Looked like it was a good time, but I was up in Maine visiting my son this past weekend. No shooting, but good local beer and lobster.

The Conoco on Main Street in Boonton has a dedicated kerosene pump, set to the left of the building. I've no idea if they actually have kerosene (website doesn't say), but their number is (973) 794-4877

Ironic timing, putting hammers back on the 'OK to Carry!' list.

The Feds don’t see it that way. Form 4473 is a Federal form, and they don’t recognize State medical marijuana cards The form WAS reworded recently, to explicitly state that.

Yeah, this might be the only criminal San Francisco decides to prosecute this year. While I prefer that those guilt of insider trading suffer only financial penalties and perhaps some jail time, this might finally get the SF political class to realize their 'all crime is legal' approach is flawed.

The law makes no distinction between recreational and medicinal marijuana, for federally-regulated activities like buying a firearm, or having a pilot certificate or commercial drivers license.

The Red White and Q competition in Jackson this past weekend didn't go as well for me as I'd hoped; actually finished lower than last year, though I thought my entries were pretty tasty! I drove two hours to the site Friday night, just in time for the cook's meeting, followed by setting up camp and kitchen in the dark. Temps dropped to a chilly 34 degrees overnight; I think I"m getting too old to be sleeping on the ground on nights like that. My wife, ever the smarter half of the team, drove down early the next morning. Entries were down a little this year, and last year's Grand Champion didn't return to defend. I only entered for Saturday; it's too much work in my opinion to do it all again on Sunday, but most of the teams do exactly that! I had the meats ready and the smokers coming up to temperature in time to slip away for the traditional 9:22 am shot that team members gather to drink at competitions. Then it was heads-down work right up to the 2:30 turn in for chicken and 3:00 turn in for ribs. There were a few flaws in the chicken turn-in box, and I'd gone a little over the target temperature; finishing 16th out of 24 perhaps wasn't a surprise. The ribs were just where I wanted them for degree of doneness, I liked the flavor profile, and I had the prettiest turn-in box I've ever assembled. They finished 20th... So I've got some work to do... On the other hand, the team currently leading in the points chase for the KCBS National Championship was there, and finished 9th. So I wasn't the only one disappointed.

She’d make more mopping floors.

1911 or Glock? Bolt or Semi?

I predict he’ll try to bus them to border towns in Texas.

I’d think that the Bruen decision is sufficiently clear that we could get an injunction blocking enforcement of the bill blocking right to carry, should it become law. I think it would ultimately be overturned, but we need that injunction while the courts sort it out.

I don’t see it happening.

It passed out of committee by a 3-2 vote. Much closer than I would have expected. It was a single vote short of dying in committee. That’s kinda encouraging. I’d have expected a five person committee in the NJ Assembly to vote at least 12-0 in favor of anti-gun legislation.

The fix for that isn’t to allow felons to vote and own guns, it’s to properly classify certain bullshit transgressions like possession of hollow points as non-felonies I know, in NJ it’s ‘crimes/disorderly persons offenses’ but I prefer the language the rest of the country uses.

I emailed all of the state congresscritters; the email address lists in the ANJRPC link make it easy. Take a moment and do it! I sent the following: Vote NO on this unconstitutional bill that does nothing to address crime. The recent Supreme Court Bruen decision (please read it!) states: “The constitutional right to bear arms in public for self-defense is not ‘a second-class right, subject to an entirely different body of rules than the other Bill of Rights guarantees,’” “We know of no other constitutional right that an individual may exercise only after demonstrating to government officers some special need. That is not how the First Amendment works when it comes to unpopular speech or the free exercise of religion. …And it is not how the Second Amendment works when it comes to public carry for self-defense.” Every clause of A4769/S3214 is in clear violation of the Supreme Court ruling. I do not want my constitutional rights violated further, and I do not want my tax dollars wasted trying to defend this Ill-conceived bill which WILL be slapped down hard by the courts should it pass.

Fetterman looks a lot like the aliens from the movie Battleship.

How’s he doing?

The actual wording in the bill will matter…but right now I’d argue that my holster has a retention strap. It’s made by Safariland, and it retains my holster on my strong side.

KC17 is correct. Whether you want to make NJ aware of those legal firearms is another question entirely.

It’s fine, not much different than when it isn’t running. I switch hands every so often when I’m using it for long periods.

I’ve put a lot of hours over the years on a Husqvarna. I’ve been very happy with it. https://www.lowes.com/pd/Husqvarna-125B-28-cc-2-Cycle-170-MPH-Handheld-Gas-Leaf-Blower/1000730232

At the 49ers/Rams game last night, an animal rights activist carrying a pink smoke flare ran onto the field, eluding security but not linebacker Bobby Wagner and defensive end Takkarist McKinley https://www.sfgate.com/49ers/article/Protester-bloodied-by-Rams-Bobby-Wagner-17484862.php

Agreed. I like your solution for that. I mostly load rifle on a single stage press, so I can line up the cases in a loading block and check powder levels with a flashlight, but when I do use the progressive press I miss having the powder check capability.
