  1. IIRC correctly it was a 357 of choice. Thats a hundred years ago so I could be wrong.
  2. You wouldn't be going Democrat. Just raise hell politely
  3. I'd say wait and see. There is a strategy to all this. The "I want it all now" people don't understand this.
  4. Hmm...interesting. The front of the NJ FID has been yellow and the back white since at least the 70s. There is not enough room to roll most thumbprints on the back in the space provided that's why it's a press. I'd hazard a guess that Cabelas in DE has sold thousands of guns to NJ residents with these IDs since it opened. Let us know how this works out.
  5. True. I bought my first vest, a Second Chance, in 1976. Although I quit wearing it long before it still stopped everything it was supposed to stop over 20 years later.
  6. Rich Davis of Second Chance shot himself with his body armor on hundreds of times starting in the 70s.
  7. Gorilla Tape is also pretty good.
  8. The "secret" of their "tumbling ammo" is the conical bullet. When a bullet enters any medium it starts to lose velocity. When it loses enough velocity and most of the mass (weight) of the bullet is at the base the bullet starts to flip as the base has more inertia. This happens with round nose and semiwadcutter bullets when they've lost enough velocity. It will happen sooner with a conical bullet because there is more mass at the base. The lighter the bullet the sooner this will happen. Just about any non-hollowpoint ammo will tumble if it loses enough velocity. This tumbling can be due to passage through a medium or loss of velocity through air when shot at long range and loss of stabilization. Tumbling can also be induced by using a rifling twist that is too slow. Examples? A 158 gr RNL std velocity bullet from a 38 special wIll tumble at close ranges A 200 gr RNL 38 special will tumble sooner. A 148 hollow base wad cutter won't because most of its weight is forward even though it's travelling slower. Conical bullets are often used by LE agencies in countries that don't allow them to use hollowpoints. You will never see NJ codify that use of hollowpoints for home defense i's legal. Possession of hollowpoints in your home is legal. Therefore if you use hollowpoints in a SD situation in your home that should be legal. If you are charged with a crime in relation to a home defense situation using hollowpoints IMO would be the least of your worries. There are a few ammo companies that load conical bullets. Fiocchi and PMC are two of them I believe. These and the Fort Scott are all FMJ bullets. I can't see anyone looking at them as anything else. If you don't want to use hollowpoints in your home defense firearms you will find conical bullets from other manufacturers cheaper. I have some Fiocchi 142 gr 357 with conical bullets I bought for $15 a box of 50 not long ago. I bought it not because of the conical bullet but because it was cheap 357 for practice.
  9. I am aware of that. I was referring to how the law was passed. Thanx for bringing that up.
  10. IIRC there is a separate line to pay your tax on out of state purchases.
  11. I read somewhere that Cuomo wanted a 5 Rd limit in NY. He was advised that because there are no commercially made 5 Rd magazines for most guns he would lose the whole thing. Ergo their "rationale" behind coming up with 10 Rd magazines loaded with no more than 7.
  12. That would easily be squashed by the courts. They opposition knows that. Where does one get a 5 Rd magazine for a 1911? Or a Glock?
  13. I will offer my help too. PM me if you're interested. A few people here can testify to my understanding Practice makes perfect. However if you practice making the same mistakes who will never come anywhere near perfection. The Army taught me how to shoot a rifle. I started out "self taught" with a handgun. I was pretty good. When I got some professional instruction I found out all the mistakes I was making. Took me some time to break those bad habits I had. If you don't know what you're doing wrong you'll never get better. Don't know the size of those targets. With any half decent 22 you should easily shoot about one inch groups at 25 yds. That's with iron sights. You should easily do that with a 3X scope. You have more than half way decent 22. PM me if you want help.
  14. If you want to "be all you can be" you strive for perfection. You most likely will not reach it but you might come close.
  15. I still have some reloads fromy 40 years ago I haven't shot yet. How they escaped consumption from my mutiple moves I don't know how.
  16. You apparently haven't looked at what Gunsitters cost. According to their website it would be $400 a month for a locker that holds up to 100 long guns. That's $2800 a month for 7 of these lockers or $33,600 a year. $268,800 for 8 years based on current pricing. The OP may be in upper management but charging that to an expense account will be noticed by the bean counters. Those upper upper management people who approve expenses will no doubt ask for some explaining. Gunsitters might be a solution for some situations. I don't think this is one of them.
  17. It was the rear sight. Screw that holds it for windage got loose and sight slid off. Put it back on. Ruger needs have something bigger than a 1/16" Allen screw holding it. I remedied it but Ruger needs to fix it. Minor design flaw. I still really like the gun.
  18. I was most impressed how easy it was to adapt to the trigger. As @Mrs. Peel said, it works for you that's the most important part.
  19. Phttp://nj1015.com/gun-saves-nj-girl-but-you-still-cant-carry-one-opinion/ This was being talked about on 101.5 today.
  20. I wouldn't laminate the papers. I'd put them in those plastic page protectors you can get at a office supply store. You do need to use the most current forms and the best place to get them is NJSP.org. If you're not working put down unemployed on the application. Employment is not a requirement to purchase or own firearms. Plus it's the truth.
  21. Not inaccurate. Click on your link and read the entire statute. The only transfer permitted in the statute is, "...to any person or firm entitled to possess...". The police would be violating this if they returned them. It is NOT a case of police being allowed to possess them. Read the entire statute.
  22. There should be more effort in getting dangerous people off the street. Gun buybacks give the impression they're doing something.
  23. Wow!!! Good thing that was posted 3 hours after my post. Can you find me an incident that happened 3 weeks or 3 years ago? The guy was wrong as he was trying to skirt the rules. The cops were wrong in confiscating the guns. However, being he wasn't complying with the rules he might consider himself lucky he wasn't arrested for illegal possession. Not a case of the police being permitted to possess the magazines. The law doesn't allow the police to transfer magazines to someone not permitted to have them. That's what it would be if they returned those to the owner. See @JackDaWack''s post above. Pretty much covers it.
  24. @flatfish NJ, being what it is, you have to read all the statutes to find out the exemptions. If you have no intention to buy guns or ammo andare content with directly to hunting, range, or FFL with only reasonable deviations you don't need the FPID. Use the forms from NJSP.org. You will need the ORI from the PD when you get fingerprinted. I've no idea what that costs now. Whenever I had any business for a FPID or P2P I've never had any one tell me who to return them to. I just gave them to the front desk or receptionist.
  25. FWIW no running was the rule on any military range I've shot on and that's been a few. No sense in having someone fall, sprain an ankle, or break a leg. That would really hold things up.
