Hello and welcome from another 8A'er

I agree CSJ... an arms dealer looking for a fight only pulls out a revolver... eh. But the fact that the media is calling people jackasses for questioning the failed tactics is ridiculous. People are quick to judge the failed policies and tactics taken in the current operations in Iraq and Afghanistan... but people are jackasses for questioning a failed tactic that got four officers shot? Anybody knows that staircases = choke point. The fact that the cops rumbled and bumbled up said staircase in a supposed arms dealer's house makes me say that there should be A LOT of questions of why that happened.

I've heard good and bad things. On one hand, I've heard the glass holds up, and is fairly accurate. On the other, it holds zero for 1-10 shots, and/or the glass pops out. I thought about it, but I'm just going to save up for a Trijicon reflex sight instead.

I was not there (classes), but NJ.com has this very small snippet... which disappeared off the front page: http://www.nj.com/news/index.ssf/2009/0 ... y_fro.html

Jeez, hit nine times and is currently in stable condition? The guy must have been grazed, hit with ricochet, or high as a kite.

That was my same thought, tony. The Jersey City incident was a bit different, considering this Lakewood operation should have been a bit more controlled (as they were executing a high risk warrant). Maybe that makes this incident look even worse for the PD? I'll be interested in how this story is portrayed.

A-10s in danger close missions... ahh! Only comment I could make is I'm glad to have them on our side. Only thing more impressive is the Angels in the sky-- the AC130s

Some winners right there. What could do the LE do though? No offense to anyone, but I just don't see why people love rapid firing (whether its an automatic or bump firing... I don't count pulling the trigger really fast because there is some effort there to actually hit the same target more then once-- or at all).

I was driving a '94 Jeep that would have needed some maintenance, tires, and was obv not friendly with the pump. Looked at my options and got a new car, and while I have car payments now, I'm saving roughly 1-2K in maint/tires, and another 2-3K in gas... and that's for the first year. So, definitely worth it financially, and as a peace of mind for me. Best of luck.

I've never been hunting on the east coast, but if its anything like being in the field-- along with a nice pair of boots is a nice pair of socks. Remember to keep your feet dry, so, bring more then one pair. If its cold enough, I'd recommend maybe poly-pros, and probably some gloves.

Whats really cool about this video is that the Greenies were never really given respect until the era of "modern warfare." Given, I wasn't in the service during the Vietnam War (when Greenies were shunned of sorts), but GBs are truly larger then life guys, even to the guys also in uniform these days.

My favorite part had to be a comment made:

http://www2.wspa.com/spa/news/local/art ... cers/26918 I took that link from a snipit over at survivalblog.com. Its regarding a policy handed down by the mayor of the town to her PD. I don't want to spoil it, but I think its pretty ridiculous... and somewhat hilarious.

I remember living on post, and hearing/feeling the F16s, F18s, Sh*thooks, and UH60s doing their fly-time (as well as once every year, the AFB would ru an exercise where they flew every foreign plane they could get their hands on, as well as the occasion AWACs). Scariest thing though was when Air Force 1 flew in, and I thought we were getting bombed or something. That sucker is LOUD... like 100% car alarm loud.

I love TDIs. My sister has had one for awhile (a Golf TDI), and the sucker goes 40+ MPG easy... plus, inspections are super easy. Good luck.

Hehe, don't want those hippes snooping around to take us the wrong way

If you really want an AR, and you really want a certain setup, it can always be modified some to be made compliant in NJ. Ask Caine, he has a gorgeous Daniel Defense AR that was ADCO'd (feel free to step in). You can always get any AR of your choosing, and find a gunsmith to permanently attach the compensator, cut off the bayo lug, permanently restrict the stock from moving, etc. It'll cost a bit more, and may require some finesse between you and your FFL and gunsmith, but it can be done if that's what you really want. As for Colts, they do have NJ-legal Colts that I know for a fact are sold in NJ (I inquired, and received info from our great vendors here). A link to one: http://www.coltsmfg.com/products-c6-q9-Colt_Rifles.aspx

The West Windsor mayor has stated that he never signed anything, and was not even aware of what was going on until he was notified that he was listed...

I don't know if "enforce" is the right word-- but "defend"? Definitely.

the 92FS is decent, and even with smallish hands (I do too!) its a fine grip. I'm also a fan of the Sig 226 and 229. Personally, I have an XD, so, I would highly recommend those as well.

I was going to say that I'm more surprised that there was someone readily available to put it down.

A lot of reasons for moving down to 7/10yds is because if you're in a situation-- its more likely to be at those distances. With how things are, if you have to engage a hostile at 25 yards, you'll probably have the long arm of justice clothes-line you.

haha, bling-bang isn't really my thing. With that said, the gold AKs did look pretty stylin' http://www.ak-47.us/Gold_AK47.php

Its legal. Just no vertical front grips on pistols

I could care less for these types of folk. When push comes to shove, they would rather point their finger at someone else for the failures in their life then be accountable. There is a special place after death for mutineers and traitors.
