Since you look like you're in the business i have a question for ya. Here in WNC we have a few yards who aren't even taking scrap at this time saying prices are to low. Are you up there getting picky also?

Of course ones you bought in NJ. They know. Been thru the BS and had to come up with the NEW owner of the firearms. I held out for a while and sat in jail until I did. All were legal just didn't want to bring a friend into it but he didn't mind which is why he agreed to take them in the first place.

In NJ they know every gun you purchased and if it comes up they will want to know where they are(paper trail) or they will consider you still having them.

He was for the assault weapons ban his entire life until he decided to run for president. Well tRump did endorse DeBlasio for mayor of NY, not much to say about his stance on guns and since his kids couldn't voter for their own dad in the NY primary because they've been reg dems for sometime one would surmise they also supported deBlasio. Although when it came up during a debate he said he didn't support him he was just cheering for him. LOL Of all the pro 2nd amendment folk out their he seems to surround himself with anti gunners is all. I personally think he will compromise somewhere along the line. I just don't see a leopard changing their stripes after thinking one way for 50 plus years. Not only that but he has supported anti-gun politicians his entire life.

We have no guarantee that tRump will not revert back to his assault weapon ban rhetoric once elected. Remember "Everything I say now is a suggestion" and he is willing to compromise. His words. Just maybe his compromise will be to eliminate all semi-autos in all cities like Carson is now touting, or full registration of every gun like Giuliani wants? OOPS forgot current NJ governor who's only reason for getting into politics was to eliminate guns.

DYFS can be worse than the law and your guns. The first thing I did when I filed for divorce was get guns out of my name and home. dyfs made sure they made it hard to keep my job as well as embarrass my kids at school. They walked right into where I worked and right into my office more than once while in a meeting. They also pulled my kids out of school several time without ever notifying me. NOTHING ever came of it but I know it was part of my being fired. I was told by a superior the place I worked didn't want NO LIABILITIES involving guns. Their point is to embarrass you into saying something that just isn't true. Worked out for me, was one more reason to leave the state.

Do we have much of a choice? I don't like tRump and can't stand him, he's nothing but a conman who is laughing his ass of at our stupidity. I do hope and pray though he does some of what he said before he changes his mind yet again. He is surrounding himself with anti gunners though in Carson, Giuliani and even Christie to just name a few.

OK here we go I will be chastised and ripped but I don't care. The reason NJ gun laws are so bad is because so few care, so many cave first chance they get. I was on another NJ board for years about a decade ago and some were so freaken scared the board just went defunct. Every few weeks somone else was selling their guns or just not shooting any longer. Really how can a man live in such fear in the US of America. If that's the way you look at guns do like the poster above, sell them and take up badminton or what ever the STATE TELLS YOU you can do because you can't do much else anymore. I left NJ years ago one was firearms the other in the town I lived in you couldn't even start a dirt bike in your own garage without 6 police cars showing up. I had several pig roast a year by the time I left you needed a permit, yes the law showed the last one I had looking for a permit. Just like here with guns when we got together and tried fighting some of the ordinances most of my neighbors caved and just sold the bikes, REALLY to live such a life is just pathetic. We would reload all winter long and shoot in the summer about 8-10 of us, by the time I left there was three of us. I was one of the dunces who gathered signatures back during the con Whitman's term, SO MANY even back then just said oh it's not worth it. You know folks you can't live your life in fear everyday, what's next your pool is to big so you have to fill it in 6", or your trampoline bounces to high no more then 3" bounce. Just don't get it. One example is where I live now they tried to put in a government run outdoor range that we were were initially told was to be open to the public. Once it was started that changed. Every neighbor fought it and it didn't get built as it was supposed to be. Did they build one? Yes but on our (the neighbors) terms.

Can't believe this is even a conversation topic. Figure it's one of the reasons I left NJ.

Not that it matters to survivalist but most homeowners policies do not cover gold, silver platinum or cash. Another words money. I am redoing my insurances now and here in NC the only ones who do want riders and appraisals every year so better have a good safe or bury it where it can't be found.

Maybe my reading comprehension isn't well but what are they suing him for? OK more to the story. http://www.snopes.com/target-sues-hero-stabbing/

I have gone thru a few banks in NJ before I left because there fees and lack of service. When I moved to NC I found a small local bank with only half dozen branches. In 13 years I have never had an issue. I had a revolving home equity type business loan. I walked in one day and they called me in the office to tell me they lowered my interest rate, nothing to do not even a signature they just hit a few buttons on the computer. As for the coins my family has a 5 gallon water jug that we fill about every 2-3 years and many places are doing away with the machines but we still have a branch you can drop it off and come back later for your money. Small town bank is what I would look for, forget the big banks!

I'm sure he does. Would you hire him knowing the media will be all over your work place 24/7 along with Sharpton an Jackson?

My first thought was well why not do it right the first time. I worked for an HVAC contractor, Plumber and a builder before going out on my own. And the waste of MONEY was amazing just for a few hours work. I also did trim work for a while also which is how I started hanging cabinets. Try hanging a door with the proper reveal and level when the opening is off an 1.5". The contractors loved the changes$, the builder usually just made it an extra and made a few bucks. So when I went out on my own I knew all the tricks so to speak. All the things we talked of when the house is being framed is pennies compared to moving a stove, sink or even a dishwasher when the job is complete. The worse contractor I ever worked for was a HVAC co. I was roughing in a 6,000 sq.ft custom built home so I had the print and it said to put a supply 7' 8" off a wall which was in the middle of a room, assuming it was wrong I put it straight out in the wall about three feet away. My boss YELLED at me like a rabbit rat! He said you cost me hundreds of dollars just on one run, of course me being green said Huh. LOL His point was we work by the blue print and I should have put it in the middle of nowhere, see then when the GC seen it he would his company get a callback and charge time and material to move it. LOL I left a few days later after seeing some of his money making tricks.

This is a Graboid. When my oldest was younger watched nearly every saturday for months.

I hear ya. Nothing more then scrap wood laying around anyway and a handful of nails or screws if i did it. You knock time off the install and the cabinets will never fall for less than an hour labor from the start. LOL As for bathrooms my problem was always the pedestal sinks, They are on the prints most of the time and there's no wood to secure it to the wall. I've cut sheet rock up many time only to here the GC whine why did you do that. Sounds like you do/did good work, the little things no one ever sees is what shows work people do! No one ever knew we spent extra time blocking kitchens and baths do they?

Just the way things are is all. Contractors now a days do thing the easiest and cheapest way. I started out as a HVAC contractor then spread into doing just about anything. Even hung cabinets in a few hundred houses and contractors are clueless. They wouldn't even block kitchens for cabinets by the time I stopped doing them. A few thought I was crazy when I complained. I also have laid out many many kitchens between doing the HVAC, plumbing and cabinets. The hardest thing to do is explain to a woman how a kitchen shouldn't be laid out, they are always right and I have re-done more than one kitchen after a house was completed. The biggest thing was stoves and refrigerators, they always want then over there out of the way, until they start cooking every day and whine the refrigerator is to far away from the stove or sink. LOL Second biggest change was the supply register they insisted putting under the sink kick plate. And the one that I took out 100% of the time was the A/C reg they insisted putting in the bathroom. Removed 99 out of every hundred they insisted I put in. Lay your kitchen out anyway you want then ask the contractors their opinion.

Did HVAC work much of my life and unfortunately had to make adjustments all the time. I used 26g sheet metal. Yours came much better than most I've seen for sure.

Both available on Amazon. OK I ordered them after stalling for a few minutes. LOL From what I have read and common sense about 60% or more of us would be dead with in a few months. With the meds I take I may be one of the first to check out. Especially when the pacemaker battery dies, well actually I figure it just may not work. Hummmm!

I also grew up IN NJ, Kept moving further away from the BS but it just follows ya. Unfortunately in NJ people are just used to compromising and dealing with things, I'm not. Firearms are a big part of my life and I just couldn't do it in NJ any longer. I tried, I collected signatures, I went to meetings, I helped with elections. BUT to many in NJ are just satisfied. There were three of us who used to reload, BS guns and shoot regularly, as things got worse one bought a cabin in NY state just to shoot, I moved here and one was a liberal and just took it. Good luck with your future move.

I'm in Western NC mountains. I joined the forum because I do have just a few ties to NJ. Many are pro second amendment but have just given in. We have plenty of that but it would have to be used to keep others away more than anything. I thought I was so good with what I have but reality is no one will have enough unless you have a HUGE warehouse. Me and another family are prepared together, but you know how much food you need just bare min. for 12 people when others are killing for it? It will not be pretty! We thought barrels of rice beans and other food was enough, not. We do have spring heads all over though. LOL

It reality was amazing! Especially when you know every area and bridge they are talking of! People have NO IDEA how much of the population would DIE with a few weeks of NO POWER. Most big cities would literally die off with in weeks. Just think 8 million people in NY city with not only no food and water but the sewage would be in the streets within days. Until I read that book I was naive enough to think I could survive with ALL my food and access to water and game. All game would be gone in a few weeks right down to the squirrels and chipmunks. Including the farmers with cattle. And I live in a very desolate area so I could imagine the big cities.

Fair enough but is that Gun Brokers call? Did he say that in the ad? I seen it then it was gone by the time I went back to check the wording. The thing is they caved to PC.

Read the book One Second After. It takes place right here in my backyard. You won't put it down.

I may be the odd man out but I like the Shop-Rite brand myself. Here in WNC you can get Taylor's Ham. We went into a Bagel joint once who claims to be famous NY/NJ style. My daughter ordered a pork roll, egg and cheese on a bagel. I mean her tongue was watering. When it arrived it had a funny taste to it. We unwrapped the sandwich and the PR was funny looking so we asked the woman behind the counter how they cooked it, THEY MICROWAVED it. LOL I explained they had to fry it and we were told that's not how it's done in Jersey. Never did return their. The bagel was uneatable.
