The following is speculation and not settled law. It's not illegal to place ammunition in a magazine. You might even be able to transport a firearm with an empty chamber and loaded magazine and not have a loaded firearm. If you go to trial, do you really want to be tasked with educating 12 men and women as to the difference while the prosecutor loads the ammo into the magazine, loads the magazine into the firearm and muddied the water for you. It's entirely possible that you received advice from a set of lawyers not based on the law but on the practical defensible application of the law.

I know that she’s a Republican. She wasn’t identified as such during the segment.

She was identified as Jeanette Hoffman, political strategist.

Way too short to cover the entire issue, but a great job by Scott Bach getting some airtime for the issue. I would have classified the host as impartial which was amazing in and of itself on a NJ news station. Scott did a great job hitting the major points in the discussion. 1) police have no duty to protect you. 2) people have died because the process to even buy a firearm is convoluted and takes too long. 3) there is a statistical drop in crime in state which “shall issue” Only a couple minute segment but a great job getting some positive press. (No other 2a groups were trashed during the segment.)

Completely agree with points 1, 2 and 3. Sent from my SM-N950U1 using Tapatalk

And now 7 days ago UHGC offers a special discount to people who donate to NJ2AS. This is after NJ2AS tried to shake down Woodland Park and RTSP for sponsorship money and was refused. Money talks and everything but come on. Sent from my SM-N950U1 using Tapatalk

Looks like the weight limit isn't regulated by the FAA, it's set by airlines. https://www.faa.gov/about/initiatives/hazmat_safety/more_info/?hazmat=4 Sent from my SM-N950U1 using Tapatalk

11pounds is less than 40 50bmg catridges. For larger calibers, do you have any options for more weight allowance? Sent from my SM-N950U1 using Tapatalk

Has anyone flown with a large amount of ammo? My understanding is that you can bring up to 10 lbs of ammo I checked baggage. Where does this limit come from? Has anyone tried to check gunpowder (black or smokeless)? Is there a similar limit or is it zero? I've seen parcel carriers carry primed brass, but treat primers as hazmat. Where does this line get drawn? When I'm travelling, I often see deals but have little way to get them home. What have others been able to travel with? Sent from my SM-N950U1 using Tapatalk

I'm a big fan of the shoprite and Weiss shop at home setups. Shoprite will deliver right to your home and Weiss will do that shopping and then deliver to your car when you drive up. Never had a problem with either but I use Shoprite more for the convenience. Used it a ton when the kids were little. Sent from my SM-N950U1 using Tapatalk

Senate Bill S. 446 is currently clean and contains reciprocity only. Sent from my SM-N950U1 using Tapatalk

GOA just published the following. Looks like as expected the NICs bill and the Concealed Carry bill are being combined to create a poison pill. Yesterday, the House Rules Committee voted to combine the reciprocity and anti-gun "Fix NICS" bills (H.R. 38 and H.R. 4477). The combined bill now goes to the House floor, with votes scheduled for today. Because of the united push from gun control groups, the NRA and many House Republicans, the "Fix NICS" portion has an OVERWHELMING majority in the House. Not only that, a stand-alone "Fix NICS" bill has an OVERWHELMING majority in the Senate. This is further evidenced by the fact that Republican Senate leaders Mitch McConnell and John Cornyn -- along with Democrat leaders Chuck Schumer and Chris Murphy -- are all cosponsors and strongly supporting Fix NICS (S. 2135). So the result of passing the NICS bill apart from reciprocity would be for gun control to be fast-tracked to President Trump's desk, while reciprocity died under a Schumer-led filibuster. Interestingly, Senators Cornyn and Murphy did NOT want a combined bill because they want to send Fix NICS legislation to the President. Senator John Cornyn was quoted in the Daily Caller as saying: We have good bipartisan support for [Fix NICS]. It's really important and it will save lives, but if we start trying to add other things to it [like concealed carry reciprocity], then I think we risk not doing anything which has sort of been the fate of a lot of the legislation we've tried in the past. So, I'd like to do the fix NICS and then we can move on from there. Anti-gunners Oppose Combining the Two Bills Senator Cornyn was not alone in wanting to keep the bills separate. Democrat Senator Chris Murphy (CT) said that this combined bill would be D.O.A. in the Senate, as he considers concealed carry reciprocity a poison pill. And he was quoted in The Washington Post as saying that the combining of the two measures "is to risk nothing happening." Prominent anti-gunners in the House also oppose combining the two bills. When appearing before the House Rules Committee yesterday, Democrat Representatives Jerry Nadler (NY) and Sheila Jackson Lee (TX) argued against combining reciprocity and Fix NICS. Also appearing before the committee, Rep. Dina Titus (D-NV) complained that including concealed carry reciprocity in the bill was a "poison pill" that would kill the Fix NICS legislation. She announced that she wanted to offer an amendment to strike the concealed carry reciprocity language -- a request which was denied by the committee. Outside of Congress, Moms Demand Action does NOT want a combined bill because they want a Fix NICS bill without reciprocity. You can see their tweet here. Same with Bloomberg's Everytown, which opposes combining the two bills. What all these anti-gun legislators and groups realize is that merging the two bills would be the best way to kill the Fix NICS legislation. Unfortunately, because of a few Red State Democrats, we don't have the votes right now to overcome a Schumer filibuster of the reciprocity bill in the Senate. And that means that the most likely outcome of two separate bills moving through the House would be for the NICS bill to ultimately get signed into law while reciprocity dies. Now that the House Rules Committee has combined the two provisions, GOA is not advocating for the bill, because we don't want to pass a bill to make an unconstitutional system deny additional law-abiding citizens from exercising their rights. (You can view our earlier alert here to see why the Fix NICS bill could better be termed a "Traffic Ticket Gun Ban.") Having said this, gun owners should realize the silver lining that has emerged. The combined bill has tremendously frustrated the anti-gun Left, because now they fear the NICS bill is dead -- if the House passes the bill today. What Happens Now? So, the two provisions (both good and bad) have now been joined together in H.R. 38. The House is scheduled to vote on the combined bill today. Gun owners will assuredly want to know: What happens next? Well, if the House does pass Fix NICS with reciprocity, then the Senate will most likely kill the background check language because, as we stated above, leading Republicans and Democrats do NOT want the bills combined. As recently as yesterday, Senator Chris Murphy said that such a combined bill would be dead on arrival in the Senate. Of course, the Senate could attempt to strip the reciprocity portion of the bill and send only gun control back to the House. But having just passed reciprocity, the tables would be turned and a vote to pass Fix NICS as a stand-alone bill in the House at that point would be considered a vote to kill reciprocity -- putting our side in a much stronger position to vote it down. What happens if the House defeats the combined bill? If Senator Cornyn has his way, the Senate will quickly try to send a Fix NICS-only bill to the House. Will the Senate Move Quickly to Pass Fix NICS? When asked by The Daily Caller if Sen. Cornyn preferred to wait until the next Congress to pass concealed carry reciprocity, Cornyn replied, Well I want to get this background check problem fixed as soon as possible, hopefully even this week here in the Senate. And I don't want to do anything [such as reciprocity] to bog down our ability to get that done. I do think at some point we should take up constitutional carry, because I think it's important but combining them, I think, is to risk nothing happening. If the Senate were to pass a stand-alone NICS bill, the House would most likely agree to it and send the legislation to President Trump. So if the House defeats the bill today, we will have to expend a herculean effort in trying to kill the Traffic Ticket Gun Ban. And we will be calling on all our members to bombard their legislators in opposition to a bill that (sadly) has tremendous support in Congress. Things are happening quickly.

Don't overlook the idea that they could pass it by adding NICS "reform". Dirty tricks abound. Sent from my SM-N950U1 using Tapatalk

He made a beautiful custom amulet for my wife. Yellow gold, gave me the mould he used as part of the package and then custom fit the stones which were all matched very well. When she managed to dislodge a stone, he replaced it for free. Very satisfied. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Pro

You get both standards and then there is the one off from Bushmaster. Ar10 DPMS/Knights Armament/Fulton Armory Are the top two "Standards". Not sure who sells more. About 15 years ago. Bushmaster tried to make a new standard to use up surplus FAL mags. If memory serves, it flopped due to a bad bolt design. Sent from my SM-N950U1 using Tapatalk

How good do I have to be to join the team? I'm interested but a newb.

Is the difficulty in the barrel or some other part that's difficult to make? I bet you could make an ugly handguard from pvc pipe. Upper receiver, requires machining, 3d printing, or real inspired sheet metal work in layers. You can make springs at home with just a mandrel. Plunger for the assist probably can be home made. Check out some of the ugly zip guns people have made in third world countries.

I'm very glad it got addressed. Thank you for allowing that to get brought to the open forum. I wish the actual people involved could have responded as well.

I completely agree that the majority of the conference was excellent. It was just sad that we spend the entire time saying how we need to stand together to defeat Phil Murphy and then we attack our own. I'm satisfied as to the explanation given by Scott as to why he felt it was the wrong play and why the NRA wasnt getting involved but I couldn't help but notice how many of the presented "facts" were presented in a way to make a party who wasn't there and unable to respond look bad. Overall, a great array of people showed up for 2A education. That's awesome and I hope that this continues to grow. Probably the highlight of the day was the "New Germany" Freudian slip made by one of the speakers. I think everyone had a good laugh.
