  1. Forget rifled barrel. Awful for buckshot. Get an 18.5 inch barrel pump with no choke (cylinder) and enjoy shooting buckshot and slugs from it. Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk
  2. Squeeze that grip so hard your hand is shaking then back off just enough to steady. Try to crush the handgun with your grip strength. Took me years till I figured that out and it made such a difference. Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk
  3. You can shoot .22 rifle and pistols at the rifle range if you want but the closest target would be 25 yds. It is very informal. Ask for a cease fire to change targets when you want to, there is no fixed schedule. Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk
  4. Back then the only people who could get carry permits in NYC were people who were rich or had political juice. He was named in an article back in the day as one of a list of celebrities who had carrying "privileges" in NYC. In actuality, he probably had a Nassau or Suffolk County handgun permit that the NYPD endorsed for NYC carry. He was a pretty polarizing figure back in the day, he probably needed it. A lot of people hated him. Not to say that you HAVE to need it, but I'm sure he was glad to have it. I remember reading the article back in the 90s in the newspaper - Trump was named also as a permit holder, along with the publisher of the New York Times.
  5. Sarco just over the PA border off Rt 78
  6. Stern has had a NYC carry permit going all the way back to the early 90s. Wonder what he carries.
  7. The one gem in the AG's directive on reasonable deviations is on the last page. Last paragraph. It says basically that if you have your guns in cases and/or in the trunk of the car, and the policeman thinks that the deviation may not be reasonable, the policeman should not arrest you or file a complaint without prosecutorial approval. This is a big change. The police are directed by the AG to not arrest unless they first get clearance to arrest from the prosecutor. Not on their own intiative, not because their chief wants them to arrest anyone with a gun, they have to call the prosecutor's office and explain why they think it isn't reasonable and ask for an OK. This is a relatively big hurdle because the policeman on the spot can't make an arrest decision on their own initiative. So unless it is really questionable, they are more likely to let you go on your way. They are instructed that they can't arrest you now and drag you into the police station and figure out what to do with you. I'm keeping a copy of this AG directive with me whenever I am on the road going to the range. If a policeman who pulls you over doesn't know about it, you can give them a copy and show them. It's not fantastic but we have to appreciate the little pluses we get every once and a while.
  8. This is the Paris Agreement on climate change that was just signed. Signing countries all agreed to reduce co2 and didnt agree on how to do it. They will all try to do it any way they can. Reductions will never get through congress but the EPA has rulemaking authority so anything that makes CO2 that they can clamp down on they will so they can hit their reduction targets. They don't care if you enjoy racing or wrenching. You will stop in the name of compliance with CO2 reduction levels agreed to. Elect a republican to the white house to roll this nonsense back. It is that simple. Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk
  9. Saiga rifles are allowed to be imported into the USA (or were before that was stopped for embargo reasons involving our relationship with the Russian Republic) because they were deemed to be sporting by the ATF and take different magazines, have different triggers and no pistol grip whatsoever. A safe choice in NJ. I agree that nobody can really establish what 'avtomat kalashnikov type" is. I don't even know know what 'avtomat' is. If it means automatic then it is not an assault firearm because the statute in question deals only with semi auto firearms. An automatic gun that is semi automatic doesnt exist unless it has select fire capability to shoot both ways. Saigas and compliant AK rifles sold don't have that. Saiga is not automatic. In any event, 20 someodd years later the state has not taken any effort to correct spelling or clarify what they might have meant by 'avtomat' which is a word that appears in no english dictionary and does not appear to have been stamped on any guns sold in this state. If "avtomat" is a russian language word, that just further shows how ineffective it is-congress enacting statutes in a foreign language would be unconstitutionally vague. We can't be expected to understand russian common adjectives if that is what it is. If "avtomat" is a proper noun identifying a specific make or model of gun, well there are no guns formally named as such that I have ever seen. As for "kalashnikov", that is the name of a man not a gun or a company. Saiga is made by a corporate entity named Izmash. M1 Carbine, by comparison, precisely identifies a rifle by the precise US Military designation assigned to it by the US armed forces. A very definite identification which is why the NJSP wont allow them to be sold here. If dealers in NJ, who are being supervised by NJSP are transferring Saigas and other similar rifles that the ATF deems sporting and allows to be imported into the US despite the Federal ban on importation of assault firearms, and that comply with the list of evil features the NJ AG has promulgated, that means they are considered to be legal by the NJ authorities under existing law. If anything, the NJSP and the NJ AG must be as perplexed by what, if anything, "avtomat kalashnikov" means and have found it to essentially be impossible to clearly interpret in concrete terms.

  10. We lost much of our rights by incremental change. We will get them back by incremental change. One step at a time. Patience. Nothing changes drastically and immediately in this country. That is a good thing. If huge immediate change was possible in the US guns would have been banned already. The great thing about our system is that it is so hard to change things.

  11. We might get permitting shifted from local police to state police and simplify pistol permit process after first issuance so you dont have to wait forever to get another pistol when you already have pistols. That is concrete progress that could very well happen with this committee. Baby steps in the right direction. Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk
  12. They dont fire cartridges so yes. Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk
  13. No law against buying blackpowder revolver in PA. Federal ban on buying handguns out of state of residence doesnt apply since muzzleloaders are not firearms under federal law. NJ law doesnt apply in PA either since you are not in NJ when in PA. PA has no law against buying one in PA. Obey exemptions on return trip to NJ once you cross the border to keep possession of it legal till you get home. Hope you don't have to explain it to a judge because it would be a real pain to explain it. Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk
  14. I think many here would be surprised at the number of non-gun laws that exist that they violate all the time and don't even know it. There are ordinary people out there, they get a license for a gun, they have a license, they think everything is ok. There's their license. They have other things in their life they focus more on. The problem is a lot of people assume that the law comports with common sense, and figure if they act reasonably they are ok. And for a long time, they get away with it. Some get away with it their whole lives. Some get caught, and learn the lesson the hard way that the law has very little to do with common sense.
  15. Snapsafe is nice. You can carry each piece yourself to where you want the safe and then assemble where you want it. And take with you when you move. Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk
  16. If she drove here from Florida on a Florida drivers license maybe they ought to arrest her for driving in NJ without a NJ drivers license too. Dont understand why US citizens' licenses are not recognized. A car is a huge battering ram arguably more of a danger and a greater responsibility to safely use and more of a threat to others' safety than some puny handgun. Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk

  19. Ruger scout is fun and lots of options for doing stuff to it. Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk
  20. That is some nice research. Is the AG's instruction on this in writing? Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk
  21. Sorry, but I could just see someone giving sandpaper a try...the shotgun I am working on now, boy was it messed up by the prior owner!
  22. Sandpaper? That's a joke right? The abrasives in sandpaper will ruin the chamber. A brass brush spinning on a cordless drill for a short period of time isn't going to do any damage to the steel, just to the lead, gunk and fouling that is on the steel's surface, since brass is softer than steel. Sandpaper abrasives are harder than steel and will scratch and wear away the steel wherever they end up.
  23. The big question is how long a prison sentence this bat wielding maniac gets?
  24. Put your brush on an electric drill if you want to really clean that chamber out.
