What about when you have a gun in a case or bag? You're muzzle sweeping yourself and others all the time.

I think that's a stupid way to carry a gun as the guy has zero retention and unless that's a security type holster it might fall out. No more dangerous than standing behind someone who's wearing a horizontal shoulder holster or behind someone carrying on a belt holster going up the stairs. If you carry a handgun in a holster you will "muzzle sweep" people all day long. Nothing is going to happen as long as the gun is in the holster.

MIG is pretty easy to teach yourself.

If you put a safe in a friend's house and they did not have access to a key or combination no transfer has taken place. Same as a storage unit. No need for a phony dollar a year lease. No need for a trust.

I know several people who moved their ARs, AKs, and other non-compliant rifles to their summer house in PA. NJ law stops at NJ borders. If you have something that becomes illegal in NJ you can move it to any state where it's legal. On the other hand, say they ban all ARs in NJ. You as a NJ resident won't be able to buy any AR in PA as a NJ resident.

Federal law requires a long gun purchased in another state be compliant with the laws of both states. If your a NJ resident the long gun you buy in PA be compliant with NJ law.

I would think so as you have exclusive use of the storage unit. Don't think I'd want to store guns in a storage unit though.

Not a flea market but when donating to Salvation Army I overheard two employees discussing a piece they had donated One was saying it was for a hammer; the other said it was for a gun. It was an about new Milt Sparks Summer Special for a 2 1/2" K frame. I asked if it was sale. They said yes and told me because it's leather it would cost $1. MSRP was about $90 at the time. I gave them $5. Still use it.

^^^^^ Good advice from Vlad. Each gun is unique to what it shoots the best. Something hit by a plain lead slug will swear it got hit by a Super Duper Xpander Sabot.

A dealer will give you about 50% of what he or she can sell the gun for. Not screwing you. A dealer has to eat too. The advantage of selling to a dealer is you get your money right away but less of it. I've never had a hassle selling a gun privately...except once. I came down in price and the guy still wanted me to throw in about $100 worth of ammo. I told him no and we both went our ways. Selling on this forum is easy compared to Gun broker or one of the other Web sites. What are you selling?

I would think it legal. However, someone will chime in you would have to get rid of your 5.56 ARs.

Arcaglass works well on wood repairs as it flexes a bit just as the wood does. If you use a glue that dries hard it may crack again.

Wings over the Rockies Air Museum. They have a B52 by the front door.

A Broomhandle Mauser weighs about 40 oz. It has a fixed magazine so it doesn't attach outside the pistol grip. It's legal, no evil features.

JackDaWack is correct. The old Marlin Model 60 has a fixed tubular magazine of 17rds is an assault weapon in NJ. IIRC there was a guy convicted in Monmouth County (?) a few years ago for having one. Marlin changed the mag capacity to 15 in newer guns.

I dont much think much about AR and AK pistols at all.

The news in the Freddie Gray incident was that 6 cops were charged...and acquitted.

Keep in mind a story like this is really local news. Events of people using firearms to defend themselves happen daily. I wouldn't expect local news from AZ to get coverage in NY or NJ.

Correct, I was referring to the Federal law requiring contiguous states. I know some states changed their contiguous state law several years after the Federal law was changed.

Or maybe they just ate the tax.

The contiguous state transfer stuff is long gone. I believe the reforms to GCA68 did away with that in 1986. Even when it was in effect if you were a NJ resident you needed a NJ FPID to buy a long gun in NY, PA, or DE. Some states had contiguous state in their state law for some time after 1986.

The father needs a FPID to legally get a rifle in NJ or anywhere else in the US for that matter. Easiest way to do so would be for the father to get his FPID if he doesn't have it already and give him the money to buy the firearm. The 15 year old can't own a firearm until he's 18. No private sales over state lines. A long gun must be transferred at a FFL in any state if buyer and seller don't lI've in the same state.

I think you will do more wear on pins and pin holes by constantly replacing them.

I really question the need to replace pins and springs on a regular basis. I've been shooting nearly 50 years and have never done this. The only gun I know that benefited from a recoil spring change is the S&W 6906. The agency I worked for told us to do this every 3000 rds after the guns had about 7-8000 rounds through them. My Colt Commander bought in 1974 never had anything replaced until after over 25 years and maybe 30,000 plus rounds. That's when the hammer started to fall to half cock. The only parts replaced were the sear, extractor, recoil spring guide and springs. No problems other than falling to half cock but thought the other parts should be replaced as long as it was being rebuilt. I've never replaced springs and pins on any gun routinely. I think the periodically changing spring thing was invented by spring manufacturers. More damage has been done to guns by routinely taking them completely apart than by shooting. Yes, parts can break on a brand new gun. If it makes you feel better go ahead and do it. I've been carrying a gun for over 40 years and been an instructor for about the same time. What could I know?

You can color in the lettering on a firearm with one of the crayons they sell for that purpose, model paint, or nail polish.
