At a meeting last year they voted NRA membership mandatory. The rationale was the NRA supports many programs run by the club so the club should support the NRA.

I shot out my 1911 barrel. How many rounds did you take to do that? I have a Combat Commander since 1975 and am still on the factory barrel. I've shot maybe 20,000 rds but mostly lead bullets.

All the barrels are stock GLOCK. Now the 26 was clean and the others were dirty. But all shots on the 26 were consistantly higher. Weird isn't it Not really. I've seen variations of 150 fps on NEW consecutive serial numbered guns. Variations of 100-150 fps are not unusual as you will find as you chrono more loads.

Best that you leave an extra 1/2" or so in case you ding the muzzle there is a little bit you can cut off. Whilst (like that word don't get to use it much) you can cut a shotgun barrel down with a tubing cutter be very judicious in its use. Many wind up putting the equivalent of a full choke as they are in a hurry to get it done. Lightly score, 1/8 of a twist down do it again.

I'm not talking about handguns specifically designed for target shooting like the Model 52 S&W here but guns suitable for carrying. The 1911 is one of the most accurate platforms around but have found my Taurus PT99AF (1988 vintage) extarordinarily accurate. My vote for the most guaranteed out of the box accuracy is a S&W K frame 38 Special of just about any model. The Model 58 was spec to shoot 1/2" at 50 yds. Every gun was test fired and if it didn't pass was hand fitted until it did. Wolfy are you talking the S&W Model 58 and if so the old one or the new one? To maintain that degree of accuracy in a standard handgun without a super premium price would quickly put a manufacturer out of business.

This mimics 10 USC 311 which makes all males 17 to 45 members of the unorganized militia under federal law. It also defines who is expempt from militia service. Implications? Realistically, none. Since the Civil War there has been very few activations of state militias.

I've had several and they all worked well. Not as sharp or glare free as a more expensive scope but they held zero. I have an older one that is a copy of the Colt scope that clamps to the carrying handle on a M16/M4. I used it on a M16 and M4 before I retired and fired many thousands of rounds with it mounted including full auto fire. The crosshairs are a bit fuzzy now but it is still usable. I don't think the scope was designed for the abuse I put it through but I still use it.

I was reading and saw pics of a guy who's granddad worked at H&R during WW2 You sure that was a M1 carbine and H&R? H&R never made M1 carbines, they mae M1 Garands in the 50s.

Sell them to Numrich Arms for parts. You can strip the parts and turn in the receiver. This would give you something to show you don't have the gun anymore. I don't think NJSP maintains records of long guns but if it is a long gun you'd want the record of turnin anyway. I bet you a cool million that selling or destroying does not trigger your purchase permit record getting pulled at the issuing PD. Likewise it doesnt trigger anyone at the selling FFL to go erase it from the bound book...... It shouldn't remove those records. The PD has to show final disposition of that permit. The FFL cannot erase it from his bound book and needs to maintain a record of that transaction. These things have nothing to do with you turning the gun in for destruction.

Kagan's nomination is like Bush's nominatiom of Harriet Miers. Both have no track record and little experience. However, little experience is just about everyone in the current adminstration including Obama. I would not expect an Obama nomination to be anything but a radical socailist.

I've bought several guns from Jim. Great guy, no BS. He's 90 miles away but as far as I'm concerned he's worth the drive.

5 cops. yes, 5 cops. One at each end sitting in cruiser. One where the hoe was digging, two nearby, watching. That's what the company wanted and was willing to pay for. Don't blame the cops for this.

Glocks are pretty wide and can get uncomfortable when you carry 24/7. I've carried daily for over 40 years. Many people (LEOs included) want to carry the smallest gun they can get away with. We carried G19s (but you could also carry a 17) where I worked and eventually strted to get G26s mainly because the brass complained about the 19 being "too big" (best all around Glock 0mm but that's another story). There is really not that much difference between a Bersa and a Glock 26/27. With that said, I carried a PPK in 380 until they weren't authorized. If you're comfortable (power wise) with the Bersa go ahead. Just don't get all wrapped up in 1/2" here, an inch there, when it comes to sizes in carry guns. I never had an issue carrying full size semi autos or a 4" K frame concealed. But that's just me.

Children of illegal aliens born in the US can stay as they are citizens and someone legally here is willing to be their guardian. Usually they go back with their parents but can later be readmitted as citizens. "My kids are citizens" is not much of a petition but is has worked.

This is not a bad idea. The state would save money just doing emissions testing (which I think is required for Fed highway money I believe). The vast majority of people are somewhat diligent in maintaining their vehicles. I don't think this is going to create a "safety" problem. I've lived in states that only had emissions testing and didn't think the roads were less safe.

There has to be more to this story.

B. a semi-automatic pistol that has an ability to accept a detachable magazine and has at least 2 of the following: an ammunition magazine that attaches to the pistol outside of the pistol grip; a threaded barrel capable of accepting a barrel extender, flash suppressor, forward handgrip, or silencer; a shroud that is attached to, or partially or completely encircles, the barrel and that permits the shooter to hold the firearm with the nontrigger hand without being burned; manufactured weight of 50 ounces or more when the pistol is unloaded; and a semi-automatic version of an automatic firearm; and, The mag location and weight (56 oz) makes the Charger an assault weapon according to the AG's guidelines.

If you want to have a 5 gallon bucket of sand in your house that's your call. Safe Direction is relative to where you are. At the range it is usually downrange unless someone is down there changing targets or something. You should pick a safe direction based on: 1. No chance of injury to anyone 2. Minimal damage if the gun discharges. Toilets are out as they will stop most handgun bullets but they are also hard and bullets can ricochet. And a modern weapon is ultimately only as safe as the operator. This is true. The only true AD I ever had was from a 22 auto that slamfired. Headspace was too tight. A mechanical malfunction. I was in a first floor apartment built on a concrete slab. The bullet went into the subfloor and that's where it stayed. A little glue fixed the hole. I have a half basement with a crawl space under the other half. Pointed at the floor there is nothing but dirt once the bullet goes through the floor. It has 3" of memory foam on top so it should stop a bullet. I seriously doubt it. More than one person has put a bullet hole thru many a mattress.

NJ Gun Laws are unique. In most states the law tells youn what you can't do. Anything that's not prohibited is legal. NJ Gun Laws basically make anything to do with firearms illegal except what the law says you can do. A carry permit in NJ is a "permit to carry a handgun". Doesn't say open or concealed but if you have one and you're not uniformed security of some type it better be concealed.

i am wondering if i can carry a pistol to back up my bear mace. thanks in advance for your replys. Adam No carrying a pistol and no to carrying bear spray. The size of bear spray makes it illegal for a regular person to carry. I think the max size container legal to carry in NJ is one container of not more than 3/4 oz (NJS 2C:39-6i.). The only way you can carry a firearm legally as I see it is to prove you use it to fish with?????????

By signing international treaties on gun control, the Obama administration can use the US State Department to bypass the normal legislative process in Congress. Once the US Government signs these international treaties, all US citizens will be subject to those gun laws created by foreign governments. Does the Obama Administration think no one is going to take this to the SCOTUS? He can't "bypass" the Constitution.

From the linked article: The indictment accuses Blackwater officials of enticing the local sheriff's office to pose as the purchaser of the weapons, something prosecutors called a straw purchase. The office provided blank letterhead to the company, which then used the stationery to prepare letters ordering weapons. It seems like someone from the Camden County Sheriff's Office should be going somewhere soon.

The Ruger is a very good gun, very reliable also. But the SIG is on another level. This is not apples to oranges here... this is a Ford f150 stripper to Ford F250 King Ranch comparison. Good comparision. You also need to consider how much you want or have to spend. 1) Can you please advise me on which is the most reliable. In other words which would you bet your life on? I carried a P90 as a duty gun for about 5 years so I guess that answers your question. However, I would carry either gun. Choosing between the two, reliability is not an issue. At the time I looked at the 220 as I wanted a DA 45 auto for duty use. The Ruger was $290 and the SIG $500. The SIG is a bit more refined but not worth the extra $200 IMO. As far as a carry gun there is no difference between the two.

If this is true then NJ has established another first! The only state in the country where you can't have CMP ship to your door! Closer and closer to being officially called a people's republic!

Was this posted on the CMP forum? It seems to be down now.
