This is the first time I ever walked around my house and property with a loaded handgun on my hip at all times.

 

This. Today was the first for me. Very uncomfortable bulldog holster Igot at the last minute for tonight (no power still so I'm ringing the dinner bell with the generator)

 

My neighbor just fetched her mom from Staten Island. Last night, three guys tried to break into her house. Her grandson was sleeping on the couch and scared the guys off. What the hell?

 

I'm feeling pretty nostalgic for my hometown of SINY. Remarkably low exposure on the media coverage. Remarkably high exposure to the storm surge.

Keansburg had the stands and arcades looted overnight, the machines are lying all over the streets where they were carted off and broken into to get any change, both of the bars on the boardwalk were also burglarized with all of the liquor and cigarettes taken. There were groups going around in both the Burg, and Middletown throughout the night last night taking gas cans, generators, and anythign else that was unattended and not chained down.

Well i'm sleeping with my tv tuned into my home security cam channel watching my cars... weapons loaded. I dare anyone to come near my property and touch my genny or cars for fuel.

Security system with cams is on the very short list of house mods

Greatest investment for $400. 4 cameras with infrared (can see 40 ft away in the dark).. 500gb dvr and also stores on a remote storage location and accessible by iphone/droid devices. Pretty good. But for me and the misses, its nice to know I can watch all around the house and all the entrances (even remotely).

Pm me with where you got the stuff

Bored at work so I turned on the police scanner app I have on my cell phone. The first station I put on the police were chasing someone that had tried to cut a chain on a generator. Unreal

A couple of quick point regarding Bean-Bag or any Less Lethal Rounds fired from a firearm:

 

1. Do not Mix Less-Lethal and Lethal Platforms. Veeeery bad Juju. If you are worried about an ND, leave your shotgun cruiser ready. You are racking a round to get to lethal anyway, why not start on an empty chamber. Rather a *click* than the *boom* from a bean bag (which can be deadly BTW) fired negligently.

 

2. If you need a LL shotgun to persuade 4 legged critters (not commenting on the legality here, or if anyone would actually do this), get a dedicated LL platform. You can get a beater Police trade in 870 for $100 at a gun show. Mark it somehow to make ID easy (paint the stock yellow or orange, Use a pistol grip for LL and a Std stock for Lethal, etc...).

 

3. Anything fired from a Firearm in NJ is lethal force with the same rules, restrictions and criteria for use. That includes Less-Lethal rounds such as beanbags, socks, wooden/rubber bullets, rocksalt as well as standard/lethal ammunition such as slugs, buckshot, birdshot, etc...

 

4. Until recently LL was not allowed in NJ even by LEO. That has changed but the regulations on their use are specific and thorough. LEO's have to be specially trained and authorized to use LL on duty.

 

5. LL/Beanbags are notorious for not stopping bad guys, especially if they are in a condition to not feel pain (High, drunk, delerious, scared, shock, etc...) I have seen people shrug off multiple LL impact rounds to the center of the chest, the legs, the hips and the abdomen, and continue to be aggressive.

 

6. LL should only be used with lethal overwatch/lethal cover and never as a standalone system when dealing with someone that meets the criteria for the use of deadly physical force. Remember, in NJ, you can only shoot someone with a LL round if they meet the same standard as deserving (legally) of lethal ammunition.

 

There is absolutely zero advantages to having Less-Lethal firearm ammunition as a civilian for any self defense purposes in NJ.

 

Be safe everyone. At this time, the best weapon against being a victim in NJ is between your ears. Use your head, trust your gut, and stay situationally aware.

 

Back to another 20 hour day.

 

KPDPipes, be careful brother. I know it is real bad there.

I was at the WAWA on 18 in Old Bridge filling up and the attendant told me wawa got looted. they broke the front window and stole smokes and dutch cigars... That figures!

The one on the corner of 18 & Maple by OBRPC ?

I have a friend in Brick near the water somewhere off Drum Point. He had packed up his wife and kids and put them in a hotel and the next morning he went back to his place and it was robbed. People that would mormally steal from other people thake this as a good chance to steal from more people. Some people just suck!!!

I heard this and cannot confirm but I have heard from multiple sources that the WAWA in Jackson on East Vets had a shooting this morning 2nd over gas. I cannot say this is gospel but I heard it from a pretty good source. I have no other info.

Another confirmation from Bayonne. Apparently the trouble in JC is spilling over into Bayonne. Cops are starting to get concerned about this so BGA.

no not my streets now!

I've got police presence on my street so I'm not as worried (they're there watching the intersections)... but I'm still keeping my stuff staged up.

I would like to see looters try that shit on my block... Im not a SOF or anything but i wont allow it.

Hey, BLF, you and I might not see eye to eye on a lot, but sincerely, stay safe out there. That goes for all our LEO members.

I had not given much thought to something someone brought up earlier on this thread. I know that we can't use deadly force to defend property here in NJ (nor would I want to); but what about in defending our food, water, and other essential items from looters? Anyone have anything to offer on that?

<Snipped> But all good points

KPDPipes, be careful brother. I know it is real bad there.

 

I'm up at a friend's in Belleville. I have a neighbor who is checking on my place once a day, anything of any real value is secured.

Well, I can say in sayreville, that at least the convenience store a block down from me got broken into and had lots of goods stolen last night. we've had some people fighting over gas, but not too seriously as far as I have heard.

 

Got heat and hot water cause my systems are old school, and marginal coverage on the verizon cell int he house. as good as none with the AT&T cell. Someone at JCP&L needs to be shot for not powering off the substations prophylactically. Now they are toast.

I think I would have to take my chances with a jury.

 

Got sent to me from someone at work... i guess this will do haha

I heard its a retired PO that painted that onto his door. Wouldn't mess with him!

Haha yea. I had a freind in brick whos house was looted along with just about his entire street.

Wait you guys, you LEO's, you're saying the AG was lying???? Say it ain't so!

Haha yea. I had a freind in brick whos house was looted along with just about his entire street.

What section of brick?

Not positive he just moved i know he has some type of body of water in his back yard. Sick bastards stole his baby crib and other crap he really needs.

I saw the plywood on the window this morning. I didn't even consider looters. I just figured something smashed the window during the storm. That's WAY TOO CLOSE for comfort.

It was crazy. When the wife heard she actually asked me if I had my guns out and ready. Then when I pulled out two shotguns and three handguns from various places she just shook her head. I'm like the David Blain of guns. Stuff just appears.

 

OMG LMAO!!!
