I'm very glad Jersey City got smacked down in this case, that search was total B.S. and Mr. Pantaleon did not deserve an arrest or jailing based on that search. However, he's no saint; He was very likely in possession of an AR type rifle that was not in a NJ legal configuration and also a "high capacity" (as defined by NJ, standard capacity in most of the rest of the US) magazine. I wonder what his chances are of getting either of those two items back from JCPD?

I bet this twists up more panties than the slidefire stock did - a drop in AR15 trigger pack that allows your safety selector to move to the 3rd position. When in the 3rd position, the trigger goes into "bump fire mode": https://tacfirecon.com/tacfireconshop/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=51 Promo video - recommend you turn your speakers down, it has over-the-top drama music: http://youtu.be/eQtCTUq4Y_I

I'm not privy as to what's going on with the infighting. I've had a couple of short communications with Frank in the past and he was cordial, but I also didn't accuse him of anything. Whatever your opinion of the organization, you have to admit they made more tangible progress for gun rights in NJ in the past 2-3 years than much older and more "established" organizations did.

That Banksy graphic made me shed a tear. I'm going to go home and pour some 5.56 brass on the ground.

I think the below one was the first:

I can not wait until we have auto-piloted cars. Set a destination, get in and sleep, eff around on the internet, read, game, have real face-to-face conversations, maybe even sex, arrive completely relaxed and unstressed. I estimate that 90% of the problems we have in traveling by car are the summation of all the individual bruised ego/inattentive/needlessly competitive/angry/sleepy/stressed drivers out there. You want the thrill of performance driving while testing your handling abilities? Get to a race track. Or do your "spirited" driving on back roads early on Sunday mornings. While we wait for the auto-pilots, I think the single best thing that could be done to make highway travel better currently would be to vigorously enforce the stay right except to pass rule.

Yes, it's ludicrous. The height of ridiculousness is the requirement for a pistol purchase permit to buy a bb/pellet handgun. May make better sense to drive to another state to purchase and just bring back into NJ.

That is correct. Per NJ law a bb/pellet gun is legally a firearm.

My first AR was an adams arms conversion. If you're going to retrofit with an aftermarket rail, be very careful that you will not run into any interference issues with the rail, either with the piston rod or the necessary adjusting of the gas block fore/aft. Test fit everything before you press the piston rod bushing into the upper receiver - once you've done that, you're committed.

I need to stop by there soon (and hit the woodland park range). Anyone know what they charge for FFL transfers?

Can't ban the *POSSESSION* of firearms in common use, or can't ban the *SALE* of firearms in common use?

Question - have you actually tested out the Eton/radio charger and used it to charge a very low/dead cell phone?

Pistol grip on a pump - good to go Pistol grip on a semi-auto - NJ illegal assault weapon, go to jail

Got this via email - never ordered direct from them, so dunno if 30% off is a "real deal" or just brings inflated OEM pricing down to retail levels - price compare carefully: http://www.themakogroup.com/

Sweet, thanks for coming through with the pic. That thing must be a hoon to shoot, fireball city. I'm a big fan of the inforce WML lights too, have one on my AR - ain't the brightest, but the ergonomics and the "switch safety" are great.

Au contraire Howard - Medicaid has forced lots of standardization on procedures and tests. If a doctor orders a test you'd have the ability to price it out and compare as opposed to just go where he/she recommends and see what the bill is afterwards. To use your analogy - You don't just always buy your ammo at the range, you comparison shop from different retailers.

Wasn't directed specifically at you Mike, just a generalized gripe. I do have some ideas though: - Every service provider (hospital, doctor's practice, lab, etc.) required to publicly publish their rates and prices for standard procedures/meds/tests further broken out by the cost for uninsured (cash)/ insured / medicaid. There are few other businesses where we tolerate complete opaqueness of pricing and zero ability to comparison shop. Why do we tolerate it in medical care? - Next step after the above - no disparity in pricing. The procedure/supply/test/med is billed at *one* price, irrespective of how the provider gets paid (ok, credit card surcharges are fine). No more punishing the uninsured at the price level. - Stop enforcing prescription drug cross-border policies and support a first-sale doctrine for them. If the pill costs $5.00 in the US and $0.50 in Mexico then it should be encouraged for people to go shopping where cheapest, not threatened with a felony conviction.
