IMO you both are correct. The guy Fish shot was unarmed and shot with hollowpoints. However, this case proves my point. If the prosecutor ever gets to the point he's bringing up what kind of ammo you used, you are already in much more serious trobule than your choice of ammo. The plantiff in a civil case will most assuredly bring up your ammo selection to bring the preponderance of evidence to the 50.001% in their favor. The big issue in a civil case, as has been noted, is did you "justifiably" kill the other guy. Even being found not guilty in a criminal trial has some bearing on a civil trial. Remember OJ? Not being indicted and not standing trial at all is to your benefit in a civil case.

You can carry all the non-hollowpoint ammo in your car anywhere you want, any time you want, if there is no firearm in your vehicle. Common sense would dictate that you just don't throw it on the front seat in plain view as that might create questions if you are stopped. You wouldn't be breaking any law but you probably want to avoid creating any issues. Put it in a bag or box in the trunk.

Thanx Bob, didn't realize it was alternate spelling. Must have been a grammar school teacher who insisted it had to be her way. You are correct that blue was much more popular. Being harder to refinish, the only way I've seen it done correctly is at the factory. Thanx for the spelling lesson:)

Federal COs are caught in a unique situation. LEOSA covers them for carring off duty. Their agency policy (if I'm correct) doesn't normally cover them for off duty carry. Other Federal agencies like FBI, DEA, Secret Service, HSI, CBP, etc. have policies regarding off duty carry. As long as someone from one of these agencies is carrying within the scope of their agency's policies things like hollowpoints and magazine capacities are not encumbered by any state law. A Federal CO has to depend on LEOSA for off duty carry. LEOSA permits you to carry a handgun of "the same type of action" you qualified with. If you are an active LEO you only need to carry your ID and not the qualification record retired guys need. Hollowpoints are also permitted under LEOSA. I seriously doubt anyone is goimg to check your ammo once you've identified yourself. If you get in a shooting situation LEOSA will cover you for the ammo as it trumps state law. There may be a hassle before this prevails however. I understand your reservations about your agency backing you which would normally happen to some degree if they had an off duty carry policy. I would plan on no backing if they are without a policy. If I were you I would do whatever you feel comfortable with. I'd say the average cop is better versed in LEOSA than you think. He or she wants to be aware of what they can do out of state.

No problem. Glad that i can help. My first revolver was a 2" Model 10 I bought from a guy in Vietnam for $40 IIRC. More than once I've gotten a gun that was sitting around for some time and found what I thought to be rust inside. Its usually dried up oil. Grease will congeal faster and attract all kinds of gunk. If you lube with a synthetic like Break Free it doesn't congeal and a drop or two when you clean it keeps the lube fresh. Thats way too much for an average Model 10. Rarity of variants (the way I see it) are: Model 10: 4" HB, 3" HB, 4" pencil barrel, 2", 6", and 5" Any nickle (not nickel, that's 5 cents) plated gun in good shape is pretty rare. Before stainless it wasn't just pimps who bought nickle plated guns but guys who had their guns exposed to elements on a regular basis. A nice nickle plated Model 10 would be worth $400 imo. Model 13 and 65: 4"HB, 3" HB. Good deal as you get a 357. Model 64: 4" HB, 3" HB, 4" Pencil Barrel (only made in 1972), and 2". I had a 2" which I let go long ago and still regret it.

Really nic shape. You got a great deal.

If you take the side plate off, flush it with Gunscrubber, and everything looks okay there's no need to tale it completely apart. Just lube put the sideplate back on.

Don't use grease to lube the innards of revolver. Flush out the guts with Gunscrubber, let dry, then lube with Break Free or something similar.

All correct info but there's another option if you want to buy a long gun from a non-FFL. Find a FFL who will do the transfer at the show. Seller brings the gun to the FFLs table, the FFL takes possession and transfers it to you at the show so you can take it home. I've never done this but have seen it done.

Good price for a nice 10. Everyone needs at least one. My old PD Model 10 became my wifes favorite gun.

IIRC the hollowpoint issue of home to home was not an issue in the Aitken trial as the judge didn't inform the jury of the home to home firearm transport exemption. That was one of the issues of his appeal. Not that this changes anything as far as the home to home transport is not one of the exemptions granted by the state. The Aitken case is only an example of his stupidity, as has been discussed at great lenght in the past.

Why swap anything if you don't have to?

It makes no difference under NJ law. A semi with a detachable magazine with 2,3,4, or 5 evil features is an AW. Take away the detachable mag and you could have them all.

It wouldn't fit the descriotion of substantially identical. You would have to be sure its 922r compliant for federal law. For example, Yugo SKSs were being sold in NJ with the grenade launcher and bayonet two evil features. Legal because it has a fixed magazine.

I think some state (CA?) had a ruling saying a loaded magazine is a "loaded weapon". Nappen has regurgitated this and many are repeating this as law. A loaded magazine has not been ruled a "loaded firearm" in NJ.

Not exactly correct. The detachable magazine isn't an evil feature. Read the law posted by ChrisJM981. A semi auto with a detachable magazine and 2 of the 5 evil features. If a semi auto doesn't have a detachable magazine (think SKS) you can add all the evil features.

NJFID would allow you to buy long guns and ammo in NJ. Would also allow you to carry unloaded long gun in your trunk any time.

You can keep your handgun as long as its your residence in NJ . Home to home transport would be okay. You can't buy pistol ammo in NJ without a NJFID. To bring hollowpoints legally you would have to leave your PA residence, stop in PA to buy the ammo, then proceed to your NJ residence. This would be place of purchase to home exemption for hollowpoints. Don't go to JCPD or any other for that matter. You don't know who you'll get.

I agree. It may add one more thing to be checked out. suRrEal.NJ, remember its not just getting your employer's permission to carry but that you NEED to carry. This would most likely require a job title change to something like security, SORA training, raising his insurance rates, and his lease agreement come into play. That's a lot for you to be able to carry a gun there. The type of store would also come into consideration if your employer were willing to do all he has to. A jewelery store, you stand a good chance of getting it. Sunglasses or cell phones, probably not. Many malls are already posted just not conspicuously as there are so few carry permits issued in this state.

I bought a Danish Garand (SA) at CMP in Ohio as few years ago. VAR barrel (gauged 2 at each end) , Danish crown cartouche stock, and a lot of Beretta parts. The metal shows some wear and the stock as I bought it was good/very good. I cleaned up the stock to very good condition. It was a field grade so I only paid $495 at the time. It is my best shooting Garand. Shoots 2-2 1/2" 2 100 if i do my part with HXP ammo. VAR, Beretta, and Brescia made Garands and/or parts and all are quality. Just as good and in some cases better than US manufacture. I'm not a serious Grand collector but I see foreign made as another niche in Garand collecting.

You will need to shoot the NJ qual course.

Pretty much listed on page 2. Note you must qualify and turn that paperwork in with your application. I think Gun for Hire can do the qualification.

Full info and forms on NJSP.Org I believe.

Anything in public view is okay to record. How you use it might create legal issues. Voive recording and notification varies from state to state.

You are correct although its currently being replaced with the H&K G36. Bermuda was the only country to use it as a standard issue military rifle. Outside of training the only overseas deployment for the Bermuda Regiment I found was to Barbados in 2007 for the Cricket World Cup. There were some Mini 14s used during the war in Bosnia back in the 90s. Not any great number and I suspect they got there through some illicit arms deal. I've always had one since about 1975. It is what it is and to me that's an updated M1 carbine in a better caliber. The LE agency i worked for used them for several years and I found them to be reliable and durable.
