voyager9, Sorry to hear this. My condolences to you and your family. It is always tough to lose a pet. They are like family members. S.

Can someone who has a SL account please contact them and telll them it is NJ2AS and NOT NJSAS? Thank you. I also think there was more than 200 people there.

I did not wear the t-shirt while canvasing either. I was in Glassboro. It appeared that some people wanted to sign our petition, but were afraid of their names being known. The Sweeney supporters we encountered were not rude; they just said, "no thanks, I cannot sign it or not interested." We came across a few people who said they were not involved in politics, didn't know anything about Sweeney, and would not sign. Sad to say, these were fairly young couples that knew nothing about politics.

Jfoster99- That is pretty much how my day went too. Most people where I canvassed were not home. Not sure if it was due to the power outage also. I won't mention how many signatures we got then. Most of the people we talked to were without power most of the week, it came back on Thursday night and went out again this morning. The pouring rain did not help either today. My canvassing partner and I never once mentioned guns today. We focused on the property tax rate (hit the mark with this one), educational funding, and third, the pension system. I mainly focused on making changes in Trenton, asking them if they were satisfied on the three things mentioned above and the direction the state is heading. We encountered three types of people today: 1) Those fed up and signed 2) Those who knew nothing about Sweeney and didn't sign 3) Those who did not want to sign whether they were Sweeney supporters or did not have enough info from us to sign We converted some people into signing also. We would have had more signatures if we had some literture to pass out also. Some would not sign because they did not have enough information about Sweeney. I directed them to the Sweeney recall website. Some suggested we come back with a Recall Christie list and they would sign it. S.

Congratulations!!

I am down. I just signed up. I am in Burlington county if anyone wants to meet up and caravan down there. PM me. I agree = no camo. Be clean; be presentable. We are going to knock on peoples doors; you don't want to look like 1%'s. The liberal media feeds off of that.

I am happy to say I had a good day at the range today. I was very surprised with my shooting today with pistol and rifle (rifle especially). 1) I got to shoot my S&W 686+ I picked up a few weeks ago. Sweet shooter. I really like it. 2) Finally shooting my AR after more than a year. I was making some great shots at 100 yards. Then we moved over to the 200 yard range that had an 8" plate hanging. First time I ever shot at steel. I love the sound of the bullet leaving the rifle and then hitting the steel. I did it with my friend's scoped .223 bolt action and my AR-15 with Aimpoint Pro. I loved "ringing the gong" and hearing the "ting" and seeing the steel plate swing back and forth. It put a smile on my face. I did not think I was going to hit the 8" plate with my AR and Aimpoint as I could barely see it at 200 yards. At one point I hit 4 out of 5 in a row (no bullshit. lol). I tell you what, shooting at long distances and making constant hits gives me a whole another appreciation for what our American Snipers do. I am also amazed at what hand loads can do vs. factory ammunition. My friend had his own hand loaded .223 for his bolt-action. His groups were tight. He did have some FTF's though; he wasn't able to fully close the bolt on a couple of rounds. I was shooting 55 grain 5.56x45 out of my AR and the groups were not too bad either. 3) Getting to shoot my friends' cousin's 1884 Springfield .45-70 (trap-door I think he called it) rifle. What a fun rifle to shoot. So that was my day. S.

Sweeney is a small fish....It is Norcross who is the puppet master.

Not sure if this was posted yet, but the Supreme Court denied certiorari in another Second Amendment case. Justice Thomas gave a scathing dissent in why they should hear the case. http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/volokh-conspiracy/wp/2015/06/09/supreme-court-declines-to-hear-second-amendment-case-over-dissent-of-two-justices/ "In Jackson v. City and County of San Francisco, however, two justices believe the Court should have granted review. Justice Clarence Thomas filed a dissent from the denial of certiorari, joined by Justice Antonin Scalia. At issue in Jackson was a local ordinance that restricted gun possession in the home. Specifically, the law prohibits the keeping of a handgun in the home unless it is a) disabled (as with a trigger lock) or b) carried on the person of an adult. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit rejected a challenge to this law, prompting several gun owners to seek Supreme Court review. Although the law here would seem to raise serious questions under Heller and McDonald, there were not four justices willing to vote for certiorari." S.

The story has made national news. I saw it again on Greta Van Sustran's show last night. She said the police Chief is blaming the fingerprinting system as to why it takes so long to get the permits back. Why are some towns faster than others ones?

I have a problem with this: "Republican lawmakers say they'll back state legislation to require that gun permit requests from domestic violence victims be expedited. If combined with a Democratic bill making it easier to deny gun permits to those who have been convicted of domestic violence, the dual approach could help victims, especially women, to avoid further horrors." It is not tit-for-tat. Dems will only approve of Repubs give in to the DV bill? Who says a DV life is more important than mine? The process should be sped up or removed for all, not just victims of DV. S.

I believe, Yes. Depends on the mount height you get. I got mine from LaRue Tactical with the QD mount.

The delay is in West Trenton. From my sources, there is a new Captain of the FIU unit and he is not to quick to sign off on paperwork. Took me 12 weeks to get my paperwork back from them recently. And I already have my FID card. They called my references in the first month. Cashed my check the beginning of the third month.

Well, I guess that will never happen in the PRNJ. I went to vote in the primaries tonight. Guess what number I was? 8. Effin' 8. Should have been in the hundreds at least. No one votes or cares. People are apathetic towards voting and politicians. I try to get my family and friends to vote (not just today) and it falls on deaf ears.

That woman is insane. I heard her rant. Sounds like the Moms for Everytown BS speech. How many female lives would be saved from knives? fists? bats?

Exactly my point. The committee is stacked with more Dems every time. It is not like on the national level where they may sway their vote the other way. In the PRNJ, they do whatever Sweeney tells them to do. In 18 months all these anti-gun bills will get passed. Does not even one Dem in NJ have to balls to vote pro-gun? I need to step up my "leaving NJ for good plan". I wrote each committee member; not one response back. Not a "thanks for writing us", or F. U., or a "no, I am voting for it". Nada. S.

It is always going to pass.....the deck is stacked in the Dems favor every time. I quite often feel writing them means and does nothing. Just like in the past when I have written to Rush Holt, Booker, and Menedez, they all said "thanks for your opinion, but we are voting this way anyway".

T- Bill- Can you please explain what you said? I do not know what you mean be Series 70 or Series 80. Thanks. S.

I wrote the Assembly members today. S.

I will be there Saturday morning.

I am leaning towards the RO. Or the RO Loaded. Not sure I like the adjustable rear sight on the RO. Is it cheaper to get the RO and just buy aftermarket Novak sights? Or just go with the RO Loaded to start with. I am also considering the Ruger SR 1911. Just have to go find one to look at. I would still like to look at the Para's too. But then I read their customer service is not good. Then I was looking at the Colt XSE...... more decisions. The more research I do, the harder it gets. After reading about the internal vs. external extractor debate my head is spinning. The Sig TacOps I like has an external extractor...so that changed my thought process....a little.

Thanks Pizza Bob, but I am looking for some thing that can be CCW out of state (hence the LCR or SW snubby) or bedside drawer gun. The two SA (Ruger Vaquero and Uberti Cattleman) were just for plinking guns at the range. I really don't want to let the 3rd permit go to waste since it took me 12 weeks to get.

No opinions on any of the revolvers I listed? thanks.

Thank you for your replies. I reading up more about the differences between the internal vs. external extractor. Seem people are split on that too. I read that John Browning orignally designed the 1911 to have the external extractor, but the military made him change it to an internal one. 1brentenfan, I shot my friend's Taurus 1911. It was okay.

BullzeyeNJ- I looked at the Springfield 1911 RO other day the LGS, I liked the looks and feel of it. I did not like how rough the slide was to move back and forth. Was it because it is a new gun? Perhaps. Also, the beaver tail grip was "loose" it seemed. Is that normal? I do not recall that the beaver tail grip was that loose in the Sig Tacops.
