Just fly out of Philly. Much safer.

I've used the long screwdriver trick Mustang 69 mentions lots of times. Touch the tip to the bearing (right behind the pulley) of each accessory driven by the serpentine belt. I've also used the mechanic's stethoscope mentioned here but have had better luck with the screwdriver. I am guessing Alternator or Idler Pulley.

I assumed the "pink card" allowed store employees to handle (possess) firearms at the shop and that was how it was covered.

You probably already know this trick but...Before putting the generator away, shut off the fuel valve and let the generator run until it dies. This removes most of the fuel from the carburetor. No fuel means no sticky varnish left behind when fuel evaporates.

No. We don't require any other type of insurance to mitigate all the other risks associated with life. Only cars. If you're concerned that the other driver won't have insurance and you're screwed in an accident - not so. Right now, thousands of drivers in NJ have no insurance. Your collision insurance protects you from damage you cause. Your liability insurance protects you from damaged caused by others whether they are insured or not. I live near Bridgeton. Half the cars here (maybe more) are tagged in NC, PA, or TX. Most have no insurance. Accidents happen here all the time. I bet 50% of accidents here involve unlicensed drivers in cars registered out of state with no insurance. It's standard practice when getting into an accident here for at least one of the drivers to jump out of the car and run away before the police show up. And the world goes on. I'm insured so it makes no difference if the other guy is.

Several years ago I was driving a truck registered as "farm use". They can only be driven for farm business and can only be driven so many miles from the farm. These do not require inspection and don't have inspection stickers. I got pulled over by a trooper who explained that he had pulled me over because he noticed I did not have an inspection sticker. After he stopped me he realized the vehicle was tagged farm use so no violation. He ran my DL and came back to my window with a written warning for not having a front plate. I explained that farm use vehicles are like tractors - there is only one plate. He took back the warning slip and sent me on my way.

Why do we register cars at all? Why not microwaves, toasters, and circular saws? If you're doing something wrong in your car, the police can pull you over and ask who you are. Once upon a time, traveling by car was considered something free people just got to do without having to ask permission or register anything. Somebody in government decided there was money to be made. That was so long ago that we all now debate whether we should have to have two license plates or one. Our great grandparents were angry that they had to pay money to do what they had previously been allowed to do for free. Same with drivers licenses. Has requiring drivers licenses kept bad drivers off the road? No. If you're so bad you can get a license, you get to renew your permit forever and can legally drive anyway. And if you get your license taken away, most keep driving anyway. If you get caught driving without a license, they fine you and if you don't pay the fine, they continue to not let you have the drivers license you never had anyway while you continue to drive! Like gun laws, all laws eventually become the new normal and are no longer questioned. Caged animals eventually come to appreciate the comfort of the cage.

I just read the bill. If I'm understanding it correctly, it's currently the law that If you've ever been convicted of: aggravated assault, arson, burglary, escape, extortion, homicide, kidnapping, robbery, aggravated sexual assault, sexual assault, bias intimidation, endangering the welfare of a child, stalking, or a crime involving domestic violence, and are later found in possession of a firearm, the mandatory sentence is 5 years for that possession. This bill adds carjacking, gang criminality, racketeering, and terroristic threats to that list. I guess he signed it because it makes gun laws tougher and he's really under fire for being too anti gun. Even though it's a good bill, somebody will spin it to prove that's he's still passing anti-gun laws.

Never had a problem with Tula. I do think that some boxes of Tula leave residue but not all. My guess is that they use whatever powder they can get cheap at the time. But they all go bang, auto load fine, and end up on the target.

Bought two of those metal 3' wide x 6' high storage cabinets they use in offices. Got them cheap at an auction. For fasteners that aren't in the original box, I use the cheap, single-use Tupperware type storage containers from the grocery store. Everything labeled and in it's place.

A $12 knife will never hold an edge like a $50 knife will. But...no knife will hold an edge after weeks of cutting cardboard. A good knife with a really sharp edge is a fragile thing. For breaking down boxes, get a $3 utility knife and just change the blade every time it starts to get dull.

Any lumberyard will have fire sealant in a caulking tube. It swells up and fills the void when it gets hot. It's used to seal penetrations around pipe or electrical conduit in fire partition walls. But I don't think that's what you need. Fire won't jump into your safe through a small opening and if your house is so engulfed in flame that the floor under the safe is ablaze, I don't think your guns are going to fair well, sealant or no sealant. I'm assuming the opening will be some standardized size for electrical hardware? If so, an electrical strain relief connector will work.

I'm friends with a guy who's dad is getting Alzheimers. Dad heard an intruder taking a shower and confronted the intruder with his shotgun. Turned out it was his other son. Dad had forgotten that he had stopped by to shower and change on his way to a meeting. Fortunately, nobody got hurt. He recognized the son, just forgot he had stopped by a few minutes earlier. So, my friend removed the guns from the house. Now the only thing he and his dad talk about is why he "stole" his dad's guns. The father remembers that clearly and it's changed the relationship.

I know finn's point well. I always thought it would make a great spot for a right-to-carry rally.

Excellent Info. Thank you.

Thankfully, that old South Jersey hasn't changed as much.

Thanks, Is there a staff or do members just get a key to the gate? If I was a member and wanted to shoot on a Wednesday during my lunch break, would I be waiting my turn to use the range or would I have the place to myself. I've considered becoming a member for a while. The 600 yd range interests me the most. But if there's always going to be competition to get a spot at the bench, I'll stick with my home range and friend's farms.

What hours are the ranges available to members?

But what if you had a sex change but identified as your original sex? Do you need a new FID then?

or just pass legislation with a majority vote that contradicts the EO. EO's are to be used to direct agencies and others how to follow the constitution and legislation or to fill in gaps where neither of those apply. EO's are not more powerful than legislation.

That's the barracks. At the same time that people were on here (maybe you) complaining about waits of several months, Bridgeton barracks did mine in 42 days.

Had to google it - Nice!

Always give the NRA a fake phone number - preferably the number of the most Anti-gun person you know.

132,000 K-12 schools in the US. according to this: https://www.edreform.com/2012/04/k-12-facts/ Wikipedia has a list of school shootings. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_school_shootings_in_the_United_States#21st_century This list on Wikipedia has been changed recently. Before, it only listed shootings where someone intended to kill random students and listed 3 or 4 each year. Now this list includes every gang related, drive by, student on student confrontation, accidental, parent on parent, and police shooting plus all shootings on college campuses. I just went through this list from 2010 through 2014 and found 20 shootings that may be the type that everyone considers to be "school shootings". But check out the link above for yourself and make your own decision. 20 shootings over 5 years (2010 - 2014) = 4 shootings per year. 4 shootings per year / 132,000 schools = 1 shooting for every 33,000 schools Which means that…each school should expect an "active shooter" event every 33,000 years. My numbers are different than what I got 2 years ago but the data available is more muddied now.

Why? NEW JERSEY! That's why. By the way, it is illegal to leave a loaded firearm within easy access of a minor. Otherwise, keep them loaded and store them wherever you want - on your own property. That includes any land owned or possessed by you, including your place of business if it's a fixed location that you own or rent.
