Try Sarco?

FWIW the TSA has on its website ammo must be "in factory or sturdy container" or something like that. They always used to be okay with loaded magazines as long as the top (feeding end of mag where ammo is exposed) was covered. I have a trip coming up and am booked on American so I checked their website. American specifically said "no loaded clips (sic)" and said factory or sturdy box. Something to keep in mind. I'll be taking my ammo in boxes from now on.

This is a good example of voters not being informed. Outside of Sweeny's A rating from the NRA he's just another tax and spend liberal. He can introduce bills to the state legislature for ccw and his party doesn't care because they know it isn't getting anywhere. His background as a big union guy is evidence of his socialist views. Show me any big union guy and deep down inside there's a little Karl Marx. Or more likely a lot.

That and the fact Christie ran on a platform of reducing government, taxes, and spending. Those are things any voter understands. A candidate running solely on 2A issues is only going to win if stupid voters elect him. Yes I said that. You have to have a stand on all issues. Look at Tea Party candidates. Yeah they are pro 2A but how many times do they bring it up? It is just a part of being a constitution based conservative.

I'm sure someone in the current adminstration knows something about dummying up brith certificates so they can do this!!!!!!!

France received over 200,000 from us during the 50s and early 60s that's possibly how it got there. It does loook to be in good shape. Maybe it was found in a warehouse recently. I've seen CMP get some returns that were brand new in the factory wrapper over the years.

I have been a PBA member for nearly 40 years. I have had a NJ State PBA shield in one of my cars for most of that time. I can show you hundreds of active and retired PBA members with shields in their car. The NJ State PBA does not "sell" car shields for donations. They are for PBA members and their spouses. Even then they are loaned to PBA members as shields are marked on the back property of NJSPBA. If you know someone who has a NJSPBA shield in their car and is not a LEO it is probably stolen. Many of these so called "PBA" shields you see are in fact "sold" for donations by so called police charities. If you get close enough to read the shield it may look like a NJSPBA shield but isn't as related by diamondd817. You can start an organization, say the NJ Police Charity, file as a 501c, solicit donations, pay yourself as administrator, and give a small percentage to a LE cause and its legal. These organizations really do nothing significant for LE. The only four legit LE organizations in NJ that I know of is the NJSPBA, FOP, NJ Troopers Assoc, and the Federal Law Enforcement Officers Assoc. None of the solicit by phone or sell car shields for donations. The characterization that you typically find a PBA shield on a large SUV driven by a middle aged woman and its blocking a driveway is not just inaccurate, its stupid. I can't understand what the issue is with a PBA shield being displayed on a car. Make up you own shield and put it on your car. You think its stupid? You're entitled to think that but stupid to me is presenting an argument based on false information.

Looks like you guys have a them vs us mentality.

FWIW I can remember when you could buy a new S&W Model 19 for $130. This was a a time when I started on the police department, one of the highest paidi n the state, and made $10,553 a year. I cleared about $140 a week.

Iver Johnson was the first to have a transfer bar which prevented the firing pin from hitting the primer unless the trigger was pulled back about 1907 or so. They called it the "hammer the hammer" safety. We kind of take this for granted today. S&W didn't incorporate this until WWII when a sailor dropped his Victory model and was killed when the revolver fell on the hammer. The automatic refers to the cases being ejected automatically when you opened the action. Most inexpensive revolvers of that time required you to pluck out the empties with your fingernails or any available small stick.

I usually use Breakfree as a lube (not a cleaner) on everything. I have a universal procedure I use in lubing and that to put a liberal amount on the interior and spread it on everything with a small brush. I do this so its shiny wet not drippy. I will make the cam pin drippy. You will get lubricant on areas that don't need to be lubed like the interior of the upper or slide on a pistol but I think that also makes it easier to clean as you have the crap fall on lubricant instead of dry metal. This system has worked for me on handguns, shotguns, ARs (including full auto M16s and M4s), and MP5s. I've never had to relube on the range even after firing close to and maybe exceeding 2000 rds. The "best" lube for an AR type rifle IMO is Dri-Slide. It is a dry molydendum disulfide lubricant in a liquid vehicle that evaporates leaving a coating wherever it was applied. The original Dri-Slide would leave what looked like soot on the part (which was the dry lube) and that's probably why the military never adopted it. A properly lubed weapon that was "dirty" when you touched a lubed part! However if you dropped that lubed part in the sand...it didn't pick up any sand! I used it during my tour in Vietnam on M14s and M16s. It works well in a dry environment as I used it on my M16 when I worked in AZ and I'd put that and the Vietnamese dust against any so called Iraqi moon dust as far as its ability to screw up a rifle. Dri Slide worked everywhere. Its hard to find but you can order it on line. Break Free is almost as good.

I'd say the remake was almost as good. Of course there are films no one in their right mind would try to remake like "Casablanca".

I agree that its very unrealistic. North Koreans aren't very effective in establishing a viable espionage network because once a NK gets out of there and sees how the rest of the world lives they defect. If the North Koreans invaded the US we really wouldn't have to fight them. All we would have to do is offer them a two bedroom apartment, a small SUV, and a $1000 gift card to defect. Much less costly then fighting them. We probably wouldn't have to offer them that much. I saw Mel Brooks in an interview and he was asked what his fascination was with Hitler (To Be or Not To Be, The Producers). He responded with if you made fun of or made anyone else the bad guy you would hurt some feelings. If someone was upset about Hitler being made the bad guy...who cares? If they do, the hell with them anyway. Same thing here. If we make the Iranians the bad guys they would twist that around to their favor in the Muslim world. As I said earlier few North Koreans will ever see the movie. If this makes it sell better in China that's great. We can bring some of those US dollars home. Someone commented that with Red Dawn as the title we should be up against the Chinese. The only true Communist countries left are North Korea and Cuba.

Never saw a remake that was better than the original or even just as good. Making the North Koreans the bad guys is a good idea. Very few of them will know the movie was even made. Looks like a vehicle for Connor Cruise to start his career.

I didn't see the show but its on at 10 tonight in case anyones interested.

HE, HEDP, and practice rounds arm in 14 to 28 meters. Some of the specialty rounds, like CS and smoke arm at different ranges but all arm somewhere between 10 and 50 meters. This doesn't include star, star parachute, and buckshot rounds which are hot out of the tube.

Lots of good info here but there are a few things to add. I have a little experience from the military and as a civilian dealing with GSWs. I was trained as a EMT some time ago and a little training past that. Some of the things I've learned by experience or been told by people much more qualified than any of us are: 1. Always best to use sterile material on the wound but don't waste time looking for some, moreso with arterial bleeding. If all you have readily available is a dirty tshirt or Wawa napkins (like PK90) use them. Better to treat a GSW victim with an infection that developes than have a DOA. 2, I've never seen arterial bleeding in an extremity controlled well by only pressure and elevation. If this is the situation you find yourself in start getting stuff together for a tourniquet. 3. Gloves are nice but in dealing with severe arterial bleeding you're going to get blood pretty much all over you.

You can download or buy maps direct from USGS. Downloads are free IIRC.

No, the grits are a field expedient clotting agent.

State law never "supercedes" Federal law. FOPA does not "apply" as legal possession of the handgun is required where you start and end your journey as has been pointed out. FOPA would "apply" if you were travelling through NY. Some might argue its only a word but one word can be the difference between being a law abiding citizen or a felon.

I'm with Ray and Smokin 50 as far as a revolver goes. 4" 357 best IMO. The OTC power range on ammo is unmatched by any other handgun. There are some that will complain about the long DA pull. These are probably the same guys who are accustomed to using cheat codes when they play video games. Its not that hard to learn to control the trigger on a DA revolver. Best of all you can practice it dry firing both DA and SA without spending a dime on ammo. Master the DA revolver and everything else is easy.

Every Vietnam Era Marine I know experienced deja vu when they saw the boot camp scenes. The only thing they say wouldn't have happened is when they had the guy marching with his pants around his ankles on the parade field. On a back trail yes, but not in public view on the parade field in public view. They said it would piss off the officers. Yeah but that's what was done then. I do have a story about this though. 3 guys in a jeep. Driver and 2 guys in the back sitting over the rear wheel arches. Some Vietnamese walking alongside the road. Jeep only doing about 10 mph. One of the guys in the back feels something hit his leg and sees a grenade at his feet. He yells "GRENADE" and jumps out of the jeep followed by the other guy in the back. The driver looks over his shoulder and sees the grenade about a foot from his ass. Keep in mind this is a M151 and the driver is also sitting on the gas tank. The driver bails out of the jeep. Now there is an unguided jeep going down the road. The Vietnamese have no idea what's going on with this unpiloted jeep continuing on the road and they scatter or hit the dirt. Surprisingly the jeep goes a couple of hundred meters without human guidance and winds up in a ditch. Nothing happens. The guy who felt the grenade hit his leg figures it out real quick. He looks down and where the grenade hanging from his flak jacket was is a fuse attached to the safety lever. What had happened was the grenade he had hanging on his flak jacket had unscrewed itself from the fuse and hit his leg. That's where the grenade on the floor of the jeep came from. When they walked up to the jeep the grenade without a fuse was still laying there. Only minor injuries to the 3 GIs and the jeep.

They couldn't d that as it would be performing an official function on a not official forum. I think you can see the problem if they did that.

From my perspective having been a LE firearms instructor for nearly 30 years you are 100% correct Ray.

I really don't have a problem with what is defined as a covered person being detained IAW the Rules of War. Dealing with terrorism as only a police problem doesn't work. This was proved in Munich in 1972. That's why in Europe they use the military, like the SAS or GSG9 to deal with terrorists. This can't be done here under present laws. German spies and saboteurs in WWII were dealt with by military tribunals not the criminal justice system even if they were US citizens. Most people read section 1021 and became so incensed when they read the detention provisions they didn't read the rest of 1021 or go on to read 1022 to find out there are protections for the accused. Some argue that these protection provisions really don't give any. All of this is a moot point as a Federal Court ruled in May that Sect 1021 is unconstitutional. The Obama administration has taken the position that this ruling only applies to those that filed the suit. They know this is bs. How does something be unconstitutional for a handful of people and not everyone in a similar situation? The government didn't appeal this ruling as they could see it wasn't going to get them anywhere. Holder will take any terrorism case that originates in the US through the criminal justice system and not try to use Section 1021 as it would really get ugly for the administration.
