Break in attempt last night

What's that old line? :"I'd rather be judged by 12 than carried by 6"
I travel between AZ and CA in my car, and I had an incident. Let's just say California can shove their dumb gun laws and I ignore them for my own safety.
AZ has probably the best gun laws, no permit required for concealed carry. Which SHOULD be every state, I don't need a permit for my 1st Amendment rights, why do I need one for our 2nd Amendment rights? But at least a permit is something, many states don't even allow you to carry with a permit.

I drove thru NJ once. I couldn't even pump my own gas. They took my bank card and asked me for my pin. I said thats not going to happen, run it as credit. Okay well I need your zip code then.
That should be amusing to try and get a concealed carry permit in a state that doesn't even let you pump your own gas.

Sucks about your break in. At least there wasn't a lot of pint damage, could have been...
You're in for a HUGE culture shock lol. Life in NJ is completely different than life in GA. Get used to lots of additional restrictions, can't pump your own gas, can't make a left turn (no joke, google "jug handles) lots of additional zoning and use restrictions on land and real estate, etc. My wife is from NJ. I *hate* NJ. I tense up the second I cross the border. Its like another country.
Property taxes? INSANE
One thing I do notice is that the right to carry a firearm in NJ is extremely restricted. You have to be either a government employee or retired officer for your concealed carry permit. This sucks. Most restrictive state in the nation from what I am reading. Your vehicle is not considered an extension of your home either.

Yeah, I know what to expect. I travel all over the US with my job and have lived in ATL of course, SF, CA, San Juan, PR, and have travelled to Eastern and Western Europe, Central and South America, the Caribbean, Bermuda, Aruba, and other places so I don't think it will be much of a shock but not the most enjoyable. At least certain aspects of the local culture. The Princeton area is pretty nice vs other areas. I'm just happy I'm not moving to NYC. Although I don't mind working there I would not like to live in the city.
Edit: Broken key extractor should be here tonight. Hopefully I can get the key out.
I will update.

Yeah Princeton is pretty nice, still not my cup of tea though.
Insofar as taxes, my sister in law bought a house outside of Princeton she paid about $800k for, her tax bill is $26,000 per year. So...if it was paid off it would still cost more than $2k month to own

Wow...imagine the force that was necessary to break the tip off that screwdriver...

I know. The lock is pretty strong. I was thinking it odd that a key would be in there in the first place. Most crackheads don't have keys let alone the type that fit into our locks... Lol
This will be my temporary solution until I get the new lock and cap. Not too bad especially from a distance. It is as straight as I could fix the twisted metal. Little bit of glue and touch up paint

Thanks. You don't notice it at all unless you look for it up close. Just hope I don't have any issues with the wireless entry... lol Then I am SOL. I seriously doubt it will be an issue until I can tackle it.
The extractor kit is pretty cool. The tools are really small but work great. $180 to a lock smith or $7 to Amazon. I will always choose Amazon.
