23# main spring... dang, what's the trigger pull on that gun?

For the pepper spray folks. Are nj le restricted to the same concentrations as the common folk can buy?

Something new that will likely become rare. Boberg XR9. Lots of novelty value, well made. Not necessarily the best idea. Also in general, anything that has gone up in price due to scarcity, but that people still use. As mentioned, the S&W 610 is a potential there. It commands a premium, but plenty of buyers are shooting them rather than hiding them away. H&K p7m10 in .40 might be on the opposite end of that line. The rarer p7 guns are starting to be socked away as collector items. Not sure how much upside they'll have.

While it is clear the government is overreaching on their powers, and arguably slowly descending into fascism, the emphasis is on slowly. They are clearly flushing the constitution down the drain in order to be able to deal with insurgents, and selectively regulating industries for the benefit of the leadership. However, nothing they are doing is remotely geared for massive civil war. Most of that video has been around for a while. They just keep editing it. Pretty much all of the claims attributed to the "informant" have been debunked harshly. Even if taken at face value, the qualities of arms and ammunition being ordered are grossly insufficient to deal with a massive civil war. We all know most of the crap going on is bad. However, it isn't even close to the state needed to wage war broadly against large geographic areas. IMO most of the bad we are seeing form the government is coincidental on that vector. They want to keep their wealth and power. That means protecting their ultra rich buddies who help them fleece the majority of the population, and it means trying to keep a system they keep undermining stable. They view the route to this is to hand themselves ever more power with ever decreasing accountability. To reach the point of massive civil war, you will need to see a number of significant changes in the power structure or laws. I think the shortest path to that are acts of domestic terrorism where the actors fit the role of insurgent rather than belligerent. Without a change of behavior with regards to governing and handling of the economy relative to the majority of voters, I think you will see more incidents that could easily be labeled insurgent acts as time goes on. IMO the power brokers both government and private sector are deeply ensconced in denial about what they have done to the economy, and how much they can continue to rely on Keynesian economic theory at this point. Their actions are futile attempts to do something that might be useful to them remaining at the top of the socio-economic scoreboard while pretending they didn't break the game. A focused plan with a goal will look WAY different than what you are seeing now. Do I think the people making these video see wrongdoing on behalf of the government? Yes. Do I think that sentiment is justified? Yes. However, I think their conclusions are conspiracy theory. Mainly of the type that tries to oversimplify the cause of the symptoms into something that makes some degree of sense without having to put much thought or education into it.

As it is worded it would have had catastrophic effects on pension investment. It prohibits investment in a lot of large retailers, several gun manufacturers, and any and all funds and annuities that hold them. It probably also could prohibit investment in any commercial real estate funds that lease to them. Possibly ban investment in shipping companies/facilities that move their stuff around, etc. This would seriously hinder a troubled pension system and increase administrative overhead.

European cities and towns tend to be much more walkable, and more people walk. It makes a HUGE difference in how one metabolizes the modern diet. There is also a distinct difference in how baked wheat products are made which can contribute as well, although that is starting to go away very rapidly. I'd also say from the Europeans I have met that until recently they hadn't stigmatized high fat foods nearly as much as we have. Combine that with smaller portions, and it actually allows one to get full on less food and combined with the above, generates less cravings.

Seriously, people should lighten up. I could take a jab at TM not knowing anything due to his claim on the weight of the ELCAN being heavy. Compared to a red dot, yes. Compared to most any 1-4 stuck in a larue spr-e or either of the two american defense extended cantilever mounts? Not really. You are tlaking at least 16 oz for the scope (probably more), plus another 8oz or so for the mount. Which is right in line with the elcan. Aimpoint and a magnifier? Runs about 20 oz. depending on your mount (assuming you want one where the scope is not in your pocket and can still get out of the way). Yeah, they are all heavier than a straight up red dot, but it's not remotely the same kind of optic then. And if you think 23oz is heavy, don't put a decent mount anywhere near the 1-8 USO that Shane talks about, it might start warping space time near it. All I can tell you for certain about magnifying optics for run and gun stuff is you want a generous eye box, you want a decent FOV at max magnification, and you want it to hold zero even if it gets banged around. Everything else is more or less ergonomics, and thus personal preference.

There was video of one of them swinging a club in the general direction of people who wanted to vote while making racial comments. At least one account of them driving off one person for being white, and doing so with threats of violence. Dropping the charges was not cool. This was not simply being at the polling place armed.

I think everyone also thought we'd have the decision on this case by now, so.... doubt you will see direction before that happens. Then of course we have so many other avenues to sue over as well. If the new bills pass, even more as we don't have to have anyone go break a law to demonstrate harm as you start with a huge pile of legally non-compliant people. We are going to have to pick our targets, and everything is in flux right now. The current choice has been to challenge the vote rigging in law and public safety.

ditto. Also the quantity on most of them are abit low quantity wise. I'd use the .223 and .40, but I have a buttload of .223 at the moment, and it's not enoguh .40 to bother with driving someplace. I'd separate out by caliber, and offer to ship flat rate box for cost of shipping on top of asking price. Might give you better luck. Someone might be interested int he .38 special pretty quick, but unless they need the other stuff, $170 for 1800 isn't a good deal. I can get 2000ct same headstamp for $165. And that's the most attractive chunk of the deal all the rest are much worse unless their needs match your selection real well.

And what will really happen is you will be offered a plea that eliminates your 2A rights right off the bat and they will try to bully you into it. That's the SOP as far as I can tell for the generally law abiding type who gets screwed on just compliance details. Lawyer up and don't take that deal. I also know several people who are still NJ eligible after going through that crap. You get snagged while breaking other laws... well, sucks to be you.

Dude, when I started, I was getting 1000 plated 230 gr .45 heads for $38. That was 10 years ago. When I started shooting .40 in 2006, I was getting 180 gr plated berry's for $40 shipped. HEck, a year ago, 2k at a time from one place I like for 180gr .40 was $97k per .40 shipped. Now it is $125.

Component cables and RCA cables are the same connector. Component should have better shielding, but that depends on whose RCA cables you have. 97% of mine were free and wouldn't do video well, but I do have some really good ones that will do component just fine. Still prefer HDMI for ease of use, especially given the HDCP crap.

So who finally told them it was over. They didn't seem to get the hint from everyone walking out the door.

You are loading light, you'll probably be able to shoot them until the head stamp wears off if the primer pockets make it that long. For .40 in full power loads, I don't worry. They either get lost, or due to the belling I give them to not shave plated bullets, the mouth splits before anything else wears out. Usually get lost well before then though.

They should your pics of the packaging were not how my press came years ago. Mine had cardboard inserts to keep stuff from moving to much and to protect bits from impact. The last few years hornady has been delivering more and more stuff without all the bits. Given the current situation, I can imagine they are omitting packaging because they expect it to be on a pallet to retail and sell off the floor.

My take is you need to be supporitng a national group, a local group, and a judicial group. I'm a member of the NRA, GOA, SAF, and NJ2AS. I'm no longer giving money to ANJRPC, I have watched them for years fail to do much of anything noticeable. They will have to convince me otherwise. I don't contribute to the coalition of NJ sportsmen because it has become clear that they have relegated themselves to a specific niche that does not cover my interests and I'd rather spend my money elsewhere.

Under the provisions and regulatory advice of the federal AWB, I would agree with you. However NJ law has never been that clear cut, and administrative advice on the matter has changed over time. However, your advice would mean nobody should own a glock 19 mag or a 15 round M&P 40 mag as they are a replacement floor plate away from not being in compliance. and thus their 15 round spiritual essence is constantly in peril from sinful temptations of after market accessories. Yes, your position is more easily dependable in court, but at the same time, it is more restrictive than state law has clearly permitted to date. With a tig welder, some hand tools, and some skill, no magazine has a fixed volume. That being said, the OPs idea of capacity reducing floor plates are not necessarily a good idea. if someone takes issue with them you better be prepared for a hard defense and have ABSOLUTLEY no parts remotely arguable as belonging to you that could be used to show constructive intent.

I'll give you my take. Book cases they can be damn good on. Most other outlets are either way more expensive for something better built, or not much less for something way less sturdy. Things like desks and basic tables they are worth a look at. Mainly because they service a price point with enough simplicity to be able to bump up the material quality for the same price. Lots of their lamps and accessories are competitive and unlike a lot of the furniture chains, it won't be the exact same thing you saw in every other store. Couches and bed frames I don't think that have particularly good value on. Dressers can be a mixed bag. Same thing with area rugs, end tables, coffee tables, entertainment center stuff, etc. If you have to pay for delivery, it all pretty much loses the price advantage. They are pretty low on the deceptive practices and salesman duchebaggery though, which some people place value on.

I've tried to be involved in many attempts at RKBA in the past in NJ. NJ2AS is the best run, least dysfunctional so far IMO. Without you being more specific about what rubs you the wrong way about them, all we can do is guess about the issues you worry about. I'll take a guess. 1) Too republican. This is pretty much going to be a basic spectrum thing. RKBA is seen as very right in this state where quite a few of our republican politicians would have a hard time making the cut for a slot on a democratic ticket for being a bit too left in other states. I may have come to the NJ2AS a bit later than many, but I have yet to see them blindly endorse one party or another. The closest to that is the vote them all out sentiment I've seen thrown about. That happens to be a statement that implies tossing a lot of dems out on their kiesters, but that's because the democrat machine has a stranglehold on the state. Like most things RKBA, they are going to skew republican in an uphill battle where the hill is composed of predominantly democrat antis. I'm pretty confident any perception of this is driven from the environment rather than the organization. 2) Too tea party. Look, you want to start talking constitutional issues, what other group do you have in NJ that you can gain some momentum from? As a semi formal group, have they been represented more in mailing announcements than other groups? Perhaps, but I would largely say that is only the case if you regard any attempt to roll out the membership that doesn't brace you for outright confrontation as being an invitation to go there and nod and agree with each other. 3) Too Jesusy. They seem to promote lots of talks with groups that are very religious. For some people guns and god go together, for others, not so much. you don't like them, don't go. Can you really expect them to ignore religious conservatives as a demographic for RKBA? There's significant cross over on the issue, and even if you are just going to the enemy of my enemy is my friend, you can't really escape it. I will say that in public they make an effort to keep in mind that appealing to god given rights is potentially divisive, and try to keep to the natural rights approach. That being said, I can understand treading the fine line. It's a voting block you can't afford to leave on the table when they are pretty primed to be driven to the polls in this state already. Especially if you want to get the racial makeup of the issue to be broader. You want to pick up black and latino individuals that will get up there and speak and come with some demographic credentials that politicians will listen to (i.e. an audience made up of the right kind of people), you aren't going to likely have to go conservative and religious. That being said, the religiously affiliated folk (i.e. priest and paster types) who have been rolled out to speak have not spoken for my beliefs as a blanket statement simply because I have guns. The rank and file is a different matter. I have no use for religion. From what I have seen of the NJ2AS presence in public, I can say that from the leadership end of things, while I do get the vibe that they hold significant religious beliefs, they try to keep it non-denominational and try to keep in mind that atheists and the non-religious are worth a vote just as much as anyone else. If you are atheist type who takes insult in anyone believing in a god or being religious, then yes, you will probably be insulted. You will definitely find rank and file who clearly believe in a god, a specific one at that, and walk around assuming everyone agrees with them, so it is pretty much like anyplace else. Your choices are ANJRPC, NJ2AS, and New Jersey State Federation of Sportsmen's Clubs. The Second Amendment Foundation, on the national level, does not see us as invisible, but to date they are no more obviously active than ANJRPC as far as I can tell, and quite probably significantly less active if you take court cases out of the activism mix. On a local level, they are the only group that seems ot be making a serious attempt to convince people that gun owners are also voters and law abiding individuals with rights that might also sue you over bad legislation, and they are more effective and less broken than groups that have tried to do that in the past.

No it isn't, but the image is zoomed anyway, otherwise it would be a negative multiplier for image size. SO they just zoom into the portion that would be where you would be zeroed. It's a poor idea in my opinion and will be lacking in pretty much anything you want out of an optic.

Didn't read the books, but they added a lot to the torture portion so the actor would be in for the season. They dind't want the audience forgetting him, and as they have covered in many interviews, one of the things they had to do throughout is try and get the narrative for any major characters that linger into contiguous chunks. It's pretty hard to get someone to commit to two seasons on, two off, and than three more.

I usually hit it with a couple dots of vibratite.

The really nice thing about speed strips is they aren't too expensive, so you haven't wasted too much money when you buy one try it, and realize that a handful of randomly oriented bullets might have been faster. Mostly a joke. They are slow and awkward, and some are made badly enough that the above might actually be true. Speed strips are not a good answer for anything, but they are a means of organizing pistol ammo in one's bag/pocket/etc.

Black bears and reasonably sized people are not going to get into it over the bear wanting to eat you. Territory and panic are entirely different matters though. If one starts pacing you while you are walking, be very concerned. If you create a situation where you have created no exit for the bear (i.e. blocked one into a garage), you want to be not doing that ASAP. Also be concerned about any atypical behavior. Typically they want to leave you alone and be left alone. If they are doing other things atypically, I wouldn't count on that one holding either.
