Anyone entrusted with a firearm that exposed it at that time should loose the ability to carry. Maybe even be locked up.

This is what I was answering. I believe the only restriction was on machine guns. (I was a teenager in the 50's)

When I was a teenager

Got my key fob in the Spring when I renewed, but the gate has been up every time I went, so I don't know if it works.

As I was reading this thread, the light by my computer went off, my computer UPC beeped for awhile and the light came back on. I walked downstairs and could hear the generator outside humming on natural gas. I think I am ready.

I miss Jim.

Best argument I've heard today for "Home Carry" :icon_mrgreen:

I don't understand why people opt for biometric safes. Anything I cannot open with a key or push buttons with no reliance on batteries is bogus. Your keys need to go somewhere at night; keep your safe key on your key ring and stick it in the lock at night.

When I was a kid in Berkeley Heights in the 50's, I would cut Mr. Lange's fields in Warren Township. I was 13~14. He would let me strap his 1911 on my hip and use his tractor to cut the fields. The 1911 was for any snakes I saw near the turkey coops and bottles that might be on the fence toward the woods...... Another of my neighbors found a satchel full of shotgun shells belonging to his father who had passed on; so he, my Mother, Father, and a couple of friends went to the above friends fields with a hand thrower and a couple of 12 gauge shotguns. My shoulder was sore for a week.

Indoctrination is done correctly when the subject doesn't believe it has been done. Repost: http://gunssavelives.net/blog/the-plan-to-disarm-america-within-two-generations-is-happening-right-now/

I only saw that once, and I don't recommend it. Very nice light chocolate colored stuff came out, just a little thinner than Hersey's syrup.

I use synthetics in all my cars. With the Amsoil "25000" oil I run around 10,000 miles on everything but my Turbo Miata. Every time I change I have the oil tested by Blackstone labs and after 10,000 miles the oil is testing very good. I really don't want to stretch it further, but probably could. I do not believe the "25000" mile figure.

You need to get outside and drive your Miata more, rather than playing with your screen name (I drive them also)

Hope they don't do this too often; what a waste of ammo! We knew this many many years ago.

Sorry guys, I started the thread to ask HOW people carry at home and why they do it THAT WAY; not to get into debates as to whether we should carry at home or not. BUT; some of the comments and debated points were very interesting.

As I read the statutes, and I am by no means a lawyer, there are a couple of things to consider; First, if you have an FID and you are shooting long guns, you can transport them to a safe area that allows safe discharge of firearms. If you are looking to transport handguns to that location, the statutes allow you to transport ONLY to an authorized club or range with no unnecessary deviations. Even if my next door neighbor gives me permission to carry a handgun onto his property, I would be in violation of a strict interpretation of the statutes.

The conditions were originally coined for a 1911 as below and of course it had an external safety and hammer: Condition 0 - A round is in the chamber, hammer cocked, and the safety is off. Condition 1 - furthermore known as "cocked and locked”, means a round is in the chamber, the hammer cocked, and the manual thumb safety on the side of the frame is applied. Condition 2 - A round is in the chamber and the hammer is down. Condition 3 - The chamber is empty and hammer down with a charged magazine in the gun. Condition 4 - The chamber is empty, hammer down and no magazine is in the gun. Adapting these to a Glock, condition 3 is the same whether it is cocked or not because racking the slide would cock it and as carried would make no difference. You call a chambered round in a Glock condition 1 only because there is the trigger safety. Purists might call it condition 0 because of the ease of getting off a round without addressing a safety. You are correct on the Israeli method utilizing condition 3

Not that I am aware of, but I am on a main road to Paterson

For others that carry at home, how do you carry and why? I'll start; I carry concealed at home as I do in free states so that I am consistent. It also eliminates comments or concerns from delivery people or others that might stop in. Plus, in this day and age, it is better that my Grandchildren don't happen to mention in school that Grandpa has a gun on his hip. I carry a Glock 19 IWB in condition 3 in the house where I would not anticipate up close and personal surprise. I practice the "Israeli Method" so that I am conditioned to do so. I carry condition 1 outside NJ; thinking the worst that could happen because of my condition 3 practice is dropping a round. Remembering to lock up the gun when leaving the property and feeling naked without it are the only drawbacks I've encountered. My wife has gotten into the habit of asking "Are you Packing" before we leave the driveway, just in case I forget.

You expected something different from a narrative written by and for a group that is mostly progressives?

The only other safety is the trigger safety which will keep the firing pin from moving if the Glock is dropped.

Yes, property marked. Came without a magazine, which at the time, was almost half the cost of the rifle($75). Plastic trigger guard was also cracked and needed to be replaced. Wood is very good.

Ditto. Had a Mossberg 44 when I was a kid so when I got back into shooting I picked up a 44US from CMP for nostalgia reasons. Shoots great and I've used it to get my Grandsons into shooting.
