It looks like down bottom you're quoting a something relating to the NFA, which is a federal law. Federal and state are two separate jurisdictions. One can be guilty of both creating an "assault weapon" in NJ, while also violating the NFA and creating an SBR, in the same act. Also, if you don't think that pushing out a couple takedown pins and swapping uppers is "readily assembled", then I think we're interpreting that phrase differently. Last but certainly not least, taking advice from the NJSP regarding firearm laws is an awful idea.

Which means that if you had an AR, and a "firearm", that's a no-go because you could easily put the firearm upper on the AR lower and have an SBR. That being said, I think a huge part of this is "intent". Now intent is something that's pretty hard to prove legally, but I think that you've got a pretty good defense if everything else that you do is legal.

It is not a stock.

The idea is cool, but it's a bit overpriced for what you get. $400 msrp?? You can send your P320 slide off to get milled for the optic of your choice, and coated in a color of your choice, for less than $200.

Although I see your point, I don't think it is applicable here. A NV resident is not required to abide by NJ laws while they are in NV.

Is the handguard not meant to be held when firing? Adding the VFG and then saying it's designed to be fired with two hands is a cheaper excuse than the braces are. You're still shouldering the brace, who cares whether you grab the VFG or the handguard? Also, is it possible to transfer something as a "firearm" in NJ? I mean at this point all you guys have to go on is someone on Reddit saying they know someone in the NJSP. Doesn't sound incredibly legitimate so far. Just want to add that I'm all for this. If NJ gets to enjoy the same freedoms as the rest of the country, then that's great. I'm simply playing devil's advocate to try and question all angles, Yes, it could have any of the evil features normally associated with rifles in NJ. That means the magazine limit still applies. ETA: Sorry, I missed that you said "stock". You would be able to have an adjustable brace though.

Am I missing something here? (Most of) the rest of the country has been doing this for a couple years now.

Maks, I may have read it incorrectly, but that's how I read this portion of your introduction: Mainly the portion in red. Taking a second look at the optics you referenced, my $400 price point was inaccurate, as those optics are in the $1,000 to $2,000 range. I remembered Aimpoint, and thought I saw EOTech. That being said, I still believe my point holds true. I'm not going to buy a KAC, BCM, DD, LMT, etc. rifle and throw a Holosun optic on it. Conversely, I'm not going to take a PSA rifle and throw an ACOG on it. I'll normally keep quality relatively consistent across the board. This includes everything from the optics, to the light, to the sling. I also prefer quality over quantity. I would much rather have one or two quality rifles with quality accessories than 7 cheap builds. To each, his own. Again, I still completely agree that most shooters would benefit much more from training than from the latest and greatest gucci gear. But I also believe that a happy medium can normally be found within a reasonable budget, allowing both reliable and proven gear, as well as training and practice.

While I completely agree that your average gun owner would highly benefit from more training and less gear (myself included), I'm pretty surprised that you're justifying a rifle that retails for more than $2,000, yet criticizing optics that cost ~$400.

I don't have any stamps (yet), but I'm pretty sure that it's Three Stamp Thursday.

Gotta participate in Two Stamp Tuesday somehow.

No pics of the trashed aluminum block?

This is the same type of logic as trying to scare away an intruder with the sound of racking a shotgun. You can control someone pretty damn well with a bright ass light pointed at their face, and then they also can't see you. To the OP, does this need to be holster compatible? Is there a possibility that it will need to be holster compatible in the future? Although they're becoming more popular, light bearing holsters are still hard to find in certain combinations. If the possibility exists, take that into consideration.

I owned an FNS-9, which is quite similar to the 509. It was a good handgun, but I just didn't mesh well with it. Ended up getting a P320 compact and I absolutely love it. I'm not trying to sway you from the 509, as I believe it to be a good gun...just supporting your desire to try it before you buy it. Are there no ranges near you that rent the 509?

Constitutional carry is the tits.

They're still releasing new episodes of this crap?

If you are buying guns that will have a purpose, not for collection, then the first place to start would be defining the purpose. Do you want a rifle you can hunt with? Something for target practice? Home defense? Defensive rifle courses? Action pistol competitions? This is similar to what you first described, but will help you narrow down what you want much more. A bolt action rifle that you use for hunting will be much different than one you use for PRS competitions. An AR-15 that you want to shoot sub-MOA at 500yds will be much different than one you'll take to an urban combat rifle course. Defining the role will much more accurately determine what you want versus the type of gun. ETA: I thought the title of your thread meant you put @Ray Ray in your safe.

I don't, but I went through training with a guy who makes and sells knives. Very talented, and a great guy. https://www.eleecustomknives.com/

It must be hard to run with balls that big. He must not use Gilette razors Side note. I heard another report that he was "shopping" when the attack occurred. There was also an armed civilian that was helping escort people out. I'll try to find those pictures. ETA: Inaya Kassam.

Both myself and a buddy have the 1st gen Shield. Both have very hard to operate slide releases. Side note: Pinky extensions for the 7rd mag can be found on Amazon for about $7, and make a world of difference. I also have a TLR-6 on mine (#everygungetsalight), and I absolutely love that too.

I "imported" some firearms about a year ago while active duty. Very easy. Simply fill out an ATF form and send it in, get it about 90 days later and that's all you need. If you can think of anyone, that may be an option.

You wouldn't happen to be active duty military, or know someone that's active duty would you?

My wife knows about all of my firearms purchases. I don't ask permission, however we typically have some type of conversation prior to a purchase to discuss how it will impact us financially to make sure it's not going to negatively affect us. I'd be pretty pissed if she spent $1,400 on something, even if it was something she really enjoyed, and tried to hide it from me. Honestly unless you and your spouse have some sort of "you spend less than x amount a month/year on firearms and accessories, then I don't care or want to hear about it" agreement, and you're hiding these expensive purchases from them, then you're undercutting the meaning of why you got married in the first place. Accessories are a slightly different story. If they're less than $200 and fit within the budget that we have outlined, then I'll purchase them without talking to her prior, but I still don't hide it.

Are pistols not required to weigh less than 50oz now?

This really depends on what the intended use for these cameras is. If you're talking about being above or next to an entry door to watch who comes in and goes out, sure. Watching your gun safe, sure. Inside the garage watching your vehicles, sure. If you want motion further than 15ft or so to trigger them reliably, these will not work well enough.
