  1. Okay you have to an agency approved holster when qualifying. You can switch holsters but your agency will dictate what holsters you can switch to. Whilst.the state says you don't have to qualify with your off duty gun I don't know of any agency that doesn't require you to qualify with your off duty and any firearm you use on duty. The state requirements are interesting but the agency requirements can, and often are, more restricting. I know of at least a couple of agencies that require their LEOS to carry a less than lethal weapon if they're carrying a gun off duty. I even know agencies that require you to carry expandable baton and pepper spray if you're carrying off duty. OT but 99.99% of the confrontations you might encounter will require less than lethal force. If you're carrying a gun you should be carrying a ltl option. If you see every confrontation as a nail you'll use the hammer.
  2. Enough of the argument of terms. 100 years ago when I started shooting accidental discharge was used for anytime the gun fired when it wasn't supposed to no matter what the reason. Unintentional and Negligent Discharge came along as some thought it more appropriate to describe the event. Everytime a gun fired when it wasn't supposed to isnt an accident they'd say. Some instructors like to throw out more terms and pigeonhole events as it seems more impressive. So, A discharge caused by a malfunction of a firearm can be an AD. But isn't also a UID? A discharge caused by clothing snagging the trigger on clothing is a ND. But isn't it also a UID? One can go on and on with examples. AFAIC the 3 terms are interchangeable in usage except there needs to negligence for a ND. I still generally use AD or UID. That covers most bases.
  3. That's not the point. The statement said cops are not required to draw from concealment. Truth is, they are.
  4. I carry OWB most times. You have a shirt or jacket covering it.
  5. https://www.nj.gov/military/veterans/services/vso/ I used Ocean County Veterans Service Office in Toms River. Open to Ocean County residents. They are county employees and do a great job. They do everything for you and even represent you at hearings. Doesn't cost you a dime. When I first saw them I was getting 10%. It took a few years but eventually they got me 100% Great staff and they know how to deal with the VA at no cost to you. You'll find the first time you apply the VA will turn you down. You have to have a rep who knows the system. I don't know about using someone that's working for profit. Seems to me they'd be more interested in handling cases that would get a higher percentage.
  6. A quality leather holster will do anything kydex can do. I've leather Glock holsters I've used for 25+ years.
  7. One incident I can think of is you have an UID and someone gets hurt. You put a 3lb trigger in your Glock. Notnan issue if it's a comp only gun. Anything you do to make your gun more accurate, other than a lighter trigger pull, should not be an issue. I wouldn't worry about that.
  8. If a prosecutor is looking at trigger or sight mods you're in more trobule. There had to be something wrong in the SD shooting to get down to these factors.
  9. My brother's fix is Pepto Bismol, my father's fix was Vitamin A&D ointment and Epsom Salts!, Chris Rock did a skit where Robbitussin fixed everything. Got a broken arm? Sprinkle.Robbitussin over it.
  10. Look on the CMP website. They will show you where to grease. Keep in mind, soldiers might carry these rifles for several days between cleanings. They worked. In WW2, units pulled out of combat were issued new M1s if available. I learned this from reading "Band of Brothers". After Normandy they were issued new rifles in England before they jumped into Holland.
  11. BTW, there is no magic in Windex. Hatcher's Notebook is available on line for free. He did a lot of research on what was best for cleaning after shooting corrosive ammo. The best thing was...water. Now they weren't going to tell soldiers to clean with water. Something soldiers were told to keep off their rifles. Ammonia is pretty close chemically to water. It's also considered a cleaning agent. Pure ammonia is a gas, the stuff we call Ammonia is actually diluted in water. They told soldiers to clean with Ammonia. The Windex thing came in when Windex was made with ammonia but was mostly water. Clean after corrosive ammo with water, flush out water with WD40, then clean conveniently with Hoppes, Breakfree, or your preferred solvent.
  12. Lake City 66 is non-corrosive. That was ammo made for the Vietnamese we gave M1s to. Greek ammo is headstamped HXP AFAIK Can't remember now but when we gave the Greeks M1s we gave them the ammo manufacturing stuff from an ammo plant we shut down after WW2. I still have a stock of HXP I bought from CMP when it was like 25 cents a round.
  13. If it was Greek its good ammo. Wheel bearing grease works fine. Ear wax would probably work on a Garand. Maybe we should meet at a range and we can figure it out. Never had a problem with any of my Garands. Far from an expert but I know a bit.
  14. Most don't realize this. Jeff Cooper said gunfights are 95% mental.
  15. Lube? Did you lube with grease? That's what Garands are designed to run on. I use mobil 1 grease but any will work. Garands don't run on underpowered ammo. They run on ammo designed with a specific pressure curve. Too little and they will malfunction. Too much and they break. What ammo were you using?
  16. But he's looking at the problems Adams is having.
  17. Im waiting for Murphy to welcome the illegals.
  18. Yes I read some of those definitions. To my experience, if something isn't defined under state law, a judge might go to federal law for a definition. A liberal judge might define a parking lot as a transportation hub.
  19. Transportation hub is not codified in NJ law. Stretching the State's definition a small train station could be termed a "Transportation Hub" if a bus stops there. Your post shows how the current administration just wants to make the law up as they go along.
  20. I think any station might be considered a transportation hub. Once again the vagueness of NJ law.
  21. Okay IANAL but I can read. C1 in the statute says securely fastened container or locked in the trunk for transport. No container required if in locked trunk C2 says storage of gun and ammo.in a locked box in vehicle. Says that. Doesn't say separate locked boxes. A prosecutor can't make up.stuff the statute doesn't say. The following paragraphs talk about transporting in a locked box if your in the parking area of a sensitive location. IIRC the "loaded magazine" being considered a firearm originated in CA 15-20 years ago. The statute at the time said if there was ammunition in any part of the gun it was considered loaded. This covered if you had a gun with a box or tube magazine and an empty chamber you had a loaded firearm. Someone was arrested as they had an unloaded gun and a loaded magazine and was arrested for carrying "a loaded firearm". This went no where and was promptly dismissed. Absent a statutory definition the way to disprove a loaded magazine is ask any firearms instructor is a gun, empty chamber, and loaded magazine is loaded. Their answer would be yes. Remove the loaded magazine. Show the chamber clear and the gun is unloaded. Attorneys will be extremely cautious giving advice. That's why they say don't transport loaded magazines. If you were to ask them how you can be assured of not being charged with a malum prohibitum gun law the most honest answer would be "don't own guns".
  22. Hollowpoints are more effective at stopping. My guess is the powers in NJ thought that should be reserved for the state.
  23. Most laws are prohibitive in nature. They tell you what you can't do. NJ firearms laws tell you what can do. You can have a state law more restrictive than a Federal law but you can't have one contrary to Federal law. NJ used to say LEOSA didn't apply to retired leos that lived in NJ. That's pretty contrary. A lot of Federal laws deal with things that travel in interstate commerce. Motor vehicles, whiskey, and firearms are a few. Federal law says to buy a gun from a dealer you have to fill out the 4473 and get a background check. Buying a gun from a private individual when your both residents of the state has no interstate connection. If you're doing it most states it's like buying a hammer. All the extra requirements NJ puts on buying a gun are legal. They don't make it impossible to get a gun only very difficult.
