The mistake you are making, and many do this, is you are applying logic to a political situation. Sent from my SCH-I800 using Tapatalk 2

This Weekend - Storm of the Century?
Getting a bunch of other drivers to gang up and dump as much as possible on their driveway is bullying. Sent from my SCH-I800 using Tapatalk 2

This Weekend - Storm of the Century?
Have you tried to figure out why they are angry? Is it because you plow up their property instead of the road? Since when has it been a good idea to feed the bully?

excellent op-ed in today's Star Ledger
Last year I ran an NRA Basic Pistol class for a few guys at work. One of them has been shooting for over 30 years and was happy to declare that he learned a thing or two. None of us know it all. Sometimes it takes another pair of eyes to draw your attention to something you didn't even know you were doing suboptimally. e.g. Have you ever tried to proof read your own document?

ACTION ALERT: 2/6/2014 New Jersey Assembly Law & Public Safety Committee
My letter... Dear members of the Law and Public Safety Committee, When you consider bill A823 please answer these questions: Do you think that causing “serious bodily injury” to someone who is not a “law enforcement officer” to be less of a crime? Do you think that someone who attacks you, a member of the Assembly, is due a lower penalty than someone who attacks someone who just happens to work in law enforcement? Do you think I that someone who attacks me, a member of the general population, is due a lower penalty than someone who attacks someone who just happens to work in law enforcement? Do you think a firearm that has been “defaced” has greater potency or causes causes a greater injury? Do you think it would be a good idea to leave the term “defaced” undefined? I sincerely hope you honestly answer all of these questions with “no”. This should prompt you to ask yourselves these questions: When are the members of the Assembly going to start respecting ordinary citizens? Why do you feel the need to waste tax payers money and your own time discussing a law that treats causing “serious bodily injury to a law enforcement officer” a special crime with a special penalty? Why do you feel the need to waste tax payers money and your own time discussing a law that treats causing “serious bodily injury” with any specific weapon a special crime with a special penalty? If you feel the existing penalty for causing “serious bodily injury” to anyone is insufficient why not address that for everyone? Yours...

Here comes the snow (yet) again...
It does help if you use engine braking by downshifting as it slows all 4 wheels whereas using your regular brakes puts nearly all the bias on the front. When you lock up the fronts you lose steering too. Sent from my SCH-I800 using Tapatalk 2

two handed "thumbs forward" grip question
I don't know about you but I can feel the difference between the slide completing a full cycle and when it stops at the rear. Perhaps, if you have always held the slide stop down you never gave yourself a chance to discern the different feeling. I shoot competitively and there is definitely a speed advantage to doing a slide lock reload and hitting the slide stop compared to having to rack the slide manually. I understand some folks prefer the single option in their manual of arms and will always manually rack the slide - that's fine but they always lose a fraction of a second in a competition. There are also the folks who have no interest in speed.

Would you trade CCW for a full AWB?
I would give up the morally bankrupt legislature. If someone stole your car, what would you be willing to give them to have your car back? Sent from my SCH-I800 using Tapatalk 2

Should I say anything?
I was working a sanctioned IDPA match and we had a Master class shooter come to the line. The stage was a simple support hand only stage where the shooter started with gun in hand at low ready, safety off, and finger outside the trigger guard. This shooter (not the first and not the last) put his finger inside the trigger guard and I called "Finger!". He pulled his finger out very quickly but then called "My finger is off the trigger". I was not going to argue. I told him "It was on there when I called it". The lesson - even the supposed top-class shooters get it wrong and will argue that they didn't. If you do speak to your brother (and I think you should - just to make him aware and to start him looking for it himself) let him know that he should expect them to deny it if he calls them out.

Would you trade CCW for a full AWB?
Here's an attempt at a reasoned answer - please remember this is almost midnight on Superbowl Sunday. In England they wanted to take the semi-auto rifles in 1988. The pistol, shotgun and bolt-action folks said "meh". They took the semi-auto rifles. (The "event" that triggered this was the Hungerford shooting where Michael Ryan killed most of his victims with pistols - go figure) In England they wanted to take the pistols in 1998. The shotgun, bolt-action rifle and muzzle loading folks said "meh". They took the pistols. (The event was Thomas Hamilton killed 15 school children in Dunblane with pistols he had obtained without a valid licence - the people who sold the guns were never prosecuted) In England in 2005 they wanted to stop fox hunting. Deer and vermin hunters said "meh". They banned fox hunting. Please, please, please learn from our mistakes. The anti crowd will use divide and conquer to split us from like minded folks. Don't let them. I don't hunt. I don't shoot skeet. I have no interest at all in muzzle loading. I've done bullseye to death and I want more action in my shooting these days. I will defend all the things I don't want to do personally because I have been burned too many times already by indifference. The anti's attitude is typically "I don't understand why anyone would want to do this awful thing. It should be banned." They need to learn that it is none of their business. If they don't have any interest they should butt out and leave it to those who do. They take their ignorance and turn it into oppression. It is time we all stood together and made it plain that no means no.

Ummm. Let me think about that for a moment.... No! Give them an inch and they'll take a mile.

thinking about reloading
I have been reloading for a while (started 20 years ago). I have a low cost setup of a Lee classic turret and a disk and dies for each calibre I reload. For pistol rounds, not including tumbling time which I don't have to be there for, it takes about an hour to knock out 200 rounds. When you start out you will go somewhat slower until you become practiced and familiar. Sent from my SCH-I800 using Tapatalk 2

NJ2AS CARRY LICENSE APPLICATION SUBMISSION PROJECT (CLASP)
Mr.Stu replied to ogfarmer's topic in NJ2AS - New Jersey Second Amendment Society's Discussion ForumI think the way it works is that when the bad guy pointed a gun at him he had justifieable need. However, instead of filling in a couple of forms, getting fingerprinted, waiting 30 days for his PD Chief to decide he actually had a justifiable need and then waiting a further 30 days for a superior court judge to agree and doing a qualification, the poor fellow lost his life. If he had survived but the bad guy was no longer threatening him the justifiable need would no longer exist and he would be denied a permit. If a similar event were to occur again he would have to start again with the form filling. As he did in fact lose his life justifiable need died with him as there is no urgent necessity to defend a dead man. I just don't see why anyone can't see the sense in this.

Experience with 15 round mags for ARs
http://www.thermoldmagazines.com/2ar-15-mlcb/ I bought these ones with the doubler - they can easily be separated and it works out cheaper than buying singles.

I have 15 rounders from Thermold. They are native 15 - no mods needed. Thermold got a bad reputation after the Canadian military bought the licence and made their own using the wrong plastic. Buy genuine Thermold with confidence.

Do we have to "declare" if we're pulled over?
I would not think transporting firearms in the required NJ way could be considered "armed". Unloaded and in a place you can't easily get to does not make you armed. Would you think having your firearms locked in your safe at home while you are there constitutes being armed?
