    Does "reasonable deviation" apply to people with CCWs?  The reason I ask is because I think SCOTUS may hear Justifiable Need and (fingers cross) may overturn that.  Now, if that's the case, perhaps Sweeney is thinking that CCW in NJ is going to happen inevitably.

     

    I think they might try to get the 10 round mag thing in before that happens, or before people stop losing interest in gun-control.

    Whatever you do though I personally feel that going to a council meeting to make a law about shooting a bow is the wrong direction. Could he of hurt your family- absolutely. Again, the fault lies in the atrocious parenting he is receiving and not the hobby itself. As a gun owner in NJ you must feel some semblance about obtuse laws that punish the whole for the faults of the few. Imagine how difficult you'll make life for those who do shoot responsibly in your whole town.

     

     

    I agree with this.  Petitioning the town to change the law could affect someone who lives across town, has a proper backstop, and could have an acre buffer beyond that on all sides.  I'm telling you, he is already breaking trespass laws.  A lot of police do not know every nuance of every law.  Just because shooting arrows is not specified in your town's laws does not mean people can fire onto your property.  I'm not trying to agree with your neighbor, don't get me wrong.  I would be furious in your situation.

    Had two Sogs. Don't think they're worth the money. Had the rubber side panels deteriorate and fall off on one and both would dull too quickly. I have a Benchmark now and love it! Sturdy and stays sharp.

    I got my original FPID & one P2P when I lived in Branchburg in 38 days (2009) - the PD there in town is a pretty cool bunch to deal with.

     

    I Moved to Washington Borough in June of this year - the PD secretary took care of a change of address in about 21 days, and was VERY prompt getting the questionnaires out. 

     

    I was quite pleased both times.

     

    lol Dude that "amazing" that it took 38 and 21 days respectively.  Hell, I had to wait almost 7 months for mine in Clifton.  I just think it's kind of sad, compared with 45 other states, that getting your 2A rights within a month is "great".  Not trying to smack talk you, I'm just frustrated with NJ.  :banghead:

    I really like SOG knives, and it kind of bums me out that not many people I know, know about SOG.  This is an awesome video that's all about SOG and its history.

     

     

     

    SOG hosts TNP in what might be another Gold Star interview with a knife industry visionary, Spencer Frazer. If you watched my 2012 Earnie Emerson interview, then you will see this same realness and insight into a great knife company. As I have the privilegr to talk real with these industry leaders, I wish to capture these stories for posterity and fans of the brand. If like me you love SOG products, you see these 45 minutes fly by. Spencer, an Impressive Human, has the unique blend of both artistic and technical competency. And like us, his connects almost spiritually with a good knife. This was the impetus for him to re-create the amazing MAC-V SOG knife of Vietnam lore. He discusses the lean days when it was unsure the market would embrace such a cutting edge blade and the difficulty at getting it produced. Several cool guys like TNP friend and knife supplier Jeff Loffer helped him achieve his dream [!]. You will see the ORIGINAL SOG blades in Spencer's collection as we discuss this exodus from his cramped apartment in LA with his Chow Chow to the Lynwood, WA facility where we talk. You may be surprised at his involvement with the B2 bomber design as we visit (I was!). We discuss the role of key movies like Rambo and T2 in helping the tactical blade achieve greatness and 2nd Kind of Cool. I am convinced Sarah Connor as played by Linda Hamilton is my dream woman. Several key SOG models are discussed and how they broke new ground in the knife world, and like me, you will see Spencer is a believer in jimping done right! Several special knives just may emerge from this interview: a plum colored SOG Bowie special edition and a resurrected and Air Sog, another original Spencer design, with jimping, assist, deep carry clip, and improved steel. You will see even the Seki Japan knife masters saw the genius in this design; it deserves a second life. Make sure you go to SOG's facebook page and call them to help bring these projects to life. The time flies and I wrap our visit with Spencer, Chris, Nando and the whole SOG team with scenes of how TNP and SOG history intertwined...the knife that started it all./////////////////////////////A recommended retailer for SOG knives: www.cutleryshoppe.com, use code nutnfancy for free shipping.

    Is there a house on the property at all? I've been thinking about how expensive it would be buying a few of acres somewhere in PA in the middle of nowhere just to go out there and shoot.

     

    There are people in the area that do only own land.  My buddy's family bought 17 acres in the 70s for something to the tune of 20k.  This includes a large open field, a pond, woods, and a stream.  They built the house themselves and the barn later on.  Apparently the building restrictions are lax over there (compared with NJ).  I'd do it if I were you.  If you hunt, you can set up perches for deer season, or set up a range on your land if you want.  There's plenty of properties like this available in Wayne County (90 minute or so drive), so if you're mulling the idea, I'd pull the trigger.

    We shoot on my friends' lot up near Wind Gap.   Similar to what you described.  Rural area, ridge line as backstop.  Never seen a police car outside of the downtown area.  Full auto and everything else imaginable.

     

    Even on July 4th, we were launching some mundane Phantom Fireworks mortar shells, and the neighbor down the road began launching professional grade fireworks.  It was amazing.  Anything goes up there.

     

     

    Wow, no kidding..

     

    I got back, and boy was that fun.  It really is nice to be in an area where you're not looked at like some kind of nut.  I was kind of nervous going up there, since well...I've never done that before and we live in a state where I'd be a felon (probably) for doing so.  

     

    I need to get the hell out of NJ.  I can vote all I want for pro-gun legislators, but you can't change the culture.  

     

    Side note:  Open carrying in town was kind of cool too.  EVERYONE does it.

    Okay, so here's my question since I can't find anything on the forums or via Google:

     

    My buddy's family owns a lot of property in Pennsylvania.  There are no neighbors in a 500 yard radius.  I would imagine it would be legal for us to bring our guns and go shooting on his property.  It's not as if we would be shooting into an open field either.  There will be a back stop since the way the property is, there is a giant incline there.  I was wondering if anyone here is familiar with bringing guns into America and shooting "not at a range".  He's currently checking with the local PD as to an ordinance, but we're also not sure if they bs the way SOME PDs (P2P issues)  do here.

     

    Also, second question: How about bringing them off the property and shooting them into the woods (not his property)?  Is that allowed?

     

    I know a lot of people here aren't lawyers, but if the consensus is NO, then I'll take that as a no.  Thanks!

     

    EDIT:  Damascus, Wayne County is where we'll be.  Also, there are no ordinances against discharges listed on their website or with the county.  

     

    The thing that worries me is that all of us are residents of NJ.  None of us have any sort of hunting permits or PA licences (Open carry is still legal to us).

    I just saw this and I figured I'd share it here.

     

     

     

    Springfield Armory® is initiating this voluntary safety recall to upgrade 3.3 XD-S™ 9mm and 3.3 XD-S™ .45ACP pistols with new components, which eliminate the possibility of a potentially dangerous condition. We want to emphasize that no injuries have been reported to date.

    Springfield has determined that under exceptionally rare circumstances, some 3.3 XD-S™ 9mm and .45ACP caliber pistols could experience an unintended discharge during the loading process when the slide is released, or could experience a double-fire when the trigger is pulled once. The chance of these conditions existing is exceptionally rare, but if they happen, serious injury or death could occur.

    activegrenade,

     

    I usually watch VDMA videos on Youtube.  I think he does the most in-depth reviews on the internet.  Needless to say he knows his shit.  If you're looking at the Sigs, I don't think you can go wrong.  Before you shell out all that dough, I think you should look at EVERYTHING you can. Here are some vids he put out that caught my eye.  I'm personally looking at the FNX Tactical once I make the move to New Hamphire.

     

    Sig Sauer P220

    Heckler & Koch HK45

    Glock 21

    FN FNX 45

    FN FNX Tactical

     

    I also subscribe another channel, nutnfancy, here's some of his takes on the Sig P227.

    Thank you for the feedback.  I'm leaning towards the compact and am also researching the "ugly" Glock 19.....

     

    I would go with the full sized Px4 Storm.  However, she should definitely handle both of them.  Also, look into the Springfield XDm if you're also looking at the Glock 19.  Personally, I like the XD over the Glock.  Gun For Hire rents out firearms at their range (they carry all three of these) in Woodland Park and Ottomanell's gun store is right next door and they carry these three guns.  Let us know what you end up going with.

    I was there around a week ago.  I had walked in with a buddy of mine (who I've introduced to guns and converted him...he is currently going through the arduous process of getting an FID) to see if they had an hollow points in 9mm.  Unfortunately they didn't, but I really didn't expect them too either.  I didn't get his name, but there was an older gentleman behind the counter and he was very helpful and very kind.  He was talking about, and showed my friend some of the knives behind the counter as I perused their wares (I'm thinking about getting a new handgun).  Needless to say, I had a good experience.  We also talked about some of the laws (answers I knew, but just curious as to what he'd say) and he was knew what he was talking about.

     

    ON THE OTHER HAND

     

    In fairness to others, I understand what others on this thread have said about the "kids" that work there.  I have gone in, and witnessed them being condenscending to myself or people who aren't generally "knowledgable" as they are.  I would recommend calling and telling the owner/manager about this, and I guarantee you it will change.
