  1. This might not help answer your question...

    During Vietnam the tunnel rats were issued suppressed weapons of varying types. It was a challenge to suppress a revolver. One type was a .38 special round with an integral piston that captured the expanded gases. The ATF declared each one of these captured piston rounds to be a suppressor.

    I am not a lawyer. It's probably safe to say that if the ATF considers a device a suppressor, so too would NJ. But, like seemingly all firearm laws in NJ, there is plenty of vagueness in the language. "Any weapon for causing the firing of any firearm to be silent." Right.

    I don't think the clear line we'd all love to see is here, but I think a key word is "lessen". If you were to do some freebore magic that cut off half a dB at the range, realistically nobody would notice and you'd get away with it... but if you've got negative attention from LE and someone wants you jammed up badly enough, an empirical measurement of reduced sound when compared to-- whatever the investigators choose-- would probably do the trick.

    Come to think of it, this sounds a lot like most of the other laws. When was the last time your magazines' capacity was inspected? But if you've already got the contents of your parts box locked in evidence, you can bet someone's going to try to jam 11 rounds into your "10 rounders".

    The way the House bill is currently written a state would have to honor a CCW permit from any other state regardless of state of residence. So someone from NJ could get an out of state CCW and carry in NJ. 

    NJ would still set the rules on where/when someone can CCW.  But they can’t discriminate between in/out of state permits. 

    I wonder if that would allow NJ to create a new "CCW lite" permit allowing carrying to/from the range and your home. Then, out of state permits are covered under that same privilege. Except they don't have a house, or a range to go to. 


  3. Because it's stainless steel, you can try a lot of different solvents to take it off, as long as they are not abrasive. Start with CLP, if no luck, move to powder solvent like Hoppes 9, then maybe acetone. Only then break out the big guns... If chlorinated brake cleaner doesn't take it off, nothing will.


  4. I never got the point of the pistol ARs.

     

    Even at this year's shot there was the HK MP9 pistol clone thingie.... did absolutely nothing for me.   If you want an SBR... just build an SBR... (outside of socialist Jersey ofcourse).

     

    I think they make slightly more sense in states where concealed carry is for pistols only. Still not sure why you'd ever want to CC an AR, though.

     

    In my state loaded carry of long guns in a vehicle is a legal gray area. I bet people use AR pistols as a workaround for that as well.


  5. Give the Kahr P380 a look. It's the only Kahr I really like and it beats out many other pocket autos in size while still holding 6+1.

     

    They can be found on the cheap, I found one for $350.


  6. You did notice the confidentiality notice at the bottom right? 

     

    My understanding of email confidentiality notices/disclaimers is that they are generally unenforceable, and following them is considered a courtesy more than anything else... probably because they are essentially one-sided contracts, and merely receiving and reading the message can't serve as an agreement to the contract terms.

  7. Don't pay to rent a modem from them, and be wary of "free" equipment, it might be a hidden or rolled-up equipment charge. Rental has been an ISP continuous income tactic for years, with its roots going back to the days of rotary phone rentals from Ma Bell.

     

    For cable service, any DOCSIS 3.1 modem will get you up to a gigabit (look on Amazon or eBay). If you're on a very tight budget, DOCSIS 3.0 modems are cheaper and will still get you about 150 Mbit/sec download and 100 Mbit/sec upload.

     

    It's much cheaper in the long term to buy your own, and don't take BS about it not being supported. It's an established standard and works with any US cable internet service.


  8. Since hearing protection was mentioned, I highly recommend these over foam earplugs that you'd use at the range:

    They protect your hearing for concerts but have flat attenuation so they won't muddy up the music. And you can still hear people speaking. Don't use them at the range, they won't work for that.


  9. The process for online renewal is extremely straightforward. You can even upload your own photo from a digital camera, no need to pay for a passport photo. Just have someone take your photo in the same manner, standing several feet away from a light-colored background and with flash.
