Glock 19.

An FPIC has absolutely no use with regard to handguns except to allow you to buy handgun ammo in NJ. It allows you to possess long guns without having to rely on exemptions and it allows you to purchase long guns. Unless you have a permit to carry a handgun, you can only transport a handgun under the exemptions. The possession of an FPIC is irrelevant. For people who don't have an FPIC, do you think they never go to the range?

Yesterday the NSSF released its latest report on firearms production and ownership. Among other data it says since 1990, there are an estimated 19.8 million Modern Sporting Rifles (MSRs) in circulation today. BINGO!

Nappen has said that it is legal, as long as you've been issued a FPID card, to have an unloaded long gun on the seat next to you. He even said you could legally wave it out the window. Not recommended, but you could. But with a firearm visible from the outside, you are inviting a stop and roadside interrogation. And the chances are very high that you'll be going for a ride with bracelets on given that most police on the street are not big on roadside negotiations. IMHO out of sight is better than visible.

Tear out chain link, yank offending vine out by roots, have nice clean yard. But that's just me.

I learned the hard way that 12ga can sometimes be too much I agree 100%. The answer is, depends. When I am hunting with a dog a .410 is plenty, 20ga is the largest I will use. I have pulverized birds with a 12ga hunting over dogs. Without a dog i will use a 12ga with 2 3/4" shells normally #6 or #5 when very windy.

There are lots of answers to this question. Are you hunting pheasants tramping the underbrush alone, hunting over a flushing dog, hunting over a pointing dog? Your method will dictate what you need. Flushing pheasants underfoot are supposed to be easy to hit and will drop with anything. Pheasants that flush far out and have time to get up steam are tough to bring down and when poorly hit they can travel a long distance, both in flight or worse by running on the ground. 12, 16 or 20 ga? When I was young (13) I thought you needed the heaviest loads to kill pheasants. Bigger was supposed to be better. In the 60's I stoked my grandfather's 16 ga. double with the same shells he used for pheasant and ducks; high brass #4's, #5's, #6's. Damn that light gun kicked like hell with 1 1/8 oz. & 1 1/4 oz. loads. I think I weighed 90 lbs. at the time. I didn't know any better, but thought I was doing it right. As I've grown older and wiser, and carried light guns and smaller gauge's, hunted over a good pointing dog, I learned you don't need such big loads to take down pheasants if you hunt them on your terms. My favorites that I put in my shell loops: 12 ga. handloaded 1 oz. of #6's or #5's @ 1235 fps 16 ga. handloaded 7/8 or 1 oz. #6's or #5's @ 1250 fps 20 ga. handloaded 7/8 oz of #6's @ 1350 fps or 1 oz. @ 1200fps of #6's or #5's When I can find copper-plated shot I prefer it, but magnum lead is fine. If you don't handled, factory premium shells use harder lead, so patterns are dense and uniform. But you won't know that until you pattern your gun with the loads you intend to use and determine what chokes are best. Every shotshell maker makes a premium "high velocity" pheasant load, but "field loads" are fine with pheasant with the appropriate shot. The ultimate, most-used pheasant load in a 12 ga. for decades has been the loading of 3 3/4 dr. - 1 1/4 oz. - #6 shot @ 1330 fps Pheasants can motor. Upon flight they average speeds of 45mph. Once underway they've been known to hit 60 mph.

Nothing to worry about. Just follow the normal rules for transport.

If you spray the Roundup now it will die and the Roundup will be long gone by veggie season. Whatever is left will eventually decay away. Or you could spray it with bleach.

I was born in NJ, too, as well as have many family and friends still there. I left a year ago, and I'm much happier in the Poconos. Don't move back to NJ.

You mean time wise? Suppose to be an hour, we usually "stretch it out" a bit more.

Me neither, although my UPS driver keeps leaving me a invoice for his hernia repair...

I've never signed for it

Many of the hunting preserves in NJ - such as the one CNJFO is hosting a Pheasant hunt on Saturday, February 6th at Giberson's Farm and WIldlife Preserve in Pemberton NJ - want nothing bigger than #6 pellets. Go to https://www.cnjfo.com/event-4052517 for more information I've hunted there several times - always a blast!

keep in mind Chris Rock said it before there was a NJGF

@Pete1 For pheasants I like to use 1 3/4 oz. #6 shot on top of 72 grains of powder, an over-powder card 1/8" thick & a cushioned shot wad. Of course it's my 10 ga. SxS muzzleloader, so no shells needed! For 12 ga. & 20 ga. shells, @DaddyNick's advice is golden! Rosey

I've done my part for the next generation. I've made sure to take my two sons (and son-in-law) to the range and get them proficient in shooting. Plus, they both have their FID cards and have started to "collect". Youngest son is in the final stages of being hired by Customs and Border Protection. We'll be well protected in this family!

Wear your long underwear. Predicted to be 33 degrees with the wind chill.

Do a little snooping around here: http://www.ilrc.ucf.edu/powders/search.php You should be able to narrow it down to a few (maybe even one) likely candidates

I believe the "club" has been around since the 1930's and the building since the 50's? One of the guys at my club participates in the competitions there from time to time so I'll ask him if he knows.

I`ve had good experience with it.

Lol, I can see the confusion. Maybe I should change the title.

Have not used their 9 mm, but I've gone through a case of Norma .223, and it was fine.

In my experience Norma makes outstanding ammunition.

I’ll take the 308 as per our messages.

Lock ‘er up I’ll take it. Gracias.

@Jason Simsgreat seller buy with confidence gents

Not only is this the right idea (and what I pushed 2A groups to do for 8 years, and I was scoffed at during certain meetings by certain people) but it establishes a precedent of denial, so that when someone actually does fall victim to crime after rejection, which is inevitable, it hurts the state’s narrative even more. I think the rejections and the racial angle would have solved this quickly, but the groups with resources, again, laughed at me. So here I am now with our own group and this is my very small way of contributing and being accountable until I can have a larger impact.
