  1. Good news! The AG's office must have tried to twist the law every which way but could find no reason to deny sales.
  2. I used the AUG for over about 10 years. I pretty much liked it but over time found many issues with it. We went back to the M16/M4 platform. You can get two pretty nice ARS for asking price of a AUG or AUG clone. You'd be ahead IMO. Unless you have to have an AUG or AUG clone.
  3. M14 and M1A are calibrated in meters. Everything the Army has done since at least the 60s (to my knowledge) is metric. I've been told by people who seem to know, AFAIC, you can swap rear sights between the M1 (calibrated in yards) and a M14/M1A (calibrated in meters). I know a guy who shoots Service Rifle and has an M1 sight on his M1A because those matches are shot in yards. Your calculations for zeroing seem to make sense. I can't really say everything is correct without knowing what load you're using. However remember at ranges under say 300 yds or meters the point of impact isn't much different if you're mixing yards and meters. Well within usefulness for serious social situations but you want to be more accurate in target competition. A meter is about 10% longer than a yard. 25 meters is about 27.5 yds. Not much difference. Standard military sights move the impact about 1" at 100. So at 25 that's 1/4". The ballistics of 7.62 NATO and M2 Ball are just about the same. The important thing is once you do a 25 yd or meter zero for 200 yds or meters is to confirm it at the longer range. I've seen too many people zero their rifle at a 25 yd indoor range and think everything is good.
  4. It may not be worth it unless you go to DC often. It appears DC will requie their permit to carry in DC. I doubt states will enter into reciprocity agreements will DC if DC won't recognize their permit. Unless collecting permits to carry is your hobby.
  5. Read 2332. It says a license to carry by any state. No mention of resident or non-resident.
  6. I've never hunted animals but killed a few when required. Most venison I've tasted like crap. I will eat venison harvested and prepared by only three guys I know. IMO it's not only how it's cooked but what's done with it immediately after the deer is killed.
  7. Under LEOSA he is. Under NJ State law he's not. There are several considerations. One example is if say he has a unintentional discharge carrying hollowpoints and the situation winds up with him being charged with some, even minor, crime. He can be charged with the hollow points then regardless what LEOSA says. LEOSA doesn't immunize one from criminal law other than carrying. He has to decide what he wants to abide by.
  8. Canadian Bacon is bacon cut from the back much leaner than what we normally call bacon which is cut from the belly. Canadian bacon is more like a pork loin. Pork Roll is a finely chopped concoction made from mysterious cuts of pork. Add bacon to that sandwich and you have a real winner
  9. Federal law always supercedes state law. State law can be more restrictive but not contrary to Federal law. The Federal government itself is not subject to state or local jurisdiction. LEOSA starts out saying "notwithstanding any state or local law" (paraphrasing). That means the only state laws that count are the ones we say do. The only state laws mentioned are those restrictions carry on property and in buildings owned by the state or local government or restrictions put on by private property owners. LEOSA specifically addresses it's okay to carry hollow points under LEOSA as PK90 stated. Some time ago I saw a letter from the NJ AG outlining LEOSA. All seemed well until he said that LEOSA didnt apply to retired LEOs living in NJ and they must get a Retired Police Officer permit ($50 a year to the state). NJ AG also said no one carrying under LEOSA can carry hollowpoints. Now IANAL but that pretty much sounds pretty contradictory to me. So the way I see it if one gets their NJ RPO Permit (the qualification is good for LEOSA, I carry a reduced copy of my qual form in my wallet) and wants to carry hollowpoints you're then carrying under LEOSA not your NJ RPO Permit. Carrying a copy of the qual for is required as LEOSA as you need proof of qualification in the past year of the type of handgun you're carrying. LEOSA has been around like 15 years or so. I've known of guys carrying under LEOSA that have been in shooting situations using hollowpoints and not prosecuted for anything.
  10. Taylor Ham is pork roll but all pork roll is not Taylor Ham. The only pork roll I knew as a kid was made by Taylor and everyone still called it Taylor Ham. I can't remember when I first saw any other than Taylor but still called it Taylor Ham. That was at least 100 years ago.
  11. Because hot dogs can be made of just about anything as long as the ingredients are listed. Totally different thing.
  12. I think it was originally sold as "Taylor Ham" but the FDA or someone made them stop because although it's pork it's not ham.
  13. I have an Uberti SAA for about 10 years now. The only departure from the Colt design is the cylinder pin safety (which I don't use). It's well made and proven durable and accurate. I got it on 357 as I didn't want to stock or reload another caliber. Something you might want to consider.
  14. This is another example of taking advantage of any tragedy. I see this more of a ploy by the Democrats to further polarize Americans. I'm sure Trump would support any reasonable legislation designed to prevent firearms from being acquired by the wrong people and punish those that use them in crimes. Trump will not support legislation that would impact on American's rights. This is one of the issues that got him elected. Democrat's ultimate idea of "reasonable" is no private ownership of firearms. When Trump makes no concession to the Democrats on this issue, they will whine, "we reached across the aisle to the President". This is an old tactic in the Democrat's playbook.
  15. You decide if its 6 o'clock or point of impact as others have said. IMO 6 o'clock is better for target (competition) shooting and POI is better for combat shooting. Just my preference, YMMV. If you want the sight drum to agree with your zero, zero at any known distance, say 200 yds, with M2 Ball. Use either POI or 6 o'clock. Dont pay attention to what the sight drum says while you're doing this. M1 sights are calibrated to move POI 1" at 100 yds. Once you have that 200 yd zero, rotate the sight drum down and count the clicks. This is insurance so you know where you're supposed to be at 200 yds. Once you've done this, elevate the sight to your 200 yd zero. Now loosen the screw in the center of the sight drum so it rotates freely and set it at 200 yd. Tighten it back down and lower the sight to ensure you are at the same number of clicks you counted before. If its the same number of clicks, rotate drum the same number of clicks up and the sight drum should say 200 yds. This is the mechanical zero Nickjc is talking about. If you are low and to the right and on paper at 200 yds you can start from there. You need to make a windage adjustment to the left. Same as elevation, 1" per click. If you zero for 6 o'clock on an 8" bullseye, 4 clicks down should give you POI. If you zero for POI, 4 clicks up will give you a 6 o'clock. Most use a 3 rd group to zero. Some use an 8 rd group with a M1. I use a 4 rd group. As the barrel heats up, groups may drift. As the range increases groups may drift to the left or right depending on the direction of the twist. I'm talking maybe 5-600 yds or more for that. I don"t generally shoot that far but have had to make those corrections for artillery.
  16. Some time ago I heard the "take your time in hurry".

    BTW, in using sunlight to sanitize water the container should be made of a clear material, at least on the one side you expose to the sunlight. Actually most commercial water bottles are ideal for using for sanitizing water with sunlight.
  18. GRIZ replied to Zeke's topic in NJ Prepared
    Yeah but....you'll also need something to kill all the creepie crawlies that are still on the interior of the canteen. If you've filled your canteen with water through a straw, into your mouth and then into your canteen and run into potable water you can just add the potable water to your canteen(s). If there's enough potable water you can dump the water that you put through the straw and refill with potable. If just put water in your canteen or water bladder to suck through a straw you will still have all kinds of bugs crawling around on the inside. You really would need to have something to sanitize the inside of your canteen. Don't know what they use now but they used to have an empty water bladder and halazone tablets in an aircrew survival vest. The water bladder was clear. Survival school taught if you had no other way to sanitize water let the water bladder lay in the sun for 5-6 hours. The heat and UV light will kill just about anything nasty in that water. Just some things to keep in mind.

    @Zeke you could wash it if you had clean water to wash it.
  20. GRIZ replied to Zeke's topic in NJ Prepared
    True but of you come into a source of potable water to fill your canteen it become non-potable once you add it to your canteen. As an experiment fill a container with lake, river, or stream water. Let it sit in the dark but outside in warm weather for a few days (or even a few hours if the water is skanky enough) and see the amount of extra crud that accummulates. I've seen this happen when guys would fill canteens figure they'd put in the halazone tablets later.
  21. GRIZ replied to Zeke's topic in NJ Prepared
    Yeah you can but I don't want that crappy water floating around in my canteen.
  22. GRIZ replied to Zeke's topic in NJ Prepared
    Another area where a pump filter shInes is in filling a canteen. If all you have is a straw you have to "suck it up" and spit the water into your canteen. If you're thirsty enough it's not going to bother you.
  23. GRIZ replied to Zeke's topic in NJ Prepared
    Depends on which one. They usually have a capacity marked on it or the packaging. Says something like "up to" so many liters. The reason for that is if you're putting really dirty water through it it will get clogged sooner.
  24. Where does all this paranoia cone from? Your quoted idea will cost you transfer fees and shipping fees. Save the transfer fees and just ship them to yourself as PK90 says. Who is moving your stuff? I'm sure you're not moving with just a couple of suitcases. Movers can legally move guns for you. I don't know how many guns you have but flying them there can get pretty expensive. I've gone through Newark lots of times with no problems. If that concerns you fly out of Philadelphia. I know you don't want to but the easiest option is just to drive. Transport the guns IAW FOPA. When I've moved with guns I've always just taken them in my car.
