I never look for trouble and in 43 years, it's never found me.

Observations from the South
That's one benefit of traveling out of NJ with a UTAH permit. I am more comfortable visiting places I might not go otherwise.

Age a child may participate in shooting sports in NJ
Daughter first shot a pellet gun at 4 - with Dad helping her hold it. She shot her first .22 at 5. She was a very calm, attentive kid who I knew could listen to rules and follow them. My Son was a different personality. Good kid but didn't have the attention span my daughter had. He was 6 before he was ready to shoot with Dad helping. He's almost 8 and Dad still helps hold the pellet gun. Daughter's now 14, amazingly responsible, and takes the 10/22 or Buckmark into the back yard to shoot targets, cans, or steel gongs on her own (within sight of Dad)

Observations from the South
We did almost the same trip last summer. Took a slow week and a half to Memphis and back. Had a great time and saw 11 states. Slept in 4. Even crossed into MS where I bought a box of .45lc at a Walmart, AR for dinner at Cracker Barrel and MO just to say we had been there. Lots to see and lots to do. Visited Dixie Gun Works, the worlds biggest supplier of antique gun parts. The showroom looks much bigger in the brochure. I don't know who else was carrying but I was the whole time. Annoyed my wife twice. Once when I couldn't take the 7 year old into the bar on Beal St. to use the rest room (TN says no guns in bars) and once when had to turn back to the car at a McD in KS that had a "no guns" sign. Otherwise, an uneventful trip, carry-wise. We typically did the tourist thing every morning until mid afternoon and then back to the hotel so the rest of the family could watch cartoons, relax, or swim in the hotel pool. I usually went looking for gun shops in the afternoon. I tried to buy a shotgun at a pawn shop in Memphis and was turned away. The owner wasn't sure of NJ's laws but knew they were bad so he opted not to sell me anything instead of getting himself in trouble.

Looking for Range in Bridgeton/Millville Area
I shoot in my back yard, on my parent's farm, and on farms and properties owned by friends. I am very fortunate that I can shoot whenever and whatever I want by just walking out my back door. I have been to a range once in my life and I have no real need to join a range. I've introduce a lot of people to shooting in my life by taking them shooting and many of those people, who were once on the fence about guns, are now gun owners. Taking a friend shooting is an effective way to grow the number pro-gun NJ'ians. But I feel the need to do more in this area. I live in an area filled with hunters and shooters so guns aren't as big a deal down here as they are in most of our state but I still work with a few people who would tend to vote anti-gun. I'd like to invite them shooting and introduce them to the sport. Most of these are acquaintances, not close friends. I live far enough from where I work that an invite to my place to shoot is not practical and I think shooting at an official range might make people more comfortable than just an invite to my back yard. So, I'm looking for a nice range, open during the work day, in the Millville / Bridgeton Area. I'm familiar with Cumberland but I believe they have a waiting list. Any other ranges around here?

Citizenship
As much as we all bitch about how much our rights are violated; we really do live in the country with the greatest system put in place to protect the rights of the individual. It's easy to forget how fortunate we are. A Dominican guy I work with just passed his citizenship test about a month ago and his pride and excitement reminded me of how great we really do have it here. His pride and excitement stirred the same pride and excitement in the rest of us, as we all shook his hand. Congratulations, Damjan. And thanks for reminding us how lucky we are to live here.

Cal 10 day wait gone
What is a "Federal Eastern District of California Senior Judge". I thought the hierarchy was state supreme court then to 9th circuit court. Is there an intermediate federal court? I'm just trying to figure out where this ruling came from and where CA will appeal too.

Cleaning rust from an 870 barrel
Electrolysis will work inside the barrel too. Use a piece of 1/4" steel rod as your anode and put it inside the barrel. Any sort of plastic spacer to keep the rod from touching the sides of the barrel will work.

Current state or right to Carry in DC
Yeah, I realize that once I stop in DC, FOPA's no longer going to cover me. And in 28 years of driving, I've never once given anyone reason to want to search my car so I'm really not all that worried about my 4 or 5 hours of exposure. I was just curious how DC police were handling unlawful possession during the stay of the judge's order.

Current state or right to Carry in DC
I'm heading to DC next weekend. I would normally leave my gun in my hotel room in VA except that my room won't be ready until the afternoon and I'll be in DC all morning. For the first morning, I plan to leave my gun locked up, separate from ammo, hidden in the trunk of my car and should be fine. I realize there's been a 90 day stay of the order that made carry in DC legal but I haven't seen a retraction of the police chief's memo to officers not to arrest for possession. I'm wondering what DC officers have been told to do during this 90 day stay, arrest or don't arrest?

.380 or .45LC/.410 depending on where I am.- GPS Tracking devices
I've used this one extensively: http://www.brickhousesecurity.com/product/trackport+gps+tracker.do?sortby=bestSellers&from=fn It plugs into the ODBII port under the dash so installation is super simple and takes 5 seconds. As soon as it's plugged in, it starts sending updates every 10 seconds. you need to purchase a monthly subscription plan but you can monitor current location, speed, idle times and locations, see a track of travel over the time period of your choice, and you and you can set up alerts by email or text message for different types of events. For example, you can draw a geofence on the map and tell the software to text you anytime the vehicle crosses the boundry or to text you if the vehicle enters another geofence, or text you if the vehicle leaves a different geofence. It will also text you if the speed is over your setpoint or if the vehicle idles in one place beyond the time you set.- Current NJ Firearm Licensees
N.J.S.A 2C:39-11 a. Any pawnbroker who sells, offers to sell or to lend or to give away any weapon, destructive device or explosive is guilty of a crime of the third degree. b. Any person who loans money, the security for which is any handgun, rifle or shotgun is guilty of a disorderly persons offense.- NY legal AR-15's have done a 180degree turn
How do you load an AR from the top?- NRA life membership $495
I am sure the NRA knows exactly what it's doing. With 5 million people who have purchased different types of memberships, they have enough data to analyze. You got an offer for a discount life membership because your buying habits indicate that you're more likely to purchase the lifetime membership at a discount. Others who purchase differently, have been members for different amounts of time, and renew with different patterns get different offers. And I'm sure it's all adjusted for net present value. They know that a $500 lifetime membership now is worth 10 years of regular memberships in today's dollars and they know that you're more likely to do one than the other. I appreciate what the NRA does for gun owners but I know they're a huge, corporate, money making machine.- Are You Leaving NJ in the Next 5 Years?
Who said better? I'll go with different. And I acknowledge that we live in a society where anyone can try to get things changed and they aren't wrong for doing it. I'm just not happy about the changes happening in my area. So, I'll be going somewhere and looking for the lifestyle I had 20 years ago that is slowly going away here. And my experience here has convinced me that I don't want to be a problem to my new neighbors so I'm not going to try to change them to fit the way it was in NJ. I'll assimilate to the best of my ability. And every state does have a few NJ residents but some states have higher NJ expatriate populations than others. http://www.forbes.com/special-report/2011/migration.html- Are You Leaving NJ in the Next 5 Years?
Exactly why I am not going where NJ residents always go. PA, DE, FL, AZ, NV, NC, and SC. I live on the line between Cumberland and Salem County. This is the rural, farming part of the state. The lifestyle and attitudes here are more like rural Nebraska than the rest of NJ. But, we have a handful of northern urbanites who have moved into our area over the last 20 years because they wanted to be out in the country. But they don't really want the country experience, they want all the conveniences and regulations they had in the city. They call the state police to complain if a farmer's irrigation sprays a roadway as the irrigation guns rotate. They complain to the DEP if a farmer spreads manure and they don't like the smell. They call the county to complain if a property owner doesn't mow the side of the road along a field of corn. They show up at town counsel meetings demanding street lights, curbside garbage pickup, or a police department. I am not moving to a state where the rest of NJ is showing up and bringing NJ ideas with them.- Are You Leaving NJ in the Next 5 Years?
The exit tax is just the normal tax on capital gains if you sell a home for more than you paid. But...want NJ does differently is makes you pay this at the time of sale if you're moving out of state instead of just paying it when you file your income taxes in April. Many people would buy a home in Florida and declare that the primary residence before selling the NJ home. Then, since they were a resident of FL (or any other state), they didn't have to file income taxes in NJ and NJ didn't get "their fair share". Well, they found a way to get "their fair share".- Question about a private sale
Never. This ↑ is the correct information. Legal if purchased when you or your friend were ever a resident of another state, not legal if found in a basement. No paperwork goes to the state so any transfer is between the two of you. Now you and your friend need to work this out however you are comfortable.- Another Victim of Senseless NJ Laws
Yeah, we did. Going into deliberations, I was one of three that was on the fence, everyone else said "guilty" as soon as we sat down to deliberate. But as we went through the evidence, and discussed each of our concerns including some of the things that didn't' seem to fit well, some of the screw ups by the investigators (nothing as complicated as a murder investigation could ever be done without a few mistakes made), And a particularly bad expert witness that was key to the case, I became convinced as did the others. We ended up returning a verdict of guilty and I'm confident we did the right thing. - Caliber of Your Home Self Defense Handgun
