Why not just practice more DAO work? You will get stronger from it if you do it enough!

1) FID + handgun permits 2) Haddonfield 3) Det. Ortiz 4) 30 days for FID, about 14 days for subsequent pistol permits 5) None 6) Seemed pretty cool about it. I liked Det.Ortiz and we chatted about firearms for quite a while.

I have a Gen 3 Glock 26 and 17, and a Gen 4 19. I love all three and would buy any one of them again.

I've owned both. I still have the Glock. The Beretta is nice, but I don't like the DA/SA trigger or the fact that I can't carry it cocked and locked. I either want something cocked and locked (1911 or USP) so it's always a single action trigger or something striker fired that's consistent every time. I also like the larger magazine capacity for the Glock. (I have a Glock 26 as well that, ironically, I traded the Beretta in for) I do have to agree, the Beretta was prettier though :-)

Here's the one I really can't explain: My Glock 26. I shoot iy better than my Glock 17 and they are almost freaking identical except for the larger grip and longer barrel.

All of them. I live in New Jersey where firearms are not needed, as the police are right around the corner to protect me. :cry: And if you needed them they probably will not be able to find you.. Or make a left turn in time to get to you.

Can handguns be transferred privately the same way rifles can? I know a permit is still required, but I'm not sure what else is. I've got a couple I'm looking to part with and want to know what's involved.

A 1911, an AR, an M1A, something with a scope for 300 yard shots....

It's just an urban legend. You'd be soaking your barrel in carbonated sugar water.

It's too many when you don't have room for them anymore. That;s only temporary, because it's a sign to get a bigger place. ;-)

If by "a few" you mean about 20, OK. It's over 1000 miles.

It is, and they will. At least until the case is resolved. Like it or not, shooting someone is a crime, whether it's self defense or not. Evidence in that crime is going to stay with the police until the DA decides what to do, maybe longer.

My Springfield TRP 1911 was about $1600. I think it's the finest handgun I've ever owned or even held. My Kimber Stainless Raptor II was about $1200. It's really nice, but not as nice as the TRP.

Hey from a dry town without as many cool restaurants!

I found Sportsmansguide had a non-corrosive one for $0.19 a round. I loaded up, since that's about the cheapest non-22lr I can find right now.

I would add: - Make sure you have both held and fired the gun you want before you buy it. You may love the way it feels to hold but hate how it shoots, or vice versa. - Remember the size of the gun and its recoil are usually inversely proportional. A full size .38 will have a lot less recoil than a little 357 Airweight. - Get instructions from the store (if possible). Have them show you how to take it apart and put it back together.

I ordered some .22 from them a month ago that still hasn't shipped :-(

Even if the government wasn't involved, bonds have risks just like stocks do. It's entirely possible for a company to go belly up and the bond holders get little or nothing. It looks like there's a choice for bond holders: let GM go out completely and get nothing or have the government prop them up and at least get a little. Both options are pretty bad. Personally, I think the government should stay out of it. Almost any time the government gets involved in business or the open market, they make things worse, not better. If a company is so badly run that it can't stand on its own, tax payer help just prolongs the agony. We're not talking about Iaccoca asking for a loan, here. We're talking about a big old handout with lots of strings attached.

You might want to think twice about posting a comment that would be a violation under NJ laws. As a NJ resident, it would not have been a legal transfer. Are you sure? I consulted a firearm's attorney and he said this was a legal transfer since it did not occur in NJ. NJ laws don't apply to you in PA. Also, since we do not have pistol registration in NJ, so as long as you have an FID card you are okay. However, my friend consulted another attorney that called this a legal grey area. I'd say the question is whether a black powder pistol counts as a handgun or not (and if not, what are they considered?). If so, you're a NJ resident buying a pistol out of state without a handgun purchase permit, which isn't legal.

I didn't think the pistol version was Jersey legal for some reason. Maybe the weight?

along the lines of being polite, remember that every phone call is three more minutes that every person has to wait for their application (including you). Is there a reason to call other than to make yourself feel better?

whoever thought 9mm would be a collectors item?

Probably since bayonet mounts are on the "you may only have one of the following" list. I didn't think they were prohibited in general, just in conjunction with another "assault weapon" feature.

I'm seriously jealous. That's on my list of "guns to own" one day.

That's just about the biggest over simplification of an issue I've ever seen. I vote in every election, yet oddly we still have no changes in the gun laws. You act as though us voting is the complete solution. If two candidates are running, and neither is promising to change the gun laws, exactly which vote do you would make a difference?
