You're VERY entertaining Peel! You've led a sheltered life (coming from a Democrat family used to buying selected cuts on Styrofoam platters) of "neatly shrink-wrapped meat", but I still LOVE your writing style. I'll try to answer you as "dead serious" as I can, and w/o mocking or making fun of your self-admitted lack of knowledge in this area. BTW, I just told my Amazon Echo to play "Born Free" by the Chairman of the Board (Frank Sinatra) as I type this I had the movie on VHS! Yes it's normal for harvested animals to quiver. The old expression, "Runnin'-around like a chicken with its' head cut-off" is based in REALITY! Chickens can run headless until they bleed-out. Hogs can shake like this OR NOT and deer can run like hell for 50 yards OR NOT (a lucky spine shot), dead on their feet from a well-placed shot into their "Boiler Room" (heart/lungs area), and not pile-up (fall-down) until the loss of blood translates into loss of oxygen to the brain. Pheasants sometimes need their necks broke after being downed by a scattergun blast. My Hog Hunters all wear sidearms for dispatch shots to the brain, should the need arise. We frown on dinky 9mm rounds and ask them to bring .357 mag OR BIGGER to dispatch an animal as quickly as possible, the humane way, as a true Sportsmen would. On this hunt one Gent brought his Ruger .454 Casull & used it for a dispatch. There's excitement & congratulations from fellow hunters and the professional guides, but no "Blood Dancing". I've had hunters say a prayer to themselves before posing with their harvests. It's not that uncommon. Hell, I've done it after a long day tracking. The 2nd hog harvested in the above video was taken with a single .308 soft point in a quartering-away presentation that resulted in a one shot harvest. These two women are friends of mine & fellow NRA instructors that realize that some folks will not like the video. That being said, they still gave me permission to share it so other women would become empowered, and not let themselves be refused the opportunity simply because of having different sex organs. Lorraine is a deer hunter, and this was her first hog. The pair field dressed Jackie's hog under expert supervision from our guides. There's a You Tube video of it here, so don't click if yer squeamish: I fully realize that some folks, who've been sheltered from what goes into harvesting animals, will find hunting "gross". Hunters, since prior to the Revolutionary War, have been teaching marksmanship to Patriots that have defended this great experiment of a Representative Republic. Having 2A people go hunting is more natural than most 2A people think. In Pennsy they close the schools for the start of deer season and 10 year olds go with Moms & Dads to learn the ways of the field. May you be blessed with many enjoyable experiences in whatever form of harvesting suits you. I too enjoy finding steaks & burgers ON SALE in the meat case WRAPPED IN SHRINK WRAP at my local Shop Rite. Friday they had ground beef for a $1.99 pound Respect, ALL WAYS & ALWAYS! Rosey

Thank you. Yes. They are fully funding our Rogers case that will hopefully get granted very by the supremes in the next week or so and they are funding our mag ban case as well. All we have left in NJ is the federal courts. Ant.

Sorry NYC - you had 6 years to change the law. Sux that you held out until the SC swung to conservative majority. Now get ready for a decision that’s going to pave the way to overturn lots of infringing, anti-2A laws. I hope Bloomberg strokes out.

You're quite welcome and feel free to express your opinion on anything I post here. I always listen to folks that haven't seen what I've seen, as I learn from it. We're all firearms enthusiasts, and we all need to understand and wrap our heads around the multiple uses of these tools that "take the measure" and protect a free society. I personally started hunting very late in my "shooting career". I grew-up the son of a WW2 Vet in General Mark Clark's 5th Army that killed many Krauts (after landing at Anzio--a real blood bath if there ever was one!) with a Browning Automatic Rifle (BAR) and Ma-Deuce .50 cal Heavy machine Gun in the Po Valley Campaign in Italy. He wasn't a Hunter of 4-legged creatures, and I was never taught the ways of the field until much later in life after he'd passed. My hunting mentor is 80 years old. We just shared wine over a nice lunch this afternoon. Hunting is as "American" as you can get! Hunters contribute YUGE sums of money to conservation programs all across the country. Many species would be extinct if not for conservation laws put in place at the request of skilled hunters. It's OK in my book if you never want to try doing it. I appreciate (more than you'll ever realize) your candidness and appreciation for respecting the rights of hunters in this experiment we call The United States ~R

The P365 is designed as a EDC gun. Putting a compensator on an EDC gun makes no sense. If you want a comp on a gun you really need to go with a compact size pistol as opposed to subcompact.

Another thing to consider is that the recent stream of negative attention the NRA is receiving is AGENDA-DRIVEN. With a conservative leaning Supreme Court, the anti-gun lobbies and Democrats are absolutely afraid that the NRA could back/push court challenges that would end up hamstringing the horseshit/meaningless state gun laws that they champion in order to win favor with the electorate. If the NRA can fund court challenges that kill the feel-good "look what "i've done for crime" laws , then they're a dangerous threat.

I am happy to report that the Supreme Court today denied NYC's motion to put the briefing of this case on hold while it considers amending its unconstitutional ban on travel with a gun outside the five boroughs: "Motion of respondents to hold briefing schedule in abeyance DENIED."

I just joined ANJRPC as a 3 year non-range member for their involvement in the Rogers case. Edit: I'll send the NRA a little something too.

Nice, I'm breaking out my smoker next week and a fatty will be one of the first things I smoke on it this year

Jus sayin

Yeah, I appreciate the input... I asked because: I don't know what I don't know! And I was wondering if that was like the proverbial "chicken running around..." scenario. I've never actually seen that either (don't want to), but I guess the body's systems sort of "die" at different rates. I'm delighted to hear they bring sidearms in case the rifle shot is not efficient. I don't question hunting from a "philosophical" stance at all. I'm pragmatic... and ever since I saw some undercover films of industrial farming, I've been utterly convinced that an animal that is "born free" (as free as the wind blows...lol) and "lives free" and dies "quickly and mercifully" is FAR better off than one, for instance, that's raised in a tiny pen (where it can't even turn), fed the flesh of other animals (even if it's naturally vegetarian), pumped full of steroids and antibiotics, etc. So, philosophically, again... I'm FINE with hunting, as it's actually more natural. I've just never seen it up close and personal like that...Yikes! Like most modern people, my interaction with the food chain is a very unnatural one... so I was a tad shocked, that's all. More power to those ladies... but, I'll skip the 2nd video... and stick with shrink-wrapped meat.

That wasn't the cleanest of kills, no. You will see some twitching. I've had this happen with pheasant too..

Due to the popularity of the "Survivor" shows, Texas is planning to do one entitled: "Survivor - Texas-Style!" The lucky contestants will all start in Dallas, drive to Waco, Austin, San Antonio, then over to Houston and down to Brownsville. They will then proceed up to Del Rio, El Paso, Odessa, Midland, Lubbock, and Amarillo. From there they will go on to Abilene and Fort Worth, and finally , back to Dallas. Each contestant will be driving a pink Prius with 15 bumper stickers which will read: 1. "I'm A Democrat" 2. "Amnesty For Illegals" 3. "I Love RAP" 4. "Boycott Beef" 5 "I Voted For Obama" 6. "George Strait Sucks" 7. "Elect Hillary In 2020" 8. "Vote Eric Holder Texas Governor" 9. "Rosie O'Donnell Is A great role model" 10. "I Love Obama Care and Chuck Schumer" 11. "Kaepernick Is My Hero" 12. "I Side With Jane Fonda" 13. "It's all Bush's Fault” 14. "Islam Is A Peace-Loving Religion" - and the last sticker is; 15. "I'm Here To Confiscate Your Guns" The first contestant to make it back to Dallas alive wins.

Nice vid! So a Hogue overmolded stock or an Archangel QBD stock would work?! I'm sold on the trigger and sights. Based on what you said the Archangel QBD would/could make it a take down and could also use a bull barrel, but that might be awkward with such a small and light stock and a heavy barrel. I'd stick with the tapered, short carbine one. I am sure that the Thompson will come out in some other colors besides OD and be quite popular with its stock features. Thompson should offer a twofer discount and these would make nice gifts. I will have to check out that video you mentioned that compares the two as the Thompson's ability to tap into the 10/22 aftermarket products will make it quite versatile. I wonder when the Mini 14 and Mini 30 patents are up.

I keep seeing the wrangler for $189. SMGA had them for $179 shipped. Still, with FFL transfer + NICS you're looking at $225-$230'ish. Better off buying from a local FFL who will get it for you for the same price if not cheaper

I want to get a black one. I think this would be the perfect handgun for introducing children to shooting.

Hoping Anthony can get the NRA to return to NJ.

It’s my favorite vegetable

I told family and friends in NC to vote for you. Congrats!

Ha! Suck it NYC!

Amazing news - congratulations!! (this calls for a cigar...)

Congrats Anthony. Time to start kicking ass and taking names.

Winning

Congratulations Anthony! We're all counting on you. Even here in FL!

Congrats @gunforhire

Congrats Ant. Is the average age of directors <100 now?

guess you didn't see this one...

Fight the good fight! Congratulations.

While they are not the only show in town, like it or not, they carry the most political clout as far as helping to elect pro second amendment candidates on the national level. Unfortunately, politics control our fate and politics control what judges are appointed. We have to win on two levels, National and State and they have 50 States to contend with. If we lose on the National level, it really will not matter what the State does---the game is over.

Bumping this thread, as @Franklin Armory poked the bear, me. I whole heartedly agree with @e92m3allday on this. As per Federal Law, one may acquire a stripped AR receiver, install the lower parts, add an arm brace, slap on a front vertical grip to a 10.5" upper, then hook the upper and lower together. Woola!! You've built a 26" firearm. It is not a pistol, as it is designed to be fired with two hands. It is not a rifle, because it does not have a stock which is designed to be fired from the shoulder. It is not an AOW, as it is over 26" and not concealable. In fact, it does not need to comply with the NJ AW Ban because that pertains only to rifles, pistols and shotguns. Okay, so who can word a letter properly to the NJSP or NJAG to address this legal issue, ie the shockwave approval letter. @JasonSeidman
