The Tactical Classmate You've Waited For!
EdF replied to 45Doll's topic in Firearm Hobby / Sport Discussion
They don't drop at her feet so they don't either get damaged or affect her footing as she moves through the course . . . That's how it looks to me anyway. -
Negative to lasers . . . The target also sees them . . .

The Tactical Classmate You've Waited For!
EdF replied to 45Doll's topic in Firearm Hobby / Sport Discussion
She certainly seems to enjoy the work . . . I tried that shot where she straddled the table . . . Well, to be fair all I did was straddle the tables . . . Wait . . . No . . . I've shot while standing NEAR a table, that was it . . . -

Does anybody need any extra Christmas money? I'm looking to pick up an inexpensive, complete, AR-15 in the next week. We can meet at an agreeable FFL for transfer. I'm in Cherry Hill and have a few that I have worked with here but I'll meet you half or even come to your shop for the best price. Please provide fairly complete details and a picture or two. I'll edit this when I make a deal. Ed

Firearms on the Auto Train to Florida?
EdF replied to Old Glock guy's topic in National Gun Law Discussion
Well . . . Some people seem to love the auto train (like my parents) and others do not (most of the people here) . . . After a little more research, the auto train does NOT allow for checked baggage because you leave it in your car. Therefore, weapons are a no no. Of course, you can very likely get away with it. I don't know about other options for shipping your car and taking an Amtrak train that accepts checked baggage. -

Actually . . . Typing "amtrak and guns" into Google provided this in the first few entries on page one . . . https://www.amtrak.com/firearms-in-checked-baggage It appears that you can carry guns in checked baggage by following a few simple rules. If you are bringing handguns, you may be breaking the law by driving them to the train station but I suppose that you can claim that you are traveling from one home to another so you are actually driving home with them. Not sure how all of that will work out. -
Firearms on the Auto Train to Florida?
EdF replied to Old Glock guy's topic in National Gun Law Discussion
I have a Beretta that needs some recall work. Living in NJ, Beretta told me that I need to take it too an FFL and have them ship it to them and that it will be returned to the FFL for me to pick up. They might be wrong but here is no legal way for me to drive a handgun to a UPS store or the post office. -

I believe that to LEGALLY ship firearms from NJ, you need to have an FFL ship. This may only apply to handguns though. You can check with Amtrak (directly or try to look it up on Google. They may have a policy including a way to lock the guns up on the train ride. You can likely get away with putting them in a locked case in your locked trunk. But, as noted, you may end up with a federal charge if caught. Part of your problem is that, in NJ, you can't drive to the train station OR to UPS with them. -
Take note . . . The two that were listed for sale appear to have sold for $12,000 and $12,500 . . .

It's been a few months . . . It's not a strength issue, back in April she dislocated her pinky, broke her ring finger and chipped a bone on the middle finger of her right hand. The pinky and the ring finger have healed crooked. We tried a number of guns at a shop and she had a really easy time with the S&W.

We have a Peloton and love it . . . My girlfriend is on it seven days a week and does weight and yoga and other workouts on the app which she is at the office gym. I'm a former road racing cyclist and this is a great bike. The price didn't scare me because there are $10K racing bikes! The built is rock solid. I would like to have some for/aft adjustability on the handle bars because of my long upper body but it still fits well. The instructors are very good and include some current and former professional cyclists but YOU still control just how hard YOUR workout is. We financed ours at $60/mo for three years. The subscription is $40/mo.

ANJRPC searching for CCW Plaintiff
EdF replied to ChrisJM981's topic in Current New Jersey Gun Laws Discussion
SCOTUS is the court of origin because that case is one state suing other states. It's right there in your Constitution . . . Read up. -
I'm looking at these because my girlfriend has an f'd up finger and has trouble pulling the slide on our Glock 17. Questions: .380 or 9mm? Thumb safety or no? What's the difference with the "Performance Center models? Let the show begin . . .

That’s a lot of Guns - NICS checks up 45% in November
EdF replied to Sniper's topic in Firearm Hobby / Sport Discussion
. . . You can carry whenever you want . . . It's just a matter of balancing what you are protecting with what you are risking . . . -
Mine took about four months in Mount Laurel somewhere around 2009. The detectives that I talked to there didn't give a shit about the must issue requirements. I kept calling once a week (after about two months) until they called and said it was ready to pick up. My first contact would be the officer or detective responsible, followed by the chief then the mayor. Get an actual status. It may just be sitting on a desk waiting for a signature.

Here's how much I care at this point . . . Not at all . . . All of this bullshit started over a threaded barrel. Just screw on a thread protector or get it welded. The f'ing point that I was making could have been made just as easily WITHOUT MENTIONING AMMUNITION . . . Consider that I have done so and gone home . . .

If you like . . . You can either find something that contradicts my statement or take it up with the NRA certified instructor that led the recent class that I took my girlfriend and son to. According to him, you can POSESS hollow points and you can shoot them at a range. He was incredibly clear: You can't use hollow points or FMJ for home defense in NJ. He recommended Hornady Critical Defense and one or two others.
-
As I understand it, the statute is often misquoted and misunderstood. Hollow points are just fine to have in the home however, they are NOT legal for self defense even in the home. If I'm mistaken I would be happy to hear another interpretation.
-
I agree with your sentiment as well. That's why I included the "otherwise clean" . . . But, if you shoot an intruder with a hollow point, shot out of a gun with a 30 round mag and a threaded barrel . . . You're starting off on the wrong foot . . . In fact, you likely don't even want to have those things in your safe.
-
Here's the thing, in my view . . . You're not likely to get busted at the range with a non-welded brake or with a 17 round mag in your Glock or with hollow points in your trunk at McDonald's. But, if you are using the weapon for home defense, an otherwise clean self-defense incident can become all f'd up if your ammo and weapon aren't buttoned up and legal. You might want to make your choices with that in mind.
