Four Billboards for Shaneen Allen
OK, but use caution! Remember, discussion of JN is "tabu" for most judiciary systems. Juror candidates can be DQ'ed if the lawyers are aware that the candidate knows about it. In a county like mine, where there are few qualified juror candidates as it is, anyone caught by the Sheriff's deputies "spreading the word," (and, especially near the courthouse itself), might just be brought before the judge and hit with a "contempt of court" citation. Not saying it would stick, but the judge might just try to scare the "offender" into compliance. I could easily see a judge granting a "change of venue" if they can't seat a qualified jury.

Four Billboards for Shaneen Allen
It won't let us view it, either! Not unless you register as a member of that board! Ah well. Thanks anyway. It's good to know the case is getting national attention and being linked to the Ray Rice debacle.

Target Practice in Forest
Also try EFGA, as stated earlier. $30.00 initiation fee, plus $30.00 annual dues. It's just about 10 min. into PA on Interstate-78 from NJ (Phillipsburg).

Target Practice in Forest
I would definitely *not* try to shoot in any "publicly owned" NJ State forest (i.e. Wharton, Stokes, etc.). If the land/forest is "privately owned," and you have the land owner's permission, then I'd have to check and see if there are any local or county discharge ordinances. Best bet might be the NJ Fish & Wildlife NWA ranges that allow .22LR rifles or muzzle loader rifles. There is one in Hunterdon county (near Somerset) in Union Twp (do not confuse with "Union Twp." in Union County). To use a NWA range, you must have a NJ Hunting License and Rifle permit. But they are easy to obtain. This website will give you all the info you need to get your license and where you can use it. There are other private ranges also. If you're willing to go all the way to Pennsylvania, there's a nice range called EGFA in Easton, just across the Delaware. River. Only $30.00 initiation + $30.00/yr annual dues. Be sure to learn all the gun laws in NJ (it's )... Buy this book NJ Gun Law 2014 - Evan Nappen. It will help keep you out of trouble. Good Luck and Welcome to the "horror."

New York Times Article on Assault Rifles
Gotta love how the author, "at best," exaggerated the truth of what Panera is doing to spin the article towards his agenda. Panera is not "banning" anything. The are simply "requesting" that people not bear arms on their property. They are not (to my knowledge) putting up restrictive signs (i.e. Weapons not permitted on the premises). But his story (and his agenda) sure sounds better if he says, "they're banning" weapons.

I bought the P226 and never looked back. I love it! I have an OWB for it on my competition belt.

NJGF Online Resource Compendium - Firearm & Crime Studies, Stats, etc.
I had read this earlier this morning (was promoted by Yahoo), and re-read it again just now. I was concerned that it might be attempting to spin the "anti" efforts away from the "assault rifles" (which really isn't a crime issue, as the article states), and towards "handguns" (which the antis and MSM want to make into an issue). I'm amazed they actually ran it in the NYT..... I wonder if MDA will start a "boycott" of them...

Another Shore Shot shooting
There was a risk of this happening at my home range when they had their most recent similar incident. And it came at a time when I was not yet an owner and needed to rent. I would always go by myself at that time. And I had just paid for a full 1 year membership. Thankfully, they did not implement it, or I would have cancelled the membership and demanded my money back. Doesn't matter for me anymore... I'm an owner several times over, now. But I feel for those that were in my position. In a sport/industry that is attempting to attract new membership, restricting new members from renting or trying out new weapons (and potentially buying them from the range shop) would seem counterproductive. Trust me... I understand the concern. It's a risk/benefit calculation that each range has to make for themselves. Hopefully, there are ways to mitigate that risk without restricting others to which it would never apply, and who might become your best customer (as I did with my range). Background checks, customer interviews/evals, whatever. Make them take a gun safety class with an instructor before you rent to them. See how they operate in front of others. I would have gladly done any of those if it meant I could still rent without owning, when I most needed to.

Another Victim of Senseless NJ Laws
Cautious optimism here! Let us hope that the Ray Rice debacle put sufficient pressure on the prosecutor to re-consider PTI for Shaneen. Hopefully, it's not too late for that. We need to keep the pressure up.

Good video. Unfortunately, it's a little "preaching to the choir." This video will never be seen by the people who most need to see it... the "sheeples." The antis and Fudds won't care. The pro-2a folks already know the problem. if there was a way to sneek this onto the Natl. MSM, it would be great. But it ain't gonna happen....

Here's a "good one..." But consider the souce - Huffington Post - Gun Bans a Safe Haven for Killers I love how this author states incorrect facts from the beginning... (i.e. stating that Panera "banned" guns... they did *not* ban them... they are simply "requesting" we not bring them in). Anyway, like I say, consider the source....

Which tells me that there's a lot more politics involved in Shaneen's case than meets the eye. I wonder how far up the chain this actually goes....

Your First Shot
10 years old, independent summer day camp. The "bus driver/ handy man" for the camp was an military guy and an NRA instructor, it would seem.We had access to the indoor range at a local private school. We shot .22 single shot bolt action rifles in prone position. He was a great guy. He actually ran the camp's annual summer "night bivouac" for the kids in forest some park in Cedar Grove. He'd put up military style "single pole" tent, dig the Latrine, etc. etc. One night for the girls, one for the boys. Whichever gender (and counselors) went for the first night would be responsible for setting it all up, and the other for taking it down after the second night.

Some of their pastry type goods are decent. The frosted brownies are pretty good. I don't bother with the bread or other food type stuff. More because of my own diet than disliking it.

As stated, it effectively *is* banned for 99.95% (or whatever) of NJ Gun owners. But, again, we can still make a statement by taking our business elsewhere, even here.

Panera Bread responded...
Irrelevant "at the present time." If NJ ever permits CCW "mainstream," *then* it might be relevant. Still, one can send an "economic" message, anywhere.

I guess I'll have to start looking for alternatives. Unfortunately, the two Paneras in my area are prime locations for my business networking group to have "1 on 1" meetings within our membership.

Another Victim of Senseless NJ Laws
As stated previously by several, if CC does anything, it will most likely be a "commutation of sentence," not a "full pardon" (with expungment). Just like Brian Aitken. She may not go to prison, but she will remain a "convicted felon," will lose her gun rights, and will have difficulty finding future employment. Nothing less than an acquittal or a full pardon will be of value to her, in this case. I agree that she should face some penalty, but at least let the young lady be able to provide for her family.
