New air soft regs for ny and ca
any violation of law to wrap my guns with orange tape while at the range? shoot at fort dix, have seen quite a few leos who have a clue. might make a leo think twice about this bs. sorry, but hesitation because of color might cost a life, and makes no sense whatsoever - unless you are a legislator who has no clue.

Need advise - weight loss medication
+1 I've been losing weight successfully for the first time ever. there is a free app called 'my fitness pal' enter EVERYTHING that goes into your mouth. it tracks calories, and nutrition info, and has helped me start making better choices. i was never good at portions, but what you think is a healthy choice quite frequently is not. (unless you have training, for the most part we don't know how to eat properly anymore) real eye opener to see the 'healthy choice' is anything but. Also - do not go by the FDA food pyramid, or whatever it is called - the excessive eating of grains is what farmers use to fatten livestock. Good Luck - from a fellow fat guy who is finally working on losing it.

Just picked this up.
i use an angle grinder on mine - grind the top edge, and you will see it split when done. The top comes right off - about 3 minutes and no sharp edges. just saw carl g's video - yup, that's the way i do it, but the pads i use on my grinder take a bit longer.

Lower receiver ffl transfer fee.
Totally normal - strongly suggest dealing with a forum vendor. Steve from monmouth arms (remixer) has been worth the drive for me every time. Check his website or give him a call, he has lowers priced as low as anything i have seen online and is a great guy to deal with. good luck.

Citizenship
Congrats. - my wife has been putting off for years. doesn't see the value in having a vote, hopefully, now that she has gotten involved with firearms (anti 2 years ago -now nra member, purchased her second handgun from steve last week) she will see the value in it.

Rumson Gun sale
I have a 30 year old rusted out daisy bb gun. Due to its scary capacity, that should easily be worth $100. That, or we get an official on record that a bb gun is not a firearm... I won't be around this weekend, but more than happy to drop it off with someone who can go - as long as any proceeds go to NJ2AS or another worthy cause. and by 'drop it off' i of course mean fill out all required paperwork and transfer ownership.

AutoCheck vs Carfax / I'm Looking for a small used SUV!
We used AutoCheck for a brief period at work. Went back to carfax after getting several vehicles that showed clean on autocheck, but later found accidents reported on carfax. The carfax network for reporting seems a good deal more comprehensive. Good luck in your search.

22 caliber for wife
Dan, RTSP looks like the place to go, we will definitely take a ride up there. The handgun she tried was my XDm 9mm 4.5 - part of the reason i went with that was because it seemed 'low recoil', hoping my wife and son would get interested. sof, That sounds great. We will happily take you up on your offer. I think a more experienced person, especially another woman, would help her make the decision. Let me know when it would be good for you. thanks, joe

22 caliber for wife
My wife finally agreed to go to the range with me and my son, and had a great time. She was very comfortable with .22 rifles (and a great shot!) but did not like the recoil on my 9mm handgun. She decided she wants to get her own handgun, and applied for her FID and P2P. Her short list of handguns in .22 - M&P22, Mosquito, SR22 and a Sig P226. This is by looks alone - she hasn't tried any of them yet. She wants to rent each of these to see which is the best fit for her, which i think is a great idea. I have been tasked with finding them. I see from the ranges that have their rental inventories online that most are available - except the P226. I've only shot at range 14, and they don't have any rentals. Does anyone know of a place to rent that firearm (or all of them) in .22? I also want to make sure that whatever range we go to she feels safe and comfortable at. We don't mind driving to find it NJ or PA. thanks, joe

Required ID for ammo purchase
This was the Dick's in Brick. Had my FID out, and he said he needed DL too. Don't recall anywhere else ever asking for it, but they had 22, and I had a gift card - wasn't about to argue. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Great big +1 to Steve at Monmouth Arms
Purchased my first firearm last night from Steve. He was friendly, accommodating and took the extra time to go over the basics and answer beginner questions from a newbie.(I took a class back in May, hadn't touched a handgun since.) Highly recommend, and look forward to future business with him.

Hot dogs... What's your favorite?
Boar's Head natural casing for grilling - cant beat that crunch. Sabretts is the dirty water dog. Horseradish mustard and sauerkraut on a potato roll is the best, raw onions and a dill pickle works too.
