Though largely an anti-gun ownership station, right now Dennis Malloy and his co-host on 101.5 are tackling the topic of why law-abiding NJ citizens have an impossible task getting carry permits, and the legal pitfalls associated with all of the anit-gun legislation in this state (ex: Brian Aiken).

 

Dennis sounds like a good dude on this topic; don't know if he owns/carries, but he sure has the right attitude.

PS: Damned bandage on my finger made me hit "101.6" on the header...sorry

Dennis does not carry - but he's been very pro-gun.

If your not near a radio, you can listen live on www.nj1015.com

I still say the NJ2AS and other groups should get together with a phone campaign on Thursday's when the Governor is on (if they still do that each week) and hit him live on the radio with well thought out list of questions.

 

I say a group of 50 people call in from there home or where ever they are with a list of 50 different questions in hand, they all listen an go through the questions 1 by one in order. Do it each week as a group and maybe we will reach a larger audience when most of the calls coming in are PRO 2A & PRO Gun related. Might make the station's audience start to take notice.

 

Remember the squeaky wheel get the oil, and we all know what the Governors position really is, but if he starts to notice that there are as many of us out here as there really are, or at least a perception that we may be a bigger voice, well voices are votes and no matter what, every politician is looking for votes.

It's their "Ask the Governor" program - it's on once a month.

Wow pro gun on public radio? That's a shocker to me.

Can't listen now, but maybe they have a re-broadcast

online or something.

Ok, once a month then..

It's not public radio...just NJ101.5, which is owned by the same outfit that puts out the liberal rag The Star-Ledger, making it at least mildly-shocking to hear a pro-gun stance on their air. But again, Dennis is a free-thinker and spot on with his comments today.

Huh? NJ101.5 is owned by Townsquare Media. They have no affiliation with the Star Ledger. They've always pushed towards more level headed press anyway - like the Asbury Park Press.

Dennis has commented several times about going hunting and even going to a range {SS?}with his co host Judy and having a ball.

OGAM

ONE GOVERNOR A MONTH

LOL

Would they let us on Ask the Governor? I'm sure they heavily screen the calls and pick and choose what he answers.

They do screen the calls, all radio station do, and they are on a delay from what I understand, but if it's truly an ask the Governor show, then any valid question should be allowed, especially being one of the ones most dear to us is only # 2 after the 1st A and can they really not allow the 1a and 2A to not be allowed to be exercised on the show!!

This.

This.

 

So much for the 1A & 2A huh..

Yup. You're 100% correct and sorry for the misinformation: they do indeed own the slightly-less liberal Asbury Park Press.

Clearly you will need to pull a fast one on the screeners. You should claim to be interested in property taxes, government employees paying their fair share of health care, schools, etc.

Yeah, but there's that 5 second delay,ample time to hit the dump button.

Just tell them the truth. 50 people calling asking about guns over and over again there is at least a better chance of them picking one gun related question even if it is one of the softer ones.

for a state with so many registered gun owners, you'd think we'd ban together and start nailing pols to give us more freedoms. I think the problem is gun owners are so fragmented and lacking in the effort. I heard there were 700k registered gun owners in NJ. If so, I can't imagine that a united front would not be a force

Let's do it. If they block us then so be it. We might as well try. Here is the link to the Ask the Governor page at 101.5.

It doesn't list a date yet for January, but has a link to submit questions and the phone number to call in during the show.

I've listened to a number of the "ask the guv" shows and there have been folks patched through asking about gun policy. Not sure if they had to pull a fast one to cheat the screeners but they also didn't get the "dump button" either. In fact, it was one of these callers that asked about him tightening down on gun laws and Christie saying he wouldn't entertain anything that crosses his desk.

Two things.

 

Screeners are usually told to screen for what the person to be asked has already identified as a topic they wish to discuss. They come armed and prepared to answer certain things so they make sure the questions jibe. Who knows how this station does it, but that is how most do.

 

Second, this guy has already said he is waiting for something to come to his desk. What else do you feel you need to hear? What else do you think he will say that he hasn't?

 

 

Seems to me that there are other places that would be better to call than a guy that has already passed the buck to the rest of the state govt.
