Are you sure they didn't reject ObamaCare because they want the REAL DEAL single payer health care like Europe has? Union leadership always seems to be more "progressive" than membership.

Same here.

My mistake. I thought the only rifle hunting in state was rimfire.

All target. Hunting in NJ is with a shotgun or a bow.

I take my M1A out three times for every time I take out my Savage Model 10 PC.

I'd love to see that happen here and watch Lautenberg shitt himself, then see the crime rate plummet, and watch liberals struggling to list any reason for it but the obvious one.

After watching the video, I wonder if a bolted down safe would be a problem. The kid always gets in by jostling the safe.

Very anticlimactic.... Bob (pistol instructor over at Shore Shot) did exactly what you guys recommended. Tood a hardened wooden dowel and tap...tap...tap until the bullet reseated and the cylinder opened. I feel better about having seen it done once though.

I agree with you for the most part. I do disagree about Citizens United though. "Special Interest group" is thrown around as if it is always a bad thing. When you are talking about corporate conglomerates like Monsanto, I would agree. But you and I belong to interest groups, like the NRA, Second Amendment Society, etc. Why should we be denied the opportunity to pool our resources and be a voice in government? The law that was struck down in Citizens United painted with a very large brush. It stopped the good with the bad. In a Constitutional Republic such as ours, I think the default always has to be to allow the both, accepting the fact that we won't like some of it. It's like hate speech. We may find it repugnant, but putting limits on freedoms is a greater evil.

Learn to shoot with iron sights. You will be a much better shooter for it. You would be surprised how small a target you can put rounds into at 200 yards.Once you have that down, then you can throw some glass on there. By then you will have been able to save enough $$$ to buy a good scope instead of a cheap one, and most likely you'll have a better idea of what you want/need.

Unless you are a political or big-money bigwig, your chances of carry permit in NJ approach zero. It will not happen. And you don't want to even try, because once you are denied you will always have to check that box Yes (which asks if you have ever been denied a permit) on the Federal form when you buy a gun, and explain why. My advice is to look at homes on the PA side of the Delaware. Get as close as you can without crossing over to the bad side.

That was actually an objective article. I am shocked.

STI. If you are OK with the non-classic looks it is a better gun than the Springfield. Head to the 1911 Forums and do some reading on the two and on Kimbers too.

I'll take it.

After looking at the bullets I used, it seems as likely that I am seeing the jacket on the bullet in the cylinder gap.

I love the comments but wish people arguing for our side would use a goddamn spellcheck. Bad spelling undermines a good argument. It makes the writer look bad and makes his point easier to dismiss.

Thanks guys. I am open to more suggestions, but Allan's Clam Bar sounds good too.

The problem is I was not the one shooting the gun at the time it happened. I cannot be 100% sure that the round ignited. Do I think it did? Yes. And the person shooting believes it did. I don't see how the brass would be extending that far forward from just a regular chambering of a bullet without ignition. I want to approach with plenty of caution, so I want to give it to someone who can handle either scenario (i.e. live round or squib). Sorry I was not more clear in my initial post. I was definitely considering using a wooden dowel if I were sure.

I'd love to, but it's a work night. Too much driving means too little sleep.

I was out shooting with friends on Saturday and my S&W 28-2 must've eaten a squib. The bullet is still in the chamber/barrel and you can see brass in the gap between the cylinder and forcing cone. It makes me think perhaps some weak brass went along for the ride with the bullet when the round was fired. Anyway, that is a situation that needs some resolution. Does anyone know of any decent revolver gunsmiths in the Central Jersey area? I can't/won't ship the gun in it's current condition. Thanks.

My wife's family is down in Cape May (exit 0) this week. We live in Middletown (exit 114). We are looking to meet halfway and grab some dinner on Wednesday night. Can anyone suggest a decent (and not too expensive) restaurant that is about halfway? I am thinking it would be somewhere between exits 50 and 60. A couple North or South of that range is OK if the food is good. Thanks in advance.

I don't have to get re-printed, thankfully. It does stink that now I have to treat my rifles/shotguns like handguns with regard to traveling to from range, etc (i.e. no FID means I don't have a caary permit for long guns). Since I usually take both long guns and handguns with me to the range, I suppose the difference is mostly moot.

I have a photocopy of mine. They took the original when I submitted my change of address. Had I known, I would've lost it ahead of time. Next time the wiser.

I have found that me semi-autos in 308 (M1A & PTR91KC) like the lighter stuff better. My Savage Model 10 PC likes it heavier.

It's blasting ammo, plain and simple. Bring a steel plate and see how often you can ring the bell. Normally I go to 240 with iron sights on my M1A. Sounds like you are stuck at 100 yards if you want to hit it 50% of the time.
