Thanks. I've added it to the top post of the tracking thread.

Moved to the top post of this thread: https://www.njgunforums.com/forum/index.php?/topic/105615-list-of-nj-businesses-posting-no-guns-signs/ I'm trying to keep all of the gun-free zones listed in a single thread.

LensCrafters doesn't show a location there. Might it be East Hanover Township? There is one on route 10. @Wcordes ?

I'll add it, but can you clarify 'EHT'?

Thanks for calling this out. I'm tracking all gun-free businesses (other than those already prohibited by statute) in the top post of this thread: https://www.njgunforums.com/forum/index.php?/topic/105615-list-of-nj-businesses-posting-no-guns-signs/ Best to keep all of these postings in that thread, and I'll move them all to the top post there for easy access. I've listed this there, though I suppose it's arguable if America's Best is already covered by the prohibition against carrying in health care or diagnostic centers.

Another find in the concealed carry aisle in Walmart...their Wrangler leather belts are extremely heavy duty and stiff. More so than either my Safariland or 5.11 belts. Perhaps they won't hold up as well--it's too soon to tell with mine--but for $16 they're worth a look.

Good question. I wonder as well. My PD hadn’t contacted me as of 18 days before the deadline. That’s when I dropped off the new paperwork, so I’ll probably never know if they would have done a last-minute notification. I suspect not.

A number of years ago I was diving on the Texas Tower, a very cool wreck with a tragic history, about 70 miles off of the NJ shore. https://njmaritimemuseum.org/events/presentations/doomed-tower-texas-sea/ It's deep, so you quickly build up a decompression obligation, and I had just made it up to the 20 foot deco stop when I saw that a huge bait ball was in the water column with me...a huge spherical mass of baitfish, swirling hypnotically. They're very cool to watch. You can count on predators showing up, and first it was the bluefish, cutting into the bait ball which would just as quickly morph away from them. Also fun to watch. I was wondering if the local sharks would show up next, but instead we got a school of yellowfin tuna. I was watching the first of them zipping into the baitfish/bluefish frenzy when I was hit hard from behind...a glancing blow, but a solid one. The yellowfin that hit me had no interest in me, other than I was between it and dinner, and it was quicker to brush me aside than to go around me. It was a very cool encounter--really drove home the enormous power of those fish.

I cooked a double-header this week, starting with a sausage fatty and some wings on Thursday, and chicken drumsticks and thighs today. I'd not made a fatty before, but they're popular in BBQ circles. A pound of pork sausage is flattened into a square, stuffed with most anything (I used sharp cheddar, scallions, and green pepper) and rolled up in a bacon weave with a bit of rub and BBQ sauce. I used up some spicy plum sauce on mine. Since I had room left in the smoker, I also prepped a dozen wings with Kosmo Killer Bee rub, and tossed them in hot honey when they were done. The wings turned out great; the fatty was particularly good the next day, sliced into rounds to make biscuit sandwiches. I usually run the Weber Smokey Mountain smoker around 225-250 degrees F, for low-and-slow cooking, but I wanted to try a hot-and-fast cook today to see if was an easier way to get bite-through skin on the chicken. I'd heard the Webers top out at about 350F with all vents left fully open, so I trimmed, and dried some drumsticks and boneless thighs, rubbed with a spicy base rub and more Killer Bee for the top coat, and cooked them for about 90 minutes, starting in a foil pan with some butter, then coating with a mix of Blues Hog original BBQ sauce and Blues Hog Tennessee Red sauce. They went back on the smoker grate for 10 minutes to set the sauce. We were really happy with the results.

All those new voting applicants are gonna be mighty pissed-off to learn how long it takes to get an FID, then a P2P, then maybe an LTC. We need more pissed-off voters.

I did watch it. My wife had elected to watch The Golden Bachelor finale upstairs, so the evening's entertainment bar had already been set pretty low. And I had guns to clean, and a TV in the shop, so I had it on down there.

Over a kilo of fentanyl? WTF! 2-3 mg is a fatal dose, so a kilo could kill close to 500,000 people. A 20 year sentence doesn't seem like it's enough.

I appreciate the shout-out in the initial post, but I'm afraid I can't make it. I shoot in a police revolver league on Sunday mornings, and it would be at least 1:30 before I could make it to the shoot. Y'all have fun!

Newsom can only be doing it because he's been running as an undeclared presidential candidate for a dozen years, and figures this will give him an edge if Biden drops out/is forced out/croaks. Murphy must be home tonight thinking 'damn, why didn't I think of that?' DeSantis got free air time. And the rest of us got a circus sideshow of a debate between one candidate. It was kinda amusing seeing bar graph after bar graph put onscreen, comparing FLA vs CA in categories of taxes, homelessness, gas costs, unemployment, etc, with Newsom arguing that the giant bars representing CA's numbers were better than the itty-bitty bars representing Florida's numbers. He is one slick, slimy, lying bastard.

Rosalyn, if you feel the need to complete a set of 3.

I suspect there were plenty of civil suits, but Trump has always had a lot of lawyers on payroll. It would take very deep pockets to prevail.

Yeah, but set the clays on a rack and she can break them at 600 yards.

Happy Thanksgiving to Tex and the rest of the NJGF family! May you all have a wonderful holiday.
