I'm having trouble understanding why when a liberal court, like the Ninth Circuit, blocks an EO by Trump, it applies everywhere, but when there is a ruling like this, it only affects the specific jurisdiction.

The judge's opinion is pretty damn incredible:

How about you go fuck yourself.

Closing remarks "This decision is a freedom calculus decided long ago by Colonists who cherished individual freedom more than the subservient security of a British ruler. The freedom they fought for was not free of cost then, and it is not free now." __________________________ HON. ROGER T. BENITEZ United States District Judge

If you are dead on a laser... TLR-2 or TLR-8. But I’ll recommend TLR-1 or TLR-7. The important part of both is the same. The first group cost more, and they put a laser on it for some odd reason. If OP is using the laser strictly for actual shooting, I’m against it. A lot was gone over already, so not going to restate the same. However, if he was going to use it for dry-fire practice... I’d be ok with it (I do confirm zero from time to time... just in case I’d ever have to use it). Hell, I pulled the laser/light module out of my P938 TLR-6 for one that was light only. Been up in Maine for the past two days, and the gun (S&W 642-1) I’ve been carrying does have a laser on it. Just took it off in the hotel room, and noticed the switch for the laser is still on. Didn’t remember turning it on since I pulled it out of the state... so likely from the last dry fire practice. If you can use the gun well, and not need to worry about the laser being on, I’d support your decision to buy one. If not, don’t buy it... as you’ll likely use it as a crutch and not train to get better. Sorry to be blunt with it, but just keeping it real... is that still cool to say?

My point was one could apply your same reasoning about a bright light to a laser. An intruder would not know if you had a laser pointer or a weapon mounted laser. Personally, I would not want to rely on anything to scare an intruder away besides muzzel flash.

I’m afraid that isn’t taught in high school anymore, either.

A laser will not help shot placement under duress. Just because your laser is on something, doesn’t mean your bullet will hit it. You realize that most POA/POI discrepancies have nothing to do with sight and sight pictures and everything to do with grip, trigger, and anticipation problems. You will have the same issues with a laser as you will with iron sights because the laser does nothing to help with the primary reasons for missing your target.. If you would have hit 3” low with irons, you will hit 3” low with your laser. The laser doesn’t clean up your trigger press, or fix your grip, or prevent anticipation. On the other hand, the light will let you identify and choose an appropriate area to target and will help with “Aim small, Miss small” conditions.

Technically for #2 I think you mean that the 9th accepts the appeal and overturns the district court decision. The plaintiff can then appeal to SCOTUS. The way you worded it made it seem like the 9th did the appealing. Either way you’re right. If the defendant (CA) decides not to appeal to the 9th then this ruling stays but only impacts CA. This would be huge for CA but laregely inconsequential everywhere else. If anything it’s a demoralizing hit to the idea that CA us the “leader” in gun control. If they appeal to the 9th and that court upholds the lower court ruling then the decision would apply to the entire circuit (CA, WA, OR, NV I think). This would be bigger in that it would also overturnsg bans in OR and stop similar efforts in WA. If the 9th overturns the district court then the plaintiff can appeal to SCOTUS. If they accept the case and overturn the 9th then mag bans country-wide are done. If they side with the 9th then we’re fscked.

This is the same type of logic as trying to scare away an intruder with the sound of racking a shotgun. You can control someone pretty damn well with a bright ass light pointed at their face, and then they also can't see you. To the OP, does this need to be holster compatible? Is there a possibility that it will need to be holster compatible in the future? Although they're becoming more popular, light bearing holsters are still hard to find in certain combinations. If the possibility exists, take that into consideration.

I just but a car...do you guys think its a good one?

You missed the point completely. The video wasn't about "giving" a portion of your GPA, he was using that as an example, as something some students work hard for and earn, while other students sit on the asses and don't work hard. The guy in the video couldn't use money that the kids had, as they are all broke, which is why they embrace Socialism, taking money other people who had worked hard for, and giving it to them, who don't want to put in the effort.

Lets keep this thread going!

I always built mine in the LR308 platform. I think we all know what ray was getting at using AR10 for large format ar15s. I wouldn’t use the Jeep to 4x4 analogy but rather xerox to photo copy. For years people would say I need to xerox this or give me a Kleenex instead of saying tissue.

No

I dunno. More and more constitutional states. More states losing court and becoming shall issue, and then this mind altering universe changer. Stay positive

From what I've read (in the past) in the CA statutes, once the 10 limit goes away THE SKY IS THE LIMIT CA never had a 15 round limit.

This can go a few ways. 1. The 9th circuit accepts the decision and California has no magazine ban. 2. The 9th circuit appeals to the Supreme Court. If #1 happens, we get fucked in Jersey. If #2 happens, then the Supreme Court will either fuck us or help us.

Well, AR10's are strictly Armalite. And BTW I have not found M1As to be reliable! They can hang in a casual range environment but seem to go off the rails when pressed in higher round count training sessions. My LMT MWS was very reliable and won the mil trials in Europe. My OBR is very reliable and has done very well in trails behind the wire and in deployment. My SR25 EMC is very reliable and has done very well in trails behind the wire and in deployment. I have not had a single malfunction in any of these rifles. I have run them in crappy conditions and they have been run excessively dirty and some have run in the environment that really tests an ar, lots of rounds in little time. No issues. But of course this is anecdotal. Samples of 1 if you will. But the reputations of these specific rifles indicate that most have the same experience.

I didn't realize this was a "summary judgment". There wasn't even a full trial. Basically the judge said to the State of CA "Are you fucking kidding with this shit?" A Bush Appointee none the less.

Nope. Not this decision. Without the decision being overturned by the 9th circus there is nothing to bring to the SCOTUS.

The Freedom crew is working (after their shifts in the Mantua shop) to clean it up and get the W Deptford location ready for an approx May 1 opening. More info here when it becomes available.

And yet another item on my growing list for when I leave NJ!

No. This was a District-court decision so it only covers that district. To impact N.J. it has to hit SCOTUS.

No, only has authority in his area. Ala California. If brought to 9th circus and overturned, then brought to SCOTUS, and Scotus takes case and overturns 9th circus, then we need to sue NJ, as they will ignore the decision, once brought to Scotus again then maybe NJ will actually follow the law.

I've never been hit in the face. Several times in arms, legs, and stomach by pieces of jacket material coming back off steel target frames. Break skin but nothing serious. This has happened as far back as the 25 yard line. Got in the leg once by an entire bullet at a pin match. I was about 35 yards away. No damage. Bullet didn't even penetrate my pants. Wear eye protection even if you're observing.

I think it's been well documented on here that you don't know what socialism is, and its many faces. The theory is sound, and you cant argue it.... which is why you cant defend your statement.... Thats another well documented fact around here. If you have something of substance to argue.... well that would be a first... but let's hear it?

Why a laser? You’d be better served with a light and buying ammo to practice with the money you would have spent on the laser. As for light - Surefire X300U is my choice.

When I first read this, I had to check the calendar to make sure it wasn't April Fools. California? Incredible! I doubt we'll see any changes in PRNJ because of this - at least not in my life time. Still a win -- anywhere -- is a win.

No No welding... internal pins. The stock is NOT permanent and the law does not require it to be. It just requires it not to Fold or Collapse. It can be reserved if you moved out of NJ. I'm sure whatever FFL you use (If they are willing to) can figure it out. Naaa.... Its stupid but does not ruin it, Sort of how a splint does not ruin the leg because you sprained an ankle (Or Cankle) in some cases. It can be reversed and in some cases without even being able to tell it was done in the first place. One of the reasons people choose to have us do the work as opposed to factory pinned is we let them choose the length factory always goes full open.

This is the “Sig” AR that has my attention. The Fire Control Unit’s X03: https://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/2019/01/30/shot-2019-fire-control-units-x03-a-p320-fcu-based-ar-15/ along with the other Fire Control offerings:

With all the droughts in Kali, I suspect that many of those horrible, horrible boating accidents took place in locations which may now be simply puddles. If it hits the supreme court and is ruled in our favor, I hope there's a drought in NJ too, for all you guys who lost your mags in similar aquatic tragedies. At least most of us who suffered through these countless boating accidents did not have to go through 7 sawzall blades trying to destroy our highly dangerous 15 round Glock mags.

EVERY post you make here is facepalm worthy. Now that's total crap, your posting history disputes that, big time. Like CNN, WaPo and MSNBC, where you can't tell their radical, Lefty, Liberal bias from their names?

Darn, now all those firearm owners who had tragic boating accidents and lost their high capacity mags, will have to go back out in that lake and dive to see if they can find their old mags.

Hell jus froze

ANJRPC already has the case open... may need to add info from this ruling

FYI: the Honorable Roger T. Benitez was born in Havana, Cuba. He understands these communists and sees right through them: "This conclusion should not be considered groundbreaking. It is simply a straightforward application of constitutional law to an experimental governmental-overreach that goes far beyond traditional boundaries of reasonable gun regulation."

Murphy and Goober, you are next!

Nothing yet. It would mean someone needs to file a mag capacity case in NJ and have it go through our court system. They would be able to use the Cali decision as case law.

More importantly, what does this mean for us?

RANGE REPORT > 1. 25 rounds Remington Express Magnum 00Buck ... flawless. 2. 20 rounds Hornady Critical Defense 00Buck ... flawless. 3. 10 rounds of Rio Reduced Recoil 00Buck ... flawless, but a bit slower. 4. 5 rounds Remington Express 4Buck ... flawless. 5. 15 rounds of Remington Managed Recoil 00Buck ... failure to extract on all. 6. 5 rounds Fiocchi Low Recoil 00Buck ... failed to extract on all. I'm taking the shoulder thingy off. I forgot how a 6" bruise feels and looks like. I'll have to stay with the heavy loads for awhile. It was easily manageable with just the pistol grip.

That is one ugly baby

Wrong Again. Have you actually watched fox news? Foxes "News" broadcasters are far from Pro Trump.. Some are outright Anti Trump... As far as there commentators "Evening lineup" thats not news that is Commentary. There is a difference.. On fox its obvious who is who... You can very easily determine who reporting the news and who is giving their opinion..... Try doing that on CNN or MSNBC... you will find there is no difference at all. Acosta is a perfect example..... He's supposed to be a reporter.. Not a commentator... In the end he's comes off as a clown.

Exactly my experience also.

I hope @MartyZ likes it.
