We get that down her in the rural areas of Cumberland County too. People want to live out in the country but want us to change our ways so it's just like the city. Next thing we know, AR15's are illegal, you need permits to purchase handguns, there are 15 round magazine limits, and other urban blight. Wish we could form our own state.

The groundhog blaster was legal in NJ and several farmers in our area had them. Outlawed a few years ago. And they won't contaminate soil - it's propane gas that is combusted and turns into carbon dioxide and water vapor. Is the ground under your barbeque grill contaminated? It's a quick, and effective way to kill groundhogs.

We have lots of groundhogs here. It's a constant battle. Kill one and another moves in. I shoot them but I'm not in town. I've flooded them out before - had one in it's hole watching me through the water with just 1/2" of it's nose sticking above water. That one got away - he made a run for it and I was too slow. I tried the smoke bombs - threw the dynamite looking stick down the hole, filled in the entrance and went out to dinner. Came back with the dirt I had shoveled into the hole next to the hole with the smoke bomb stuck in the top of the mound like a victory flag. I've chased them up trees before and shot them there. I have not tried to trap any but I have baited them with tomatoes to bring them out in the open so I could shoot them. They were steeling them from my garden so I figured it would work - it did. My nephew likes to shoot them at long distances with his .223. He'll set up a mat, lay down prone with his tripod and spend the afternoon scanning the farm. He's made a bigger dent in the population than I have but there are always more.

I'm sure they're not selling right now. I wouldn't buy a gun that I can't get ammo with. Instead of $50 off, they'd sell more if they offered a "free brick of ammo" with each purchase.

Interest balancing or considering if something is a long standing tradition has no place where guaranteed rights are being considered. Slavery had a long standing tradition. It is in the government's best interest to limit any speech opposing it. According to the AG, both of the above should be acceptable.

It was a cake. To paraphrase: At first, somewhere around 1787 we had a cake. It was ours - all ours. Eventually somebody came along and said "I want part of your cake", we wanted to keep the whole cake but they insured us that we could keep most of it, they just wanted a little. "Be reasonable" and be "willing to compromise". they said so we agreed and let them have a little of the cake. This was around 1935 with the National Firearms Act. A few years later (1968) they wanted another chunk of our cake. "Be reasonable" they said. Giving up a little more was "common sense". So we agreed and we let them have a little more of our cake - after all it was just a little more. As time went on, they kept demanding a little more of our cake each time we tried to be reasonable and accept their common sense compromises. After all, it was always for the children. Now we stand with a plate of crumbs. We were reasonable and willing to compromise so many times that we have almost nothing left and they're still trying to take more of our cake. Imagine what our great grandfathers would think. They had no restrictions on what firearms they could own. My great uncle was the neighborhood dynamite man he helped farmers clear fields and dig holes. Automatic weapons were too expensive for most but if you had the money, you could certainly get one. Firearms didn't even have serial numbers that let you track them until 1968. The local hardware and autoparts stores sold all types of guns without any restrictions. Kids carried their guns on the subway to school because they had ROTC or rifle team practice after school. All we have let are crumbs of a right that shall not be infringed.

For a rifle to be an "assault weapon" in NJ it must be semi auto. Then it must have at least 2 of the following 5 "evil features" pistol grip flash supressor grenade launcher adjustable stock bayonet mount. since a Mosin is not semi-auto it can have all 5 features if you want.

Not to be a math geek but.....

I've tried this with two browsers. It won't take my vote and I can't see results. Is it down or is it just me?

3 more years and I'll be in America too.

For my mosin. unfortunately it needs to be removed to remove the bolt. Made from a piece of poplar routed to round all edges and with brass sleeve bushings used as standoffs. I painted it black later and like that look better.

I'm hoping we hear from many similar patriot-minded law abiding citizens in Trenton on the 13th. When our 10 round limit is heard. We need thousands to make plans to be there. I will be there.

link? I'm searching but can't find today's ruling?

I have been saying for years that there is some reason the government (or governments) are going after rifles instead of handguns. They say it's to stop violent crime but violent crime always involves handguns, never rifles. I'm sure I know why it's semi-auto rifles they want to remove from civilian hands. Because you can't fight a war with handguns and somebody is preparing for a war.

South Jersey - Cumberland County 2" in Bridgeton. Vineland and Millville have 3" Expecting a couple more before it's done but it better come hard, it's just flurries now.

I've drained fuel tanks on salvage vehicles by cutting the fuel line and using the fuel pump to pump the tank dry. If you've got a good battery, you can walk away and let the pump do the work but It takes forever (can be more than an hour). I have had to splice into splice into the pump wiring to keep the pump running. Besides, doing this in a snow storm or hurricane doesn't sound like fun. And if an emergency comes up that requires me to leave where I am, I don't want to have to put the family car back together (with an empty fuel tank) before we go. I want full fuel cans AND a full gas tank.

The proposed 10 round magazine limit is a weapon ban. It does not only apply to magazines - it also applies to firearms with fixed magazines. Grandpop's tube fed .22 is going to be illegal - no grandfathering - turn them in! The bill is scheduled to be heard in Trenton on Monday and the hearing is open to the public. If the weather doesn't shut down the state, I will be there.

I can't siphon out of my truck. I really don't see the fear of keeping gas in gas cans. Millions of gas cans are in storage right now in the US - probably hundreds of millions. How many news stories have you seen of a gas can bursting, exploding, or catching on fire.

I think SCOTUS needs to decide this once and for all but...just because 5 of the 9 justices were comfortable with people carrying their guns at home does not mean they're comfortable with everyone carrying in public. I know...the constitution guarantees it and the court has to follow the constitution...but they sometimes don't.

RECAP FROM LAST YEAR Last year it was easy.- Parking is right off of State Street. Enter the parking garage in front of the state house - the garage is under the statehouse. Tell the trooper at the gate that you're there for the committee hearing and he'll let you in. Follow signs and ask direction - security is at every turn and they are extremely helpful. They will get you to where you need to be. Prepare to be metal detected a few times. Last year we filled the hearing room with over 150 seats and filled a second overflow hearing room with as many seats and had a big crowd outside that could not get in. NJ2AS really pushed for attendance last year but isn't really doing much this year so I don't know what the crowds will look like. I got there 2 hours early last year to be sure I'd have a seat and had to sneak around the back of the room and set up my own row of folding chairs I found on a rolling cart in the hall or I would have been in the overflow room. I couldn't see a thing but I could hear everything. The speakers were great. Anyone can testify - they give you a card to fill out and they call your name and give you a limited amount of time to speak. Of course not everyone got a turn. Two dozen people showed up in favor of the bills last year and were brought into reserved seating in the front. The hundreds of us against the bills were told no reserved seating - get up to go to the bathroom and loose your seat. 3 or 4 communists spoke in favor of the bills and were given as much speaking time as they wanted with no rules. The 75 or more that spoke in opposition were given 3 minutes each and were not allowed to discuss anything except technicalities of the bills - don't mention the constitution - they don't like that. If you remind them who actually works for whom you can get yourself escorted out by the state police. Actually the troopers that were there for security (and there were a lot of them) were great - they were trying to find room for more seats and the conversation was friendly and casual for the two hours before things actually started and they were going out of their way to be good hosts. One civilian security guard told a bunch of us that he was glad we showed up and wished us good luck "blocking this b#!! sh!7". And then they they voted and ignored everything that we said.

I'd look for a lawyer how in interested in 30% of your settlement from the PD. I'd even offer him 2/3 to motivate him to get as much from them as he can. Then I'd use that money for an expungement.

I own two taurus guns. Both are perfectly fine and work every time I pull the trigger. I also ccw a .380 when I'm in America. I''m too fat in the middle for comfortable IWB and when I've carried OWB, I've always worried all day that I was showing too much. I pocket carry my .380 and there isn't a 9mm quite as small and comfortable. I carry a ruger lcp. similar to the TCP.

In all of world history, I have never heard of one time when the police or military refused orders to either (1) seize the property of the people (2) round the people into camps, or (2) fire on the people. I have no reason to believe we are any different. When it gets really bad it's always "us" against "them" and it's pretty easy for the government to convince it's military and police that they are part of "them" and we are the evil "us".

Could not have said it better. Civil Disobedience with the courts - this is exactly what's happening. If you read the federal circuit court's decision in the Piscatowski case (now Drake), It's obvious that the 2 judges that upheld "justifiable need" stumbled all over themselves trying to avoid that pesky constitution in their decision. The one dissenting judge even called them out for doing it in his dissent. SCOTUS may do the same thing by simply refusing to hear the case. Just because 5/4 of the court are in favor of people owning guns at home does not mean they are in favor of people carrying them around. Remember that these Justices are high ranking government officials who fear the people just like every other high ranking government official. I'm sure they get regular death threats and security briefings. They may feel safer living and working in DC where the public is disarmed. In Heller 4 out of 9 justices was willing to rule against that pesky constitution.

He was pro gun when it got him votes in his rural district filled with hunters. Now he wants votes from the communist part of NJ to be governor so he's switched his ideals. Truth is he never had any - he was playing us just like he's playing the gun grabbers now. Like most politicians, he is in it for himself.
