MeanderingCuban

What we should have is a picture of the ratio of Anti-2A folks to Pro-2A folks. There were approximately eight perhaps ten Pro-2A folks in a audience. In other words the Pro-2A's turnout was pitiful and embarrassing. Folk in NJ wonder how NJ got so bad. The answer was in the low turnout.

I;m near complete on all my reloading supplies and the last thing on the list is a cleaner for my brass. I'm not going the walnut or corn cob route due to the mess it produces. So my two choices are either a rock tumbler with stainless steel pins or an ultrasonic cleaner. I'd like to get some opinions from folks that have used both and the pro's and con's? Do I go the tumbler or ultrasonic route? I've got enough in the reloading budget to buy one and stick with it so I don't have much room for trial and error. I'll be relaoding the following: 45 ACP 38 Special 357 Magnum .223/556 30-06

I'm concentrating on introducing as many people as I can to the shooting sports. I'm done giving these jack wagons any of my time.

Well stated Chris. Privileges and RIGHTS are two very different things. I've learned that there is a very definitive and distinct difference between a gun owner an and a supporter of the Constitution and the Second Amendment.

I have to say that I took my wife on Monday after 12:30 Pm and she enjoyed shooting very much. My wife never hated guns but she's not a big fan of indoor ranges. Being outdoors at CR helped make the experience much more enjoyable. On the way home she commented that she would like to go back and shoot again. Will I be renewing next year? Yes. As a matter of fact I will probably get a family membership as my wife now seems to enjoy shooting and our daughter will be of age to go to CR with us. Overall CR is a great range. I guess I just got a bit ticked off at the fact that the pistol range was closed to members on the first day my wife and I were off from work at the same time and I could introduce her to shooting. But, in the end it all worked out. To boot I got to go again this Friday!!

Well guess what. I called CR Monday around 11AM to see if the cops were running late or if the pistol range would be open to members at the stated time of 12:30PM. The cops never showed up, so the pistol range was open as usual. I think CR needs to address this with the PD's that are scheduled to come and qualify. If CR is closing the range to it's members as a courtesy to the LEO's then the LEO's should have the decency to either show up or at least notify the range that they will not be coming.

I disagree. It will change for me because I'll take my money elsewhere.

Sorry Newtonian but your point is not very valid. People are have paid for the use of the range and it's annoying and to put it bluntly unfair and not good business that the association closes it off the the paying members for non-paying LEO's. I dont think it's good or bad PR because most cops probably don't care about the PR they are just getting some free range time on our backs which is annoying since there are LEO only ranges they can go to. The least the LEO's could do is donate some of their time back to CR and maybe hold a few free classes or something. At least when GFH has an event it's very outreach based and I have no problem with that. I think next time around my money is going to GFH and not CR.

Thanks, I have to admit that it pisses me off that the ranges get closed to paying members so that non-paying cops can shoot. I may go elsewhere after my membership is up. If I'm paying I should be able to use the facility.

I was going to take my wife to CR this Monday Oct 13th during the morning hours so she could shoot. However, the pistol range is closed until 12:30 PM due to a police event. My question is, how crowded does the pistol range get after the police event is over at 12:30 PM? Is there a large crowd waiting for the ports to open up at 12:30PM ? As a side not it is annoying as hell that CR does this to there members.

I'm a new member and I have to admit that it also annoys me to high heaven that the pistol ranges are closed for police this Monday. I was going to take my wife up and introduce her to shooting but there goes that idea. I also may not be renewing my membership next year. Instead my money may go to GFH.

Is this already heading to the Governor's desk?

Thanks

This topic brings up another question. What's the best way to preserve powder once the bottle has been opened?

I guess the best place for it would be my basement? It's anywhere between 65 and 70 degrees during the winter and at most 75 degrees during a heat wave. As far as humidity goes I run a dehumidifier spring, summer and fall and leave it set at 50% relative humidity. I take it these are somewhat ideal conditions?

I decided to reload after one of my friends who is also a NJGF member got me going by giving me a press, powder, primers and bullets. Since I'm on a budget due to things called responsibility I have to slowly buy my supplies on a monthly basis. I am thinking about getting what seems to be the most scares supplies first, powder and primers. So my question is, if I purchase pistol and rifle powder now as well as pistol and rifle primers do these have a long (say 2 or more years) or limited shelf life?

And very few us indeed.

The Unions control a lot of voters? I guess that means people cannot think for themselves. I belong to a union but I vote the way I want no matter who they endorse.

No, it's not game over for us due to a democratic legislature and governor. What has to happen is the 1 million or so gun owners in NJ have to get off their asses and vote. In other words it's game over for us due to the inactions of many gun owners.

I thought the same thing last night.

I have to wonder how many Dem's will vote for this. Many of them own guns and if this becomes law one argumentative moment with a spouse, friend or neighbor can bring this law onto them. As a matter of fact political opponents can use this one each other.

I've been getting the same vibe from the staffers. Let's keep calling.

I keep asking them for the research and I never hear back from Weinberg and company. Of course I know they made this up, that's why I keep badgering them about it.

Wow, were the folks at NJ 101.5 drinking or smoking something?

Yup she did
