So when does this actually go into effect?

I've had PRK surgery, compliments of the United States Naval Hospital. PRK allows the lens to heal completely, while LASIK leaves the risk of the lens becoming dislodged under extreme circumstances. Either way, results are the same, 20/10 -20/20 vision. I myself have 20/15 vision. Who says government run healthcare doesn't work?

Mail Call is a show about answering questions from viewers regarding the military/military history. Pretty cool show hosted by R Lee Ermey. Seems to be on all day on the History Chanel.

Mail Call is on this morning.

My impression is the same as coldsolderjoint, being the lower receiver (what houses the action and is serialized) is branded as an SBR. So I wonder, could one be arrested for having an "SBR" with a 16" barrel? In NJ, probably yes. Just looking for a definitive answer to satisfy curiosity.

Oh I have no intention of even attempting to purchase or otherwise transfer an NFA item. Just asking a hypothetical.

I was looking on gunbroker and it got me curious. If I ordered a rifle I liked but it was an SBR, obviously I could not own in NJ. So it made me think, if I had a dealer replace the short barrel with a 16", does that make it legal?

What is the precise law on categorization? Related to AR types, does the action (lower receiver) get categorized or the barrel itself?

Haven't seen this video before. Good stuff.

I'm a subscriber to hickok45 on youtube. Great shooter.

Nobody's suggesting incompetence. There is no right or wrong as long as you are safe, practicing safety, and feel comfortable. It all really boils down to opinion and preference. People will have different preferences. There is nothing wrong with that.

Its funny to see where these conversations go sometimes. I was always taught to go condition 1 carrying a pistol, tactical or concealed. Safety mechanisms were subject to preference and comfort level. The Glocks really have no safety, though you can get one of those trigger guard plugs. It sits between the trigger and the edge of the guard, so when you draw, all you have to do is pop it out with your index finger when ready to fire. Gives you peace of mind if you're that concerned about a negligent discharge when holstered. P.S. I was talking strictly pistols in a hoslter. When carrying a rifle, I always had the safety on, condition 2.

Some basic courses would definitely be beneficial. If you've got the time and money, take a week long shooting package offered by one of the many security firms out there. SCG International Risk runs an outstanding course, High Threat Protective Operations (HTPO). They teach advanced shooting (rifle, smg, pistol), offensive driving, PSD, surveillance, etc. You might not need all of that, but the shooting portion is a lot of fun and highly informative. Corrected some of my bad habits and learned how to use bad habits to m advantage, i.e. one handed gangster shooting.

JC ESU is no joke! My brother-in-law is going to apply for his FID because of this incident. He's from JC.

Good stuff. Some commenters were complaining of the baby's proximity, but that is why you train if you carry concealed.

Can anyone elaborate on SORA Certification and if it equates to, or is relevant to CCW?

Been almost 3 months and just found out that PD's been waiting for questionnaires to be mailed back. My references never even got them.

What about the business owners in this state? They can't possibly see one handgun per month as good for business. Are they not victims?

Well said and insightful. Everything so far is preliminary, but the way I see it, there is NOTHING that CAN'T be done (I know, double negative). I'm going to take a friend out for drinks and introduce him to the idea of working on this with me pro bono, although he is in criminal law. I was just listening to Sotomayor's confimration hearing, in particular her record on the 2nd Amendment. She does a lot of double talk and covers her ass well. Spoken like a true politician/lawyer. Anyway, references to SC's reversal of DC's handgun ban has given me inspiration and motivation.

Ah, to be 18 again.

I'm going to head down to Caso's in Jersey City and talk to the guys down there this weekend. Before the statewide one-handgun-a-month thing passed, Jersey City implemented their own one-per-month. Caso's took Jersey City to court, won, and won again when Jersey City appealed. Probably a good place to start research. http://www.1010wins.com/pages/4281679.php?

I'm willing to look over laws and articles with an attorney friend of mine. If anyone is seriously interested, we need to formulate intelligent persuasions (not the usual hard-lined rhetoric) and find any/all cases who have relative precedents.
