This makes me very angry but it's been going on for many years. If you ask a cop how hard it is to get someone locked up to do the time for their crime you'd be surprised. Can the woman from the home invasion sue the prosecutors office? Were they not negligent? Anyone have experience in that area?

That's pretty scary man. I wouldn't go back either, haha.

If teachers in Newton stood up and tackled the shooter would they be stupid for not letting the police handle it? Would you not give your own life for a child? Any child? When did our Country become so courage less. It would be an honor to die if it spared the life of a child. If you don't get that I'm sorry but in not the one in the wrong.

What do you think this Country was built on? The blood, sweat, and tears of Americans fighting for their neighbors! Maybe you need a history lesson here or maybe you didn't feel a need to serve your country like I have but its people like me that keep people like you safe everyday! I would gladly die if it meant that someone else's innocent life wasn't taken by the hand of a criminal. My family would mourn but my sons would know that their father was a man, an American, and a Patriot.

I'd follow someone in the rain at night if I thought there was reasonable suspicion that a crime was going to be committed. Maybe that makes me an exception but I'll tell you this... Cops don't stop crime. They respond after the fact in most cases. (Not all and I'm not bashing... I'm a former cop myself) Regular citizens stop crime everyday. If more people stood up for themselves and their neighbors criminals would think twice. That being said whether this "kid" was a "thug" or not doesn't change what happened. Yes, he was innocent in walking back to his Father's home but he decided to stop and turn around to go after GZ. He made that choice. He paid the price and so did George in my own opinion. When I lived on Ocean City I was smoking a cigarette on my back deck when I heard noise in a neighbors yard. It was some white guy trying to break in to his shed. Did I tuck my balls between my legs and retreat? Nope! I opened my door and told my wife to call the cops and then I confronted him. He had the balls to tell me to be quiet before running away. I wasn't armed but it still could have ended badly. Do you consider that a poor decision? Was I wrong for standing for my neighbors. If you think so maybe your part of the problem or maybe I thought Americans stood their ground but was wrong.

Civil suits can be filed in EITHER a State or Federal court. It depends if the suit alleges violation of a federal statute such as what some are talking about when it comes to TM's civil rights being violated. I highly doubt that the DOJ would prevail here and I doubt that they will bring a suit themselves. TM's patents could file themselves too but Mark O'Mara addressed that and stated he would seek and get an order of immunity from any and all civil liability suits.

I agree with this completely. Obama is bi-racial yet we say that he's the "first black President" yet George is bi-racial and he's just considered white. Race only becomes a factor when it's convenient for either side. This kid attacked George and was put down.

Perhaps you should delete this video that you posted from the other thread, "Listening to the Sanford PD"

Wow.. That's pretty expensive. I'd rather just grab a separate dedicated .22 for that prices. The more guns the merrier

I don't agree that its okay for them not knowing at the PD. I really don't expect all LEO's to know (or understand) all of the firearms laws of Jersey but the person who is doing the permits sure as hell should at least know the laws when it comes to areas of ... wait for it... PERMITS! If he doesn't know about the appeal process maybe he should 't be handling permits. I would never fly with a pilot if he didn't know everything about his occupation.

I think I heard that Beretta may have the 22 conversion kits in stock. Great way to learn without breaking the bank.

As far as the food stamps go; families should receive the help within the 30days. I'm not (and never have been) a welfare or food stamp recipient but my heart breaks when I see people that are hungry. Seeing kids that are hungry. Irregardless of what the parents do or don't do the kids in the situation shouldn't have to deal with stomach pains because they're hungry. I will gladly wait a few weeks to buy a new gun if the resources dictate that they feed the kids first. Here is my problem though... We don't like when people call us gun nuts or crazies or imply that we will go out and mass murder to protect our rights. Not all of us fit that mold just because a few do. So, why are we putting these food stamp recipients in the same boat and accusing them of being lazy or ignorant just because we heard a few stories. Waste and abuse happens everyday but its the exception. Not the rule. As far as the handicapped placards go; I don't look sick from the outside. I have all of my hair and stand 6'4 and weigh 224. My family "hops" right out of the car while I take a minute to build up the momentum to exit. I may look okay walking through the parking lot (albeit slower than most) but that's only because I don't like to show pain and I won't ever let people see me quit. I take all sorts of prescription drugs, get injections regularly and also receive infusion treatments. But, on the outside I look fine.... Just wanted to ass my thousand cents.... Apologies for the length.

I've owned four different Android based phone from different manufacturers. Personally, I will never buy an Android based phone again. I'm a very heavy smartphone user for both work and personal usage and I prefer the iPhone. When Android first came out I hopped it would be the elusive "iPhone Killer" but it never did. I never liked the iPhone until my Droid f**k'ed up my world with calls I couldn't answer because the screen's software wouldn't respond to the touch. Every Android phone since had been glitchy, days with endless forced closed apps, sluggish, sluggish again, and even more sluggish. The software is written for too many manufacturers and each phone has different specs and some components of the platform OS aren't tested to the new hardware so it's impossible to fix everything that's wrong because there are so many people making them. I've had nothing but problems with Android and nothing but happiness withy iPhone. Installing and deleting apps is by far the easiest to do. To delete an app tap and hold Te icon of the program you want gone and presto! It's gone. No more going into settings then applications then manage application then delete application then yes to warning then okay to it being deleted. For iPhone just a tap ON THE APP ICON until it wiggles. Then tap the "x" and it's off your phone b Everything about the iPhone is easier to use and is so much more stable. Sure, I hate a few things about Apple right now but when I hear the crap about Android phones it makes me fall on love with my iPhone all over again. As a matter of fact, I used my wife's old Samsung Galaxy S3 today for a game and I had to foreclose it repeatedly. Played the same game on my iPhone 5 and never misses a beat.

Although I served in the Marine Corps I will use the Coast Guard's motto here... Semper Paratus. It means "always ready" and it can mean life or death in an unforeseen situation. My house isn't large enough to have "12 guns" stashed in different places and I wouldn't really be comfortable with that given we have small kids but what happens if someone DOES kick in your door? It will be too late once it happens. I've never been in the situation myself but I've seen the aftermath first hand and it's scary. In my house my wife and I both have our own handguns in our nightstands (in safes) that will be for anything that happens inside. For outside, we have a 12 gauge with 00Buck as we have no neighbors. I seriously doubt anything would last more than a few magazines worth of ammo and if so.... they've probably been practicing just as much as I have.

I recently added a flag to my EGA. It's still fresh in the pic but healed over nicely.

Maybe it's just me but I'm tired of having to go out of my way to constantly allow civil servants to violate my rights. I've been on the LE side and I can say with certainty that there are a lot of good cops out there. BUT... there are some that feel the general public has to do whatever a LEO tells them too and if they don't like it charges get written up. Here's a tip for everyone out there.... If a cop can't hold his anger back when some wise ass kid talks back he shouldn't be a cop. Forget violating laws... What happened to violating the publics trust? If I stepped out of line like that my LT woulda had my ass.

I was on an accident scene where the license plate was between the dash and the front window. Wait... maybe I should say that the plate was inside her neck. Yup. That sounds about right. Also, while a baseline MP in the Marines (prior to going to a field unit) we were told to never pass on writing a ticket for the front plate being on the dash. They called it a safety non-negotiable.

Why do people limit themselves by believing in what they can't do versus believing in what they can do? And also, lets call it what it is.... Laziness. If you want something you have to work for it. If not, it could go to anyone else who has had the same exact problems but decided short term repercussions were worth the huge long term gains.

What if this scumbag had different intentions other than a robbery? It's always easier to look back and change the scenario but I would want my wife to fight back. I agree with having tightened physical security but a lot of people today are too soft... Stop just hitting "Arm" on the security system and know that you may, one day, have to fight for your life or that of your children. I would rather fight it out then HOPE that he isn't there for some twisted sick kicks. I hope this doesn't happen to us or anyone else ever again but things are changing. People are changing. The crime is spreading further and further away from the inner city... yet... all our lawmakers are concerned about is that "one guy" with "thousands of rounds of ammo". Just fight back... take back your life. It's better, IMO, to know that you did everything you could to save not only your life,but that of your offspring, in the event the intruder was out for rape, torture, and murder.

Wow... all of the respect people show each other around here sure makes a new member feel like he made the right decision.

I, too, would go for the 92FS Inox. I have an Italian made and it's a great gun. I may be partial to the design being former military but that's also the reason why I trust it so much. NEVER had a single problem with it and its a very comfortable handgun for me. I prefer the all silver look of the Italian made versus the black controls of the USA model.

1. Application type (FID/permit w/ existing FID). New FID and 2PPP 2. Police Department where you applied. Buena Borough Police Department 3. Name of the person you dealt with at the PD. Detective Capehart 4. Time taken to issue FID and/or permit. 4 1/2 months 5. Documents required by the PD (aside from the standard application and the mental health release form). Buena's own FID application in addition to the State's, Domestic Violence sheet, persons in residence sheet, additional mental health form, and additional reference forms 6. Notes - anything pertaining to the application process (unforeseen difficulties, chief of police calling your home, you hiring an attorney, etc.). My wife got her FID and 2 PPP in 31 days but that was with a former detective. A new detective took over once mine hit the two month mark and he said all of the forms through Jersey have been updated (not true as the forms were exactly the same) and reference letters needed to be completed AGAIN because the Department's letterhead wasn't on the previous ones. The Detective stated that it typically takes several months to process applications and that it's the norm for NJ. After he took over it still took 2 1/2 months for the approval and only after several phone calls, a letter to the Mayor, and numerous trips down there. The Detective seemed very apologetic but I don't know if it was because of me involving the mayor or if he was genuinely concerned.
