It could have been true. A PA FFL has the right to deny service to a NJ Resident based on the FFL not wanting the hassle or risk running afoul of NJ Laws. Many FFL throughout the entire Country are being overwhelmed with people new to this world and not having a clue what to do.

Fixed it for you.

I guess these are back on? I didn't make it before the shut down. I don't know if I can make it this coming Sunday (last of the month) the following in theory would be easier for me to make, but it's also the Holiday weekend.

I signed up for their club on Friday. Two 12oz random bags once per month, $24.99 all in. I'm the only coffee drinker in the house except for occasional guests, so I figured the two per month would be fine. Will save me money in the long run compared to buying every day. They sent the email by the end of Friday saying my order shipped. FedEx originally said it would be delivered Sunday. On Monday they sent notification it was delivered when it wasn't. After further investigation I discovered it was delivered to the local USPS. When UPS does that, their tracking info remains accurate, but I guess FedEx can't figure out how to do that. USPS delivered it today. Anyway, my two bags are "Liberty" and "AK Espresso", both labeled as a Medium Roast. They included one sticker and my wife got a kick out of the "Coffee or Die" slogan on the box. I plan to wait until my next home day to try them. Currently I brew the pot, pour into a Thermos and drink it when I get to work. No waiting around, I'm typically out the door in under an hour of getting out of bed. By the time I got to work and tried it I'd be SOL if I hated it.

If you are totally new to firearms I would highly suggest either a class or get with someone you trust. I did not grow up with guns in the family. When I got involved I had some co-workers that helped me immensely. Two were former Marines, and one was in his 50s at the time and had been around guns almost since he could walk. A couple of years ago I signed myself and wife up for a NRA Basic Pistol Class. I needed the piece of paper to get my Florida Carry Permit. My wife found it more interesting/beneficial than I did. I had previously covered 80-90% of it with her. Many places will require you to have a Basic class before you can take a more advanced one. Edit to add: Many people will say all you need is YouTube, remember the Internet is not a magical place, any bozo with a few bucks can look like an expert, it doesn't mean they are. If one person says something completely different than 20 others, it's safe to say stay away from that one.

Edited.... I read his reply too fast.

Welcome. Two weeks was fast before the current mess we're in, so consider yourself lucky in that regard. You say you got your FID, but did you get the P2P (permit to purchase a handgun) as well? If not, you can't buy a handgun yet. If at all possible (difficult now) try to fire any model gun you are interested in before buying. It's great that they feel good in your hand, but the shooting experience can sometimes vary. I cannot speak to a Glock, I am one of those people that do not like the grip angle of Glocks. I have a P365, which I like. Personally, I would suggest you get a full size gun first. The small guns you are looking at have higher recoil and short sights, which can hurt your accuracy when you are just starting out. What are your plans for this handgun? Since you have essentially zero chance of getting a carry permit in NJ, a small carry gun might not be the best choice, unless you plan to carry (legally) outside of NJ. For home defense, IMO, a full size (or close to full size based on your hand size and comfort) is the better option. I suggest (and practice) backing the handgun up with a rifle and/or shotgun. @Zeke should be here shortly telling you to buy a SIG <end thread>.

Great find! Should be fine to reload then, right?

I was thinking it could've been bullet crimp, but agreed it seemed low. Head stamp is F C - 9MM - LUGER

I've started cleaning brass and have come across a number of cases with these indentations on them. They go all the way around, the depths of the indentations vary as they go around. They also vary from case to case. So far about 4-5 out of the dozen or so I've pulled out of the tumbler have them. Running them through the de-priming/resizing die has little to no effect. At first I thought they were from the die, but then I realized they were like this coming out of the tumbler. I do not know which pistol they came from, or even if they came from one of mine for that matter. I had previously gathered some cases from an indoor range that I know were not mine; those were mixed in with mine. The head stamp does match mine, but that is not 100% conclusive. Thoughts on what could cause it? Is this a concern? Both from the aspect of if they are from my gun as well as should I reload them?

The chainsaw had to have had a crack in the case. It would seep bar oil out. I kept the saw in a Stihl case and the bottom would be full of bar oil. I replaced the oil tube and other parts in an attempt to get sufficient oil delivery. I babied that saw, it only ever saw Stihl branded pre-mixed fuel and Stihl branded bar oil. Removed the bar to clean it out after every use etc... Followed directions for starting etc... It was not my first two cycle power equipment. Even the dealer fought getting it started when I complained to him about it. Once it did start he said see, it runs. One of a few reasons I don't support that dealer anymore. The only time the Echo has not started on the 2nd pull was when I had a brain fart and tried to start it with the kill switch in the off position and flooded it. I've just had bad luck twice with Stihl so I switched brands. No different than someone preferring SIG or S&W or even Glock.

My Stihl trimmer & chainsaw were both in the "Farm" category, plenty of power, but royal PIA to start. The chainsaw leaked bar oil sitting around, but wouldn't send any oil to the bar where it was needed so I went through chains as fast as the fuel.

Didn't Wawa ban employees from wearing anything with MAGA on it?

I picked up an Echo PAS unit last spring, you can swap out the heads as needed. I have the string trimmer and a blade holder one. I can attach various style blades to it based on what I need it for. I've also picked up the chainsaw/pruner attachment, extension pole & blower for it. Was so happy with the easy & reliable starts last year and beginning of this year after it sat all Winter that I picked up an Echo chainsaw this spring. The Echos have not given me 1% of the trouble my Stihl equipment used to give me.

“Wawa believes Black lives matter, and we have posted signage sharing this message in our stores,” she said in written statement. “This week, we are also providing our associates with pins as a way to express their support for Black lives matter within uniform guidelines, if they choose to.” When an associate declines to wear the pin, they'll be labeled as a racist I'm sure. When will they hand out the Blue Lives Matter & MAGA pins? This is so disappointing. Source: https://www.nj.com/burlington/2020/06/wawa-revisits-uniform-policy-after-worker-told-he-cant-wear-black-lives-matter-mask.html There's other articles on the web that show the mask he was wearing also. It was not subtle.

I have not gotten to the measuring out part. I realized I need a funnel also, I think I have one from the kitchen I can acquire (it will not go back to the kitchen). I did read someplace plastic funnels are a pain due to static buildup. My current plan is to load a few dummy cartridges to make sure I have that process down before adding any powder. Then load batches of 10 at different loads for testing. Once I've decided on the load I think works I'll load another 50 for additional testing; if they pass then load whatever I have remaining and place a bulk order.

I recall some have asked about when CJ will allow new members to join. Here's the answer; cut and past from the website. https://cjrpc.org/default.aspx NEW MEMBERS New members are by reservation only!!

It's disappointing to hear Titegroup is smokey. My first choice was Universal, but I switched to Titegroup at the last minute.

250 coated bullets from NE, 1lb Hodgdon Tightgroup and 1000 CCI #500 Primers.

Filled out P2P around 4:30 this afternoon, I was told to expect the call to pick it up Thursday.

This shop does not carry any reloading supplies, the owner was helping me and I asked. He said it would cost him about $600 a year in additional licenses and he didn't think he'd sell nearly enough to justify the additional costs. I placed a small order of powder and primers from Midway over the weekend. If the combinations I've purchased work out I'll be placing a larger order.

My theory is if I clean it often the cleanings will be faster and I'll also catch something that doesn't look right sooner. That means I clean after nearly every use. If I only ran 50 or so rounds I might skip the cleaning that time. 200+ or a competition and it gets a cleaning. I run a bore snake that's been saturated with cleaner through the barrel a few times, then a few clean patches. Outside of the barrel, slide and frame/FCU get wiped down with patches and cleaner as much as possible without removing the FCU from the frame. Few drops of lube at the wear points and I call it a day. Magazines will get taken apart and cleaned only when they've been in the dirt from a competition. And I always field strip, clean & lube a new firearm before shooting it.

Not sure if this is what you're looking for but, for USPSA I have my pistol at 3 o'clock and three dual mag pouches running from roughly 7 o'clock to 10 o'clock. I've only used that set up for 2-3 matches now, but it seems to work for me.

USPSA today for me, can't say it any better than Bob did.
