I had a bunch of ammo product notifications active in my MidwayUSA account. The other day I received four or five emails stating that a number of them were discontinued and would no longer be carried by MidwayUSA. Was surprised to see these two in particular since they are so popular. (The other discontinued notices were for variants of these two. E.g. an ammo can of 400, etc.). Brownells still shows the XM193 but of course it is out of stock.

Wow, there are approx 200 containers visible looking at it from the rear. Assuming approx 20 sets of those from stern to bow == 4000 containers. Imagine the headache if that ship listed more and tipped over in the canal.

Also, the earliest they will decide whether to hear the case will be Monday. It is also common for them to hold it over until the following week after week after week, .........before making a decision. For something that is so clear “Shall not be infringed”, the nuances of the legal process to get something decisively ruled in our favor is a sham, a rigged game, it is all theater. (Eg eg things like the use of lesser levels of legal scrutiny, reversing decisions to hear cases (NJ Supreme Court) by stating it was “improvidently granted”, etc.)

Have hope, but don't hold your breath. They had a perfect storm of gun cases to choose from last year and took none of them. That was seven years after they refused to hear the Drake case. Something that deeply disappointed me and my faith in the court. I do realize the composition of the court has changed since last year. However, I regard Scotus as having been pummeled into submission (eg Kavanaugh) and impotent when it come to taking decisive action on 2A.

I am a novice at clay shooting, and not a very good one at that, lol. But I will try to answer at least part of your post. If by “short shells” you are referring to, for example, Aquila Mini-Shells(1.5 inches in length I think), I doubt they will cycle properly in a semi-auto. They will cycle in a pump action especially with the use of the Opsol rubber adapter. I shot 20 mini-shell slugs thru my Mossberg 590 yesterday.

Welcome to the Forums. Recommend you introduce yourself in the Introductions area. I am not aware of any federal legislation impacting Others any more than semi-autos overall.

Check out “Fort Knox Pistol Boxes”. I own three of them. One of which is along side my bed. Built like a tank. Uses a non-electronic Simplex lock mechanism.

On a humorous and sarcastic note, it is well known how expensive Cheaper Than Dirt’s prices are. While perusing Ammoseek I came upon Alamo Ammo (presumably unrelated to the above mentioned Alamo range). Alamo Ammo says to CTD “Hold my beer”. CCI 22lr 40~60 cents per round, Hornady 357magnum FTX. $6.80 per round.

There is no limit on how much ammunition you can own. Brings to mind a movie, First rule of fight club is don’t talk about the fight club. When anyone asks me how much I keep on hand. My answer is always the same. I have an ample amount for my needs. With that said, in normal times, a thousand rounds of each caliber (double that for 22lr) might be a decent start. Great that you are getting back into shooting(per your introduction). However a terrible time with respect to ammo availability and price. There are also lots of ammo inventory videos on youtube. Recommend watching a number of them. They will inform your decision on how much you need or can afford. The frequency of your range trips and rounds shot per trip are a consideration.

Raining moderately heavily here in North Middletown along the Bayshore. I am just east of the rain-snow line. Supposed to get 3-5” of snow between 11:00 am and 4:00pm. Until then, am hoping it continues to rain hard and melt some of the existing snow. Update, LOL. I must have jinxed myself. It just started snowing five minutes after my above post. @#$&*

I converted my Honda generator to propane over the summer. Had only ran it in warm temps. Did not want any bad surprises if I need it this week. So, Tested it yesterday in the colder (20-25 f) temps. Started and ran fine.

My condolences for your loss.

I mostly use my iPad to view these forums. I have been meaning to post the same question. In recent few months I have experienced the same. Often when i click on a thread topic, after a delay either a popup or, more annoyingly, a full screen ad appears, and I have to either close it or hit the Safari back arrow. I have been meaning to troubleshoot this further but have been tied up with work.

Brings back memories. The last valve adjustment I did was on my friend’s Chevy Vega in the early 1970s. Lol

Maks, very reassuring. Thank you for the write-up. regards, Art

My generator is ready to go. Recently converted it to propane and have plenty on hand. (Details of the conversation are in the generator thread.)

Funny, I have been saying the same thing! Got a Jeep Grand Cherokee in July 2019, and have been waiting to test it out in the snow, lol. I think I am in the 3-6 band. I used to have a 2005 Trailblazer 4x4 with a locking rear differential. Was fantastic in the snow. I assume the Jeep is just as, if not more capable. However, it’s highway tires may be a handicap.

From a personal perspective, the answer depends on how old you are. In my case, I will be 68 next year. So while I remain hopeful, I am not optimistic that I will ever be able to CC in NJ. My runway of life grows ever shorter. Drake, and recently Rogers, were bitter disappointments. Even if and when Justifiable Need is overturned, NJ will likely drag their feet and institute unreasonable qualification requirements. Then these would have to be challenged for yet more years through the courts. Hope I am wrong. This topic brings to mind the glorious ONE DAY in my life three years ago when I spent the day concealed carrying in PA. Shortly after , PA stopped recognizing all non-resident permits (including Texas in my case.). In sharp contrast to NJ, my recent renewals of my Utah and Texas carry permits were routine and fast. Both informed me 3-6 months in advance of the upcoming need to renew. Amazing.

Similar here. In fact, the panic of 2012-2014 coincided with my new found preparedness mindset that stemmed from Hurricane Sandy. That new mindset is what got me back “all in” into 2A and firearms. So over these years have acquired an “adequate” amount of ammo for my needs. Worth repeating something I once read. “The ammo you have on hand may be all you were ever have.” and factoring this into your inventory planning. As an aside, about a year ago I donated approx. 4K rounds of 22lr to CNJFO for their youth shoots. Still thrilled to have done that regardless of the current price.

My wife took our mini-van for inspection at Eatontown on Tuesday. Had expired the day before. There was no wait. I am not near my van at the moment, but I assume the new sticker is 2022.

This was also the policy(and I assume may still be) at Garden State Shooting Center when I was a member there. Even if you were a well known member, if you wanted to rent and shoot alone, you must have had one of your own firearms with you. I wasted a trip there as a result but respected their adherence to their policy and the reasons for it. On subsequent occasions when I only wanted to rent, I would bring one of my long guns with me (i.e. no risk of an unreasonable deviation while transporting). p.s. normally would need to provide your DL, not FID, when shooting.

Rlsmedia.com has an article on this. (Am unable to copy/paste the exact link.). Man was there with two friends to target shoot. He fired “a few rounds” downrange, then turned the gun on himself in an apparent suicide attempt. Per police , not believed to be an accident or horse play.

OP, I have been meaning to look into firearms insurance. Currently dont have any other than what NRA provides. To obtain the coverage, what info do they require? E.g. do you have to provide a detailed list or.just specify the total amount of coverage you wamt.
