I think in NJ, it might be a bit problematic In Oklahoma, perhaps not so much. It's all about the prosecutor and what message they want to send...

I don't deny that they're out there. I'm saying only that I didn't see evidence of them where I used to live. That could be because there wasn't as big a population there, where I lived, or they've gone well "under cover" and avoid doing things that would expose them, publicly. Sounds like it was more the latter. But that's what's happened nationally with such groups. We don't see reports much anymore about public demonstrations or white hoods, or burning anything. They've learned the most valuable Monty Python lesson about "not being seen..." and about what the media will do with the kind of "imagery" those groups were offering. I'd like to see some of our pro-2A brethren learn similar lessons, although certainly not with the same objectives as KKK type groups. It's all about the imagery and how the media exploits it.

Interesting... In the 23+ years I lived in Warren County, I had not heard peep one about the KKK being anywhere, there. Not to say they aren't there, but they must be extremely quiet/private in order to escape media and LE attention. I think my friend would be just fine. He knows how to defend himself and his property. I certainly didn't have any issues where I lived and traveled. Then again, these were the more "industrial" parts of Warren County... where the factories would hire a rather "diverse" crowd.

I was referring to the LEAs in these towns being "2A friendly" when it comes to the FPID/P2P process. I've not heard of any municipality (other than, perhaps, those covered by the NJSP) having any trouble delivering their docs on time and without extra hassle, etc. Are you saying that "other than white" residents in places like Oxford are at greater risk living there? From the other residents? From LE? I happen to know of at least one African American gentleman (from a rather prominent NJ business family) that owns a farm in Oxford and has been there for several years. No complaints that I know of. Now, P'Burg,.. I would concur about the risk level being elevated, there. The one and only time I actually served on a jury in Warren County involved a 2nd degree assault & PDW (a box cutter blade). The victim and defendant were both "gang bangers" from a local biker gang in P'Burg (the defendant was actually a "prodigal alumnus" living out of state, at the time). It wasn't pretty. Too bad the prosecutor didn't have a case worth spit. But I suspect charges were filed anyway because the DA at the time was from P'Burg, and was, perhaps, attempting to quell "community frustrations" as it were...

For me, it was a round trip to Steve (remixer) & back to Hackettstown. In FL, I have a local private FFL, so I get whatever I'm buying on GunBroker, etc. shipped there.

I would agree with this being more "security/terrorist" oriented than "IT/mechanical." In any case, they aren't going to disclose the "true cause" for a variety of reasons. They never do. First, they don't want to make their ops (and, thus, their "vulnerabilities") known publicly. Second, if it is a security/terrorist concern, they obviously don't want to spook the public. Finally, it's just so easy, always, to blame the IT Guys... But yeah, allowing a hardware single point of failure for an op that huge is just plain bad management. Either some managers need to be fired, or it wasn't the true cause.

Then again, there's always Shyanne Roberts' custom designed AR-15 that she built courtesy of Anthony Colandro at GFH Radio.

This one is specific to the "Doberman Pinscher" breed, which is our family pet breed (well, my paternal family, anyway). PM forthcoming with the details.

Funny you mention that. I'm on a dog forum currently and half of the current discussions are about 2A and gun related issues...

Or Warren County... Hackettstown, Independence, Liberty, Washington Twp. are all friendly.

Fair enough... Looks like I'm buying some more 00 buck...

That's why I have 930 "Semi autos." No need to pump. I would still want to reserve two shells for each "participant," nonetheless. Just in case I miss once, etc. And while I do have some magnum load 00 buck, I'm probably going with my standard #8 target load.

For one person, maybe not so much. But Home invasions can often come in teams of 3 or more. Assuming a double tap for each person, that would be six shells right there. At least I have my JM Pro in FL (9+1).

6+1, IIRC. I had a Mossberg 930 "Home Security Model" (4+1) which I doctored up with a new barrel and a tube extension to get 6+1 capacity. Since then, I now have a full JM Pro (9+1) in FL.

When I was working for a company up in northern Bergen County (near the NY state line), I recall one day when a group of employees were attempting a prank on another employee as part of a celebration for that employee's service. The "prankster" would arrange to have the employee "arrested" for something while being surrounded by the other employees. The "LEO" came from right across the border in NY State where the employee/victim lived. We were waiting, and waiting even longer. We were afraid the "victim" would get spooked with everyone standing around. Finally, the "LEO" arrived to take the "victim" into custody. But we noticed an "empty holster." After the prank played out, the "LEO" explained: This would have happened around 1986-1987 time frame.

I've taken his MAG40 class (with him teaching it) in Florida, with all his home town asst. instructors. An excellent group of folks. I highly recommend it.

Probably because the MSM needed to stir up debate again and in an anti way. DGU's that are "clean" are almost never reported by the national MSM. You might see a local TV report on the night of the incident, but that's all. That is, unless there is some minor flaw in the incident (e.g. the shooter committed some minor faux-pas) that they can hone in on to spin it in an anti way.

We have them in the Tampa Bay general area also, but I don't think they're active here. There are some along US 41 in the Hernando County sections as well as along select routes within the City of Tampa, etc. Well, at least I was told they weren't active. Let's just say I'd rather not be the "test case."

Well, the "traffic enforcement" cameras are one thing... We have them down here in FL also but, likewise, i think they are also turned off as well or, at least, the "infractions" recorded aren't being enforced. I'm thinking more of the stationary ALPRs that only record licenses that whiz by. These wouldn't be at traffic lights or stops. They'd usually be found on major higways and on high poles. As stated, I know of a pair that are on I-80 near the Jefferson Township pedestrian bridge. There's another pair that I know of that's on US 31 in East Amwell, just north of Hopewell. I'm sure there are others.

On one of my Florida gun forums, an article was posted in re: a county in FL (Volusia County to be exact (DeLand, Deltona, Daytona Beach, etc.)) adding ALPR cameras on poles at various points along Volusia County roadways. This made me recall that NJ had tried this previously (I know of two sets of ALPR camera poles personally). But I think, IIRC, that they were not in active use when I left, due to various legal issues. I was wondering what the current status is of ALPR cameras and whether or not they are in use, today...

Wow! I definitely look forward to this. It's only 1/2 hour away!

I must have just snuck in, then. My change of address happened in late 2013. By Feb. of 2014 it was time to renew, anyway.

When I did a "change of address" with the DMV (I changed from my PO box address to my street address), they sent me a sticker label I put on the back of the original DL. So the correct address would be there and would match the FPID. That was only for less than 1 year. In Feb. of the following year, I then went for the regular renewal of my DL, which had the street address on it, matching the FPID.

Apparently, not all Gander Mountain stores are closing! There are three here in FL that will remain open, and several in other states (none in NJ). One of these is only 1.5 hours away from me. See this article from al.com (Alabama equivalent of nj.com).

Welcome from Tampa Bay, Florida (formerly Warren County, NJ)!
