Tune it tonight on Fox News 8pm EST. Watters World. We dispel the myth of the AR15.

I will be there!

I do not feel it’s appropriate you can die for our country, and not have a beer, or a smoke. And if you can’t make adult choices on smoking and drinking, you cannot make adult choices on voting or marriage. Pick an age, and deal with it across the board.

Voting at 21? Might be a fair trade.

Never heard of this. Statute specifies that it be done every time and there have been no changes. Suspect your local PD was playing fast and loose with the process, possibly due to manpower resources and may have been caught. Adios, Pizza Bob

According to the NICs unit - they were closed on Wed for the State of Emergency and upon their return on Thursday, they had no power! Now, I'm in the business, and I hear a lot of excuses, but telling dealer they had no power when they are located in the NJSP headquarters is a bit of a streach - no?

It goes to the definition of “ people “ if individuals become “ the people “ at 21 then it needs to be across the board. Driving, drinking, draft, smoking, voting etc..

My $0.02 if someone called with this quesiton, I'd simply ask them under what statute they are conducting this investigation and requiring my answer, and if I can have their contact information once I run it past my lawyer. It's either a legitimate quesiton (we know it isn't), or it is harassment, in which case you want their identifying information.

I've been called several times by police mostly for references on someone. I use a trick a cop taught me that they even use on each other. Get his name and extension number and tell him you're going to call him back momentarily in order to verify. You then call back the department he claims to be from and ask for him. If he is real they will connect you. If he's not they'll tell you. I never had a problem at all doing this. And not one ever argued or complained. This way you know the call is from a police officer and not some other type of nut. If this indeed did happen, this would have been the most logical first step. If you have his name it isn't too late to call and find out if he was from that PD at all.

So, whats the deal with that? I Keep seeing jokes cracked about it since i joined up, and it's been over two years... Why has nobody actually had shirts made? Is there actual demand for them? If so, i wouldn't mind having them made and shipping them out to members on here, if someone could design something that everyone could agree on. I already deal with online sales so i could perhaps put them up on one of my eBay stores or just use one of my PayPal accounts to run it. The cost to package and ship it to everyones door should be around 5$, assuming the t-shirt with the envelope weighs in at/under 16oz/1lb. If someone here is good with design i could look into having them made. Don't mind fronting the cash as long as people are serious about purchasing them and i don't get stuck with 100 T-Shirts i paid a ton of money for.

Why not buy a new barrel for the 1301? Seems you are looking to "fix" a shotgun that doesn't need to be "fixed".

Choke depends on many things, but shot size and distance to target are the two main things. For this, you will have to do some research as it pertains to your application. A good choke tube will help with patterning, meaning not only how much the shot spreads at a given distance, but how evenly too. Patterns can also be improved with shells like Federal Flight Control that uses a wad cup designed specifically for buck shot. Flight Control will hold the pattern tighter by holding the shot in the shot cup longer. This may or may not be useful in 3 Gun. Generally speaking, IC is the best choke for slugs. If you are not using a rifled barrel, you will want to use rifled slugs. You can also get an extended choke tube with rifling for non-rifled slugs. You can shoot slugs or buckshot out of any choke, it will compress as it passes through the choke. However, mashing 00 buck in a full choke is not advisable because the shot will peen itself as it passes through the choke and become deformed. It will not pattern reliably because the shot will become out of round. Lastly, there are also extended choke tubes. This type generally patterns better than a flush tube. It's what all the cool kids (and trophy winners) are using these days.

Take the parkway to exit 138 (Kenilworth), head west on the Boulevard and make a right onto 14th street to avoid 22. It'll drop you right next to it. Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk

Again, that's why i stopped here..there seems to be no definitive answer other than the way its written...no mention of 'locked' mag, 'Bullet Button'..however, I DO interpret 'ability to accept' as just that, and they would be more than happy to arrest / confiscate first. And I don't have the $$ to go to court. And I can see some overzealous lawyer in court dropping that mag with a BB, and that's, well..detached, yes? I was hoping to get a definitive answer on just keeping the BB, but I guess without precedent, finding a firearms lawyer, or some other legal guarantee, it's not worth the chance. Lock stock, and pin a comp...at least that IS legal, for now. I just ordered Strike Industries stock lock, and I'm going to Dynacomp the muzzle. At least that leaves no room for interpretation or legal hassles. Then I can replace the BB if I want, or keep it. We're already 10 rds mag here so.. So how to residents 'fix' their magazines in NJ? Or just lock/pin and detachable magazine is legal, correct? By the way..the BB is now ILLEGAL in Ca...thanks to Newsom and Harris, the wannabe saviours of the free state. If Newsom gets elected Gov, their will be no 2A rights in this state at all..because that's what will get him elected. Guaranteed...he tried to do a complete handgun ban a few years ago in SF when he was mayor ( left half term of course to suit his political aspirations as Gov...), but it was overturned thanks to lawsuits. Thanks for the replies...appreciate it. I'll keep checking in ..

absoutley still applies

My only issue is Route 22 sucks. It is a dangerous road with lots of accidents and traffic.

Hell, I’ll bbq for group shoots there!!!

that is not how the law is worded in NJ and this is why bullet button is a no go.. the way the law is worded is "ability to accept a detachable magazine"... if the gun can still accept a detachable mag.. which it can with a bullet button.. then the bullet button does NOTHING in regards to compliance.. and any FFL stating otherwise is simply wrong... the ONLY way around this is to somehow make the magazine a permanent part of the lower.. and a bullet button does not accomplish this.. this is the reason you do not hear about BB in reference to NJ.. because its not relevant in NJ.. because the lower can still accept a detachable magazine..

I picked up a couple of boxes, I also picked up a OPSol mini clip adapter. jic

We could shoot in there now, nobody would know.

Perfect I'll get the particulars. Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk

Sorry. Here on Guam Starbucks is $10, BR is $18. That being said, I wasn't trying to talk bad about BR. I'd buy BR at almost twice the price any day of the week. Company stance aside, BR is better coffee.

virtually every drug has some kind of side effect. usually they're not good. we as a society are so dam over-medicated that it is absolutely frightening.

BRCC averages $12.00/Lb, $2.00 less per pound compared to Starbucks. Also, BRCC's philanthropy supports war vets, not tree frogs.

Yes - the 1100 magnum is designed to reliably cycle with strong 3" hunting loads. It will fire - but not reliably cycle - light 2 3/4" target loads. To do this, the 3" magnum barrels have 1 gas port; the 2 3/4 barrels have 2. The magnum bolts are also a little heavier than the 'regular' 1100 bolts. I've got one - a lefty 1100 magnum - and I've also got my eye out for a 2 3/4 barrel to shoot trap and 5-stand. 1100 barrels show-up pretty regularly on ebay and gunbroker. EDIT - I see scorpio already answered this....also, ebay currently has several listed: https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_odkw=remington+1100+barrel&_osacat=0&_from=R40&_trksid=p2045573.m570.l1313.TR11.TRC1.A0.H0.TRS0&_nkw=remington+1100+barrel&_sacat=0

For the last couple of years, I've had to fill out an online form for the criminal background check and then provide the confirmation number on my application to NJSP. I think the check cost $20 paid by CC. They've never required that I be finger printed again. They have an SBI # for me, they have my drivers license and social security card - guess that's adequate to establish my identity since my fingerprints are already enshrined in some folder somewhere. The mental health check is done by the trooper. This is done every time. Prior to the online form, both background checks were done by the trooper - every time.

So, it seems the 1100 really does require two different barrels to work with both 2 3/4" and 3". The 2 3/4 bbl has two gas ports. That's pretty interesting. Never heard of that before. Anyway.... Call CMO. They have a decent stock of barrels. Their price may not be fantastic though.

she'd have been luckier had the tree totaled it. owdie........ i love my ariens. i've got a troybuilt 24" at the shop......kept clogging the chute, and bogging. the ariens is a 28". no bogging, launching that crap clear across the street.

even better would be to stop prescribing those fucking things.

I've tried their coffee. It's pretty good, if you're okay with spending $18 a bag.

My ariens professional 28" was throwing 2' of that wet snow 15-20'. Worth every damn penny.

So you can enlist in the military and sent to die but can’t vote in the election for those that sent you there? Doesn’t seem fair.

I have mine... and can bring an extra. I may wear my CNJFO shirt however. I requested that day off - should be g2g

Underground lines in our neighborhood. Only time we lose power is if the lines outside of the neighborhood, which are above ground, go down. Fortunately, that didn't happen.

2 black and 2 orange size large please.......

My mantra during the election was SCOTUS. Once we got Gorsuch I admittedly got greedy and bought into Trump and what he would do for Second Amendment Rights. I have now lowered my expectations to avoid further disappointment. However I do believe we will get another Justice next year when Kennedy retires. I think because of how the Dems handled Gorsuch the next one will be more Conservative than Thomas. If it happens it will be a bonus. If we can get a third Justice that replaces Ginsburg I will be overjoyed. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Great advice as most Preserves limit you to #6 shot. The reason is multiple hunting parties hunting simultaneously, which is how Preserves make money. Nobody wants to take a shower of #4's in an adjacent field CNJFO's Hunt at Giberson's is just 8 days from now (I can't wait!)!

I've never flown with a firearm. NJ doesn't care about the bullet button or normal mag release. NJ says it can only have a 15 round mag (10 round coming soon) and you can have one "evil feature" from the list below: pistol grip adjustable stock bayonet mount flash hider grenade launcher (not kidding) So, you keep the pistol grip - that's your evil feature You drill a hole through the stock and put a roll pin in the hole so it can't move any more you grind off the lugs on the bayonet mount under the gas block You have a muzzle brake permanently installed (welded or pinned and welded - if you own a flash suppressor and it could be installed because the muzzle brake isn't welded, that's also a crime) you don't buy a grenade launcher. The rules can be found here: http:///themaintenanceguy.com/gfimages/definition-nj-assault-weapons.pdf

I like this one.

We can all wear our NJGF T shirts!

If your Steve Sweeney, you get a permit in this state. otherwise...fuggedaboutit As of the end of 2013, there were 1,212 active Handgun Carry Permits in New Jersey, out of a population of nearly 9 million residents.[24] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gun_laws_in_New_Jersey Let that sink in for a minute...there are almost 9 MILLION NJ residents......and 1212 carry permits. That is 0.0135 % of the population. I think the odds of being struck by lightning are better. New York has over 88,000 concealed carry permits issued; Pennsylvania has about 1.3 Million .... Even Freaking Massachusetts - no friend to gun owners - has issued over 400,000. Just how often do you hear about any problem with concealed carriers from these states? It just doesn't happen. People here in NJ are dying because of this.....its a documented fact! On top of this, New Jersey wants to lock up people who run afoul of thes laws thru minor technical mistakes or mis-steps. Single mothers from PA who unknowingly cross the border and run afoul of our goofy, contradictatory gun laws....yet the SAME PROSECUTOR was happy to let an NFL wife-beater --they had him ON CAMERA-- and let him off and walk scott-free! Think I'm kidding? Its real, its documented. New Jersey IS the problem.

Ms. Park, Based on your statement, I doubt you intend to buy a gun anytime soon. Nor should you if that is just not your thing! The reason so many in this thread want you to try to buy one is so you would see with your own eyes, the scrutiny NJ puts every legal gun buyer through! In a nutshell, you have to go to your hometown PD and request a packet of forms. You must fill out all of the forms and supply two people as character references and they WILL be contacted. You must do an online mental health check which you pay for and you sign a release for the state to look for ANY mental health issues you have EVER had. You must make an appointment to be fingerprinted at your expense and fill out whatever other forms your town requires. Once the forms are completed and turned in to the PD, they will conduct an EXTENSIVE criminal and mental background check on you that could take time. The Chief of police may call you in to interview you if he wishes. The chief may, at his discretion, approve or disapprove your application. In about a month or for most towns many months you get a permit to buy a rifle or shotgun called the NJ firearms ID card. You must go through the entire above process EVERY time you apply for a permit to buy a handgun! Even then, they expire in 90 days, can be extended to 120 day with the chiefs approval. Each handgun permit is only good for ONE handgun and you are limited to only ONE handgun purchase in any 30 day period. Oh, and when you purchase any gun, you also have to fill out forms for each gun AND pay for a NICS check, yet another criminal background check, which must be approved by the State Police before you can take your new gun home! Our new Governor wants to make it even harder for the legal gun owners in NJ! All the new restrictions and laws never have an effect on crime since only the law abiding gun owners will follow them and they are NOT the one's committing the crimes! The laws and restrictions were there in Florida but the government on many levels did not enforce them. THEY are just as responsible for those children's deaths as the shooter himself. So the answer that the left NEVER wants to hear is, It's NOT ABOUT THE GUN! It's not about new feel good laws that will do NOTHING to prevent these shootings in the future! It's about actively enforcing the laws already on the books and punishing the criminals for once and leave the honest, law abiding gun owners alone!

I wish the focus would be more about the systemic failure of law enforcement in FL at every level- federal, county & local- which directly led to this shooting. They knew about this guy and did nothing to ensure he’d show up on a NICS as prohibited. It blows my mind that people are demanding more laws, when the current ones on the books, which would have prevented this tragedy, were simply not enforced.

Katie: I really applaud that you're trying to gather a full story with multiple viewpoints... that's not something we always see today! Increasingly, it's echo chambers. So kudos to you! You're looking for a subject within a very narrow window though --- a person that's just come into the shooting sports, but doesn't even have a firearm yet, AND is preferably in those counties. Yikes! I'm sure the folks on here will try to find you someone who meets your exacting criteria, but if they don't, I do think it's very important that one or more perspectives from gun owners is included in your article. There's simply too much "vilifying" of gun owners that's taking place right now. I consider myself to be a relatively new shooter - about 2 years in (and initially I only went once a month, so yeah, still very much a beginner). I bought my first gun AFTER Sandy Hook... and believe me, I did a "deep dive" into crime research, research into the causes of violence, and studied both sides of the issue both from the gun rights and gun control perspectives... suffice it to say, I felt wholly comfortable once I finally made a purchase. Sometimes I do chuckle about my own preconceived notions - my NRA firearms instructor was a retired teacher AND an ordained minister. Two years in, and the "gun nuts" I had been promised have not materialized quite yet! LOL. I would ask that you please make sure you get the perspective from women gun owners - they're one of the fastest growing demographics of gun owners - and I think self-defense is definitely a reason for that. I personally view it as a very natural outgrowth of more women being single today than ever before, single women being more likely to be homeowners than single men, and women also being more likely to get child custody... for all of these reasons, women find themselves increasingly likely to be in the role of "protector" than in the past. Women's fast-growing rates of gun ownership is a natural extension of demographic changes. Do reach out to those other organizations listed above by other posters. I'd like to see you get the exact "subject" that you are looking for... particularly one in the geography of your readership. But if you come up short and simply can't find someone that fits your initial criteria, PM me. I might be willing to be your "backup plan". Best of luck! Update: my thread was apparently crossing with Rosey's. My comment is: excellent, you're in good hands, he'll hook you up! Have fun at the range!

I liked them at their old location. At least u could get a pretzel before you got blown off by the counter guy.
