I don't know why all this stopping at a range stuff is suggested. I have flown numerous times from Newark and JFK and checked a handgun. I have never had to deal with PAPD anytime.

I have some resources I'll research for you.

There's nothing flimsy or unreliable about the G17 or M9. You can't go wrong with either. You just need to decide what features you want. I have had both, shoot both well, and can feel okay with either. If I could only pick one I'd pick....the G19. You need to be satisfied with factory 10 rd mags or 17 rd mags pinned to 15. Get a G19 and you can buy all the factory 15 rd mags you want.

I agree with you on pinned telescoping stocks. They, along with 15/30 magazines and having to have a muzzle break that looks like a flash surpressor are all for "the look" IMO. I'm familiar with the technique of mortaring however I've never had to do it myself or seen anyone have to do it. I've been shooting the AR platform since 1968 and have seen literally millions of rounds go down range out of them but never saw anyone have to mortar to unstuck a bolt. Someone must be doing something wrong out there.

Okay

This is an example off why gun owners need to give more consideration to what and who they support. If Brian Aiken didn't say something that worried his mother he wouldn't have gotten in trouble. If Pantaleon (sp?) left his hi cap magazines and AR in Pennsylvania he wouldn't have gotten in trouble. Yes, New Jersey gun laws are stupid, but getting yourself arrested is no way to change them. Aiken beat the possession charge because he didn't get a fair trial. Pantaleon got off because of a bad search. So much for the Constitution being dead. Bad analogy. If you wanted to pray at your table, I'm sure they wouldn't stop you. If you wanted to lead the entire restaurant in prayer they would be in their rights to stop you.

Better yet eliminate the permit system. It has to cost the local PD at least $30-50 to process your permit and they only collect $2. You would need a FID to buy a handgun and pay say a $10 handgun registration fee in addition to NICS. The state would have to do nothing but cash the check for the registration fees collected by FFLs. Not that I'm for registration but being they do anyway it just makes it easier.

Or 20 guys send one instructor to be certified by Texas. He comes back and gives all the guys who kicked in the TX CCW course. Cheaper and easier for everyone.

You need a 4" 357 revolver. L frame or GP100. Best do it all handgun IMO.

True but as the guy in the video says its "more of a gimmick than a technique".

I've made no mods. The 26 I carry still has the NY1 8 lb trigger in it I was required to have when I was still on the job. If you're a good shooter I don't find it much of a handicap. The factory installed night sights are getting dimmer and will be replaced soon.

Later versions of the P1/P38 had a hex bolt that was supposed to strengthen the alloy frame. Not sure what year they started this. I have a P1 made in 1988 that has it. The hex bolt apparently fixed problem as production continued until 2000 I believe. My P1 feeds anything you give it. This is not the usual case as was mentioned. The pistol gained some notoriety when they used customized short barrel versions on the TV show "The Man from U.N.C.L.E.". SARCO had the actual guns used in the series for sale back in the 70s. While it didnt create the shortage that "Dirty Harry" did for S&W Model 29s for years, Walther did make a P38K short barrel like the "U.N.C.L.E" gun for a few years. I got my P1 6 or 7 years ago with 3 mags, a military holster, cleaning kit, and manual all brand new in a bag for $299. Haven't seen them for sale like that since. There is one caution if you buy a late war gun. I've read that the safeties weren't properly heat treated (or something like that) and the gun can discharge when you put the safety on and drop the hammer. I don't know how common this is but its something to keep in mind.

I agree the number looks inflated. However active LEO do not need a permit. They are covered by statute. LEO can't get a permit AKAIK.

Exactly. Totally their option.

Read the law you posted. It says a " valid license for that firearm. Your NJ FID has nothing to do with handguns. Based on the fact PA recognizes permits from all states for carry in a vehicle, I would think a non resident permit from another state would cover you in the car. Not sure though.

Most police departments will extend your permit for an additional 90 days. That's an addtional 90 days from the issue date. They will do this usually even if your permit has expired for a week or more. The police department is doing you a favor by renewing your permit if it expired in April. Say thank you and leave. They don't have to extend your permit at all.

If you're talking 15/30s vs a 10 rd magazine I agree. A 15/20 on the other hand gives you plenty to grab onto and its easier to block a 20 to 15 than to build an only 15. I don't care for that extra length that doesn't do anything on a 15/30. A 15/20 is more compact. If you buy the right ammo pouches you can carry 15/20s with no problem. I'm not condemning true 30 rd magazines but have always had a few 20 rd mags with me in the military and as a LEO. I don't think 20s are much of a disadvantage in a real fight. I got through one war with 20s and seemed to have made out okay. The enemy had 30s.

The responses to this post prove my point that to many people its all about "the look". That encompasses pinned folding stocks, muzzle brakes that look like a flash suppressor, and 15/30 magazines. To many "the look" is way more important than an AR's most important feature and that is its semi automatic.

How long does it take for you to go through 12,000 rounds of 22? Panic buying helps fuel the shortages and price fluctuation.

Do you think she'd let the truth interfere with her agenda?

Yes, as the law is currently written IIRC.

A lot of people forget Nappen is an attorney. He does that for a living. If you pay him to argue something for you he will do so no matter how futile, hopeless or ridiculous it is. I'm not saying he isn't a good attorney but you can only do what you can in a situation. I think SCOTUS refused to hear the Drake case as its more a 10 A issue.

When I started on the police department the model 15 was what all the genuine (and make believe) pistoleros carried. A friend of mine had a 2" he won a lot of "snub nose" matches with.

Rear sight screw was relocated on the -3. Diamond grips were gone in 1968.

Most national carry proposals I've seen require a resident to have a permit from their state of residency to carry there. An out of state non resident permit won't do. Establishing some phony baloney rent a room address in another state is bound to create problems for you. Same with using a FID with an address you no longer live. Currently the only places New Jersey restricts carry by statute to those with permits is schools and courthouses. If a national carry reciprocity law went to affect, New Jersey would undoubtedly add a bunch of other places where carry was restricted. While I am not a fan of required training to get a carry permit, I am a fan of training. A CCW course should be 20 -40 hrs to be of real value IMO.
