You may want to pull that wood off and insulate behind it. Also put weather strip on door before installing sill. Wood isn't the best insulator for air. Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk

Any update on Monroe ranges?
If that is true that is ridiculous. My guess is he convinced the owners he would act as RO. However it is a private club. There really isn't a need for a RO. There won't be one there at 3am. If the store really isn't paying rent my guess is there will be a rent paying store sooner than later. Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk

current regs on firearms and ammo
You are being over cautious. If I am bringing a AR to the range or my French MAS Semi Autos I have multiple mags for each. I find it a PIA to load each one when I get there. It's bad enough to have to reload them. Rifle is in a case and mags are loaded in lockbox. Same goes for handguns. If there was these other cases please provide a link to them. As Griz said the guy got off. Being arrested for a fictitious crime is pretty good grounds for a false arrest suit.

The hollow points I originally thought the same way about, but being hollow points are treated like a handgun in NJ I don't know if I would want to test those waters. You may very well be correct. I only really shoot hollow points in 4 firearms and one is a revolver. So they don't bother me as much to load at the range. Edit: The more I think about it@Griz is correct. There really is no reason not to load mags with hollow points either if going to the range or any other permitted location.

I certainly hope the store and instructor are paying rent, or the instructor is working as the RO for free. Reading through the minutes of UHGC approvals the store is open to the public the range is not. The store can not rent firearms to someone off the street or let them try out a firearm unless they are a member of the club. Whether the store can rent to club members I'm not sure, but I don't see why not. I suppose the plan is the store will sell customers on memberships. So in theory they will be beneficial to each other. In actuality I see the range being there long term and a store being there, just not so sure it will be the same store in the future. Just to clarify for others the landlord owns the range. The store is a tenant. Now here is an interesting development. It is rumored another company is in the process of getting approvals for a gun store in Manalapan that is 1.1 miles from the range (less than a mile as the crow flies). Currently they just deal in parts and ammo, not complete firearms or receivers. I don't know if they will get a retail location approval, but theoretically they could have customers pick up ammo at their "warehouse".

Snow Day !!!!
It's official, my office is closed for the day. Kinda cracks me up that 70% of vehicles on the road these days are 4x4, or AWD, suv's, trucks and crossovers, and nobody is allowed to go out because they call this storm a blizzard and declare a state of emergency when only 10" is expected to fall. Has anyone been out on the roads yet? My damn Jura has yet to arrive so I had to go get my Vanilla Flat White. It's Blizzard Conditions and roads are iced over. I wouldn't suggest venturing out.

They can sell hours not memberships. Their approvals were for a public range without retail. It's really just a technicality but how many would pre pay for a public range? Also there is no 24HR access at Recoil. Their approval was for 8am-10pm. So the two ranges are completely different. For the record Recoil can not require NRA membership as part of their zoning approval.

While I enjoyed your blasting of the Self Appointed GM. I must correct you Recoil can not sell memberships. That is why they didn't take any. I suppose they could have pre sold hours but who would buy that? Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk

There is only one owner. Well one family that owns it. The gun shop and training outfit are tenants. I suppose it is more of a range than a club, but that was a restriction put on them by the town. They can not have walkins who rent by the hour. Only paid yearly members so that is what makes it a club Kind of reminds me of the after hours clubs outside NYC. You didn't pay a cover charge you bought a membership. There was one in NJ outside Philly called Balloons or Dukes. Didn't open til 1am closed at 5am then a dive bar down the street owned by the sane outfit opened at 6am.

Mine is even worse. It's the one Federov is a spokesman for made in Switzerland. Got it to drink my Caramel Macchiato, Vanilla Flat White, and White Chocolate Lattes. Too hard to make them in a manual pot. I feel I have earned the right to drink girly drinks. I do at least get triple espresso though I like Ristretto more. Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk

Nowhere in the law does it state magazines can not be loaded. That is some BS overreach that Nappen came up with to make himself look like he knows more than he does and sell more books and tickets. I challenge anyone to show me where the law states loaded magazine 15 rounds or less with ammo other than hollow point or banned ammo types in a lockbox separate from the firearm is not allowed.

Mags can be loaded except with hollow point ammo. Must be separate from firearm. Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk

This semi-old house
Now to correct some of the wrong answers. You never ever ever ever use a Furnco fitting inside of a house. Quick story. An old lady hired a clown jack of all trades contractor to remodel her bath. She had copper drain lines. New tub didn't line up. It rarely does. Clown contractor and his little Home Depot pocket torch couldn't heat pipe to solder. He used a Furnco. Her granddaughter was constantly sick for the next six months. They called us. I walked in the house and immediately smelt sewer gas. That is why you never use a Furnco inside of a house. The correct double banded coupling is allowed, but in the case of the story told we soldered the pipe. Single Navien Tankless water heaters usually do not need the gas line increased. They can also be piggybacked. Size needed depends on fixtures. You can legally drain washer into slop sink. For the water just tee off the hot and cold lines. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I'm going to orientation in the next few days. Today I was told by the owner bring handgun, 10 rounds, eye and ear protection. I will update what was involved with the orientation. No they did not ask for NRA membership proof. Only NJ Drivers License and NJFID. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Ok it doesn't freeze solid (which I did know from my trip there) but it does freeze. Including the water that feeds the falls. Point being water in pipes can freeze even if moving.

Even Niagra has frozen over. To freeze moving water it does take cold and wind. All it takes is one molecule to freeze and another one to build on that. Soon that 1/2" line is 1/4" open. Now flow is reduced and it doesn't take much to freeze that last bit. Still having water moving through the pipes is better than it standing still. Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk

I went by today. Right now it is a 2 step process. They are going in the order of registration. Pre-Construction members first. Takes about 5 minutes to get in the computer system, get you ID Badge, and register your fingerprints. Fingerprint will unlock the doors. It doesn't store your actual print but is an algorithm of your print. Bring Drivers License and FID when you receive email to register. After registering everyone has to go to a 15 minute orientation. Bring handgun, 10 rounds of ammo, eye and ear protection. This is a requirement of the insurance company. IIRC orientation schedule for the next 5 days is Friday 6:30pm, Saturday 1:00pm, Saturday 3:30pm, and Monday 6:30pm. So yes there will be 2 times everyone has to go at a certain time. After that it will be 24/7/365. IMO the owners are very accommodating and I am sure will work with people who have scheduling issues. Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk

I do have to chime in and warn everyone that it isn't 100% accurate that moving water in pipes can't freeze. While leaving a faucet dripping and having a line recirc will prevent freezing most of the time it will not 100% of the time. Over the next couple days I would not count on a dripping faucet or recirculating line not to freeze. Look at the pics of the fountains down south that flash froze. We may have -20 wind chill with 45mph winds. That will freeze even pipes with moving water if the wind blows across the pipe.
