    He's either wrong or you misunderstood what he said. I think it's the latter based on your last paragraph. You can't use hollow points or FULL METAL JACKET for SD in NJ??? You can use either at home. Full metal jacket is not a good idea as it overpenetrates but you certainly can use it. If it's what you got use it. It works okay. We fought all our wars with FMJ and it seemed to work. You need to become more familiar with the laws that govern the permissible use of lethal force in NJ. I've only been a firearms instructor for about 45 years. What could I know?

    Here you go Self Defense https://law.justia.com/codes/new-jersey/2019/title-2c/section-2c-3-4/ Defense of other https://law.justia.com/codes/new-jersey/2019/title-2c/section-2c-3-5/ Defense of property note in NJ defense of property never justifies deadly force and use of a gun in NJ is defined as deadly force. https://law.justia.com/codes/new-jersey/2019/title-2c/section-2c-3-6/ Here’s the statute on hollow points as well. Note it just has locations you can possess hollow points not actions you can perform https://law.justia.com/codes/new-jersey/2019/title-2c/section-2c-39-3/

    I can easily fix that. I am also an NRA certified instructor and what he told you is fiction. In NJ there are statutes which describe what level of force you can legally use in various locations and situations. There is clear delineation between where and under what circumstances deadly force vs. non-deadly force can be used. There is nothing in any of these statutes that even mentions the type of bullet you may or may not use if deadly force is justified, let alone proscribes one type or another.
  7. This could be why you can't find any ammo... ....."One of the best indicators of firearms sales, the FBI’s National Instant Criminal Background Check System logged 3,602,296 checks in November, an increase of 41 percent over the figure of 2,545,863 for November 2019. In fact, it was the biggest November in the NICS program’s 21-year history. However, when checks and rechecks for carry permits and the like are subtracted from that figure by the National Shooting Sports Foundation, leaving a more concrete number for over-the-counter checks on gun transfers conducted through federal firearms licensees, it yields 1,949,141 checks, which is an increase of 45.2 percent compared to the November 2019 NSSF-adjusted NICS figure of 1,342,155. When added to the rest of the year, the 2020 running total stands at some 19.1 million adjusted checks, dwarfing the 2016 annual record of 15.7 million checks, and the year still has another month to go before the books are closed. Of those checks, NSSF estimates that a whopping 7.7 million came from new first-time gun buyers. https://laststandonzombieisland.com/2020/12/03/thats-a-lot-of-guns/
  8. You are still wrong. We can, and have repeatedly dried up the whole world because the US domestic ammunition market dwarfs everything else in the ammo world. Your understanding of the market is shit, and your need to imagine a conspiracy doesn't help. The fact that 5 million people did it is not digestible because they didn't. That is not what is going on. This does not make it a conspiracy. Last "panic" that impacted global supply was not actually the 2012 panic but the previous one under Bush that had us already buying and then added a HUGE purchase from the military and homeland security To the tune of nearly 3 billion rounds in ~2 years. At that time the us ammo market was ~11 billion rounds, about 7 billion of that produced domestically, and about 1.8 billion of that being rimfire ammo. To come in with an order of 9 billion rounds of mostly .223 and 9mm put a hurting on availability of those rounds and related components. Today you have us domestic supply for ammunition that sits at about 8.1 billion rounds. Since I can't find numbers for now, lets assume it too increased capacity by about 14% and moved from 4 billion to about 4.5 billion. That gives us an annual capacity of about 12.6 billion rounds of ammo. So some quick math. WE had roughly 100 million gun owners in the US. We added about 7 million new ones. That is 107 million gun owners roughly. Now lets say they all decide they want one 50 round box of ammo. That's 5.35 billion rounds of ammo there. Lets say they want 150 rounds each. That's now 16+ billion rounds of ammunition. Significantly greater than the global supply. If it was just the 7 million new owners buying, they would need to buy just 1800 rounds a piece to completely eat up the existing manufacturing capacity. This unlikely to be the case, but it is also not unimaginable when you see that lesson one second one of being a new gun owner for them is that this shit runs out and you need to supply your own inventory in an emergency. But I can guarantee you 100% that new gun owners would be averaging above 3 boxes a piece if they could get it readily. I also guarantee you that plenty of existing owners who never bought in bulk are now shopping in the 500-2000 round size purchase. This shitstorm is actually less bad than it could be, and that was because when this hit, we had an ammo GLUT and some of the lowest prices in recent history. If not for that ammo prices would be way higher and the shortages would be worse. But effectively we have 100% capacity going right now PLUS all the shit that was sitting in warehouses. If you are a a member of the government doing game plans on possibly confronting America's gun owners, there's a big implication in the fact that these numbers aren't much, much worse: These numbers tell us that a huge chunk of this ammo we've been buying over the years isn't getting shot. It's getting stockpiled. If everyone was out, the customer who buy by the 1000 instead of but they 100 would be putting a lot more pressure on the market. There's a shit ton of us not participating in this at all right now and it is still this bad. There's no conspiracy. There was a pandemic which made people fear their government and fear what will happen if a nation full of people suddenly winds up poor and hungry. Then you added violent riots. Then you add in the usual presidential election panic buying. You ARE seeing weird market forces though. One of the things magnifying this greatly are small shops who want to service their customer base are buying inventory at retail prices and reselling them with normal business markups. SO you are effectively seeing a retail supply chain version of compound interest going on. Part of what is fueling this is you have also seen some large manufacturers going into direct sales. So yes, you are seeing a bit of a breakdown in the distributor system that previously covered at or near 100% of the market. But it's failure is not some pre-planned, engineered thing to make a buck. It's a reaction to it being insufficient, and that reaction is not an efficient reaction.
  9. After checking the webcam, I ran over to the Wayne site at lunchtime to have my inspection renewed. Only one car ahead of me. Still took about 25 minutes on site--they have a team of remarkably uninspired workers standing around there.
  10. Only if you live in Trenton, Camden, Newark, Neptune or Patterson.

  12. Everyone else does! It's like Fight Club ...
  13. Because it doesn't work that way. http://adacourse.org/courtconcepts/scotus.html
  14. It was still in use until a second cable snapped in November. Apparently the first cable snapped way back in August. There are a couple of small instruments associated with the lab that are still in use, but this one was the crown jewel. Goldeneye was the Bond movie that used the telescope as a backdrop. It collapsed in the movie, too. Goldeneye clip of Aricebo
  15. I don't order anything backordered as they can cancel, change terms, or you wait and wait and wait. I'm stocked up well on 22lr as well.
  16. depends to be honest. are you moving on foot or via truck, are you moving with just your family or did you pre-arrange the shtf with a group? so many variables here I have a group and we're bugging out in vehicles and will be taking thousands of rounds amongst other things that said, I don't necessarily disagree with your premise it's not just an absolute
  17. https://www.foxnews.com/politics/nra-lawsuit-against-new-jersey-concealed-carry-permit-law.amp Fox news article. This would be awesome if this happens.
  18. I had to show this wagon because one of my friend's father had one, although not in the condition below. I remember he asked to take us for a ride on RT 287 in NJ in the mid '70s. At that time going up towards Bedminster was still pretty light in traffic, especially after working hours. Well 3 or 4 of us were trying to find a polite way of declining because what teenager wanted to tool around in a station wagon. They weren't cool. Well we learned a thing or two about engines, especially when he opened it up on the Interstate! I couldn't believe a stodgy, heavy wagon could move like that! 1969 Chevrolet Kingswood 427 Station wagons are not usually thought of as muscle-cars, but the Kingswood deserves the label as it is a proper pavement punisher. In 1969, if you were picky with the options packages, you could order the big family truckster with the 427 cubic-inch Turbo-Jet V8, pushing 390-horsepower through a four-speed manual transmission. With all the kids strapped in, and despite weighing more than all the moons of Jupiter, the Kingswood could achieve a 0-60 mph time of 7.2 seconds and run the quarter-mile in 15.6 seconds. That’s not bad for a wagon the size of Texas designed for family hauling. "And some like two guns. But one's all you need if you can use it..." - Shane I have to repeat something. We're talking a station wagon off the line, not one of these one-offs that were made for racing by the car companies. "0-60 mph time of 7.2 seconds and run the quarter-mile in 15.6 seconds." Remember in 1969 the Kawasaki Mach III 500 had these numbers. It packed 50 odd HP and 12 second quarter mile times into a $999 package! www.cycleworld.com/sport-rider/1969-kawasaki-mach-iii-500/
  19. That sucks. I went there in 2003. Still have a T-Shirt from the gift shop. It was a cool place. It was also used in the movie Contact and was a prominent setting in the video game Battlefield 4. EA boosted the size of the site and it wasn’t accurate in terms of many details of the surrounding area, but the dish and towers were very detailed. Ironically, if you shot the cables at their anchors, you could collapse the whole thing. And the sequence looked a lot like that real video. https://battlefield.fandom.com/wiki/Rogue_Transmission
  20. For comparison purposes. Colt CR6920 M4 Carbines in stock. At $2K.
  21. I was in and out in about 15 minutes at Bakers Basin about two weeks ago. There were only about four cars there the whole time I was there. Adios, Pizza Bob
  22. After the panic of late 2012-early 2013, I stocked up, and bought lots of ammo whenever the prices were good. Still, I would not sell any, as the supply and price situations don't look like they will get better any time in the foreseeable future. While I have a lot, it's not an infinite supply, and I'm planning on making it last for at least the next several years. BTW, Rob Ski at AKOU 47/74 astutely points out that having a lot of ammo on hand is for shooting at the range, not for SHTF. He says that if you get in that many gunfights, sooner or later you will encounter someone better than you. Sage advice.
  23. up to 2yr backlog and over 1billion in sales pending so it's not gouging, it's supply issue. Raw components are not up while demand far outstrips availability. .20/rd for 22lr is going to be here a while. While I have a ton of 36gr high velocity ammo, I'm glad I bought all those Thunderbolts at .02 delivered while everyone dogpiled them on the deals posting. lol I sold 3k of it so far to people begging for 22 at 200/1k I've zero sympathy for people that didn't stock up
  24. ....and he didnt kill himself, either
  25. Now your talkin! I had a 68 from my dad. Factory 302- 3 spd. Wasn't long till it was rocking a 351C 4 spd dual exhaust etc.....so much work and fun for a 19 yr old!
  26. lots of cool older heavyweights that don't get too much love. One such car is the old Cougars. They had some nice lines, nice power, great look to them
  27. You will get several emails throughout the process, but the one you are looking for says this, more or less... " You have a pistol permit that is ready to be executed" "Executed" is the key word you are looking for in an email.

    If you like . . . You can either find something that contradicts my statement or take it up with the NRA certified instructor that led the recent class that I took my girlfriend and son to. According to him, you can POSESS hollow points and you can shoot them at a range. He was incredibly clear: You can't use hollow points or FMJ for home defense in NJ. He recommended Hornady Critical Defense and one or two others.
