Thank you all. I guess I won't be bringing anything I have up there. Not like the Update NY I knew when I was a kid......

Boooo!!!!! Thank you.

Hello- I was wondering if anyone knows about being able to take an AR-15 up to NY State. I plan on taking a trip this weekend to visit my friend who has a home up there. He says I cannot bring mine because of the pistol grip. I have not heard of this. Is this true? Is this something new under that ridiculous Safe Act? Thanks, S. *Can a PM please move this the correct forum? My bad*

jty- Thank you. Yeah, surprised I purchased a box of .45acp for $23.99 when I bought the gun. Sad how I have a box of .40 marked for $10.99 from years ago.

I want to thank everyone for their suggestions on the 1911's. Today I purchased a Springfield Loaded 1911 in .45cal. Full size. My first 1911. Trijicon Nitesights. I like the way it feels in my hand. I cannot wait to get to the range and shoot it. Not sure on how I feel about the ambi safety selector, but oh well, I never had a 1911 so I guess I do not know what I am missing. I also read there has been some controvesy about where the Springfield 1911's are made, USA or Brazil. According to my serial number, it looks like it was made/assembled in the US. Thank you to Howell Gun Works for their excellent customer service. Now if I could only post a picture.......

I saw it too. I felt it should have attacked Christie and the NJ legislature more though.

Scorpio64- Thank you. I was looking in my Northern Tool catalog at Honda portable generators and Generac's.

How does one determine the right size portable generator to get? What is the smallest (or biggest) to get to run a few appliances like a freezer, refrigerator, etc.? I see some come with a battery. Why would I want that? What happens if the battery is or goes dead? Thanks. S.

From my experience, after judge signs order they send the expungement to the attorney who should notify the LE agencies and courts to expunge their records. Time varies. Some lawyers take care of it sooner than others.

TokenEntry- Nope. I went there Friday (Sept. 4) afternoon and Tom did it right there for me. All I did was have the slide removed from the pistol. But, also have purchased a gun and other supplies from them. They are good guys; I do not see why the pricing would be different. I was expecting $20-25.

Because "civil rights watchdogs" pick and choose what issues they want to defend. Some rights are more equal than others so to speak. If it was a gay rights and gun rights issue, like denying gays a CCW permit, the civil rights watchdogs and media would be all over it. Since it is banning a right that most people in NJ are against it seems to be okay to violate our rights. The banning of CCW because of "justifible need" should be an easy slam dunk for us in court, but it is an issue not taken on by any large civil rights group or the NRA. Look at how gay marriage is not a "right" and the SCOTUS was all over it. Our 2nd Amendment rights are trampled everyday here in the PRNJ and no civil rights group touches it.

Howell Gun Works did a Glock sight install for me for $15.00.

No problem.

OfcrFek I got it for you. NJNSP-2900. S.

Once. I just did mine last week from State Police. Got it back in less than a week!! I was surprised. Back in the day (dating myself) they just typed over the old date on my permits. On Monday I got a whole new permit with new date.

I usually buy from the same LGS here. I do price shop first. I will tell you to be honest I shop around at Cheyenne Outfitters (old Harry's Army & Navy), Sportmen's Center, and now Howell Gunworks. I have bought from all three. Whomever has to best selection (that I am looking for) gets my business. I do think service counts for repeat sales. I have been disppointed in Sportsmans Center over the last few years because their inventory is not like it once was. Love the people that work there though. They used to know me by name when I came in. Cheyenne has better inventory, but customer service there is hit or miss. Howell GW is the new place I have gone to. I like their service and selection. Smokin .50 mentioned business relationship is everything. I agree, but it often times seems like a one-way street. Some businesses rip/rob people off with their prices. I see it often times in the motorcycle business. I sometimes often wonder how my local dealership stays in business with the prices he charges for service and parts. It is like they are still in business despite themselves and their attitudes. Because they are the "only dealer in town" attitude. To me, I will be locally, as often times by the time you factor in shipping and transfer fees it will be equal or a little more than taxes and mark up. To me if it is within $25 the LGS will get the business. I have never purchased a gun online because I will not be something sight unseen. If I fondle it enough times at the LGS, I will buy it from them. I am not one of those douches that goes several times and then buys it online. If I am in your store several times, there is a reason, and I eventually aim to buy something. S.

I understand that. But are we flying planes over Russian airspace to test their response times? Are we planning on setting of an EMP over Russia? Are we building up our military to fight them, while China build more ships and bases? We waste so much time and money watching people with Confederate flags and not enough on the real threats.

Wayne La Pierre? Chris Cox? Some one from the NRA to get the media's attention.

http://www.cnbc.com/2015/08/06/russia-hacks-pentagon-computers-nbc-citing-sources.html I thought this was interesting. Saw no main stream media coverage for this event. Russia and China keep testing our defense and security systems. We are going to get caught with our pants down and will be screwed. S.

Boooo!!! I agree with most on the site. How do you stop the Piney's with monster tires from trashing and tearing up the roads? I do NOT agree with the PPA and DEP shutting down the roads without public input. I go on that October 4x4 clean up every year. You would be amazed at the trash we pull out of there. It is just like us here being reactive instead of proactive. Gov't strikes and then it is too late.

Excuse my ignorance, but what is the purpose of this event? Is a politician near by? Media there? What are they trying to accomplish knowing how LEO's act or react in this state?

I have the Bushnell trophy camera. Works great. Takes photos or video. Takes a lot of batteries too. 10 AA ones. Lasts a long time though.

Call Geico or Allstate to get better rates than Rider.

I switched from Rider to Allstate insurance after 20 years with Rider. They jumped my rate $400 after they reclassified my Triumph as a sportbike.

As High Exposure will say, "buy once, cry once". Save up your money and buy a decent optic. You won't regret it. S.
