I guess the left will start calling for common sense 3D “printer control”. (:-)

I certainly find myself amused by his expression of concern. I very much look forward to the defcad website being back up. I hope every 2A advocate nationwide downloads every available file. Can’t wait to hear the ensuing msm coverage.

Am listening to Sec of State Mike Pompeo testimony to a Congressional committee. Just started. Committee is chaired by Corker and Menendez. In his opening statement Sen Menendez specifically expresed his concern about this ruling, completely out of the context of the hearing. Certainly another indication of his disdain of our 2A rights. Am paraphrasing, but he questioned why the “administration is allowing people to make their own guns that are undetectable.” Clearly this ruling is a thorn in his.....

I own a Mossberg 590 8+1 and fully understand the fact that a pump is not subject to the various AWB feature restrictions. However isn’t this 20 round mag itself still subject to the mag ban? OR is it ok because it does not fit any existing semi-auto firearm?

How times have changed. When my friend and I applied for our FIDs in 1974, the JCPD detective bureau was very helpful.

Judging soley by the wording of the Reuter's article you linked to, perhaps the distinction is between "openly carrying" vs "concealed carry". Ie this new ruling is in favor of open carry outside the home while the earlier ruling may speak to concealed carry in particular not being allowed in public. Would need to read the court document itself but no time now to do that at the moment.

An update; I have had a break from constant business travel and am using the time to catch up on my outstanding todo list. One of which is the above. So I have composed and will be sending a letter to Citibank this afternoon cancelling a credit card account which I have had with them for 28 years. I was clear in my letter as to why I am cancelling and also included a copy of their March 22nd Firearms Policy. One down, more to go.

I have US Law Shield for my wife and I, with 50 state coverage. I just recently renewed for my 2nd year. I carry the card in my wallet. In the event of any legal issues related to my firearms ownership, I am keeping my mouth shut and dialing that number. Nappen’s firm will answer the call and I will take guidance from them.

I agree that it is not worth the risk of taking my 15 round mags to the range until the legal challenge/injunction is sorted out. This was also again mentioned in the most recent G4Hire podcast. I already had some Glock 10 round mags on hand so will use them in the interim. With that in mind, yesterday I segregated and set aside all my mags >10 rounds. If the new law holds, I will store my mags out of state. Out of principle, I have no intention of selling, modifying, destroying, etc my property. With the above said, there is one aspect to this range transport discussion that has not been surfaced. It also occurred to me that my primary home defense handguns have 15 round mags in them. Wondering if it would also be prudent to swap them out for 10 rounders. In the context of a self defense shooting, I could see a NJ prosecutor using that against you with a jury. E.g “He used a now illegal deadly battlefield military style high capacity clip...”. Thoughts on their continued legality for self defense in the home? (IANAL)

I am a 30 year + IT professional. OP, excellent thread and advice. In all instances, I use different difficult to guess passwords. Whenever 2 way authentication is available, I use it. For keeping track of what has grown to over 300+ user ids and passwords, I use Keepass. I have it installed on my home pc and all database changes are done there. I periodically copy the db file to my iPhone which I treat as read only. Keepass is straightforward and has fit my needs. I specifically did NOT want a program that autofills websites. Now if I could only convince my wife to think the same regarding password selection .....(:-)

Days ago when I first heard they were found, I assumed an easy rescue. Now that I have learned of their true predicament, it is a horrible nightmare. Even when dry, I have a hard time accepting the wisdom of hiking 2.5 miles into an underground labyrinth.

IANAL. However I did recently post my full advice re q26 in another recent thread. When i find it, i will direct you to it. With that said, your were treated for heart palpitations, not a mental or psychiatric condition. Hence you can truthfully answer NO.

First got interested in Firearms when I was 21(am 65 now). back in 1974, I purchased a High Standard Sharpshooter 22LR pistol with an approx 5" inch bullpup barrel. Still have it and shoot it occasionally. Great shooter. My big regret over these many years is not having purchased a 7.25" fluted barrel for it. At the time I had obtained a $38 quote from HS for it but did not ever purchase it. However, the story has a happy ending. Last year I purchased a stainless steel Ruger Mark IV Hunter with it's 7" fluted barrel. (Interestingly, the HS also had a one button takedown. Albeat much harder to depress than my modern Ruger.)

Per the links above and the original lapd press release, his original arrest was Sept 16, 2004. So eleven years had already passed when he filed his 2015 lawsuit. Certainly a travesty of justice.

Louu, With regards to the often stated phrase "oh your crazy, that will never happen here." I agree with you in that I believe it absolutely could happen here given the right circumstances over time. I think it's a function of the human condition, governments, and control. Google "JFPO Genocide Chart". The LOW end of the range of people killed by their own governments in the 20th century is 70+ million. I would venture to guess that there was a time in every one of those countries when the citizenship thought "it could never happen here". Perhaps, just perhaps, part of the reason it has not yet happened here is because we have had a 2nd Amendment.

Given the very challenging times we are experiencing especially here in NJ, I am taking the liberty of reposting something here that I had posted in the 1st Amendment section three years ago. The broader membership, including the many new forum members that have joined since that time, might benefit from reading it. It as relevant today, if not even more, than it was then. In the many recent threads on the new laws just passed, there is lots of discussion about what the government can or cannot due, might or might not due, or could do if they had the will, etc. I feel it is important to be reminded of history and what ACTUALLY HAPPENED as a point of fact. As has often been said, if we ignore history we are destined to repeat it. My post was as follows: Recently finished reading “Gun Control in the Third Reich-Disarming the Jews and Enemies of the State” by Stephen P. Halbrook. I strongly urge anyone who values our freedoms to read it. Despite the title, it actually covers the period from the birth of the Weimar Republic in 1918 thru the Nazi regime in 1938 and the “Night of Broken Glass”. For me, what is most striking about this book are the parallels between what took place then, and the gun rights challenges we face in the present times. To name a few examples taken directly from various sections of the book: • Vague firearms laws that were harshly enforced • Decree(s) requiring the surrender of all firearms and ammunition else punishment of X years in prison • During the timeline covered by the book; possession of a firearm or ammunition was also punishable by being arrested, shot on the spot, or being sent to concentration camps. • Entire populations being designated as “undesirable” or “unreliable” and banned from possession of firearms. This included not only the Jews but also anyone labeled, for example, as a gypsy or a communist. • Forced Registration. Before Hitler came to power, the government assured that these records would be protected and remain private. Guess what. Subsequently the Nazi’s later took control of these records and used them to further confiscate and persecute gun owners. • Mass confiscations • Needing to convince the local authorities of your need for a firearm and obtain their approval (sound familiar?) • Manufacture and importation of arms severely limited. • Preventing sporting clubs from providing instruction or training to their members. Later, such clubs and associations were banned and/or taken over by the government. • Massive police raids, house to house searches, and confiscation of “military” weapons from civilians. • Need for a license to acquire a firearm or ammunition whether the transaction is commercial or private. • Trade in firearms prohibited at annual fairs, shooting competitions,and other events. • Government officials and police exempted from most of these onerous laws. And so on. As has often been said; “History Repeats Itself”. This is more than reason enough for us to remain ever vigilant to protect our 2nd Amendment Rights.

I have not ordered from sgammo in the past. However based on your post I perused their website. Very good selection of ammo types and excellent pricing. Will definitely try them for my next order. Thanks.

Some vendors will require a copy of your DL and FID card. Some if purchasing handgun ammo, others for any ammo purchase. I have purchased from various online vendors and never had any issue.

Hi, a follow-up to my Nov 6, 2017 post above. Finally managed to get out to EFGA's 100 yard range several weeks ago with my RPR. Shot the remainder of ammo choices I had purchased. Bottomline is the following seven brands/types of factory ammo(I do not reload.) will be my primary "goto" ammo when purchasing match grade for my RPR. Now that I have narrowed my choices to these; I will be focusing on buying these online and building up an "adequate" onhand supply. Black Hills Ammunition D556N19 556 Nato 77 grain TMK Tipped MatchKing Federal Premium Gold Medal Berger, 73 grain #GM223BH73 Federal Premium Sierra Match King, Gold Medal Match, 77 grain #GM223M3 Gorilla #GA22377SMK 223 Rem 77gr Sierra Matchking Hornady Black #80267 223 75 grain BTHP Norma Sierra MatchKing HPBT TAC-223 77 grain #10157502 Sig Sauer Elite Match #E223M1 77 grain OTM Match All of these shot 1 MOA or better based on a 5 shot group. If I counted the best 4 out of 5 shots, then most came in close to or under half moa. Noteworthy are the Sig Sauer with which I managed to shoot a 5 shot 0.307 MOA group. Left the range very happy. The rifle, with it's 1:7 twist clearly likes 73-77 grain bullets.

Round 3 sent as well.

Just also sent the email from my other Gmail account, using the web browser access. For those of you who have not done it yet, don't wait. The process requires only several minutes of your time. In response to my earlier first email, I did receive 4 or 5 form letter email responses. In one case, the response did begin with "Dear Arthur" so perhaps someone actually initiaited tht response. In addition to the ANJRPC verbiage, I also added a paragraph of my own to express my personal concerns.

Ok done! I was unable to send it using the Windows Live Mail program on my Windows PC. Kept receiving an error. Per the suggestion above, I logged directly into my gmail account using my web browser and had no issues. It sent to everyone in a single go. Also received the auto reply from Assemblyman Wayne P. DeAngelo. regards, Art

With the caveat IANAL, In the past, I have had reason to think long and hard about this topic. You may be able to search and find some of my past posts on this topic. So a few “bottomline” thoughts as follows: 1. The more relevent issue is how you will answer question #26 on the STS-033 form. IMO you clearly need to answer “Yes”. In particular , note words “ever” and “outpatient “ that are part of the question. 2. Lying on the STS-033 form is a felony. Said felony would disqualify you from ever owning forearms. Hence you must be truthful. You do not want to lie and forever have to worry about the lie being discovered, whether now or anytime in the future. 3. Given you answer "Yes" to Q#26, in the box state "See attached letter" and include a carefully written letter describing your issue and treatment. See Lambo's recommendation above. Keep it short, simple, and factual. 4. Once you answer "Yes", you will by definition always have to answer "Yes" on future STS-033 applications. But at least you will be able to make reference to the fact you have been approved in the past(ie your current application). 5. The mental health form is so they can check with the county to see if you were ever committed to a mental institution. With that said, some police depts will use that to dig deeper. 6. Hopefully your application will be processed smoothly and promptly. HOWEVER, once you start this process, you must be must be ready to see it through it's ultimate conclusion no matter what, even if it requires a doctor's note, lawyer, appeal to Superior Court, whatever. You do not want to be Denied by your local PD and let that decision stand. Msg me privately for any further questions you may have.

Ant, I appreciate your and Sandy’s effort to have the senator on the show. I also appreciate and respect the senator for attending. While her position on key 2A issues seems solidly entrenched, the start of communication and in person relationship building can only help over time. Time will tell.

I purchased a Crickett last year for my then 7 year old grandson. So far have taken him to an outdoor range twice. A wonderful grandfather-grandson experience. Is single shot and the right size for him. My fullsize 22lr rifle is much too big for him.
