  1. I don't think any range is going to want you taking anything apart on the range itself. They probably wouldn't want you interrupting the other shooters when they have to call a ceasefire for you to retrieve springs that fly down range, or soaking the bench with solvent. If they don't provide an area for cleaning it's probably not going to happen there. I also do not have any permanent location for cleaning. I have my cleaning gear in plastic tubs/totes that I store in the garage. I'd setup a space in the garage but too clod in the winter and too hot in the summer so it's either the kitchen table or my desk while watching gun tube
  2. Why not list them on this forum first? It's likely you would find a local buyer and outside of the forum membership fee you are not paying anything additional. Have you checked out the listings here to see what people are selling? Handguns all the time.
  3. Terrain can be an issue with range. Line of sight is important that there are no hills/forest/large buildings between receivers. Being on the top of the hill will be advantageous to communicating in all directions. A more powerful radio will provide additional range and clarity but it is still line of sight.
  4. I haven't done it yet but I was looking at getting a GMRS license. I think it's like $35 and covers immediate family members. There is no test and it is all online. Then you can use more powerful longer range handheld and repeaters. https://quality2wayradios.com/store/gmrs-fcc-license
  5. I'm on a PC and never see ads, but I also use Ad Block Plus
  6. I bought a magnifier once. What I don't like about them is the weight and fixed magnification. I have since moved on to LPVOs. I don't know for sure but I don't think that deviation is a problem. There are adjustments on the magnifier to center the dot in the field of view but keep in mind you only make zero adjustments on the Red Dot itself and then adjust the magnifier to center the dot in your view through the magnifier. If set on it I would get it through Amazon (same price as PA) but 30 day no hassle refund policy in case it doesn't work out.
  7. What about non-violent felons like the Range case: https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/politics-news/people-convicted-nonviolent-crimes-can-guns-court-says-rcna88030 He is a 'criminal' but it was a non-violent crime. I believe that's why they came to this ruling: “The Court finds that Carbajal-Flores’ criminal record, containing no improper use of a weapon, as well as the non-violent circumstances of his arrest do not support a finding that he poses a risk to public safety such that he cannot be trusted to use a weapon responsibly and should be deprived of his Second Amendment right to bear arms in self-defense,” Judge Coleman wrote. “Thus, this Court finds that, as applied to Carbajal-Flores, Section 922(g)(5) is unconstitutional.” Citizen status shouldn't be a limiting factor IMO.
  8. How about the situation where a foreigner travels here for a shooting competition and wants to bring their own firearms? I believe this is legal to do though it does require some paperwork (temporary importation.) So not being a citizen of the USA doesn't necessarily preclude someone from possessing firearms in the USA, just has to be done properly. The original story did not disclose how the alien immigrant acquired the firearm. Though he may have acquired it legally if he established residency: https://www.atf.gov/firearms/qa/may-nonimmigrant-alien-who-has-been-admitted-united-states-under-nonimmigrant-visa-and#:~:text=A nonimmigrant alien without residency,have the firearm directly exported. "A nonimmigrant alien who has established residency in a state may purchase and take possession of a firearm from an unlicensed person, provided the buyer and seller are residents of the same state, and no other state or local law prohibits the transaction. A nonimmigrant alien with residency in a state may purchase a firearm from a licensee, provided the sale complies with all applicable laws and regulations." Ultimately my feelings on this is if you are not in jail you should be able to own/possess firearms in this country. If they are too dangerous to be on the streets then they should be under supervision one way or another.
  9. I hear that! If both your ARs are 5.56 are they also 16"? If so I'd consider a short 'Other' just to be different. They are fun and you already have mags
  10. I've seen the video and I'd question a barrel retained by a single screw though they claim to retain accuracy, I wonder how long will that screw stay in place before needing to be retorqued. You are also dealing with proprietary barrel extension so you are stuck with buying barrels from them. What about just getting various uppers in the calibers you are looking to shoot? Could even build out the uppers yourself. Then if you get bored with it I would think it easier to sell an odd caliber upper than an odd specific proprietary barrel for the LMT. Or later trying to sell the LMT with a set of barrels hoping someone wants all that. What calibers are you considering out of an AR?
  11. They are getting exactly what they are after as these increases will discourage purchases. Fingers crossed we win on fees and such. If not, my time in NJ will be short. I was born in NJ and except for my Army service I have resided in NJ. I love the area but they are taxing us to death and give us nothing in return, they just give it to people who don't pay into the system. The way it's going there's no way I can retire here and keep up with the tax increases. Jacking up firearms related fees is just going to make me look to move sooner than later.
  12. I think we are talking about 2 different things. I'm talking about quotas (how many handguns you can purchase in a certain period of time) not how fast a PD must issue a permit.
  13. Ok I couldn't find that and I'm guessing t would probably have been before the Bruen decision. Anything post-Bruen?
  14. Is there any challenge to the One Handgun a Month rule in NJ?
