Here's an interesting discussion of this from The Federalist this morning: https://thefederalist.com/2021/11/08/6-things-we-just-learned-about-the-supreme-courts-gun-rights-case/ I particularly liked the part where NYS was trying to make the case that it was safer to have people carrying firearms in less populated areas than in denser areas, to which Justice Roberts quipped, "How many people get mugged in the woods?"

Depends on my mood. Bored Excited

Why would they? Dems don't follow the law, or constitution.

You really didn't think they were going to let an outsider in, let alone take down the most powerful shitbag (democrat) in Trenton, did you? NJ Dem Steve Sweeney refuses to concede election to GOP truck driver, says thousands of ballots 'found' | Fox News

It depends on the gun. My 1971 Marlin 39D can be dry fired, but earlier 39s should not. I do not recall the details, but it has something to do with the mechanics of the firing pin. Newer 22s have a firing pin stop to prevent peening. If in doubt, there's always snap caps.

It really depends on the intended use. If you shoot a lot in a session, 2" guns quickly become less fun, and it's a lot harder to shoot them well. But if you are somewhere you can carry concealed, you aren't going to want too long of a barrel. Hunters like longer barrels because you can generally coax more velocity out of the round. Target shooters like longer barrels, to a point, because the extra sight radius makes it possible to aim more precisely if shooting open sights...but weight is more of a consideration in a long match. Outside of those use cases, balance and aesthetics, which are more personal preference, come into play.

I have been taught to never dry-fire a rimfire gun and that it is safe to dry-fire modern centerfire guns.

So I was just thinking of something related to this. I read an article somewhere that the winner Durr applied for a carry permit and was denied. He should immediately re-apply and see if he is afforded the same level of justification that sweeny was.

I try.

That's what she said.

Barrel length is largely dependent on your intended use. Longer barrel: easier to aim, harder to conceal, less felt recoil Shorter barrel: harder to aim, easier to conceal, more felt recoil

When the gay rights issue was decided, all the legal analysts cited the parallel to 2nd Amend and carry rights. The cop up my street retired and had his carry license right away, basically a rubber stamp, which remains a 14th Amendment violation.

Not sure if it sold yet, but Howell Gun Works has/had an SCR for sale on consignment a week or so ago - it may be worth giving them a call to see if its still available

I had to look to see what it was, and voila! Here's a one on Gunbroker: https://www.gunbroker.com/item/915049285 It is even in NJ!

You must new new here....Oh, fourteen posts. NVM. You ARE new here. Lol. I'm hoping NY law gets shot down. I thought NJ's "justifiable need" scheme would have been challenged years ago after DC's "good cause" scheme fell It is my understanding that DC's "good cause" scheme was based on NJ's "justifiable need" scheme. Yet here we are. If NY law gets overturned, which I REALLY hope it does, then NJ will go kicking and screaming and initially saw they are complying but won't. They'll make it as difficult as possible. No carry within 500 yards of a school, government office, post office, court house, etc, etc,etc. Which means in more densely populated areas you won't be able to carry. Hope I'm wrong, we win and NJ falls in line with other free states.

My Henry Golden Boy definitely has nice wood on it.

None whatsoever. I have all three and like the Henry's way more than the others. I just bought a side gate case hardened octagon barrel 45Colt Henry a couple of months ago and it is my current favorite lever rifle. I saw a brass Henry 357 lever action at the LGS for $829

courts will only begin to listen when the masses start taking it to the streets demanding, via whatever means is left, that the constitution be upheld. I believe this

Based on what I read in the thread, I went to Klee's on Thursday and ordered the sizzling steak. Easily just as good as any steak that I ever had at Ruth Crist and half the price. 20211104_194941.mp4

Yes, because it happened in every state became a “must issue”. Yet these asinine assertions always go unchallenged.

Just my opinion, but the Marlin has the least amount of parts, offers durability in a time-tested design. Winchester is a classic Browning design; more parts, yet sturdy construction. Throw in the mix of how they were made a century ago to today, is what has made some more desirable than others, etc. New Winchester's are made in Japan by Miroku; the same folks who have been making the Citori since 1973, which is a close copy of the Browning Superposed crafted in Belgium. Great quality, but it comes at a price. Henry is a more modern design, American-made, but I am not a fan of MIM parts in its construction, or need for a transfer bar that wears, etc. But I know many folks who love their Henry's.

Agree. Since it is NY law being challenged, only the NY law would immediately be nerfed. NJ law would have to be challenged based on the new precedent to be overturned. That said, a NJ challenge is in the queue and could be reminded to the lower court to review based on this decision.
