That is funny! Years ago the cops told my dad in NY they had no issue if he kept a gun In the house. They suggested that if he ever shot anyone that before he called them that he should do two things. First if shot outside drag them in the house. Second in case they were not armed put a kitchen knife in their hands. BTW this was in 1970.

Bedside is my Glock G22 with combo laser/flashlight loaded up with .40 S&W defensive rounds. At desk is good 'ole 1911 with .45 acp hollow points. In between two are a pair of Siberian Huskies that will lick any intruder to death

My daughter told me that a her friend's husband has been waiting since November 2013 to get permits in Parsippany and has heard nothing. Anytime he calls he never can reach anyone. Any suggestions?

That is too funny! So was this by car? Is it ok to drive with it from NC? I guess yes but perhaps not if hollow point to NJ?

I saw one recently either on Foxnews or CBS news (sorry forgot which) that looked impressive. It was a wrist strap like a watch that you could monitor online and it would send you a signal if it was taken off. You could also program it for allowed areas and it would send you an alarm if the unit moved out of those areas. Technology is amazing.

Ouch, that hurts Hey, if a call is close I will usually give the benefit of the doubt to the shooter, EXCEPT if it is a safety issue. You break the 180, sweep anyone or fire a shot when you don't intent to then you are gone for the day - no way I want unsafe actions taking place and the only way to prevent them are to DQ people so they learn. That said there is nothing wrong with the Glock matches, they can be fun. The issue I have is that for us Northern NJ people they involve a lot of travel time and a lot of wait time for three stationary stages where you don't draw from a holster and you don't do any reloads on the clock. They are much more exciting that just converting money into noise at the range, but I find them very boring compared to action matches. For a new shooter that does not have a holster or is not confident about using one there are other matches that are fun in the area. There is static steel matches, knockdown steel matches and even some matches the only use .22 guns. I would urge all shooters that have not done these to give them a try, they will greatly improve your shooting abilities and are a lot of fun.

If you want to win stuff play the lottery .

I would suggest people just go to IDPA, USPSA and other monthly local matches which are a hell of a lot more fun any way.

Sounds good, I'll make my wife wear one!

Love the new Sig

Glad to hear you are ok, that must have been some scare. Sure glad my Prius does not rely on actual brakes for most of its stopping.

Thanks, will check will check those out! -----Just going through it now, some very insightful info there. Thanks.

You actually allow Pete to have access to guns when you are not around? That sounds very reckless to me!

Agreed, that is why I ought the higher end one that has a keypad as well

Not sure I buy the warnings on biometrics. I have never had mine not open with my fingers. Mine stores 32 images and I have both thumbs and index fingers stored with five or six different positions on the sensor. Also it has the keypad just incase.

True that

Sandy sandy sandy, never admit to anything on the internet. It never goes away, unlike my bike!

Crap, gotta run.... My bike is chained to a parking meter

I think it valid because the NICs form has some stuff that has to be checked if you claim to not be a citizen, but I have never read it.

Check the date on many of those videos. I believe they were once valid but these companies fixed the defects in newer models.

No one knows the firearm laws in this state. My FFL recently called the state police firearms unit And talked two officers there and got totally opposing answers to the same question. THAT is screwed up!

Randolph has been very good with Permits. We have one woman who is a civilian employee that handles all paper work and she does a great job.

Mine is the Barska, but I don't consider it a safe, rather a deterrent. My wife would go absolutely ape shit if I bolted it the floor, so I have done the next best thing. It sits in a corner next to my dresser. I have bolted a pair of 8' long 2"x"4's to it that run behind my dresser. The only way someone would get it out would be to move the heavy dresser and then either cut the two-by-fours or try to walk through the entire house lugging this box with the wood attached. Sure it can be done, but its a darn good deterrent. Actually it might be better than bolting to the wood floor as a good crowbar would solve that problem. But again, its a deterrent and that is what I bought it for.

Years and years ago I heard a saying which has stuck with me: "Locks are not to keep thieves out, they are merely to keep honest people honest". Anyone that truly wants to get your stuff will, the question is how difficult do you need to make it for them? You need to be able to come up with a good answer to that in order to determine what type of containment vessel you want to invest in. I've got a Barska "locking cabinet" (aka safe) that has a keypad, biometric reader, and keypad. Speaking of keypad, didn't your's have a key to open it Sandy? I don't consider these things to be true safes, rather they are fairly secure locking containers. They will keep a kid out, they will keep the maid out, they will keep a casual person from gaining access, but they will NOT keep a determined individual with a little time out. But then again, if someone has time they will get through anything.

Thanks, I'll check it out. I am getting a lot of conflicting advice on this. Some (like you) are telling me to buy a cheaper one and add components while others are telling me to just get the DJI with all the bells and whistles. I am starting to get the feeling that this is like PC's, you can buy a Dell or build your own. The Dell has everything out of the box and support but you may pay more for non-standard stuff; while when you build you design it the way you want but by the time all is said and done you may actually spend more money and have "issues" but you may get some better features. Decisions, decisions, decisions.
