A4179 and A4180 - (requiring FIDs to use ranges?)
I see what you did there. :-)

Automobile Emergency Bag (Contents)
That's a pretty good list--way more comprehensive than what I've given the kids for their cars. One addition I'd suggest is some hands-on experience. When my kids got their licenses, I had each one actually change a tire, and jump start a car. I talked them through it, but they had to do it with their own hands.

Target stocks, screw adjustable for LOP--must they be pinned?
OK, so consider a target stock for an AR, with adjustment screws for length of pull and comb height. The two examples I'm familiar with are: http://tacstar.com/home/ar15stock.php and http://www.opticsplanet.com/magpul-ar15-precision-rifle-sniper-stock.html Neither is quickly adjustable, both have a screw that lets the length of the stock be tuned by about 1" to optimize length of pull. Are these likely to fall under the 'telescoping stock' prohibition, and so be required to be pinned? Bonus points if anyone has either of these and can tell me if they like it (or can recommend a target stock they like better). Thanks.

Snow blower delivery?
That's Boonton Power Equipment, on Myrtle Ave. I've only been in to get mower parts, but I've been happy with the transactions I've had Never needed anything for my snowblower; it's a 14 year old Craftsman 24" two stage that has seen a LOT of use. it still operates flawlessly.

Utah CCW
I've no idea what Utah law allows, but I'd be tempted to just send in a renewal check. If the state worker who processes them has any leeway at all, they may find it easier to renew than to return the check with a letter explaining why.

What Gun Would Be Easiest To Use By A Female With Zero Training For Self Defense
I am looking for a <?> that would be usable by a small adult female... The person has absolutely no experience with <?> and will not be getting any experience. <?> = Car, helicopter, table saw, wing suit, SCUBA gear, laser scalpel... Funny thing, if you substitute in any potentially dangerous item for 'gun' in the original request, it's still a spectacularly bad idea. Either drop the 'will not be getting any experience' idea, or drop the 'get a gun' idea.

Post-Election Ammo Plan
Reloading certainly gives one more options, but six hours after the polls open may be a bit late to start thinking about a post-election ammo plan.

Enjoy a movie and lively conversation w Loretta Wienburg
Thanks, Mosin, for posting what happened If you had decided, after all that activity outside, that you still wanted to go inside to the screening, do you think you would have been allowed in? Or did the cops leave you with a 'don't even think about it' feeling?

whatcha all cooking for football?
Not for football, but I smoked 10 lbs of chicken yesterday. Brined overnight, drumsticks then spent two hours in a commercial jerk rub, thighs spent the same amount of time in a homemade chicken rub. All smoked for 4 hours in a Weber Smoky Mountain Cooker (charcoal), using a mix of apple and pecan wood for smoke. Avg temp around 225, sprayed chicken with apple juice at the start and again at two hours when I opened the smoker to turn the pieces. I finished by transferring the pieces to a hot grill for about 6 minutes, turning frequently to crisp the skin. Served with homemade skillet cornbread. The crowd went wild.

Florida trip soon - unsure of some things
I recommend printing out a copy of the airline and TSA guidelines and bringing it along. Occasionally you'll encounter an airline or TSA rep who doesn't know the regs, but is so sure they do they'll refuse to discuss it with you. Having something to show them helps. Points of confusion often include whether or not the hard-shell case can be a hard-shell gun box inside a soft-sided suitcase (it can, but I've heard it argued that the outer suitcase must also be hard-sided), and when to use TSA locks vs. non-TSA locks. The inner box is supposed to be locked with a non-TSA lock, but I've taken to traveling with one of each to avoid a missed flight while arguing over the lock language. Ammo doesn't necessarily have to be in factory packaging, the guidelines for most airlines typically add an 'or equivalent' clause, so plastic ammo boxes are fine for transporting reloads. A ziplock bag, not so much.

Applying for a Utah CCW
Good catch. I meant to say UT and FL. I'll correct my original post.

Applying for a Utah CCW
You usedacould, as Jeff Foxworthy would say. No more. Their former AG eliminated reciprocity with FLA and UT. Did everyone see the photo of her leaving her sentencing hearing in handcuffs? It warmed my heart.

Shooters in Little Egg Harbor
I usually let it slide if I'm asked for an FPID, without further elaboration. But if they tell me state law requires it before they can show me a gun, I wonder what else they are ignorant of or willing to lie about.

Want an AR but might be moving - buy non threaded "compliant" models or one modded by FFL?
I know delayed gratification kinda sucks, but if I knew I was moving to a free state in a year, I'd strongly consider putting off buying something neutered here, and instead start saving for post-move purchases. Build up your war chest. Think about how wonderful it will feel to go into a gun store after you move and say 'I'll take one of these and one of those and one of those and...' without having to give a moment's thought to a bunch of idiotic legal intricacies in NJ.

You'd think. Reckon they're advocating for disarming Israel, too, or just the US?

Any Cigar smokers here?
Ok, it was a staff study, but not an official agency position. There was a fair bit of data cited, they did what statistics they could with the sample sizes they had, and I'd characterize the overall results as not too alarming Thanks for posting the links.

A-10s gonna be around awhile.....
Gotta love a plane that was designed around a gun.

Any Cigar smokers here?
Do you have a reference for that? I can't imagine the FDA declaring any tobacco product as 'fine', regardless of the quantity. The FDA's draft guidance on cigar labeling reads: • WARNING: This product contains nicotine. Nicotine is an addictive chemical. • WARNING: Cigar smoking can cause cancers of the mouth and throat, even if you do not inhale. • WARNING: Cigar smoking can cause lung cancer and heart disease. • WARNING: Cigars are not a safe alternative to cigarettes. • WARNING: Tobacco smoke increases the risk of lung cancer and heart disease, even in nonsmokers. • WARNING: Cigar use while pregnant can harm you and your baby. Or SURGEON GENERAL WARNING: Tobacco Use Increases the Risk of Infertility, Stillbirth and Low Birth Weight (Lower risk than cigarettes, yes, and I've no idea how the risk compares to all the time I spend on an indoor range...)

Bob Hoover passed away yesterday
Please excuse the off topic post, but aviation legend Bob Hoover passed away yesterday. Widely regarded as perhaps the finest all-around pilot of all time ( you can google his career as a test pilot and later career as an aerobatic performer). He flew fighters in WWII and Korea. After being shot down off the coast of Italy, he spent 16 months in a German POW camp. He escaped (on his third try), eluded capture for three days, then STOLE a Luftwaffe Focke-Wulf 190 fighter and flew himself and another POW to freedom in the Netherlands. Damn. There was a reason they called these guys the Greatest Generation.

I'm reminded of the dyslexic agnostic, who would lie awake at night wondering if there really was a dog.

Science jokes----
Three mathematicians are sitting in a duck blind, when a pintail flies by, presenting a challenging crossing shot. The calculus professor swings through, over leads it, and shoots 5' in front of the duck. The actuary fires next, but shoots 5' behind the duck. The statistician jumps up and yells 'we got it!'

Atypical EOM Competition
I believe Tenafly is running a Bianchi cup match on the 30th. It isn't on their website, but you can email the contact there for confirmation.
