  1. Information bubbles are comforting. What part of their methodolgy did you disagree with?
  2. Thanks for the link! I already used this. It's going to be hard for an anti to claim Harvard is a right wing biased source. One thing, the paper actually cautions against taking the findings a step too far and saying gun control is not only unproductive but counter-productive. They basicly claim guns are a marginal variable and that other socioeconomic factors play a much larger role in murder/crime rates.
  3. This doesn't seem to be all that unusual, there was 601 in 2003. Seems about average with a slight dip to about 450 in the mid-late 2000's.
  4. Sorry guys, I realize my mistake with terminology, I'm new to shooting anything but paper. I guess it it will be just an informal hunt on private land, actually is in NY. Thanks for the suggestions.
  5. What am I looking for in 12 ga. 3" for a turkey shoot or is just anything with a turkey on the box ok?
  6. Forgive my ignorance, I understand not supporting any new legislation on principle, but what would be the reason for not reporting a stolen firearm?
  7. D.C. and Chicago both still have awb's and mag cap restrictions along various inconveniences toward gun ownership. In those cases the Justices purposefully made their decisions narrow in scope leaving leeway for goverment to regulate certain aspects of gun ownership. These new capacity limits seem like a (diabolically) clever workaround since an all out ban of semi-automatic function or handguns would be unconstitutional. Much like NJ carry law next to impossible is not considered the same as impossible.
  8. I'm more of a liberatarian but I find all most conservatives hear is "liberal talk" when it comes to discussing social issues. I find it actually suprises democrats in a good way to meet someone they can identify with on other issues who owns a gun, they seem more comfortable asking questions. Don't want to go on too much of a tangent but I think it is a hurdle for the advancement of 2a rights that progressive gun owners are basicly forced in the closet in pro-gun organizations/forums. More people might be open minded towards the single issue of gun rights if they weren't force fed the entire GOP gospel at the same time. unclenunzie: very well put. There is more than one amendment. (* this forum is pretty laid back, I'm speaking in general)
  9. That is exactly what was screaming in my head watching the video. He let a retail employee disarm him and handle his loaded firearm! I certainly wouldn't want to deal with the consequences of some guy AD/NDing my gun. Unload at the car or something.
  10. One thing I'd like to add now that you people got me reading a bunch of stories/ watching videos on pafoa . In some cases guys are getting stopped and detained by the same officer more than once. That means they already sat on the side of the road doing the back and forth with the station song and dance and were educated on the law. The next time isn't ignorance, it's harrassment because they disagree with the law, and that is a criminal act. A second encounter should go a little more like this: "Hey Jerry, we got a call about a guy carrying a gun, was that you at the diner just now? Ok well I know your on the up and up but as long as you choose to do that people are going to call and we have to follow up, Have a good one." END I wouldn't be surprised if the philly cop "forgets" the law with the next OCer. Just to balance things out here's one of the good guys:
  11. The one thing that really annoys me about the OCer is not getting on his knees when told to do so if it wasn't for that I think the officer would of been in a more reasonable mood or at least he would have the high ground. On the other hand I always find it unfair that in any altercation we forgive the officers actions as part of a stress filled adrenaline dump but the civilian with the gun in his face is supposed to be as cool as a cucumber and react with slow yet instantanious precision. At the end the officer mentions they have the right to stop him and check his permit, I'm pretty sure the standard permit check doesn't include guns drawn and a face plant on the sidewalk. Hmmm an unwritten ban, sounds alot like NJ. "Sure you have the right but you will be hassled so is it really worth it?" " Since you have acknowledged that you will be hassled if you do it now your just looking to make trouble." I have watched a bunch of these open carry videos and at first like others it seemed to me like just trouble makers, but I've grown to really understand the points they try to make. Forgetting 2a its amazing what a joke 4a has become and how simply invoking it is "being a wiseass", yet another right with "consequences". There's a series of video's about Keene, NH (freekeene.org) and the residents have made some real headway in educating the populace and police. Having said all that I'd rather ccw, personally.

    Marlin 1894CSBL

    I've been lusting after the 1895SBL and hoping Marlin would make a .357 version, this year they are. Marlin 2011 catalog. It says it only holds 7 rounds though, the 1894CP holds 8 as does the .44 mag version and 16" model 92's. Anyone know why, I know the mag on winchesters is flush with the barrel?
  13. I completely agree there is a "telephone game" at work with our laws, thats what I meant by grey area... the law is only clear to those who take the time to read it. My only personal experience with police and firearms the initial officer and his backup both thought my FID card was the end all. I wouldn't of wanted to argue 2C:39- with them on the side of the road. This is good though everyone needs all the information and then they can decide individually how far to go. BTW, Thanks for the advice I am now removing all my firing pins.
  14. Is safe practice and not required confusing? In the trunk is locked up... so WTF I know the actual law, I was just trying to give a new guy simple on the safe side guidelines imparted to me by knowledgable people. I guess thats a big no no.
