does anyone know when busses will be returning us to pick-up locations?

If I go into state house, maybe. I dunno, probably wont get "carded" but will be funny to see look on face of carder if I present my FID

there may be a chance we will be asked to show ID, I'm debating bringing my FID and using my state issued ID in that event.

Tractor Supply Co has some nice NRA Tees.

But too close to Philly. That's the only place ever I hear a sub called a hoagie.

WTF is a "hoagie"? I bet you eat Taylor Ham too

Tomorrows weather forecast. Sunny, with a high near 47. Northeast wind around 9 mph.

Generally, I'm terrible at record keeping. My wife is always harping on me because I loose receipts and stuff for my business. But, as far as firearms and accessory purchases go, I have all that neatly (okay, not exactly neatly but it's all there in one place) stored in a file box. Just in case.

Yarp. (+100 points for anyone who recognizes the affirmative reference)

I have not rec'd farmingdale 411 yet. even checked my spam folder. I wonder if gmail is filtering my messages.

I have not received any info on time and location for Farmingdale bus yet.

Not a lot of news exposure on the rally. NJ 101.5 did a piece earlier this month and all the other rally related news is from the NRA, Ammo Land and other pro 2A sources.

Good to know but I'm not lowering taxes.

Yes, we do. We have the NRA and ANJRPC who have collected 10's of millions of dollars from NJ residents ($35.00 x 1,000,000=$35M USD) forced to pay NRA dues to join ranges here. It's like....uh, what was that reason for the Revolutionary war??? taxation without representation. I consider having to join the NRA as a precondition to join a NJ range the same as a poll tax, for which we get practically nothing in return. We could also self fund. I'm sure there are at least a couple dozen very wealthy 2A supporting NJ philanthropists who would back a movement if we approach them with a solid game plan.

I gotta say, this whole thing was poorly planned. I know they (the organizers) tried to do the best they could with the time they had but they could have done better. Why not have guest speakers there, like Dana Loesh for the NRA hardliners and if they could have convinced Hickock45 or MAC to speak, that would have drawn a younger crowd. Groups like BLM and Antifa are highly organized and mobile. They are ready to go anywhere on a moment's notice based on a tweet or text message. The NRA, ANJRPC and other NJ based 2A groups had several weeks to organize a rally, actually months, it's not like we didn't know this was coming, The opposition is ready to strike any time, anywhere and I am dismayed that we do not have the same ability because there is no genuine passion among the majority of NJ gun owners to defend our basic civil liberties and constitutional rights. I applaud the efforts of everyone here who is going and who did their best to get the word out. And I appreciate the NRA, ANJRPC CNJFO and all the other groups for their hard work. We will make an impact on Monday, how much is anyone's guess though. We can do better and we should not give up the fight.

I would find an eastern block supplier that still had tons (literally) of Mosins still in cosmoline, buy about 3K of them at $100 apiece and lots of spam cans of milsurp. Then I'd buy 20 SAWs, 500 M-16s and Colt 1911s for my elite Royal Guard. I'd raise taxes because $10 mil sure as hell isn't going to pay for all my "state dinner parties" and the Cessna Citation X+ that I'll need to flee the island when the population revolts.

I think NJ will have to eventually bend to the federal courts. CA banned legally purchased and possessed,mags over 10 rds without grandfathering them and the federal courts ruled it unconstitutional. There is an official ban in CA but a defacto federal injunction that makes it unenforceable.....I think.

Scared shirtless?? Too early, not enough caffeine to make a properly snarky something out of this.

Isn't Vermont where all the hippies went in the early 70's to build their utopian communes, along with the draft dodgers, so they could be within running distance to the Canadian border?

He can burn up his lunch money all day at the R-14 rifle range with the HD setup. Eh, but there's rules there too. Slugs and buckshot only. Though I've seen folks shoot birdshot there from time to time, and the RSOs don't look twice.

I ordered a new mag for my 25N and bought the wrong one. It's a genuine Marlin 7rd 22lr steel mag, made in the USA, mag still in the blister pack. It fits the 20, 25, 80 and 780 models. If you can use it, lemme know. It'll cost more to swap it out with midway than to give it away.

I believe the main objections over your shotty at R-14 was the pistol grip and mag capacity. Like every other sport, trap and skeet have rules and your gun was inappropriate for that type of sport. They probably follow the ATA and NSSA rules for what types of firearms are appropriate. I don't think there are any strict rules on barrel length, other than it has to be legal. Many folks use semi autos for trap because of the lighter recoil. Even though they typically hold 4 shells in the mag, the rules say the mag tube has to be blocked to hold no more than two, pretty much the same for hunting (ie. 2 +1). Even so, you only load one for singles and two for doubles. It's the same for pumps. It's just the way it is. To be honest, I would be a little concerned about shooting next to a group of noobs sporting their tacticoolized shottys, dumping fully loaded mags indiscriminately ( 6 or 7 shells total on some guns). Rules are supposed to keep sports fair, civilized and safe. Look forward to seeing you at the rally.

@almiz111 Keep an eye out for the next shotgun shootout at the Clinton WMA. We shoot all kinds of stuff there, including the type of shotty you have and other non trap/skeet guns like the Mossberg Shockwave. I'll say this though, I doubt you will be pleased with the performance of your shotty in it's current configuration. If you want to try it just for the sake of trying it, that is your prerogative. It can be useful to push a gun beyond it's practical limits to find out what it can't do. If your shotty is a Remington 870 or a Mossy 500 series, you may want to think about buying a longer (28"- 32")threaded barrel and a used set of furniture for those special non HD occasions. With all the kids tacticoolizing their grampy's shotguns, used stuff can be found at a pretty good price. We can talk more about this at the Trenton rally..... You are going, right?

Pretty much all of them. Especially the ones that follow ATA rules.

We got 3" of slush and 7" of wet snow on top of that. Keeps clogging the snowblower. Grrrr.
