  1. If you need to modify one, do it yourself. FFL's have to log "assault weapons" that come into their shops for work and those books are reviewed by NJSP.
  2. I really enjoy (1) taking new shooters to the range and (2) shooting alone. I don't enjoy shooting with others (except for new shooters) quite as much. I've had fun a hundred times shooting with others but there are lots of times that I'm in the mood to go it alone. Taking someone, especially a new shooter, to the range is fun. The first time is always exciting and I like to be part of that. I have never taken anyone shooting for their first time who didn't leave with a big stupid grin. That's fun. But, spending time breaking clays or punching paper when I can relax, take my time, nobody else is chatting with me, I don't have to take turns, I don't have to explain anything - that's a lot of fun too.
  3. I drive my car, go fishing in a boat, and go to the range by my self all the time. Follow the same safety rules when you're alone or with others and you'll be fine.
  4. I took a girl from work shooting for her first time. She brought her husband along who had shot a few times. She was such a better shot than he was. When we were back at work the next day, I complimented her on being so kind and pretending not to notice.
  5. They better because we're gonna break it.
  6. I agree. Risk is very low. Do what you have to do. But...I'm going to nit pick. Nobody gets arrested for taking unreasonable deviations. People get arrested for unlawful possession. You just get to use the reasonable deviation thing as a defense if it applies.
  7. I use Firefox. Same here. It won't load page 2 of a thread about half the time. I hit refresh and it comes right up.
  8. I got excited the day I saw this: "RESTORE RIGHT TO CARRY IN NEW JERSEY" Then I went to their website to find out what the plan was and how I could help....nothing there.
  9. Be straight up in all your business dealings. If you think LGS is giving you the run around, call them and tell them that. Tell them that you've already talked to Ameriglo and they haven't heard from LGS. See if they have a logical explanation. If not, tell them you need a refund and take your business elsewhere.
  10. The Affordable Care Act is doing exactly what it was designed to do - make it impossible for most people to afford health care so that we beg the government to take over healthcare to "fix" it. The problem, as congress sees it, is that the healthcare industry isn't being run by the government. Imagine how much more political power, bribes, favors, illegal income, and swagger there will be for politicians who control and launder all of the money in the healthcare industry. But, there was no justification to rip control of healthcare from the private sector since everything was working fine. So, they had to break it first. The Affordable Care Act was designed to do that.
  11. My doctor once prescribed a medication to help me loose weight. I forget the name of that one too but it was also used to treat ADHD. Somebody discovered that appetite suppression was a side effect so it was also used for that. I asked if it would ever show up on a mental health background check that I had been prescribed a med used for ADHD. My doctor is a big gun guy too so he knew why I was asking. He said that it wasn't going to be reported to anyone and it wouldn't ever show up on any background check.
  12. At work, we have three managers who oversee 10 site supervisors who oversee roughly 75 employees. We were down to only one manager for a while - me. I was swamped, overwhelmed, and not sleeping well. I was prescribed something to help me sleep. I was some anxiety med I can't remember the name of. I took it for about a month - maybe 6 weeks. It helped me over the hump until the open positions were filled. I don't consider myself to have been treated for a psychiatric condition. I was stressed and not sleeping well - no disorder - no condition. I answer "No".
  13. I'm an NRA instructor. Can you point me to the information on how to get exempted. I haven't found it on DC's site.
  14. But we only have two choices: (1) make Gottleib rich and win some 2A ground in the courts or (2) Keep Gottleib poor and don't win that ground in the courts. I don't have a third option so I'm going to continue to contribute.
  15. Here's the hard part. You need 16 hours of training and 2 hours of live fire. There are lots of companies that are certified to do training but all seem to train their own security guards. I only found one that offers training to people like us. But, why would there be any other schools when we know DC doesn't offer permits. The classes are 4 hours per night- 4 night plus a morning 2 hour live fire. So you need to be in DC for 4 days to get the training. I was hoping to drive down and spend 2 days getting the training.
  16. I don't know what it is but it's not a black widow. We have lots of black widows here.
  17. I think I understand the strategy. (1) Agree that regulations are required so that the other side accepts that and doesn't push for banning bumpfire stocks. (2) Put the focus on stocks so they don't start trying to ban semi-auto rifles. The end result will be banning bump fire stocks, lots of talk about banning semi-auto rifles, and no national reciprocity. If there was no chance of winning this round, the NRA should have just shut up and stayed away. The NRA screwed the pooch on this one.
  18. Nails: Cut off wheel on angle grinder. Door: diamondd817 nailed it above (no pun intended) Looks like the opening from top of window to floor is about 82 inches and window width is about 40. This is big enough to fit a 3'-0" x 6'-8" door in a wooden frame. After making sure there is no electric or plumbing in the wall under the window, do as diamond suggested. Pad out the opening using framing lumber to make the opening the proper size for your new door and frame. Hang the door and frame on the new framing lumber. Find trim wide enough to cover the edges of the padding you installed or just rip 1x pine to the proper width. Paint and done. If this is a garage, it won't meet code. You need a fire rated separation between a garage and house. But, I see framing lumber on top of the wall and you have a window so you're no where close to code now. A door won't be any worse and if you're fine with it, I'm fine with it.
  19. In my non-lawyer opinion. A bike is a vehicle. There is no trunk. So, transporting in a securely fastened case and unloaded is legal as long as you're traveling within one of the exemptions: to the range, to a gun shop, to your place of business (that you own), etc. Traveling to PA is not one of the exemptions, unless you're going to a range in PA.

    You can stamp your gun any way you like. This gun is mine.

    I have the CZ Teal O/U in 12ga. I've put several hundred rounds through mine. I'm happy with the gun but it's a good $600 gun, not a $2,000 gun. The only complaint I have is the trigger reset is longer than I would like. I have had several occasions where I've pulled the trigger for a rapid second shot and got nothing. I hadn't let the trigger come forward far enough to reset for the second shot. I also made two very minor alterations to mine. I drilled and tapped the rib for a mid bead and stamped a "T" and "B" next to the barrel selector since I can never remember if left is top or left is bottom. That said, for the price, I would not hesitate to buy one again.
  22. Depending on how old it was, I may have put the label and stamp on it. We spent hours sitting around the kitchen table addressing those things.
  23. This thread has been fun. I grew up on a wholesale nursery and worked on the family farm weekends, evenings, and summers. I know the names of most of the shrubs found in landscapes - but only the Latin names. Pretty useless information. Try going to Home Depot and asking if they have any Chamaecyparis obtusa 'Nana Gracilis'. They just look at you stupid.
