    Good rally, but I wish we could have gotten more! With 1 million gun owners, I don't see any reason why we shouldn't get at least a few thousand people. Of course, I was able to get a spot in the Lafayette garage, so maybe I shouldn't complain? :p Oh, and I agree that it was cold! I wore wool socks, thermals, a waffle henley, fleece, jacket, gloves and a winter hat, and I was still cold until I was able to get into the sun! :blush: Maybe I should move to another state for the warmer weather instead of just the guns? :lol:

    Great deal!  You can never have too much ammo.  

    In normal situations I would agree...but when you're thinking of moving far enough away that you'd normally fly, and realize that almost any moving company won't touch the stuff, things get a little awkward. Let's just say that I might be making a very long drive with a few hundred extra pounds in my trunk at some point in the next few months. :lol:

    That actually looks nice. All the stuff they've sent me over the years is nothing but junk, and I wish they'd spent that money on lobbying efforts or lawsuits instead. I actually wish there was a "please don't send me the crappy folding knife" option when I opted in for EZ pay life. :p

    Considering how 20+ year old "kids" are tending to delay adulthood longer and longer, is it any wonder that someone would propose raising the age limit for rifles? I'm not trying to defend them or this awful idea, but I think it's obvious that a very large swath of 18-25 year olds in this country aren't mature enough to feed and clothe themselves, let alone own a weapon.

    This is a symptom of much larger issues with our society, but unfortunately the "easy" fix is to go after the freedoms of everyone instead of dealing with the actual problems.

    With that said, I'll send something. I'd rather we address the actual issues, and the good people don't deserve to have their rights stripped away from them.

    I got in on EZ pay life over the summer at $600. $25 per month for the next year or so and they even threw my recent 2 or 3 year membership dues towards it. I've been a member for 10+ years paying the annual or semi-annual rate and figured I couldn't imagine a scenario where I wouldn't be a member.

    NRA isn't perfect, but it's the biggest hammer we've got. They just need to swing it a bit more and we need to vote out the fudds. :lol:

    I'd probably give it a few more weeks before going to an indoor range just to be safe. Even doubled up, it can still be loud at an indoor range, especially if anyone's shooting a shotgun or something with a muzzle brake. Heck, I've doubled up at Range 14 on at least one occasion. It all depends on what the guy next to you is shooting.

    I will add in some extra advice, get shooting glasses for ear muffs. They are wire thin and otherwise require ear muffs to even stay on lacking an ear loop. Smith makes some nice ones, a bit pricey but worth it. 

    ESS Crossbow Suppressor is a great option as well, which is what I have. My earmuffs seal very nicely while wearing them.

    I don't give a damn about bump stocks. If they're banned or regulated via a law, so be it. My issue is HOW they want to go about banning them. A regulation from an unelected and unaccountable bureaucracy is not how this should be done. It sets precedent and opens too many doors for the next administration to ban whatever they want through executive Fiat. This will end badly.

    If you think that no one points out that ARs are no different than any other .223 or even any other semi auto then you haven’t been paying attention. The point is gun grabbers don’t care. They target whatever they think they can get rid of and then win or lose will turn their attention to the next firearm until they are all gone.

     

     

    Exactly. The AR-15 is the low hanging fruit. You also have an entire country that doesn’t remember, or chooses not to remember, that civilians could buy full auto M16s back in the early to mid 80s. There was a waiting period, background check and tax stamp, but that was it AFAIK. Thank NRA for that one.

    I bought on 2/10 and the price dropped 1/3 for the exact item I ordered.  I called them to see if they could do and they said there was nothing they can do.  They wouldn't credit my account or anything.  I won't be buying from them again.

    I would check to see if your credit card has a price protection feature. Only bad thing is you’d be telling your CC company that you bought ammo.

    I wish there was more time in the segment. I think that Scott could have made that councilman look like a total fool with a bit more time. I thought he did well overall though. I do wish that Scott had countered the “we have Police” comment by bringing up that he in fact was a Captain in the Police, and that the vast majority of police work is reactionary, aka after the fact. That would have been pure ownage IMO. 

    Oh, am I the only one who got a kick out of the opening scenes of the guy shooting? Kinda looks like Alex Roubian of NJ2AS.

    Even if you found someone willing to sell you a long gun in another state, without the NJ FID you'd be committing a felony. Getting your FID isn't terrible. The worst part is likely having to wait past the legally-allowed 30 day limit and wondering if they found something that disqualifies you. I find that writing a respectful letter to your chief of police usually helps if you're stuck in limbo.

    They should also sue for our FID process. Too many towns drag their feet, not to mention it’s obnoxious to do the whole process when you move and/or want to buy another handgun. Should just pay for the background check and if that comes back clean (as it should if you already have an FID and handgun permit) you get your new permit.

    I got the feeling from DSG Bloom’s talk at  SAFECON 2017 that the Firearms Investigation Unit may be able to address pretty much all FID issues on their own. By centralizing the process and doing it all online, they could eliminate the headaches without a lawsuit, all while probably saving the state & towns money and resources. It all depends on if/when the NJSP gets it all done, though.

    Sadly when you manufacture mass quantities or anything, quality control isn’t going to be the best.

    :blink: I work as an engineer in a manufacturing environment, and I'm not sure where you're getting your information from. Mass manufacturing processes have increased product reliability across the board, all while increasing production output and driving prices lower. There's a reason why a modern vehicle that was assembled by robots tends to last much longer, with lower relative maintenance costs, than a vehicle that was assembled by hand. With regard to guns, I would venture that modern, mass-produced firearms are, on average, more reliable and last longer than anything used in WWI or WWII. Any issue the M17s are having are most likely due to design flaws, or not having robust manufacturing processes in place. The shoddy execution of mass manufacturing is the likely issue, not mass manufacturing in general. Any company that strives for 6-sigma quality levels isn't making anything by hand, and makes millions (or more) of units of their product per year.

    On a different note, I've shot 1200+ rounds through my P320 without an issue yet, but I tend not to drop it in mud and keep it clean/lubed, so my abuse level is rather low. :p

    If you REALLY want to register it you can at your local PD, but it isn’t required as @Rob0115 said. Inherited handguns don’t need to be registered and require no pistol permit. You just need to be eligible (not prohibited) to own it.

    You can go to the range with it, but just be mindful that you must comply with NJSA 2c:39-6, which basically means directly to and from the range with no deviations, cased or locked in trunk, unloaded.

    ^^^^THIS^^^^

    I was chatting with a retired LEO today.  He was under the incorrect assumption that you had to surrender your NJFPID card when moving from one Jersey town to another (because his new town CLEO's secretary told him as much).  I informed him he should of used his head & had a tragic boating accident :) .  Then his mind was really "blown" when I told him that carrying the NJFPID card on your person isn't required to transport firearms, as it was never printed in the 2C statutes.  I told him as long as he applied for it & it was granted, that he was covered by the exemptions contained therein.  His "SBI Number" is his "ticket to ride", lol!

    It's amazin' how many gun owners listen to Pink Card holders (that don't know Jack SH!T) as if they were GODS!

    True, but I will say that it is easier and typically quicker for a LEO to determine if you are indeed an FID holder if you have it with you at the time. ;) If I am not mistaken, LEOs are instructed to treat you as if you don't have an FID until it can be definitively shown that you are indeed an FID holder.
