Sorry, I haven't gotten back to you guys since yesterday. Thanks for the tips all. I will be checking out your recommendations. Really appreciate it.

Good call. I've always liked the Kabar. Any good store front sellers for knifes in general?

Hey all, just wondering where you have found the best prices for fixed blade knives... Amazon has some decent prices for a few brands though they usually sell them from third-parties so I'm thinking there may be some stores with better pricing. Any ideas? If you need specifics, I'm still deciding on length and type of my next purchase so it could be anywhere between a 5in. to a 7in blade. I use a kukri for wood work while camping so I'd probably prefer something with serrations. I really like the Gerber Silver Trident in terms of quality (154C blade, well designed handle), length (6.18 in), and style (some room on the back for a thumb, in case you want to do some close work), but it is a bit pricey at $170 so I'd like to get something much less expensive. Under the $100 mark would be great. Thanks in advance.

I don't agree with it or like it at all, but If there is a clear written policy stating that there are no weapons in the workplace, you either follow that rule or you choose to work elsewhere. I support the actions of the clerk and i believe the company should change the policy, but written as is, they did have the right to fire him. If you had a business, you'd like to have it run in a fashion of your own choosing.

If you don't mind saying, what school are you at? The ones I see in Newark always seem to be lounging at intersections, especially close by the grade schools. I was actually going to make this same thread but always forget by the time I get onto my computer. Some good insight ITT though. Much appreciation to the knowledgeable responders and thread starter.

See? There's another one. Edit: Sorry for the double posting. Can't find a way to combine and delete without leaving an empty post

The Walking Dead. I just started watching during the last season and I have to say that it keeps you interested for every single episode. Even watching old ones where you already know the outcome keeps you on your toes a bit. Then it's thought-provoking in the sense that you question what you'd do in similar SHTF situations and how you'd treat/trust other survivors. Surprising that you didn't like GoT. Though I'd say the tone changes a bit after the first season, I'm not sure if you'd like the direction. I've heard great things about Homeland so I'll throw that in too.

Don't spend too much time thinking about what is allowed. Just air on the side of caution and keep you guns broken down at all times. Place the barrel in a safe in the boot and the firing pin locked in the glove compartment. Your mags should be in a Saran wrapped titanium-box in your buddy's trunk as he follows your car at a distance of no less than 250 ft. Seriously, though. Knowing that the laws will be interpreted in the most anti-2A fashion, just go with the strictest interpretation that you can reasonably glean from the statutes.
-
Nah, I'm also kind of interested. But I see drug-ravaged fiends every day and I'm not sure that I'd actually want to see them with skin literally peeling off.
-
I agree completely. People are always quick to say that drug users shouldn't receive public assistance but cigarette smokers and alcohol users should be in the same exact boat. Both have been proven to be detrimental to your health (each more so than marijuana in plenty of studies). The only case that can be made for alcohol are the studies which show a slight benefit to heart health when red wine is enjoyed sparingly. However, I seriously doubt many of us on this firearms site sip Pinot Noire to wind down after a day at the range.
-
I'm sure it has landed in NYC and maybe a couple of other cities already. They just haven't had a reported case or a hospital diagnoses yet. Before all the extra effects kick in, the heroin addicts are just thinking they got a good deal.
-
I agree with this in theory. However, for those of us who may want to become LEOs or pass the background check for other government positions or industries, having an arrest on the record may throw a wrench in things. You have to make sacrifices for things you believe in but in some cases you may be downright throwing away a life goal or at least making it much more unlikely.

So odd to see someone say that they are looking forward to NJ gun laws. I'm originally a New Yorker and plan to move back sometime after school but am definitely not looking forward to those restrictions. Just FYI, you can buy long gun ammo without an FID in Jersey, just not handgun ammo. I've heard of store employees asking for an FID before they even talk to you but in general, it shouldn't be a problem. If you guys are looking for apartments with quick commute to the city, the Newport area of Jersey City, is pretty nice. The path station there will get you to the City as quickly as possible. Not a ton to do there but the neighborhood is commuter friendly and all the essentials (grocery stores, chinese food, liquor/beer) are available. Welcome to Jersey.

That "at the discretion" bit bothers me to no end. With that language, they can pick and choose to force you through the background check again whenever you renew. That has to be especially unconstitutional (even more so than the rest of this) as it imposes an inherently discriminatory practice by statute.
-
Thanks. Very nice of you to sum everything up. Everything you wrote makes sense and I think the point about keeping a copy of my lease with me will help me feel a bit more comfortable. I can't afford to have anything on my record and it has remained crystal clear up till this point (not even a single motor vehicle violation) so I try to be cautious.
-
That's what I was thinking, but wanted to be sure. Just seems like something that isn't really protected by the laws I've read. They cover you when travelling to a location where you're allowed to legally possess but there just doesn't seem to be a definitive protection for multiple residences. Again, this is just going by the law that I've read over. Thank you for the response. Btw, I glance at your pics via that link and I have to say that you have taken some awesome shots. If you aren't a professional, you have fooled me sir

I try to be careful about the amount of info I put online but I suppose I'm being a little overly tight-lipped this time. Yeah, I still have a residence at my parent's home. So I do have two residences. Temporary in this case is a one year lease which will not likely be renewed thereafter. The new apartment is in a town in a different county.
-
So, I was wondering how it works if you move to another part of the state temporary and take out a lease though your permanent address (drivers license and all) stays the same. Basic situation of a student moving to an off-campus apartment in a town within NJ. Questions: Would you HAVE to change over your FID? Can you keep your firearms in the newly-leased apartment though it is not the address slated on FID? Is there some kind of paperwork which must be filed with the local police department? Sorry if this has been brought up before. I searched the forum but could not find anything similar. Thank you in advance for the help.
-
Thank you
-
What is the cost associated with these courses? I'm also not sure if they differ by location and time. Thanks
-
Probably true. I'm in my mid-20s, Black, and despite my best efforts to "look like I know what I'm doing", probably only achieve an "interested dabbler" kind of look (though I am a bit of a chameleon).
-
That's odd. I've been asked for my FID just to look at ammo there... I've actually been asked for an FID at most stores that I've been to, though. It's frustrating and I want to argue every time but I keep my mouth shut because quite frankly, I usually don't feel like fighting it out and receiving sub-par service.
-
Thank you all for the opinions, and the information. It is all quite helpful. Old Glock Guy - I'm sure I will be buy another one as soon as I can but I am a student so after ammo, and range costs, it may take a little longer to rack up some dough from my side jobs. But it's definitely a goal anyway. My friends think I'm crazy but who knows when they'll make it even harder to purchase. I refuse to sit and wait and be left with no protection of my own. I had to call 911 last night and after 3-4 attempts all I got was ringing with no answer. Good to know that others have the same model and have been quite satisfied over the long term.
-
Ha! Honestly, I stopped short of getting close enough to discern the exact model. All I could see was a mid-sized dark handgun (probably a glock). Took advantage of the fact that he was on a bike and his momentum was carrying him forward when he tried to cut me off so I just booked it in the other direction (apparently, I'm Usain Bolt). Darn...maybe I should have asked him what model it was. I've been dying to check out a Gen 4. Anyways, just highlights the fact that only law-abiding citizens are being disarmed in this state. The criminals get to issue their own permits.
