That's debatable.

Ray I remember some bullseye shooters using these in the 70s. Never had much interest in these because I never had much interest in bullseye competition.

M1s weren't around then. It was a matchlock.

Keep in mind you're going to have to get sales tax certificate, business licenses, liability insurance, and a bunch of other things to set yourself up as a business.

Not impossible to work out of your house. All depends on zoning laws.

Nothing wrong with a 9mm. You're not losing anything. FWIW I've been a 45 fan since the 60s. I shoot a lot more 9 than I do 45.

At the least that would be leaving a loaded firearm unattended.

That was pretty stupid on his part. Things like that are not unique to LEOs in most of America though.

State corrections officers have police powers in NJ IIRC. That would give them 24/7/365 carry. Someone correct me if I'm wrong. If a corrections officer has the power to arrest they could carry under LEOSA even if the arrest power is limited.

True, RPO permits are handled by NJSP. They are valid for one year and qualification is twice per calendar year at least 3 months apart not every 6 months.

Retired cops don't need to show "justifiable need". They do not apply for their carry permit through the chief and a judge. Their application goes straight to NJSP

You are correct. Term was in use in the 80s to my experience. Take a M16 or AR, punch out the serial number on the magazine well, and you have a "ghost gun".

No problem shipping to yourself. Addressed to you and they are legal in NJ as 10x said.

Use Mobil 1 synthetic grease on Garands. Doesn't thicken up in cold.

Military ranges often have fires started by tracers and other munitions expended. A real PITA as if a fire starts it needs to be monitored and all ranges have to be shut down so Range Control can go put out the fire. If it's very dry the military will shut down ranges not only for tracers but other types of ammo. They are very good at controlling this. If they weren't range fires at Fort Dix would have burned the Pine Barrens down years ago. If you really want to see a range fire start easy fire an illumination artillery round that doesn't burn out while still in the air as it should.

Tracers do no more harm to a barrel than conventional ammo. The tracing compound doesn't ignite until the bullet is several feet from the muzzle.

I think the loaded magazine thing came from an out of state case (CA?) where a guy was arrested for that. Can't remember the details but he got off that bs charge. If you're transporting your firearm to a location you're "permitted" to have hollow points there is no reason your magazines can't be loaded with them.

Going out when you dont have to with the risk of hypothermia and frostbite is Marine mentality.

Yeah.

Ruger tried to pump up the Mini 14 to 7.62 NATO back in the 70s. It didn't work and never hit the market. A 9mm carbine can't be pumped up to 5.56 or 7.62x39 without drastically changing the design. If you want a 5.56 or 7.62x39 get a Mini 14 or Mini 30.

I gotta couple more than that but I've been around some time.

I think the reason they picked Glock is because they have the biggest chunk of the police market.

Your relative needs to bring the shotgun to the FFL.

Don't change springs. I think John Browning knew what's best. Changing springs brings many more issues. An item for another thread. Last time I looked (maybe 50 years ago) Colt listed the same part number for a Govt Model and a Gold Cup spring I actually started learning handgun shooting with a 1911 about 10,000 mIles from NJ. The 1911is not that hard a gun to learn. Get over that wussy boy crap. Mrs. Peel handles a steel frame 1911 quite well. Including a 1918 Colt. A 1911 with 230 gr hardball is easier to learn than a 357 in a k or l frame.

If you have established a residence in NJ there is no reason you can't keep a firearm there as long as it's NJ legal. Establishing a residence has nothing to do with who pays the mortgage/rent, utilities, etc. It means you live there a portion of the time. You can do this and that can happen.
