Don't know if everyone saw the article about how the US "shot down" an Iranian drone that was threatening a U.S. Navy ship. In reality, the drone was not literally shot. Its frequency was jammed causing it to crash. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/national-security/trump-says-u-s-navy-ship-shot-down-iranian-drone-n1031451 Does anyone doubt for a minute that bad actors, including the government, would use similar technology to disable smart guns when they wanted to? Forget the expense, forget the potential unreliability. To me, the ability to readily disable them is the scariest thing about smart guns, as it completely defeats the purpose of the Second Amendment.

0o0o0o Ive been itching to dust some clays. I would like to say im going to go to this .. just need to clear it with da boss.

For the love of god, WHAT are you babbling on about, Zeke? Anyone who's seen me with a shotgun already knows I'm lousy... BUT I've never pretended otherwise! I certainly never tried to "school" anyone, you silly twit... harrumph! Where DO you come up with this stuff? That said, I do find shooting clays "fun" (albeit a strangely self-flagellating, masochistic kind of fun). So, I'll likely pop by for an hour or so... just to watch those beautiful, plump, unbroken clays fall to earth... and shatter... just like the way my fragile ego shatters just a teensy bit more every time I miss. @Krdshrk - put me down as "tentative".

He’s now on record for planning what we feared: repeal the 2002 law and require FFLs to display a SG. Once the market catches on, reintroduce the 2002 law, FOR THE CHILDREN, and effective ban all handguns.

I’m in. Thrower , clays and hopefully boolits. Says mid 80’s forecast. Is @Mrs. Peel gonna show up and school us as usual?

There is no "rifle' section" "Assault firearms" means: 1. Any of the following firearms: "Avtomat Kalashnikov type semi-automatic firearms" The gun is made by Kalashnikov USA... soo i guess that could get sticky. i would guess dropping the A in AK and adding a US could suffice... By definition it is NOT a Avtomat Kalashnikov.. its a Kalashnikov USA Colt dropped the ar-15 and car-15 nomenclature and people own those..?

What in the....

Bob A., thanks... he's probably former law enforcement... will be interesting to hear back

Pizza Bob, your friend's conditional carry of gun is ridiculous and unconstitutional. If your friend can be trusted to carry a weapon that should be it. Shouldn't matter where he's carrying. NJ politicians are so ridiculous.

This Friday... 7/22/19... going to my local police station in Middlesex County... and applying for gun carry permit... between the 1 inch square pictures... certified signatures and certified check... they really don't make this application process easy. Anyway, here's my "Letter of Need" ... I'm not naiive. I realize will probably get rejected and then take through the legal system if I can find an affordable lawyer. If anyone has any changes to the letter, please advise. Otherwise, I'll go with this: Dear Sir: This letter of need to carry a handgun is based on the following: - I attend and worship at Jewish synagogues. Due to the recent shootings at synagogues in the United States, I'm unable to pursue my constitutional right to practice my religion without a handgun permit. In 2018, 11 worshippers were killed at a synagogue in Pittsburgh, PA. In 2019, one worshipper was killed at a synagogue in Poway, CA. - Prior to these synagogue attacks, Jews were attacked in synagogues in University City, MO (1977); Rome, Italy (1982); Turkey (1986); Jerusalem (2014) and Copenhagen (2015). - I am a 30-year Army combat veteran. I served in Bosnia & Iraq. My sidearm in combat was a handgun, i.e., 9mm Beretta. I've had considerable training in the safe operation of weapons in general and handguns in particular. I would be happy to attend an additional safety course as a condition to being granted a permit to carry. - Constitutionally, the first amendment guarantees me the right to practice my religion freely. Without a handgun carry permit, I am afraid for my safety and cannot practice my religion freely. I'm too worried about being shot while worshipping and having no means to protect myself. - Constitutionally, the Second Amendment guarantees me the right to ". . . keep and bear arms." While some weapon restrictions are understandable, an outright ban prohibiting me from bearing my weapon where I'll need it, i.e., at synagogue, would clearly run counter to the Second Amendment. I would be happy to answer any questions and/or elaborate on any issues. Sincerely,

220 , 221 whatever it takes

I'll go see it anyway! Poor Kelly McGillis did not age well!

That's the point, as usual, the politicians are passing laws dealing with extremely small, fringe issues. There's a lot of BIGGER issues that need to be addressed than educating gun dealers on suicide. I don't know the stats for how many people commit suicide right after buying a gun in the state, but I'll take a wild guess, and say you can count them on both hands, and have some fingers left over.... maybe even a whole hand...

I think I would have known that considering I have his resume.

For what it’s worth, this Wednesday I’m going to interview a candidate for a position where I work. His resume says he’s from Columbia and has been here since 2006. It also says he has a permit to carry. Needless to say I plan on pursuing this in the interview. I’ll report back.
