  1. Read the whole statute. To be illegal the magazine must be able to hold more than 10 rounds AND be able to continuously feed them into a semi auto firearm. The mags you use with a .22LR conversion are completely different from a 5.56/.223 magazine. There is no way a .22LR round will feed from a 5.56/.223 mag especially if you stuff 11 of them in there - they would not stack properly. A prosecutor would have to ignore the statute to write up a charge. He could just as easily charge you with wearing green pants on a Wednesday. Don't worry about being charged with offenses that are completely imaginary. You can't think of them all, and you would never do anything.
  2. Yes. I had someone qualify with a Ruger SR-22 a couple of weeks ago. His holster for his carry gun hadn't arrived in time. The gun was purple, not that it makes any difference.
  3. There are basically 2 risks. One is extractor damage which is pretty low on a pivoting extractor design like a Glock. The traditional extractor on a 1911 is spring steel and it simply not designed to move out far enough to jump the rim of the case. The second issue is that the case rim is not designed to have the extractor jump over it, so repeated loading like this with the same round could deform the rim so the extractor doesn't get a proper purchase on it. That in turn could lead to a failed extraction. It is less of an issue with brass cased ammo than a softer material such as aluminum. To mitigate the second risk, when you can use your uplula, swap the round you're chambering, with one from the magazine periodically. Maybe mark the chambered round with a sharpie so you don't swap back to it on a later rotation.
  4. DRGO has guidance on this: https://5ee4cd.p3cdn1.secureserver.net/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/gun-question-resource-2.pdf
  5. I just don't go to prohibited places on my bike
  6. If it is loaded it has to be on you. If it is not on you, it must be unloaded and in a case. If you leave it in your car it must be unloaded and either in a secured case or locked in the trunk.
  7. Walter is witty. Biden is witless.
  8. Sure. But why not toss it into the glove box to remove any doubt. Or take it with you. My spare mag very seldom leaves my pocket.
  9. I used them during my divorce. Surprise, surprise my ex filed a TRO. Because gunsitters took ownership of my guns, when NJSP came calling to seize them, all I had to do was show them the receipt from gunsitters and they went away satisfied. When the divorce was over, I was able to get my FPIC back and take back my long guns after a NICS check. For the handguns, I had to get a PtPP for each one and filed for an OGAM exemption so I could get everything in one transfer under a single NICS approval. There's paperwork and fees which are a huge PITA and take a few months to complete, but I'm not a prohibited person because of any firearms being seized and not returned to me. My advice is for your friend to get it done and sooner than later. After the TRO is too late.
  10. Laws prohibit behavior. If it is silent on where the mag must be, you can do anything you like with it. Take for example the admin code for state parks. That prohibits guns and ammo, so you can't carry the ammo in a state park. For most of the other sensitive places, the law is silent, so you can do what you want.
  11. You are reading it correctly. Part b.(1) is enjoined by the preliminary injunction so carrying in a car is allowed. Part b.(2) is not enjoined, so it is still in effect.
  12. Where are you getting that from? The statute I quoted is from here: https://lis.njleg.state.nj.us/nxt/gateway.dll/statutes/1/2750/3546?f=templates&fn=default.htm&vid=Publish:10.1048/Enu This is the state's own repository for the statutes.
  13. There is no requirement for people who already have their permit to submit an SP.182a. The statute calls for the PD to determine the gun(s) you intend to carry as part of the application process. You are not applying. You are merely complying with the change in training requirements. I can understand the reluctance to acknowledge every unnecessary thing they receive, and I can particularly understand ignoring unnecessary stuff received on Christmas day.
  14. I think you have answered your own question. So long as the box is out of sight when under the seat, why not? Also note, the statute says nothing about being tethered to the vehicle. It says one option is a securely fastened case - a soft pistol slip with the zipper closed would suffice. I'm not saying that is the best idea, just taking the words of the statute on their face. The statute speaks only about the firearm. There is no stipulation on what you must or must not do with the magazine.
  15. So you made me look it up - ya bugger! 2C:58-4.6 Prohibited areas, carrying, firearms, destructive device. 7. Places where the carrying of a firearm or destructive device is prohibited. ... b. (1) A person, other than a person lawfully carrying a firearm within the authorized scope of an exemption set forth in subsection a., c., or l. of N.J.S.2C:39-6, who is otherwise authorized under the law to carry or transport a firearm shall not do so while in a vehicle in New Jersey, unless the handgun is unloaded and contained in a closed and securely fastened case, gunbox, or locked unloaded in the trunk of the vehicle. (2) A holder of a valid and lawfully issued permit to carry a handgun shall not leave a handgun outside of their immediate possession or control within a parked vehicle, unless the handgun is unloaded and contained in a closed and securely fastened case, or gunbox, and is not visible from outside of the vehicle, or is locked unloaded in the trunk or storage area of the vehicle. Part b.(1) was blocked by the preliminary injunction, but part b.(2) was not. It is pretty clear that leaving a loaded gun in your vehicle is not allowed (emphasis added)
  16. That says handgun OR ammunition. A loaded gun is a handgun AND ammunition. I think you're on dicey ground if anyone broke into your car and took your loaded gun. I don't think we should have to disarm anywhere. These so-called sensitive places where we're supposedly going to find significant numbers of vulnerable people are precisely where responsible, law abiding adults SHOULD be carrying.
  17. NJNICS is closed on Sundays so even if the FFL is open the BG check won't start until Tuesday.
  18. Doesn't the dust cover defeat the purpose? You're not going to do a very quick mag change if you have to pry the mag cover off mid way.
  19. What did I say that was wrong, even a little bit? They do use d-m-y in Europe. The m-d-y method is used in the US. I never said it was used exclusively. The US military also use Zulu time (AKA GMT or UTC - minor differences, but close enough for government work). Does that mean EST doesn't exist? or that daylight savings doesn't kick in every year?
  20. Maybe it is that after nabbing as many rocket scientists as we could after WWII, we're still taking newer weapon technology from an Austrian?
  21. Which leads to the uninformed believing that the AR-15 is the same as the M16.
  22. I guessed so too, but words have meanings and we are constantly under attack from the gun banners using the tactic of changing language to suit their purposes. I am constantly irritated by people, even those who are supposedly on our side, saying that people are killed BY guns. They are not killed BY a gun. They are killed BY a person WITH a gun. However, by subtly changing the language, the gun becomes the evil thing, not the person wielding it, and so gun bans gain support. How about banning evil people?
