There are extended fixed magazines out there for the SKS. These are available to get around states with laws defining an "assault weapon" as having a detachable magazine. Few of them worked I've been told. You can take a stock SKS and put anything you want on it in NJ. Folding stock, bayonet, flash surpressor, etc because it has a fixed magazine of 10 rds.

I believe the amendments everyone is talking about are those amending 2C39-1. These amendments are those underlined parts in the copy of the bill on the link I gave above. There is registration and $50 fee for a firearm WITH A FIXED MAGAZINE HOLDING MORE THAN 10 ROUNDS. Can't think of any but there is probably something out there. It also wouldn't surprise me if the NJ legislature outlawed something that doesn't exist. This does not apply to your Glock, SIG, Beretta, AR, AK, or anything with a detachable magazine.

We'll see.

I don't think NJ.com bothered to read the bill the assembly passed. There is nothing that says registration or a $50 fee in the bill. I read it on the NJ Legislature website. http://www.njleg.state.nj.us/2018/Bills/A3000/2761_I1.HTM

I see nothing in the law about registering magazines.

Makes sense to me too.

I see nothing in the bills that passed the assembly today regarding registration of any handgun. If I missed it enlighten me. Bills still need to be passed by the Senate and signed by the governor before they are law. They will probably be law in a few days.

You're being quite unimaginative. What kind of threat you're dealing with dictates what you need. That also impacts on organization of your defense force Tiny armies like the one you propose are more often used to control the population. If you don't keep your defense force busy they also serve as a place to develop the overthrow of the king or dictator. Small arms in the military means stuff the infantry carries. That includes grenade launchers, squad automatic weapons, machine guns, light mortars and light antiarmor weapons. Antiarmor weapons can be useful for other purposes. Not everyone needs a rifle and a sidearm. Doctors, truck drivers, supply clerks, and others don't need both. The Tavor has been around for almost 20 years. The M16/M4 has been around for almost 60 and proven in all environments and has plenty of users that are satisfied (including Israel). If you want to buy your weapons for $10,000,000 you can go to China. Get rifles, pistols, machine guns, mortars, and everthing else you need for light infantry at that price. I'm sure they'll throw in enough RPGs. If you want to get your weapons free or at bargain prices align yourself with some major power, the US, China, or Russia. You need to imagine that there are plenty of even third world countries having armed forces that can roll over your defense force if they choose.

Get them M4s and Glock 19s. Everyone doesn't need both. Plenty of change left over in your stated budget that could be used for other things.

What is the nature of threat? You would also need support weapons. Crew served machine guns, at least some mortars, anti-armor capability, some air defense weapons, and some artillery. You'll never beat off invaders with just small arms.

Maybe less difference with an optic. That's just a guess though.

The closer the range the less difference there will be. The bigger the target the less any difference makes. IIRC there was little, if any difference when you shot my rifles.

Maybe. Scout/snipers in the military often trade off roles. Zero may not be exactly the same for each but "close enough for government work". LE really can't accept a slight variation in zero for liability reasons. The only way to find out is to try it out.

Pistols are also useful when your long gun goes dry and they are still coming...and a lot of other reasons.

Feeling may come back. There's a medical term for how blood vessels and nerves figure out how to reconnect. Can't remember it now.

Not really. Slugs tend to want to keep on penetrating. Buckshot will tend to ricochet. Less likely with pure lead. More likely with hardened lead

No legal problem I can see. You're storing a gun in a gun. 99% of the time that's true. But there's that 1%. While I'm not usually one for gimmicks I can see utility in this. If a shotgun is your primary HD gun when you grab one outfitted with this you have your backup gun already with you. Slower than drawing from a holster? Sure, but if you're awakened in the middle of the night it saves the time of putting a holster on. Downside is if you lose your long gun you've lost all of them. Nothing is 100%. I think I've seen this for ARS too. Definitely concealed. Anyway you look at it. Unless you're carrying the handgun unloaded as its in a secured (not locked) case. Something to consider for a HD gun though.

Then there is no issue whatsoever.

IMO the situation described by the OP doesn't need Gun Sitters. If you have a verbal contract with someone who will not be able to access your guns it's the same as if you rented a storage unit. However, if one is someone has enough paranoia about this spend your money at Gun Sitters.

IMO you're okay if you take the guns to wherever and as long as no one has the combo to your safe you're okay. It would be the same as taking your guns to a storage facility. As long as no one else has the combination and your friend won't say something else if questioned. A verbal contract is just as binding as a written one. No need for a phony baloney $1 a month lease agreement.

Have done several transactions with Jack and chalked up another today. Good deal, great service!

You need a 357 revolver.

Think of all the children that have been saved because we can't have a pistol grip on a semiautomatic shotgun!!!

Thank AVB. You also might want to add "War as I Knew It" by Patton. There's also a collection of poems Patton wrote during WW2. The editor includes notes on the setting each poem was written. This provides an interesting perspective. I noted to read the unabridged version of Rommel's book. There was an abridged version that was circulated among US Army officers as they didn't want them to adopt some of Rommel's ideas.

The Art of War by Sun Tzu. Keep on mind there are various translations as Tex pointed out. All are good IMO though. Book of the 5 Rings by Miyamoto Musashi (available as a free download) On War by Carl Clausewitz Infantry Attacks by Erwin Rommel (make sure you read the unabridged version)
