What happens if currently owned black rifles are reclassified as NJ assault weapons
When the NJ AWB took effect you had the following options: 1. Keep a M1A, AR, or M1 carbine operational you could register it for $50 or deactivate it for $5 (IIRC the $5). 2. Dispose of it out of state. 3. Move the gun out of state. The issue with the M1A, AR, and M1 Carbine is they are used for high power/service rifle competition. Thats why you could keep them (for $50 registration). IIRC if you use them for high power/service rifle you can keep normal capacity (20 & 30 rd) magazines.

Ruger LCR in 38 Spl +P or .357 Magnum
Honest enough to say it hurt their hand.

Ruger LCR in 38 Spl +P or .357 Magnum
I would suggest looking at the Scandium revolver if you were interested in hurting your hand with each shot. Shooting one with the standard grips is painful even with factory wadcutters. The 442 is popular as the alloy frame keeps cost down. IMO the best j frame size revolvers there are are the S&W 640 or the Ruger SP101. The 640 I'd 24 oz and I've carried it on the belt or in an ankle holster without distress. I could feel if it was there. Those who carry a gun they "don't know it's there" can lose that gun without knowing it. That carried a lot shot little is a strange philosphy. If I might wind up defending my life with a gun that is not the absolute best for the job I want everything in my favor I can put there. Controllablity and accuracy are at the top. I never could understand all these big strong he men who found carrying a 24 oz gun a a burden.

Ruger LCR in 38 Spl +P or .357 Magnum
I would buy the magnum for the extra weight and carry what I do now in J frames, a factory target wadcutters or semi wadcutters. Bullet is already in an efficient shape and is easy on you and your gun. +P 38s and magnums really don't offer a lot more in a short barrel and give a lot more muzzle blast and recoil. Muzzle blast really bothers most people more than recoil. Using what I suggest will give you easier recovery and better accuracy.

Apparently Korean M1s will now be imported (breaking news maybe)
The article says "as low as $220". I would expect a Garand at that price will have a tomato stake barrel, stock good only for firewood, and maybe a usable receiver.

Only one handgun
Really not that much difference in shooting the G17 vs G19 IMO. The 19 is a better all around pistol. m

How to figure out what a rifle is chambered in?
It will probably shoot a 7.62x51 if it's chambered in 7.65x53. The extractor will probably hold the case head for the firing pin to hit the primer. The 7.62 bullet rattling down the 7.65 bore will result in poor, if any, accuracy. The cases will also look very different if they stay in one piece. As noted, a chamber cast and bore slug are called for. You can get what you need to do it from Midway or Brownells.

First couple of pistols
I suggest getting a 4" DA 357. Best all around handgun IMO. There is also the plus that if you learn how to shoot a DA revolver well everything else is easy.

claiming tolls and fuel on taxes
I'll stand by my previous statement. I chose to drive an hour so my kids would be in the right schools. I also had a two hour commute for awhile to work at JFK. I didnt ask to work at JFK but was laterally trasferred there as my employer had offices in Newark, NYC, and JFK. I paid $8 for the Narrows bridge, $3 for Outerbridge, plus GSP. That was in 1989. You do what you have to do in life to get through and not bitch about the government not giving you a break. Maybe the OP needs to rethink if he really needs that diesel truck and maybe should get something more fuel efficient. You do what you have to do.

claiming tolls and fuel on taxes
You choose where you work and where you live.
-
claiming tolls and fuel on taxes
If this is a fixed location where you are going to the work site, doing your work, and coming home that is commuting and you can't deduct commuting expenses. If you are an independent contractor that's different and easier to deduct mileage and tolls.

Hollow point ammo
That was where in NJ?

The Last Real Gun Show in NJ
A friend that grew up in Bergen County told me in the early 60s as a Boy Scout with a Marksmanship Merit Badge he used to strap his 22 rifle to the back of his bicycle, pedal to the police station and pick up the key to the range in the school basement. Many kids used to use the range by themselves.

Is it legal? Survival AR-7
I have owned an AR7 since about 1975. I've owned Armalite, Charter, and now a Henry version. All functioned well for me but the Henry is the best build quality. Old School, what is the basis for you considering a loaded magazine a firearm. No where in the statutes or case law I know of.

HP Ammo for Home Defense
If it gets to what type of bullet you used to shoot an intruder in your home you are already in trobule. Be knowledgeable not familiar with use of force under 2C. Read ALL of the parts of the statute. Many say don't talk to police when they arrive. Remember, you are going to have to make a statement (hopefully before a trial) that you were in fear your life and the lives of your family if you are claiming self defense. If you don't know what to say say nothing. You may stay longer in the process but it will help you. Remember there have been several justifiable shootings in NJ recently and the citizens defending themselves were not led out in chains.

HP Ammo for Home Defense
No grey area, if you are where you can possess it you can use it. People don't understand most laws tell you what you cannot do. You won't find a law in NJ that says you can or cannot use hollowpoints for defense.

The Last Real Gun Show in NJ
I believe the Jersey Shore Antique Arms Collectors had their show at what is now the Hooper Avenue Intermediate School in Toms River. The tables filled the gym. It wasn't once a month but twice a year IIRC. There weren't a lot of gun shows in the 70s in NJ as I would have least known about them. To my experience people generally want too much for what they have at gun shows. The only saving grace is sometimes you find that bargain or that accessory you have been hunting for some time.

S&W Model 60: normal for brass to get stuck?
Is it a new gun? If so if cleaning doesn't do it I'd send it to smith marking the cylinder.
-
S&W Model 60: normal for brass to get stuck?
I've been, shooting all interations of the Model 60s since the late 60s. Cases should not stick more so to the degree you relate. Clean the cylinder well. Hoppes, let soak in for a few minutes, brush with bronze brush, wipe out with patch, repeat until patch comes out clean.

NICS Denial
"The High Road" under "Legal", "How to correct my 4473". He tried the second ti.e after being advised by a FFL to just answer yes. What he has done the second time is commit a technical violation of 18 US 1001, False Statement. This could also result in denial of his lpr status due to the felony violation involving firearms. Neither is likely but if Immigration wants to be difficult they could do so. The OP needs to understand he is not a lpr until he has his green card in his hands. He also needs to contact NJSP and see what they tell him and then decide if he can fix it himself or he needs a lawyer to do so. He needs to contact NJSP as soon as possible to correct this and shouldn't try to buy a gun anywhere until he finds out what they say.

NICS Denial
I told you on the other forum that you are not considered a legal permanent resident (lpr) until immigration gives you your green card. I dont doubt what you say but if immigration has not processed your application and given you the green card you are not yet. I told you to call NJSP, who runs NICS, and explain your situation . I have a feeling by doing what you did NJSP has now put you on a denial list until you straighten this out with them. Before you start throwing money at lawyers contact NJSP and see what they tell you.
