I had some shaking in Moorestown, NJ.

Rest safe knowing we never left the building and continued to work on the weapon systems to destroy the enemy more efficiently and effectively.

Aegis all the way!!!

Just a prelude to the apocalypse

You all ARE carrying an UNLOADED long gun in the trunk of your vehicle, aren't you??

Empty mags and ammo on stripper clips plus a quick-loader completes the package
Copy of front and back of your FID card in the rifle case doen't hurt
(Statute says you must have FIRST OBTAINED a FID card, not necessarily have the ORIGINAL IN YOUR POSSESSION)

Home?  It took my 30 minutes to realize I should call my wife, though I called my mom minutes after the quake.

Clearly!!  Having two magnitude 5+ earthquakes (CO and VA) within 3 hours of each other can only be explained though a complex series of percipitous relationships that stem from them melting polar icecaps.  There is no question about it.

Thought process was:  1. Is more coming?  2.  While everyone stands around looking at the building and each other, its a perfect time for me to get on the road in case of #1.

My wife was in Cherry hill at a hotel and they evacuated it. I was driving up the express way to go pick her up and I didn't feel anything. She was freaked out that the cell towers were all jammed up and couldn't place a call or text, to see how far out I was. I was talking to somebody In Absecon and they said their african grey parrot started freaking out and acting really weird a few minutes before it hit...  Funny how some animals can detect incoming environmental events.

(AP) Breaking News:  
Scientist have determined the source of the 5.9 magnitude seismic event that occurred this afternoon near Washington, DC, an event that was felt as far away as northern Vermont.  It now appears that preliminary reports which speculated about an earthquake were in error.  It is now clear that Rep. Blake Farenthold (R-TX) was simply enjoying lunch at the Taco Bell in Mineral, VA.  



On behalf of the embarassed citizens of Texas, Governor Rick Perry has offered his sincerest apologies to all the people on the East coast who were affected by the event.  Perry further expressed his relief in the fortunate circumstances that the prevailing winds at the time carried most of the aerosolized effects directly to the Northeast and over Washington, DC.  There, the cloud from Farenthold’s release of flatulent discomfort was essentially indistinguishable from the general odor of bullshit that normally hovers over the city.

I know you are joking but I heard that there may be some relationship with solar activity and earthquakes.  I don't know if it is true.  I heard that when there is a solar flare, there is a good chance of earthquake.

According to 2C:39-5c, if you have an FPID you can possess an unloaded long gun:

2C:39-5. Unlawful possession of weapons

a. Machine guns. Any person who knowingly has in his possession a machine gun or any instrument or device adaptable for use as a machine gun, without being licensed to do so as provided in N.J.S.A. 2C:58-5, is guilty of a crime of the second degree.

b. Handguns. Any person who knowingly has in his possession any handgun, including any antique handgun, without first having obtained a permit to carry the same as provided in N.J.S.A. 2C:58-4, is guilty of a crime of the third degree if the handgun is in the nature of an air gun, spring gun or pistol or other weapon of a similar nature in which the propelling force is a spring, elastic band, carbon dioxide, compressed or other gas or vapor, air or compressed air, or is ignited by compressed air, and ejecting a bullet or missile smaller than three-eighths of an inch in diameter, with sufficient force to injure a person. Otherwise it is a crime of the second degree.

c. Rifles and shotguns. (1) Any person who knowingly has in his possession any rifle or shotgun without having first obtained a firearms purchaser identification card in accordance with the provisions of N.J.S.A. 2C:58-3, is guilty of a crime of the third degree.

(2) Unless otherwise permitted by law, any person who knowingly has in his possession any loaded rifle or shotgun is guilty of a crime of the third degree.

d. Other weapons. Any person who knowingly has in his possession any other weapon under circumstances not manifestly appropriate for such lawful uses as it may have is guilty of a crime of the fourth degree.

All kidding asside.  They will say that you were simply detained whilst they determined whether or not you committed any crimes since issuance of your FPID.
