IIRC the statute says possession of daggers, knuckles, switchblades and other things are a crime without "an explainable lawful purpose". To me a collection is an explainable lawful purpose. I've seen enough of your stuff to convince me you're a collector. If you have them in your collection and only take them out for knife and militaria shows that would seem okay to me. If you got caught carrying them on your belt I don't think that would qualify. That's my take but I'm sure other wouldn't agree with me.

Hoppes #9 for cleaning and CLP as lube and protectorant. G96 is old technology but still a good all purpose c & l & p. The only thing I use grease on is Garands and that's Mobil 1.

Early 90s they were still selling guns. I think it was mid 90s but it might be later.

My comment about neurosurgeons was sarcasm. Your comment about cops qualifications is woefully lacking. Like the critics in this thread there is a lot of info lacking in your statement. Being that you don't see cops telling people how to be construction workers, mechanics, IT specialists or whatever. There is a lot more to being a cop than what you've stated. The call to do what was done in the OP was not done by someone with a couple of years on thejob.

You're making your judgement based on the info in the article but only picking out what you want to support your opinion. First of all, he was convicted on several felonies not overtime parking. I've seen people threaten to shoot it out with police for a lot less. His failure to appear is indicative he wasn't showing up on his own. None of us is aware of what information the police received as far as him staying there. It was more than "they heard" as a judge felt it constituted enough to issue a search warrant. BTW with only an arrest warrant police can break down the door of your residence if they're pretty sure your're there and search for you. They can also seize any contraband or evidence they find in plain view. Did the police overreact or were their actions justified? You really can't say unless you're privy to all of the information they received regarding he was there and what else was said. Do you have any idea of how many "man with a gun" calls police get that don't pan out and never make the news. The idea of just putting two plainclothes cops in the area probably wouldn't work. If this is in the ghetto as was mentioned, everyone there, good and bad, knows who and what cars belong there. It never ceases to amaze me how many people on gun forums, no matter what their trade or profession, know how the police should be doing their job. Is there a forum for neurosurgeons where cops can tell them how to do their job?

Ever had a guy pull a gun on you on a busy street? What would you do? If you saw the videos of this shooting the cops came around the corner and the shooter was there. You fail to mention (as does your link) that it was determined the rounds that hit bystanders were ones that had already gone through the shooter.

You, me, and some others understand that but many don't.

What's the rest of the story?

No need to apologize. There any many on this forum that are so paranoid they think cops are following them to the range so they can make an arrest when you stop to pee, buy gas, or pull someone from a burning car. NJSP has a record of any handgun that was acquired on a P2P or voluntarily registerd. There are thousands of handguns that were purchased when the owner resided out of state, inherited, or acquired legally by other means. I met someone who has a S&W Military and Police their Great-Grandfather carried as a Prohibition Agent in the 1920s. Someone else has a 1911 their Grandfather carried in WWI. These guns are on their 2nd or 3rd inheritance. There is no record for either of these.

You're not going wrong getting a G19.

I wouldn't worry which gun to grab. There's too much overthinking this.

Me too.

DoD yes. Most LE agencies just destroy them. I know of some seized new FA AKs that went to the JFK Center at Ft Bragg.

Using a castle nut or other special fastener on a firearm is not a new idea. A M1 carbine requires a special wrench to remove the gas piston. Other weapons also require special tools. As henrym said once its in and staked there is no reason to fool with it. That's the reason for special tools. Have used M16s, ARs, and M4s in the military and as a LEO since 1968. Never carried a wrench around. The company armorer would have one.

What is this rifle to be used for?

NYPD destroys all the guns they seize, bought, or otherwise when there is no longer any use for them. Last I knew they took them out in deep water, someone read off the serial number, somebody else checked it off the list, and it went in several hundred feet of water. There is only one gun that I know of saved from that fate. It was a rare SAA Colt that had been seized worth a lot (like $100k or something like that). The NYPD firearms guys recognized this and the brass told them to destroy it anyway. Someone made a phone call to some gun organization. US Marshals showed up with a seizure warrant issued by a judge due to its historic signifigance and saved the gun. Even if its sitting in storage at the Smithsonian that's a much better place for it. Most LE agencies destroy guns they or any other agency have no use for. I know of one Fed LE agency that used to sell their guns to FFLs. One of their guns was used by someone to commit suicide. Someone figured out where the gun came from and the press published "man uses gun from Fed agency to commit suicide". Agencies don't want bad press.

There are several options on the Medicare website. I think if he in more than 90 days past his 65th birthday he needs to apply at a SS office.

The RPO permit came out in NJ before LEOSA. I think its the same for regular carry permits.

I wouldn't say prosecutors are lazy. Most in NJ are pretty busy. That's the reason there are so many plea bargains and things like PTI. Otherwise, the court system would be backed up for years. IF this were a violation it doesn't serve any purpose of justice to prosecute such a case. A lot of people talk about jury nullification but prosecutor nullification is much more common.

For RPO permit same course LEOs shoot. Same target. 60 rds and you need 80%. 50 rd course for 5 shot guns. Also 40 rds reduced light.

The reason there is no case on the books is because people don't get charged with using someone else's firearm if its a good shoot. Prosecuting someone under such circumstances is not a case prosecutors want to deal with. A prosecutor does not want to see in the papers, "Mrs Jones saved the her life and her children's when she used Mr Jones handgun to shoot a chainsaw wielding killer who cut his way through their frontdoor. The suspect was (enter whatever disposition you want). When Mr Jones arrived home both he andMrs Jones were arrested for an illegal firearms transfer. They are being held on $20,000 bond."

He needs to look into Medicare. There are several different programs.

I think the gunrunners are buying SKSs capable of taking AK mags and able to sell a gun with the mag capacity of an AK. I don't think they're confusing an AK with a SKS. I think they don't know a flash surpressor has nothing to do with preventing detection by concealing the flash or hiding a smoke signature.

SAAMI spec for 9mm Parabellum is 35,000 psi and NATO is 36,500. +P goes as high as 38,500 IIRC. If you're using the NATO ammo in a military handgun (M9, Glock, SIG, etc) you really don't have to be concerned.

The guy at Sportsman's Den in Nogales who was supposed to see the grass went to the "right" guy is also in trobule. Smuggling drugs in commercial shipments is not a new idea. Cars, coffee, produce, flowers, canned goods, lumber, or just about anything you can think of has been used to smuggle drugs with or the shipper and/or the consignee's knowledge.
