If the drug and prostitution stuff is legit, then charge him with that alone. I'll still stick up for him when it comes to the gun related charges.

Thanks, it's a 12" rail.

Check out nextalarm.com. Been using them for years. They have their own system , but can also use other standard equipment.

Thanks Eric. She weighs in at 8lb 5oz with the flashlight and eotech sight on. Mind you, it is a mid-weight barrel, not a pencil or govt contour. I'm very happy with the ALG trigger. It is the standard pull of a milspec trigger, but with a tremendously better feel and break. There's no perceptible grit or slack. I have the geissele SSA-E and SD3G to compare. SSA-E is a two stage, super smooth take up, and a light clean break.. very nice but more suitable for a DMR type rifle. The SD3G is a single stage super clean and light break with a crazy fast reset. Man it is fun to play around with, and would be great for gun games if I ever get into that. It would also be a good bench shooting trigger, though the SSA-E is also. I wouldn't run in in a class or anything like that, zero forgiveness. In all, the ALG is my new go-to basic improved milspec FCG. You can't beat the price for what you get.

Posted this in the NJGF Photo threat, but being an AR I then realized it should be here: Latest franken-AR build. So far she has exceeded my expectations. Spikes lower, Anderson upper, ALG ACT FCG, PSA lower build kit, Magpul furniture (stock permanently altered to be fixed), Midwest Industries Keymod rail, YHM slant brake, YHM gas block, BCM BCG, Faxon 14.5" QPQ Nitrided 4150 barrel (brake is pinned and welded to over 16.5" barrel length), KNS anti rotation pins, BCM keymod forgrip. Lower and upper are Magpul FDE Cerakoted

Wow, nice, it will be mine....

OP: I have my M1A Scout up for sale over at Legend Firearms for $1100, if you happen to be looking at the M1A series. She's a great shooter in excellent condition.

I hope you are right, and I do admit that I notice some of the same observations. This doesn't mean that they aren't trying their best to use educational institutions to brainwash our children, but only that it may not be working as intended. Perhaps it will have the opposite effect in that children indoctrinated this way will look at guns and gun rights as delicious forbidden fruit in a rebellious against-the-system way.

There are tons of resources online on how to behave and respond to LE while being respectful and maintaining your rights, I'm not sure it would warrant a class. I think a class on how to live in NJ while owning guns would be worthwhile for someone who is new to it. The same thing could be accomplished by reading Nappan's book.

I also would love to hear both sides of the story. All I have to say so far.... this stems from this past November. If this guy is that bad of a dude, why is the illegal possession of a handgun charge the only one being brought up against him. For public enemy #1 , that's the best they got?

Hahah, exactly I did! "I'm toooootally serious guys, we're going to leave this thing wiiiide open to interpretation."

What also worries me... if true, is that he stated when he refused the search originally, he said the cop replied "do I have to get a dog out here" or something to that effect. That could be code for , you have no 4th amendment rights in a traffic stop. Unless the cop truly had a reason to believe there were drugs in the car, this comment would disturb me as much as the flintlock gangster-gat illegal possession of a handgun charge. So was he stating that because he smelled pot or other drugs, or because he wanted to retaliate because the victim was giving him a hard time? We'll never know. Another lesson as others said is to keep your mouth shut. In a stop like this, the cop is not there to be your friend. They are looking for trouble to snag you up. Do not consent to anything. Provide only legal documents and your identity. Do not answer any questions like "where are you coming from, where are you heading, do you have weapons in the car, have you been drinking tonight". Just say you reserve your right to respectfully remain silent, and it is nothing to do against you in a polite way. If he did this, the onus would be on the state to prove that he was not going to or from a gun shop or range, and this would most likely not be happening. For this to happen, he must have answered the questions which basically provided testimony that he was outside of possession/transport exemptions.

Oh and, yea, SS109 or M855 doesn't meet the other criteria to be considered real AP ammo. This is a case of ban by decree "just because we say so" by the BATFE. Implications are pretty big as it closes off all of our access to military surplus, both the in use SS109 and practice M855 stuff.

I know it is off topic, but this is huge. Kids can't talk about, draw, or even have pastries that were bitten into the shape of a gun while in school. The anti-gun rights folks (progressives included) are playing the long game. They know it will take a generational change to enact their 2A repeal/gun-ban faux utopia plan.

This ammo is not defined as armor piercing in NJ. NJ's AP ammo definition includes that it must be designed to be used primarily in a handgun, and also does not meet the other tests such as hardness. It is not illegal to own or use at the federal level after the ATF ruling either. It is only not able to be sold any longer.

Here's a good article on the power that the ATF has over determining if AP ammo is both used for handguns and whether or not it is used primarily for "sporting purposes" http://www.captainsjournal.com/2012/12/10/atf-ruling-on-sporting-purposes-exemption-to-armor-piercing-ammunition/ The intent of the original law back in 86' was to curb AP ammo that was designed for and primarily used in handguns. Think .357 ammo with a tungsten core. Because there are no protections in the broad power the ATF has over its definitions, they are now taking the fact that there is a whole new class of handguns that use ammo that was initially and primarily used in rifles. Every time someone makes available a handgun that takes a rifle caliber cartridge, this triggers the super heroes at the BATFE to spring into action scrubbing the environment for any rifle ammo that could be defined as AP, then subsequently stamp it as "non-sporting purposes". We had it happen to the russian 5.45 7N6 stuff once someone made an AK74 based pistol, and now SS109 because of all of the AR based pistols out there. All of this was to supposedly save cops from exotic soft-body armor piercing handgun ammo. IMO, it was more about using any excuse they can in order to pump more cream filling into the anti-gun rights agenda's pie hole.

The 2nd amendment is totally about sporting purposes.

Another +1 for Bucks County, especially along the Delaware River is really nice, though I think prices can start shooting up along with property sizes shrinking. I worked with some people who lived there full time, and trained into NYC. Prices could be similar to Flemington in NJ for instance, though at least its in friendly territory. I spent lots of time up at Big Bass Lake in my younger days, a close friend's family had a house there. This is going back ~20 years ago. It was great, though I remember in the latter years the area started having problems. It was the first and only time I had a gun pulled on me because some wannabe gangster thought I said something about his trashy car he was driving (I was just hollering to my friend in the parking lot of a fast food joint). Not fun. The challenge with PA is finding a place where the price is right and area is nice, many times the price is right because the area has some "challenges" with crime and other issues.

Here's a good unofficial test to look into. Personally I use eezox, slip ewl, and g96 treatment. Eezox for protection, g96 for cleaning, ewl for wet lube. http://www.6mmbr.com/corrosiontest.html

We just had our 20 year old Sears dryer repaired, came with the house and we've been here for 7 years. We were talking about washers. He said stick with the old school top loading agitator types. He was telling me of the types of problems they develope and tend to be throw aways when they go. We have a LG front loader now that works fine for now, But I think I'll go back to the top agitator when this blows up. They get the job done and are easier and cheaper to fix when they break.

Desalination plants, very cool but very pricey to operate compared to free water from the ground. But if there isn't enough fresh water, civilization has to do what it has to do. I imagine California will start expanding their desalination capacity out of necessity. They've already started for the most part http://www.dailynews.com/environment-and-nature/20140615/nations-largest-desalination-plant-looking-to-provide-drought-proof-water-supply-to-southern-california Another thing to consider is that RO also removes trace minerals from the water. For the most part, not a big deal in 1st world countries as we get most of what we need from our food. I can atest that it can cause problems, as I lived on all RO water on an island in the pacific for 2 weeks with a fairly minimal diet. By 1.5 weeks, I was not feeling right. Light headed/brain fog, general weirdness. The medical person gave me a packet of what amounts to a massive amounts of electrolytes in powder form and was told to drink it. It did the trick. He told me without taking supplements or the proper diet with minerals like veggies and stuff, your body relies on fluid intake for minerals. With RO, they just weren't there.

Yea, well is another story. RO all the way, especially since you aren't paying a metered water bill. I have a friend on well who still buys bottled water for drinking due to fears of contamination. He seems to not be able to wrap his head around how RO will be able to handle anything that gets pumped up.

I agree that a static ion exchange media will become ineffective more quickly then other systems, this is why the particular filter that I utilize only has a 600 gallon lifespan while the non-ion exchange version is rated up to 2000 gallons. RO is definitely king, the scorched earth of water filtration. It's also good to mention that they come with a price of water wastage of a ~1:4 good:flush-waste gallons. I'd definitely be OK with that if my water test came back full of industrial wastes and/or heavy metals in high concentrations, but to remove some rust, small particulates, and chlorination byproducts would be overkill in my opinion.

Sure RO is going to be the most effective, but I disagree that anything else is "just a carbon filter". Example I gave uses an ion exchange membrane stage that is capable of reducing lead in drinking water. Non-RO cartridge systems are also effective for removing biological contaminants like bacteria and spores. My original reply I gave should have been less about what I use, and more about letting the OP know that his best bet is to get his tap water tested, then apply the proper technology to fix the problems that the results provide. If my tap was full of lead, I'd be going RO in a heartbeat. Since its not, I stick with my multistage element that also incorporates the ion exchange for reduction of what trace amounts are there.
