The bills have to be reconciled, but to say this isn’t in the bill is incorrect. It is in the only bill that passed so far.

Took 3 seconds to look up the bill. “A qualified individual must: (1) be eligible to possess, transport, or receive a firearm under federal law; (2) carry a valid photo identification document; and (3) carry a valid concealed carry permit issued by any state or be eligible to carry a concealed firearm in his or her state of residence.” Pay attention to item 3.

This state is beyond repair. The courts are our way to success locally, but that will take much time and money.

B.S. Pass nothing if we don't get something for it. I'm done giving in.

I was doing that on the Morons demand action Facebook page until they banned me. I posted the receipt in their name. Good times.

Still a negative move for the “rights” pendulum.

So 23% of college age women suffer a sexual assault but we want to disarm them. Disgusting!

I use a LOT of electricity. My bill averages $340 a month. We also cook a lot and the stove is electric. Next one will be propane. Side note, Our hybrid water heater did reduce my bill about $25 a month.

Every damn day. Running into Pinelands issues with installing solar. I have a fight ahead of me for that, but yes I want a 13kW system. This one. https://www.ecomfort.com/Fujitsu-9RLS3HY/p79842.html

My electric bill didn’t change in any noticeable way. The furnace also uses electric for the blower. What did change dramatically was my oil bill, even over last winter which was very mild I used a fraction of the oil. Since for an experiment I only put one head in on the second floor I had two fans circulating the heat from upstairs to downstairs. They added to my electric use but not in any way I could definitely quantify just by looking at my bill. My electric bill scares a lot of people but I have a LOT of automation going on here along with several computers that draw a lot. Also my wife’s electric car adds about $40 a month.

Mine is Fujitsu’s highest efficiency unit. If I went to the same size head but with a multi head unit I would lose about 15% of its peak efficiency. That now puts it below the efficiency of a ground sourced unit so my statement is in fact true across all currently available manufacturers. Since I got my Fujitsu, Mitsubishi has a new single head unit that is about 1% more efficient than mine but their multi head units are less efficient than the current Fujitsu multi head units. And no, I do not have Natural gas on my street. We petitioned for it for years and with them constantly moving the goal posts each time we met their requirements we gave up. I have an oil furnace as backup but this spring I am going to add another mini split and I doubt my furnace ever fires again.

The newest air to air mini splits are actually on par with ground sourced units on BTU per kWh down to about 15 degrees outdoor temp. I put a new one in last summer and even when it was 10 below this last winter it had no issues. The downside is that for that efficiency you’ll need one head unit per condenser. The multi head units aren’t capable of that kind of efficiency yet.

If you think that no one points out that ARs are no different than any other .223 or even any other semi auto then you haven’t been paying attention. The point is gun grabbers don’t care. They target whatever they think they can get rid of and then win or lose will turn their attention to the next firearm until they are all gone.

I'm going to try some Pork Belly ends in my smoker tomorrow. Want to make an appetizer for Valentine's dinner out of it. Anybody tried it before?

Wouldn't it be great if a requirement for voting on a law was a modicum of knowledge on the subject of the law? A boy can dream.

And again, that would only happen if 1) it passes, and 2) the wording ends up changed from what has passed the House.

Since there are no gun shows in NJ let’s talk about federal law. Federal law does not require a background check between private sellers, no matter the venue. Dealers are ALWAYS required to run a background check.

Yep, I just as hoping for a fair shake, but this was anything but. I can only hope though that reciprocity really is going to get a vote in the senate before the midterms. The more this gets on the national stage the more likely that is to occur.

If we ever get carry in NJ this will be something my wife might get. She has MS and her finger grip strength is severely depleted. Given enough time she can rack many firearms, but in an emergency who has time? If the spring is soft enough on this one it might be a winner for her. That said the grip safety is hideous.

Hey, I comment on there! Lol

I did two last year. The online status was worthless. Took about 4 months to get my checks.

No.

You asked about other options. Whether you see it or not, it is an option.

They could just let the Democrats filibuster and ride it out.

If you want to be pedantic you should probably learn to spell it first. Sorry, I couldn’t let that irony slide.
