Dan Schmutter will be on GunForHireRadio 674 next Sunday for a full breakdown. He, Nappen, Bach, etc are analyzing now.

One of the very very very very few times where the famous statement made by most New Jersey officials can actually apply: "We need to get guns off the streets."

"State said LCM's are a risk to mass shootings and they need to be banned to allow people to escape at the reload." Wow, the argument for restricting magazine capacity is so that in a mass shooting, people have time to get to safety during the reload. This clearly shows their massive ignorance or blatant lies. A mass shooting is typically planned in advance and the shooter will have many magazines on them, strategically placed. Reloads typically take less than 4 seconds and can take less than 2 with a little practice. This is not enough time for an unarmed victim to realistically realize the shooter is actually reloading and flee and get to a safe location in time. If that were actually the case, all mass shootings would be limited to 10 people as after the 10th round, everyone else could flee to safety during the reload. Clearly this is not the case. Further, mass shooters also do not care about laws since they aren't planning on being around after the incident (suicide by police) to face any consequences of using "illegal large capacity magazines", so banning them in one state does not prevent a mass shooter from using so called "LCMs" in a mass shooting. Banning LCM's would have very little effect on mass shootings. On the other hand limiting the magazine round count significantly impacts a weapon's usefulness in a home defense situation for the law abiding citizen. Break ins are rarely perpetrated by just one person these days, but instead by multiple thugs. Again criminals do not obey laws, so they could have illegal firearms with high capacity magazines. During a break in, the home owner rarely has time to load up and secure multiple magazines on their person in a high stress and quickly evolving situation, especially if this is likely occurring at night and you are in your pajamas or worse. You would be lucky to be able to grab your weapon with one mag already in it, and maybe one mag more. While a mag change may not be enough time for an unarmed victim to safely flee, a mag change by a home owner with a low capacity magazine could give an armed criminal the time to safely return fire and kill the home owner. The same could be said in a CCW self defense situation. Not many CCW's carry more than 2 magazines. In a shootout if the law abiding citizen with a low capacity magazine has to stop to reload or runs out, that could provide the criminal with illegal HCM's to safely shoot and kill the law abiding citizen.

Typical state fear-mongering arguments. Them pushing that numbers don’t equate to common use is nonsensical. Judge asking about ruling for the standard capacity mag ban but against AR (features) is concerning. Smacks of interest balancing which is explicitly forbidden under Bruen.

Finders keepers…

The argument is demonstratively false considering there have been a non-zero number of mass shootings where the shooters used small magazines.

So stupid...

Notes from yesterday's hearing, ostensibly (don't know the source):

Colion would easily wipe the floor with Hogg and he knows it!

I guess the Camden and Newark branches of the "Juan, Jose & DeShawn Armory" might see a sales increase with Biden''s assclownery.

I take it that this was a part of that debate?

Meh, if it seats, it yeets!

Did we cover the Mayor of Englishtown's response to Platkin's sticker yet?: https://twitter.com/DFrancisco7/status/1773161575475532275

Here's the Hornaday Critical Defense rounds I've been cycling in and out of of my G26 and G19 mags for home and PTC carry for the last ~4 years. I unload them from the mag in so I can load FMJ's for range sessions, usually onto my bed comforter, and then put them in a dish on the dresser. They've fallen on the floor and rolled into the under bed dust bunnies a bunch of times. I've carried them loaded in a mag in my pocket a bunch of times. I carry with a round in the chamber, so they've all been chambered a bunch of times. Never an issue. I don't think the rubber/polymer/whatever tip actually contacts the feed ramp, but maybe I'll do a close up video of a slow chambering to check. The tips definitely collected carbon residue, but they're not looking like they're packed with feeding or chambering inhibiting detritus to my eyes. I probably should fire these off my next range trip and cycle new ones in.

This is a late trip report, as I avoid posting trip plans to social media until after I'm home. We planned to drive to upstate NY. The forecast wasn't great, but it looked like the best odds were to get as far east as we had time for, on the southern shore of Lake Ontario. We ended up at the delightful town of Sodus Bay. In town we enjoyed a brewed-just-for-the-occasion black lager called Totality, then set up at a primo spot right on the beach. But, the overcast arrived well before the eclipse. We saw nothing of the sun, though of course it got much darker for 3 1/2 minutes. We hedged our bets by spending the day before in Ithaca; It had been 20 years since I had a chance to wander around my grad school alma mater, then the day after we had planned a trip to Niagara Falls--my wife had never been there. So the trip worked out ok, but if I were to post my best eclipse photo, it might be this, taken under blue skies the next day:

Do you test every primer before seating it too?

I have a few boxes of the factory ammo. That is what I am carrying. I bought these to duplicate the factory load so I can use them for practice. Practice with what you carry right? This way is WAY cheaper than a dollar a shot or so. Instead of shooting FMJ I can shoot these for the same price or less.

I actually trust my reloads more than I do factory ammo! I visually check the presence and amount of powder in each casing before I insert the bullet. I have an auto powder drop stage on my press but I don't use it and never will! Sure, it adds more time to the reload process but I will never have a squib round in my reloads whereas with any factory ammo, you just can't know! Is it rare, yes. In a defensive situation, a squib stuck in your barrel is the end for you! As to factory ammo, I just now ordered 5 boxes of Hornady Critical Duty at $25 per box of 50 rounds. Cheapest I have seen in eons!

That was more than 18 months ago. He ordered "discovery". Discovery of what? Heller laid out the text, history & tradition requirement. Nj had already had ample opportunity to show the historical support for this if it ever existed. History from the time of the founding cannot be created anew in the last 18 months. I am sick and tired of the so-called justice system pretending that they know best.

I put a cable lock in with the jack…just run it down the barrel or through trigger and go through jack frame mount…they can cut the cable but they would have to find it first….and even they do….i did the best possible….

I am not sure if they are legal if they are placed as designed. I think the statute is poorly phrased (what a surprise!) It reads: A holder of a valid and lawfully issued permit to carry a handgun shall not leave a handgun outside of their immediate possession or control within a parked vehicle, unless the handgun is unloaded and contained in a closed and securely fastened case, or gunbox, and is not visible from outside of the vehicle, or is locked unloaded in the trunk or storage area of the vehicle. The subject of the sentence is clearly the gun. If it is in a locked container the gun will automatically be out of sight. They probably intended that the container must be out of sight, but that is not what they wrote. I looked into the RapidSafe as I have them inside my home for staged guns. The quick access RFID function is very good. It seems from the reviews that they are very unstable when you use the air cushion to hold them in place and I do not see the need for quick access in a vehicle. I opted for the less expensive Hornady key safe which slides easily under the seat to be out of sight. The key safe got a not terrible review from LPL. Bear in mind he picks the lock on everything.

Not reparations, damages. And be fine with tax dollars paying it. Reach into the pockets of those who voted for these fuckers.

US District Court in TRENTON There is no way we win against NJ in a NJ courtroom. I'm confident that Magazine limits will need to go to the SCOTUS. But that's going to take years, if ever. Here are the most recent magazine limit cases. Basically they both ruled against the citizens. This is what NJ is going to use to rule against us. So that will be 3 decisions saying they are constitutional. The problem is we need conflicting rulings and it's not happening. https://thepublicsradio.org/criminal-justice/federal-appeals-court-rejects-challenge-to-rhode-islands-ban-on-high-capacity-magazines/ https://www.cbsnews.com/sanfrancisco/news/california-large-capacity-magazines-ban-likely-to-survive-lawsuit-9th-circuit-court/ And yes, even though many people don't or don't want to believe it, it is a concerted effort to strip citizens of their rights.
