If you are so concerned about transporting hollowpoints to your place of business just use non-expanding ammo.

You are overthinking the idea I was trying to get across. There are people on this forum who think am assailant has to be armed for them to use any kind of weapon. That's not the case, even in NJ. I went to extremes in my examples. I don't think Chuck Norris would have a problem handling the assault in the video without using a weapon. Most of us on this forum wouldn't be able to handle it without using a weapon regardless of their MMA, Krav Maga, or other fashionable fighting experience. You threw the 10 yr old with a bat into the mix. You gave the assailant a weapon and that changes things. However, most people, including cops, would be reluctant to shoot a 10 yr old no matter how much justification they had. The point I was trying to make is many people here believe that if your assailant is not armed there is no justification for you to use a weapon. That is not so even in NJ. You don't have the right to use whatever lethal force you feel required. You have the right to use what the law allows. I said you would probably be justified shooting one of your attackers. If the others took off after that that would be the end of you shooting. That is anywhere not only in NJ. It seems to me many here who want to carry need to learn to recognize what is a lethal force justification. If they don't learn they will probably die with their gun in their holster when they could have used it to save their life. If you can physically defend yourself from death you shouldn't be huddled up on the ground. You should be fighting. If you can't you need to do what you need to do. Having the ability to CCW is one thing. Knowing when you can use that gun is another. You really don't get enough in a 4-6 hr CCW class.

Easier and cheaper to replace the entire rifle. I have a 795 and it's a great inexpensive rifle. IIRC they are made in Brazil. Marlin probably has limited facilities to work on them in the US.

I have seen S&W make a new gun with the old serial number in the past. Don't know if they still do that.

Why don't you buy some hollowpoints and go directly from place of purchase to your business and leave them there.

The FFL needs to record the make, model, serial number, and where he got the firearm within a certain time period. Unless you get there within that time period he has to do #1. Thats been done every time the gun goes from a manufacturer to distributor to dealer to dealer.

Disparity of force. No difference if they are armed or unarmed. You need to articulate why you were in fear of your life or serious injury. You might be justified in shooting one of your assailants. Each use of deadly force situition is judged on its own merits. The situation presented in the video doesn't justify Chuck Norris using a firearm. If you're in your 60s with arthritis, a heart condition, and emphysema you probably would be. Very few use of deadly force situations are black and white. Most fall some where in the grey.

Welcome. I've been a fan of the Avengers and moreso Emma Peel for years. I'm sure you will add a bit more class to the forum.

I liked IV,V, and VI. Didn't care much for I, II, and III. Liked VII. VIII is due out May 2017.

You're not over thinking it. A round or two indoors will give you the experience and some hearing loss. That hearing loss may not he measurable. Repeated exposure would create problems. I know.

I have been in more than a few situations where a firearm was discharged indoors or extended shooting outside without hearing protection. I am not deaf but have hearing loss in both ears. It is what it is and I'm alive. I don't know what to say about those who state they would be putting on their hearing protection while someone is kicking in their front door. They must be extremely composed in stressful situations. I have never heard of anyone going permanently deaf from a few shots fired indoors.

Google MG42 dummy receiver. Multiple sources.

T Bill is correct on this one. Generally, the more accurate loads are usually under max loads. Don't jeopardize your rifle or yourself for a couple of hundred feet per second. I have several Garands and gas operated 7.62 NATO rifles. I also have bolt guns in the same calibers. My 30-06 loads are all safe to use in my Garands and 308 loads safe for my gas operated guns in that caliber. Yes, I could squeeze some more fps from those loads and a bit more accuracy for my bolt guns but I'm happy the way things are. I dont have to worry about what ammo to use in what rifle. The ammo shoots well in all of them. I know some guys who work up loads for each rifle they have. Once you get 5 or 6 rifles in the same caliber this becomes somewhat of a logistical nightmare. Worry about accuracy and safety first not fps.

The ATF form is a federal requirement. Has nothing to do with state law.

Back in the 80s gangbangers were spray painting their TEC 9s orange, yellow, and green to make them look like toy guns. These new regs accomplish nothing.

PBA is a qualifying law enforcement organization as far as CMP is concerned. If you're a member you don't have to join anything else

Retired LEO permits have to be renewed annually. I'm sure there are more than 450 retired LEOs in NJ with carry permits.

I'm pretty sure the figure of 450 or so permits issued does not include retired LEOs.

FWIW, retired LEOs don't go through the same process through their PD and a judge. They apply and renew directly through the NJSP. See NJSP website for all the details.

Some charges will be dropped if he pleas.

A 4" 357 mag. Best all around handgun IMO.

I know the NJSP only want you'd fingerprints once. The local PD has the option of printing you every time you apply IIRC. Most don't.

A flash surpressor is just one of the evil features. You can have a flash surpressor in NJ on a SA magazine fed rifle if that's the only evil feature. If that's a flash surpressor on the gun in the photo with a pistol grip the answer is no.

I belong to several 2A organizations already. When the NJ2AS was started it seemed to have the makings of look at me fan boy club. I'm waiting to see how the current iteration works out.

If you're looking for a shooter or something to build on you'd be better off getting a currently available commercial 1911. If you customize it it will lose value. The ones they will be selling are original GI guns. We will see what condition they are when released. They will be priced accordingly.
