A lot of what you say here is supposition. You can suppose a lot of things that will never happen. I'm still waiting for someone to give me an example of a person being arrested for having one hollow point in their trunk. Even though the letter definiing reasonable deviations from the NJ AG is still effect there are many who believe you have to pee your pants if you are enroute to the range. You're rambling on about things that have never happened. That's being a fear monger like Nappen. There is no defense to the vagueness of NJ gun laws. However you seem to feel LEOS don't exercise common sense. You're wrong on that. Yes there have been people arrested because of NJ's ridiculous laws. However you never hear of the hundreds, probably thousands of times nothing happens because most LEOS do exercise common sense. None of that makes the news. It is non-news. Your argument that unloading magazines puts unnecessary wear and tear on them and you might damage the ammunition is frivolous. You probably shouldn't be using them anyway if that's the case. You say LEOS should not be allowed to act on case law. That would be illegal. That's the system created by the COTUS. If LEOS didn't act on case law there would be no right to remain silent, right to end questioning, or right to counsel. That was established by case law and Miranda, who was really a criminal, got off because those rights were denied. I think you're confused with the term case law. The law established in a trial is law of the case. Appellate courts establish case law. Case law can give more liberties or make more restrictions on LEOS.

Wow!!! Chunks of meat!!!

Same here.

Can't remember what state it was in (not NJ, CA I think) but IIRC a guy was arrested for a loaded firearm as he had loaded magazines not in the gun. The prosecutor argued that a firearm is loaded if any part of the firearm is loaded with ammunition, for example the tube magazine on a pump shotgun, the firearm is loaded. Apparently the jury or judge bought that idea and they guy was convicted. The conviction was immediately overturned on appeal. If the magazine had been in the gun it could he considered loaded even with an empty chamber. No way would a loaded magazine, separate from the firearm, be considered a loaded firearm. The case law established by the appelate court says a loaded magazine is not a firearm.

I would also think they have 24/7 security in the Cathedral.

I would think he would want to get the basement pumped out so he needs to contact his insurance company. I don't see how you could be held responsible unless he was paying you to do this requiring you to check the house like once a week or so. Even then the pipe may have started leaking a couple of days after your last inspection. I pretty much avoid this problem by shutting off the water if I'm going to be gone longer a couple of days.

There had to be some accelerant to make the fire spread so quickly.

Saw some photos and the roof collapsed. Everything inside is pretty much destroyed. Looks like an empty shell standing. I think there's more to this story. A building like that just doesn't burn like that without help.

@Zeke you can do that with your 7mm Mag. You need to roll your own to afford the ammo though.

The 30 carbine has been around for almost 80 years. There have only been a handful (literally you can count on one hand) of guns manufactured in that caliber other than the M1 Carbine. Now I think the M1 Carbine is good for what it was designed for but you can go out and buy the modern version. A Mini 14 which shoots a better cartridge. 7.62 Tok came to the US with the plethora of new and surplus guns in the 80s and 90s along with surplus spam cans of ammo of a bazillion rounds for $50-60. Since that ammo supply has dried up they ain't so popular. The same with the 5.45x39. Great round when you could get 2000 rds for $100. Not so much now.

There is also no danger of the ceiling collapsing in the Taylor Ham/pork roll thread. That's closer to you say toe-mah-toe, I say toe-may-toe.

It may be a case where she is serviced by a different post office than the town she resides.

Have them ship it to PA.

I think not as the extension requires another signature.

Yes, there is an "accepted" way of doing things. The fact is whatever you do to make it work, as long as it's safe, is fine. I have big hands but short stubby fingers so I know what you're talking about.

@dajonga training with the hardware is important. Most of anyone's fighting ability is between their ears. Mental preparation, situational awareness, and other factors having nothing to do with hardware are almost all of the fight.

I don't know about that @Maksim. Going back over 20 years ago when the agency I worked for changed over to Glocks. I'd say 80% of them were shooting to the left during transition training. I'm talking several hundred 17s and 19s. This was with good and poor shooters.

Breaking even or making money is dependent on what it is,how much you paid for it to start with, how long you've kept it, and it's demand. You're going to make a lot more on that Python you bought for $250 back in the 70s. Expect to lose money on that Glock you bought last year. You can make money on that Glock you bought in the 90s.

You know that's bs. If you are born into poverty the only thing that holds you back is how devoted you are to bringing yourself up.

That was a Federal case. Not the same as a state law limiting magazine capacity. A subpeona from a state court in CA is really only good in CA.

Case law is set by am appeallate court. This is "law of the case".

That would only work for vendors in CA. A subpoena from a CA is really only good in CA.

I feel you're over thinking this. There are plenty of people with plenty of guns they acquired legally before they moved to NJ. I haven't heard of anyone with any problems because of this.

Sterile or clean is always better but if the bleeding is that bad use whatever you got. Better to deal with an infection later than have the victim bleed out at the scene.

I'll be there. Now did Mrs Tex want to know because if I was coming she wouldn't be? I'll probably bring a vegetable.
