I know what you're saying... but then again... 1) The election of Murphy is undoubtedly going to drive new users to these forums, or perhaps make them more active. We can't afford to be too paranoid... or we drive people away from these forums (or worse yet, the shooting sports) by accident. 2) And let's consider the worst... that anti-2A people are suddenly "snooping" around here... what will they really learn? They might look at the resources section which has the results of large credible crime studies (they'll see that law-abiding gun owners have been proven to be incredibly unlikely to commit crime, and that an overwhelming proportion of serious crime - including those using guns - are committed by career criminals/former felons). They'll learn that the dreaded AR-15 is RARELY used in gun crimes. Etc., etc. For me personally, looking at the results of crime studies was nothing less than eye-opening. They'll also realize that gun owners in NJ are subjected to a quagmire of laws which often make NO sense --- and yet they go out of their way to know them, and help educate newbies. Taken together - they might even start wondering (as many crime researchers themselves have done) - wow, are we putting emphasis on the wrong people? Instead of making life harder for law-abiding gun owners, should we instead focus on tougher sentencing, parole, bail programs --- and more importantly, programs that keep kids off the gangbanger/felon path in the first place? I read this site on and off for a few years before I joined --- one of the reasons I joined is because people sounded rational, well-informed, helpful, etc. - not the "gun nuts" I had been programmed by the media to expect. I'm not as worried as some of you about people snooping. If they're zealots, you won't change them anyway, but if they're even slightly rational --- they might find themselves looking at things differently.

Powder by itself is a different issue than loaded ammo. If powder at one side of the storage container gets hot enough to cook off it will set the rest of the powder in the magazine off. That will build up a lot of pressure. Loaded ammo cooking off will do so more progressively as it gets hot. When some rounds cook off they will not set off all of the ammo. No where near the pressure of a powder magazine would experience.

Welcome to the forum.

Not true. There is a case decided by the State Appellate Court, where a New Jersey resident had a New York City, carry permit. He applied for a permit to carry in New Jersey and was denied, however, the judge said it was legal for him to transport his gun to New York City, because he had a legal purpose for it at his destination.

Imagine making a movie like this today, glorifying our firepower, desire, and ability to destroy the enemy? If we, as a nation, went back to mindset like this, where this level of commitment to total victory was acceptable, the GWOT would have been over years ago.

My smallest and largest NAA mini-revolver "hogleg" .22LR with .22Mag conversion cylinder. 3" Taurus Judge .45LC / .410. I've been beat up before for owning the Judge but everyone who's ever shot it has left with a big goofy grin on their face.

I would not recommend that - if God forbid you have a fire - you just kinda made a bomb. Unless you properly vent it and or do not keep the lid locker down. As far as I recall for at leat powner storage most recommendation are wood. Ymmv

Are you planning to get them new rifles or planning to gift the ones you already have in your possession ? If new, decide if you will be purchasing at an NJ FFL or ordering online for deliver to NJ FFL. Make sure its a NJ FFL who knows the law and is comfortable with gift transfers, tell them you want to pay for the rifles. When rifles are ready to be transferred, take/have your parents to FFL. They will fill the forms and take the stuff home. If this is going to be a surprise gift, you may take transfer of rifles, bring them home and gift them per ATF 4473. I would also make sure my parents DO NOT give me any money or other stuff in exchange for or towards that firearm gift. Even if its a small, friendly, benign gesture, could get someone in trouble. To cover NJ laws, I would have them fill out the NJ COE at the time of gift at home. ------------------ ATF 4473. However, if Mr. Brown buys the firearm with his own money to give to Mr. Black as a gift (with no service or tangible thing of value provided by Mr. Black) , Mr. Brown is the actual transferee/buyer of the firearm and should answer "YES" to question 11.a. However, the transferor/seller may not transfer a firearm to any person he/she knows or has reasonable cause to believe is prohibited under 18 U.S.C. 922(g), (n) or (x).

Here's my smallest and largest wheel gun. Gotcha Ryan!

Sounds like the kids' father wanted the kids to himself, without his estranged wife in the picture. If that's the case, he's the one who should be in Rikers, not her. Fook NYC. They get NONE of my money!

It’s welsh.

took me about 9 months the first time, 8 months the second time. pisses me off. in a big way. no excuse.

It’s really hard to tell by this pic, but holy smokes, this turkey is moist, and tender!!! Not too much smoke...totally amazing! Winner winner, turkey dinner! Chalking this one up as a success. Lessons learned. Next time I’ll use butchers twine to secure the legs. The skin flap didn’t hold them to the poultry hook as well as I would have liked. I used a rub I never used before...one of the PBC brand rubs. It’s a little spicy, I’d probably use my own tried and true rub next time. Other than that, this turkey turned out delicious!! Guests will be here soon, time to get our grub on!

Gave ya the number, call it

already ordered the steel one for like $90 LOL thanks for the info.. I am pretty excited to finally get the safe organized.. and this allows for the last firearms purchase I have on my radar.. it won't be soon.. but some type of bolt gun.. = O

Supposedly my town is pretty quick, a friend that lives down the street said they are anyway, he knows the guy that does the permitting though, I may have him check into it for me if I don't hear anything.

Good luck on your 30 days! And also! Welcome to the forum! did you also put in for handgun permit (s)

there almost always is.

Why would the police search the vehicle? Why did the husband call the police after he took the kids? Did she threaten him or something? Did the police ask "do you have any weapons?". It seems like this is being sold to us as NYC overreach, which it is, but that there's something else going on.

Of course. Love divorce’s. Hate upon hate.

The narrative in the OP says her husband called police after he took the kids.

that's why i did the "<tinfoil> thing.......and they could glean things such as above........:::: Remember not matter where you went you are on your way to and back from a Range. :::::::::: then relay to pd's who then would be much more suspicious in those situations(even though no one is legitimately doing anything wrong in the first place) or of course there'll inevitably be the "well i carry XXX ammo and jersey laws be damed!" response sooner or later. yea.....i'm paranoid, and generally try to not say too much in that area.......

With the PBC you don’t so much worry about temp of the smoker. That’s one of the reasons this thing is so easy, no futzing around with the fire, dampers, or anything. Set the vent at the bottom according to your altitude, and forget it. I would estimate it’s about 225*. May break out my infrared thermometer just for kicks.

<tionfoil> another strange ammo question:?

OK, I'll share four interesting Smith & Wessons (some of these have been posted before)... First up is the one that Alec requested - and given the breadth of his competitive Smiths, I'm flattered. This is a Performance Center 627-4 chambered in .38 Super. These were made ca 2003 for the distributor Bangers. I believe that there were two production runs of 300 guns each. This is from the first run and is #214. It has a non-fluted stainless cylinder (chamfered charge-holes) in DLC black and a 5.5" barrel. It came with both a ported muzzle cap and a plain one. It has a ball detent in the yoke. I use this gun for USPSA and ICORE and as such have changed out the sights to a plain LPA rear and a Dawson FO front. It has had an action job and been converted to DAO. The grips are made by KSD. Next up is a gun that I had built in the early 70's. I was a big fan of Skeeter Skelton (a gun writer of the time) who was a big fan of the .44 Special cartridge. I badly wanted an N-frame .44 Spl. This was after Smith discontinued the Model 24 in 67 and before they reintroduced it in early/mid-80's. J&G in AZ had original 6.5" Model 24 barrels available. I bought one and then found a Model 28-2 for the foundation of the conversion. George Matthews of Downey, CA did the conversion which consisted of boring out the cylinder - including rebating the chambers and squaring the face, and installing the barrel. It had a Patridge sight on it, which I had changed to a Baughman ramp with a gold insert. My buddy and I changed the trigger to a smooth combat trigger and installed a Model 14 SAO rebound spring (this was well before the days of just buying a Wolff spring). The optic was added sometime in the 80's and is a first generation (Japan) Tasco ProPoint red dot on a B-Square mount. The grip is a custom, one-off Hogue monogrip in Micarta with brass spacer. The next two are limited run S&W L-frames. First is a Model 646, which is chambered in .40 S&W. Smith made about 400 Performance Center 646's with slab-sided barrels. Several years later they discovered left-over cylinders from that run. Smith is famous for never letting anything go to waste, so they utilized the remaining cylinders in a production run of regular production 646's with the round profile barrel with full underlug. There were appx 300 of these made. I used this for IDPA, until I retired it several years ago. It has an LPA plain rear sight and a Dawson FO front and basic action job - light stoning, Wolff springs and chamfered charge-holes. The grips are from the Smith X-frame Emergency Kit (they made an orange and a yellow one - one in .460 and the other in .500) Lastly we have what is known as a Brazil Contract Model 586-4. These are unique guns in a number of respects and it is hard to pin Smith down as to number made and how many ended up in the U.S. If you have the SCSW (Standard Catalog of Smith & Wesson) 3rd Edition and the fourth edition, you will notice there is additional info in the 4th edition - I was the source for that info. The most obvious feature is that these are chambered in .38 Special, not .357 Magnum. They have a 4.2" barrel which is the legal minimum for importation into some countries. The SCSW 3rd Ed talks about the 586-5 Brazil Contract guns which were shipped in 1993. The paradox is that the 586-4 (a chronologically older engineering change) were shipped in 1997 - four years after the 586-5's. The contract for the 586-5s was filled and the small overrun (<30) of the 4.2" guns were sold to U.S. distributors. The research that I did indicates that the second contract (the 586-4's) may have been canceled and the entire order sold to U.S. distributors, but I found nothing to corroborate this. Even if true, we are talking only several hundred guns. These 586-4's came with several features not found on regular production 586-4's. They have MIM cylinder releases (reg prod 1997) and MIM triggers (also 1997, but part of engineering change 586-6), yet retained the hammer mounted firing pin which was dropped in 1997 as part of 586-6. Suffice it to say that these are Frankenguns from the factory. This is a current IDPA gun and, again has an LPA rear sight. The front is a Dawson FO, but the original blade was integral with the ramp and base, so the blade and base were machined off and a Weigand sight base was installed that uses the interchangeable front blades. Light action job & springs and charge-hole chamfering plus the X-frame grips. Sorry if I got mired in minutiae, but that's what makes these special - besides, you asked for it. Adios, Pizza Bob

From what I gather it was pretty standard thinking in the field - add on "field applique armor" that helped defend against the better guns of the Kraut tanks. But you didn't see it often. Commanders (Gen Patton for one) hated it though. Thought it looked "shabby" and "ill disciplined". He felt that men adding extra armor demonstrated that they lost faith in the armor and equipment they were issued.

Chris - Did thevid work for you? No not Bumpfire. Franklin Arms binary trigger. Ray - I thing the mov worked for Chris.

I believe if you own ONE gun.. you need a safe.. lol I definitely don't want to suffer the loss of theft.. but equally or even more important.. I don't want MY guns to end up on the street in the hands fo a criminal.. my safe is on a live video feed whenever I am not home.. the safe just has to stop them long enough for the police to get there.. the police department is walking distance to my home.. so I think I am OK.. good info on the insurance..

If you transport the gun unloaded and stored per NJ statute and you are headed for a public range across the bridge you are good to go. You are allowed to transport hollow point ammo from your residence to a range and back. If the range you are using is in another state, so be it. You may not transport a handgun for the purpose of CCW in a free state where you are permitted to do so. Tell the cop you going to a range that is on the route you are taking. I carry my ears and range directions with me to make it more believable even though I don't have to! As to the Hornady ammo, I never got a straight answer on that one. It is obviously expanding ammo so I doubt it would pass muster here.

As far as Carry...... need to check the laws in the state in which you have your CCW with..... most allow Hollow Points as far as I know.... NJ..... Hollow Points are legal to transport to exempt locations ie: Range, Home, etc....

^^^^This is all currently correct, but likely to change sometime after January.......so, don't wait until next Christmas.

His name is Bry@n

It's not nice to talk about yourself in the third person like that.

Just to be clear the FFL is only needed when you purchase the rifles. You are the owner and what you do with them is not the business of the FFL. After you take possession of the rifles you and your parents fill out the NJ COE for each rifle and you do not file this paperwork with anyone (not the ATF, NJSP, FFL, etc). As jackandjill said make sure you are not receiving anything in exchange for the gift or your purchase of the rifles will be viewed as a straw purchase. Pistols are very different. Your parents would need to provide you with a Permit to Purchase and you would have to file that with their local PD and the State Police.

The panels screw into the back and then you mount the top part of the racks at any height you want and the butt of the gun sits in the footing. Its sturdy. Even more so if you use the bungee balls they give you but you don’t need them. You can cheat if you have carpet interior walks. Just get the hook side of velcro and attach it to the back plate. Just make sure it sticks good. I just screwed them in. Was easy. I was able to get 8 across. So just bought a 6 pack and 2 pack. Every so often they are on sale on Amazon.

LOL I am actually buying a job site box to move all my ammo to.. which will make plenty of room in the safe.. but I just want a more organized layout..

Too many

You do not send any paperwork to ATF or any other party for long guns in NJ. As far as ATF / Feds is considered, you took possession of those rifles legally (per their own instructions). Remember, Form 4473 clearly says YOU cannot gift the firearms to an otherwise prohibited person and you cannot gift in exchange for money, services etc. At the time of this surprise reveal, have your parents fill the NJ Certificate Of Eligibility (link below), two per each firearm. You keep one copy of each and your parent keeps a copy. Also remember that when you gift the long gun, you are gifting to specific parent and thats who should fill out the COE. And you are done. http://www.state.nj.us/njsp/info/pdf/firearms/sp-634.pdf IANAL. BTW, Dont let anyone tell you all of this is a loophole. Its not. Its the law and good number of firearms change hands in face to face transactions between law abiding citizens who are not prohibited from owning and possessing firearms. I strongly suggest you pick a NJ FFL who is active on these forums. Ask for recommendations if you need help finding one.

I think they're as good as mil - definitely higher quality than the ones at Academy. Made in China of course, but still - they look and feel solid and the seals are good.
