Well, I just filled out a non resident NH carry permit application. I finally have a reason to apply for one!

Wow. Is this finally the little glimmer of light at the end of our very long and dark tunnel?

Haha. Honestly, my first thought was, "Did I go to Hoboken and forget about it?" My wife was the one to actually open the notice as I was still at work when it came in the mail. She just left it on the table for me to find. She wasn't suspicious though. I'm too ugly to have a side chick. ETA: I looked on Google Street View, and for the life of me, can't find a building labeled 51. If I as my sister who lives in JC, to go there and take pictures to show there is no 51 3rd St, do you think I could use this to help my defense should I choose to go ahead with it? Also, I can find any apartment or business listings that match that address.

I haven't, but reading online about the Hoboken Parking Authority, I highly doubt I'll get anywhere with them. But you're right. It's worth a phone call.

1. IMHO, the ported is not worth the extra coin. The M&P9 is already a very soft shooter. Spend the extra cash on ammo is my advice. 2. This depends. If you want a 5 inch, you'll have to get the Pro unless you can find a used 9L, which I near is near impossible to find. I still did trigger upgrades to my 9Pro. 3. If you're planning on using it for range time, HD, and possible competition, I would get the 5 inch as the added sight radius really is a nice little advantage. 4. It depends if you want to add optics or not. PS. There is a M&P M2.0 out now. It might be worth checking out.

It was written by a fucking meter maid, which is what really pisses me off. These fuckers have ONE SIMPLE job to do, and they can't do it right. How am I supposed to get the meter maid to correct the ticket? My only options are to go to court and fight it, or pay the bullshit fine.

They have the correct make of my car, but I don't think they had the model listed. They also have the wrong color, but the judge is making me fight it in court still. I asked them to send me a copy of the ticket, and she said it will arrive in 5 to 10 business days.

I came home to an "Official Legal Notice" in the mail last night. It's a parking ticket from Hoboken, NJ, a city I've never been to. I'm thinking of fighting it out of principle. How should I go about fighting this? Here's the relevant info. Date of alleged offense: Dec 6 2016 Time of alleged offense: 6:28pm Location of alleged offense: XYZ, NJ (Google street view shows this address does not exist. I also cannot find any info about this address on Google) They have my correct name, DL#, Plate #, and Home Address. (The lady I spoke to said they probably got this info from DMV) I left work on the evening of Dec 6th at 6:00pm. At 5:58pm, I sent my employers a text, as I do every night, giving them a summary of the day. I arrived home at 6:26, although this is not something I can prove. I work in (Town withheld), NJ, and if I left here at 6:00pm and drove to the location of the alleged parking infraction, it would take me 1 hour and 13 mins according to Google Maps which would bring me to the location of the alleged offense at 7:13pm. Driving home from Hoboken to my place of residence in (Town withheld), would take 1 hour and 15 mins. My wife has a picture on her iPhone of my son and I sleeping on the couch, on the night of the alleged offense. The picture is time stamped for 7:58pm. It is physically impossible for me to leave work at 6pm, get to the location of the alleged offense, and back home by 7:58pm which is when the picture was taken. Here's what I'm thinking of doing as my defense. 1. Get a signed affidavit from my employer, stating I was at work from 10am to 6pm on the day of the alleged offense. 2. Print out directions from Google Maps, showing how long it would take for me to get to the location of the alleged offense, and also showing the time it would take for me to get home from the location of the alleged offense. 3. Print out a screenshot from my wife's phone, showing a picture of my son and me sleeping on the couch. This shows the date and time. She does not have locations turned out so the physical location would not be displayed. However, I have picture on my phone of the same couch, that shows the location to be in the town I reside in. 4. Print out an EZ Pass statement showing it was not scanned on the date of the alleged offense. Is there anything else you can think of that I should do? Also, is there a way that I can get them to allow me to send this proof to them through the mail or email, so I don't have to drive up there for a court date. The lady on the phone said she spoke to the judge who insists I still come for the court date. They have my car listed as white, when mine is black, but the judge said since the License plate and make of the car matches up, I still have to go to court. I really want to fight this ticket as it's completely bogus. But I also don't want to wind up paying more than the fine of $64 I'm ordered to pay at the moment. They even added on $10 because I missed the first court date since I was NEVER notified I had received a parking ticket because the meter maid who issued it put it on a different car. I'm thinking the meter maid found a car to ticket, messed up one of the letters or numbers of that person's plate, and I was the unlucky SOB whose plate number got recorded. They sent the plate info to the DMV, and the DMV sent me this "second" notice in the mail. Any advice you guys and gals can give would be greatly appreciated. PS. When I search on Google and Google Maps, I don't see any hits for the exact address of the alleged offense. I see the street, and other building numbers, but not that one listed on my ticket. Can I use this as a defense as well?

Thanks for the correction guys.

Some people just shouldn't own guns. This idiot points the gun at his hand to see if the laser is working. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hxIfMuJzKxQ This idiot employee does what I've personally seen so many times. Hand a gun to a customer without checking the status of it. Then, the cop proceeds to flag other customers and also puts his hand in front of the muzzle. But the icing on the cake is, that he racks the slide, and pulls the trigger. Anyone who has any knowledge of guns should know that if you rack the slide with a mag in the gun, and the slide doesn't lock back, means you just chambered a round! Then he pulls the trigger while his hand is still in front of the muzzle. This next one needs no explanation. WTF is this next guy doing? More stupidity.

I honestly don't understand how shit like this ever happens. Prevention of this is SO SIMPLE. EVERYTIME someone picks up a gun, the absolutely FIRST thing that person should do is check the status of it, EVEN IF YOU WERE THE ONE THAT JUST PUT IT DOWN 30 SECONDS AGO! When I receive a pistol to check out, it's ALWAYS the first thing I do. When I give it back, I leave the action open and then STILL insist the receiver checks the status of it as well. Some may call it overkill, but I call it good habits that should be automatic. I've also been to gun stores to check out guns, where the employee hands firearms to me without checking the status. It just boggles my mind.

I have a question. Can you travel on airlines with loaded mags? I would assume you can't. So, if you can't, how did he manage to load multiple mags without anyone seeing him? I don't see any mention of him going to the bathroom or anything. All I've read and heard so far, is that he retrieved his luggage, and starting shooting people. When did he load his mags? Or were they already loaded? If so, how did he fly with loaded mags in his luggage?

This link should work. That must've smelled nasty.

Got the following in an email today. Legislation Imposes Impossible Conditions on Most Ranges, Many Could Be Forced to Close Shooting Activities Shut Down On Ranges Unable to Comply Bills Impact Training, Target Practice, Competition, Hunters, Domestic Violence Victims, Military, Law Enforcement, Every Range & Range User, and More Please Contact Legislative Committee Members Immediately, And Attend Monday's Hearing PLEASE FORWARD THIS EMAIL TO EVERY GUN OWNER YOU KNOW! On Monday, December 5, at 2:00 p.m., the New Jersey Assembly Law & Public Safety Committee is scheduled to hear A4179 and A4180 - "suicide prevention" bills which have little actual impact on suicide but represent a massive attack on every shooting range in the state and every person who uses them. Please attend this critical hearing at the New Jersey State House Annex, 125 West State Street, Trenton NJ 08608 (room to be announced). There isn't a single gun owner, shooting range, gun club, instructor, hunter education student, or person trying the shooting sports for the first time who would not be impacted by these bills as presently written. The legislation as written also impacts rangework by active and retired law enforcement, military members, and various agency professionals. The bills as presently written would require the owner or operator of every range and gun club to verify that every range user has an FID card, NJ carry permit, or pistol purchase permit, along with government-issued photo ID, every time that person uses the range. That is an impossible burden for most ranges to meet - most ranges are unstaffed or staffed sporadically by volunteers. Few ranges have staff during all operating hours. NO SHOOTING ACTIVITY COULD OCCUR ON ANY RANGE THAT IS NOT STAFFED TO VERIFY CREDENTIALS. The bills as presently written would also prevent you from using your own firearms on a range unless the range first verifies your credentials, every time you use the range, and bans all temporary transfer on a range unless the range verifies the credentials of both the transferor and transferee. THIS IMPACTS A HUGE SWATH OF SECOND AMENDMENT ACTIVITY, INCLUDING TRAINING, COMPETITION, TARGET PRACTICE, OPEN HOUSES, RANGE GUESTS, HUNTER EDUCATION, WOMEN'S EVENTS, ETC. (see below for detailed examples). The bills, sponsored by Assemblyman Ralph Caputo (D28), are extremely overbroad and wide-ranging in their effect. Instead of narrowly addressing a specific limited problem, the bills cast an enormous net over every range in the state and every person that uses them, and would dramatically disrupt traditional Second Amendment activity that has occurred for decades without incident. Many ranges would be forced to close, and those able to stay open would be severely burdened and disrupted. We have communicated our concerns to Assemblyman Caputo and have been told that bill amendments are forthcoming, but our request to postpone the December 5 hearing has not been accepted. As a result, based on past experience, there will likely be confusion at the hearing Monday, as it is declared that last-minute amendments (that have not been fully analyzed) address our concerns, when in fact they do not. We have seen this scenario many times in the past on firearms legislation and we have not seen one instance where last-minute amendments have adequately addressed gun owner concerns. Please immediately contact all members of the Assembly Law & Public Safety Committee and Assemblyman Caputo and tell them to OPPOSE A4179 and A4180 or postpone the December 5 hearing. No one will be made safer by this legislation, and they should focus on targeted solutions directed at the specific issue they are trying to address, rather than a broad-brush approach that harms every NJ range and every person who uses them. Click here for Legislator contact information. Ultimately, A4179 and A4180 are based on a deeply flawed premise. Possession of a firearms ID card, pistol purchase permit, or carry permit is not an assurance that someone is not depressed or will not become depressed in the future. Nor would the legislation prevent those intent on committing suicide from doing so. Possession of a firearms credential is merely an indication of prior history, not present mental state. Mental health professionals opine that the most effective way to reduce suicide risk is to recognize warning signs based on present mental state, yet the legislation does not in any way address present mental state, nor does it pose solutions targeted to the specific problem it seeks to address. As written, all the legislation does is harm ranges and gun clubs, and interfere with the exercise of Second Amendment rights in New Jersey. Here are just a few examples of how this legislation, as currently written, would harm the entire Second Amendment community in New Jersey: *"No papers, no target practice." Every gun owner would be required to present NJ firearms credentials to the owner or operator of a range before being allowed to use their own firearms on that range, every time they use the range. What if you're from out of state? Sorry. What if the club doesn't have staff to check credentials? Too bad. * No shooting activities on unstaffed ranges (most gun clubs and ranges are not staffed). Shooting activity could only occur where staff exists to check credentials. Unstaffed ranges would lose members (because members wouldn't be allowed to shoot there), many clubs would be forced to close. * Staffed ranges forced to become the "FID police." Of the few ranges with staff, most are non-profit clubs with occasional volunteer staff who cannot be conscripted into becoming full-time agents of the state to verify credentials. The few ranges that do have paid staff would be burdened into hiring additional personnel to meet the state's demands. Ranges that cannot afford to check credentials during all hours of operation would lose members and some would be forced to close. * No more temporary transfer at ranges unless both parties have NJ credentials and display those credentials to the range owner / operator (regardless of whether the range is staffed or unstaffed - same concerns as above). New Jersey's longstanding law regarding temporary transfer of firearms on ranges has allowed hundreds of thousands of people to try many different shooting sports, without incident, before deciding whether to become a firearms owner. The legislation would shut down all of these lawful activities, including the ones discussed below. * "You have to become a gun owner before you decide whether you want to become a gun owner." FIREARMS TRAINING, OPEN HOUSES, RANGE GUESTS, WOMENS' EVENTS, SPECIAL PROGRAMS, etc. would be shut down and unavailable to anyone without a firearms credential. Most people considering firearms ownership try it first, before obtaining credentials to purchase firearms. All of this activity would be stopped, and would negatively impact many ranges and clubs in the legislation as currently written. "Sorry, you can't even try target practice until the state has investigated you." * Domestic Violence victims would be prevented from training with firearms while awaiting issuance of their firearm credentials, so they are proficient enough to protect themselves when their credentials are finally issued (in some jurisdictions, applicants wait over a year, in violation of state law). A domestic violence victim who does not yet have their firearms credentials should not be prevented from becoming trained and proficient in the meanwhile. *Hunter education impeded. NJ hunter education firearms safety classes require live fire range exercises, and the State makes firearms available to participants who don't have their own firearms. The legislation would prevent this activity unless the student and teacher already have credentials, which is not always the case. Ironically, this legislation interferes with hunter safety training, and the revenue it generates for the state. * Unsafe: Hunters prevented from sighting in or test-firing their firearms. Many out-of-state hunters sight-in their firearms or do test-firing at unstaffed wildlife management area ranges maintained by New Jersey. Those without NJ firearms credentials would be forbidden from doing so. But even hunters with NJ credentials (resident or not) would also be forbidden, since their credentials could not be displayed to the range owner / operator of an unstaffed wildlife management area range. * Competitions impacted. Shooting is an Olympic sport, and NJ competitors have produced Olympic medals. Competitors coming into NJ would be forbidden from using their own firearms, or from using fellow competitors' firearms, unless they have NJ credentials (most do not). Competitions would be severely impacted. * Prevents non-residents from participating in popular, lawful NJ shooting sports and activities unless they have NJ credentials (most do not). Cuts off significant revenue and commerce coming into NJ, from which the state benefits. Dramatically harms ranges throughout the state. * Military, Police & Agency range activities. As presently written, the legislation prevents anyone without an FID card, pistol purchase permit, or handgun carry permit from using their own firearms, or temporary transfer of others' firearms, on ranges. Active law enforcement in New Jersey rarely have these credentials, and many retired members of law enforcement do not obtain these credentials. Additionally, a whole host of military, agency, and other personnel are specifically exempted under NJ law from needing firearms credentials in the first place, and those personnel would also be impacted. * Overwhelms an already overburdened and dysfunctional permitting system. The legislation could result in a deluge of applications for FID cards or other credentials. ANJRPC's Permitting StrikeForce has already painstakingly documented permitting abuses rampant throughout New Jersey's 565 municipalities. Many applicants have waited more than a year to receive permits that are required by law to be granted or denied within 30 days. The legislation could stimulate tens of thousands of new applications, which would overwhelm the existing dysfunctional system and slow it even further, significantly burdening Second Amendment rights. * Toy guns included. Believe it or not, the use of BB guns and airguns would also be prohibited at shooting ranges in the absence of firearms credentials. That's because New Jersey law treats them as "firearms" even though they are considered toys everywhere else, and the legislation fails to exempt them from its overreach. Absurd! * Youth exempted, but not adults??? Bizarrely, A4179 preserves specific exemptions for target practice, instruction and training by minors who don't have credentials, yet provides no similar exemptions for adults. Do legislators actually believe that adults pose a suicide risk, yet minors do not? Please immediately contact all members of the Assembly Law & Public Safety Committee and Assemblyman Caputo and tell them to OPPOSE A4179 and A4180. No one will be made safer by this legislation, and they should focus on targeted solutions directed at the specific issue they are trying to address, rather than a broad-brush approach that harms every NJ range and every person who uses them.

I think, key word think as I'm not 100% educated on the topic either, but I think what you are experiencing is a lighter "feel" to the recoil. Since the slide is moving slower, the felt recoil is reduced. But this also means the front sight is coming back on target a tad bit slower. Someone correct me if I'm wrong please. Anyway, you're more than welcome to join me at Central Jersey one weekend if you want to shoot my gun and see if the recoil is something you wouldn't mind. I find it to be a very soft shooter.

Wouldn't a heavier than stock recoil spring cause the sights to get back a bit slower? I was under the belief that a heavier recoil spring was used for hotter loads, or to lengthen the barrels lock up time.

There's nothing wrong with the semi drop in either. You'll never know the difference in accuracy between the two unless you ransom rest it. Why do you want to go with a heavier spring?

I run a gunsmith fit Apex barrel in my 9 pro. I also have an Apex sear spring, and competition striker spring. However, I'm running the stock recoil spring assembly. You may want to head over to Smith and Wesson's forum and ask the question as there are a lot of Apex barrel users over there.

It's a tight fit but moves freely. Mine binds up a little bit but has been functioning 100%. He's got plenty of other ammo, it's just getting time to go to the range that's the issue. I'll report back when he does.

I did it. I also did the same exact to my gun that is running perfectly. Is there anything with improper barrel fitting that can cause stove pipes? The first few mags, the ejection pattern was normal and he had no malfuctions. Then, as he starts having stove pipes, I can see how weakly the brass is being ejected. I honestly don't think it's due to any after market parts, but I'm all ears. (Always more to learn) He's been trying to get to the range with other ammo, but hasn't had the time. (9 month old at home)

Sorry for the lack of info. New M&P9 Pro. Apex Tactical Semi Drop In Barrel, Apex Tactical Striker Spring, Sear, and Sear Spring. I'm just now watching videos of him shooting that day, and some of the brass is barely making it out of the gun. I'm almost 100% it was from some of the cartridges being loaded too light.

Anyone have issues with stove pipes with Blazer Brass? A buddy of mine had about 10 of them at the range last weekend. No, he's not a limp wrister.

^ This.

Yet, there will still be liberal morons who will still vote for her.

So I just watched this episode last night and have been avoiding coming into this thread. HOLY FUCK is what I have to say! That shit was so fucking disgusting and awesome at the same time. TWD reached a new level of fucked up last night, but at the same time pulled at your heart. My wife lost it when they showed them all sitting together having dinner, and Glenn was holding his child. I can't remember the last time a TV show had me on the edge of my seat like this episode did. My palms were sweating, my heart rate was elevated, and I hated and loved Negan at the same time. Only TWD can have you hate a character so much, but have that same character make you laugh as well while he's bashing in heads. Well done Jeffrey Dean Morgan, well done.
