Is a starter gun a firearm according to NJ law?

Assuming that firing a blank counts as a "firearm discharge" then it would follow that anywhere that it is illegal to fire live rounds in NJ, it also illegal to fire blanks.

http://backwoodshome.com/blogs/MassadAyoob/ - Massad Ayoob's column at Backwoods Home Journal - he's a bit more unfiltered there than some of his other "for general public consumption" writing. http://onlygunsandmoney.blogspot.com/ - No Lawyers, Only Guns and Money - Light treatment of RKBA legal issues/cases http://weaponsman.com/ - Weapons Man - RKBA legal issues, firearms/military/self defense technology and techniques. http://sipseystreetirregulars.blogspot.com/ - Sipsey Street Irregulars - Mike Vanderboegh's blog, boogeyman of the Anti's, "gathering place for III %'ers" - Lots of RKBA politics and opinion. Surprised this one isn't on your list already, Underdog. http://waronguns.blogspot.com- David Codrea's blog, RKBA news, politics and opinion pieces - annoying "click-baitish" post titles without much immediate content, but I find that clicking through to his actual articles (all seem to be from examiner.com) is usually worth the time. http://www.forgottenweapons.com/ - Forgotten Weapons - best blog on historical weapons and tech that I've come across, fascinating reading. http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/volokh-conspiracy/ - The Volokh Conspiracy - Blog of Eugene Volokh and other law professors - Not strictly RKBA oriented, but they do tend to cover lots of constitutional issues/cases/politics. Heavy on legal issues and details. http://www.thebangswitch.com/ - The Bang Switch - Blog of the Military Arms Channel (MAC) on youtube. Lots of great reviews, some news and politics. http://ar15news.com - AR15 news, basically a blog for press releases on new AR products. It gets tiring reading about how this new! gadget!! is the best!!!! EVAH!!!!!, but if you don't mind filtering through the hyperbole you'll find interesting new AR products and sometimes specials/sales.

Thanks for mentioning this, didn't know it existed. I'm eligible, applying now.

Both S&B and CCI Blazer brass have worked fine for me in the past. Only real difference between the two in my view is that the S&B boxes are packed tighter and take up less space.

Bhunted, not sure what your point is on continuing to examine this on a "by county" level. The number that we're trying to change is the state total % approved. What does it matter what county they're in? The concept here is that the state gets to claim high approval numbers because no one outside of LEO/SORA applies, at least not in any kind of coordinated effort. Even if "only" 100 people apply at the same time, that's still a strong argument that NJ does not recognize RKBA, because the stat will be "100% of non-LEO/SORA applicants who applied in (month in 2015) were denied." It's a chicken/egg cycle that we need to break. - No one applies outside of LEO/SORA because they know they'll be denied. - Because no one applies outside of LEO/SORA, the state can factually claim they approve 99% of applications, so what's the problem?

The ratio of non-LEO, non-LEOSA, non-SORA applicants denied will not look miniscule.

Reach out to SAF (Second Amendment Foundation) to see if they have any support/advice, since they've already pledged support to Mr. Almeida's case. I recently paid to become an SAF member - I'll be happy to write some emails. Another point to consider - anyone who has any criminal history, domestic violence or mental health issues that would prevent them from getting a FID or Pistol Purchase Permit in NJ should recuse themselves from this group. It will be detrimental to the effort to give the state any argument in saying "well look, X% of those that applied for CCW have red flags in their background checks".

I liked the idea because the shroud was removable - run with it "wide open" when you're not trying to be a good port neighbor, throw it on when you have someone taking a new shooter for their first range outing in the next port. There's also another aspect to having that particular thread pitch on the outside of the brake that might come in handy in a SHTF situation... Oh well, I'll add this to the "things I'll buy when I move to America" list.

Thanks Paul, I hadn't considered the flash hider aspect. Vlad G. - the idea behind these is that they direct muzzle concussion forward, reducing the noise/pressure felt by your port neighbors if you're shooting indoors or close to other people

Can't make it tomorrow but please keep posting these and I'll make one.

Interested, can't commit to the date yet. Morristown area, Morris County.

Thanks Bob.

Surprised it took this long. I can see the talking point now "Brave democrats take the NRA head-on over cop killer bullets after even the BATFE backed down..."

So I'm thinking about getting one of these: http://www.gunsamerica.com/blog/kineti-tech-muzzle-break/ Basically a muzzle brake with external threads that a removable external shroud can thread onto: NJ legal on an AR? Any problems with exposed threads ON THE BRAKE, and not on the barrel?

Cabelas will accept mailed in payments of check/money orders.

I've got a 'mini bug-out-bag' with electronic ear pro, goggles and loaded mags in panic grabbing distance of my HD firearm.

I have the Bluetooth scanner described here and an android phone, and I drive by Red Bank almost every weekend. Shoot me a PM if you want.

Another vote for .223 Powerpoints or JSP from me/ Read: http://how-i-did-it.org/drywall/ammunition.html especially the table at the bottom of this page: http://how-i-did-it.org/drywall/results.html

Great, thanks.

I'm interested, but can't find any mention of it on the site - if I buy a ring, how much of that goes to benefit vets/programs? I'm wondering if my $ are better off just in a straight donation.

Lalo, I've got one near Morristown but won't be back home until Monday evening.

Washington Fraternal Order of Police says M855 historically not a threat: http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/police-say-obama-bullet-ban-isnt-needed-ar-15-round-isnt-a-threat/article/2560964

Well, it's got new packaging! If you open the box and don't find any loose bullets or powder rolling around in the bottom then it just might be that remington has actually improved the ammo.
