I wasn't aware either--very glad to see him on the mend. Now what I really want to know is who paid off the deer for the attempted assassination. I have a hunch the money trail will lead back to Trenton...

Indeed. Good thing it wasn't hot enough that SW9racer brought a handheld fan, he'd have been cited for operating an unregistered airboat.

Weird. Autocorrect apparently changed 'gulls' to 'bells'.

With that loophole in place, see if you can get Verizon or ATT to put up a cell tower attached to your home. You can pull down a fair bit of rent from a cell tower on your property. Pissing off the HOA is a nice bonus.

There is a lawsuit pending to force NJ to allow indoor ranges to re-open. We're cautiously optimistic that by early July we will prevail. If you have a commercial range nearby that rents guns you are considering (they often have a list of their rentals available online), you may soon be able to try before you buy.

Good trade--thanks!

I've got 1000 CCI small rifle magnum primers, 1000 Winchester small rifle standard primers, and 500 Federal small rifle standard primers I'd trade straight across for Federal large pistol primers. Would meeting in Morris County work?

I posted my guide to the Glocks here a couple of years ago in a Glock Photo thread, but it might be helpful to repeat. The original text is below. ********************************** OK, somebody make this post a sticky. It will save everyone the time and effort of posting photos of their Glocks. Open this image: Glock 17 That's a photo of a Glock 17, a standard size Glock. The other standard size Glocks (G20, G21, G22, etc) look exactly like that. Now move closer to your screen. See how the gun looks bigger? That's a competition model (G34, G35, G41). They all look the same. Move a little closer to the screen. You are now looking at a long slide (G17L, G24, G40) There is no need to look at photos of the individual models; they're the same damn thing. Now, from your normal viewing position, move a little further from the screen. See how the image got smaller? You are now looking at a compact model (G19, G23...). Finally, move back just a little more. You're now looking at the subcompact models (G26, G27, G29, G30...) That's it. The entire Glock pistol model matrix, in one photo. Mods--you may now close this thread.

The bigger question is, why is it tailing you? And what other vehicles/aircraft-that you haven't yet spotted-are involved in the surveillance?

The powder isn't smokey, it's just very hot burning, so with some bullets it converts more of the bullet lube into smoke. With jacketed or plated bullets it won't be noticeable, with coated it depends on the bullet, with lead, you'll have to decide if it bothers you or not.

That'll work fine. With some coated bullets and all lead bullets Titegroup will give you loads that are a little smokey, and Titegroup will work best for loads on the light end of the spectrum, but you're in good shape to crank out 250 safe and accurate loads. And you'll still have nearly all of the Titegroup left when you're out of bullets--a little of that stuff goes a LONG ways. Watch out for double charges--fast powders like Titegroup and others occupy so little volume in the case, that an accidental double charge won't necessarily overflow the case, so it's possible to overlook if you aren't paying attention.

Go in with a couple of alternatives in mind. In times of short supply, they may not have your first choice, but will have something else that will work fine--it's just easiest if you already have some idea of what else would work for you (or if you bring the loading manual with you). A lot of gun shops don't carry reloading supplies at all, so I assume you're going to one that does.

Yeah, 'shiznizzle' is the sound they make when dropped into the hot crockpot.

I think your spider senses are good. I've gotten similar replies several times on Craigslist, and have marveled at how often people trying to buy some old $10 item from my basement have to get their 'assistant' involved in an unnecessarily complex financial transaction. Very often the check scams involve a cashiers check, which is always a red flag, but perhaps the check referenced here would end up being a cashiers check. List of common scams is here: Common Craigslist Scams

Unless you have family members without cell phones (an increasingly uncommon occurrence), just use cell phones at the parks. You're not going to be there in a SHTF scenario, and the phones are smaller, lighter, offer secure communication, and they can do a lot of other things. The tracker capability is particularly useful if you are trying to keep track of kids.

Indoor nonessential retail businesses can re-open at half-capacity on June 15. How would this not apply to indoor ranges? I don't think we're ever going to hear him call out indoor ranges, by name, as something allowed to re-open.

The bodies of two children were discovered buried on Chad Daybell's property yesterday. Chad is now in custody on a charge of concealing evidence, Lori remains in custody for child desertion and contempt of court. I'm not a lawyer, but I'm pretty sure new charges will be coming soon. For those keeping score, Chad was Lori's 5th husband, the kinda-leader of the Mormon splinter sect Lori was following. Chad's wife died mysteriously 14 days before Chad married Lori last year. An interesting tidbit was that Lori bought the wedding rings she and Chad now wear 17 days before Chad's wife died. Lori bought them using a credit card belonging to her 4th husband, who had recently been shot and killed by her brother, who died not long after.

If you plan to reload, you want brass, though the nickel plating doesn't really add anything. Otherwise, they'll all go 'bang' in a satisfying way when you pull the trigger, so for cheap practice ammo any should be fine. I don't think anything considered high-quality is loaded in steel or aluminum cases, but with a new gun you want to put a lot of rounds downrange, and could only practice with a smaller quantity of more expensive ammo if you plan to have it on hand for home defense.

So, the beloved Warner Brothers 'Looney Tunes' cartoons so many of us grew up with are being re-introduced on the HBO Max platform. The original shorts were produced from 1930 till 1969. HBO Max plans to produce another 200 or so, staying 'true to the originals', says the executive producer. With one change. There will be no guns. Yosemite Sam will be disarmed. I have no idea how that even works. Elmer Fudd will continue to chase Bugs Bunny, but with a scythe instead of a shotgun. TNT, dynamite, falling boulders, Acme rockets and bombs will all remain part of the new production. They were considered 'grandfathered in'. But no guns. Too violent. WTF! New Looney Tunes cartoons to keep bombs, rockets, blades...but no guns

Exactly this. What we're seeing here is the same thing we see from time to time with Kathy Griffin. Someone who once enjoyed being a minor celebrity, whose career then faded from view, now realizing their only hope to get their name back in the news is to make some outrageously stupid statement that the internet will repeat endlessly.

Dollar cost average ammo and component purchases. Buy a little when it's expensive, a lot when it's cheap. I wouldn't place a huge order now, but buy enough to get you started. Being local is especially good for small purchases, as the hazmat charges make small online purchases expensive

Unless you are planning to sell it as 'new in box', I'd fire it up this weekend and put a load on it. When I test mine, I just dump in a pint or so of gas, then run it till it's dry and store it empty (best to unplug the load before it runs dry). It's not really a backup unless you've proven that it works.

Hmmm...I do recall asking someone at a Riverdale plate match what powder they were using. FFg or FFFg?

I assume printing "I'm Unarmed!" on the shirts is optional in the carry states, since the color alone will convey that information?

They won't be barren. It's not active in the soil, and it breaks down quickly. It only kills plants that are up at the time of spraying--it has to hit a leaf in order to work. Plants that sprout after application won't be affected. It's used that way on a gazillion acres of no-till crops, where there is serious cash on the line for the farmers, and planting a couple of days after spraying is the norm.
