The other fun one to shoot was an AR with a binary trigger. Are those legal in NJ? Haven't seen much... Is more fun than a bumpfire stock.

Yes, they are pretty dang good.

Too bad you were not rowing your boat in your backyard lake.

Make sure to push this as a comp claim... this should not have an effect on your insurance rating versus a collision claim. I assume your comp deductible is lower?

Rob, between your post and mine... I think we are hitting the saturation point for jelly. lol Private land is the way to go... but you are limited to range... and neighbors... but that Yulee area has a ton of space.

Socialists preparing to take over the state? Already happened. Just look at the underlying demographics, until those shift, it is a lost cause. Why do people chose to live in NJ? Because they value proximity to NYC, and generally anything you want hobby or culture wise available. They value that more than higher taxes and personal freedoms. Having cross the border, granted still 10 mins away from NJ and within 1:15 of NYC... the life priorities here are different than the rat race in NJ. All you have to do is take a look at the amounts of business owners on the forum who are still here... Yes, some have residences outside the state too but... generally there is a conscious decision to stay and being in the minority. Quite frankly gun owners in NJ are like steak salesman standing outside a Vegan restaurant complaining that no one wants the steak. The hard core gun owners in NJ already likely live in the North West or South Jersey... and well... they are merely losing mags in boating accidents. Need to go get new people to the range.

Trolling? I think your post is! Stop being a douche. You young wiffer snapper. And obviously you are not a 1911 fan. =) In reality, I was thinking about this too. Yes, the 10 round mag law is draconian but... I do think it will re-ignite the passion people had for classic revolvers and the 1911 platform. Personally, already made the decision that if I am traveling for a match in NJ, it will be to shoot Single Stack division and will be picking up another 1911 in the future as permitting.

Yikes. Glad you guys are okay. Should be cheap under comprehensive deductible. (wildlife is comp claim, not collision.)

HAHA, yes.... it would. Here is more goodness. https://i.imgur.com/PMtfPdZ.jpg?2 https://i.imgur.com/PMtfPdZ.jpg?1

But then when they one day see inside of your safe... "DAMN.... I did not know you spent so much on buying so many!"

Not anyone on the forum BUT I do know of a few people I worked with years ago that actually kept their guns in storage rooms, their friends homes or even in their vacation homes so that their spouse would not know either that they own guns or at the very least how many. That is I suppose the difference between questions 1 and 2.

Granted, the sample size is still small, but I am not surprised that 4/10 have had to sneak in a gun.... but am more surprised that the majority so far... have had to stretch the truth in terms of how much their firearms cost. Will see in the next 48 hours if this holds up.

Bunch of perves... I am talking about a rifle case here.

I would think so... yes. She did not notice the floppy case going out the door and having it come back stiff? =) Or was it one of those plastic fantastic cases that is always stiff for more than 4 hours?

Feel free to comment, and all of these results are anonymous.

Had these issues I believe with some older Spikes lowers and PSA LPK.

Inspired by @Mrs. Peel post about firearms and spouses, I wanted to run a poll to see where we stand.

Have shot a good amount of full auto and tax stamp at industry events and Shot Show Media Days... but here I was at a friends house 15 mins away from me in PA, getting together with a group of his neighbors to just go shoot. No one had the urge to go knock over a 7-11 or in any way be unsafe. No state police showed up and all of the neighbors were just fine with guns. Invited a couple of new shooters who had an amazing time.... although I am afraid their gun experience is ruined as they were shooting suppressed 1911s, 22s, a full auto Uzi and AKs for days. My two Veprs in the picture above... 223 and a 7.62x39. My SVT-40 however had a few issues... have to tear it down and see if gas or whatnot. The fun toys were NOT mine. God Bless America.... (and Israeli, Russian and German gun designers too...)

Glad you enjoyed it. New ranges are always great... the fresh paint and everything still working. =) In a year... the range gets dirty, things start breaking down and the majority of people are tourists or non-gun people renting and you start feeling a bit uneasy. It's always a balancing act. On one hand I really love new people coming in to shoot, on the other hand... I feel the most unsafe at public gun ranges and after getting muzzle swept by an AR more than twice in a day... you tend to avoid. Will be interesting to see how the ranges in close proximity to each other do, hopefully creates some opportunities for slower times for gun owners to go and shoot at their own pace.

For those interested in organizing and keeping things safe... instead of chatting in the frozen tundra for an hour before, why not get together for an hour or so at a Sbux in the area instead. =) Will get some dates together. In general, everyone who shows up is safe and experienced, finding the new folks is the number 1 priority to keep them welcome and safe.

Yes, the post it is always on the laptop camera. This though is secondary to the iphones and other "assistants" like Alexa, Google Home, etc, that are always listening and in many cases recording... "Hey Google, Hey Alexa, Hey Siri...."

Lots of great discussion here. So Anastasia is totally fine with firearms in the house, shoots herself (although not as much with the two kiddos). Generally, no issues about buying because we do have the trust that I would not be buying frivolous firearms and we both understand that they are assets and not an expense... shooting is... but not the guns. Seeing me sell my AR's after Sandy also bought lots of good will knowing that can see it logically. For many, I think it is the $ issue rather than the gun issue and when guns are not talked about, or specifically when one party thinks it is useless... guns are easily considered an expense. After all, do most gun owners outside the forum ever sell a gun? I think most just keep them and not shoot them. The question of "what if..." is a great one and why I had a post and a spreadsheet I did earlier for gun planning... a PDF you can fill out with inventory of guns, along with your disposition wishes (sell, gift, keep) and whom should be contacted along with latest value.

So seems like Facebook gave more than 150 companies access to your private messages. https://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/gadgets-and-tech/news/facebook-data-sharing-privacy-lawsuit-mark-zuckerberg-subpoena-a8690641.html

Great looking two tone 1911. Also a fan of the stippling... seems nice without being tooo aggressive. Issue with too aggressive is that it also gets dirty very quick.
