The Ghost Gun Thread
Most quality shotguns dating back to the late 1800’s have serial numbers, particularly any doubles. I can’t speak for any “hardware store guns.” though. What most don’t have are paperwork of transfer of the infamous or NJ COE.

The Ghost Gun Thread
Anyone who thought this wouldn’t happen is fooling themselves. I’m all for constructing and building, but a certain element took it to the next level, and no one should be surprised. Like every other restriction, it’s always a small handful that ruin it for everyone else.

Cost to carry in NJ. This is criminal
The costs are exorbitant, and we’re still dealing with a moving target and towns that continue to make up their own rules. I also don’t think the state is done. They will continue to throw up more roadblocks. My circle of friends are between the ages of 65 through 78. Everyone on a fixed income. Most of us have lived in New Jersey all our lives and never had a carry gun except for a couple who were in the service in another state while serving. None of us have ever had a need or situation for a firearm for needed protection either. Any cost, every two years, is a waste of money in today’s economy. My sights are set on moving, not wasting my money just to thumb my nose and give a raspberry to the politicians of this state. Politicians have banked on this. Call it retreating to higher ground, but New Jersey has been sinking into the cesspool for decades.

NJ LAWMAKERS ANNOUNCE PLANS TO DESTROY RIGHT TO CARRY
Everyone has been happily paying the new fees. If you’re paying the fees then you must be okay with the new changes? They’ll assume so, so I doubt they’re going back.

Tedesco intimated this week the shortfalls in Bergen County, blaming Covid, business closures, inflation, etc. Their budget won’t be released for approval until July, but he’s laying the groundwork for an increase in taxes.

NJ LAWMAKERS ANNOUNCE PLANS TO DESTROY RIGHT TO CARRY
I still find the cost to get oneself vetted and licensed for a PTC exorbitant, and puzzled by the fact it took a collective group of people and attorney’s to get the right Supreme Court to listen after more than a century.

Ayoob On Carrying With A Chambered Live Round
Some block the sear (M700). But that’s the same safety that for years until 1982 you could pull the trigger, push the safety off and the gun might discharge. Or, slam the butt on the ground and drop the firing pin from an overtinkered sear engagement with the safety off. Many shotgun and rifle trigger groups of modern rifles and shotguns like 870, 1100, 760, 742, that drop out of the receiver have a safety that merely limits rearward travel of the trigger. No sear is blocked. AR trigger limits trigger travel, but that includes locking the sear engagement surface and movement to the hammer. Pistol safeties with firing pin blocks, and blades in the trigger face are pretty sophisticated today, many today modulate a firing pin that is half or fully cocked rearward, ready to fly once the trigger is fully depressed and the trigger bar pushes rearward then drops away. How did we manage all those years with revolvers that had no safeties?

Ayoob On Carrying With A Chambered Live Round
Many safeties on rifles and shotguns today still do nothing more than block travel of the trigger. When a 1911 safety is engaged, it will block the forward travel of the hammer while the grip safety limits rearward travel of the trigger. JMB knew what he was doing. Pretty sure the safety lever equipped Sig M17 & M18 locks the sear and trigger bar in the upward position. The P320 without a safety switch is a different story.

Looking For Black Sig P320 M18.....
The black M18 is out of stock many places, and I believe was discontinued. In its place you can order this P/N : 320C-9-BSS-MS-MA But it will have a different rear sight and no removable plate for a red dot.

Murphy's Made His Move
There is no doubt where this fool stands. The same fool who spent 1/5 of the total statehouse refurbishment expense on a rug, the 1 item that will become the most trampled on and soiled and hence the first to be replaced. What a dope.completely out of touch. He wants “majesty ”? Kneel, ye peasants of New Jersey! Let’s not forget an upgrade to Tammy’s office as well. Yes, all the wives/spouses nowadays have their own taxpayer-funded offices, staff, security, etc. They all live the life of luxury - of “majesty” as Phil puts it - without ever receiving a single vote. And they believe they “deserve” it. They’re not elected!!! No one in the press corps ever calls out this lout.

I guess if you can't afford ~$500 you can't exercise your right to defend yourself!
There was a segment on GFH radio yesterday where Sandy and Anthony commented on NJ people caving in and going along with unconstitutional things in this state. Well, this is just another example. So many now are tripping over themselves to procure their PTC. Before that we were making multiple trips to the local gun shop just to first buy a firearm, wait for the NICS to clear, then go back to the store to pick it up! When did it change from buy a gun and wait for NJSP NICS to clear you in fifteen minutes? And if you want some ammo now with that purchase, you must pay an additional $1.50 so your info is logged accordingly with the NJSP. WTF! For me this is a hard pass. I’ll wait til I move to a constitutional carry state, where the color of the ink isn’t a criteria on an concealed carry application. The

I see Phil Dunston Murphy is sporting his new coiffure. He must have his sights set on a higher office. Signing this bill will certainly gain him more national exposure. He’s got to do something to compete with Sir Gavin the Handsome on the West coast.

The same people who check your magazines at the range or check your muzzle brake to ensure it’s pinned & welded and ensure their bulbous pinky can’t penetrate the muzzle. I hear the State has hired another 87,000 armed checkers to perform these mundane tasks.
