None of it makes sense because...The state passed a law that banned 60 firearms by name and then said that any firearm that was "substantially identical" was also banned. Somebody went to court and argued that "substantially identical" can't be defined. Who knows if a firearm is "substantially identical" to another firearm. The court agreed and let the AG write a better definition of "substantially identical". This is what the AG came up with and the Judge allowed it.

Everybody bought a 6 month supply 6 weeks ago. Everybody is stocked up. Nobody's going to buy TP for a long time. There are probably truck loads of the stuff now with no place to unload.

The info I read said that everyone had 2 years to comply. The Queen of Canada has said that the government will pay "fair" value for the guns when people turn them in.

That's true here too. Lots of bills already written and sitting on a shelf. Press conference speeches already written. Talking points for all members of the party drafted. Just waiting for the next tragedy to implement the plan.

I use TD Ameritrade. They're fine. Lots of "no transfer fee" funds and no commission on stock trades. I'm not really sure how they make money... As for services, They offer an "elite" service that I don't have. I don't day trade so I can live with the 15 minute delay in quotes and there are stock screeners available online so I don't need to pay for the high end screener. I guess don't get any services but I don't want any. I just want a place to put money and buy stocks and mutual funds. Never had a problem with them. How do they make money?

If that were true, he wouldn't be able to shut down the state parks that our taxes support. If the law had anything to do with it, he wouldn't be able to tell people not to peacefully assemble or not to bear arms. A lot is being allowed by royal decree - why not shutting the WMA's too?

I don't think it matters what they like. They have a master plan and they are required to follow that. Whatever the zoning is for that neighborhood, you are allowed to build anything that's lower on the hierarchy. Your attorney will talk to the city planner or to the planning board's attorney to remind him/her what their job is and you will get approval to build a commercial building in a commercially zoned neighborhood.

This is going to pass. It won't pass right now but the next time we have a democrat president, house, and senate it will absolutely pass. And, more bans will follow them. There is nothing we can do to stop it because each of us is only one vote and it's obvious that a big chunk of the country either doesn't agree with us or doesn't care about this one civil right. The only place this stuff has any chance of getting stopped is in the Supreme Court. In the last election, judge appointments was the most important issue and it will be the most important issue in the next one. We can elect a president and stop this stuff for 4 years but if that president appoints a justice to SCOTUS, we can stop this stuff for 30 years.

I don't know what you're paying but putting a steel building on an empty lot is a lot less hassle than a house you can't occupy and will have to maintain.

That's a long drive to get something fabricated.

I spent hundreds of hours using "Walt's Welding" shovels and hoes. Nobody made ones that were as durable or as well thought out. They also make trailers and used to do a lot of custom welding but I don't know if they still do that or not. As a kid, I was in his shop several times picking up something custom that he had fabricated.

My first gun purchase was at Rays. .22 Beretta 21A handgun with the tip up barrel. I haven't lived in that area for a long, long time. I didn't know Rays was no longer in business.

I suspect the President's guidance gave Murphy a way to change his position on gun shops and still save face. "keeping" arms requires being able to purchase them. I think he knew he would lose that fight in federal court. But, there is no Constitutional provision that protects the right to shoot recreationally, he's more likely to win that one so he's not budging on range closures.

I suspect a fatigue failure from thousands and thousands of cycles of flexing, instead of a single event. A single event would have resulted in something being bent - maybe also cracked, but definitely bent. And, from the location of the cracks, the flexing was in the direction of the axis - like when the bottom of an oil can is pressed in and out - as if the transmission and engine were moving toward and away from each other. This part is speculation since I don't know much about transmissions: I don't know if it's possible that the transmission input shaft was moving forward and backward, maybe as the transmission was shifting? A tiny bit of movement can result in fatigue failures if it happens enough times.

I don't remember the guy's name - others here will. He was kidnapped by a motorcycle gang TWICE and managed to escape both times. He was denied a permit because he didn't have a "justifiable need". You can't get one in NJ and you can't have a handgun in your possession without a permit unless you are at home or traveling between home, gun range, gun shop, or your own business (that you own and is stationary). Sorry. As you said: SOL.

I've sent guns to the manufacturer and they sent them back to me. Packed in my own box and dropped off at the nearest drop off location. I did ship second day air (I think) because it provided better tracking. I think all UPS packages provide tracking now. I didn't tell anyone what was in the box and nobody asked. It arrived back at my door shipped UPS..

Google the rules for inheriting firearms in NJ before you fill out the Form of Voluntary Registration. If the firearm wasn't listed in the will, it's not as simple as it should be. I don't want you to get the answers wrong and end up with problems.

Mistakes happen. Sounds like they made it right and he went back to the store and got his 3 mags. I'd be annoyed that I had to drive back to the gun shop a second time but worse things have happened.

The instructor training mostly focuses on how to teach. The NRA course material that the instructors use to teach the student classes covers the mechanics. During the instructor courses, you take the Basic Instructor Training first. This is a 2 day course that's 100% how to teach. Once you have that out of the way, you can take any of the disciplines: pistol, rifle, shotgun, etc. In the individual instructor discipline courses, you go through the course material for that course. You will teach a portion of it in front of the rest of the group. This is also a how-to-teach course but it focuses on how to teach that course's material - so you are exposed to the material but that's not the purpose of the instructor training. If you want to really refine your shooting, teach shooting. In everything I've done, shooting or otherwise, I always learned more as an instructor/trainer than I did as a student.

Dry firing while keeping the sights on target and pulling the trigger slowly and deliberately. Instead of wasting range time going click, click, click she can do this at home after your session is done. The more time spent, the better. I did exactly this to loose my flinch. The other is pulling the trigger slowly enough that she doesn't know when the gun is going to fire while focusing on keeping the sights on target. This not only helps with a flinch or anticipation, it helps to overcome the issue of all of your hand muscles moving when you pull the trigger with just one finger. Make a fist, now move your trigger finger several times. Hard to keep your whole hand from moving isn't it? I don't know how big or strong she is. I took a group of teens shooting a couple of weekends ago. One of the girls was just not able to handle a 9mm without it hurting her hand. She loved shooting .22 though and was doing it well. You'll never get rid of a flinch if it hurts every time she pulls the trigger. If that's the case, she has too good a reason to flinch.

NJAG's office will intervene. There will be no charges for making a false police report.

Sounds like we now have the right to be denied in person instead of by mail. All of the constitutional violations are still in place. I can't even picture a strategy that makes this a step toward anything useful. I'd like to be wrong. If we ever get any relief in NJ, it will come from SCOTUS, not from inside this state. And, unfortunately, SCOTUS hasn't been interested in the second amendment in a long, long time.

For a one-time job, Harbor Freight has beam type torque wrenches pretty cheap. I've never used one so I can't tell you if they're any good or not.

I disagree. I have a business in NJ. Is it my job to make sure that residents of Alabama are following their state laws when they buy something from me? I don't think so. And even if it was, not if ownership of that thing is guaranteed in the Bill of Rights?
