    Now I have to wade into the fray...because I love a good Hawaiian special pizza!   A cold slice leftover from the night before is also one of my favorite breakfasts.

    I mention this mostly because I recently came back from an anniversary trip to Hawaii (I've now visited all 50 states!), and we saw a pizza place that advertised their ham and pineapple pie as a 'Mainland special'.    So maybe it's the pizza equivalent of the 'Texas wieners' that are ubiquitous in NJ, but unknown in Texas.

    IIRC Hawaiian Pizza was invented in NY State for a pizza contest (and won).

    Also +1 for pineapple on pizza

    Pineapple on meat loaf....tofu.....

    Is this the coming out thread 'cause this ain't no food.

    Obesity, diabetes, heart disease, etc....no fun.

    If we're concerned with the unlikely event of an untimely death via home invasion, seems only logical to also be quite concerned with the much more common and likely threats to our well being as well.

    I used to ridicule people the same way years ago. But remember, many people have health concerns and good for them for taking care.

    And if you're just kidding, sorry for taking you seriously. I mean no offense.

    After all, if we say a single word, the boogieman will be knocking on our door.

    I wonder who the real paranoid ones are here?

     

    I'm not scared of the Boogeyman. Im talking about the idiots on here who blow their FID application by putting down that they got prescribed something a decade ago, or the ones freaking out about the magazine limits when it's pretty obvious what everyone should do.

    If I still lived in Hell Hole NJ, I would keep my 15s and SHUT UP ABOUT IT.  Gawdamighty some of you are complete dumbfucks when it comes to broadcasting stuff you should SHUT THE HELL UP ABOUT.

    Yeah I don't mean to offend anyone but often I see the type of things people ask on here and wonder if they are legitimately stupid or what. Take five seconds and THINK. You KNOW the answer, and should know when to shut your mouth.

    I believe that the issue is that people already possess the 15 round magazines. Why should they go out and spend more money on higher capacity magazines that they can't use? Or throw away magazines that they already own? Hence, "storing" the 15 round magazines makes sense. Because, maybe they will finally be forced to leave the state of nj and be able to use them again.

    I get what you're saying, but at this point in time I see deals on AR/AK/Glock and several other common mfg. mags in the $8-12 range regularly on various websites. Considering the fact that most of the users here are enthusiasts and seem to have no issues spending plenty of money on all sorts of stuff (good for them), it would still seem wisest to just purchase the regular magazines. 

    Look at it from a collector's point of view, if anything the regular magazines could spike back to $30+ a piece in a bad political climate, or become "pre-ban" themselves again one day. Hopefully not, of course. But they have the advantage of being overall better, and more desirable, in all circumstances compared to neutered jersey junk.

    I always wonder why individual civilians with 10 or 15) round magazines compare their rifles to fully automatic versions with double and triple the capacity being used by an entire squad of shooters.

    If I've got 1/3 the shots, only 1 rifle in use, and no fun switch, the scales clearly and easily begin to tip towards 7.62x39/51/54

    Bhunted you did nothing wrong, and sold those rifles for precisely what they're worth.

    You don't have to justify why you sold something for market value. The people who think they will get $1400 for the Lastname Tactical SOPMOD edition are the ones that should have to justify.

    I'm not trying to call out anyone in particular but there is a particular hilariously expensive (non AR) listing that's been getting bumped for ages now and the buyer just doesn't get the hint.

    Just cause you dumped $1200, $1400, $1800 into it doesn't mean it's worth that much

    You can buy an AR rifle kit in pretty much any caliber and config, for as low as $299 right now. $400 complete rifles are common.

    I see what some people are asking for theirs in the marketplace and laugh. 

    No offense but just because you blew $2k on some Lastname Tactical and Adjective Defense crap they sold you on at some rip off newbies "build an AR-15" class back in 2010 doesn't mean I'm going to waste my money it when I can literally get 3 of the same rifle brand new at the price you want for your old, used rifle with some comic book character sticker on it. 

    The only reason anyone is even entertaining your offers is because you're on an NJ gun board. Go on a national forum and try selling at these prices you would be laughed off the boards. 

    People can get mad all they want...less than 60 days left to do private sales. Time to swallow your pride, admit the real price, and sell for actual value.

    I’ve thought of this actually. There’s a nice looking AR listed for 400 in the WTS section right now. I just don’t know what I’m looking at to know if it’s worth it or even safe for that matter. I did find out that Stag Arms is having a big sale right now. 

    I think you should jump on it, of course it's safe. There really isn't anything to it, most parts from most mfg all conform to the same specs and tolerances. Some guys just pay 3x more for the name etched into the side. 

    The AR-15 came down in price because pretty much anyone with the right kind of FFL and a CNC setup can make receivers and sell at a profit for less than $50 each.

    Like I said, a lot of the attitudes around the AR-15 are outdated. Yes they used to be overpriced, delicate jam-o-matics but those days are over, people all over are plinking with $400 AR's every weekend.

    The AR-15 has changed a lot in price and reliability over the last ten years.

    Considering you can easily find deals on a complete AR-15 in the ~$400 range, even with the greediest FFL fees you're still looking at my maybe $500-550 out the door, tops. Multiple members are even selling theirs in that price range. 

    If I was getting into the AR game I would ask myself if the fancy names are really worth tripling the price.

    Is that considered concealed carry or open carry?

    I think you could make the argument either way.

    No because people in NJ aren't morons and don't over think this stuff because they aren't trying to catch you on a technicality and screw you. 

    Concealed generally means some form of "I can't readily and easily tell that you're carrying a gun" 

    Also in most states things like improper transport or not properly concealing are generally just a fine, not a felony like in NJ so if you do have to learn a lesson it's to the tune of only a couple hundred bucks.

    If the cop even gives a crap

    We are in it for the love of sport. We respect our guns. If the door opens as wide as it may they’ll be people in for different reasons with different attitudes toward it. It’ll be interesting to say the least. 

    You do.  And we will. But there’ll be others that could change the face of things. I still want it though. 

    Just to point out to everyone, BobA has a good point.

    In NJ you think you know "gun owners" but you don't. You just know a small group of enthusiasts, because that's pretty much the only people you'll encounter at a gun range here, even double so at a private club.

    In other places, anyone can own a gun pretty much, except the usual prohibitions. So you get "all sorts".

    Still, doesn't mean we shouldn't hope for it to be like that here. I'd rather have "all sorts" than only the chosen few as it is now.

    ......ummm retention holsters......yes the police have them

    I'm well aware of what a retention holster is. I've carried with one plenty of times, in NJ too, when I used to have a carry permit here. 

    If could carry today in an ideal world, it would probably be a mix of open and concealed, mostly dependent on what I'm wearing that day. 

    That said, I stand by my comments that open carry is most certainly not for everyone to do. However, it is up to the individual to come to that conclusion, not the nanny state.

    I don't mean to hijack the thread, but I've never really understand the inherent advantage of "open carry" anyway. Why on earth would you want everyone around you to know that you're armed? Don't you make yourself one of the "first targets" if some bad guy wants to hold up the bank or store (where you have the bad luck of being at the same time)?  Isn't an element of surprise (concealed carry) infinitely better? I dunno, does the fact that I'm a woman perhaps impact my opinion?... I feel I could be surprised and swiftly overpowered by someone... and now THEY have MY gun. Ugh. So, I really can't see advertising that you're carrying, and that's what "open carry" does IMO. Anyway, I don't pretend to know a lot about this topic... just giving my gut reaction!

    You're not wrong. From a practical standpoint, open carry is useless unless you are both physically capable of resisting a hand-to-hand struggle for your gun, and aware of your surroundings at all times. Think of the type of training police officers have. If you are not capable of these things then open carry is not for you and probably going to have a higher chance of getting you killed than saving your life. 

    I suppose in a very rural setting or some such, it does become a lot more useful as you can just carry a normal size firearm in a comfortable way. 

    That said, open carry is generally done "because I can" and the fact of the matter is, the second amendment does not state why, it just states that you can. So if someone wants to open carry, there is no (constitutional) reason they cannot.
