Mind Bender... Is this a firearm?
Gorilla800lbs replied to Tosser's topic in Firearm Hobby / Sport Discussion
Since this tool is smooth-bore, I think it might qualify as a sawed-off shotgun. If so, this 10-piece fastener strip is above 6 rounds limit, and is also highly illegal ! http://www.amazon.com/Ramset-5RS27-Strip-Fastener-Package/dp/B000VC0ZHK -
In hindsight, I regret making the Airsoft suggestion.

Metal trashcans seems to be the best solution. There are also sprayable squirrel repellents, but they are either sticky (which is goung to make a trashcan look real messy), or not watrr-repellent, despite what the manufacturer might say. For chasing squirrels away from your lawn or backyard, i'd suggest an Airsoft gun with full auto. Those are still legal and don't fall under the typical discharge ordinances.

Legality of AW BB replicas
Gorilla800lbs replied to Gorilla800lbs's topic in Current New Jersey Gun Laws Discussion
Courtesy of njJoniGuy, re-posting from another thread the legislative book of work for 2012-2013: Bill A524: Clarifies that BB guns are not firearms under New Jersey law. 1/10/2012 Introduced And Referred To Assembly Law and Public Safety Committee http://www.njleg.sta...BillNumber=A524 But at the same time: Bill S810: Clarifies that "airsoft" guns are firearms 1/10/2012 Introduced And Referred To Senate Law and Public Safety Committee http://www.njleg.sta...BillNumber=S810 This is just so messed up. -
My three-agency-average was 779 and my wife's 746. They want 740 and above for 3.0%.

2012-13 NJ Legislative Session bills
Gorilla800lbs replied to njJoniGuy's topic in Current New Jersey Gun Laws Discussion
I like the intent of A524, but I do not understand the reason behind the provisions: It shall not include any air gun or pistol which uses air, compressed air or carbon dioxide as the propelling force to eject a ball or non-pointed pellet that does not exceed .177 caliber at a muzzle velocity of less than 500 feet per second, commonly referred to as a BB gun. So, sporting and match pistols are still firearms, and so are pretty much all long guns? The net result will be that a kid will be able to buy a BB handgun at Sports Authority, but not an air rifle? When it comes to real firearms, the restrictions go the other way around! Also: how do you ensure that the gun can fire only non-pointed pellets? -
Would this scenario work? 1. Have your wife apply for her own FID 2. Two of your complete a COE, transferring your shotgun to her, and locking it really tight somewhere 3. If she has to use your shotgun, she'll be able to produce that COE on the spot, and will be in the clear. Otherwise, the COE remains stashed away forever. Variation: she can also obtain a P2P and you do the same thing with your handgun.

This is the kind of vitriol that I yet have to understand. What do you think of having to check your guns in at all federal offices or our own satehouses, as well as most museums, sports arenas, some places of worship, and other venues? Say, when I have to step thru a metal detector at American Museum of Natural History in the city, or Liberty Science Center in JC, or at Motley Crue concert down in Holmdel last summer -- is it because they are all anti-american or pro-terrorist?

Bloomberg slanders gun law victim
Gorilla800lbs replied to reloaderguy's topic in Firearm Hobby / Sport Discussion
Not to whitewash Bloomberg, but I think that he simply repeated the cocaine accusation based on the information which NYPD gave him. I am absolutely ready to believe that NY's Finest jumped on the opportunity to declare that Mrs. MGraves carried cocaine, and then conveniently chose not to refute that for as long as it was possible. Either way, he owes her a personal apology. -
Aren't NJ ones Toxic Green?

No points. No lender fees. The only closing fees are those that the independent appraiser, the flood surveyer, the title company (RACKET), and the gub'mint collect. Altogether about $2,900 due.

I have no idea whether this kind of stuff goes here, but I just locked a killa 3.00% / 15yr fixed refinance rate with IMG, based out of Lakewood, NJ.

Despite how harsh the approach seems to be, I can kinda see where the police and the prosecutor's office come from. If they don't appear to make a whole show out of enforcing the law, the impression created among the public and the media will be that YES, YOU CAN CARRY YOUR GUNS INTO NYC -- you'll just get a little wrist slap if you get caught. Given the number of people who travel into NYC daily, even the vast army that is NYPD won't get the genie back into the bottle once it's out. Now, right or wrong the Newyorkers chose to have strict gun laws (or the representatives they had chosen chose to have strict gun laws, depending on how you look at it). Telling Newyorkers what to do is exactly the kind of thing we (or anyone else) don't like them doing back to us. Besides, just leaving a loaded gun in the open in your hotel room (availalble to room service or maintenance personnel to grab) is precisely the kind of recklessness that is so easy to rally against and to make a negative example out of. A poster child of harsh gun control laws Mr. Vankirk isn't.

Hello all, I discovered these forums just couple of weeks ago, and before long found myself checking it every day and occasionally posting, so I realized that I ought to introduce myself, seeing how this forum has already been very helpful and educational to me. A Fair Lawn resident for the last 10 years. Mostly predisposed towards hand-to-hand than firearms, but on our recent vacation trip to Mexico my wife got bitten by a shooting bug, and she's interested to practice. I know, the grim narco violencia Mexicana basically write themselves here. But back in high school (another time, another country) she was a great shot with .22LR, and it all came back to her, and I thought, why not? With a great surprise to myself I discovered that you can actually own firearms in NJ, despite all the red tape, and there is a vibrant enthusiasts community, and here I am, writing this and waiting ever patiently for my FID and P2Ps... I hold views that probably would be labeled here as progressive or liberal, but at the same time it doesn't prevent me from being fascinated with the machinery that are firearms, to admire the skills of those who're proficient with them, and to respect and hold dear the rights of all of us, and to hold mine and our flip-side obligations of those rights seriously. In short, I hope my modest appearance here won't make these forums less enjoyable to anyone. I don't have a good recent pic of myself with a firearm, so here is one with a bow instead.

Vlad: the OP says he has two Glocks, so it's not just long guns. -
Star Ledger article on AIRSOFT
Gorilla800lbs replied to Genewarper111's topic in Firearm Hobby / Sport Discussion
There is already a law on the books that makes a display of "imitation weapons" an offense if it's done in a way that implies an illegal use. -

I admit you're right about the 1st part of my statement. A "deviation" doesn't start until he crosses NJ border. -
Star Ledger article on AIRSOFT
Gorilla800lbs replied to Genewarper111's topic in Firearm Hobby / Sport Discussion
Honestly, I am not very well versed on the legal side of the topic, so I don't know. But I figure that the Airsoft-type equipment is primarily used for sporting purposes against live opponent in an environment where chances of injury are controlled and mitigated, whereas BB and pellet guns are used for target shooting and hunting, where the focus is directly on the destructive qualities of the equipment and the likelihood of lasting or permanent injury is almost guaranteed. -

halbautomatisch: this is great! Looks like latter part of the ruling expressly renders the 2C:39-9 irrelevant when applied to BB and pellet guns, even though they're still might be considered firearms. I am still not sure I want to roll the dice, but it's heartwarming to know that the law is not quite as insanse as it seems, at least when it is brought up to scrutiny at court. -

LOL indeed. Maybe by 1w(1) (by "name" -- and that's a stretch), but definitely not 1w(2). It's not substantially identical other than by visual appearance. It will not do a real MP5's job. The discrepancies go far beyond the examples of the superficial discrepancies 54-1.1. Could be, because that's exactly what 54-5 says. "Shotgun" means any firearm designed to be fired from the shoulder and using the energy of the explosive in a fixed shotgun shell to fire through a smooth bore either a number of ball shots or asingle projectile for each pull of the trigger, or any firearm designed to be fired from the shoulder which does not fire fixed ammunition. A smooth-bore BB or pellet long gun is a "shotgun". A crossbow with a stock is a "shotgun". Daym. -

Vlad, thanks for the detailed response, because it goes to the heart of the argument I am trying to present: the restrictive characteristics you are listing are proscribed for semi-automatic rifles. A semi-automatic rifle that has the ability to accept a detachable magazine and has at least two of the following: (1) A folding or telescoping stock; (2) A pistol grip that protrudes conspicuously beneath the action of the weapon; (3) A bayonet mount; (4) A flash suppressor or threaded barrel designed to accommodate a flash suppressor; and (5) A grenade launcher The point that I am trying (perhaps not clearly) to make is that this "firearm" is not a semi-automatic rifle, because the law describes same as: "Rifle" means any firearm designed to be fired from the shoulder and using the energy of the explosive in a fixed metallic cartridge to fire a single projectile through a rifled bore for each single pull of the trigger There are no explosives used as propellants, no fixed metallic cartridges housing each projectile round, and the barrel here is smooth bore. However, reading the Chapter 54 carefully now, I see that this weapon could be seen as a shotgun?!?!
