Thank you. Excellent info. I'm printing this to refer to it later.

No, I usually try to sneak in very early on a Saturday (or weekday if I can get a few hours off) and shoot when the place is empty. With 3,000 members, I expected there would always be crowds but if I'm there at first shot (8:00), I almost have the place to myself.

If it was a Superfund site, there is an engineering firm that has been hired to oversee the safety of the area around the site. There are several firms that manage these sites. They are required to do monthly, quarterly, and other timely tests on all sorts of things to make sure there is no leaching into surrounding areas. Once your daughter moves in, they'll start getting regular updates from whoever this is - assuming it really is a site that's been identified as contaminated. Contact the DEP. They can tell you who to get in touch with to get whatever data they have on public health for that specific site. There are so many sites in NJ that are contaminated with something that nobody has identified yet. Just because this 1 out of 1000 sites made the list doesn't mean other places are safer. I've been on work sites where test boring to check soil conditions found the 75 year old neighborhood dump under several inches of topsoil. Everybody used to throw their garbage in a low spot in the woods, dump the old motor oil in a hole in the back yard, and burn the trash and spread the ashes on the garden. I'd need to know more information before I made my decision.

I'm a new member at Quinton. I was on my way to the range this morning to sight in a new rifle. On the way, I checked the club's website and saw there was a CMP match so I turned around and headed back home. How do I know which ranges are open and which are closed during events? If one rifle range was being used for the event and the other was open, it would be nice to know this. The club lists the event but gives no details.

Took an instructor's course there. The trainer told the class that an FID card lets you transport handguns outside of the exemptions.

It's not time yet. The vast majority of NJ gun owners don't care. Until something personally effects them, they're fine with whatever restrictions they state wants to create. We haven't hit rock bottom yet. Until NJ comes for the shotguns and black powder rifles, 95% or more of NJ gun owners are fine with NJ's laws. Doesn't effect me and my deer hunt so I don't care. Like a junkie, either it will get so bad that we'll finally decide to change our lives by fighting or the 2A will just die. Either way, it's not time yet.

Good idea. Everything should be registered, licensed, restricted, and background checked. Far too much independence and freedom in this state. I want it all stamped out. Everyone who posted here saying this was a good idea and the government needs to intervene - you're why I'm leaving. And I don't even have a dog.

So...I drive out to PA, set up my drill press, and finish this thing. Can I then legally bring it back home to NJ? Forget the complicated transport laws. I'm just asking about "taking possession" of a newly manufactured handgun that I manufactured.

I like my Ruger LCP .380. I also have a North American Arms .22 with the .22mag conversion cylinder. Tiny, tiny gun. .22mag isn't the best choice for self defense but no other gun is easier to carry and conceal.

The smartest thing congress ever did was to force employers to withhold federal taxes from employees. It means that most people never notice how much money the government takes of your paycheck. I have a couple of side businesses and have to pay my own state and federal income tax (and self employment tax). Every quarter, I write a big check to Uncle Sam and I always get angry at how high a percentage he gets of my hard earned money. If everyone had to pay their taxes themselves and realized how much money they were actually handing over, there would be a revolt.

Your total yearly income is $1.00 Your tax rate is 10% so you own the government a total of ten cents of your dollar. When you were hired you filled out a W4 and gave it to your employer. This form is where you your employer how much income tax to withhold out of each paycheck. Over the course of the year, he took out a total of 12 cents - as per your instructions. Your "take home" pay was therefore 88 cents (one dollar minus the 12 cents) At the end of the year, you fill out a tax return to see if your employer took out too much or too little. In your case, the employer took out too much so the government sends you a check for 2 cents that you never should have paid in the first place.

I don't know how you can avoid muzzling someone at a gun shop. With people on both sides of the counter and lined up side by side, only up is safe. If you're going to sight down the barrel, retrieve a handgun from the case, or set one on the counter - somebody is going to get muzzled at some point. But pointing the gun at someone and pulling the trigger is a whole different thing. If they had thrown him out, I would have been fine with that.

I've bought several long guns in PA and DE at Cabelas. The first time I asked the cashier if I should go out to the truck to get my gun case. She looked at me weird and said that wasn't necessary. Someone from the gun dept walked me and my rifle to the door and handed it to me to carry out to my car. No case, no box. Nobody in the parking lot ran away screaming or called the police.

Should have been arrested. He was not shooting in self defense while they were driving away. Once he started shooting, the shoplifting driver would have been justified in running the ccw holder over in self defense - in my not so humble opinion.

I celebrate the 56th of May.

It's all BS. If you get pulled over, they know if you have a record before the officer makes it to your window. Even if the permitting system wasn't an "infringement" on a right, the fact that it takes more than 10 minutes is absolutely BS. Don't let yourself believe that getting a permit within 30 days is somehow a good thing. I hate that having the right restricted for so long has made it seem okay to so many people in NJ. Imagine if you had to wait 30 days for your permit to come through so you could practice the religion of your choice, or voice your opinion, or get a fair trial.

I bought a Stevens Little Scout .22. IT was marketed as a boys gun, probably in the early 20's, and is very short - not sure how short. The barrel and forearm separate from the rest of the gun with a single thumb screw so it can be carried in a backpack. Maybe this was the first take-down survival rifle. Its' only a .22 but it's a fun gun and I'm happy with it. I got mine for cheap at a gun show because it was missing the firing pin. I found the firing pin jammed in the trigger assembly the next day.

I wonder if they see the writing on the wall that there is talk of repealing the NFA for the first time ever and that for the first time ever, we have a president who isn't afraid to do big things. Maybe this is an attempt to soften the NFA to save it.

Grew up on a farm. We had our own hives for a few years when we had crops that relied heavily on bees for pollination. Unless you mess with them, the bees don't mess with you. As a kid, we thought nothing of walking right past the hive. The only time we ever got stung is if we accidentally stepped on a bee walking across the lawn. Bees are interesting. If I wasn't 2 hours away, I'd go for it just so my kids could learn about something new.

Can't give them your real phone number when you join. There is no emergency that will require the NRA to contact me by phone so they get their office number as my phone number when I fill out their forms.

My kid would pay the fine herself and reimburse me for the insurance surcharges for the 3 years. She might even go to court just to plead guilty in person.

In case anyone else was confused...as I was: I found this http://www.englewoodnjnews.com/supreme-court-justices-set-to-hold-conference-regarding-2nd-amendment-case-stephens-vs-jerejian

Go to your insurance. If you go to his, they're going to get your insurance company involved anyway. Your insurance company will handle everything. They'll send out an adjuster to estimate the damage. They'll negotiate with the other insurance company. They'll pay the body shop for repairs. When repairs are more than expected, they'll negotiate and inspect the car again in needed. You don't have to do a thing except file a claim and send them a copy of the police report and then just follow their instructions.
