I agree to an extent. But how many gun owners would be willing to show up with an unloaded long gun and they have a NJ FID (totally legal), be arrested and have the charges dropped

No legal basis. Just their policy. They want to avoid any issues with NJ. Not that I agree with it.

You can sell a rifle to someone who lives in another state but you have to go through a FFL. There, here. or at both ends. Different ways you can do this: 1. Go to SC and meet the buyer at a FFL there and make the transfer. You can do the same thing in NJ if the SC resident has a NJ FID. 2. Ship the rifle to a FFL in SC after you get your money. You can legally ship a firearm to a FFL anywhere in the US. The FFL will want a copy of your driver's license so he can log where it came from. Some FFLs will only accept firearms shipped by another FFL. You'll have to take the rifle to a FFL in NJ who will ship it to a FFL in SC. Don't worry about the rifle being originally purchased in NJ.

All handguns sold in NJ on a P2P are kept in a database by NJSP. Records for long guns are kept by NJ FFL and I imagine are turned over to the state when the FFL goes out of business. States with registration laws record handgun and maybe long gun sales. The Federal government has no database on gun sales. If a LE agency requests a trace on a gun, ATF goes to the manufacturer or importer and finds the distributor the gun was originally sent to. The distributor supplies the FFL the gun was sent to. The FFL supplies the person who bought the gun. Joe bought the gun from the FFL and sold it to Charlie. As long as they can find the new owner this system works. There are also older inexpensive guns that were manufactured before 1968 that have no serial number. No way to trace that gun at all. There are several instances where the trace stops. Some examples: 1. Someone buys a gun from someone in a "free" state. No paperwork, no registration. Like buying a hammer in many states. The seller doesn't remember who he sold the gun to. 2. Inherited guns that were bought out of state in a "free" state and willed to someone. I mention this because as long as the heir is not a prohibited person this is one of the rare exceptions someone (the heir) can take possession of a handgun or long gun in another state with no FFL involved. This is legal under Federal and NJ law. There are others but I think I gave you the idea.

Her family will get a big payout from the Federal government. A go fund me would be nice but the Federal government, no matter who's in power, will want to make this go away. They will just print more money to cover the settlement.

I have some 30-30. Pm me.

So you know more about the law than most cops? Just asking.

They are, to use your words, "urban legends. There are anti-gun cops and there are pro-gun cops. Most cops are in between. They are not looking to jack you up for a license plate frame or stopping at the Wawa for something you need at home. You ask most cops "is this a flash surpressor or a muzzle brake" , they aren't sure and can care less...unless you're using that gun to commit a crime. If you don't encounter a crime often your knowledge of it gets lost. More so "technical" malum prohibitum laws. If NJ law changed tomorrow and NJ became a "shall issue" state most cops couldn't care less. They would still be going after criminals with guns. Cops speaking out on unfair laws, especially gun laws. You will notice most of them are sheriffs. Why? Sheriffs only have to answer to the voters come next collection. Your typical cop can't speak out against laws. First, they are a part of the executive branch. They are sworn to enforce laws passed by the legislature. Not beong verbal about how they feel about a law. Stories about cops not enforcing a law because they don't think is fair don't make the news. Why? The cop could lose his job. Cops are also subject to scrutiny on and off duty. Many things a lot of people do off the job cops can't do off duty. If they did they'd be disciplined, suspended or even fired. If a cop speaks out against unfair fun laws at a 2A rally, someone will find out he or she is a cop. They will probably have to answer for this and how it reflects on their department. Hey, I don't know if I'm great. Good, yeah.

Was he for or against those laws and how much did he do? I don't think anyone here has the answer.

That's a lot of assumption. How do you know he supported red flag laws? One would think a cop has just a bit more knowledge about the law than many people.

Every subsonic I tested through the about 9" barrel of a MP5 or PCC stayed subsonic through a chronograph. Most PCCs lost some velocity compared to firing through a pistol. My guess is the powder is consumed and barrel friction comes into play.

I'm right/right. I notice when shooting slow fire I'll shut my left eye. Shooting combat I keep both open and my right eye seems to take over sighting. I've encountered right hand/left eye dominant shooters. For the most part they shot handgun right hand turning their head slightly to use the left eye for sighting. They shot long guns left handed.

There should be no problems with pressure or functioning in your Walther. The only surefire way to find out is to shoot some.

Okay I drew on my personal knowledge and did a bit of research. HE projectile is 95 lbs for all 155s. MV varies depending on what model gun. Using powder, not a rocket assisred projo, I came up with the following: M114, MV 1850 fps, power factor 1,230,250,000 M198, MV 2240 fps, power factor 1,489,600,000 M109SP would depend what model. M777, MV 2700 fps, power factor 1,795,500,000 I'd call any of those a one shot stop on a center mass hit.

@Golf battery. You talking a m114, M109, or a M777?

Even a whiffle ball bat!!!

Too many people look for the law to tell them what they can do. That's not the purpose of law. Law is supposed to tell you what YOU CAN'T DO. You can't steal, you can't murder, etc. If you look at the law Federally and in most states no one tells you "it is legal to use hollow points in self defense in the home". Law is not there to tell you what you can do. If you lawfully shoot an intruder with a hollow point in your home there is no law that says you can't and no law that says you can. An "aggressive prosecutor" cannot make up a law that says you were wrong. If you hit an intruder with your legally possessed baseball bat in your living room who was going to kill you a prosecutor can't go after you.

You can make 270 brass from 30-06 brass just by running it thru a 270 sizing die. The case neck is a little shorter but I have found zero difference in accuracy.

Hollow points are not illegal in NJ. You can have them at home, at the range, and hunting.

While I usually start new shooters with a 22 all skills don't easily transfer to a centerfire. When I started with the Federal government we had one shooter that had issues and couldn't hit anything with a 4" S&W M66 with wadcutters. Instructor switched her to a 4" M18, 22. She shot that well. Same grip, trigger, etc. Eventually shot the 66 good enough to qualify. About 25 years ago several LE agencies tried teaching new recruits with 22s first. They found no benefit from that. They found when they switched to centerfire it was a new learning experience.

Hoppes #9 to clean. I've been using G96. Old tech but it works as a CLP. Breakfree? Work's great for L and P IMO. It''s okay as C but doesn'tdo the best job. I've only been using CLP from the 90s. JMO.

I've got a Savage Scout 308 I bought a few years ago for under 400 new. Put a slightly used Burris 2.75x on it. It shoots 1" groups at 100 all day long with just about any NATO spec ammo. US, British, Australian, Portuguese, German, Lithuanian, etc. Shot a 6/10" group with Federal 149 gr XM80. That's enough accuracy for my purposes. I will experiment with hand loads when I have the time.

I always liked the Mercedes 300 SEL 6.3 built in the late 60s early 70s. A monster at the time but today the performance is matched by many economy car "sport" versions. 20 years ago you could find one of these Mercedes for a reasonable price. Then they were approaching big buck rebuilds or owners who wanted to dump them before they reached that point. Now they cost a lot more. An oft ignored "muscle car" was the Honda Odyssey mini van. A mini van. About 2011 they had a turbo version with over 1000 hp. If you pulled up next to one in your hot F body Mustang, you'd get smoked. Literally. I saw them smoke the front tires on the American Top Gear. Problem was they put all that money into horsepower and none into suspension. On Top Gear, Tanner Mays, who is a race car driver, almost put it into the wall on an oval track. The best handling muscle cars of the 60s were the 442 and Gran Sport. I do have a place in my heart for the 64 GTO with Tri-power. In 65 they became a bit more civilized. Another nice car from the 60s was the Olds "Turnpike Cruiser". It was a 442 with a 2 barrel carb. Reasonably fast, good handling and it gave you...20mpg.

NJ will never loosen up the carry permit laws unless they are forced to. If the Democrats pack the SCOTUS there won't be a chance to change things for at least 30 years. There is a chance with the present court.

You have no concerns after you: 1. Get your money. The FFL does not have to witness this. The FFL doesn't care if you're selling or giving the firearm. 2. Give the FFL your ID so he can put who he got the gun from in his book. You have no paperwork to do as the seller.
