When brushes, swabs, or bore snakes get filthy, I dip them in a coffee can of acetone and splash them around a little. Strips everything out of the fabric. Hang to dry.

any plumbing supplier will have a pop up stopper for a bar sink. It will probably come with the sink drain in one kit.

"All weapons being transported under paragraph (2) of subsection b., subsection e., or paragraph (1) or (3) of subsection f. of this section shall be carried unloaded and contained in a closed and fastened case, gunbox, securely tied package, or locked in the trunk of the automobile in which it is being transported, and in the course of travel shall include only such deviations as are reasonably necessary under the circumstances.” Seems obvious that you have two options when transporting. You can secure it in a trunk or you can secure ti in a fastened case, gunbox, or securely tied package. I see nothing that requires that it be within a motor vehicle that you are driving. As an interesting (at least to me) related topic. During the brief few weeks when Washington DC was forced by the court to be shall issue, I decided to get my DC carry permit. An application must be made in person and any firearm you plan to carry must be registered with the DC police. To register a firearm, you must bring it into the police station. I always park in VA and take the Metro into the city. I emailed Metro PD to ask how to legally transport my firearm from the Metro terminal in VA (Where I can legally carry) to the Police station in DC (where I can't). This would include the Metro ride and a several block walk in DC. They advised contacting the Metro to verify if they had any special rules but as per DC law, transporting a firearm unloaded and in a secured container was perfectly legal. I was surprised. I took a day off to go down and do the paperwork and the day before I was going down, the injunction was overturned and DC is no-issue again.

What's the legality of purchasing a black powder revolver in PA or DE? It seems that it should be legal. When I'm not in NJ, I'm not subject to NJ's laws. I can drive the local speed limit, pump my own gas as the local law allows, carry a firearm on my person according to the laws of the state I'm visiting. Since there are no federal laws restricting purchase of black powder guns, it seems that NJ's laws do not apply when I'm not in NJ. I realize that once I cross the river back into NJ, that gun becomes a firearm and is subject to NJ's transportation requirements. Is there any legal jeopardy in purchasing a black powder revolver in PA and then transporting it cased and unloaded back to my home?

Exactly what I was thinking. If I was troubleshooting this, I'd jump out the high and low pressure switches and see if it ran for more than the current 5 seconds. I'm a little confused about what type of heat pump this is. Is it a water-source evaporator cooling your pool water or is it a water source condenser making cold air for your living space? If it's a making cold air, I can't believe no contractor will touch this. Water source heat pumps are everywhere in commercial buildings. Maybe you should be looking at commercial contractors - just be willing to have an honest conversation about why you need them and hopefully they'll be honest with you about how much it will cost to pay a guy to work on something odd.

My water heater and heater are on concrete curbs (elevated pads) to keep them above any water problems. Would be pretty easy to pour a curb with a few bags of concrete and a form made of 2x6 if you're concerned about water in the safe.

I just bought a few boxes of shorts at Cabelas in DE.

Make an appointment to talk to the Mayor. Explain that it's a dirty tactic to delay on the front end because they got caught delaying on the back end.

Why didn't you just say "commune"? It's all clear to me now.

.22, .380, 9mm, .45LC, 7.62x54R, 30-30, .410, 20g, 12g, I've bought guns before so they could share ammo but it's not my first consideration.

I was in my office (the one in S. Jersey 3-4 years ago). My desk chair started moving around on it's own. I wondered if I was feeling dizzy and was going to pass out. Turns out I wasn't moving at all - the building was.

I agree completely. Some rules are so stupid that it hurts to follow them and sometimes you have to use common sense instead of following every rule. But...I know a guy. He had black rifles in his gun safe from pre-ban days. His wife ended up in some sort of struggle with her father who has dementia. Somebody got a restraining order against somebody - I don't know those details. End result - Sheriff's officers show up to take all of his guns and open the safes. 25 guns were sent to NJSP Firearms Investigation Unit for inspection. They determined that 3 were on the list or had too many evil features. He has been holding his breath for 2 years waiting to see if he'll be formally charged. Right now, his lawyer has advised him not to touch a gun until this is over.

That's a good idea. I like letting them take something home.

I've done gallon milk jugs of water - that's fun. I like the eggs idea. Somebody on another forum recommended balloons. Tie them side by side along a rope and try to hit them as they bob in the breeze. I am trying to come up with a decent home-made clip to hang clay pigeons on a cable too. I've got a clay trap and we shoot clays a few times a year. It's probably going to be too much to fit into the afternoon though. The suggestions are great. Thanks. Keep em' coming.

I haven't shot in several weeks because it's been too hot. Today was a nice day but I was busy all day. I did squeak in a few minutes of shooting and just got back in the house before it got too dark. I felt like relaxing instead of training so I took out the Buckmark. Standing at 50 yds I was able to get shot after shot onto an 8" gong using the factory iron sights. I realize that's not amazing shooting but it was fun. The Ruger may be just as good a gun but I really like the buckmark. Oh yeah, I was using the cheap bucket-o-bullets bullets.

I'm going to have some friends over, including a couple of teen friends of my kids, for an afternoon shooting. I'm looking for ideas for exciting targets to shoot. Watermelons are fun. Paint cans from the dollar store are also fun. I've got steel gongs. They may not be as exciting as paint cans or watermelon but they do make a satisfying sound and movement when hit. Tannerite is a blast (pun- sorry) but would attract attention. I'm rural but not deep enough in the woods for tannerite to go unnoticed. What other fun targets are there? Anything else that's more exciting than putting holes in paper?

One of the comments was this: "Yep. I knew this was going to happen. They can't keep people out of the areas already posted how are they going to police all the new ones. All it's going to do is keep the law abiding people out." Sounds familiar for sure.

I'm not loyal to the local shops or to any online retailer. I wish everyone the best but I'm not looking for a friend. I just want to buy a gun. That doesn't mean that I don't have a couple of local shops I like and will visit first. It just means that they don't have any right to my business if I can get a better deal somewhere else - even if it's online. That said, I'll pay an extra $20 for a gun if you have it now. I don't want to spend half a day driving around waiting in line to look at guns. I want THAT one - wrap it up - let's go. Online Cheaper? I've bought 2 guns online. Both were because they were older, unusual guns I wouldn't find otherwise. I'm not opposed to buying online but I've never found a real deal - at least not on new. Prices are lower but when you add in the $35 shipping and $35 transfer fee, I might as well buy local.

There is no state discharge ordinance. If your town doesn't have one, there isn't one. I don't know what your neighbor situation is but down here in rural south jersey, I'm shooting in my back yard most weekends when the weather's not too frigid or too hot (It's been a few weeks). I hear shooting in all direction when everyone's getting ready for the various hunting seasons. Hopefully, you've found a similar secret garden of freedom in this state.

Depends very much on where you live.

Poor Man's (or Lonely Man's) Clay Pigeon Release I have no idea what a clay delay is but I've done this: Tie on a piece of cord to make your pull cord about 6 ' long. Drive a stake into the ground 4' behind your trap. Tie the pull cord to the stake so the cord is taught and 5 or 6" above the ground. Step on the string to release the clay pigeon.

This article is right on target. There is no point in arguing facts with those who's opinions are completely emotional. We will never sway those who are against us toward our side and we need to stop putting any effort toward doing that. It's a waste of energy better spent on other things.

Right now, I don't know nearly enough details to decide if the Trooper acted appropriately or not - but Avi is right. Unless someone is in jeopardy of losing their life or seriously bodily harm, there is no justification for shooting at anyone. Failing to obey a lawful order of a police officer is not a capital offense and even if it was, the courts must be involved in the process.

If it turns out the Trooper shot at the three kids without his life being i danger, I'm gonna riot! I need a new TV.

Hottest day I ever experienced was probably summer of 93. It was 101º that day, no clouds, full sun. I was working on a roof top air conditioning unit on a hotel. Flat black roof. My IR thermometer said the roof surface was 160º. I was up there for a couple of hours. I couldn't see what I was doing because of the sweat running into my eyes. I finally got the unit working. The temperature inside the hotel had reached about 85º. I packed up my things and went to get a signature from the receptionist who said "I'm glad you got it fixed, it's really hot in here."
