Has Political Correctness gone too far?
What happened is ridiculous. Have the girl apologize? For what? This kind of crap is very one sided as I'm sure if the mural ended in a gay marriage and the artist was told it was offensive there would be way too many people defending it.

Heads Up - A Push for No More Lead
It should be noted that the statement in the linked article is based on guess and not on fact. If they were really cncerned about the eagle ewating lead they would have done a blood test to prove their.point. However guessing is enough in this country to get the alarmists going for a total lead ban.

Bullet Set-back?
I've seen bullets set back in factory ammo often. I used to caution agents regarding this as some unloaded every night when they went home, reload in the morning, and repeat the process when they entered and left the office. Some people didn't want to wear a gun in the office so they would unload it and put it in a lockbox while there. A loaded round can't be expected to cope with dozens of loadings no matter how correct the neck tension or crimp may be.

Has anyone actually applied for a NJ CCW?
I never said all judges in NJ are liberal. Without a polling I would think most are liberal. I would agree there is most likely professional consequences if a conservative judge started approving carry permits.

Religion in Schools
Thank you. I totally respect your opinions.

Religion in Schools
Separation of church and state means there shall be no state mandated religion. "God" and "Creator" are clearly mentioned in the Declaration of Independence. The First amendment says, "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof...". It has nothing to do with mandating the removal of every religious reference from our everyday lives. I haven't met any normal people who practice a non-Christian religion that were offended by terms such as "Christmas Party". One needs to refer to this now as a "Holiday Party" because radicals demanded the change. By your "simple" interpretation, a school would have to change the title and the words to Handel's Messiah so as not to insult anyone. We should also not teach that many colonies were founded base on religious freedom.

Introducing CCI Quiet-22 LR
It only seems useful for close range if this ballistics table is correct. http://bulletin.accurateshooter.com/2011/12/new-quiet-22-rimfire-ammo-from-cci-just-68-db-of-noise/ Mid range trajectory is nearly 9" high when zeroed for 100 yards.

Has anyone actually applied for a NJ CCW?
Because NJ is run by liberals and they are the ones who appoint judges. Look at the NJ Supreme Court. Denying carry permits is not a matter of being held responsible but one of furtherance of an agenda. Its got nothing to do with being held responsible as they can be held responsible for not issuing permits to people who have applied, been denied, and later killed or seriously injured by a criminal.

reloader guy is correct. Judges can't be sued. Who would want to be a judge if they could be sued for every decision they made?

Anyone have experience with DPMS?
I have two DPMS rifles for about 6-7 years, several thousand rounds, and zero problems. Both factory builds. I would trust my life with either of them.

That would be on the NJSP form to apply for an FID or pistol purchas permit. There is no such question on a 4473. Not busting your chops Lunker I had to look it up to be sure.

I guess an SKS balances better than an AK
They use SKSs because Mosins are too long.

Reloading 5.56 NATO ammo?
Okay, your system works for you but I hardly ever throw away a round I've reloaded. I don't think its just luck what's worked for me for almost 40 years.
-
Reloading 5.56 NATO ammo?
I disagree. I've been reloading 5.56 for almost 40 years for a variety of SA and bolt rifles and have had zero problems using standard dies. There is also some brass out there that will result in a case stuck in the die (yes I know how to lube cases). There may be some. SA rifles that need SB dies but I haven't encountered them in the 5.56, 270, 308, or 30-06 rifles I've used in nearly 40 years.

Movies that you can't help but watch over and over
Casablanca. Something for everyone love story, action, intrique, comedy, and historical fiction. I got to see it on the big screen 10 days ago. I have several dvds and vhs of the movie but when I see it on TCM its like a found treasure.

transporting out of state via airplane?
That change is pretty new as I just discovered it when I checked in December. There are two types of people regarding luggage lost by airlines, those that have and those that will. I usually find a trip with connecting flights more expensive from smaller airports vs going through a bigger one even when you take into account driving there and parking. For example, flights out of Atlantic City usually cost a lot more than the same flights out of Newark or Philly. Driving to a smaller airport would take me substantially more time than just going to Newark or Philly. I guess you just have to do what works for you.

transporting out of state via airplane?
One thing has changed. It used to be you gave the key to no one and you did all the unlocking and locking. However, from the TSA website: "Travelers should remain in the area designated by the aircraft operator or TSA representative to take the key back after the container is cleared for transportation." Now you are just supposed to wait wherever they tell you to. Flying out of a smaller airport is okay but presents another issue. You rarely are able to get a direct flight from smaller airports and must make a connection at a hub somewhere. This means yopur luggage (and your firearm) have to get transferred to another plane. This creates another chance for your gun to be lost. That said, I've flown out of Newark, JFK, O'Hare, Denver, Philly, and a bunch of other airports with a firearm in checked luggage with no issues at all. This has nothing to do with me being a retired LEO as I have to follow the same rules as everyone else. I don't use my retired ID when I fly just my DL.

Wadcutters as SD round?
Ray the guy in the photo may be his grandson as Jim Jr is old enough to have a son in his 20s. If you're talking factory ammo I agree a JHP would be better in a 4" or longer barrel. I prefer the wadcutter in a J frame size gun with a 2" barrel. I know they make JHP loads for short barrels but in any case the efficiency of the JHP depends on expansion. If you don't have enough velocity you won't get the expansion and if you have too much, too quick the expansion will limit penetration. I've said the wadcutter is already in an efficient shape when it hits the target. You said "the rate that energy is transferred is more important than the amount of energy transferred when it comes to causing trauma". That may be so but what is more important than that is shot placement. Shooting a J frame revolver is hard enough and adding the muzzle blast and recoil of a +P JHP load doesn't help anyone shoot it better. The lighter recoil and virtually non-existent muzzle blast of a factory wadcutter make that J frame easier to recover for follow up shots whether they are an experienced pistolero or a novice.

Large Backpack - Any Recommendations?
Midway has used used large ALICE packs for about $40 with frame. I bought one and it is in like new condition. I have used them over 40 years to carry tons of stuff thousands of miles and the ALICE works well.
