Good for them. A killer response would have be more like: "We are aware of the current pricing of our products in the market. At Sturm, Ruger & Co. Inc., we would never even consider raising our prices despite the recent surge in demand and certainly didn't expect our distributors or dealers to either. Going forward, we will be following the situation closely and will evaluate the professional agreements we have in place with those who sell our firearms and accessories. Our goal has always been to supply quality products to our loyal consumers at fair prices. If we as a company feel we need to take action to ensure that goal is maintained, we will take it." Obviously it would never happen, but it would be interesting to watch the distributors who are marking things way up squirm.

You able to find any P99 mags? I heard they work in the Classic PPQ's.

If you are going with a 226, I'd say definitely get it in .40 S&W. With a .40 you can buy a factory Sig barrel in .357 Sig and just drop it in. No new slide is necessary. If you want a 9mm you can order a conversion barrel from BarSto and drop that that in without an X-Change kit either. With a factory .40 the only thing you really need an X-Change kit would be for the .22LR.

I didn't see anything on TV, but they had a video and article up online. http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-18563_162-57571712/father-of-slain-sandy-hook-child-pleads-for-gun-control/

This was in no way scientific, but I totaled up the number of CCW permits issued that are listed on this website and came up with 9.15 million. Now even if we were to assume that everyone only has 1 permit from one state (no one is double, triple, or quadruple counted) and divide that by the 2012 estimated population of 314 million, you come up with a 2.914% carry rate. I suspect it's higher but if the HuffPost was remotely informed, they'd realize 27.6% is a whooping percentage when compared to the general population and ask why do so many teachers say they would be armed at school if they could. There are 7 million teachers in the US. If the quarter of them would carry, as the poll suggests, that'd be 1.75 million armed teachers. If I want to shoot a bunch of people, I'm probably going to avoid places where I have a one in four chance of running into another person with a gun. A better article would investigate why a quarter of teachers "are crazy enough to want to carry a gun in school."

Next the government will be able to prosecute you and you'll have to prove your innocence in court... Wait that sounds familiar... Silly NJ...

Not passed yet, but like us they are well on their way.

If he his ignoring your attempts to contact him and has relisted the sale, you shouldn't cut him any breaks and talk to Gunbroker.

From what I understand, employing deadly force to protect property such as a car is illegal in NJ. If you are attacked after you stumble upon them stealing your car, you have a much better case of self-defense. I have family members that are police officers and federal agents and I have had them say to me, "Don't talk to cops. Get a lawyer." Now that doesn't mean you should act like an ass, but talking can get you in a mess even if you didn't do anything wrong. Why do you think unions have fought to allow officers involved in shootings a longer window in which to make a statement about what happened. It isn't so they can concoct a story, it's so they can collect their thoughts and choose the words that fit what happened. Say you find yourself in the scenario above with the car. By calling the perp a "car thief" instead of a violent aggressor or attacker, your words could get twisted around. A lawyer could say you shot the "thief" because he was stealing your stuff, not because he attacked you and you feared for your life. NJ law is a total mess...

They mostly relied on interviews with friends, neighbors, and people from the community. It gave me a little more insight than I had otherwise. Apparently he was highly anti-social but never openly violent or hostile. He was diagnosed with a rare social associative disorder and later a form of Asperger's syndrome. The mother's biggest mistake was moving him in and out of different schools and trying to take on the burden of his mental illness alone. She had a local support group she never took advantage of, the public high school administrator thought they were making progress with socializing him and getting him involved with other students but she removed him and home schooled instead. Friends thought she only recently came to the realization that her son would never be able to lead a normal life and fully care for himself. From there, she was looking for a special college level program for him and the speculation was she did indeed find one and was making plans to move the two of them out west. Who know's what finally set him off, but I suspect he was done trying something new and ended it instead.

Double post

I'd be more than happy with any of the big manufacturers saying that they'll honor their government contracts when it comes to servicing and replacing firearms. However, all new sales and contracts for domestic agencies would be limited to civilian legal firearms only. It'd be a tough sell to those in the boardroom, but I think would see a huge increase in the civilian demand for their products. I fear right now though, that increase in demand would be wasted and the CEO types know it. I say wasted because many of their guns are out of stock as is and suppliers have back-orders in that'll take them a year to fill. Cutting government contracts would only make sound business sense when the store shelves start becoming stocked again. If they were to do it then I think they'd make up those lost contracts, at least in the short term. They prize the LEO/military contracts first and foremost for the prestige that'll give them credibility in the civy market, not for the volume of sales it gives them.

That "paper" and i use the word losely is a total joke. Make sure you send them something that spells out exactly why you cancelled so on their books they can chalk up the loss of another subscriber to the SL Editorial Board.

A state willing to lose jobs. See the Magpul controversy

The police have said the investigation will be complete by the beginning of summer. June IIRC. What exactly they release and how detailed the information is anyone's guess.

Colorado edit: specified portion of Duppie's quote

I've never really liked the look of Beretta's but if they do pull out of MD and help some of their employees come with them, you can bet they would get a purchase or two from me. Unless of course, S&W Sig or Glock step up and make a stand (which I doubt).

2C:39-3. Prohibited weapons and devices - among other things states: Legal at your home, illegal on the streets. However, I'm NOT a lawyer and this isn't legal advice.

Check it out here. I know it's been gone over a thousand times with the Star Ledger, but these generic "Board" editorials never cease to amaze me. It's almost like they write these, they end up so ridiculous that no one wants to put their name on it, so they go with the "SL Editoral Board" instead.

I wish she had the numbers from the State Police UCR when he asked about whether we have a crime problem in our cities. We absolutely do! Direct from the report (my emphasis added): Note: the "Urban 15" include Bayonne City, Elizabeth City, Paterson City, Camden City, Irvington Town, Trenton City, Clifton City, Jersey City, Union City, Toms River Twp., Newark City, Vineland City, East Orange City, Passaic City, and Woodbridge Twp.

Apparently in NJ anything that passes the Democrat controlled committee process, will pass on the floor.

Done. Good luck to ya

Still craving for a compliant Rec7 in 6.8 SPC

Hell will freeze over before NJ get's a FL Stand Your Ground type law, but until then a situation like this will end up in the hands of lawyers. IMHO not something you want to mess around with.
