Re: Man Sues BMW Motorcylce for PERSISTENT Erection

It will be hard to win that suit. There should be stiff penalties for people who bring frivolous lawsuits.

Because I have my wife and teenage children at home, I am reminded daily of how cognitively impaired I am.

Re: Pistols

That comes with 17 round mags, right? In NJ, we're limited to 15 round mags, which is what the PPQ has.

Re: Pistols

Ok so after some testing and much consideration, I've decided on the Glock 17. The two that it came down to were the Glock and the Walther PPQ. I liked the feel of the PPQ in my hand, but I was not a fan of the mag eject button and found it a little too light when firing. The Glock has always felt ...

Re: Pistols

I should have mentioned that we do not have concealed carry, or open carry, or any other kind of carry in NJ, so I was not looking for something to fill that need.

Re: Pistols

As a matter of fact I just bought a 9 mm semi auto. I don't know much about guns, but I went with 9 mm as a balance between cost of ammo and "stopping power" whatever that means. (I already have a 12 ga shotgun for home defense.) I just ordered 1,000 rounds for $200 shipped to my door, so ...

Re: gun question

Also, I'm old enough to remember when gangs used "zip" guns -- homemade or improvised firearms. It may be a cliche, but it is still true that restrictions on purchasing firearms will not stop criminals procuring weapons.

Re: gun question

So, if I figure correctly, it took 60 days to get your paperwork through. It was about six weeks to get the card, and then I was traveling for a bit so I was not able to actually purchase the gun. In order to get it, I had to: - provide two references, who were sent questionnaires - get finger-prin...

Re: gun question

Sounds like any 2nd Amendment true believer (i.e. gunowner), would be seriously mentally defective to move to NJ! Of course, probably not too many folks of any kind moving to NJ lately. Maybe the governor can change the fiscal and economic outlook but he is apparently is not on board with the whole...

As I mentioned, we do have black bear in NJ. Not far from where I live we had a record 829 lb bear and a 776 lb bear taken during the recent six day bear season. http://www.dailyrecord.com/article/20111216/NJNEWS/312160008/Hunter-takes-829-pound-bear-NJ-record?odyssey=tab|topnews|text|FRONTPAGE A c...

Re: 7 hour rain ride

I was never able to really get rid of the wind noise. I had a Shoei RF 900 then a Scorpion helmet. It did not seem to matter much. The earplugs were the biggest help.
