About a year ago I had two permits. I used one early and wrote the expiration date of the other on the calendar. Near that date I went shopping and found something I liked. I had written the date down wrong and the permit had expired so I went home empty handed. Thank goodness NJ has the permit system in place, I'm sure everyone was safer that I couldn't buy that gun.

"Normal" seems to be around $20 per share. 400% growth in 5 years sounds pretty spectacular to me. I was watching Ruger for the last couple of years but was scared to buy. I've bought rising stocks before and found out why you're not supposed to buy high and sell low. I might consider Ruger but it will have to drop some more. The trick is to figure out what Obama is going to go after next that will cause a buying panic and get in now before Tuesday's election.

Down here? I'd get a "so what? - so does everybody else."

Of course it will. At least we can get it re adopted with our official protests and valid legal arguments and the NJAG's unconstitutional responses as part of the legal record. Who knows, maybe forcing NJ to make it's legal position "official" might help in court someday if we can point to that and show unconstitutionality.

Posted a little while ago at the NJ2AS website: The law requiring "Justifiable Need" to qualify for a carry permit is about to expire in NJ. In fact, all codes concerning firearms are about to expire in NJ. "In accordance with N.J.S.A. 52:14B-5.1b, Chapter 54, Firearms and Weapons, expires on November 13, 2014. See: 43 N.J.R. 1203(a)." There are two parts to NJ's laws: The legislature passes "statutes" and the various departments of the government write "codes". For some reason, codes that were never passed by the legislature are still treated as laws. These codes expire every 7 years and need to be re-adopted. It's one of these codes that defines "justifiable need" and makes it impossible for us to get permits. This code expires Nov 13th. The NJSP is required to post a notice that they will be re-adopting this code in the NJ Register at least 30 days before the expiration. I've searched the last several issues of the NJ Register and I can't find it. There is typically a 30 day comment period. I want to comment. I think thousands of us should comment before this is adopted - if for no other reason than to have it enshrined in the NJ Register that thousands of people commented against re-adoption. But I can't find the notice. Somebody here understands this better than I do and can point the rest of us to the notice or let us know how we file our comments.

School board elections often get votes in alphabetical order. Nobody typically knows who's on the local school board or who's running. Many people just skip that category and vote only for president, senators, mayors, etc. But those who do vote often vote for the first guy listed in a particular party. It could be possible to win primaries in districts with politicians who are not a household name. We need to run candidates with last names starting with A. Primaries also get so few votes that two dozen votes can swing a district. If we can get an extra 100 people out to vote for a particular candidate, that may be all that's needed. With careful analysis of prior year's voting turnout, I think it's viable.

There was talk of running some pro gun candidates as democrats over a year ago. Nothing ever came of it. It would have to be done in secret so maybe it's in the works and I'm just not privy to the information. But yes, I think it's a great idea. Sleeper cells of constitution loving democrats in the state house ready to spring into action.

I've bought a couple of bricks of the thunderbolt over the last year out of desperation. They lead up barrels and won't shoot straight. I spent several days fooling around with a new scope, inspecting and cleaning my rifle's bore, and all sorts of other stuff to try to figure out why I was shooting 5" groups at 50 yds. Stopped shooting the Thunderbolt and everything went back to normal.

It's more than the FUDDs and I know lots and lots of FUDDs. I also know lots of gun owners who do not hunt or own a shotgun who are casual gun owners that aren't especially concerned about "just one more little" gun law.

As long as they keep passing small anti-gun laws, I see no end because everybody only cares about laws that affect them directly. I don't own a black rifle so I'm not getting involved if there's an assault weapon ban. My shotgun only holds 5 shells so the 10 round mag limit won/t affect me. I only buy my ammo at the local gun shop so a ban on internet purchases isn't my problem. I only shoot at my range on Saturdays so making it illegal to transport my handgun to a friends farm doesn't hurt me. I never bought a gun from a private seller so making private sales illegal is fine with me. etc. etc. etc. until it's all gone one little law at a time. Once, we got 500 or so gun owners to show up in Trenton- seems like a lot until you realize there are almost 1 million gun owners in NJ.

Every passer by is shooting in their back yards too. Everybody here shoots and hunts. I hear gunshots from several directions every nice weekend. Now that hunting season's here, there will be armed men and women in orange and camo walking along the road near every patch of woods. Nobody here thinks twice about a guy with a gun shooting in his back yard. But I'm off topic again....I really want to see targets!

And bridges look like they should fall down and sky scrapers look like they should blow over. Fortunately the math says otherwise. But, I didn't want a disagreement over maximum possible range of a handgun, I'm hoping to see other target setups - hopefully some safer than mine.

This is for handgun and .22 only. The biggest handgun I shoot is .45 colt. It's got a bullet drop of more than 113 feet (not inches) before I reach the edge of the property. If I lobbed one up in the air, I'd only get about 1/4 the distance to those barns. From photo 2, you can see that I'm shooting well below the horizon - even if I had a magic anti-gravity bullet that would shoot perfectly flat forever.

I've always just hacked something together to shoot at when I felt like shooting. A scrap piece of plywood leaning on a couple of cinder blocks, a paper target stapled to a 2x4 post driven into the dirt, or a target taped to an old 5 gallon bucket worked fine. I bought a decent target .22 handgun for my 14 year old daughter to shoot several months ago and finally built a real target to shoot at. I'm interested in new ideas to improve my little back yard range and wondered what others here have built for themselves. Here's mine. The plywood slides into the frame from the top and can be replaced once it's shot-out. I'm using 1/4" luan but it will take up to 3/4" ply. The gongs are 8", 6", and 4". The spinner is an old one I built years ago that I could stomp into the ground re-purposed. Now let's see yours.

My S4 did not have a flashlight app from the factory. But it doesn't have to be a flashlight app. I'm sure whoever is building these popular flashlight apps is also building other apps that do the same things.

Just checked the permissions for my flashlight app: flashlight app had access to gps location, camera, microphone, wireless network, could read and write SD card, could search for network connections.

I've got the same coexist sticker on my truck. Guy at work has the "other" style. I try to park next to him whenever I can.

Shot onoe only once. Recoil was less than I had expected but still considerable. I was mostly impressed by the cartoonishly largeness of the gun itself. I couldn't reach the safety with my thumb and had to use the other hand. It was a fun gun to shoot. Difficult to ccw - a little bulky and my pants would fall down.

What happens if someone shows up with a firearm and rejects the cash offer? Will they be allowed to leave or will they be arrested for tranporting out of the exemptions if they try to leave and drive their gun back home?

Between the wife an I we just drove all around Cumberland County (Millville, Bridgeton, Vineland) and into the edge of Salem. Nothing.

Did you catch the part where he will get a "misdemeanor charge of fourth-degree criminal possession of a weapon" if he fails to comply with the 100 hours community service. So, in NY bringing a gun to school is a misdemeanor. In NJ is's a manditory 3-1/2 to 10.

The little bit of dirt that is deposited on the inside of your ducts is not a problem. I'm the facilities manager for a pretty big organization. I oversee several million dollars in construction, renovations, and routine repairs to buildings every year. The only time we've had ducts cleaned is the few occasions when we've had somethign go wrong and ended up with an outbrake of mold somewhere. Over the last several years, we've also happend to have done a lot of air quality testing in various areas. Dirty ducts have never been the source of any problems we've had. As to carpet vs. hardwood. My personal preference is hardwood. Depending on how much the dog's peed, you might not have a choice. Discolored stains can be hard to remove. Either way, get two quotes and then make the decision based on references, not price. Sometimes the lowest priced guy does great work but sometimes you get what you pay for.

AZ: recognizes my non-resident permit PA: no concealed carry for me any more.

Atlantic's lawyers need to get involved.

By NJ Law, the lowest responsive bid wins. Responsive means that the company was able to respond with a product that matched the specifications in the bid. Fulop can ask all the questions he wants but all that matters is who came in with the lowest price for the items in the bid. It seems that Fulop was just putting on a show for the anti's.
