Prices goin' up?
I started looking at the beginning of the week and was on GunBroker and they had several that didn't sell as of thursday with min bids of less then $600.00. I went local and got his last one yesterday. They seem to more scarce but prices haven't gone up here yet. http://www.gunbroker.com/item/565486916

Prices goin' up?
I agree there will be lawsuits and it may linger in the courts for years! Have to love folks in NJ just give up and compromise. I doubt most in the other parts of the country would just walk into their local PD and say here.

NRA Endorses Donald Trump For POTUS
Well thanks to the tRump voters who REFUSED to do any research on him we have two choices bad and worse. They do exactly what he poster above did blab BS that just isn't true! Again most will be voting for the lesser of two evils. If we keep COMPROMISING the entire country will have gun laws like NJ.

NRA Endorses Donald Trump For POTUS
You sir are delusional. tRump has NEVER EVER been a staunch defender of the 2nd amendment, NEVER! He has been for an assault weapons ban his entire life UNTIL he decided to con all the RINO'S. While Cruz was arguing for our 2nd amendment rights in front of the SCOTUS tRump was rallying for an assault weapons ban. So do some research and stop you psycho babble. Oh and his kids have been registered D's and like tRump supported Booburg and DeBlassio! Hell they didn't even vote for ole daddy because they didn't know D's couldn't vote for him in NY.

New guy in Jackson looking for advice
What's wrong with Glocks? I for years wanted one just to see how they shoot. I finally bought a used old 1st gen G-30 that was pretty dirty, cleaned it up and if you reload had some issues with length for HP's but this is one of the nicest shooting Semi-Auto I own, smooth and very accurate. I even spent about $30.00 in upgrades and is now my carry gun.

New guy in Jackson looking for advice
You can never go wrong with a 1911, most will shoot forever with little problems. I have a Ruger Mark 1 from the 50's that still shoots perfectly so that's a good choice. I really like revolvers though and kind of always lean back to Rugers SA. Good Luck!

New guy in Jackson looking for advice
Hello from an X-Jacksontonian. When I got my first permit in Jackson about 1990 they had a Public Safety Director who was Pro-Gun and if you went in a talked to him you would have your permit in a few days. Even back then that was awesome. A short time after that they hired an Illiterate young woman who was a relative of an Anti-Gun nut and she would just take applications and throw them right in the trash in front of you. She had a title of Identification Bureau Chief. She tried to implement the form where you had to list the SS numbers and ID of everyone who lived in your home and would do a check on them. I was one of the few who forced the stop of that. They had a republican woman mayor(appointed) who was crooked as h*ll and I worked endlessly to get rid of her, her son would run my mailbox over regularly and the law refused to ever even charge him at her request. She was short lived in Jackson. The next mayor wasn't much better, knew him and was just as crooked and from what I hear they have had mayorial problems ever since. I finally left the state in 2002. Good Luck!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes, another post by me; this one about GUN SAFES
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Yeah we laugh now but that was one door we couldn't pick up to swing open. The door was about 6" thick and I'm sure solid metal, I am sure the government spared no expense so it was probable a good one. Ole Uncle Joe bought a diesel generator with a 6 cylinder motor still wrapped up never used for 2- $300.00 back then. He used it for years on his farm. I once bought a pallet full of HVAC parts for $75.00 had to have thousands in parts in it. There was probably thousands of Honeywell and W-R parts still in original un opened boxes, gas valves to thermocouplers to circular pump relays and hundreds of contactors and relays. Does anyone know if they still have these auctions? This was when you could of drove yourself into the bases and just walked thru the storage areas and look at the merchandise.

LOL my own safe story, OK I'll embarrass my self here. Who remembers the government auctions when they had the book the size of a 1" phonebook back in the late 80's early 90's? I do... had a friend buy some really nice stuff super cheap at Picatinny Arsenal so he said you know they safes. I was building a new home I sad Ok sounds good, they had a double door measuring about 72"x60"x30" deep, cool I put a bid of like $30.00 and won, awesome. Well you had 24hrs to remove so I get a trailer and 3-4 friends and drive to get it. OK this is where dumb sets in. It was laying down on it's back. We couldn't even pick up one of the doors open. We couldn't move it. So some guy comes over in the hugw forklift with 4' tires and said I'll put it on the trailer but guarantee the tires will pop or axle will break. Needless to say I donated to our government. '

You can always invest in a security system with cameras. I know it's to late by that time but at least a piece of mind and helpful it they're on camera.

As you mentioned I am more scared now that Trump has said many times he don't need conservatives yet offers his hand to the Bernie crowd. Makes one go hummm?

NRA Endorses Donald Trump For POTUS
Lived in NJ most of my life, collected signatures for Whitman when John Lotts report came out, remember she promised to overturn the Florio gun ban, collected signatures and was there when they were left in the rain for the auto ins. debacle. I mentioned in another thread NJ residents are special when it comes to taking it in the rear! I had a friend from childhood I just last Aug told to leave my house here in NC and lose my number. He's called a hundred times, Oh well. He lives in Nj and refuses to even join the NRA, still votes for anyone wiling to give him free stuff and he's not poor. Just retired on $70,000.00 plus a year. Another has an FFL at the Jersey Shore and has been great to me with really great deals but voted for ole Bill Clinton and thinks oBlamer is the best. So I gave up on these type folks and left. So I hear the frustration, NJ gun owners if they would get off their butt could do a whole lot. But as I said they are special. Not all still have a very good friends who I visit yearly and some come here regularly.

Comment about the safes with the electronic combos. If the safe is in a fire and the combo melts off how do ya get in? I have a friend who is a locksmith and he swears he can get in any safe with the electronic keypad. I have a 200 year old safe with 4" walls stuffed with white hard powdery stuff, asbestos I'm figuring, the locksmith who showed me how to change the combo swears no one will ever get into it. Why not look for an older one with the old combo lock?

NRA Endorses Donald Trump For POTUS
What to say!! I know it doesn't matter much but the same kind of folk who vote for tRump voted for oBlamer. They think there will be this mysterious CHANGE the second they pull the lever. I hate to say it THEY are low educated and tRump knows it and plays to them. If anyone did any research on tRump they would know he is as liberal as Clinton. There was only one republican who fought for our 2nd amendment while tRump was for the assault weapons ban his entire life and tRumpsters made fun of him and called him a liar! So when or if conservative don't vote for tRump don't run and Blame the cons blame the tRumpsters for refusing to do the research and living off soundbites. If you don't think tRump, Carson, Christie or Giuliani and the rest of his anti-gun followers will cave to the left on guns you are delusional! Remember tRump now says what he says are only suggestions and he will compromise! I am so mad/depressed/ashamed of those who vote in this country I could just throw my hands up.

Think Gun Confiscation Can't Happen Here? Think Again...
I have heard many on hear say it won't happen. We'll see, just look how many things are now illegal in NJ. If they find one illegal item that will be reason to take everything else.

Are You Leaving NJ in the Next 5 Years?
Spartanburg is a rough area, stay a few miles outside and you'll be fine, some places are cheaper then here. There is plenty of middle class work there, BMW, Amazon and inland port I think they call it. Asheville is mostly liberal and wants to be known as SanFran east. Plenty to do but expensive to live there with little work outside a large hospital. Go west or east and even south of there it's cheaper. Good Luck! Let us know what you think.

Are You Leaving NJ in the Next 5 Years?
I moved to WNC more than a dozen years ago and this is redneck central. LOL I have never had problems with the locals and you can tell I'm a yank from word one. I will tell ya this if you want to be harassed move here and start acting like one, they HATE yanks who move here then think they're rednecks. I had a neighbor who I thought was a local for sometime he dressed like John Wayne and talked with a drawl you couldn't understand, I wondered why he had such a hard time with the locals then another local told me he was from NJ. LOL He ended up moving. Best move I ever made. My taxes are 1/25th what I was paying in NJ with 4 times the property on the side of a mountain, my auto ins is 1/5th. Oh I can walk into a gun store and walk out with whatever I want also, Here if you have CHP no need for anything else and nearly everyone I know has one. Oh and i shoot off my front deck whenever I want to. Oh one last story the yank I mentioned above once called the law on us shooting skeet right in the middle of my property, the deputy got out asked what kind of shotguns we were using took a few shots and now stops by when he gets the chance or knows we are shooting. Secret here is just don't act like a redneck if you are a yank.

NRA Endorses Donald Trump For POTUS
No just the opposite actually. I/most conservatives have voted our entire life in every election. Problem is it's ALWAYS for the lesser of two evils. In NJ you must know this since your most conservative governor in my opinion is a liberal, and lets not forget Whitman the biggest gun backstabber ever. We are always voting for the likes of McCain for POTUS or the likes of Romney and now we have tRump most likely the most liberal republican candidate to run for POTUS in my lifetime. The R's caused this by allowing the OLD to stay in power and not allowing the party to move to the right as most want it to. Come on look at the R leaders, McConnell, Boehner, McCain! These guys should be in a nursing home someplace!

Backlash on Katie Couric supported gun documentary...
This is nothing new. You NE folk remember Joe Scarborough on channel 4 news. I remember back 25 or more years ago him doing stories about a knife murder and there was a picture of a gun in the caption next to his head. Just the liberal LSM is all!

Backlash on Katie Couric supported gun documentary...
I watch everything on the internet for FREE, all sports, movies within days of when the come out and any TV series going back to the 50's when ever I want to watch them. I use my computer but a friend just bought a box that's nothing more then a hard drive with win 10 on it and you can record.

Wrong Way driver
S Same here in WNC, see it once a week just not on the interstate though, here we have plenty of roads separated by a wide median with stores and such in the middle. Nearly every one going the wrong way is over 80 yrs old and has either a SC or Fla plate.
