Update this morning on potential ice. Seems the NWS has moved the ice line down, and isn't sure on amounts. Here's the chart: Also, here's the latest snow fall prediction:

I don't run my generator the normal way, by firing it up and letting it run all day. I usually run off of batteries/inverter for normal lights, TV etc., and only fire up the generator to recharge the batteries and get the fridges cold again. This way, the genny only runs for a hour or so at a time, and a few times a day. I can get almost 3 days from one 20 lb tank with this method. Otherwise, I think continuous run time on one tank (4 gallons) is like 10 -12 hours, based on load.

Those are probably the same guys who got busted for having 15+ round mags.

I did something similar. I have the 12v batteries, inverter and some solar. If power went out when I wasn't home, wifey wouldn't attempt to hook up the generator. If she needs lights, she knows where the lanterns are and she can easily run an extension cord to the inverter, to plug in what ever she wants. If it's cold, she can fire up the gas fireplace, which heats half the house.

If you can "prove" your destination is a range, no matter where it is, you'll be fine. Some guys have said, when they travel to PA with the firearms, they enter in a local range in their GPS near where they are going. In the case they get stopped along the way, they'll just point out that they're heading to the range, even though they passed a few already. Also, one other recommendation. Keep a copy of the COE form in your bag you received for the handguns with you. This is just another helpful point if you ever get questioned about ownership of them.

Same here. When I moved to the new house, I installed a transfer switch at my panel, so it makes it easy to feed certain circuits. Actually never had to roll the Genny out since then, except to regularly test. I also bought a propane generator, so I don't need to worry about gas going bad or scrounging around to find it. This generator runs off of standard 20 lb propane tanks, and propane never goes bad and I don't need to worry about gummed up carbs from old gas. Plus, in a pinch, if I run out of tanks in a SHTF situation, just about every backyard in town has 20 lb tanks for their grills. Plenty to "pick up" during midnight runs.

I agree with this. At first I figured no problem. But then thinking further, and the laws in the state, the stop at the BIL house is a deviation. That would be an area of concern.

And this is why there's concern with ranges: A 21-year-old man shot himself and died at the range in 2015. Two months later, a 28-year-old man also shot himself and died at the range. Both deaths were ruled to be suicide and isolated incidents. What if they wanted to take someone else "with them" standing nearby?

Here's the story: A man "accidentally" shot himself in the leg Wednesday afternoon while at a gun range in Randolph, police said. The condition of the man, whose name was not released, was unknown Thursday, but there was no indication in the initial report that his injury was life-threatening, Lt. Christopher Giuliani said. "It was definitely accidental," Giuliani said. "He was on the range and was holstering his gun when it went off and shot him in the leg." https://www.dailyrecord.com/story/news/crime/morris-county/2019/01/17/man-accidentally-shoots-himself-leg-randolph-gun-range/2598351002/

Not anymore... got some tips?

Only a little bit longer, until wifey's mom takes a dirt-nap, then we're gone... I'm packing my bags and on my way!!!!!!!

Indoor stalls are really getting old too. Being "locked" into a 3 foot wide closet, only able to shoot a paper squares get boring too. Plus, when the knucklehead in the next stall takes out his .223, that just makes all the more "fun". This is why I'm searching for some private property in the area to buy. So we can set up our own range, with different types of targets and different tactical situations. That would be a lot more interesting and have more freedom.

Thank you for finally recognizing that!

If we're going to have snow, I rather it be a big one, instead of this 2" - 3" crap. Go big or go home. Now, regarding Florida... that is truly sounding better and better (for many reasons) than living in CrapHole NJ.

I agree with you, that's also why I'm not really comfortable at public ranges either. It just takes one small error by the guy in the next stall or table..... and it could really ruin your day.

You do know this is Winter, right? Doesn't it snow every Winter? Listening to the news, it appears some people have really short memories, if they don't remember what happened a year ago. When I was a kid..................

That's true. I figured it out and corrected it two days ago.

The latest "guess", as of 3:45 PM today for the state: And if you're a DOOMER, here's a highest end prediction:

Here's a better idea:

Here's the current prediction chart. I picked a point in the middle of the state. Looks like the biggest deal is the temperature drop Sunday night. Boy, having some "Global Warming" would really be nice right about now!

Seriously, I'd suggest you take off your rose colored glasses. Maybe in the Western side of the state, it might be like that. The state is turning "Bluer" each year. Don't believe me? How did you end up with a Democrat for Governor, if the state is so pro 2A? You also had McAuliffe before him.

Exactly what I was thinking... Just make sure there's only 10 eggs to the carton, wouldn't want to get into any trouble.

Yes, if you purchase them and block them in a "Free" state, then bring them in as 10s, you'll be fine.

Little by little, cut by cut, piece by piece, the 2A community keeps getting neutered and turned into criminals by politicians....... Washington state on Tuesday deemed an insurance program branded by the National Rifle Association (NRA) illegal. Washington’s insurance commissioner Mike Kreidler said in a statement that he was seeking $177,000 in fines from two companies who sold the now-banned NRA “Carry Guard” policies in the state. Washington state law prohibits insurance that covers criminal activity. "When it comes to insurance products associated with the NRA, it’s buyer beware,” Kreidler said in his statement. “The attempt to insure a criminal act is a rip-off for consumers. The policies sold are deceptive and dishonest. I would be remiss as the state’s insurance regulator if I didn’t shut them down.” How about that, defending and protecting your family and yourself is now a "Criminal Activity" in Washington State. Washington became the second state to ban NRA-branded insurance, following a move from New York last year. Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) encouraged other states to consider banning the insurance and told financial institutions and insurers not to work with the gun group. https://thehill.com/homenews/state-watch/425676-washington-state-deems-nra-branded-insurance-program-illegal

Just wondering... will they be serving lunch?
