How would you have reacted?
Ian S replied to greatgunstatenj's topic in Current New Jersey Gun Laws Discussion
I really want to agree with both of you. But it seems like the stories of consequences for ignorance of the law are so common that they are just fodder for short lived forum threads. Remember Meredith Graves? Here: http://njgunforums.com/forum/index.php?/topic/30408-tennessee-tourist-arrested-for-bringing-pistol-into-911-memorial/ Now what would you do if you were standing in line at the 9/11 memorial and heard a nice southern woman say "Oh, that sign says we can't bring our civilian self-defense weapon in. Let's go see if we can check it in." Would you try to tell her that won't turn out well? Or would you grab some popcorn? Even knowing how it turns out? Especially if it is a friend of a friend, I'd feel obligated to give him the same heads up that the OP did, or I'd feel guilty of doing nothing to stop the guaranteed train wreck. -

I understand the need to not add more rules, but we can't boil down the actual existing rules until they're thrown out altogether. The rules allowing transport to a range are actually more detailed than just "it's ok to travel to and from a range". From 2C:39-6 Exemption 3 by itself may seem to allow transport to and from a range, but if the firearm is not allowed under 1 and 2, then you shouldn't talk yourself into believing that 3 allows it.

No, don't paraphrase the law and argue based on that. The exception does not give an allowance for the handgun at any range. The New Jersey Code of Criminal Justice, Title 2C:39-6 section f, gives the exemption for transport of firearms to a range for the purpose of practice, but the firearm is to be suitable for the purpose. If it can't be used at the range, then it is not suitable. -
Ruger Mark III Competition Grip question.
Ian S replied to woodentoe's topic in Rimfire Pistols & Rifles
I'm pretty sure the Competition model comes with the right hand contoured grip, it was an initial selling point for me, along with the adjustable sights and the look of the slab side barrel. But Djg0770 it's definitely on the right track. A Ruger MKIII screams to be customized. Check out http://www.rimfirecentral.com/forums/showthread.php?t=378734 I added a set of Herrett's Nationals grips with the adjustable heel rest, that takes a lot of weight off your wrist for shooting round after round, especially great when shooting bullseye style one handed. Many aftermarket grips like this can be ordered for left or right hand. Modify the trigger, the sear, whatever floats your boat, but you'll love it more when you've made it yours.
