I own a small antique shop in Manhattan specializing in medical, natural history, industrial, and all manners of odd and creepy stuff.

Have you priced 380 recently? Its more expensive than gold covered crack!

It says right in the case you cited that the gun was a semi-auto. Its been covered already that this applies to semi-auto weapons and not to bolt or level action.

Good thing he didnt up the situation and get all road ragey on you. You may have been able to provide him the services of your other profession.

Last time I was in a wal-mart in PA, they had boxes of 550 rounds of .22 for about $15 or so....This was a few weeks ago. Im out that way about twice a week, and could check if ya like.

I know Woodbridge Auto Parts used to carry them, but they are currently not selling any guns...I think there are still some places selling them online....or go to the Allentown PA gun show next weekend.

that sounds like a bad idea, now you just brought drugs into the equasion. a simple no sounds best to me.. If you read my whole post I said "if asked about weapons AND DRUGS or other contraband"...I didnt say to just add drugs if asked about guns....nor did I say to add anything else to what ever you are asked about. If asked about guns...then reply about guns...if asked about drugs...then reply about drugs...if asked about guns, drugs, or other contraband...then reply in like kind.

You can answer something along the lines of " I have no illegal weapons or drugs in my car" if asked about weapons and drugs or other contraband....unless you happen to actually have some contraband...

I keep most of it in metal military ammo boxes...some in one closet, some in another, some in my workshop....wherever I can put it. I dont have any locked in the safe....

a NJ resident can buy a shotgun or rifle from a PA dealer. You fill out the background check forms (PICS in PA) and a certificate of elegibility form...if its all good, you can take your rifle or shotgun home with you.....For a pistol, you have to have it transfered to a NJ FFL who will do the paperwork and all that stuff..You cannot take home a pistol from a PA dealer..it must be shipped to your NJ FFL. One good thing about buying long guns in PA, the charge for the background check is $5, where as its $15 in NJ. I think you can also save on the tax? Also the PA NICS system is open on Sunday. In NJ, its closed on Sundays.

The Patriot Radio line up is Bill Bennett

Leroy Stout, Trenton NJ (the nice part, not Downtown) $25 transfer $15 NICS Also a very nice guy...Just used his services.

They should be placed all the way in the back so as not to be readily accessable to someone in the car. I also place a packing blanket or some sort of covering over the gun cases and ammo boxes so that anyone looking into your car cannot see them. The covering is not a requirement, but it is a very good idea.

week days from 9-12 pm on sirius 144 is NRA News... You can also listen and/or watch at www.nra-ila.com The show is called Cam & Company. The used to have a show called Gun Talk that was on Sunday afternoon, but Imnot sure if its still on. The rest of the day is conservative talk radio.

I went to a shooting event there just recently. Their facilities were quite nice and its not very far from my house at all. If they didnt have all of those required events and was a bit more economical, Id already be a member. Id really like to find a range like Ft Dix...they have a good facility and are very reasonably priced...I just wish it was closer to my house and they didnt call the cops on me....

Some people prefer to have the mag shortened so as not to have the look of a normal cap mag. There are many do-gooders out there who will tell you you have an illegal cap mag at the range if they see it still has the original length......

a lot of .22 rifles can shoot 22 long, short & LR.....many older ones I see are marked as such.

My local PD (South Brunswick) requires new fingerprints if its been over 2 years since you had any activity....such as applying for a pistol purchase permit.

Ive recently heard of some FFLs trying to collect the sales tax on a transfered weapon. As they are just doing the transfer and not the actual sale, they should not be doing this.

Ive done some AR mags, but they are a bit more difficult. The mag body is aluminum which is softer and doesnt like to be bent. Also the tabs that hold the bottom plate on bend inward , unlike the AK mags which bend outward. Just be careful and more or less replicate what the original bottom of the mag looks like. You may want to make the tabs larger, which will make the process easier.....Ive also seen a conversion done with the plastic mags, but I havent tried that yet.

Hollow point ammo is 100% NJ legal to possess and use in your home, your property and at the range and maybe transported between those places. It is illegal to use in an unlawful manner, such as if you are committing a crime. Provided certain conditions are met, a sportsman may transport and use hollow point ammunition. There are no restrictions preventing a sportsman from keeping such ammunition at his home. N.J.S.A 26:39-3f. (1) limits the possession of hollow nose ammunition. However, there is a general exception which allows for the purchase of this ammunition but restricts the possession of it to specified locations. This exception provides that: (2) Nothing is subSection f. (1) shall be construed to prevent a person from keeping such ammunition at his dwelling, premises or other land owned or possessed by him, or from carrying such ammunition from the place of purchase to said dwelling or land . . . [N.J.S.A 26:39-3g (2)]. Thus a person may purchase this ammunition and keep it within the confines of his property. SubSection f. (1) further exempts from the prohibited possession of hollow nose ammunition "persons engaged in activities pursuant to N.J.S.A 26:39-3f. . . ." N.J.S.A 26:39-3f. (1). Activities contained in N.J.S.A 26:39-3f. can be broken down as follows: 1.A member of a rifle or pistol club organized under rules of the National Board for the Promotion of Rifle Practice and which filed its charter with the State Police; 2.A person engaged in hunting or target practice with a firearm legal for hunting in this State; 3.A person going directly to a target range, and; 4.A person going directly to an authorized place for "practice, match, target, trap or skeet shooting exhibitions." As with other ammunition and firearms, a sportsman would have to comply with the provisions of N.J.S.A 26:39-3f. and g when transporting hollow nose ammunition to a target range. The ammunition should be stored in a closed and fastened container or locked in the trunk of the motor vehicle in which it is being transported. The course of travel should be as direct as possible when going to and leaving from the target range with "only such deviations as are reasonably necessary under the circumstances." N.J.S.A 26:39-3g. If the sportsman

Be aware that the prices that you see in the big ol SARCO ad in Shotgun News are not the actual prices they charge. In the fine print they say those are all dealer prices and retail prices may vary. I once went there to buy a PTR 91, that had 3 prices in their ad, the retail price, the dealer price and the SARCO price. Seems they advertise a SARCO price, but dont sell things for the same amount. They couldnt even explain what the SARCO price meant. That was the last time I went there.

Havent tried them yet. I went to Ruters Gun & Boat in Highland Park, but they want $45 I think...maybe it was $55....I also called Leroy Stout in Trenton...and he wants only $25 plus NICS.......I think Ill try him this time.

you should change that to "have you ever not had to sneak a gun in'?
