  1. They never re air Cam & Co later in the evening. Its gotta be on the internet. It was a good interview, he didn't really say anything we dont already know about our laws or the case. But its good he was on there so the rest of America watching at least has an understanding of how EFF'ed up our laws are. Sometimes I discuss our gun laws with other gun enthusiasts from different states across the country. When I start to explain whats not legal here their response is always, "WHAAAAAAAAT?" "That makes no sense." All I can respond back with is "yeah I know". Sent using Tapatalk 2 NOW FREE!!!
  2. Even with the one goal he allowed, Jonathan Quick is having an incredible game. What are the SOG stats so far for Price and Quick? Sent using Tapatalk 2 NOW FREE!!!

  5. Randolph PD has an outdoor range directly behind their building. So does Jefferson Twp at the end of their parking lot. I heard a rumor that Roxbury PD has an outdoor range near the old Hercules gun powder plant property and its open to town residents on certain days. But haven't confirmed that info yet. I've got a bow hunting buddy thats a Roxbury LEO I keep forgetting to ask him what the deal is with that. Sent using Tapatalk 2 NOW FREE!!!

  7. If you do buy a WASR go with the 10/63 Romanian made double stack of course. And make sure its built from 2008 to present day. The models before 08 are the ones riddled with issues and poor quality internals. I have one built after 08 everything inside the gun looks great and functions beautiful. I took three of them apart in the store before I picked the one I purchased. I know what I'm looking at, & for though. You may not have that knowledge yet. Do your research prior to purchase. I've had zero issue with the rifle thus far & put about 500 rounds through it. Ammo prices vary from different sources but very affordable when you compare to other "scary black rifles". I paid $650 for mine when I picked it up this past October from a local dealer. I wont even argue about the furniture quality because it sucks. I'm surprised I didn't get splinters from it lol. Iron Wood designs is in my WASR's future. Sent using Tapatalk 2 NOW FREE!!!
  8. ^^^^^Agreed... But the OP didn't ask for our opinion just wich ranges allowed it. Sent using Tapatalk 2 NOW FREE!!!
  9. RTSP does. They have a rifle port side (25yard) and a hand gun port room (15yard), the long gun side you can shoot anything hand gun or rifle up to .308 from one lane. No steel core rounds, tracers, or bird shot is the only restriction. But its an indoor facility so that's pretty much the norm everywhere. Sent using Tapatalk 2 NOW FREE!!!

  13. Another thing that will help, not a solution to the problem. Would be making sure your house has clean working gutters and the downspouts are piped away from your house. I see many homes with the downspouts dumping water directly at the foundation and that many times is the cause for excess basement water. A lot of water comes off of a roof in a storm. Our soil here in Northern NJ is like clay it dosent absorb water very well. A home built on a lot with a high water table or at the bottom of a hill is sometimes the situation as well and not much can be done to alleviate the issue in the first place. A pit and working pump are a must. I have seen people use pool liner around their foundations and bury them with flower beds around the perimeter about 3-4' out. To keep as much water as possible from soaking into the ground around the immediate soil near the foundation. It does result in a dryer basement. Less water in the pit will be less energy needed to pump it out. Sent using Tapatalk 2 NOW FREE!!!
  14. I stated this in my above post just didn't get into that much detail. Not every hot water system uses zone valves either, some have a pump for each zone, and flo check valves. With a zone valve manually open it would circulate without the pump running. This is how the first hotwater systems worked before circulator pumps were used. It was called a gravity hot water system. It wont work as well as having the pump running but it will heat. Now if you have an oil fired boiler you still need power for the burner. And newer gas fired units need power to open the gas valve also. Thats why wood fired is ideal for long term or completely off grid heating. Also boilers heat water, furnaces heat air. There is no such thing as a hot water furnace. Unless you count a hydronic coil, but even then your still heating air, and would also require a boiler. To a heating guy calling a boiler a furnace is like calling a magazine a clip lol. Sent using Tapatalk 2 NOW FREE!!!
  15. I have women in my house they dont go for that on and off crap all day. That winds up becoming my problem. I have forced air wich turns on and off constantly, a well wich needs power and electric water heater. I let it run all day. Shut it off at night to sleep. Then back on all day. If it were sub zero outside I would run it all night also. Sent using Tapatalk 2 NOW FREE!!!
  16. Yeah its called pocket ranger. It kicks ass! I can instant check my deer in, without making a phone call from the woods. Also has the compendium in it at my fingertips any time I need it for reference. I downloaded it not this past season but the season before. I love it. Sent using Tapatalk 2 NOW FREE!!!
  17. not much you can do if your plan is to rely on gasoline in the first place. Gasoline is a short term solution to a no power situation. Short term meaning a few days. During the storm I had no power for 14 days I had four 5 gallon cans filled before the storm along with all my vehicles gassed up. I ran out of fuel in 3-1/2 days. Luckily my boat was in the driveway with 160gal of stabilized fuel in it. I had no problems but not everyone has that source, including myself when my boat is in the lake during summer months. Unless I pull it and bring it home for an auxiliary fuel source. My recommendation to anyone relying on a gasoline fired generator that dosent have natural gas at home would be to invest in a propane conversion. & have a bottle delivered and piped in. At least you can get two weeks out of a bottle. If that ran out you could use grille bottles in a pinch. They are abundant. Space heaters in a house that burn any type of fuel are never a great idea. All of them produce carbon monoxide, & a potential for a fire. The reason our heating equipment uses a chimney and your gas fired dryer is vented outside, same thing with the hood over your gas fired stove. (common sense) A wood fired boiler is always an option but expensive initially to install, and you need a supply of wood. But they can be a great investment for security of heat in any situation also can be used when there is power to save on fuel. They make indoor or outdoor units for hot water applications. I've never seen one in steam but I never looked for one either. I cant imagine you could use a steam boiler outside because the water couldn't be treated against freezing like a hot water system could. The beauty of an outdoor unit over indoor is obvious, no mess inside, no bringing in wood, no wood smell in the house. They also make dual fuel units that can fire on wood, or gas/oil. I have a few customers that have them. Not a bad plan IMO. Even a home with a hot water boiler instead of steam only requires a small amount of power to run the circulator pump. That could be had from a back up battery or smaller generator. Even without a pump the hot water will migrate through the system just by gravity, although not as well as pumping it would. Steam needs no pump and works solely on the premises that heat rises. Now if you use forced air your screwed, you have to have power to run the blower motor. And nothing wrong with a wood burning stove or removing that inefficient fireplace and doing a wood burning insert instead. Thats what I personally have and it heats 80% of my home without power if needed. Sent using Tapatalk 2 NOW FREE!!!
  18. ^^^^ I gave you the solution above. Dont allow your generator to run out of fuel and die. When it does that it starts to drop voltage, and if the computer controlled parts experience a drop like that they can and do burn up, same goes for start up. Sometimes they will give a spike in power. Surges in power kill the control boards, these parts are very sensitive to voltage drops. Always turn the switch off on your heating equipment before starting your portable generator, then once the generator is up to full rmp's restore power to your heating equipment. Same reason a computer is plugged into a surge protection device. Some of the boards on the high efficiency equipment out there are not always readily available either, theres a possibility of having to wait a few weeks for parts. Especially a brand like Trane or America Standard. If its a German made unit even longer sometimes. And those parts are expensive, a Viessman or Buderus control board for example is upwards of $1k plus labor. A stand alone permanent Nat gas generator won't have those issues. But a gasoline fired unit will when it turns on or off. As the engine slows down the dynamo is spinning slower and slower and slower but still producing less and less and less voltage. The solution is the red switch on your boiler/furnace, use it. You dig? And yes I loved the work!!! Puts food on my table and a roof over my head. I just dont want anyone here to fund my next AR Build. Sent using Tapatalk 2 NOW FREE!!!
  19. Being a heating and Air mechanic I cant tell you how happy I get when I hear about people running furnaces and boilers with electronic controls off of back up batterys and generators. The entire two weeks of Sandy all I did was run around changing burnt up controls. The modern boards on newer equipment dosent do well with voltage drops. I probably changed 50 boards and primary controls within 3 weeks. Make sure you dont let your generator run out of fuel while your unit is running a heating cycle. When you shut the generator down to gas it up turn your heating equipment off first. Or you will be calling a guy like me to come take your money. Actually it got very difficult to find any electronic parts at all during the weeks following the storm. Glad I had a good stock in my shop. Just a friendly heads up for everyone here. Sucks not having power, sucks worse not having heat either. Sent using Tapatalk 2 NOW FREE!!!

  21. ^^^this is correct, I didn't specifi that in my post. But sat/Sun AM is members only. Wich I take advantage of on occasion, if I'm not in my treestand with my bow. I like going weekdays after work, usually no wait for a port. Sent using Tapatalk 2 NOW FREE!!!
  22. I recommend becoming a member to avoid waiting. I joined, if I walk in for a port and you have been waiting there 45 min as a non member. I jump you and get the port before you do. Membership has its privileges. I had to wait for a port once since I joined in July. And it was about 10 minutes, on a Saturday when a congress candidate was there speaking and the place was packed door to door. (Right after the grand re opening) Its worth the money. If you go once a month for a year thats the cost of membership basically. They also offer a discount on ammo and accessories to members. Sent using Tapatalk 2 NOW FREE!!!
