BTW licenses are free for members of the NJ National Guard and. disabled veterans. Many are unaware of this.

Hollowpoints can be legal or illegal depending on where they are possessed. Legal in NJ for you to walk around with a pair of nickel plated Colt SAAs in a double holster rig in your house. Not so if you do the same at your local supermarket.

Based on the number of people prosecuted (zero) for trading hollowpoint ammunition at a non-exempt location I wouldn't think there was much to worry about. However I agree with you that the trade be done at an exempt location to fit the letter of the law.

Not surprised whatsoever. USPSA is a game. People will cheat at any game. Some more than others. Ever watch a Pop Warner football game? Watch some of the coaches. I'd swear they were playing the Superbowl and the game was worth millions of dollars to them.

A brake that diverts the muzzle blast to the sides actually it less comfortable to the people to your left and right.

There are no cases on constructive possession under NJ AS law I know of. There are a few ways I think you could get around it but you're better off having it shipped to a FFL.

I would be happy with that rifle as it is. 5.56 doesn't recoil much and most rifles I've shot with a brake or with compensator didnt really feel that much different. If you use it in competition, you are at the top of the game, and you have a compensator that works well it will cut a little bit of time off a string. One issue many overlook in fitting a compensatory is using it in a low light SD situation. The muzzle flash with a plain muzzle is kind of like an elongated teardrop. A compensator or brake diverts that flash up and to the sides giving that muzzle flash a much wider base. This can be disturbing to many shooters as muzzle blast usually bothers people more than recoil. Of course this is only an issue in low light. AFAIC resale value can also be an issue. I would guess a 516 with a plain barrel would be an easier sell and worth more than one with one with a compensator no matter how good it is.

As much as I'd like to see this it looks like its just fulfilling a campaign promise, "if I get elected I will introduce a bill to.... ". If you want to get behind something, get behind a few of the things in it that might pass. This bill, as written stands zero chance of passing. There are some proposals in it I think ridiculous.

If he is renting the apt he can bring his long guns to his NJ apt under the moving exemption. Straight to the apartment with only reasonable deviations. He could do the same with a handgun. Without a FID he is limited to directly to his other residence, range, hunting, etc. If there is a no firearms clause in his lease thats a civil matter not criminal. Alpo, you need to read a little more in the statute to see the transportation exemptions if you don't have a FID.

Then why were you going to call NJSP as you stated in your OP? If you are doing it outside NJ you need to check the law there. They may not see "fundraiser" and raffle the same way you do.

You need a permit from the NJ Legalized Games of Chance Commission if you want to keep it all legit.

As far as calling 911 first to get an ambulance there quicker just remember you're also giving the dog an extra 15-30 seconds to do more damage. Better to stop the attack as soon as possible. I can't understand why some think you will be charged with something no matter what the outcome. Yes, if you run out of the house blasting away with your Glock you might becharged with something like reckless endangerment. Most certainly if the victim or a bystander is injured. I can't see anyway you'd be charged with animal cruelty for attacking a dog that's eating a kid. I seriously doubt someone can show me where this happened. If you kill the dog using a firearm and no one gets hurt as a result the concern appears being charged with firearms possession and discharge laws. No one has mentioned this so I guess I will. Exigent circumstances permit one to break a variety of laws and get away with it. If your spouse were being knifed across the street from your house do you really think you are going to be charged if you go out there with a handgun? You really think a prosecutor is going to pursue such a case? The CCW instructor cautioning students about using their gun to save someone else would be wrong if he or she didn't caution you about this. Too many people think a CCW makes them a cop and they're not. Using your firearm to aid someone else is something that depends greatly on your assessment and judgement of the situation. It also depends on what your conscience will let you live with.

Your selective capitalization really doesn't add anything. Okay, I never said you said wrong way. I used wrong way to describe the way its been done for years. You really need to look up the definition of "correct". Properly fitted 1911 covers a broad spectrum from a $400 1911 that functions well and is reasonably accurate up to multi-thousand dollar guns. If you think you're saving the bushing a lot of wear doing it your way, how much wear do you think you're putting on it firing off a box of hardball? Hardly seems you are saving it that much wear your way. You do not have to educate me on how tight a mil spec 1911 is. Please don't act like I have no idea what I'm talking about. I used them for years and several times on social occasions. I don't know where you got the idea I was making assumptions. The first line of your post #7 is, "You do NOT need a bushing wrench to field strip a 1911, no matter how tight it is." You made sure to emphasize "NOT", Then in post #10, "I have a Springfield Professional model, which was extremely tight as delivered by the Custom Shop. Not only was it virtually impossible to turn the bushing by hand, but even racking the slide was very difficult. So which is it? You also say, "use the wrench when the barrel is sticking well past the bushing" How do you do that if you have a FLGR? Doesn't the guide rod get in the way? Even with a standard recoil spring guide it sounds like that's a formula to give that spring extra oomph if your hand slips.

I realize I'm not Larry Vickers but what you describe is another way to remove the slide from a 1911 not the "correct" way. I don't think the military or Colt was teaching the "wrong" way until the way you describe was developed. I learned the "wrong" way from the Army in 1967. I can guarantee you the Army taught Larry Vickers the "wrong" way when he attended Infantry AIT. The way you describe (which I learned about 20 years ago) is fine but some may have difficulty containing the recoil spring. Neither way is right or wrong. They are just different ways. You've never seen a barrel bushing so tight it required a wrench. I have on some custom 1911s.

If you have a really tight barrel bushing you need a wrench to take it off. As for your second question I can't say what soldiers did in WWII but can relate what was done in Vietnam and later. GI 1911s were not that tight as henrym already mentioned. They didn't use full length guide rods which can also make it difficult. However, you didn't field strip your firearm during combat as you were too busy using shooting it. When you did perform PM on your firearm it was when your unit had stood down. If you were in a dangerous area half the unit cleaned their weapons while the other half remained ready to deal with any threat. I'm pretty sure guys in WWII did the same. Procedures as I described have been used for years.

Lead paint was an issue. More so in older houses that had many layers of paint that would chip easily. The issue was not that kids were hungry but lead tastes sweet. No better way to convince a kid to eat some. The Romans used powdered lead to sweeten wine. No doubt that contributed to some poor decisions that helped the Empire fall. Lead poisoning is a cumulative and proportional thing. You don't burn off the exposure after a few days and children will have problems after a lot less exposure than an adult. There was a thread on this forum some time ago and several members related their experiences with elevated lead levels. If you read this or did a little research on lead poisoning one wouldn't treat this as nonchalantly as throwing up a few sandbags.

The correct answer. The time it takes to make a 911 call may mean the victim goes to the morgue instead of the hospital. Taking time to find the "best" weapon may bring the same result. I would arm myself with whatever was at hand, be it gun, bat, knife, spoon, pot or if need be bare hands. If I were using a gun I would probably use a contact shot across the hindquarters which would certainly get the animal's attention and minimize chances of injuring the victim. For those that worry about being charged with shooting, first thats highly unlikely. Contrary to what many believe the police and prosecutors are not waiting to get someone locked up and convicted for any offense. More importantly, if you lack the moral compass and courage to take action in a situation like this then just call 911 and sit back and see what happens...and live with it. Sometimes you have to do right thing even if it means going to jail for it. Just be sure that you can comfort yourself with the fact you did the right thing while you sit in your cell. Be sure it was worth it. If you can just call 911 and watch please don't cry about not being able to get a carry permit in NJ. You mayhave to watch some old lady get her face smashed into the sidewalk because you don't want to get involved. Better yet, dont own a gun and that minimizes your chances of a gun getting you in trobule

I bought 2 Model 10s and a PP from a private seller with an exemption. Nothing special about any of the guns. Just put collection for reason. Took about 2 weeks.

I have lived 1/4 mile or so from the ocean or the bay for over 20 years. I've had no more issues than when I lived in Jackson. I do about what you do.

Keep in mind a small increase in seating depth causes a more drastic increase in pressure. Adding a few tenths of a grain in a charge of 5 grains not so much.

Deerslayer, being a licensed plumber you know how to use and dispose of lead. Range cleanup is a different issue.

I'm not talking about ignoring the law. I'm talking about what is reasonable. Police would charge everyone who supplied drugs to someone who overdosed if they could find them. Last I knew the policy was not to charge people who overdosed with being under the influence. There is no incentive for the person who overdosed to give up their source. Besides, all many drug users could tell you is I got it from the guy on the corner of Broad and Main from the guy in the blue hat. What did you do to give the cop a hard on for you? Why did he stop you in the first place? Contrary to what many think most cops are not out there to screw with people. That's been discussed frequently. Stopping at Auto Zone to get a new wiper blade so you can safely drive in the rain seems pretty reasonable. If its the drivers side its required by law. What should you do if your car breaks down? Push it home? The law says reasonable not required or necessary as those things are covered by reasonable. There are many things that are reasonable. Carpooling to save gas and ease congestion is reasonable. Stopping to get a coffee or soda is reasonable. Stopping for a few beers is not. If you have long guns and you both have NJFID cards and the guns are properly situated drive anywhere you want.

Places of public accommodation can make their own rules as long as they are not discriminatory based on race, religion, sex, etc. Places can have dress codes, behavior rules, and can say no guns or all guns must be concealed. They can require you to wear a purple shirt and yellow hat if they want as long as it applies to everyone. Comparing property rights to not allowing someone service because of their race or religion is ridiculous.

That would mean permits and that would mean government involvement. My guess with ventilation, certified bullet stop and containment materials, soundproofing, and lead recovery that would cost at least $25-30K before you put one round down range. You would also have to pay for a DEP licensed lead removal firm periodically. There would also be insurance issues.

This is the answer. I have been shooting in NJ for over 45 years. I have never heard of anyone being arrested going to or coming from a range because any deviation from their journey was not reasonable. I challenge anyone to show me a case where someone was arrested for this. Yes, the law is stupid as it is written. I would like to see where in the law it says you have to crap your pants, run out of gas, or can't stop for coffee enroute as all the chicken little people you can be arrested for. All this moaning and bitching enabled the Sweeney crowd to "do us a favor" and write a law defining where you can stop. We were better off with the current law
