Battleship New Jersey
Went there back in May for an event with a YT creator. While I wouldn't really recommend it, there's no metal detectors or anything like that on there. So if you accidentally bring it aboard I'm sure no one will really care too much as long as you don't make a spectacle of it.

Paramotor guy.
That's pretty damn high, but I call BS on the claimed altitude of 17,500" since I didn't see anything resembling supplemental oxygen.

FREE Covid Tests - Get them while they're hot.
Ordered mine, since I'm required to test by my employer twice a week for my refusal to get the vaccine. No big surprise that it's going to take forever to see the the things.

What can't you get or hard to find
Well there's the usual supermarket items and ammo. For unique stuff I'm going to say aircraft parts. At work it seems to be the cheaper expendable items that are harder to come by (bolts, screws, sealant, o-rings, etc) than the higher end electronic parts. I know my flying club waited 3 months for a constant speed prop to be overhauled. Conversely a newer upgraded one was given a 7-8 month turnaround time.

Attention Continentals!
Thanks I'll have to see how my schedule is the 12th since I'm stuck working Christmas yet again.

The 114 Year Old Assault Rifle
Believe it or not the Winchester Rifle did end up going to war in France during WWI, albeit in limited numbers. It's more proof that anything can be a "weapon of war" if you will it (I guess we should ban shovels since they were used extensively in trench raiding)

"New" Hunter Safety Live-fire Class - anyone familiar with the details?
I actually just did mine last month at Hudson Farms. The whole session lasted about an hour. While I was given a gun I was unfamiliar with (Remington 1100) the proctor walked me through the operation just fine. I fired a grand total of three rounds as that's how long it took me to hit a clay. It was a very pleasant experience other than the cold wind LOL. They just want to see that you know how to safely handle the shotgun and follow instructions if/when prompted. Personally Ms. Peel I don't think you have anything to worry about it.

Las Vegas gun ranges...
I've shot at Range 702, The Gun Store, and Las Vegas Gun Range. They all have full auto stuff you can rent. Haven't done Battlefield Vegas, but I've heard nothing but good things about the place, so yeah go ahead and do that one. If you don't mind going out side of Vegas, Pro Gun Club in Boulder is a nice outdoor range. They do a lot of sporting clays, periodic taxi cab shoots, and the minute you walk into the club house they have a full service bar right there . If you've got friends out there with guns to borrow there's BLM land designated as shooting areas you can go use.

Old bridge rifle pistol club
The lot for the indoor range is usually plowed out within a day or two. The outdoor range is another story since it's all dirt, including the road into there. As of right now the outdoor is still closed.

done
In regards to the 357 Mag ammo: I'll take it.

Flight Over Monmouth County - Looks like WWII planes
I'm going agree with the guy that called out the Geico Skytypers. They fly the T-6/SNJ Texan. Not a good picture, but from what I can tell that seems to make the most sense, plus I believe the Sky Typers are based in the area.

Clinton WMA Shotgun (and Rifle) Shoot - Sunday 6/28/20
Thanks for the info. If I make it up there I'll make sure to bring a case or two of clays. I've also got a Lincoln thrower I picked up last year that hasn't been put into action yet, so I'm looking forward to trying to use that.

Clinton WMA Shotgun (and Rifle) Shoot - Sunday 6/28/20
I might be able to go depending on whether or not there are enough open vacation spots for that day at work. Is there a cap on the number of guests that someone with a hunting license can bring/escort? I'm asking because I don't have mine and was wondering what the rules over there were.

Modern Matériel Meetup and Range Day at RTSP
This looks good, I've been meaning to try out their stuff for a while so this looks like a good opportunity. Barring some unforeseen circumstances, I think I might actually be able to make this.

Anyone seen these dollars?
No, but I got a $20 from a gas station last month that said "Not to be used for bribing politicians". Sadly like a dumb ass I spent it before taking a picture of it.

You might want to check the microphones in your studio. I can't hear anything your guests are saying on this one.
