  1. Trying to clear some stuff out to get ready for a move.

    1. 15 boxes of CCI AR Tactical .22 LR 40 grain copper plated round nose ammo, 300 rounds per box at $25 each (see photo).

    2. Soft gun cases:all brand new, never used:  2 Opmod 35”, 2 Blackhawk 35” and 42”, one 49” shotgun case. All $10 each.

    3. 6 .50 cal. metal ammo cans, $10 each.  Buy 2 get one free.  Plus I’ll throw in a free .30 cal. can to the first one to buy two.

    Pick up in Wayne (preferred) or near Seaside Park.  First one to post “I’ll take it” for any item or group of items gets the sale.

  2. I finally got around to qualifying today at Gun for Hire.  It looked like they are still running a lot of people through the quals.

    Short safety briefing, instructions on course of fire, then right into it.  We did not specifically have to demonstrate safe gun handling, but there were a lot of instructors, so they might have been observing us. 

    Course of fire (untimed) was 50 rounds as follows:

    24 rounds at 7 yards

    14 rounds at 10 yards

    6 rounds at 15 yards

    6 rounds at 25 yards

    It appeared that everyone in my group passed.  Anyone who cannot hit 80% or better on a full silhouette target with no time pressure probably should not be carrying a firearm.  They did say that if anyone failed, they could try again in a week at a reduced fee, presumably after some practice and some remedial training.

    I'm having a tough time concealing my hk without printing. Is printing illegal or just frowned upon?

    It's not egregious, I just know the gun is there so I can pick up in it while looking in the mirror. 

    Sometimes it comes down to the clothing.  Try wearing a plaid shirt with dark colors to hide the lines of your concealed firearm.

    I wouldnt carry without insurance personally. You could be plainly in the right and you still will have to pay an insane amount of money to defend yourself. The first defensive shooting we have from someone with a ccw will have the book thrown at them. 

    Considering that you would not use deadly force unless you were faced with the prospect of death or serious bodily harm, what is your alternative?

    Bucky did it to make it as COSTLY as possible if a law-abiding citizen was involved in a shooting.

    Considering that CCW insurance is legal in most states, and that it was banned here by executive order, not legislative action, it seems this would not stand up to legal scrutiny.

    Murphy signed an executive order making it illegal to sell insurance for illegal activities and then fined one of the big companies $1million for offering carry insurance.  All the other carriers dropped policies in NJ.  Not sure what ____Shield is selling. Can't remember their name but Evan Nappen is always doing presentations at gun clubs for their product - which I thought was carry insurance.

    I'm also not sure what's illegal about carry insurance.  Crazy logic that nobody has wanted to take up in court.

    I find this extremely frustrating.  USCCA had to cancel my membership because they were not allowed to have members in NJ due to this EO prohibiting CCW insurance.


  6. I carry regularly when I'm in Florida, and I'm still having trouble believing that I'm going to get to carry in NJ!  I have a couple of belts designed for concealed carry, one black and one brown, but I've had them so long that I forgot the brand name.  I've been using an Alien Gear holster recently, but have also used a Galco and a Cross Breed Supertuck, IWB at 4:00.  I carry a Springfield Armory 9 mm XD Mod. 2 subcompact, which I leave in Florida.  I like that the grip safety should prevent an AD/ND if I happen to get a piece of clothing snagged in the trigger guard when reholstering.  I keep a spare mag in the lower support side pocket of a pair of cargo-type shorts.  (LAPG makes Everyday Joe shorts, which are a little neater looking and more streamlined than typical cargo shorts, so they keep my wife happier.) 

    I plan to carry an SA 9 mm SC here, probably in one of the holsters I mentioned.  I'm going to need to figure out the nuances of carrying in colder weather with heavier clothing, which I presume makes concealment easier, but accessibility more difficult.  I consider that a nice problem to have.

    Because it's a "permit to carry a handgun" in NJ.

    The statutes say possession of a handgun without first obtaining a permit to carry a handgun is a crime.

    Possession of a rifle or shotgun with first obtaining an FPIC is a crime.

    Possession of a loaded rifle or shotgun is a crime.

    Note that for the last one there is no permit mentioned. You cannot possess a loaded long gun, full stop.

    Not the answer I was hoping for, but yes, makes sense.

    how long does it really take to snap a mag into your rifle or shells into your shot gun.    its not like your gonna swing a long arm around your passenger compartment.

    This hinges on the eternal discussion of whether or not it's OK to have loaded mags in your car.  For now, I'm going with the unloaded shotgun with a bag of shells nearby.
