So Murphy was speaking.

Came out this morning. Here's the Opinion: https://dl.airtable.com/.attachments/6d809a9cc6fddb883f29559e63a83234/94d604dc/DuncanvBecerraOpinion.pdf Yay CA! The panel affirmed the district court’s summary judgment in favor of plaintiffs challenging California Government Code § 31310, which bans possession of largecapacity magazines (“LCMs”) that hold more than ten rounds of ammunition; and held that the ban violated the Second Amendment. The panel held that Cal. Penal Code § 32310 did not survive strict scrutiny review. First, the panel held that the state interests advanced here were compelling: preventing and mitigating gun violence. Second, the panel held that Section 32310 was not narrowly tailored to achieve the compelling state interests it purported to serve because the state’s chosen method – a statewide blanket ban on possession everywhere and for nearly everyone – was not the least restrictive means of achieving the compelling interests.

The market is nuts right now. Why do you pick up on unknown numbers? I don't think that I've picked up my land line in years for an unknown number.

And thank you Rosey for the great article and all you do in support of the 2A. Adios, Pizza Bob

@Pizza Bob @Golf battery I was so excited about meeting Richie & seeing you two again (for those that don't know the 3 of us used to shoot IDPA together at Somerset Fish & Game once in a while) that I could hardly sleep. I woke-up thinking about what I had to write before i forgot any of it. My notes jog my memory, and lots of coffee keeps me on-task. I hope I did well for both Richie & the history-making Team Kulak! Here's the article, ready sooner than I thought!: NJ FFL KULAK ARMS SPONSORS SHOOTING TEAM! GUN SHOP OWNER FORMS ACTION SHOOTING SQUAD! by Black Wire Media Thur. Aug. 13, 2020 www.cnjfo.com/join-us Richie Kulak is a full time LEO that loves the gun culture. He loves it so much so that when he leaves his "day job", he comes home to his Lawrence Twp., NJ basement "bunker" and literally surrounds himself with firearms spanning a 200 year history. Flintlocks to Glocks, he's got it all. Kulak established Kulak Arms in 1996, and up until 2017 his FFL business mostly catered to fellow LEO's and first responders. He "went public" in 2017 and the business "exploded". Kulak is a strong 2A proponent and relies solely on "word-of-mouth" advertising. At least he did until the end of July when he asked customer Bob Hess if Kulak Arms could somehow sponsor Hess's fondness for action shooting. Hess told Kulak he has friends that shoot with him. Team Kulak was born! Kulak is a member of Central Jersey Rifle & Pistol Club, and our NJ state NRA Association, ANJRPC. Kulak is a full-service FFL with more on his shelves these days than Cabela's store in Hamburg, PA. Richie spends a lot of time educating the masses on what's needed permit-wise to purchase firearms in NJ. He has folks walking in without a clue, after reading their newspapers and watching the TV news, thinking they can merely traipse-in and walk out with a firearm. Because the news media makes it all seem so simple. Items such as background checks, mental health check, references, and the entire permitting process & timeline get conveniently left-out by the media as they bang the drum for more & more gun control. Hess describes his favorite FFL as "A Gun Shop with a Heart!" and Kulak supports all sorts of local causes. He's by no means an easy mark, but he does have a heart of gold. There's almost always a cause or charity event he's supporting, so when you visit, be sure to ask how YOU can help! Because Gun People are the best people! "I spend more time educating complete Newbies -- first time gun permit applicants -- than selling guns! I believe in establishing relationships. If you show up during my dinner, I'll offer you some. It's my Italian heritage, nobody leaves unsatisfied" --- Richie Kulak, Kulak Arms owner Hess, a shooter since age 9, has six decades of shooting and gun collecting experience, and is the Team Kulak Captain. Hess's teammates are CNJFO member & supporter extraordinaire Ed Jackowski, and Zack Becker. The trio have been shooting local NJ action matches for years. Zack is the youngest and fastest at 29, Ed comes next at 51, and Bob, a young 69, competes with his Smith & Wesson revolver collection ("Wheelies" to those in the culture) and usually places lower in the finish order. This diverse team spans 40 years in age and represents 110 years of shooting experience! "Zack is a "natural". He shot an ICORE match with a brand new S&W revolver he never sighted-in and Ed & I watched him engage 4 targets getting 8 X's. If Ed forgets to engage a couple of targets or has a brain fart, I can beat him! We're a team of what the shooting sports represents, the everyday shooter." ---Bob Hess, Team Kulak Captain The "Action" disciplines involve practical shooting scenarios that require speed, accuracy and most of all, consistency. Drawing a loaded sidearm from its holster and engaging cardboard in various shapes & sizes containing scoring rings, and AR-500 rated steel plates that bullet impacts knock down are popular shooting targets in these action disciplines. Movement (sometimes known as "Running & Gunning") is often mandatory. "Action" means you're NOT standing in a port shooting S L O W L Y. Each discipline has its own set of rules as to size of target, order of engagement, number of shots allowed per stage, etc., and all three promote safe gun handling. Jackowski enjoys the local club competitions and is always challenging himself to improve his performance. Team Kulak is currently setting their match schedule and awaiting delivery of their team uniform shirts, to our knowledge a first for any New Jersey gun store! Kulak Arms sponsorship of the team includes all match fees for the trio, as well as customized team uniform shirts and hats. FFL Richie Kulak became a newsworthy trendsetter without ever realizing it. We learned about the team through reading Hess's announcement on the New Jersey Gun Forums ( www.njgunforums.com ), an interactive site where NJ gun owners and those that wish to be ask a ton of questions and get knowledgeable answers, especially from "Pizza Bob" Hess. Team Kulak shoots the following three action disciplines on a rotating basis three to four weekends a month: I.D.P.A. (International Defensive Pistol Association), U.S.P.S.A. (United States Practical Shooting Association), and I.C.O.R.E. (International Confederation of Revolver Enthusiasts). Tentative schedule for the bi-state based team includes USPSA at Shongum Sportsmen's Association the 1st weekend, ICORE at Lower Providence's range in PA on the 2nd weekend, 3rd weekend is currently open, and the 4th weekend is IDPA back at lower Providence in PA. Kulak Arms handles both retail AND Police Dept. sales, gunsmithing, hydro-dipping, machining parts (machinist on staff), NJ compliance work (mag & muzzle pinning), consignments, estate sales, transfers, and hunting & fishing licenses as an official Agent of NJF&W. Kulak Arms is the official FFL doing all transfers for the local Ducks Unlimited chapter, donating his time. CNJFO's newest sponsor, Kulak Arms conducts basic to advanced firearms training.

Huzzah Team Kulak! ---Rosey

Pussy Galore's flying circus?

So here is my newest acquisition, an Anschutz 1807 single shot .22LR. I first heard of Anschutz 9 years ago, when I was waiting on my background check for my first gun purchase. I saw a beautiful rifle at the store, but the pricetag was a bit too steep for me at that time. I didn’t forget about the Anschutz name, and would occasionally torture myself looking at the website or pictures of various models over the years. A few months ago, I started doing casual research, which became serious research and reading, which became browsing gunbroker, then setting up alerts on gunbroker, which turned into bidding on gunbroker. It is a damn slippery slope, that researching stuff. This 1807 features a trigger that is absolutely insane to me. I can’t measure the trigger pull because my pull gauge doesn’t go nearly low enough, but it is around 2oz or less. After the first trigger pull, it may have ruined most other triggers for me. The Savage Mark II that I am used to shooting has a 12-14oz trigger pull, and I thought that was light, until I tried using the Mark II again after using the 1807 for a while. I have no idea how I can use some of my old guns with much worse triggers ever again. Accuracy is amazing too, capable of putting 3 rounds through the same hole with my barely above average shooting abilities without even finding the ammo the gun prefers yet. It became my favorite gun before I’d even held it. To say I was excited about it was an understatement – I had a permanent grin on my face from the day I bought it, and the NICS backlog was torture.

ANJRPC's magazine case is still in the 3rd circuit, case 19-3142: https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/12252/association-new-jersey-rifle-v-attorney-general-new-jersey/

I just got my FID for long guns, although I don't know anything about guns or ammo. What is a good gun to get my hands on that will help me learn more but won't break the bank, at the same time being ideal at home defense?

Some more ideas that are awesome on the smoker: leg of lamb prime rib duck pork loin or tenderloin assorted sausages and don’t forget the appetizers: ABTs, pig candy, pig shots, smoked nuts, Moink balls, etc

The thing that my wife insists that we keep because cell service in the house is spotty at best.

I have a small second house by the shore and I CONSTANTLY get calls about it. I don't have a mailbox or landline at the house so I have no idea how they get my contact information in North Jersey. Maybe they blindly go through tax records?

Probably a bunch of Chinamen spraying our next monthly doses of Covid.

Rifle alone was $1070. Not sure what's next. An O/U is one of the other things that has been calling my name since at least the first shotgun shoot I went to. Also on list are a Vudoo V22 in an AICS chassis and a AI AW/AE/AT in .308 or one of the 6.5/6.8 calibers, though those are a long, long way off, unless I do decide on consolidating and sell off a ton of guns. I wanted the Anschutz for 9 years, but I've wanted an AI for at least 20 years

Without a doubt, flying lizard calligraphers.

3 seconds added per string — thats 15 seconds per stage total — this rule is the same for both monthly steel matches at OBRPC Doesn't really matter much — you are there to have fun, not win a cadillac Rimfire pistol no holster no penalty

Ditto. Good seeing you again rosey. Between you and bob. You two have alot of old guy stories. Which i admire. Thanks again comrade:). Meat a balls. Mangia.

It's just swamp gas.

Love the Anschutz line! There was a time when, for like two decades, every Olympic rifle medal was won by an Anschutz. At the beginning of my sophomore year in college, after a really good freshman year on the varsity rifle team, I got to unbox a brand new 1413 free rifle, for my exclusive use the rest of my college years. Unfortunately, the school felt strongly about not letting me take it when I graduated...

I'm going agree with the guy that called out the Geico Skytypers. They fly the T-6/SNJ Texan. Not a good picture, but from what I can tell that seems to make the most sense, plus I believe the Sky Typers are based in the area.

SWEET! Good luck with her!

Congrats on the purchase. I have a Holosun 510C on my "other firearm" as I prefer more than just a small dot. I have Astigmatism issues, so I find that prism sights work best. I have a Primary Arms GLX 2X prism scope on order.

I use 4x40 set screw

I don't think that you can say that these days.

It's a 100+ mile round trip for me. That won't stop me from spending my money there either! 2A is being held together by threads in this Gawd-awful state. One of the strongest of those threads is Richie Kulak. I just met the man yesterday. I'm impressed! Rosey

Where do these idiots come up with this crap?? Also from the article: ....."“Atilis Gym’s brazen conduct is abhorrent to an organized judicial system, jeopardizes the public health and the safety of New Jerseyans, and must not be tolerated,” the state Attorney General’s office has said." The gym owners don't FORCE anyone into the gym, they just unlock the door. People walk in with their own free will. Not only that, the patrons are PAYING to come in... This Democrat, intentional pissing, on the Constitution and Bill of Rights needs to stop, with these screwed up EMOTIONAL rulings!!!!!!!
