Ar500 steel targets
We shoot steel hanging from shepards hooks all the time. Minimum distance ten yards, but usually shoot it a bit further away. Sometimes you get hit with small pieces, but never ever anything serious. I was about twenty five feet behind a shooter at a USPSA match and got hit in the shin, scratched me slightly, bled for a few seconds. It happens, thats why you never take off the eye protection. The shepards hooks let the steel move when hit, so it helps deflect and particles and if the steel is not pitted, it normally does not come back towards the shooter.

anyone suggest good bbq in NYC?
Blue Smoke is good, I ate there last month and enjoyed it. Dinosaurs is always good, have eaten at the harlem one a few times, always hit the one in Syracuse when I am up there. I also like Daisy Mays.

Use science not scrubbing
I use the arm and hammer washing soda too. Does a great job when i clean old cast iron pans. A day or two hooked up to the battery charger and they come out looking great.

Help me diffuse this anti's statistics
I read that almost 70 percent of gun deaths are caused by someone making under 25k a year. Why not incarcerate everyone that makes under 25k a year?

Pointless?
An EMP will not destroy everything electronic. The problem with an EMP is that it is a pulse, or wave of elctromagnetic power. Small items will mostly be uneffected, unless they happen to be plugged in at the time of the pulse. The reason the power grid is so succeptible to damage is because it is essentially a giant antenna that will absorb the pulse. Since all parts of the antenna do not absorb the pulse at the same exact time or even at the same rate it will cause large voltage differences across the "antenna" and that is where your damage to microeloctronic circuits become realized. Even a simple faraday cage will work to protect against a pulse, as long as nothing conductive inside is in contact with the outer metallic shell, which acts as an antenna and passes the pulse around the items inside the box.

MSNBC tonight-"50 Years of Guns" show
The show was horrible. Was it even about guns? Seemed more about rev al trying to look like the smartest guy in the room and smiling for the camera a lot. Not sure exactly what point they were trying to make.

Dumbest NJ gun law
The permit process. The 30 day waiting period. Not being able to carry. Not being allowed to stop for gas on the way home from the range.

Official NJGF Bug Out Bag Thread
Shouldn't a bug out bag have shoulder straps so you dont have to carry it with your hands? Backpack?

Waiting on permits...do you "buy" in advance or wait for the permit in hand?
I have purchased before the permits came in. But I was very sure they would be approved as there is no reason I know of as to why they would not be approved. The way guns are selling lately I dont think a gun store is going to have an issue getting rid of it if your permits never get approved.

+1 for Bullseye Tactical Supply in Woodbridge,
Great building (looks like an old bank) and a great selection too. Chris and John were a pleasure to work with and the price was very good too. I will be shopping there again. In about 30 days when I can use my next P2P. Thanks.
