Travis Haley speaks on the 2nd Amendment
Just released! A 25 minute video were Travis Haley speaks out on the 2nd Amendment, and his views as an American. My Personal thoughts (updated as I watch): Travis has great legs He quotes NutnFancy - which is funny to me His thoughts seemed free flowing, and not rehearsed, different from his typical marketing videos 13:20 through 14:30 is one of the best segments There are a few weird edit cuts in the middle - maybe his iPhone got a call? He demonstrates the proper IAD for opening a banana He gets choked up at the end Some excerpts: "... the decline and fall of this nation, which is happening, and I'm not saying that from some anti-government perspective, I'm saying that from someone who has put the foot to ass for my country, for most of my life..." "People forget how young our country is, people forget how ignorant we are compared to the rest of the world, how naive we are, how inside our little bubble we are - and that's very dangerous - so WAKE UP"

Told you Christie would cave
Watch the whole video segment, don't judge based off of the quotes posted in the articles. The way Christie responds to Matt's questions is much more than we can ask for. He had his chance to say "Yes, ban them all", but instead he pointed towards mental illness and substance abuse. That plays in our favor.

Sportsman carry permit??????
My apologies - I should of been more clear. While I had a legal permanent residence in the state of NY I had a concealed carry permit. Obtaining an out-of-state Non-Resident NYS CCW is similar to our concealed carry status in NJ. It's on the books, but is seldom implemented.

The missing link on 45 vs 9mm stopping power
SA XD45c = Thread over Plus it can accept 13rd mags, and use the holster of the Service XD45 and Tactical (5") XD45. Seriously though, with the average of 3's (3 shots, 3 seconds, 3 yards) one could feel comfortable with .45 in quantites of 8+. Revolvers have (and still are) been used in Gunfights for over a century, with only 6 rounds. I agree with Shane that in the small percentage chance of a civilian engagement, shot placement will still hold more sway than caliber and capacity, but defelction is an issue to be considered (bones, glass, cover, etc.)

Sportsman carry permit??????
Your friend is thinking about NY. I had a concealed carry permit in NY state which was classified as Sportsman. It's not limited to woods only activity, it's limited to what the judge who issues the permit will grant you.

300 Blackout - Thoughts / Experience / Reflections?
Nothing against AK users - But for anyone who owns an AR already and has spent any amount of time behind one, a 300Blk build is a more ideal solution to " the 30 cal problem" when you consider the desire for same system, same muscle memory, same small parts, same mags, same bolt/carrier, etc....

Question on BCM Comp Mod1
You're not going to find much. I've been following the story surrounding the BCM Comp since rumors were flying that they were designing one, and am VERY interersted in picking one up. It's been highly reviewed by Larry Vickers, Stickman, Travis Haley, and others. The good news is that is branded a Compensator and not a flash hider. The bad news is could a state tropper stick his pinky into the interior "muzzle cone" (the very informal test used to determine if a muzzle device is a flash hider or not)??? Thats the question. I have not seen a picture of the front of the BCM GUnfighter Compensator yet, and that will help shed light on how it will be viewed in NJ. Others will say if it's branded a compensator and you perm attach it you are GTG, but that's a decision for each of us to make individually.

300 Blackout - Thoughts / Experience / Reflections?
My Thoughts (originally posted 7/19/12, copied here): The goal of 300Blk was to be able to fire a .30 cal projectile out of a standard AR-15, using the same bolt, BCG, magazines, buffer, buffer spring, etc., with the only requirement being a barrel change. This allows a lightweight platform to fire a 110-147gr supersonic.308 bullet, out of the most standard weapon in use by law enforcement and the military (with a huge amount of civilian shooter with AR15s as well). Suppresion/subsonic is just a benefit of the round design. I've shot subsonics through my Blackout Upper and it sounds a hair louder than a .22, and it's pushing a 220 grain projectile. So don't get to hung up on not having a suppressor, as even the super sonic rounds are pretty quiet compared to their .308 counterparts, Some of the hot topics about 300 Blackout: "300 AAC Blackout has as much energy from a 16 inch barrel as 5.56mm from a 24 inch barrel. You get 8 inches of barrel for free." "300 AAC BLACKOUT, due to the larger bore than 223, is very efficient in shorter barrels, and we have had good functioning results with AR barrels down to 6.2 inches." "300 AAC Blackout has a little less energy at the muzzle(than 7.62x39), but due to higher BC bullets, it is equal by around 110 meters, and by 300 meters, the Remington 125 grain Match ammo has 16.7% more energy than even the hot Lapua 7.62x39mm ammo." Regarding accuracy, I can shoot right around 1 MOA out of my upper at 100 yards off a bench, so it's definitely combat accurate. Potency, it's a landslide. IMHO, there is no better round ballistically inside 250 yards for all purpose defensive use. The 147gr carry a metric ton of energy downrange, and it was rated combat effective to 410m out of a 9" barrel by the military. The new Barnes bullet apparently is pretty devastating as well. Recoil impulse is less than or equal to a 5.56, and this was confirmed with 2 others who shot my 5.56 and 300Blk uppers back to back. Light as you can make your AR, so no added bulk like you get with a 6.8 or .308 AR platform. 30k round estimated barrel life, due to the relatively low PSI of the cartridge. Out of a 9" barrel, you're getting a 125-147gr projectile at 2,000 ft/s, with 1,100 ft-lbs at the Muzzle. That's roughly 25% more than 5.56 M855 out of a 9" barrel. Regarding reliability - the system has to be run wet. At least that's been my experience. I can shoot both super and subs through my AAC 16" barrel without issue. I originally had trouble short stroking with subs - but once I swapped to a standard carbine buffer I was good to go. It's not a round for the masses, but the SAAMI spec and the fact that it's been picked up by over 60 firearms & ammunition companies (barrels, reloading supplies, ammo, etc.) does make it an interesting choice. In NJ it's not as cut and dry, since the round excels out of short barreled rifles, and with suppression. However I really enjoy mine. http://njgunforums.c...__fromsearch__1 http://njgunforums.c...__fromsearch__1

H&K SL8-1
I've owned an SL8-6 in the past, and both models are legal in NJ. Are you 100% that the rifle you purchased from the private seller was "stock", meaning it had no mods done to it? Some people in an effort to make it resemble a HK G36 will put a folding stock on it, or others will change the stock plate to accept AR15 telescoping stocks. If the one you purchased has a thumb hole stock, and you acquire 10rd magazines for it, it is completely legal in the state of NJ. To "adjust" the stock of a HK SL8-1 requires the insertion of spacers, which requires tools.

7-10 day EOTech Loaner?
Well Shane, this is what happens when we don't talk firearms, I go and do something crazy! And I'm only borrowing one.... For now I have become a bit snobby about glass, I wonder who's to blame for that? Hint: See above Thanks for your generous offer Blizzard, but Maks has me covered. So much hate...
