This is great, it could prevent the further degradation of gun laws in PA, but unless the new AG makes a specific point to reverse it, we may be stuck with the current reciprocity.

I hate that term, "reasonable". Reasonable to whom? There are people who would say it is unreasonable for me to be driving with a firearm at all.
It leaves a lot to interpretation.

Remaining silent is not enough, and answering "Yes" to "Is this your current address?" means refusal to answer any further questions or subsequently invoking your right is legally suspicious.
Mipafox, can you elaborate on this? Do you mean it's legally suspicious to answer some questions before choosing to invoke the 5th?

Don't delay in calling your card issuer and disputing the charge. If you've been a good customer with them, their first action should be to request the credit card authorization (pin, card present, or signature) from the merchant.

States honor each other's drivers licenses because of financial incentive. If they didn't, they wouldn't get any of that sweet, sweet, federal highway dosh.

So I have this...um...friend...who is moving to a new town in 2 weeks and apparently he has misplaced his FID card. He thought is was in his safe, but alas, it is nowhere to be found. The question is, should he go to his current town PD and request a duplicate before moving, or just wait until he gets settled in the new town and then just request a new FID with his new address and go thru the entire process all over again? Can he go to the PD in his new town and say his FID got lost in the move. He has the FID number from his PPs, just cant find the damn card anywhere. Anyway, any info you can send my way...my...um friend will greatly appreciate it. Thanks.
It's worth noting that it's not illegal to own firearms in NJ without an FID card. The FID permits the purchase and transport of arms in NJ, not possession. Of course, this is only valid if the firearms were legally obtained, within NJ or otherwise.

"Breaking news!: Local man arrested for possession of a fully automatic 4.4mm assault rifle. Authorities also found several 300-round clips loaded and ready for use. Story at 11."

Those full-auto BB guns were "tradition" long before that asinine law was written, I'm sure.

It's like a new type of Hoover flag

What's Trenton have to do with it?

Many of you may have read this, but if not, there is some excellent information here by a gentleman who lived through the collapse in Buneos Aries.
Good read, thank you.

Surprisingly, 10-10 WINS (NYC-oriented CBS station, if you aren't familiar) that opened the story with "It was a posted gun-free zone, but that didn't stop a gunman from opening fire in a theater..."
I have a bit more respect from them after hearing that. It's pretty obvious how ineffective a sign like that truly is.

Hey Stu, is a BUG ok for this event?

Last night there was a shooting at a theater in Lafayette, Louisiana. 3 dead, including the gunman, 9 injured

Y'all would take it if it was given to you. Admit it.

Are you guys talking about shooting skip on 11 meter AM? I've only ever listened in, but it's nothing at all like 2m repeater chat. The fade makes conversations (if you could call them that) rushed and more like DX QSOs than anything else.

Didn't know I could outrun a 380 and 9mm lol.
-
It's worth noting that those barrel dings are more likely caused by (failed) attempts by the previous owner to reassemble the pistol properly rather than stovepipes. Brass is just too soft to cause that kind of damage.

The 9mm is a tapered cartridge, and .380 ACP is straight wall. The cartridge rim dimensions are different as well. This is why you would not be able to use the same reloading dies for 9mm and .380, for example. Here's a close-up that shows it clearly: http://www.personaldefensenetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/caliber-comparison.jpg
You are correct that the bore size (diameter of the barrel) is the same for both guns. In fact, on some guns you might see the .380 ACP referred to as the 9mm Kurz, or the 9x17mm. Similarly, 9mm Makarov is 9x18mm, and 9mm parabellum (the one most people know as 9mm) is 9x19mm.
Here's one ballistic comparison using two pocket guns that come in both calibers. There are many similar comparisons out there, and even more debate to go with it:
With modern machining and firearm design, the newest 9mm guns really do come close to-- if not match-- the size of .380 pocket guns. For older designs, the size difference was mainly because of a different action: 9mm pressures require the use of a locked breech, whereas the pressure of a .380 is low enough that a simple blowback mechanism (and a stout recoil spring) is sufficient to prevent the breech from opening too quickly. That means a lightweight blowback .380 may have more perceived recoil than a locked-breech 9mm. With less moving parts and less precision required, the blowback design could be made smaller and more reliable.
Today you'll find most pocket pistols in .380 ACP sporting the same Browning locked-breech action as their larger brethren, which softens the recoil and makes it easier to rack the slide. The trade-off is accuracy, which usually isn't a factor in considering a small carry gun for personal defense.

I hope it was thrown over the wall into the next lane to clear it.
I understood that reference.

I suppose if you're going to paint ridiculous and flamboyant patterns or colors on your gun, it might as well be on the most ridiculous and flamboyant gun there is.
