Trying to figure out if I can buy 9mm ammo online and ship it to my house or work, or if I need to ship it to a FFL. If I need to ship to FFL, do they charge a fee like they do if you have a firearm transferred there? Sorry, most of the stuff I find online is from years ago.

Yes, legal to buy online and ship to your home/work.  Be aware that if your work isn't "firearm friendly" that some shippers just slap an adhesive label on a case of ammunition and ship it, so it's very obvious that it's ammunition when it arrives.

There is a law in NJ that it's illegal for you as a buyer to received "handgun" ammunition without having a valid FID, but there's no law requiring an out-of-state retailer to check for your FID before shipping.  Many will ask for your FID anyway.

All of the online sources that I have dealt with have asked for a copy of my FID and DL before they will ship to NJ.  They ask that these be updated once a year.

If you think about it, it's in their best interest to follow the laws of the states where they ship.  If, for example, they shipped handgun ammo to just any NJ resident, NJ is MORE likely to simply ban the shipping of ammo to residents.  More states follow suit for the same reason and the online dealers are out of business.

      Radios...?

      By Buck Russell · Posted

      If you’re going to VA, buy 2 radios.  Program one for here and one for there.  If you guys are buying Baofeng radios do yourself a favor and get a tactical antenna for it,it’ll extend your reach.

      Non-Hollowpoint? (Long)

      Both our memories are a bit lacking. 3 bystanders were hit by NYPD bullets and 6 were hit by fragments at the Empire State Building shooting. The bullets later were determined to have passed through the bad guy as I said. He was not a big guy. The police fired 16 rds and 7 hit the bad guy.  Spray and pray?  I think not.  These officers fired until the threat was stopped and everyone is moving. Have you ever tried to hit a moving target whilst you're moving.  If you watch the video from where the police encounter him, the BG draws his gun from his bag, NYPD guys shoot, and the BG hit the ground is about 2 or 3 seconds.  The closest officer is maybe 12 feet or less.  The closest cover are those concrete flower pots.  If the officers chose to take cover before drawing the BG would have had a chance to shoot at least one officer. Know your target and beyond?  Agree 100%.  However, this by the Empire State Building at 9 am during the week.  There are bystanders and traffic in every direction.  The officers had a choice of doing what they did or letting the BG shoot them with his 1911 and shoot someone else. I think they made the right choice and the same one I would have made.  The officers exercised the best option in protecting themselves and the public. The first video is the police shooting.  The second is more detailed and gives you a lot of background information on the shooter. One thing this shows is if NYPD had to use fmj undoubtedly more bystanders would have been wounded perhaps killed.  NJ's hollowpoint law. only creates more danger to the public.
