You've been bitching about the same stuff for a while. Lots of other folks seem to be able to keep abreast of what is going on. Maybe you need to put a little more effort in. You should have gotten a CNJFO blast 10/24. It was about contact your reps. Why? Because the pending bills are the current top focus for action by the rank and file. Previously they said they wanted people to notify them of carry permit issues. Because they need to gather data and potential plaintiffs for a suit. They may not spell it out, but if you need it spelled out, there may be no helping your feeling that you don't know what is going on. If you didn't see it, check your spam filters and make sure they are on the list for bypassing spam. If you are an OBRPC member, attend the board meetings via zoom. They will have a segment on current actions and any news, but you have to be a member. Dunno if CJRPC has the same. Similarly you can sit through the gun for hire segments they publish. And if you don't like the way the people doing the work do it, feel free to start your own.

They aren't silent. They just aren't saying it in public forums like this. You are noticing your lack of involvement and investment in staying on top of things, not the failure of others to do things. Probably the most publicly accessible venue where you might see stuff are the gun for hire podcasts/videos. I've been involved in this crap for decades now, but don't have the free time I used to. I'd take the current strategy over the much more vocal folks who came before and could barely get out of their own way. If you know how to do it better, go out and start suing people. It's been done before, some of them even semi competently. But for all your bitching about being in the dark, have you ever reached out to any of the orgs and volunteered? No? Your level of involvement affects how information flows to you. Or not.

Rent boy didn't like his tip.

Making your plans public is the same as telling your opposition your plans. It's being worked on. Everyone knows it involves gathering data and suing. In NJ, until the new batch of bad laws passes, we are dealing with a more complex legal challenge about patterns of behavior and what is actually happening vs what's actually written in the law. Stonewalling and slow walking things is a much harder thing to successfully sue over than a black and white law in violation. This may all just accelerate and be much more clear when they pass the new laws that give Bruen the middle finger. Then lumping in what was observed on the ground becomes an add on.

While I figured this was coming, someone needs to be going through the process in order to have a plaintiff with standing. Myself I opted out and wrote a check to those who do the suing. If you aren't applying, but would if not for this BS, you should be writing a check to FPC, ANJRPC, etc. You'd think, and federal judges thought so too. But the second circuit seems to think it doesn't deserve an injunction. So.. not feeling confident the third circuit will see it differently.

Well I'm 100% behind FFLs saying no and dropping UPS. This common carrier BS is going to be rough in NJ. The answer would be to ship through FFLs via USPS for things like warranty, but I believe that creates a transfer situation in NJ that is a huge PITA.

If you read through a lot of NJ law and regulations, you will see very much that first and foremost citizens are considered property of the state. From their perspective the criminal murdering you is just as problematic as you killing that criminal in self defense. You are both damaging their property. You are just as great an evil in their eyes as the murderer.

I’d see an actual allergist and actual dust control if you don’t already have it.

If a papr aint doing it, it may not be able to be done. The only step after that is a papr with external air supply from fresh air.

Sunlight + z06 has carbon ceramic rotors I believe.

Eh. If you are looking to kill the bad guy by sepsis, sure. But every time I see someone talk about 22 for defense I think of this case of a jewelry store robbery. I forget if was an 8 or 10 round revolver, but the jewelry store owner got the bad guy with 8 rounds and got the first shot. The bad guy had a centerfire pistol (IIRC a .38 special) and missed with most rounds. The bad guy went to the hospital, the good guy went to the morgue. If you can't operate a 9mm well, you probably aren't operating a 22 great. And if you aren't using those features of the 22 to get shots to the brain or heart, the bad guy is probably going to do what they try to do until the adrenalin runs out. Once you have to move beyond brandishing, there's going to be a problem unless you are really lucky or really good or enough of both.

I can guarantee you it won’t be easy to turn it into jack shit. The digital part may be new, but we’ve done the backed by a physical item thing, and it’ll be a mess. There’s an inherent issue with pulling enough of a thing of value out of the global economy in as volume large enough to represent the global economy.

What did they make in house, it’s not their bolts, carriers or barrels, that’s been fine over publicly with receipts.

There's one reason why you would do this if you are the US. To Increase the price of natural gas and make a profit. The answer is to saying that's not a good explanation would naturally be... but greedy bankers!!!! There's about a hundred reasons you wouldn't do this if you are the US. The least of it is losing the midterms and presidency as inflation and fuel prices become the number one issue for voters. In there you also have the issue that it keeps inflation high. Which means even more interest rate hikes past the ~5% total the fed has been hinting at. These would be very bad for banker types, and they generally like having a predictable number to plan around even if that number is undesirable as an absolute. Another is that it strengthens Russia's negotiating position. For Russia, you get plausible deniability while increasing your non-nuclear options for forcing capitulation of NATO countries and crushing Ukrainian resistance by killing their support. Nobody will believe it, but they won't be able to prove anything sufficiently to justify escalation. This is the least stupid scenario, but it's still kind of stupid. The issue here is that we don't trust that are government isn't run by evil morons.

Well, yes, you can do more damage, but you already had to be pretty dmaged or using bad hearing protection. Like cheap electronic muffs and the dogshit surefire plugs that peak at like 24bd NRR if they are closed and seal properly and are more like 12 if they don't, aren't going to be great protection despite being better than either alone. If you ahve fitment issues with either or both, you are exposed to total gabage. I typically wear NRR30-33 foam plugs. They work well. They don't work well enough when ROing loud ass open guns indoors. I put some cheap electroni howard leights over them, and that does the trick. But I start with the strongest base and improve them. Worst case if I make the muffs gap is I have 30db NRR for the plugs intermittently rather than continuously. But also, it can just be that your brain does a lot of filtering out of your tinnitus, and hearing protection can make it more noticeable and it takes time for your brain to get back to filtering 100%. That should not be 5 days later though. Another possibility is that you have ear issues, and ear plugs cause you problems. Infection or inflammation can push on things and aggravate tinnitus. Mine is always more annoying when I have a bad cold and stuffy ears. Even if it is just that I can't hear actual things as well. The tinnitus isn't an actual sound, so it isn't attenuated by that kind of thing when everything else is. Yes, shooting rifles can somewhat bypass hearing protection via bone conduction with the stock. Shooting pistols should not. Shooting outdoors is so much nicer than indoors. By a lot.

That is.. extremely old news. We are already seeing the food show up at stores that that news applied to. That was september 2021. We did set new highs this year, but they are tapering already and were more like 10% over the old highs. This isn't the global market, but it is illustrative.

So what's everyone's bet on if DE takes on for the team or appeals it?

Lube isn't the hard part. It's the P part that is a bit of a pain. How is it at corrosion protection?

Allocated? $274,000 Actually spent $3.50.

We might see something soon in terms of legal timescale. We won't see anything son in terms of gun buying time scale.

Could just be when they restock. I just did a Costco run about an hour ago. Produce was cut back to a more limited selection, but stocked. Dairy was full up as was all the meat. Beef was going back up in price again, but the boneless skinless chicken breasts were back to $3.49 a pound from $3.99. Ground beef was up to $3.99 a lb though. Nice looking pork loin was still &1.99 a pound.

From the article: ” The undersigned is left with a strong sense of the safety that a licensed concealed handgun regularly provides, or would provide, to the many law-abiding responsible citizens in the state too powerless to physically defend themselves in public without a handgun,” Suddaby wrote. He was in favor of the plaintiff’s arguments that the “good character” requirement was based on “vague, subjective criteria.” The judge also disagreed with the state including a list of locations barring gun owners from carrying in “sensitive” locations, which he said includes places that are “nonsensitive by nature.”” If you read the actual decision, it covers huge swaths of the law calling them incongruent with bruen and not likely to prevail at trial.

Not upheld. The judge basically said most of the law is garbage and would not survive an actual trial. It was dismissed for lack of standing. I don’t know why they didn’t grab a plaintiff with a permit and attach some money damages for making the permit useless.

BCM basically stopped making guns. I mean go look for one on their site. Of their resellers, I haven't seen one in stock in YEARS. Like pre-panic years. BCM never really made anything. They were an assembler who contracted out to job shops. And a lot of those bigger job shops now sell direct. Which means their primary model for firearms, which was to be slightly cheaper but well constructed got a lot of pressure on it. The reality is that the margin on a charging handle or muzzle device is HUGE. The margin on a barrel you didn't make, a BCG you didn't make, and a receiver you didn't make isn't huge. That makes it hard to keep margin in a fully made gun while under price pressure form the likes of aero precisions, faxon, etc. Which is why you don't see barrels and receivers on their site anymore. They used to cater to the builders from soup to nuts, but not anymore. They sell uppers to the basic assembler, and high margin bits to everyone else. I suspect realty was something along the lines of them having the choice of being a million dollar business that has half a million in profit, or be a two million dollar business that has 400k in profit. Fiddle with those numbers until they are scaled right. I'm guessing there will be no stock on full guns until prices ramp up again. They would not be the first company to realize that life is simpler and involves more spendable cash making unregulated $70 accessories that cost $10 to make and stuffing them in padded mailers.

I mean personally, I'd say if you can dump a mag and grab it without issue, they have a point. The threaded portion does encircle the barrel. You cannot hold a comp while operating the firearm without getting burned. Jetting gas does that. Also no pistol comp will have enough mass to not heat up to burning temps almost as fast as the barrel. You'd also have a hard time finding a comp you can even get a reasonable portion of your hand on. But if you did put on a comp and then put a blast shield over it, you might be in the same boat. especially with .22lr.
