It would mightily piss off a few hundred thousand NJ snowbirds who winter in Florida. And they would apply tremendous political pressure on the state to set things right. It might also have an interesting impact on the drug trade that relies so heavily on I-95.

I'll just leave this here: Epstein meme Christmas lights

Ummm we do grains here dude. jus sayen. Leave that Canadian crap out of this! If 223, I think the units you are looking for are thousandths of an inch...

That would be fun. Kind of like a Paint-and-Sip, for guys.

I really hate to see the government get involved in mandating how people choose to manage their health, and I really hate to see the government intrude on religious freedom. But I'll make exceptions when the topic is vaccination. Because the anti-vaxers are, and I'm putting this as charitably as I can, morons. Yes, there are legitimate medical reasons why some people can't be vaccinated, and those reasons must be respected. But the recent surge in resistance to vaccination in the west is largely driven by misinformed fools who think that being Playmate of the Year in 1993 somehow makes Jenny McCarthy a credible source of medical advice. Sure, she was only parroting Andrew Wakefield, who before his medical license was pulled, proved to be even more addled than the playmate. Thanks to vaccination programs, smallpox is EXTINCT in the wild. No one has caught the disease since the late 70's. Thanks to vaccination programs, two of the three strains of polio are EXTINCT in the wild. The third strain was on track to become extinct in the early years of the 21st century, when a number of local Mullahs started spreading rumors that the polio vaccine was a plot by the west to kill Muslims. The disease came roaring back in north Africa, Pakistan, and Afghanistan, and only now is beginning to trend downwards again. A similar problem is seen with the even-more-frightening ebola virus. Two effective ebola vaccines emerged this year, but aid workers in Africa have been repeatedly attacked, limiting use of the ebola vaccine in the very hotspots that need it most. Worldwide, measles killed 2.6 million people as recently as 1980. Aggressive vaccination programs in the US dropped the number of annual cases here from half a million a year before the vaccine was developed to ZERO in 2014, when measles were declared eradicated in the US. That's damned impressive, and it's disheartening to see the disease coming back due to the tireless efforts of the measles preservationists. There are plenty of species that deserve to be protected from extinction. Measles isn't one of them.

Like New Yorkers?

There is at least one exemption, for competition. It needs to be an approved match (not sure who approves them) and you need to bring with you a copy of the match bulletin, and possibly proof of entry. Under those circumstances, and assuming the gear is NY legal, you can bring a handgun into the state (but not into NYC) for the match.

So next you want to consider accessorizing with a biometric handgun safe. Transitions the gun from locked-away to in-your-hand in seconds. Biometric safe review

The accurate but not-so-useful answer is, it depends. Serious IPSC and Steel Challenge shooters use full-on race holsters, not at all concealable, but very configurable and fast. Those aren't legal for IDPA, which requires concealment, though not a high degree of concealment. Blade-Tech, Comp-Tac, and others make Kydex holsters that are competitive in IDPA. They're also a lot cheaper than a race holster, and IDPA legal holsters are also legal for the other events (not the old West SASS type events, but otherwise...) So I'd start there, it gives you the most flexibility while you try different events and decide if you want to later upgrade to more specialized gear. There are some on the forum who are much more active in these events than I am, so expect more advice to come rolling in.

A holster lets you play all of the great gun games...IPSC, IDPA, Steel Challenge, etc. etc. Pick one, give it a try, you'll probably love it.

I believe the expression is 'all hat and no cattle', but my ranch days were in Idaho. We'll see what the Texan has to say.

I was trying to come up with a counter example...wasn't aware of the Kel-Tec...

Kudos to West Milford! Though the declaration does stop short of saying they won't prosecute or will otherwise ignore recent changes to state law.

I was surprised at first that it's only 10 round capacity, even for the free states, but I guess that's due to difficulties in getting a double stack mag to work with rimmed cartridges.

We're shooting or stockpiling all the lead. Supply and demand.

Rain water is actually quite good, IF your collection and storage apparatus is clean and sanitized (I know, rarely the case), and if you don't collect until 30 minutes or so into a given rainstorm, which gives time for most of the particulates and microbes in the local atmosphere to be washed out.

Never seen one of those. I’d expect a lot of pushback in NJ. I’ve seen a bunch where the target is a life size turkey head molded from plaster. Bust the head (50 yds for pistol) and win a frozen turkey. The Pardini free pistol worked really well for that

I ALWAYS select ANJRPC as the smile charity on Amazon 1) it’s a worthy cause 2) it forces antigun Amazon to send money to a gun rights organization Win-Win

A basic potato gun design scaled up to use a 4”* polyethylene pipe should work fine *6” for fat cats. :-)

Because its 1mm better than 9mm! Mine goes to 11! (ok, .45 is 11.43 mm) Spinal Tap This goes to 11

He's dressed like a smurf and has eluded capture for several hours while riding an adult tricycle. So clearly he has ninja skills.

Probably a good call...

You'll be guaranteed a peaceful meal if you sit down for Thanksgiving dinner two weeks from today.

Uh oh... CMJeepster posted this 8 hours ago, and then vanished! No subsequent postings whatsoever. Don’t be surprised if someone claiming to be CMJeepster takes over the account and resumes posting as if nothing happened. That’s all part of the cover-up. Perhaps the mods can confirm if the new posts originate from an IP address in Chappaqua. ;-)
