While I wait for my FID trying to decide what to get
Used 38 special revolvers are one way to go. You don't have to worry as much with over penetration of walls if you live in an urban setting and revolvers are simple to use and easy to maintain. Finally, a used one is usually a fraction of the price of a new one.

Prep For Quarantine / Pandemic
That makes as much sense as not driving on New Jersey's road between 8pm - 5am because..............you don't want to be driving when no one else is on the road? If a police officer stops me and asks why I'm on the road, I'm liable to say "I just wanted to be sure you're OK".

Prep For Quarantine / Pandemic
Interesting. My ACME's stockage was almost identical to yours......with some exceptions. No poultry (frozen or fresh) was available. Canned tuna and chicken were down to just a few cans. No dairy products at all unless you are counting almond milk as a dairy product(?). I don't normally shop in the area but I figured the ACME would be less crowded than Shop Rite.

Forums slow
I think its slow right now because all of the kids are home. My cable internet, wifi hotspot from work, and my phone if I tether to it, are all slow. The speed is good but there is little bandwidth left.

NH Application
I see Ironically, it was Kathleen Kane's successor that shut down all non-resident permits in PA unless you had a permit from your own state. If you had a NR permit from NH and you lived in NJ, you had a window of about 10 - 11 months in which you could legally carry in PA.

Firearms ID/Pistol Permits system switches to the NJ FARS
If you deal with a State Police barracks, I have found there are two additional steps to the process. Once you've gotten the approval and they type up your FID and/or P2P, a trooper has to make the run to West Trenton to pick up the paperwork. They tend to pick it up in batches, not when every piece of paperwork has been completed. That run usually is once a week, sometimes longer. When it gets to the barracks, it goes to the barracks commander's desk for him/her to sign..............when he/she gets to it. They are not there every day. This has been my experience and what has been related to me by troopers who have been assigned to the barracks I deal with.

Prep For Quarantine / Pandemic
Wow! The Walmart near me is fully stocked as of this morning. The irony for me is that I will be on a plane more than I ever have been since I started with the program I work with. I fly to Texas next week and Kansas in June......so far.

"Suit filed over Sandy Hook-inspired law limiting gun rounds"
I've never understood Connecticut. It is technically a "may issue" state but if you meet their requirements, they will issue you a permit. They stand a good chance of over turning this ban if they argue their case based on what I read above. Its interesting they were not required to turn in their magazines that had a capacity of over ten rounds. They simply couldn't put more than ten rounds in them while at the range.

Apologies to njJoniGuy, I did some editing to his initial post and it captures the spirit of this topic when I saw it in a different thread.

Tabernacle Township: new "sanctuary" for 2A/gun owners
They already "have their way". With their school funding cut, they will have to closed one of their schools.

Tabernacle Township: new "sanctuary" for 2A/gun owners
Last night, by a vote of 5 - 0, the Tabernacle Township Committee approved Resolution 2020-52 "to declare the Township of Tabernacle a 2nd Amendment/Lawful Gun Owner Sanctuary Township". I counted over 100 people attending which was amazing given the size of the room. Committee member Nancy McGinnis introduced the Resolution. Over 35 people spoke during the public comments time period. Theresa Innacker brought several members of her CNJFO group and all did a great job speaking on behalf of the Resolution. The people against the Resolution clearly either did not read it or thought it was designed to circumvent state law. Yes, its symbolic, but we have to start somewhere. Thanks Cliff for the invite. I would not have known (or had a chance to speak in favor) about it otherwise. https://www.townshipoftabernacle-nj.gov/PUBLIC AGENDA - 2-24-2020.pdf

PORK ROLL or TAYLOR HAM!?

Nearly 1 in 3 American workers run out of money before payday—even those earning over $100,000
I didn't learn "personal financial management" in school, it was instilled in me by my parents. Today, my house is paid for, no student loan debt, an auto loan that will be paid in one year, and no credit card debt (I pay it off at the end of the billing cycle, if I can't afford it, I don't buy it). I didn't know it was taught in schools today.

Has anyone done a "RUN & GUN" (Centerfire Competition)?
That reminds me too much of basic training. If I had to do "for real", I could. But that is no longer "fun" for me.

Has anyone done a "RUN & GUN" (Centerfire Competition)?
It is. The difference is, in a winter biathlon, you set out on skis with your rifle slung on your back. In the summer biathlon, the rifle is waiting for you at your shooting position when you get back from your run. At least that's how I remember it.

Has anyone done a "RUN & GUN" (Centerfire Competition)?
About twenty years ago, I participated in a summer biathlon at a range in North Jersey. At 50m, you are shooting at a 11cm plate standing and a 5cm plate in the prone. It was a humbling experience!

4 New Gun Laws Proposed in the House, and 2 in the Senate, is everyone aware?
It happens to them too. Some time ago, A Trenton police officer, living in Lumberton, left his service weapon accessible on his dresser, his four year old got a hold of it and started playing with it. The gun discharged, killing the four year old. I don't remember what happened to the officer other than he was fired.

Concealed Carry "Insurance"
Murphy has weaponized the New Jersey Department of Banking and Insurance which has resulted in four of the six major "insurance carriers" (in the link below) either not allowed to market their products or they have pulled up stakes and left. In the row marked "Available Nationwide?" Three flat out state "not available in NJ". The fourth one is FLP which is marketed in 32 states.....NJ is not one of them. I frequently carry in VA and certain New England states and I had coverage with one of them. The remaining two don't provide for civil damages. Is anyone aware of any other type of "legal defense fund" products out there? https://www.concealedcarry.com/self-defense-gun-owner-insurance-programs-compared/

Can't handle gun IN A GUN SHOP without showing FID card??
Wow, that's interesting. I have bought six handguns in the past two and a half years at six different gun shops and all of them asked for my driver's license and FPID....and the P2P of course.

Kobe Bryant dead...
Mrs. Peel and AVB have a point. Before the internet, you would read such trash and/or tragedies in the National Enquirer and the Midnight Globe, to name two. Those "rags" are pretty much gone now (or not worth talking anymore) and have been replaced by YouTube videos, on-line news outlets, and similar sources. And from the time the incident happens to the time until the time it goes on line in whatever form, it is almost instantaneous. And, of course, the more "clicks", the better for the person posting.

Vehicle Crashes Into Gun Shop In Manahawkin: Anti Gunner?
They had perhaps 10 - 12 or so handguns in the display case and 25 - 30 long guns mounted on the wall behind the cases. Didn't get a good look at the prices of the long guns. A lot of AR platform stuff, some bolt rifles, and pump shotguns. For handguns, Springfield XDM, several Glocks, a few Sigs, and some revolvers. The one that sticks out in my mind was the Springfield XDM at $425. They have a website but their Facebook page appears more current with their inventory. https://www.facebook.com/PK-Firearms-Ammo-Inc-458590830862929/

Too much alcohol or he was on drugs. I was at that gun shop last week.
