So very sorry to hear...

You also need to fix your NJGF "location" in your profile... First things first, man!!! :D

I have seen evidence of this. I use only White Flyers also. The Champions were getting jammed. broken, etc. in ofarmer's electric thrower.

Yes! I just took that course and got my license. NJ Law is 6+1 (6 in tube, 1 in chamber) for semi-auto shot guns. But NJ Fish & Wildlife policy is 2+1 when hunting or shooting on WMA ranges, etc. The chamber needs to be "blocked" to prevent more than two shells being loaded into the chamber.

One of the few things I actually will buy at Dick's, because I want to check the boxes for broken clays, etc. When they say "treat like eggs," they mean it! Roughly $8.95 per box of 90.

I was thinking of this model: Stack On PC-650 Unfortunately, it was the 1st safe they cracked open in the YT video I mentioned. I own a couple of them. But I checked, and it does seem they've made some improvements to them (the reset button is not as accessible from the main crack it is recessed inside a covering for those mechanisms). Not sure about the plastic covering over the buttons (i.e. how easy it might be to pry off), but it would definitely take some kind of tool to make it happen. I also don't know if there are any holes underneath it. For "near the bedside," I have a GunVault GV2000C-DLX. Both with battery and AC adapter. Finger pads only, non biometric (I was warned about biometric safes in my training classes). There is no longer a hole with access to the reset button. Perhaps the covering over the finger buttons could be lifted but, again, I don't believe it's covering any holes that give access to the reset button or the latching mechanism. It does have mounting bolt holes on the bottom, and I can use those to mount it to the floor of the nightstand. I also have two key only operated mini-safes. Both could be pried with tools, but it would take a considerable effort, and there are no electronics involved. All of these and my ammo, (except the duty weapon) are inside a secure crawl space area in the foundation of my townhouse (surrounded by cinder block) with a secure door attached. Since I will, eventually, GTFO NJ , I will consider the big "long gun" safe upon that event. My only long gun at present is my 930 12G. But since I do travel with my "inventory" out of state, I need portable solutions for the car, hotels, and for where I say while away.

OK, so what do all of you here use for portable safes? I had the same issue... There is another analysis video on YouTube that goes into further detail and covers more safes. The problem is, none of these videos offer a solution for the problems they raise... i assume it's in order to cover themselves in the event what they recommend fails, and they get sued or whatever. So, I won't ask "what do you recommend" but, rather, "What do you use" for Portable safes? What do you keep at your bedside? What would you use to transport securely in your car, or if staying at temporary lodging ( a hotel, etc.)? Just curious... Thanks.

Let us hope, then, he is cleared of this quickly. I liked that show and hope it returns. Speaking of which, I see the History Chanel show "Top Shot" has not returned for a 6th season. No explanation. I was hoping it wasn't "anti" pressure to get rid of it.

Which is why (earlier above) I called for training programs, at least, to mention the above two sites (as my multi-state CCW class did) so that students can research the laws. As stated, they should make it a "pre-class" exercise to use the sites to look up the "state with the most restrictive" laws, and bring the answer to class as "pre-homework." Give bonus points to those who bring the "correct answer" (DC-->NY-->NJ, etc.). I totally agree with you, here. The law may be the law, but that doesn't mean it's fair or just. I don't believe it is, nor do I believe the punishment fits the crime, in this case. I hope Evan Nappen can work his magic, and that we can put some effective pressure on the State officials to cut this lady a break. Her intent was not criminal at all. She shouldn't be treated like one. It just totally sucks that the law treats her like one, and that the prosecutor etc. wants to "make an example" out of her.

I would think the State would disagree either way, considering that the gain realized on the sale of NJ property would be considered income earned in NJ and subject to cap gains tax, and thus requiring a "non resident" 1040 for that year. When I was going to college, I switched my primary domicile to Illinois. But I'd come home to NJ for the summer, and work summer jobs there. I had to file a NJ "Non resident" 1040. I think the "withhold up front" is just a convenience mechanism for the State (i.e. defend against people who *do* move away and *think* they don't have to file in NJ anymore)...

No but, obviously, the risk involved with a lane change violation is much less than improper possession/carrying of a weapon. And, oddly enough, driving regulations are fairly standard across the country... more standardized than gun laws, at least... I realize that sucks and is offensive to those of us who believe strongly in the constitution, and 2A and HD/SD rights and the right to carry wherever we want, 24x7x365. Still, it is the law until changed. And our choices are to know/obey it, or be willing to accept the risks/consequences of not knowing/obeying it. As stated before, do I know all the gun laws I need to know to possess/carry my guns everywhere I can do so, legally (or not)? No, I don't. But I know enough to *not* possess/carry in places where I'm uncertain about it. And I know where to look up the information about each state (www.usacarry.com and handgunlaw.us) if I want to possess/carry there. It's not that hard. In fact, it seems quite intuitive, actually. I know... I know.... it's offensive to us 24x7x365'ers, and it absolutely sucks that we have to bother to look things like this up, rather than be as comfortable as we can afford to be with "lane change" laws..... But until that day, it's always going to be a risk/benefit calculation. I'll either look up the laws, or I won't possess/carry there.

One trick, if you have the patience for it, is to tie them up on the phone for maybe 1/2hr - 1hr asking them all kinds of questions on the product. THEN say "No" and hang up! We used to do that with political campaign callers.... We'd lead them on for maybe 1/2hr - 1hr with all kinds of questions. Then we'd ask "how many calls could you have made?"... then we'd say we're voting for <Insert name of opposing candidate> and then hang up! :D

Caller ID is a wonderful thing. If I don't recognize the number calling me, I let the machine pick up. 99.9999% of the time, a message is never left.

Of course, because the clothing changes with temperature, and it also has to be what won't make the weapon print, or collect sweat, etc.

Ah, as in 100˚F (he being in the Phx. area).... What makes the weapon "temperature sensitive?" Sorry... I'm still learning this stuff....

Why the -100 for the Shield? I was kinda counting on the Shield...

Yeah, this is a JDFR, to me..... I'd distrust anyone that calls me "unsolicited and unverified" and asks for P.I.I. If I had any interest in whatever it was they were offering (which I wouldn't anyway), I'd ask for a number to call them back and then try to verify independently.

The sheriff's spokesperson said he was found in a seated position - Here is the Press Conference...

I probably would wince at $200.00 on ammo m'self, but I get what you mean... There's things I'd love to have, but there are other financial priorities now. I would purchase ammo to get me through to the next "sale." At least a year's worth of each caliber / gauge. But I do need something "generic" big enough in which to carry all my pistols at once. I don't want a "logo" range bag (no need to advertise.... ). My choices, so far, are: Maxpedition Jumbo S-Type Versipak or GPS Tactical Range Backpack I'm inclined to go more with #1 above. But neither are a priority right now....

AP is now tweeting that the Marin County Sheriff's office confirms Williams hung/strangled himself. He was found by his personal assistant with a belt looped around his neck.

Excellent. Be sure to use their guns, not yours. Just makes it easier (read: they won't check it for "compliance")....

You should get it, nonetheless... and Florida. That should cover you most places. Laws can change. States can change. I have 3 - UT, FL, and AZ (just in case).

The reports I've seen, so far, only indicate "suicide by asphyxiation" as a preliminary cause, subject to a full forensic exam and tox screen. Asphyxia by hanging is especially horrible. I guess a lot depends on your "success formula" in life (remember the children's board game, "Careers")? Fortune is only one component. The others are "Fame" and "Happiness." I can only guess he felt a deficit in one of those. It reminds me of his routine in his "Reality... What a concept" album - "Come inside my mind" NSFW - Language If there is any good to be extracted from this tragedy, at least the anti's can't make anything out of it...

I'm all for anything that will help her, and us. Chasing NJ probably would be the best start for this kind of effort. I just don't know if any pressure we could bring ot bear on the prosecutor will sway him. Not yet, apparently.

And, for the same reasons, I don't think the MSM would push him out of his comfort zone or put him on the defensive. Remember, they favor his position. They'll spin it well towards his side. It would have to be Fox or NRA news or something like that. And, if he holds up really well on TV, it could actually strengthen his position and work against ours. Very very risky. Does anyone have clips of him on TV prior to this for assessment? If he's not good on TV, then maybe it is worth a shot.
