LEOSA only applies to active and retired leos and is Federal law. If they meet the requirements they can carry anywhere in the US. NJ said it didn't apply to retired leos who live in NJ. NJ wanted control and to collect their $50. LEOSA also states active and retired leos can carry any ammo not restricted by the NFA. Hollowpoints are not restricted by NFA only state law. However, LEOSA, a Federal law, only applies to active and retired leos.

Your BIL is not fully informed. Under LEOSA an active or retired LEO can carry hollowpoints in NJ. LEOSA allows carrying of hollowpoints. No state law trumps federal law. https://www.lawenforcementtoday.com/federal-judge-rules-against-nj-finally-allowing-retired-leos-to-carry/

This had nothing to do with Bruen. Retired LEOS can carry hollowpoints. Everyone else no.

So.if it's a millimeter per year, that's a.1000 years before it's a meter. I'll be long.gone.

Just buy.10 rd magazines. If the magazine bsn is lifted there are a bazillion over 10 rd magazines out there.

One can go through posts a year ago and find many saying we'll never be able to carry in NJ.

Never carry a Glock without a holster. I've carried Glocks for about 25 years. IWB, OWB, shoulder, and ankle holsters. Never an issue. The only problem I knew of was a guy who just used to tuck it in his belt, no holster...until he shot himself in the ass.

Well no. Many safeties block the sear. But you have to have a safety to start with.

If you have a carry permit notification is not self incrimination. Notifying is admitting you're doing something legally.

Agreed no black powder used is 5.56. Not sure what they're using now but in 155, 8", and 175s, all separate loading (shell and powder bags) there was a small bag of black powder on the last bag to ignite the rest of the powder which was tubular and each "grain" was about the size of a big little finger. There is no titanium used in shell cases. AFAIK all tube artillery in the US inventory is 155mm and is separate loading except the 105mm m102 in an AC130. Titanium is used in M777 howitzers to make them light and air droppable. Steel is used in howitzer rounds. Titanium is a stupid choice for shell casings and rounds and isn't done. The guy who wrote this article makes as much sense as me writing an article on brain surgery.

3 votes for the Nemesis. I use it with j frame and small autos.

The spread of shot is about the same regardless of barrel length.

Criminals don't prefer a victim that's carrying a cross shoulder purse. Too much work to get it away from them. Many easier targets.

The problem is shooting shotshells through this. The rifling makes shot spread quick!!! I tried shooting buckshot through a rifled barrel on my 870. Effective range was maybe 5 yds. Huge donut pattern.

I've stayed out of this. However @Mrs. Peel off body carry may be for you. I would suggest getting one of those small purses (big enough to hold your gun) worn diagonally across your body in addition to your normal purse. Back in the early 80s when I worked in Key West I worked on a boat a lot. I took to carrying my badge, ID, and gun (apologies to those that may be offended) in a fag bag. My normal attire there would be shorts and a tshirt. You should have saw me arresting two guys for a klio of Coke deal on Duval St. I remember going to interview a woman who estranged husband was looking to buy explosives to sink a load boat. Shorts, tshirt, and fag bag. When we sat down to talk she asked to see my.Id again. I told.her only.the fbi shows up in suits and ties

Many of you are overthinking this. I've carried a gun since 1974. IWB, OWB. Never had to adjust my waist size in any kind of pants.

Do you have a cash price?

Keep in mind heavier steel frame revolvers also absorb recoil better.

@Sabeast this is the proper hierarchy of holsters for concealsbility. However, I generally go for an OWB if I can get away with it. Wearing a shoulder holster with a PPK (a gun I've carried a lot) gives you a lot of extra harness to carry a smaller gun unless you want to be like James Bond. If your clothes fit you well you can't carry much of a gun in a shoulder holster unless your tailor allows for it. Shoulder holsters are better for: 1. You want to carry a full size gun. I'm talking something like a 6 1/2" Model 29 like Dirty Harry. This would include for hunting. 2. Wearing where you'll be sitting like in a car. Ankle holster is also good for this. 3. Wearing when you have to be able to crawl through tight spaces and want to be able to reach your gun easily if it gets hung up on something. We're talking armored vehicle crewman or military aircrew. There are safety issues with shoulder holster regarding the area you sweep when you draw. That's why every LE agency I know of, including NYPD, don't allow shoulder holsters for training or qualification. SOB I'd never consider. Not SOB but I know of a guy that damaged his kidney wearing a OWB at 4 o'clock when he slipped on the ice. I've done the same thing.

Don't know about such a light bullet. I've loaded 90-95 gr bullets up to 1500+ fps. Not impressed with the terminal ballistics.

I guess you didn't read my first sentence. I'm not a fan of government requirements. I am a fan of training. Others on this forum can attest to that. Other states than NY, NJ. and CA have qual and/or training requirements. One state has a requirement you can't carry a caliber larger than you qualified with. If you're interested in other states carry permit requirements I suggest you research them.

Shooting on a square range is very different than shooting in combat. How many gunfights have you been in? Some of the most stellar police gunfights were successful by cops who barely qualified.

Hey, you know me well enough to know I'm not a fan of government requirements. I am a fan of training.

That first sentence is a pretty broad brush condemnation. Care to elaborate? So you can outshoot your sister and most of her LEO friends. What about the rest of her LEO friends? I've been a police firearms instructor since 1976. You know what? You're correct. Most only shoot when they have to. 99% of them are still able to qualify on the first go around. How often they have to depends on the agency. How much the bean counters want to spend. How much for ammo, how much the agency wants to spend for training Good that you shoot 4-5 times a month. Does that make you less passionate than the people who shoot 8-10x a month? The number of rounds you shoot means nothing. What you do with them does. Numerous forum members have posted about the difficulty they had qualifying for their carry permit.

The same logic could apply to people with carry permits. The fact is if the prosecutor is looking at what gun or ammo you used you're already in trouble. LEO or civilian.
