Just heard on the scanner of a possible mid-air collision involving a helicopter over the hudson river...can't find anything on the news sites yet.

Cool....NJPilot just got a light laser combo for his CZ....works very well, and alot cheaper than crimson trace grips...they are pretty pricey IIRC.

Nice! Same here....when you making it to Ft. Dix???

I did....my phone was on silent, i didn't get them till this AM, I didn't want to reply to early, I know you really NEED your beauty sleep!! And, yes....that is VERY nice. I'm debating.

lol....ughhhh tell me about it. :roll: This one is to big to sneak past the wife tho....I'm going to have to tell her.

Anyone have any experience with the Taurus Raging Bull chambered in .500 S&W? I need one. :twisted: Are they still available? I don't see them on taurus' website. Is there a semi-auto chambered in .500 S&W? Is .50 caliber the same? I'm so confused! :oops: I know I've posted this before, but it just gets funnier and funnier each time I see it. Turn your volume off if there are kids around...there is some profanity. 2M-kJCxLpAk

yeah, really. They are like potato chips....can't have just one

Awesome gun Sparny! Very cool!! Is that going to be a HD gun? Have you given any thought as to putting anything on the rail like a light or laser ?

I believe the law is you need it to purchase and don't need it to possess ammo.....I am not 100% sure tho.

Sorry to hijack....Ron, any word on your fid yet??? Going on 6 weeks or so right?

I think he meant Delaware (DE)

.410 shotgun ammo now requires an FID because of the judge. Some dicks require your FID for shotgun shells, slugs only I believe. I think bird and buck are still okay to purchase without a FID.

You need a FID to purchase any ammo in NJ that can be used in a pistol. Some stores take it a step further and require a FID for all ammo. You can purchase ammo online at some places with no FID, cheaperthandirt.com for example, or take a ride to PA, all that is required is proof of age.

Same here...I'm much more into rifles than pistols. I get bored from pistols in about 10 mins....rifles I can shoot all day, even if its just plinking with a .22 at cans / fruit / etc. I never get tired of that.

Maks....you need a 12 gauge! :twisted:

There are many people that do use a .22 for home protection. There are a few different variables in my opinion... Advantages: 1. VERY easy to control. 2. with good shot placement, it will do its job. 3. little recoil = faster follow up shot. 4. little or no over penetration, meaning it is not likely to travel thru walls injuring someone on the other side. Disadvantages: 1. Not much knockdown power (stopping power) BUT, read no. 2 above. If your shot placement is good, you will only need one shot. 2. It has been my experience that .22's jam more often than larger calibers which is the absolute last thing you want in a home protection situation. Reliability is a must. I'm sure there are more....anyone else care to add?

I just browsed this thread without reading the entire contents, so bear with me if I am being redundent. First off, welcome to the forum, you are absolutely in the right place for help and guidance. For a home protection gun, if you were interested in a long gun, shotgun I assume, I would recomend a 20 gauge pump but I would definitley try to shoot one before you make the purchase to make sure you are comfortable with it. I would also highly recomend you taking a class with one of our sponsors here. There are three to choose from, (high-calibre firearms training, Gun for Hire, and MDTS Training) and from what I hear all three are very good, both with beginner shooters as well as seasoned shooters that have picked up some bad habits. I am more than confident they will be able to help you with the sight problem you are having. I think if you are taught right the first time by people who do this for a living you will not regret it. Brick Armory also has classes I belive. Hope you enjoy it here, and enjoy the sport as well as being able to defend yourself in your home. EDIT: lol...ken beat me to it!!! I guess we were typing at the same time! GMTA

lol...sorry! I was looking at it from a learning standpoint... But yes, I do enjoy shooting with all 'the guys' aka the BA crowd too! I have a great time with my wife, when she's not prego and allowed to shoot, we have a great time just plinking with our .22's at Ft. Dix. Lots of fun and good times.

absolutely, I use youtube all the time! I had no idea how to get my 1911 back together, I found a few vids on there that really helped me out. I had to hit pause every two seconds, so I could play catch up! lol

I enjoy shooting with TBTtrout, and Milton from BA....I've learned alot from the two of them.

+1 for honesty....although troy never worked on my car, I have dealt with him in the past on other things....very honest guy and trustworthy. I would definitley trust him with my cars.

Thanks guys...VERY helpful info.

So, I emailed mossberg about a week ago, and just got this reply today.

I figdured it out, I wasn't logged in :oops: And yes, the limit is oddly short. But I kept it to the point anyway....my offer and location was about it!
