  1. The statutes themselves are a good source of information: http://www.legis.state.pa.us/WU01/LI/LI/CT/HTM/18/00.061.006.000..HTM 6106. Firearms not to be carried without a license. (b) Exceptions.--The provisions of subsection (a) shall not apply to: (15) Any person who possesses a valid and lawfully issued license or permit to carry a firearm which has been issued under the laws of another state, regardless of whether a reciprocity agreement exists between the Commonwealth and the state under section 6109(k), provided: ........ http://www.legis.state.pa.us/WU01/LI/LI/CT/HTM/18/00.061.009.000..HTM 6109. Licenses. (k) Reciprocity.-- (1) The Attorney General shall have the power and duty to enter into reciprocity agreements with other states providing for the mutual recognition of a license to carry a firearm issued by the Commonwealth and a license or permit to carry a firearm issued by the other state. To carry out this duty, the Attorney General is authorized to negotiate reciprocity agreements and grant recognition of a license or permit to carry a firearm issued by another state. (2) The Attorney General shall report to the General Assembly within 180 days of the effective date of this paragraph and annually thereafter concerning the agreements which have been consummated under this subsection. https://www.attorneygeneral.gov/Media_and_Resources/Firearm_Reciprocity_Agreements/ Firearm Reciprocity Agreements In 1995, the Pennsylvania General Assembly gave the Attorney General the authority to enter into reciprocity agreements with other states. The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania currently has formal written reciprocity agreements with 18 states that recognize a valid license to carry firearms issued by Pennsylvania. Conversely, Pennsylvania recognizes valid firearm carry licenses/permits from those states. In addition to the 18 formal agreements, other forms of reciprocity are applicable. Categories of Firearms Reciprocity Under Pennsylvania law, there are six categories of firearms reciprocity status. Category 1: States that have entered into written reciprocity agreements with Pennsylvania. (Title 18 Pa.C.S.A. § 6109(k)) The following states have entered into formal written reciprocity agreements with Pennsylvania under section 6109(k) of the Uniform Firearms Act. These agreements provide for reciprocal recognition of valid licenses/permits issued by both states. A list of these states and links to their firearms laws is provided below, along with the text of the agreements: New Hampshire Read the Pennsylvania Firearm Reciprocity Agreement with New Hampshire https://www.attorneygeneral.gov/uploadedFiles/MainSite/Content/Criminal/FirearmsReciprocity/Signed_NH_Agreement.pdf 1. The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania will recognize valid New Hampshire permits to carry concealed firearms by valid permit holders while said permit holders are present in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Nowhere does the agreement say that you have to be a resident of NH.
  2. Play stupid games. Win stupid prizes.
  3. No need to delete..... it was a statement. And I posted the reciprocity laws.... All is good
  4. Not bad for 10 yards.
  5. Your whole post is good Griz, but this, this is gold. I was trying to figure out the same way to say this, but it wasn't nearly as eloquent. People who have never responded to immediate violence think they have time to do all these crazy things. Your lucky if you have time to blink, let alone fight your way to better gear. For 99.9% of deadly force encounters, if it ain't on you when the balloon goes up, it may as well be at the bottom of the ocean.
  6. I always encouraged my people to take a long gun when they were going out on something that had the potential to escalate. Not only for the firepower but the good guys having long guns increased the probability there would be no need for them. More than once I had a pair of bad guys with handguns surrender with no fight to 3 agents armed with a shotgun, subgun, and M4. They said they didn't fight because they felt they couldn't win. My favorite was a guy who looked at me with an AUG, threw up his hands and said "What's that you got? An AK 92?".
  7. Maks, Im on in the neighborhood of my 5th P30 and a P2k thrown in, I haven't had that issue with any of them. What I HAVE noticed is it does take a bit for it to settle down and hit point of aim. Anywhere from 50 to 150 rounds. I would love to know how they predict where the pistol will shoot to instead of where it shoot out of the factory
  8. You are really asking the impossible IMO. If you want something great on the highway you have to give up off road capabilities and vice versa. Just look at some facets of what you're asking. Great highway tires suck off road. You want good ground clearance off road which raises your center of gravity. Not conducive to high speed handling. Suspension requirements are very differect for both applications. I could go on and on. Anytime you ask a vehicle to do more than one job with vastly different requirements it will excell at none of them. Most SUVs are designed more for the highway as that's where they spend 99% of their time. You can option up just about all of them and be far from spartan.
  9. Whoa, some of your info is wron too. Let's get this straightened out. I never said the FBI was using S&W 10mms when I first encountered them. The HRT guys I was working with carried Colt 1911 10mms. The guns the guys had were in production. I'm not imagining guns that weren't made yet. As far as the 10mm MP5 I could be mistaken. If it makes you feel better I'll take a hit for that. But it wouldn't be unusual for an agency to request some prototypes well before they went into production. Not a rare occurrence. I saw SEALS with prototype S&W 59s in Vietnam in 68-69 (I think they use Hi Power magazines). S&W also made stainless 59s for the Navy a few years before the 59 went into production. The information I have in regards to the 45 coming out #1 in FBI testing is from several reliable sources including FBI Agents assigned to the Firearms Unit at Quantico. I already told you why they didn't adopt it. You think they would get money to adopt a "new" caliber that DOD was abandoning? Yes, at one point FBI agents did carry 1911s. But this went away for the rank and file agent. HRT guys carried 1911s. Don't know if they still do. I also agree with something Ayoob said once. A 1911 might be the greatest combat handgun there is. LEOs use handguns for threat management more that combat shooting. A DA/SA, DAO, or striker fired semiautomatic is better for threat management and general issue to the troops. You do have one important fact correct. The 9mm Silvertip penetrated through Platt's arm, into his chest, taking out a chunk of his brachial artery, and stopped about an inch short of his heart (thats from the autopsy report). He was going to die from that. The 9mm Silvertip was designed to be a rapidly expanding low penetration round. It performed as it was designed. If it continued to penetrate his heart it's total speculation on whether that would have stopped the fight. I've seen people shot through the heart fight for 30-60 seconds, run 100-200 yds, and then drop dead. I know of a guy shot through the heart on 6th and 42nd in Manhattan, he ran a block over to 5th Avenue and dropped dead in front of the library. Yeah, Mireles was using a 686. Not the first time I made that error. More importantly he was using 38s. He was shooting Platt with it when Platt stopped fighting. One can argue which of the dozen or so wounds Platt succumbed to but he stopped fighting after he was hit with a 38. As for cracked frames on S&W 10mms Google "cracked 10mm frames". Your comment about using your handgun to fight your way to your rifle I always find entertaining. That sounds good from an instructor in a class you paid $1000 to attend. Having a rifle for a fight makes sense. Platt proved that. Nearly all LE and SD fights are right there, right now. You don't have time to fight your way to a rifle. The few seconds that transpire from start to finish don't allow time to "go for your rifle". When it's over there is no need to go for your rifle. You really need to get a 4" 357. Most versatile handgun made IMO.
  10. I think you have your terms mixed up. This is not an AOW. An AOW (Any Other Weapon) is a Title II (NFA) classification for a firearm with a length less than 26" and a barrel less than 18". The Shockwave is a Title I firearm because the length is over 26".
  11. This is what the forum is all about when we don't complain about crooked Democrats or discuss the situation of Pork Roll? vs Taylor Ham. =P
  12. https://www.nraila.org/articles/20170517/new-jersey-senate-bill-would-publicly-finance-gun-control-agenda As lawmakers in Trenton annually wrestle with whopping budget deficits and struggle to adequately fund roads, bridges, schools and pensions, anti-gun lawmakers have set their sights on more of your hard-earned tax dollars to finance their own political agenda. On Thursday, May 18, the Senate Higher Education Committee is scheduled to have a hearing on S.2830, sponsored by Sen. Fred Madden, at 10:00 a.m. This legislation would create a “firearms violence research center” at Rutgers to study gun violence as a “public health issue.” By misrepresenting the issue, they seem determined to ignore the drug and gang violence at the root of the problem. On one hand, this bill claims firearm deaths have remained constant over the last ten years and raises the question why a taxpayer funded research center is necessary in the first place. However, even if you accept their vague and slanted statistics, this is an incredible admission that the harsh gun control laws in New Jersey have done nothing to improve public safety. Clearly, New Jersey’s out-of-touch, anti-gun lawmakers do not understand the real issues facing the state. New Jersey has some of the highest taxes in the country and now these elected officials are calling for more tax dollars to desperately try to justify their failed gun control laws which, by their own admission, have not made a dent in gun violence.
  13. NO NO NO! The PA AG is a very busy man with his anti gun agenda.! PLEASE do not turn his attention this way! It would be very bad for us! Call Scott Bach at NJRPC, (Gun For Hire). He did a radio show on this subject. I carry in PA often with my NH non res CCW. You are fine.
  14. Purely from speculation....Sig has had a few issues in this state with guns and customer service.
  15. I can confirm they are policed by NJSP. One of my sisters lives in Asbury. That's an area that makes you forget it's Jersey. Just beautiful up there.
  16. As annoying as it is to respond without Tapatalk I will. Scroll up in first link from where OP Copied and Posted False Info. Reciprocity does exist that is an exception. Absolutely NJ Resident with NH Permit can carry concealed in PA. Unless new AG changes rules. If they do PAFOA Forum will be all over it. This is why threads like this need to go away. 2 people posting wrong info. https://www.psp.pa.gov/firearms-information/Pages/Carrying-Firearms-in-Pennsylvania.aspx https://www.attorneygeneral.gov/Media_and_Resources/Firearm_Reciprocity_Agreements/
  17. Ok my first AR. Ok I went with a Radical Firearms Upper receiver, 1 in 7, 16 inch barrel and round handguard. Spikes Tactical Muzzle brake pinned and welded. Spikes Tactical BCG and Strike Industries Red Charging handle. On my Lower I got a Spikes Tactical Billet Warthog Lower Receiver , Spikes Tactical Lower Parts Kit, CMC Trigger 3.5 Lb, and the Hera Arms CQR fixed Stock and an MDX Milspec buffer kit. Next is the Magpul Mbus back up Sights that I already have (in pictures) and I'm getting me some kind of red dot of AR scope. went with a already assembled Upper this time because I dont have all the tools needed. Next build I will build the upper and instead of the lower.might change the stock and Grip in this AR after I shoot it if I don't like the feel of it. And planning on going with a Spikes Tactical Upper too.
  18. If you want a decent looking shooter that should last the rest of your life you may want to consider a CMP Special Field Grade. I think they're about 800. New barrel, new stock, and pretty much a new looking M1. A friend bought a CMP Special and it looks as close to new as you'll get without spending many thousand dollars. If you have any issues with it CMP will fix it. Description says it will have some pitting above the wood line. CMP descriptions are usually pretty conservative to my experience. I hand picked a Field Grade a few years ago in the North Store. The only reason I can see it was a field grade is some wear on the receiver. It had all walnut wood, WW2 receiver, VAR barrel, measured a 2 at each end, and mostly Beretta parts. It's my best shooting M1.
  19. The $100 fee is proposed in A800. There are currently 183 proposed bills for "PUBLIC SAFETY - WEAPONS" currently milling about the NJ Legislature (including one reducing magazine limits to FIVE rounds), and if Phil Murphy is elected expect to see the lion's share to written into NJ law. ETA: I just realized A800 was withdrawn… I'm happy about that but I wonder why?
  20. Next week 20 yards
  21. Guilty as charged, lol! As always Nick, thanks for your support! Me thinks it's a Liga #9 kinda day
  22. Can a Mod please just delete this thread. Not sure why Firearms Owners in NJ look for reasons to have their Second Amendment Rights infringed. We don't need misinformation being spread by OP.
  23. 1563621 knows his Garands. I think he has seen a few in his time . The LMR barrels are regarded as good shooters. I do agree that the wear readings on the 1st rifle are a bit high, however if the bores are the same (no pitting, etc...) I like the first rifle better. The nicer stock, more even wear, and milled trigger guard make it a winner in my book. Even with readings of 3, there can still be plenty of serviceable life left in it. I would lower my offer for that one a bit. ~$825 The other one stays at $900-$1000 because of how nice those readings are. You could also sell that IHC trigger group and uncut operating rod and get SA replacements cheaper. I just can't get over the weak heal markings, kind of a deal breaker for me unless I really wanted a shooter.
  24. Barrel gauges a little high, Lead heel, Nice looking, Should run about 1K. With CMP papers? LMR barrel is a plus, Looks like a HRA stock.
  25. Here is Florida and Utah... https://www.attorneygeneral.gov/uploadedFiles/MainSite/Content/Criminal/FirearmsReciprocity/Utah_reciprocity_agreement.pdf https://www.attorneygeneral.gov/uploadedFiles/MainSite/Content/Criminal/FirearmsReciprocity/firearms_agreement_florida_pa.pdf As you can see..... both of those have the resident requirement in them..... Where the NH one does not....
  26. I believe 75 a-maxes need to be loaded long . For mag length load a 69 or 77 smk or nosler. I've used Varget for both, 24.5 for 69 and 23.8 for 77 .
  27. And better bullet technology for the 9mm
  28. That's why I got the crosstrek. 25mpg around town with AWD, still great on the highway, and it manages to have great ground clearance. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  29. definitely! There was a pretty large group last time. I don't think we've had as many confirm this time.
  30. Howard, you said "full militarization of police". Having a long relationship with LE and the military the "full militarization of police" is way far from reality.
  31. The reason for the fall of .40, the end of the stigma of 9mm.
  32. You are definitely not reading too much into it, as the others have pointed out, don't lose control of yourself to the point that you made stupid choices and do stupid things. Was this a tragedy, absolutely. But, being wasted and banging on doors then breaking in to a locked apartment is just plain asking for trouble. This is what happens when you combine drugs, alcohol and a feeling of entitlement that comes from being an elite athlete and having things given to you your entire life. I am not an expert in any way shape or form, but from what the experts I know have told me a millisecond of second guessing is more than enough time to get yourself killed. Look at this from the teacher's perspective, a loud, large, incoherent person has already broken down a locked and bolted main door and is now trying to break down your bedroom door. How would anyone expect a rational human being to behave. Yes, hindsight shows that he thought it was his girlfriend's apartment, but all the teacher know was that a big man was breaking into his apartment. Journalists need to sell stories and or support an agenda that sells stories, they no longer worry about factual, unbiased reporting.
  33. Personally, I don't think you're reading too much into it at all! This meshes with the tendency to "bury" defensive gun use stories entirely. They rarely make it to major newspapers or networks. And in a case like this, where it's someone "famous" and the story simply can't be buried, so-called "journalists" do the next best thing - cast shade on the person who defended themselves (from the safety of their keyboard when they can't possibly even imagine the duress the person was under)..

  35. Pump the brakes there for a second Howard. Your second paragraph is complete BS on many levels. "Militirization" comment aside, there is a lot of either supposition due to inexperience or deliberate misinformation there. I have shot in to, and out from, a lot of cars in training - through windows and door panels with a lot of different ammo. All things being equal, .40 pierced auto glass and doors no better, and no worse, than 9mm. There is no advantage there. ARs suck as well. Especially with the soft point rounds most agencies issue to help reduce penetration in typical CONUS construction materials. Additionally, full auto capability has jack and squat to do with penetration abilities either. If you want to skin a car, you grab the 12 gauge. The same gun Cops have being carrying in their cars for ages. Hell, the potential to be in a gun fight around cars is the only reason I still put one in my patrol car every night. Cops are moving to 9mm because bullet technology has made the terminal effects of 9mm and .40 almost indistinguishable. While the 9mm gives a higher capacity and has less felt recoil (yes it's a subjective measurement, but it is almost universally accepted) in a similar sized pistol. There is just a very slight advantage on the terminal effect end with modern .45. Some argue that slight ballistic advantage isn't worth the disadvantages of the lower capacity and the increase in felt recoil (again subjective but almost universally accepted) all in a larger gun. If I told you I could give you a gun that is easier to shoot/train with, easier to teach new shooters on, that holds more rounds, has less recoil, and will give your faster split times all in a gun the same size as the one you are holding and still guarantee that the terminal ballistics would not decrease, would you say no thanks? Neither are the cops.
  36. I'm not necessarily "Pro .40" but I'm issued .40 and ergo almost all of my pistols are .40 I don't have any problem with it. It's reliable out of a series of guns that fit my hand and I shoot it well. I don't think it does anything better than 9mm or .45, but it's not terrible. If we switched over to 9mm tomorrow I would have no issue. I'd just buy a bunch of 9mm conversion barrels and mags and drive on. I have shot the full power 10mm Norma loads and the current commercial stuff. I could not replicate the speed and accuracy I achieved with .40 or 9mm with the 10mm. I was significantly slower and my group was significantly larger with both the full power 10mm and the neutered 10mm compared to my .40 Personally, when comparing what I see as acceptable self defense rounds (defined for my use as one that has adequate energy and penetration to be commonly accepted as able to incapacitate a human) I'd take a smaller and faster bullet that allows me to get more hits closer together in less time than a bigger slower bullet with longer split times and a larger grouping. To me 6 rounds in 4 seconds in a 4" circle at 10 yards from a holster is better than 6 rounds in 8 seconds in an 8" circle at ten yards.

    In case you couldn't tell, I think this is a positive thing and Station is a great example of how a healthy marriage works. The individual Stations are capable and intelligent but need to have an eye kept on them. On their own they are important contributing members of their little group that support each other. But when the 2 become one - Big Station is stronger, smarter, more confident, and gets shit done way better and more efficiently than they did apart.

    It's nice that you have defined identities.....I've been married 20 years....I'm not sure I even exist.
  41. Anyone who walks out of their house in NJ and forgets they have a firearm on their person should probably not own a firearm in the first place.
  42. It's highly personal, do you currently have anything that will work? I started running what I had, which was a 14.5" middy build with an aimpoint. I shot matches up to 300 yards with it and didn't feel held back by it much at all. After a year was under my belt, I knew what I wanted and built something that suited my desires. I would just shoot what you have an keep your eyes and ears open at matches and then you can really feel what you want. Also what division do you want to shoot?
