To OP, a target date fund sounds like it's right up your alley. Just keep in mind that how much you save is 100x more important than where you invest.

I used to frequent a men's clothing site for the longest time, styleforum.net. Interesting mix of people ranging from from private equity types flying to Italy on their private jet for a new suit, to hipsters with their flannel shirts and raw denim jeans they hadn't washed in two months.

In San Diego drinking Bear Republic Racer 5 IPA. I would totally give up my guns for a lifetime supply of this stuff (not really, but you get the idea)

I like how it feels in my hand, but didn't like shooting it. It's hard to describe, but the "beavertail" directs recoil onto the knuckle at the base of my thumb and isn't very comfortable.

Check out www.fas1safe.com. I have 3 different gunvault safes, and while they work we'll enough for extra guns around the house, I don't find them reliable enough for a primary firearm.

I'm surprised there's still openings. When I tried to do the Pat McNamara class in NJ last year they were at capacity 2-3 months ahead of time, was placed on wait list, and still didn't make it on.

Any tips for stippling a polymer handgun? Is a soldering iron sufficient? I've seen references to a harbor freight wood knife...is this better to use?

By your reasoning, I can rob a gun store, and I'm exempt as long as I bring the guns straight home without any unnecessary deviations.

Among my talking points was Sweeney's "opposition to the right to self defense", which I think is pretty clear as to what I'm getting at. I actually had one guy who said he didn't care about taxes and common core, and signed specifically because of my mentioning "self defense".

From my visits to southern CA, the rule against solo gun rentals seem to be pretty common there as well. Actually, I can bring my guns to CA since they don't have the ridicuous to/from exempted location restrictions (not that they don't have their own bull$hit to deal with).

Just curious if there's any significance to having a nautical star on the outside of your house. I saw a lot of them and I figure it has more meaning than just outside home decor. I too had the issue of a lot of people not at home, but I'm definitely going to be back for more signatures. I may rethink the t-shirt. I did get the Friday the 13th vibe from those shirts but wore it anyways thinking it might give credibility, i.e., that I'm part of an organized movement.

I understand there was a problem securing clipboards in time for tomorrow, so bringing your own (and extras) would be a great idea.

I was able to loosen the screw on mine by hitting it just right with a pin punch, then followed by a screwdriver with heavy downward pressure.

I figure there are many of us that either regularly visit or commute to NYC and thought this would be appropriate for the forum: June 19, 2015: URGENT ACTION ALERT New York Bill to "Fix" Gravity Knife Law & Stop Thousands of NYC Arrests Needs Your CALLs and EMAILs TODAY! Time is running out, but we are still in the fight after the NY Legislature extended its session into next week. After a major behind-the-scenes lobbying effort, the bill to "fix" New York State's gravity knife law in an effort to protect New York City knife owners, A.4821/S.3675, has finally been released by the Senate Codes Committee and has now been assigned to the Senate Rules Committee. This bill has already passed the Assembly. A.4821/S.3675 would require that prosecutors prove "intent to use the [gravity knife] unlawfully against another" in order for someone to be prosecuted for possession of a "gravity knife." There have been over 60,000 gravity knife prosecutions in NYC in the past 10 years with the rate doubling in recent years. If you live, work or travel in New York, STOP WHAT YOU ARE DOING NOW and EMAIL and CALL Rules Committee Chairman Senator John Flanagan RIGHT NOW and politely request that he move A.4821/S.3675 to the floor for a final vote. CALL and EMAIL Chairman Flanagan NOW! Phone: 518-455-2071 Email: [email protected] Click on Read More >>>> for sample email to send and more details Calling is best, but you can also send an email (see below for a sample). When calling, simply ask the person answering the phone to "please tell Chairman Flanagan to move A.4821/S.3675 as soon as possible." EMAIL SUBJECT: Please Move A.4821/S.3675 ASAP Dear Chairman Flanagan, I am writing to request that you please move A.4821/S.3675 out of the Rules Committee for a final vote as soon as possible. This is a critical bill to protect New York's pocketknife owners and visitors to New York City carrying a pocketknife like they do every day at home. New York City is needlessly prosecuting upwards of 10,000 innocent people every year for possession of simple pocketknives. This bill would be a big step toward stopping these prosecutions, while still providing for penalties for those intent on doing harm. Please move A.4821/S.3675 as soon as possible. Thank you,

I think Nutley might be worth taking a look at. Nice neighborhood, multiple NYC transportation options, okay schools. I forget the ranking, my recollection was not spectactular, but still above median. Can't speak for FID/P2P wait. Clifton is a pretty big town and as people have mentioned, there are ton of different neigborhoods with completely different characteristics. I'm fortunate to be in a decent area with a nice elementary school, but I'm going to have to go with private schools for higher grades, assuming we haven't moved by then. I think you're mistaking Clifton for another town because P2Ps are routinely a 2 month wait. An appointment is required, which depending on your own flexibillity can be a 1-3 week wait. Initial FIDs were running around 5+ months when I got mine due to short staffing at the county adjuster but I'd expect that the time will have shortened a bit by now.

Tough crowd here. I don't see the problem unless you think it should be illegal to keep a loaded gun in your glove compartment. Sure there might be inconsistencies in his story, but unless those inconsistencies include a criminal record or intent to commit a crime, I could give a rat's @ss. Do we need to establish garages as gun free zones? Should people establish justifiable need each time they touch their handgun? He may not have won over this forum's hearts, but at least he has his freedom and I'm sure that means a hell of a lot more to him.

For 9mm storage, use discarded ammo boxes from your range. Not quite as practical for .223.

From my poking around behind the scenes, NJSP background checks are turned around nearly instantly. PDs just like using them as an excuse.

He should only need two forms: 1. FID/Permit application http://www.njsp.org/info/pdf/firearms/sts-033.pdf 2. Consent for mental health check http://www.njsp.org/info/pdf/firearms/sp-066.pdf My PD gives you the fingerprinting form in person at the time you turn in the above forms.

Welcome to the forums! Note there's some misinformation in your city-data thread. For example, you don't need a firearms ID or any sort of permit to transport your gun back and forth between your home and "exempt" locations such as shooting ranges, although you'll want to get one anyways since 1) it relaxes restrictions on transporting long guns and 2) you can't buy hand gun ammo in stores without one.

Can you list your state senator and/or assembly person as references on your application? I bet that would help a lot.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but the AG can only direct prosecutors to stop opposing CCWs on the lack of justifable need. Judges still have the final say and I don't think they're bound by administrative code.

If you're going to need the FFL to hold on to a handgun while waiting for permits, make sure they don't require pickup or charge storage fees after a certain amount of time.

You can actually buy on May 14. Count to 30 starting on the day after your previous purchase, and you can buy on the 30th day. 4/15 is day 1, 4/16 is day 2, etc.
