And yes Oyster will be shut down by 2019 (probably sooner in my opinion...but I don't work there but you hear things). There is another example of decisions being made in NJ due to feelings not facts/evidence/science. Fertilizers from farmers cause algae blooms in the bay, make the nuke plant build a cooling tower or shut down 10 years early, threatening the grids stability because FEELINGS!!! It's the oldest operating NPP in the country, it was there before you built/bought your house, don't complain that it's in your back yard! (And I'm off my soap box)

Both really. There is already some inherent differences in the philosophy of how US Plants are ran/desiged vs the Japanese plants that makes most US plants at a much lower risk to experince a Fukushima type event to begin with. The plant systems are the same but more in the plant layout and how the perform maintenance windows by not taking out multiple trains of safety equipment at the same time. I won't bore you with those details. So to sum of the changes....Basically we are ensuring that our internal and external flood barriers can withstand a well beyond design basis event (design basis = requirement/commitment of our License with NRC). Then we are adding lots of portable and permanent equipment to allow us to power safety systems and pump water where it is needed in the plant, on top of the already redundant engineered safety systems required for emergency core cooling/accident mitigation. And lots of other odds and ends to ensure we have additional ways monitor the spent fuel pool, and added lots of permanent and portable sat phones all over. And there is a regional center that is a joint project the central and eastern USA are all part of, in Tennessee I think, that can fly in more pumps and generators like with 24 hours of an event. So we won't be pulling car batteries to power emergency lights and have no way to communicate and have diesel generators to pump cooling water where needed if some how lost all the existing emergency diesel generators, like Fukushima had to.

As the resident "engineer who works at a Nuclear Power Plant" I can assure you the NPPs of NJ, which happen to keep most the lights on in this state, are very unlikely candidates to be the initiating event cause anyone to bug out/ bug in. If you only knew the true scope and magnitude of improvements being made in response to the Fukushima event on top of the existing safety features of the plant, you probably say either "gee, aren't you taking this a tad over board" or " I'm bugging out to the NPP when SHTF"

This one many reasons why I excerise my 2A rights to the extent the exemptions in our laws let me. Sooner or later unemployment will run out for thousands of casino workers....then what?

I was thinking that was the case, I thought some hospitals had the emergency backup generators in the basement and where flooded. Similar issue was a major contributing factor to fukushima NPP accident as well.

For clarity sake you mean Atlantic County (not Mercer) aka Mays Landing? I just got my FID last year and it took almost 5 months and i then put in for 2 Pistol permits a monther or so after I got my FID and it took almost 3 months. But I'll say this, when I put in paperwork for my FID they asked if I wanted pistol permits with it like they ask of you want fries with a burger from any fast food joint

By long pressing on my post and hitting the pencil in the tapatalk app ;-)

We all understand technology gets the best of all od us sometime, but Mr. Turtle is tired of your crap, lol.

I had a wood clamp and T-square fall of the wall last night right as I was upstairs getting ready to go to bed. Cleared the house twice and didn't notice the clamp till today. What's your most interesting story?

Here is the direct link to the petition: http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/support-brian-fletcher-vs-state-of-new-jersey

Here is a thread this group started that might jog your memory. http://www.njgunforums.com/forum/index.php?/topic/75968-JustifiableNeed.com-&-Citizens-Protection-Act JustifiableNeed.com & Citizens Protection Act

I think the issue working against him is he didn't call the cops after the incident De-escalated, someone else did. Doesn't help build credibility for him even if he was totally was in the right in terms of brandishing in self defense

Here is a short 6 min video with an actual 2A lawyer saying why this ruling won't directly lead to national CCW reciprocity

I think it's all been said, people have to sign in person, so whomever is collecting signatures has to get to the people. I think we have to keep playing to all the non-2A issues that can be attributed as becoming worse u Der sweeney. Remind them that the legislature works for us, is put in office by is and it's our civic duty to let them know they are not happy and fire them when nesscary. (Stroke of genuis....somebody call Trump in!). Being serious again, I think playing to the local/small businesses is key. It would be great to set a both up every weekend at every foodstore, Target, and Wallyworld, but it just won't happen.

I think it's just marry now, lol

Signed it, this is the Allen case all over again, except this guy is a decorated veteran and he actually had to use his firearms in self defense, without discharging them

I hate to say it, but this is why this state (and in soneways country) is the way that it is. There is a sizeable group of People, especially younger crowd (<35), that is more concerned with the Internet, social media, fantasy sports, hollywood, etc, and doesn't want to take responsibility for the real world around them. They vote once every 4 years, if at all and that's that. I'm in my late 20's and been on my own since my mom moved out of state when I was 19 and still in college. My view on the world around me, govt, and politics has changed drastically in that time. Most of the young adults today live at home with their parents or in apartments with friends until their late 20's/ early 30's and don't grow up completely and get a reality check until then.

I support all the rights

Right, if the laws change to require FID for long gun ammo it would be a big deal and we should fight tooth and nail to keep that from happening. But again, I don't think we need to attack midway. If it's that much of an inconvenience to you, send them an email and move on to another company. I think getting Sweeny recalled is the best thing going right now to get these rules/laws off the books so you can buy ammo online from whomever without being asked for FID

Same here, I updated My S5 to 5.0 when it first came out and thought if anything its been working better.

This is just a symptom of our laws. An email campaign to midway won't fix the problem.

And hasn't it been said dozens of times on these very message boards that all Christy has to do is direct the NJSP and AG to revise the administrative code for justifiable need and that would basicly make our "may issue" state a "shall issue" state. We need to get that little known fact out to the masses and make sure doesn't have a shot at moving south in 2017. He is no friend to gun owners. Those pardons, while deserved, are just political strategy. They should never have been charged with a crime in the first place. This woe is me, my legislators have my hands tied crap is just that, crap.

So just saw this, Christopher blames Dems and his hands are tied....bull shit http://news360.com/article/296810499

I would guess we sit and wait and hope this judge isn't in concert with all branches of our state government and some federal judges.

I posted an article on the same story and everyone on post is calling it suspicious and being very paranoid lol. I think this is great personally. Guy would lost his car and possibly his life in NJ
