    plenty of instance in the sandbox of in excess of 1k rounds fired per squad individual in firefights.  Not often but enough to qualify as 'may happen'

    you gotta remember, those patrols with 150-250 are on foot but on transport there is another 2k minimum magged and ready

    I think KRDSHRK had it right, maybe for a gunner with drums. Even in a vehicle, at 30 rounds a mag, a 1000 round will be 33 mag per person multiply by 4 fighters in a humvee and you are at 130 mags. Now I served a long long time ago and in a different army but I never had more then 5 mags, the only way to get more would be to take them off of somebody....

    I had some experience shooting a folding stock rifle on an AK platform derivative. Trying to shoot it without holding the forward grip is a waste of time, and you sure can't shoulder it unless you want that hinge to make a hole in your shoulder.

    So while it looks really cool and folds shorter then a pistol brave, I'll keep my Non NFA with a brace. And in a case of emergency I can shoulder it and get the first bullet where it needs to go, which is all that matters

    From the article:

    "Under the plan, the state’s gross income tax rate on income between $1 million and $5 million would increase from 8.97% to 10.75%. "

    How come the only people that are outraged about it are not the people that will pay the tax?

    On a good year I'm one of those people that will pay more, on a bad year I'm not. In both cases I don't care, but I much prefer the years I have to pay : )

    There seems to be varying opinions on legality of building your own “other” or at the least a potential headache dealing with the laws in the state.  
    From reading the forum I gather there are quite a few manufacturers (modern materials, lwrc ,Troy, DSI, delta defense, radical firearms, POF) selling nj compliant others.  They seem to be solid builds and with that being said it is not an attack on any of these manufacturers or the product they put out.  I just want to know if any one on the forum knows of a manufacturer or ffl that will build a compliant other with the parts from manufacturers of my choosing?  
    Will the ffl building it require I have to use a lower receiver from one of the manufacturers I listed above or a total stripped lower from whatever company I choose?  
    I am newish to shooting not by any means an expert but I did decent amount of research and I would like to have a Triarc, radian model 1, BCM or v seven build as an other.  Is that possible?  thanks in advance for any help

    These guys built one for me with my spec, being that I'm a lefty I actually sent them a lefty upper and had them install pin and weld and provide all the parts per my request. Their prices are reasonable and they do high quality work. They are a little slow and you'll need a follow up call or two, but you get the exact gun you want and it is transferred into NJ as a complete weapon so no one can ever say you built it : )

    Give them a call and talk to hanson

    I'm not a lawyer, but as the AR15 is designed to be broken in the middle, unless you were caught red handed with the Other NON NFA upper on the NFA AR lower and vice versa, you have done nothing wrong and this should not be a concern. I would go as far as saying that if you store them normally broken in half, even having the 2 sets in a dismantled state in the same safe should not be an issue....

    I don't believe it works that way, which is why this whole build vs buy argument is stupid. 

    The FFL will transfer it as an "other", nothing signifies if its a comple or incomplete firearm. Its just a check box on form 4473. The NJ system may have a different check box for NJ documentation, but they should know what to do. 

    There are no transfer forms to your FFL, when they received the weapon they log it into their book by make and model and type, and transfer it accordingly to you.

    I just got my new NON NFA and you are correct, they copied make and model from the lower, asked me what the caliber is, and wrote it down as other. I believe that a lower would be registered exactly the same, so no one can really tell if you bought it or built it......

    Now for an opinion but IANAL.

    Don't take a handgun on your boat unless you can already carry.  If you're a cop, have a carry permit, or covered under LEOSA you'd be fine in NJ waters.

    If you have an FID you can carry an unloaded long gun in NJ.  Some people with an FID keep an unloaded long gun in their car.  I would think the same would apply to carrying one on your boat.  At least in NJ.

    When I worked in South Florida in the early 80s doing a lot of hoardings the first question I'd ask the captain was,  "do you have any weapons aboard".  If they said no I became suspucious.  But that was almost 40 years ago and a different place.

    I can certainly take my long gun, or maybe my Non NFA AR, to avoid having to take my hand gun.

    Not an easy answer to this question.  There have been changes in the laws since I used to do this.  I will make it clear what is history and what is still applicable.

    Don't believe that because you have living facilities on your boat makes it your "home" unless you truly live on it.  Most states look at boats, campers, rvs, and motor homes as vehicles when they're moving and homes when they're stopped, tied up, hooked to shore power, etc.

    Now who's enforcing the law.

    The US Coast Guard has the broadest authority.  They can board a US vessel anywhere in the world for a safety and document check.  If they have suspicion you've been out of the US they can do a complete Customs search.  No PC or warrant required.  They can board foreign flag vessels anywhere with permission of the country they're reqistered in.  USCG can board any vessel for various reasons out to 200 miles out.

    Customs and Border Protection, Marine Division can board your vessel out to 24 miles at sea and on any waterways that have access to the ocean for a safety and document check.  They can board your boat if you're on the Delaware by the I80 bridge.  If they think you've arrived from foreign or had contact with a foreign flag vessel they can do a complete Customs search. Once again no warrant needed.

    Most state LE agencies, including NJSP, allow boardings for document and safety check.  I believe this also applies to local LE.  Some NJSP were cross-designated as Customs Officers but I dont know if this is still true.

    Things get more complicated with state boundaries.  Say you're in VA and going to find in the Potomac between VA and MD.  You're open carrying (legal in VA) and launch your boat from VA.  You don't go more than 50' from the VA shoreline.  Think you're okay?

    NO! MD's boundary with VA along the Potomac is the low water mark on the VA side. The boundary doesn't go down the middle of the river as most do.  So you can get arrested by MD LE.

    Federal agencies are not out there to enforce state laws.  No Federal law about keeping a gun on your boat that I know of.  However, if Feds find you in violation of a state law they can make a referral to a state agency.  I know of an incident a few years ago where a guy was bringing his yacht down the East River.  He was boarded by USCG and they found a handgun on the guys boat.  He was arrested and charged by NYPD.

    I know this doesn't answer the question but gives you something to think about. One other thing.  If you're boarded by any LE agency the first question you'll be asked is if you have any weapons on board.  That includes spearguns, crossbows, or anything else.  Now you may take the 5th but if you decline to answer or lie that will only make the LEO think what else you're hiding.

    LE agencies don't need a reason to board you.  Just the fact you're on the water is reason enough.  What happens after that depends.

    Thank you sir!

    So I'm interested to hear peoples opinion as to if it is legal to take a gun you own legally to a boat you own legally. And keep it on said boat while you are in the NJ state line and crossing to other states.

    I believe that according to the law it is clear that you can have your legally owned weapon in your home, a second home owned by you and your place of business. What about a boat?

    Boats that have a bedroom, restroom and a kitchen are recognized as homes to the point where you can get mortgages and declare the interest on those as part of your tax return, those that also apply to the gun issue, meaning if you want to spend a night on your boat you can have your gun legally somewhere on it like you would at your home?

    If you don't fold it and take your hand off of it you can still shoot in one hand. So that doesn't make any sense.

    Besides we are not in the movies and the person that can shoot one handed an AR in any caliber other then 9 mill and actually hit above 90% is a better shot then all of us.....
