Welcome to the area, Devs, I'm two zip codes away from Mo-town. I go to the Bullet Hole in Belleville. If there's a closer range I'd love to hear about it!

Worst mistake I ever made with a new shooter was not fully explaining that no part of their hand can protrude into the space that the slide travels on an automatic pistol. The second time he picked up the pistol and fired it he changed his grip slightly and got his left thumb nicked by the slide. Also good to cover the possibility of squibs, especially if they start to get confident and fire faster.

I'm not sure where the perception of guns lying all around my place is coming from. I'm asking about storing them muzzle down in a SAFE.

I've been going totally stealth - marathon, cold-blooded and ninja perks. Way too many people online spend too much time watching their radar and heartbeat sensors.

+1. Spent a long range session with my shotty on Saturday, first one with the limbsaver on and my shoulder didn't look like it got beat with a crowbar the next day for once.

Actually... In the game it's Russian ultranationalists walking through a Russian airport, along with an American undercover agent posing as a Russian ultranationalist, killing everyone "except for Russians". SPOILERS SPOILERS He meant don't speak any Russian. So they wouldn't be identified as Russians. Since they were blaming the attack on the Americans. Ahhh, ok, that makes sense. Especially as how they didn't seem to be very discriminating in their attack... Maybe if we get another 4-5 people to contribute we'll finally get the story straight! It's like a game of "telephone" 'round here.

Yep, Gander mountain doesn't have a good handle on NJ gun laws. This is the Nth time I've told this story, but what the hell: Last year I went there to look for a shotgun. They were perfectly happy to sell me a semi-auto shotgun with a pistol grip (no-no in NJ) but would not sell me 9mm hollow point ammo as it was "illegal".

I consider both my shotgun and beretta storm to be long guns.

Ok, then thanks for your concern.

Sweet firearms, unloco. What stock did you put on your GSG, and how did you pin it if I may ask?

Roger that tt. I'll ensure that the muzzles ends aren't sitting on anything that can damage them.

The only ones kept loaded are the ones I think would be effective for HD. Any other information relevant to my original question I can provide for you? Would you like my address, the safe keypad code and the hours I'm generally home as well? :roll:

Perhaps some attention would be better spent on how a person with the ideology and instability that the shooter had rose to the rank of ARMY MAJOR!?

And this makes what difference in handling them? Yes, if they are to fulfill their HD purpose, they should be kept loaded IMO. I use tetra grease for lube and their triple action for cleaning/coating. There's never any excess left to drip anywhere.

I store some of my long guns loaded while they're in the safe. I have to contort myself a bit to avoid muzzle sweeping my torso when taking them out of the safe and I'm thinking that in an emergency if I was rushing to get one out that it's a serious risk. Is there any issue with storing long guns in a safe with the muzzle on the floor ( say on a piece of cardboard to avoid getting crap in the barrel) and the stock against the wall, other than it being less stable? The way I have things arranged in my safe, the stocks end up sitting in the barrel notches on the safe wall so it's not like they're going to fall out when the safe door is opened.

Those of you with xbox live friends requests coming from a name that starts with "Dig"...that's me.

Come on NJGF, let's get some xbox 360 multiplayer on! PM me for Xbox live tag.

Going to be picking this up later today. NJGF MW2 night soon?

According to Burger Dick's is selling a 7+1 capacity Mossberg SPX. Anyone actually seen one of these for sale at a Dicks? If so, which one(s)?

You're talking about the Mossberg 930 SPX, yes? What configuration does Dick's sell it in? If it's a 6 shot or less capacity with no pistol grip, then it falls within the "legal" definition we've been discussing above.

Dick's in East Hanover as of 11/01 Noonish - lotsa 9mm and 22 lr bulk packs, but expensive: Remington UMC 9mm 250 bulk packs $76 Remington 9mm 100 boxes $40 Also had 50 round boxes winchester white box and blazer brass, plus hornady hollow points Remingon 22 LR brass plated hollow point 22LR 525 bulk packs $20 Saw .40 and .45 handgun ammo also but didn't price it out.

Even if the case stays intact on firing, there's a chance that your ejector would line up with the gap in that rim and you'd get a FTE. I'd toss it.

Going to see if I can make it for the whole event.

If you are into "filesharing", one *BIG* advantage of FIOS is you can actually use your maximum upload speed on a sustained basis and not be penalized. Optimum/Cablevision will actually severely throttle your connection (reduce both your download and upload speeds) if you upload over a certain speed on a sustained basis. This is because uploading on a cable modem actually impacts the speed of the local branch of the cable modem network much more than downloading does. Once I had a 20GB database to transfer to work, and I tried sending it to work via FTP from home. I started it from home in the morning, went to work and when I came home I noticed my cable connection was crawling. Called up Optimum and they scolded me for filesharing, told me they would uncap it "this time" but that next time it would be permanent.
