Home insurance question
I write too, with the hopes of long term, profitable business. We are not so different since you do have to consider your E&O at the end of the day.

Home insurance question
Not really on the commercial side, of which I'm an underwriter. We try to partner with our agents in order to make the sales since the premiums are $50,000 plus and (edit) not high volume personal lines policies.

Home insurance question
It would go on his policy because he's filing a claim through his carrier. If the carrier felt the neighbor was negligent, the carrier could make payment to the insured dependent on policy language then subrogate against the neighbor's carrier. If the tree was healthy, his carrier will still likely pay for damage and cleanup, dependent on policy language. In most instances, a report only claim will not trigger a rate increase for the renewal term. However, this is always dependent on the carrier and their Underwriting Guidelines. If you can leave your insurance carrier out of this situation, I would do it. It's not worth dealing with an adjuster if the loss is nominal.

Home insurance question
I'm an underwriter and my answer to you is that it Flood is not automatically covered in a homeowners policy because homeowners should seek primary coverage through the National Flood Insurance Program. Depending on the carrier, flood can be endorsed onto a policy dependent on the CAT evaluation of the location in question.

HK $200 rebate (Nov-Dec '14)
I have been debating between buying a p229/p226 or a p30 v3. Though I have less that appealing reviews of the da/sa of the p30, this rebate might have swung me over to the HK.

zq1 7.62x51 ammo at walmart 9.99 per 20
I have tried the ZQI 9mm and it's a hotter, NATO load. It's manufactured in Turkey and has green sealant on the primer. I did not notice it being any more or less dirty than domestic rounds and I paid $10.38 including tax a couple of weeks ago at Walmart.

Bit by the Sig Bug: 229 vs. 226?
Sorry to bring up a somewhat dead thread but can anyone make any comparisons between the p229 vs. p30 v1 lem? Now that I've had the opportunity to shoot my vp9, this other offering from HK has caught my eye. As a lefty, I'm very fond of the ambidextrous controls. The ability to share mags would be great as well.

Woodland Park Range
I always have a good experience at GFH at the Woodland Park Range. I'm not playing favorites with this post as everyone (and I mean everyone) working at the range has been great. I received a phone call from Charlie about a week ago that my handgun was ready for pick up. Tonight, I went in to pick up my transfer and struck up a conversation with Alex and Mike K at the counter while I waited for the background check to clear. Big ups to the two of them keeping both my girlfriend and I company while we waited. Again, the staff is always a pleasure to deal with and I can't wait to burn up another permit soon haha.

Bit by the Sig Bug: 229 vs. 226?
In your experience, is the 1/2 inch less sight radius noticeable when going from the 226 to the 229? As for carry, I'm not tall at all being 5'5" on a good day. I guess I could pull off the 226 if I can already do it with the 92fs though I print like crazy. On a side note, I was looking at the m11-a1. Despite the outrage from SIG crowd, it seems like a good deal. Any experience?

Bit by the Sig Bug: 229 vs. 226?
I have a Beretta 92 and I am fan of it. It was the first 9mm handgun I shot when I was a kid and it has a special place in my heart. However, over the weekend I had a chance to shoot a p226 and I was blown away. I was always a bit wary due to the position of the decocker and me being a lefty, but I found no difficulty during my range time with it. There is something about the grip which allowed me to shoot the handgun much better than my Beretta from the very first magazine. With that said, I want to add a Sig to my collection but I don't know which one to get in 9mm. This new handgun will serve mostly as a range gun, but I do intend on carrying it whenever I'm back home in CT. Other than size, will I miss out on anything else by leaning towards the p229?

Wait times for pistol permits
I'm closing in on three months since I submitted my paper work. On the second month mark, I stopped in to the station and had a conversation with the records bureau who directed me to the detective handling the permits. He assured me it would take one to two more weeks. This coming Monday will be the two week mark. We recently had a murder/suicide in my town which may have put my permits on hold. However, If he does not honor his word, I'm writing the mayor of my town. After reading this, I am inclined to write a letter to the Governor; regardless if I receive a response. If you don't mind me asking, what did you do, call or write/email?

s&w m&p 15-22 nj approved
My earliest firearm memories involved trips to Hoffman's with my Father. He's been going there for over 20+ years and I would not hesitate to buy anything from them if it is a good deal. Generally not the cheapest place in CT, but this one deal is a steal!

Times most dangerous counties in the US
It's accurate based on the methodology... "We tallied up every event in the contiguous United States that has caused death, property damage, injuries or crop damage in each county." Further... "Events measured by NOAA’s research include earthquake, hurricane (typhoon), cold wind chill, astronomical low tide, coastal flood, avalanche, dense fog, drought, dust devil, dust storm, excessive heat, extreme cold/wind chill, flash flood, flood, freezing fog, funnel cloud, hail, heat, heavy rain, heavy snow, high surf, high wind, ice storm, lakeshore flood, landslide, lightning, rip current, seiche, sleet, storm surge/tide, strong wind, thunderstorm wind, tornado, tropical depression, tropical storm, tsunami, waterspout, wildfire, winter storm and winter weather." There may be better ways, but I wouldn't call it "stupid" by any means...

Do new NRA Ads influence NJ law?
This is why I still read CT gun forums. Even though they have a pretty difficult situation to deal with, people over there still believe in some notion of activism. Meanwhile for us Jersey-folk, we continuously shoot ourselves in the collective foot. Guess it's a great thing we don't pump our gas, huh?

Scotch Plains Residents: P2P Turnaround time?
I appreciate your reply. This is my first time apply since my initial FID and p2p so I wanted to see if the process was any quicker than the ~70 days I waited last time. It's becoming apparent it is not quicker and aligns with what other people experience. I guess I will not be so anxious

Hollow points
I think my apartment neighbors would appreciate the use of hollow point ammo if I were even involved in a self defense situation in my unit. Over-penetrating and possibly striking your neighbors would most likely unleash the wrath that is the NJ firearm law. I would never load ball ammo unless I was at the range.

Scotch Plains Residents: P2P Turnaround time?
I do apologize if this is in the wrong forum. For my fellow Scotch Plains residents, what are you all averaging for your p2p approvals from the town?
