The brew guy

IIRC, CC once commented that he would never "abuse of executive orders" the way Obama did, that he did not think EOs were a good idea in general and that he is against issuing EOs. We might be better off taking that phrase out of our questions. It would seem that changing the administrative code can be done without so much as an EO. so why ask for an EO? I wonder if we could come up with enough "listener requests" to get the station to try to set up a show with CC and another guest together, A guest like Nappen or Bach?

Two days later and still no change. I hope the rest of you are having better luck.

Thanks for pointing out that this is a new video. I'll be sure to pass this on on as well.

I first saw this on FB a few days ago and have been sharing it a few times a day ever since. We need to have people see this and share our own horror stories so the nation knows what's going on here.

It's just the criminal check part and it was phased in last winter/spring. You still have to go through the usual process for the rest. IIRC, for my last batch of permits, I went to the town not knowing they were using this site yet and they gave me instructions on what codes to use to make sure the results are sent to the right place. I'm sure the same info is available on the site.

All our stuff is probably on the same truck, and the truck is stuck under a low bridge or went into a lake or something. Middletown VA? CMP ammo, Lalo?

Well sure, you say that now... In a few years when you're only in state a few days out of the month, I'll revive this thread

I just gotta vent. I thought UPS was bad, but now Fedex is starting to suck too. I was thrilled when I got a tracking number on 12/2, I thought it would take much longer. I was thrilled even more when tracking said delivery would be "12-4 by end of day." It started to go downhill on Friday morning when I saw that there had been no updates since 4:10pm the day before and my parcel was still in VA. Worse, when I got home from work at 6, it still hadn't changed. Around 7 the ETA had changed to "No scheduled delivery date available at this time." What good is getting a new toy if you have nothing to feed it?

I had a car that would suck down a quart and a half in a 25 minute session. No smoke, nothing in the coolant, just a little blow-by out the dipstick tube from the collapsed ring on the #1 piston. I found out the hard way that they left the rev-limiter off of my new software when I realized that I was well past redline on the back straight at Pocono. Actually, I still have the car, just has a new motor in it, the old motor is buried somewhere in my garage.

Surf Taco style....

That would help us in NJ more, OTOH, that would require the federal government to step in and overrule something that has always been considered the jurisdiction of the states. Throwing out "home rule" is a slippery slope.

National reciprocity could result in the elimination of non-resident permits, the theory being that there would be no need once your resident permit is recognised in all states. The result would be that out-of-staters could carry here and we'd be out of luck everywhere. Be careful what you wish for.

I'm not so sure. So far CC's been about as much help as Weinberg. If you compare his actions (as opposed to talk) to Obama's actions, Christie is the bigger anti. Those who blindly assume that an R is pro-gun and a D is anti-gun are clearly fools. If you are going to be a one issue voter, it is wise to check where a candidate stands on that issue.It is true that the candidate in the R column is more likely to be on our side, but it's far from 100%. Turning NJ red is a pipe dream, it just ain't gonna happen and with the likes of CC, it wouldn't help. You want to make change in the voting booth, find the pro-gun candidates on either side of the aisle and get behind them. Face it, NJ is more likely to elect a few pro-gun Ds, than it is to elect significantly more Rs. Remember, we are one of only a few states that deny us our rights, plenty of blue states are 2a friendly. Constitutional Carry is also known as Vermont Carry because it originated in that (blue) state.

A good place to start might be the vendors on the forum. I think most would be willing to print out a well designed flyer (I'm sure many would be willing to supply the time, paper and toner need to print out a few dozen copies) and put it on the counter. They could even throw one in the bag with each purchase. There are already a few sheets of paper that they have to include with each firearm sold and the flyer for the forum would probably be of more interest than any of the state mandated ones. Sure, there are those that throw out all that crap without reading any of it, but I bet we'd pick up a few members.

Read, a lot. I bought my first press around the first of the year and have had to figure it out for myself. I started with a couple books on reloading and read them before choosing my equipment. I also watched a lot of videos to help me decide which press to buy. Once my press came, I found videos to help me set it up and then picked up a few reloading manuals. I've got a number of test loads (.45 acp) under my belt and have loaded another 50 rounds as a "production test." I'm still a beginner, but I'm making progress. Start, or keep on reading and watch videos and you'll be on your way. Edit: Not knowing what you've read, I'll suggest a few of the books that I started with. I found "The ABCs of Reloading" helpful and the Hornady and Lyman manuals are both worth their weight in gold.

I've got a bunch of Springfields, 7 rounders in both blue and SS and no problems with any of 'em. I've also got a couple Colt (7 rd) and a few CMC (8 rd) and they've also had no problems. Other than the followers and the Colt logo stamped in them, they appear identical. OTOH, I have a Springfield 10 round SS that has been nothing but trouble. I can't recommend that one.

You can never have enough 1911s.

NYPD might not go by what NJSP says is, or isn't HP.

Thanks, made it to the bank today and got it taken care of. I joined online a couple weeks ago and must have deleted the receipt email. Fortunately, my membership card, etc., came yesterday so I was able to put everything together today. Got it ready to go out shortly after the mail came, I guess it's going out on Monday.

I guess I'm back to finding a notary.... (And waiting for my GCA membership to come)

I meet all the requirements to purchase from CMP, but have never do so before and have never submitted the documentation. I had planned to purchase an M1 Garand from them so I downloaded the forms and made sure I covered all the requirements, but I got lucky with a good deal for the rifle. Now I just need ammo and the accessories and CMP has pretty good ammo prices. Can I order from the eStore without having submitted all the documentation, or do I still need to send it all in?

With the current state of technology, I'd say the phone is not going to be the limiting factor. It wasn't that long ago that a high end DSLR had "only" a 5 mp chip, now you can get a 5-8 mp sensor in even a cheap phone and over 20 mp in some high end models. Lens quality has improved drastically over the years as phone manufacturers have come to understand that consumers actually care about picture quality. Most phone cameras are now only held back by their software and that is improving quickly and there are workarounds like camera apps or manual adjustment. It's not just the still pics, 4K video is pretty impressive too. I'd go so far as to say that, as with film or serious digital equipment, the eye is more important than the camera. Nice pic, you have the eye that most of us wish we had.

RTSP is 40-45 minutes most days. I also use the PA SGL in Tobyhanna PA with a friend who lives out that way but it's an hour and a half. I've been meaning to check out EFGA, but that's also an hour and change. Maybe Somerset County will open up to new members someday, it would be great to have something within a half hour.
