Check the DATE! 2009! Geesshh

I love Natchez. They are my #1 supplier.

The RJ45 jack for ethernet is a really cool idea; I wish my safe had that. Build a little Arduino controller that send me internal safe conditions via tweets...

Not in statute or any law, I believe, but rather in a webpage discussing a conversation between the AG and the NJSP on the NJSP website... http://www.state.nj.us/njsp/about/fire_ag1.html

Exactly the same choice President Bush presented to us. I hated it then, and I hate it now just as much.

For anything under 300 Win Mag or 338, they don't really do much except make the people next to you unhappy. For larger cal guns, they aren't rare at all.

I never understand why our local area (Fanwood/Scotch Plains) calls for the helicopter. The time required to clear the landing field, wait for the copter to land, get the patient onto the copter, have the copter go back through their lengthy takeoff procedure and then leave is MUCH, much longer than the driver to a reasonably local, state trauma center or burn center. Both trauma and burn hospitals are less than 15 minutes away when driving in a normal car obeying traffic laws. I'm sure an ambulance could get their in 12 or even 10 minutes. There was a motorcycle accident last week at the Rt 22 intersection near Snuffys. I could hear the helicopter from my house for probably 15 minutes between them circling, landing, idling, taking off, circling again, etc. I could have driven to the accident, put the guy in my car and driven him to the trauma center faster. I don't know why they do it.

Perhaps, but the elements of FFL transfer fee service are pretty simple. 1) Not lose the gun. 2) Be open during arranged hours. 3) Don;'t mess up the same paperwork they've filled in 10,000 times before. That's a low barrier. Above that, it's price all the way. (Also, I know several FFL's have failed those simple requirements).

I agree with LEO's getting arrested when they destroy/hide paperwork. If a LEO ended up with evidence that proved I was innocent of a crime, would I want him destroying it? No. Maybe he shouldn't have made the arrest, but that was the time to resist. Not obstructing.

The Lautenberg Blind Stock Pin Act of 2007....seriously, where do people come up with stuff like this?

I have one in 44Mag. I don't seem to have a picture of it. Shoots very well, but the slightly down-loaded rounds I made for my revolver and lever action weren't enough to cycle reliably, so I use factory rounds. Lots of fun to shoot.

Also, nice to put a expended primer in...

I started reloading for 50BMG because I wanted a match-quality round with a little less velocity; when you are only shooting at 300 or 600yds you don't need quite the energy in a standard load. The only trick is that your powder scale probably doesn't go high enough, so you have to load powder multiple times. I think this can probably get confusing, so you really need to pay attention. 50BMG brass is usually easy to get, but if you get once-fired, try not to get ammo that was fired in an automatic weapon. They often have looser chambers, and the brass can be a real bitch to resize. Military brass also ends up having this tar sealer on the end that can sometimes never come off. You can buy cleaned and prepped 50BMG brass often, and usually at a reasonable price. If you don't load it too high it will last a very, very long time.

I have never NOT stopped at a store or some other place for a quick refuel or bathroom break on my way home. Oh well.

That said, his FB pages make both companies seem a lot more real, with actual products, etc. Maybe the show edited to show him in a poor light.

Ordered. Thanks. Cabela's is a good company, and selling this ammo for $8.99 these days shows it.

The tour of the new "store" was about as pathetic as any store I've ever seen. Three handguns and three knives in the case, a rack full of camo hats, and a single LA zombie shirt. The "workshop" was a small desk, and he showed off a new AR he built for his buddy. There's your real question; how is he staying in business?

This show is good for milsurp and modern stuff Well, it's good to meet the WWII heros, but the show was always terrible even when guns and ammo were cheap and plentiful. It's probably a nightmare now. Of all the shows I've been to, this is the one that was most time-wasting. Ugh.

I don't agree that airsoft gun are "toy guns"

Got 2 (the limit). Thanks for the heads up.

Voted!

Could we add a sticky (maybe written by BlueLineFish) that lists and explains what you need to do for a multiple purpose exemption? I know the content is sprinkled through a few threads, but it's hard to see the whole process. I'm looking at a pair of SA revolvers for SASS events, and the guns I'm looking at have sequential serials and come in the same box, so they are probably a great example of a multiple purchase exemption.

So far this morning I sent the NJ2AS a $250 payment, and sent all my legislators a polite but lengthy and detailed email about why banning 50cal rifles was a silly thing to do without any possible effect on crime. If everyone sent the NJ2AS a few bucks ($5 via paypal!) and used the NRA ILA page to send some emails, we'd be in better shape. I can't attend rallies in NJ like I know I should, but I'll do my part in other ways.

They signed a consent decree with NYC a number of years ago instead of pleading guilty to selling guns to illegal NYC residents (I believe they were caught in a NYPD sting operation). They agreed to record all firearms sales and provide NYC with a form about all purchases. I don't know if that is still happening, and I haven't bought a gun from them in a while. Here is another thread about it: http://njgunforums.com/forum/index.php/topic/36718-dunklebergers/ Dunkelbergers is very close to my vacation home in Skytop, so I'm there every few months. They have a pretty nice shop, but prices are on the high end. They get a tremendous number of NYC and NJ residents shopping there, so they know what is legal in NJ, but the size of the NJ trade also has made them less friendly to non-PA residents. I've heard some salespeople going out of their way to help an NY resident find a legal gun, and I've heard some salespeople telling an NJ resident that he couldn't help them. They also have some reloading equipment, dies and powder and primers. During the last crisis I was able to buy boxes of CCI primers there when almost no one else had them, and they didn't gouge on pricing. They also have a great selection of Carhartt gear and other sporting goods, and an archery area upstairs. The clothing departments are fancy and expensive "sporting" clothes for the visiting resort people and local affluent population.

I have been thinking about this a lot the past few days, because I care more about this than many other things. If I am making a list for the grocery store, I write "pork roll." If I am ordering a sandwich, I will order "Taylor Ham and Cheese on a hardroll" at the diner (even if I'm pretty sure they are using Case's or some other brand in the kitchen). It's contextual, not regional...
