60 Minutes to cover the "National Reciprocity" Act, this Sunday!
And that it's only in the "rural" areas of the country that those "gun nut rubes" exist.... <smh> Not only would the Rank and file beg to differ, but also some of the Sheriffs would also differ in counties pretty much out side major inner cities...

If you want, you can disable it just for this site. I had to do that. All it enabled was just the commercials within the video. There aren't any "pop ups" or things like that.

60 Minutes 2/11 - Heads-Up
Here's the entire broadcast. CBS 60 minutes - 02/11/2018.... Be prepared to disable "Ad Blocker" if you have it enabled. Of course, you didn't expect them to spin it to he pro-2A side, right?

I was wondering about that. Would non-resident permits apply? I guess not.... Sucks....

60 Minutes to cover the "National Reciprocity" Act, this Sunday!
OK, I just finished watching. It was their usual slick job of "attempting" to seem "fair & balanced," but it was clear by the content, order of speakers, and the imagery (scenes of people in gun stores, of kids shooting guns, etc. etc.), that they were painting an anti-gun mindset picture. There were only two pro-2A reps - a congressman from North Carolina and the Pres. of USCCA. There were, maybe 3 times as many anti-reps including NY DA Cyrus Vance, NYC police commissioner, The Milwaukee Police chief, a rep from the Giffords institute (who tried to convince us that 2A does not guarantee a right to concealed carry... that 2A is only valid for home defense). In short, while they acknowledged that guns are part of the culture "in the rural parts of the country," they are condemned in major cities like NY, LA, Tuscon, Seattle, Milwaukee, etc. etc., DA Vance's position is that Feds shouldn't tell anti states / cities what to do... The USCCA guy did his best, but I think they manipulated his answers a bit, as they did with the NC congressman. They stated that they invited Wayne La Pierre on the segment but that he refused. Instead they showed a clip of his speech after the 2016 election imploring Pres. Elect Trump to enact National reciprocity. Oddly enough, they also mentioned the case of Shaneen Allen and plastered her picture (and, even, a profile of Evan Nappen), stating that if it weren't for Chris Christie pardoning her, she would have faced 10 years in prison (while not mentioning that before Christie pardoned her, she had gotten PTI only after Evan Nappen exposed the DA as being the same one who granted PTI to Ray Rice for a domestic violence charge.... Hmmmmmm...... Yeah... the message was slick and, while they didn't conclude anything directly, it was clear that they were suggesting that National Reciprocity is a bad thing for the big cities (where the 60 min. primary constituency lives), and thus bad for all.

Nappen seminar 2/10
Actually, we do have democrat gun owners (military officers, actually) on our FL forums. Just as nastily liberal, but also as strongly pro-2A. Hopefully, you can bring 2 democrat "on the fencers" and convert them...

CBS (60 minutes) is covering the National Reciprocity Bill this Sunday - Might be worth a look to see how they'll approach it. I'm sure we'll probably know how they will, but it will be interesting to see nonetheless... 60 Minutes - Recognizing Concealed Carry.....

remakes
I guess I'm going to be different. I really don't want to see any original shows "remade." The remakes are, usually, just not as good. I'd rather see the older shows restored and preserved onto Digital media (DVD / Blu Ray). Then I'd want to see new shows created, perhaps with similar themes, but not the exact same remake. I recall when, for example, The "next" Karate Kid (with Hilary Swank) film was made (after the trilogy with Ralph Machio was finished). And, even though Pat Morita reprized his role as Miyagi, it just wasn't the same chemistry as the original trilogy. I saw the other day that they're going to do a "Crocodile Dundee" remake with the character being his "unknown" son.... I dunno.....

remakes
Thankfully, all of the originals are well preserved on DVD (most of them, anyway). In fact, I have some Laser Discs of some of the cartoons before they were "politically corrected." If they aren't there, they're on YouTube. I was able to find decent clips of all the "Censored 11" cartoons on YouTube. And I also have a Laser disc with "Bugs Bunny Nips the Nips" on it (before it was taken off), and a VHS tape containing "Tokyo Jokio" on it. You won't see things like those originals made these days. Remember the "Now I've seen everything..." clips where the character that has just "seen everything" shoots themselves, etc. This, or recall when "Herman" the Mouse made Katnip the cat ingest sleeping pills in the soda fountain store. That was also censored. I must have seen that cartoon a zillion times as a kid... and I never took (or caused someone else to take) sleeping pills like that. Not to mention all the racial/ethnic/sexist stuff...

Just two guns for the rest of your life
For the sidearm, I'd go with my SIG P226. For the long gun, I'm torn between my Mossberg 930 "JM Pro" and my Colt LE6920. The right tool for the right job. Can't we have a "third" choice as well (i.e. sidearm, long gun and shottie)?

Survival "Eats..."
That, I have covered. Currently, I don't even drink or cook with tap water, although I probably could. I drink/cook with bottled water anyway. Not a big issue.

Survival "Eats..."
Definitely something to look into....

Survival "Eats..."
I suppose I shouldn't care but, at least, I like the longer strands that result when the nest unravels naturally than if it's crushed. But, yeah... it all "meets the same endpoint..." doesn't it?
-
Survival "Eats..."
I don't think Costco was offering Angel Hair in "strand" packages.... only nests... with 4 nests per shrink wrap pack in a box of maybe 20 shrink wrap packs... And, besides, the nest pasta was a lot thinner than strand Angel hair...
-
Survival "Eats..."
No, not the fresh stuff. But I have had some issues with the Angel hair nests I'd buy at Costco. I had some shelved for 3-4 years. When I cooked a couple of nests after 4 years, it tasted its age, unfortunately... I suppose that if I could vacuum seal them, they would do much better, but it's hard to vacuum seal angel hair nests....

Survival "Eats..."
I'm getting some good ideas, thanks! I already do canned veggies, and I like the idea of things like Chef Boyardee canned Pasta (i.e. Ravioli, etc.). It was remarked on one of my FL forums that local grocery stores usually offer things like Chef Boyardee cans for sale ($1.00/can) on June 1st... start of the Hurricane season. And more canned items like Chef Boyardee as well as the house brand canned veggies have "pop top" lids and don't require a can opener. I think they started doing that after Irma. I'm also looking at vacuum sealing rice and other things. I'd like to be able to vacuum seal pasta, but I normally eat Angel Hair pasta which I buy in Nests from Costco. A bit hard to vacuum seal those, and they'd be crushed. I also like the idea of the Ramen Noodle cups... very cheap and filling. I might also consider Spam and other canned meats, as well. I'm probably going to shy away from the classic "prepper" meal products (MREs, Wise / MH, etc.) as they are way too expensive, and I don't need to store the items for *that* long. I'd be willing to cycle everything on a 6 month basis. This is not to say that I might not consider those, eventually, but they aren't needed in the short term. I'd like to limit this to things I can get easily at either the grocery store or Costco... very cheap and things I could cycle on a regular basis.

Comcast cable Fox News disruption.
With a few very minor fractal glitches, it's also been fine on FiOS, here in FL. Also the "Blaze TV" network, Newsmax TV (although neither in HD yet), and other pro-2A channels.

handgun permits
If you're getting your prints done by "Ident-to-Go," I think it's on the order of $59-60 for the initial set of prints. But that also serves as the NJSP criminal background check. For subsequent P2P or other requests, You need the criminal background check itself. That's done via this URL - NJ 212A Criminal Background Check... But your municipality has to give you information to do it. The cost for this is $20.00.

Survival "Eats..."
If you were looking to "prepare" for a time when there might be a "food shortage," what would you buy, and how much? It should be food that: 1) Is relatively cheap to buy, up front and in decent quantities (Perhaps a 1-2 month's supply); 2) Will store for a long time, unprepared (à la MRE's). 3) Meets all the basic nutrition requirements (proteins, "good" carbs, etc.)...and will "fill you up..." 4) Fairly easy to prepare (i.e. "just boil water" or "nuke" it). IIRC, Dana Loesch was hawking such a company that provided "survival meals" of this nature, but I forgot who they were and, also IIRC, they were a bit pricey for what you got. No, I'm not privy to any future 411 on "shortages..." I was just thinking a bit ahead of the next Hurricane season, having dealt directly with Irma this past season. No better time to "stock up" than when you don't "need to." Thoughts? Thanks!

It’s back!! 5 round limit again
30 round capacity might be "standard," but I wouldn't want that as the "max" limit either.... There are all those 50rnd mags and 100 rnd drum mags for NFA weapons to consider...

Traveling with a Fla. CCP
As others have stated, if you store it per FOPA regulations, and you don't stop in NJ for anything other than a quick food/fuel/P-break, you should be OK, technically. Also,do you absolute best not to get "stopped," if at all possible. I mean, while you might be within the law, technically, it may not stop an overzealous LEO from.... well.... you know.... Oh, a minor nitpic - FL does not issue Concealed carry "permits..." they issue "licenses..." Hence, the FL "Concealed Weapon or Firearm License (CWFL), That title is what appears on the card itself.
