Mythbusters tested it - Slower moving bullets (9mm in particular) penetrate water fine. Yes but only for a few feet. If the shark isn't at or just a foot or so under the water the effectiveness of the projectile falls off rapidly.

Out of state long gun: This item is a New Jersey compliant long gun being sold from outside of New Jersey. It may be shipped to a New Jersey FFL to complete the transaction, or the buyer may elect to travel to the seller to complete a face to face transaction, providing the required paperwork (NJ Driver's License, New Jersey FID card and NJ Certificate of Eligibility) is valid and complete. If transaction is done out of state it must be done at a FFL in that state. You cannot transfer a long gun to someone who is not a resident of your state in a simple ftf transaction. For example I bought a long gun from a guy in PA I go to a FFL in PA who does the transfer.

A cartouche is letters, symbols, etc impressed into the stock. Theu denote manufacturer, inspector, rebuilds and a lot of other things.

LAWSUIT! Easy to say and easy to win but would you really want to go through a few thousand dollars and at least several months to win...the second permit? You can call the NJSP Firearms Investigation Unit and tell them what happened. This seems like a much less expensive and time consuming method to get the same result.

Yea its the staked in kind. Question: can a gunsmith change the style? Or would i have to order a new slide that has the dove tail cuts? Based on my experience I'd get a dovetail cut for the front sight. A pistolsmith should be able to do this. I have a 70 series Combat Commander that I had a set of high profile sights installed with the front sight staked back in the 70s by a nationally known pistolsmith. No one was doing dovetail front sights then. It kept loosening nad he kept tightening them back up until I had the front sight silver soldered and slide refinished. That sight eventually broke off. Had a new set installed same thing. Had a dovetail cut and new front sight done and it's workling well. I don't think anyone can stake front sights on as good as the factory. I've probably had maybe 50,000 rds through this gun and guns with the same mileage and factory staked sights haven't given me any problem. That's been my experience.

we should have cops like that here. There would not be as many issues IMHO The only problem is the press would report that incident as: "Emotionally disturbed man gunned down without mercy by ruthless, blood thirsty police."

"I think only cops should be allowed to carry guns." Really hard to manage though. Not an easy thing to shoot well all totally unbalanced.

Semi-Auto AK style Rifle with no stock I see little use for something like that but if it floats your boat.....

Not sure if this is true but I have heard of forcing cone issues (cracking and erosion) in S&W .357 revolvers from using bullets lighter than 125g That's with k frame S&Ws and it applies to anything lighter than about 140 gr.

Federal law says he can purchase a long gun in any state. NJ is more restrictive and says you must be a NJ resident. Unless he establishes NJ residency (driver's license, NJFID, etc) he cannot buy any gun in NJ. He can go to PA and buy a long gun. Any legally acquired firearm can be kept at his residence as long as it doesn't violate any NJ law (like the Assault Weapon law).

It all depends on the kid. I was a LEO so both my kids can't remember when Daddy didn't carry a gun. My oldest daughter was shooting a 22 when she was 4. My youngest never had any interest whatsoever. Both would never touch a gun unless they had permission from when they were about 3 on. My oldest daughther would get upset if a kid pointed a toy gun at her.

It will work in either gun. The point of impact will be lower if you're shooting heavier bullets. Velocity will be higher than heavier bullets, expansion much more dramatic, and penetration probably less. No reason not to use it in either gun.

15rd 5.45 mags would seem to be a "designer" issue. The 5.45 just hasn't taken the shooting world by storm because of limited (although cheap) ammo styles and lack of reloading components. This compounded with the fact that most states that have magazine limits have made it 10rd to comply with the now defunct federal AWB. NJ is the only state with 15 that I now of and not excatly enough gun culture in the state to entice a manufacturer to tool up for 15rd mags. Your best bet is to make your own and in order to do so legally you need a friend in PA to receive the magazines and give you a place to work on them.

I need to hear the rest of the story (there is always more) before I pass my judgement.

USAA generally serves only active and possibly retired/former military as I recall. Active/reserve/retired military officers, FBI, and Secret Service Special Agents only. Once you get it and you fall out of one of the categories you can still keep it as can your children. A few years ago they were threatened by NJ that they would have to take all these high risk drivers if they didn't insure more drivers in the state. They asked for referrals from their policy holders for friends who were good drivers and easily met their quota as required by NJ. This is one of the things that keeps their rates low. They also give you a rebate every year depending on how many claims they had to pay which is (to my recollection) at least 10% and one year it was a little over 25%. In addition they start a subscriber's savings account where they take some of these excess earnings and deposit it in their bank. Even with these rebates their rates are lower than anyone else's and these rebates make it even less costly.

No one beats NJ Manufacturers ...... price is great, customer service is awesome. NJ Manufacturers is close to USAA's prices and service. USAA generally only serves a restricted clientele though.

El Al flies direct to DC. I believe he went to NY first to hear what Queen Elizabeth had to say. There were most likely a Secret Service detail on the plane with him to DC.

It would be a physical deformity. You would be able to see it and feel it as you pushed a patch down the bore. It appears you did didn't do any damage. I've fired hundreds of thousands of rounds and had exactly one squib (on a factory load). Maybe you've had yours. Just remember to check things out if you're at the range and something doesn't feel right.

I've belonged to CJRPC for a few years. Undoubtedly one of the best ranges in NJ. Specifics about their ranges: 1. 300 yd high power rifle, centerfir erfile only 2. 200 yd multi-purpose, anything you want to shoot There have been issue about rounds going over the berm there so there are rules regarding target height relative to shooting position on these two ranges. Not as complicated as it sounds 3. Trap and Skeet, I don't do it but you just need to checked out on the equipment before you can. 4. Indoor pistol range, open 24/7 5. Pits, these are under renovation but basically 50-75 yd, shoot anything except centerfire rifle. This is where I shoot the most. 6. Archery range and shotgun patterning range. 7. Outdoor pistol range set up more for the bulleye shooters. Naturally it gets a bit crowded on weekends. Being retired I usually go during the week. Simple rules not hard to comply with. Every weekend there is some type of match.

There was always a Lakewood PD range there conspicuously posted no trespassing. I don't know who owns the land there. There was no problem until their were people who didn't ensure their rounds were going into a suitable backstop

Midway says no to shipping ammo to NJ You can't blame Midway. There is nothing illegal about shipping ammo to NJ but many companies are reluctant to ship anything firearm related to NJ because of NJ's cockeyed laws which are always open to the NJ AG's interpretation. If you remember recently CMP was told they can't ship rifles directly to the purchaser in NJ. CMP and it's predcessors had been doing this for about 100 years and for at least the past 30 under present NJ law. All of a sudden the new AG felt she was the only one who interpreted the law correctly and now CMP has to ship to an FFL. This was just about an overnight thing and wasn't publicized in NJ let alone evry other state.

Do the firearms to be inherited have to be specifically left to a named person in a will? This is an issue in Federal law. If the person and gun or guns are specifically mentioned in the will they can be shipped to the heir in another state. If not they must go through a FFL.

A 22 is a relatively low pressure round. It is possible there is no ring in the barrel. If there is a small one you might want to see how the gun still shoots. Sometimes there is no effect on the future functioning and accuracy of the pistol. Me? I'd replace the barrel.
