Ammo increase in price
Supporting your local FFL is a good thing. We want to keep them around. If local pricing is too high relative to online prices, everyone is free to make their own decision as to where they want to spend their money, and the market will eventually adjust accordingly. But to re-iterate, Supporting your local FFL is a good thing. We want to keep them around.

Has anyone done a "RUN & GUN" (Centerfire Competition)?
Don't they run three gun matches right here in NJ? That seems to be what you're describing, though three gun is heavy on the shooting, kinda light on the running. Summer biathlon is also a thing; more running, but the only shooting is with a .22 rifle.

Kobe Bryant dead...
Actually, we’re all picturing you on the radio talking to the NY controllers and trying to get a clearance through the Bravo airspace. Its not pretty.

ANTIFA and NYC Finest...
They're such idiots... I'm not on NYC subways very often, but never once in my life have I been in that portal to hell thinking "damn, this would be so much better if there were fewer cops around."

Menendez jackass
Well, he's not the guy you'd expect to hold a news conference announcing new laws against sex tourism or influence peddling by elected officials.

The strange tale of Lori Vallow, the missing kids, and dead relatives
Anyone following this train wreck? It's been on my radar for months, as I grew up out that way, and I know there are fringe types there with some really odd ideas... It's only peripherally a prepper story, as Lori's 4th or 5th husband writes religious doomsday novels, and she is now of the opinion that she is a God, waiting to lead the chosen off the planet in June. Her kids have been missing for months, and after lying to police about their whereabouts, she and new husband disappeared last year, only recently turning up at a resort in Hawaii but refusing to talk about the missing kids. Along the way, her ex husband was shot by her brother, who then died, and new husband's ex wife died under mysterious circumstances just before he married Lori. Autopsies pending, and Lori has just a few hours left to comply with a court order show up in Rexburg, Idaho with her kids. But by all accounts, she hasn't left the resort. If you Google her name, you'll find a hundred stories, but the one below summarizes pretty well. The strange tale of Lori Vallow, the missing kids, and all of the dead relatives

Kobe Bryant dead...
Indeed. One of those parts is called the Jesus nut, which attaches the main rotor to the mast. The name arose because of the terrifying consequences of that single point of failure, failing.

Can't handle gun IN A GUN SHOP without showing FID card??
It’s not an illicit CCL. It’s legal. What is illicit are all of the denials to non-prohibited applicants. Let’s rail against those instead.

Can't handle gun IN A GUN SHOP without showing FID card??
If a shop tells me it's store policy that I show an FID card, I shrug and hand it over. Their store, their rules. If a shop tells me state law requires it, I leave, because I won't know what else they are lying to me about.

Kinda. My favorite description of a helicopter is that it is a 'swirling mass of metal fatigue surrounding an oil leak'.

Coins all over the place
I just spend coins as I get them. Since high school, I've probably averaged $1-$1.50 in change in my pocket. Not enough to be an annoyance, and if you use it for purchases, it never builds up beyond that. Which doesn't help the OP with his question, unfortunately.

Two Arrested, Two Guns Recovered In Gun Controlled NJ
I never understood the whole shaming threat. If Phil Murphy decided to shame any aspect of my public or private life, I'd only take it as a sure sign that I was doing something right.

Police: Man accidentally shoots, critically injures himself in Hackensack
Was it a 1911? I didn't see that in the link. If so, the grip safety should have provided another (apparently insufficient) line of defense against an accident like this. If a plastic fantastic striker fired pistol, the trigger safety should have done the same. But having N safeties won't protect you if you make N+1 mistakes...

VCDL Lobby Day - 01/20/20 Richmond VA
Here's a bit from a satire site, that does a pretty good job of capturing what seems to be Governor blackface's thinking. A militia assembling to protect their rights from a tyrannical government is unprecedented in American history

Is it worth saving $50 to buy new from private seller?
Depending on the gun, dealers on this forum may also be able to meet or beat $50 off of retail new. You can use the price request feature to ask. Otherwise, I wouldn't rule out the private transaction, especially if the new warranty would apply. Was the warranty card with the gun, or has it already been sent in by the original buyer? If the latter, how much time is left, and is it a transferrable warranty?

youth competitive shooting
SCFGPA (.org) has an amazing junior rifle program. They've put shooters on the national team. Also a fairly impressive junior pistol program, though the range is closed for renovation for the next few months. And it's not all that close to you. There is more info on the NJ junior pistol program here, including a link at the top of the page to junior pistol programs at two other clubs. NJ junior pistol program Perhaps there is also something out there at the state level for junior rifle shooters.
