Ha.... Perfect answer!

Crazy... inflation has hit everything. I think I paid like $890 two years ago for mine.

I have one. My FFL pinned the telescoping stock at the position I wanted with a roll pin. Then he drilled and put a set screw at the folding button. Problem solved. Although since then, I converted it to a bullpup like this:

Just like when the NJSP went around inspecting magazines after October 2018 to make sure no one was bringing 15 rounders to the range, and everyone was using 10 rounders?

How many incoming emails get sent to Spam for using the BCC or if they have a Sent From Gmail? I bet there are some really good filters being used on those inboxes.

My advice would be just go get it done (if your previous ones weren't done electronically), so it might make it easier and quicker for the next round of permits.

It was Filthydelphia. They'll probably charge the kid with underage possession of a handgun.

Yeah, me too.... but in another breath, she wants her college loans forgiven...

Exactly!! Which is why I also have fire extinguishers strategically placed all around my house.

Amazon does it on many items. I tried to order Taser cartridges and they claimed they couldn't ship them to me. Apparently they decide internally, what's legal or not.

Yep, there will be plenty of time, AFTER you shoot the perp, to go unlock your safe and unlock your ammo, BEFORE the LEOs arrive. In reality, how many people actually keep their home defense "equipment" readily available, versus just keeping them all locked up in the big safe in their closet?

Wait... hold on a second... I had nothing to do with it...

It might depend on the individual PD. I got my FID originally in the late 70's, then moved around, out of state, etc. I never change the address at that time. Went to do a address change in 2011, in Jackson, and they required the prints to be in electronic form. I basically had to go through the whole process again, just like I was applying for a brand new FID. They saw my existing FID card but apparently didn't want to obtain a copy of the fingerprint card from the issuing PD.

Here's what he said yesterday, you can read between the lines: ....."As a new indoor vaccine-or-mask mandate takes effect in New York state to battle upticks in COVID-19, Gov. Phil Murphy suggested Monday that neighboring New Jersey does not plan to order a similar policy, though he also didn’t rule it out. “Every option is on the table at the moment,” Murphy said during his latest coronavirus briefing in Trenton. “We think what we’ve got in place meets the moment, in terms of masking and what New York is doing. But obviously, all options stay on the table.”

The last time I bought in-store here, was over 10 years ago, at Dick's in Freehold. I remember them manually writing down in a little book the FID card number and what I bought. This was only for handgun ammo, long gun ammo they didn't track.

I don't buy from a local dealer, but online, so I've never needed to log anything. The window is closing to be able to buy online. Strike now, while you can. Many of us saw this coming years ago, and planned accordingly.

Your past prints were probably on paper, which they don't accept, and they want them electronic now. I went through something similar when just doing a change of address. Since my original prints were paper, they made me get electronic prints, just to do an address change. You'll probably need the new prints.

Yep... sadly, writing our local reps gets nowhere, it's just a feel good effort: NJ ASSEMBLY COMMITTEE PASSES ANTI-GUN BILL PACKAGE December 13, 2021. This morning, the New Jersey Assembly Judiciary Committee passed Governor Murphy’s anti-gun bill package that does nothing to punish gun crime and instead attacks Second Amendment rights of honest citizens. Although several legislators expressed “concerns” about issues raised by gun owners, the bills were passed nevertheless, with opposition only from republicans. The package of bills now moves to the full Assembly for consideration, which could take place as soon as Monday, December 20. https://www.anjrpc.org/page/AssemblyCommitteePassesAntiGunPackage

Ahhh yes, let's fix the problem, just give me ANOTHER pill or a shot, yeah, that's the ticket!! Americans are the most overly medicated (and overweight) animals on the planet!! Want to delay Alzheimer's Disease?? Get your ass off the couch, go get some exercise, and do something every day to challenge your mind. Here, directly from Peel's link: ........"People over 65 who rarely exercise are among the most likely to develop the disease, even without any genetic risk factors. Regular brisk walks or bike rides increase production of neurons and dampen harmful brain inflammation. “We’ve discovered that this exercise effect can be attributed to a large extent to factors in the blood, and we can transfer that effect to a same-aged, non-exercising individual,” says senior author Professor Tony Wyss-Coay in a university release.

Yep. The true rate by Treasury Direct is actually a 6 month rate, adjusts every 6 months based on inflation. They advertise it as a yearly return, currently at 7.12% as of Nov. 1. And based on how the Brandon administration is handling the economy and supply lines, my bet it stays at this level or goes up in April.

Or conversely, if inflation screams even higher (most likely), the reset in April could be even higher. I'm actually thinking about gaming the system, and overpaying my taxes by $5K this year, then taking the tax refund the beginning of next year in I bonds. Will get me another $5K in bonds.. Hmmm, if I list poochie as a dependent, and get him a TIN number, I get also pull $10K in his name....

I saw that too, so for a short time investment, you could lose a point or two. But, if the current 7% rate holds for a while, you'd get hit for 1.5% over a year (0.5% a month). Still not bad for a 5.5% or so net return. Still beats a high yield savings account at 0.5% for the year. And, like you said, all your initial investment stays intact, instead of a potential loss in the market.

What bad reviews? I found it to be straight forward and easy to do. Just set up an new account and transfer from your bank. Transfer was done by the next day. No fees. Something else, depending on your tax return status, besides the maximum of $10K a year, you can get up to $5K in tax refunds in I Series Bonds, so it can give you another area to gain the current 7.12% return.

That's an area to be careful of. One reason house prices have gone up is because rates are low. Many people buy "payments" and not 'houses". A realtor always tries to push you to the highest payment you can afford. First they qualify you based on how much you can borrow/afford, then they find the house that fits that payment. Problem is, if rates climb up, house prices will fall, to keep payments in line. You can get trapped with a high priced house you can't sell, like in 2008. House prices ARE nuts. That would be a good plan, save as much as you can for a good down payment, and gain some equity. If rates go up (which I don't think will happen any time soon), you'll have a good equity buffer if house prices come back down. Also, we still haven't seen the complete fallout from the Covid foreclosure and eviction moratoriums yet, and they might have a future factor on inventory and prices.

Looks like CNBC is reading my post here... Also, you can each buy $10K this month, then in January buy another $10K each. And if you have a business, that business can also buy up to $10K a year: ......."Another downside of I bonds is the annual purchase limits. Individuals generally can’t buy more than $10,000 in electronic assets per calendar year. However, with the year-end approaching, an individual may buy $20,000 by purchasing $10,000 by Dec. 31, 2021, and another $10,000 on Jan. 1, 2022, or later." This is exactly what I am doing. https://www.cnbc.com/2021/12/10/couples-can-fight-inflation-with-7point12percent-risk-free-interest-on-40000-.html
