Hmmm...just curious...where are you reading how difficult it is to shoot/pass the qualification course. Gun For Hire lists their course-of-fire using the standard FBI Q target. I am a cock-eyed old man who hasn't shot pistols in several years. I pulled a few of my guns out of the safe, cleaned them and successfully shot that course-of-fire for practice at my home range with each of those guns. All iron sights and included a compact (M&P 9C) and a sub-compact (SIG P290RS). With the SIG I had 1 miss at 25 yards. All the rest were 100%. In my judgement, if you can't pass the GFH qualification course you have no business carrying a gun!

I stripped and sanded the wood furniture I picked up for my Mossberg. I stained it golden oak, And sprayed it with six coats of satin oil base poly. Now I want to replace the butt pad.

Good luck! I keep reading on this thread that any qualification is pretty much impossible to pass with anything short of a scoped target gun.

Buy them a few beers and get a down payment together.

My doc is going to fall over laughing at this pic!!!!!!

Lots to think about here, and great points brought up by all. Thanks to @Mr.Stu for the latest info! Reloading components such as powder and primers are considered hazmat items and as such are exempted items for moving companies. Bullet heads that are hollow points are still evil (according to NJ). I know friends that have secured them in their original boxes in totes and stacked them in either the moving van or their personal vehicles. I also have friends that have shipped them to themselves at the new address since UPS doesn't care so long as no "machined parts" with serial numbers or finished ammo (the old ORM-D placard) are involved. New Jersey has a sordid history of not observing FOPA. Just ask the out-of-state guy who was both dog-ass tired from driving and stupid enough to fall asleep in a bank's parking lot with --OMG! --unregistered long guns in cases in a hatchback that were visible with a mere flashlight! He is doing or did TIME in PRISON! Because he didn't cover the rifle cases with a blanket! My advice is since movers charge BY THE POUND on their invoice after the truck is weighed, I'd just ship the heads to a friend or relative close to the new address OR consider shipping to a friendly FFL that you'll be glad to spend money with once you settle in. Heads in Free America aren't considered ANYTHING 'cept private property, so no transfer BS to worry about. If you never show-up to his / her place of bidness, he / she can sell them! It's a total win-win! Some folks would make up the ammo and use it before moving.. Some folks would make up the ammo and barter among friends for stuff they needed prior to the move.. Some folks wouldn't ask any questions---they'd just STFU and do what they're gonna do... Some folks think that black helicopters are already following them. Those people need to take some "Grow-A-Cet" , lol. One more thing: Remember Brian Aitken had to be pardoned by NJ Governor Chris Christy because although the mag charge "went away" since the cops never tested the 30-round mags to see if in fact they would fire round #16, THE HOLLOW POINT CHARGES STUCK!

I believe they are in Discovery right now, so no hard dates a present while both parties submit documentation. The NJ AG recieved 1 extensions already on finding historical and relevant information. I wouldnt be shocked, but its not a good look per say to request another extension after 9 months. The courts should be asking if they haven't found what they need to argue the case... public information, then they probably will never find it because it doesn't exist. So the AG would have to offer some kind of reason for the extension. Current time line said 9 months. I think that puts it in April to have completed Discovery and set dates for hearings. The 4 year timeline I beleive is for appeals to SCOTUS to have the matter "officially" ruled on. This could be done and over at the lower courts by next year if it goes in our favor. I bet this gets struck down in the district court, which is a major win for NJ. I ALSO beleive the state will forgo appeals. Similar to Delawares ruling on manufacturing firearms lacking a serial number, these States have figured if they can't win in District courts there is no way to reverse the ruling in their respective higher courts which are sure to scrutinize their BS even more. I think a lot of them are seeing the short sighted mistake that NY did with the 2nd circuit, which yes bought them some time, but they know they are going to lose, and THAT decision will be far reaching compared to the District decision if they just let it stand.

Reminds me of a girl who was very popular when I was at Lehigh Univ. during the mid-70's Horizontal Holly was her name!!

Tex needs a new shotgun, so this has to go. WTS: Trijicon ACOG TA-44C with LaRue LT105 QD mount. This is the ‘mini’ ACOG. New. Red Circle/dot reticle. Dual illumination. All original included Trijicon accessories, including lens pen, warranty card, and stickers, etc. Also included is the LT adjustment wrench for the mount. LaRue Tactical sells this package for $1077, I’ll sell for $800 shipped to your door. My loss is your gain. You know the rules…first one to post ‘I’ll take it’ wins the sale..

To make your attorney's job a little more achievable IF you get involved in a shooting, it is highly advisable to have qualified with the gun you were carrying.

One can never make assumptions in this state.

And at the present time, very high likelihood they'll figure it out, with all the technology at police disposal, and neighbors ring camera etc. And I'm pretty sure this kind of action would pretty much destroy any self defense claim you might have had. Don't mess with evidence, they will figure it out and jury will assume you're guilty.

Pick a gun range in the area that you are moving to. Print out the directions and put them in your car. If/when you ever get stopped just say you are going to that range to shoot. You are covered under the exemption if you are going to the range. Do not say you are moving.

Check the statute - it is the bullet that is prohibited, regardless of whether it is assembled into a whole round of ammunition: 2C:39-3 Prohibited weapons and devices. 2C:39-3. Prohibited Weapons and Devices. f. Dum-dum or armor piercing ammunition. (1) Any person, other than a law enforcement officer or persons engaged in activities pursuant to subsection f. of N.J.S.2C:39-6, who knowingly has in his possession any hollow nose or dum-dum bullet, or (2) any person, other than a collector of firearms or ammunition as curios or relics as defined in Title 18, United States Code, section 921 (a) (13) and has in his possession a valid Collector of Curios and Relics License issued by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives, who knowingly has in his possession any armor piercing ammunition, as defined in subsection gg. of N.J.S.2C:39-1, is guilty of a crime of the fourth degree. For purposes of this section, a collector may possess not more than three examples of each distinctive variation of the ammunition described above. A distinctive variation includes a different head stamp, composition, design, or color.

Oh hell, that’s so bad, but so damn funny!!!

Maybe just restrict ammunition sales to her two sons, who have the armed robbery convictions. Most of the rest of us aren't the problem.

I'll concede it's a very interesting gun, though one of the few 'interesting' guns I don't aspire to own someday. And yeah, I'd also like to see a video of it being shot at night.

That is a good question. If the state is asking for more time to "research historical precedence", as @ESB noted above, then standard capacity would seem to be that precedence.

It's an interesting question. I imagine any legal stop would require it. Better off saying it and not having to worry about it. Hopefully someone smarter than me will answer that.

I consider Mas Ayoob an authority on the subject, and its definitely worthwhile to watch his videos or read his books on the subject. For example, in his 20 year-old video, he explains that a woman running down the street screaming rape and being chased by a guy could very well be a hooker trying to escape from an undercover cop. Would not be a good idea to draw down and shoot. Or the guy knocking at your door at 3am could be an officer trying to inform you of an emergency/accident, etc..

Using that article as inspiration, I asked ChatGPT to give me convincing reasons why Pork Roll is the correct name vs. Taylor Ham. Here are the results: “Here are some points you can make to convince people that "Pork Roll" is the proper term: 1 Official name: The product is officially called "Pork Roll" by the manufacturer, Taylor Provisions. The term "Taylor Ham" was initially used as a marketing term by the same company, but the name was changed to "Pork Roll" in the 1950s. 2 Regional usage: "Pork Roll" is the more common term used in the southern part of New Jersey, where the product was invented. "Taylor Ham" is more commonly used in the northern part of the state. As a result, using "Pork Roll" is more in line with the original and traditional usage of the term. 3 Clarity: "Pork Roll" is a more descriptive term than "Taylor Ham" because it accurately reflects the ingredients and the production process of the product. "Taylor Ham" is a brand name that does not convey much information about the food itself. 4 Brand neutrality: Using "Pork Roll" is a more neutral way to refer to the food because it does not promote any specific brand. "Taylor Ham" is a proprietary name and using it can be seen as endorsing that brand. In summary, while both "Pork Roll" and "Taylor Ham" are used to describe the same food product, "Pork Roll" is the more traditional, descriptive, and neutral term to use.”
