A lot of them are still involved in anti-looting patrols in shore towns.

I agree its not a cop. If this were an "undercover" gun buy the prosecution would need to prove you were predisposed to illegally selling the firearm. This is not the case here. If you offered to sell it to him illegally without him asking anything that would be a different story.

I think they just changed the blackening.

Then he has a FFL to deal in FA weapons?

Tenifer is very tough.

There are some FA guns that are just uncontrollable no matter what you do. There are others that work well. I was required to keep a three rd burst in a 3" circle when I was in MP5 instructors school. Not that hard when you know how and you have the right gun.

Maybe because everyone could see they were toy guns?

Why I DVR most shows.

It helps to fill the void caused by the end of season for "Revolution".

Now that you mention it I do remember hearing about a doctor in South Jersey with NFA weapons. This was from a reliable source in the 90s. I was referring to the true value of the gun not the inflated prices caused in 1986. Prior to this you could buy a STEN for a few hundred dollars. Limiting FA weapons was a comprimise to get FOPA passed. The end result is a perfect example of supply and demand Although I see little true need for FA, even for LE, I can't see why you shouldn't be able to have one. State laws aside, if you meet the criteria for buying a firearm from a FFL you can get a NFA weapon. Shawn, I'd also be interested in what kind of business someone is in to have a legal privately owned FA weapon in NJ. IIRC the applicant has to prove to the judge something like "how the interests of the community would be served" by you owning a FA weapon. If you have an FFL for selling NFA weapons you can "own" them because of the FFL.

Just watched that segment again. He says that herd gets spooked because it lives near a village. Its been shot at a lot so the caribou are educated. He says we usually go for a head or neck shot but can't get that close to that herd (lung shot?). When he administers the coup de grace he comments "as long as it gets meat on the table".

Easy for a Glock. Remove the blackening. The tenifer underneath is silver color.

Thing is in 1934 the $200 tax was out of reach of most people. Today, most people would pay the extra $200 on a $1000-2000 AR to get full auto and SBR. Some states outright restrict all NFA weapons. NJ says you can get a permit for one but in reality no one has one. BTW the application process for a NJ "assault weapon" is the same as applying for a permit for a FA weapon. I can guarantee the $200 doesn't cover the processing cost for a NFA application.

Ideally, you're correct. It just doesn't always work that way in real life however. We don't know what kind of shot she was trying for or where she hit the animal.

Did anyone seriously think the NRA sent it?

Easy to come up with the same old story because its the truth

Ever fire one? I have. They are somewhat controllable but you'd want to carry plenty of ammo.

Don't get me wrong I like the 45 ACP but in FMJ loads it's not that much better than a 9. Having carried both in combat situations I didn't feel undergunned with a 9. You might need those parts. I oversaw several hundred Glocl 17s, 19s and 26s for about 8 years. When you throw out bad magazines (still rare) I can count the times a Glock broke down on my fingers. There are many Glock 9s that have gone several hundred thousand documented rounds with no failures. I can't say the same for 1911s as much as I like them.

I'm sure I haven't seen as much as you but when I was doing a lot of sportdiving and lobstering off NJ I saw sharks of various sizes all the time. As long as they kept moving paid them no mind. Occasionally they would show an interest in me and in those cases I recognized the fact it was a big ocean and I'd leave that piece of it to the shark. Did some spearfishing when I worked in the Keys and you always have barracuda watching you. they don't mean anything by it they are just curious and hoping they can get to the fish you spear before you. Sometimes, I'd spear something and let them have it so they'd leave me alone. If you have a FID and the long gun is transported empty and secured. I don't think that's a problem. It would be the same as if you had it unloaded and secured behind the seat of your pickup. If someone sees an issue with this, discuss. FWIW, I asked a Trooper in the Marine Division about this once in regards to dispatching sharks. He said he wouldn't do anything if you had the proper tackle and bait aboard to fish for shark.

Ear FWIW Eskimos are subsistence hunters. As such, as long as they get meat on the table at the end of the day that's okay with them. Maybe not sporting but they eat. Totally different perspective from an Eskimo's point of view. I've read that after its introduction in the 30s, the 22 Hornet became a popular cartridge with Eskimos as the ammo was cheaper. There aren't many things Eskimos have to convert to cash so the 22 Hornet was used for everything from ptarmigan to polar bear. Yes, polar bear. I remember seeing a show where the guy going for polar bear had an Eskimo guide. He was carrying something like a .375 H&H. The guide had a 22 Hornet which had been his fathers. They made an issue in the show how the husband was the butcher and his wife did the shooting. There may be legal reasons for this. IIRC Eskimos are exempt from most game laws, seasons, limits, the whole shebang. They can also hunt animals like seal, walrus, and whale. The guy on the show is a regular on The High Road.org and goes by the screen name of Caribou. He's been talking about the show.

Straight bolt handle and safety look like a Mosin Nagant.

I was a LEO from 1974 to 2005. I've been able to carry because of LEOSA and have a NJ Retired Police Officer permit. I've been able to carry for almost 40 years now.

I'd say the cheapest 44 spl was about twice as much as the cheapest 38s. No reason to believe this is going to change when ammo prices stabilize. The advantage the 44 in SD use is the bullet is starting out with over 40% more frontal area than a 38. That 44 bullet is starting out at a diameter you hope the 38 winds up after expanding. The extra weight will help it plow through tissue and bone that might deflect a 38. I wouldn't consider an appropriate 44 spl load too powerful for HD.

I'll reserve comment regarding your father's handloads but I never said a 41 magnum is not an efficient round. Anything you hit with a full 41 magnum load will swear it was hit with a 44. I'll bet your father can shoot just as well with a good 357 or 44.

I agree with the eye candy and collectibility to some extent. If I found a Python for $1000 of course I'd buy it. I'd flip it and use the money to buy guns I really liked. Before anyone says anything selling a gun for a profit occaisionally does not put you in a "business" category. It all boils down to guns are like cars, women,.booze, or anything else to guys. We all have our tastes.
