Without looking it up evil feature on semi auto shotguns are pistol grip, folding or telescopic stock, and over 6 rd capacity and you're allowed one. That would make it legal in NJ if all it has is the pistol grip.

Mags unloaded ammo in factory or similar box.

Use blue Loc-tite on something you want to be able to take apart easily. You don't need to use it but it helps keep things tight.

I have mounted a few dozen scopes in my time. Never used a vice or a boresight. Loc-tite the screws. Maybe used a larger than what some would consider normal backing on a target frame to see the strike of the rounds to get on target. Maybe I've just been lucky.

NJ budget issues were the big item in the election for governor in 1989. However, Florios's first mission was to whisk the AWB in NJ which went into effect just over 4 months after he took office.

I agree with letting officers carry a sidearm at all times but would also extend this to Senior NCOs as well. There would be some logistic problems with this as not all Officers and few Senior NCOs have pistols issued. Whatever problems there would be would be much less than having another shooting with several dead bodies at an installation.

The issue is one that has been discussed before. Most people who are on medications will never hurt anyone. The problem is those people that need to be institutionalized are only given meds.

Get a 4" 357 the best do it all handgun made. You also need to shoot that J frame unless its being collected.

I also can't see why one would want a pocket gun to carry in the house. Concealment is not an issue. You could carry a pair of SAAs in quick draw holsters at home if you want. Realistically, a Glock 19 would serve your need and many more.

That stems from when Norinco submitted a SKS to ATF for approval without a bayonet. ATF ok'd it and Norinco imported these SKSs with a bayonet. ATF noticed this eventually and stopped the importation of these Chinese SKS with a bayonet. They didn't round up those that had already been sold. They are still out there being bought and sold. Importation of rifles from China was stopped over 20 years ago. If this bothers you just don't buy a Chinese SKS with a bayonet. It doesn't bother most buyers.

Best all around 9mm made.

SKS with detachable magazines are illegal by themselves in NJ with or without bayonet. There is only one issue in the NJ AWB that applies to any semi auto rifle with a fixed mag. Can't have more than a 15 rd capacity. Any semi auto rifle with a fixed magazine less than 15 rds can have all the evil features (bayonet stud. flash surpressor, folding stock, et al) including a SKS.

Kaiser, I've been shooting seriously for over 45 years. There is always more to learn.

Henry prices are a bit lower than Winchester and they are a high quality firearm. I don't know anything about the new Marlins but I do have two older ones made in the 80s and 90s, a 1894 in 44 mag and a 336 in 30-30. Rounds going off in the mag tube is a result of using pointed or fmj bullets instead of a flat point bullet like all manufacturers and loading manuals tell you to. This is not a phenomenon unique to Marlins but can happen in any tube fed magazine. Rossis are cheaper than other guns but to my experience they are a quality firearm. I have a Rio Grande in 30-30 and R92 in 357. These have become my favorite centerfire lever guns that I'm going to sell the 1894 and 336 Marlins. OAL is probably the biggest factor in feeding with too long much worse than too short. My Rossi 357 feeds all 357s and 38s I have fed it but it does have a problem feeding 38 wadcutters. I don't consider this to be much of a problem. Nothing beats a Henry in 22 AFAIC. I got mine very slightly used for like $200 a couple of years ago.

I would go Taurus from the choices you gave. Look at Rossi too. I have two Taurus 357s, one for over 25 years, and zero issues with either. I have carried it as a SD gun and would not hesitate to do so in the future.

BTW, "Assault Weapon" was a term made up by gun manufacturers and gun writers back in the 80s.

Because they are not marked AR, AK, or M14. "M1 carbine type" is how they are referred to in the law. If the law said "AR type" they all would be illegal.

I have a NJ Retired Police Officer Permit and am qualified to carry under LEOSA. However, I never have been asked for or presented any ID other than my driver's license when declaring the gun in my checked baggage. That's at any airport including Newark, La Guardia, or JFK. Never had any police called over anywhere. That includes O'Hare before the Heller and McDonald decisions. O'Hare was the only place the ticketing agent asked to see the gun was unloaded.

When I was still working (Federal LEO) I always carried my gun on the plane (with proper notifications). Those were the only times I encountered a PAPD officer at Newark, JFK, or La Guardia. Since I retired (2005) I have always flown with a handgun in my checked baggage from those airports (if my destination was in the US) and never have had to do anything but sign the form, put the tag in m baggage, and wait for TSA to clear the bag.

There are 16" barrels out there.

You can also have nothing of the end of the barrel. I realize many feel you have to have something there and mount a compensator. AFAIC a 223/5.56 AR doesn't need anything to tame the recoil. I can see no reason to shoot any rifle indoors other than a function check.

okay

I have a Pardner Pump and it works well. I've had no issues with it. Scrap, could you share your rationale why Chinese is no good and Russian is okay?

I always do that with a new shooter. I learned that from an instructor at the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center. He called it the "Barney Fife Drill" and would start with gun in holster and one round in the shirt pocket. Before you take your GF to the range sit down with her and explain how each gun works. My wife didn't like the possibility of her thumb getting caught by the slide and the brass ejecting. She liked my Model 10 S&W and it became hers. She's the same size as your GF and recoil wirh std velocity loads was not an issue.

Not the 15 rd magazines. Its a 15 rd magazine, nothing illegal about that. If you have a M1 carbine and registered it when you could I believe you can have the 30 rd mags if you use the rifle in competition.
