  1. I never thought about this, but it makes sense (anti Yeager folks: just ignore the guy on the left and listen to the doctor ) Disaster Dentist:
  2. My BIL drives a Volvo. He's combat vet (USMC), fed LEO, hunter and all around gun guy. Never judge a book by its car. or something like that.
  3. Obviously both, but first get what you find already have. My 3" GP is my favorite gun. My wife prefers the SP, she'll even put a few .357s through it at each range session. There's really something intangibly special about a revolver. For me, .357 mag is far and away my favorite caliber to shoot. .38+P is my go to defensive (handgun) caliber.
  4. Just a note: One of frog lube's properties is that it displaces petroleum based products. Meaning that if you treated it with F.L. and then applied oil/grease, the F.L. will push the oil right off the parts you put it on. Don't know of that has anything to do with the light primer strikes (doubtful) but it's not a good practice generally. ETA: From froglube's FAQs- Will FrogLube remove petroleum products, oils and grease? Yes. FrogLube dissolves carbon and petro-chemicals on contact. You should discontinue use of petroleum or other petrochemicals as it will conflict with the optimal performance of FrogLube.
  5. The mag cap laws are part and parcel of the "Left's War on Guns". I mean I get your point "he broke the law" but I think that misses the bigger picture.
  6. 9x19 is definitely one of the 5 best 9mm cartridges.
  7. You can still go to the range. FID is not a requirement for transport between exempted locations. As for ammo, a lot of online stores don't ask for your FID.
  8. I would add, all kidding aside, that if a NJ resident could show that he/ she carried based on a genuine mistake of law, they would prevail in being granted the same waiver. It's uncommon, but it does happen.
  9. The law (Grave Act) does in fact still apply to out of state residents with CCWs from their home state. The Graves Act already grants the prosecutor the ability to apply for a waiver of the mandatory minimum sentence in cases where the defendant has shown through the presentation of compelling reasons that applying the mandatory minimum would not serve the interest of justice nor achieve the stated goals of the Act (reducing gun violence). The clarification the AG issued merely explains that if defendant can show that: A. He/she is a legal firearms owner. B. Has been issued a license to carry a firearm in his/her home state and C. His/her carrying of a firearm in NJ was inadvertant and due to a mistake of law. it will generally be presumed that he/she has provided compelling reasons which warrant application of the waiver. NJ residents charged with Illegal Possession of a Weapon -Firearm are equally permitted to present "compelling reasons" in support of a request for waiver of the mandatory minimum sentence. What does not apply to NJ residents is "B. Has been issued a license to carry in his/her home state", since possession of a NJ CCW would negate the charges in the first place. For a NJ resident to be granted the same waiver, he/she would have to show some other reason for illegally possessing a firearm. Something like: "I saw a police officer inadvertantly drop his gun as he was getting on his morotcycle at 2:00AM in a pretty rough part of town. I tried to alert him, but he couldn't hear me over sound of the exhaust. Since the area was full of children, sketchy gang bangers types and sketchy gang banger type children, I thought it prudent to secure the firearm on my person before anything bad happened. As I don't have a cell phone and the area was dangerous, I began walking in the direction of the police station, hoping to come upon a payphone or another police officer so that I could alert the proper authorities and return the firearm to its rightful owner. That's when another officer pulled up and asked me what I was doing in skethcy gang banger neighborhood at 2:00AM. I explained that I had an officer's gun and before I could say why I had it, I found myself tasered and unable to speak. Please note the letters from Pope Francis, Cardinal Dolan and the mother superior at my convent which attest to the fact that I took a vow of honesty which I have never broken since joining the Order of the Blessed Sisters of Charity, Poverty, Peace and Non-Violence in 1949. (All of our charity work is in support of the local, state and national PBA. And the Brady Campaign.) Please also note the letter from my physician which advises that due to my advanced arthritis I wouldn't be able to pull that 12lb NY trigger even if I used all ten fingers." Of course near impossiblity doesn't mean unconstitutional. Just look at our CCW case law.
  10. Seems that was a mistake on my part. Google image search says that's actually kirsten joy weiss. Oops

    Saw the title Read the post
  12. http://www.thetruthaboutguns.com/2014/09/foghorn/sig-sauer-working-on-a-p220-in-10mm/ Sig Sauer has caved to the pressure (no pun) and will be making some 10mm P220 variants.
  13. There's no equal protection issue here. The subjects of the AG's clarification of the Graves Act directive are "individuals who are licensed to carry in their state of residence". It states that such individuals who mistakenly carry in NJ should not be punished as severly as people who knowingly break our stupid, unconstitutional laws. NJ residents who are similarly situated- i.e. have a ccw from their state of residence- woudn't be arrested in the first place. NJ residents who carry but don't have a NJ ccw are completely different. Therefore, no 14th Amendment violation.
  14. Look, I'm not saying she's a super model, but she's definitely better looking than the average normal girl*. Plus, she comes off as having a sweet demeanor AND she stands by her baby daddy, even if he's a lying, valor thieving douche who pimps her out for YouTube clicks who won't marry her even after knocking up. *The average American woman is 5'4" & 166lbs. In other words-
  15. Yeah, I was making fun of the strong side only pad. Because, of course, no standing reloads
  16. Personally, I'm impressed with the deployment of tactical knee pads as an integral piece of kit. Plus, since they come in pairs, but you only use one, you can always have a spare in your load out.
  17. Yeah, my initial reaction was "So he exaggerated his service. Tool, but whatever." Then I saw all the details and my reaction was exactly the same "WTF!" It's like me claiming I went to Yale Law because I applied to the undergrad program, got an interview and walked out in the middle of it when it became clear I hadn't even passed the SATs. I'm pretty sure anyone hiring me as a lawyer would want to know that, even if I had worked at a real law office for years and sort of knew the law.
  18. Well, the first video was bad. Very, very bad. But this... I don't know how they got away with repeatedly sweeping complete strangers. Sorry, not sweeping. Deliberately pointing AND pressing the trigger in the direction of people just walking by. Hoe Lee Fok That video should be titled "Turning SHOT show into a sh#t show."
  19. You're ignoring the density and value of location factors. An attack on NYC mass transit would hit way more ppl and would shut down the stock market. That's a whole lot more impact than killing a few hundred middle Americans
  20. Serious question: Have terrorists ever actually hit any target that the news said was at risk? I don't recall it ever happening. It's always something we don't expect. It's part of the reason why the TSA is such a f^¢£ing joke. AQ tries a shoe bomb, we have to take our shoes. Because, of course, they're gonna try that again.
