So... if a cop questions someone on their CCWing... and looks at the permit, how much further do they tend to take it? Does a CCW stop require calling it in to confirm it? I mean, with the little to zero experience officers have with those permits, wouldn't they do so out of caution?

Honestly, if you plan on shooting far, then just get a 20" upper from PSA and an A2 style muzzle brake from Evolution Gun Works in PA... All in all you'll spend $500 and get everything you need for it to be NJ legal. EGW will even send pre-drill the brake for pinning as well ($10 extra). I don't really use my 14.5" carbine out past 100-200 yards... but even then it groups quite well.

I have this same upper with a BattleComp 1.5 on it... great shooter.

If it doesn't work right, you may not see anything, but just here the usual noises. The reason they are warning folks is for the latter so they don't assume anything is amiss.

Closing all the looney bins didn't help either. It really explains all the panhandlers and folks walking the streets in Philly...

I've been wanting to try IDPA... I have the equipment for it... sucks I have to put my holster on my pants' belt. I usually just use a dedicated pistol one that I can put on... especially over clothing in winter months, but oh wells. If that's one of the only major rules, then it's worth a shot. USPSA is just mind-boggling with what one can do with it though...

Civil unrest beginning in Oakland... http://sanfrancisco.cbslocal.com/2011/11/02/general-strike-protesters-shut-down-port-of-oakland/ http://apnews.myway.com/article/20111103/D9QP7IC80.html My friend who lives there hasn't been going to work because of this. These protesters are near all the BART stations and they are not friendly at all...

What punishment? The lunatics have been running the asylum for the last few decades over in Kalifornia...

Craigslist....

As I mentioned earlier, my friend did one recently. They won an auction at their local storage thing for like $150... a lot of it was mainly office chairs, tables, desks, etc. They took the items home, sorted them, and craigslisted them. Ended up making a decent chunk of change off all that, and they priced things to move quick (their mom didn't want the garage full of crap lol)

I'm prepared for a lot of -1s on this one... But what about veterans who aren't respectful of our freedoms or are even criminals? In the last 10 years or so, the military let in a lot of riff raff to keep the ranks full... a lot of gang members, rapists, and puppy throwers. While I don't mean to tarnish ALL veterans, there are a few of them that aren't really deserving of the respect that should be given to those who served with honor. Especially those who did not conduct themselves properly in the service of our nation by violating our own laws and treaties and those who were dishonorably discharged because of that. So maybe we can allow an exception for these folks? Also... all my life, I've heard of soldiers fighting and dying for our freedoms. And while some fights in recent years were intended to protect us from direct foreign threats (War on Terror, USA vs. Al Qaeda), some things were pretty far off the mark in terms of defending American "freedom" at home. How did invading Iraq (twice) constitute defending our freedoms? Or taking action in Libya? I only ask this, because it is a bit naive to assume that our warfighters are out there fighting and dying to make sure our freedoms are intact when they are usually in these hellholes because some fool of a politician wanted them there. I also feel it gives young folks the wrong idea when they make the decision to enter our nations armed forces... and when they end up in some god-forsaken foreign land with IEDs exploding all around them, then they may find the whole "fighting for our freedoms" line to be a bitter one to swallow. I'm also not going to say that is any fault of our fighting men and women, but something that can be attributed to the political leaders of our nation. All in all, I think those who made the sacrifice to serve our nation still deserve the utmost respect and honors of doing so. Furthermore... it appears to me that the greatest threat to American Rights and Freedoms today isn't some foreign oppressor... but the enemy within. Politicians in Washington DC and in our very own home state of New Jersey have done more to weaken our freedoms and sully the memory of those who died in defense of them than any foreign nation ever wished they could, yet they never got the pleasure of meeting a 2,000 lb laser guided bomb face to face. I guess what I'm trying to say here is: in a democracy... freedom is defended best by those who are vigilant of our elected officials and aware of the issues challenging our nation, and it is up to them to fight to ensure those freedoms remain intact and in accordance with the Constitution of the United States. Our votes here at home are just as important as the bullets, shells, and missiles we send downrange to vanquish enemies of our freedom, both foreign and domestic. Again, pleaseeeeee, please don't take this as some statement to discredit or disrespect our military, but I am curious to hear what veterans themselves think of the whole "we fought for your freedom" bit. This is an iffy one from a regulatory point of view... mainly because they operate within the DHS normally, and under the DoD in wartime (declaration or presidential order). Wouldn't they technically be a 'paramilitary' organization as opposed to a 'military' one? Just call them 'warfighters'. It's s widely applicable, non-gender denominated term. Though Obama wants us to stop using that one now too... that moron.

Right. The more I think about this: just bring em to an FFL first. If they are not NJ-compliant, have them Gunbroker it for you... or transfer it to a residence out of state. If they are NJ compliant, just have them transfer them. For pistols you may or may not need a PP since the guns are yours... Who the fugg knows. Prolly just easier to sell them all on the auction sites than keep em.

What are they gonna do? Arrest you for being a good citizen? These things happen. Just make sure they're unloaded, and make sure you get a receipt for the items you turned in. After you win the auction, they're technically your guns, so you don't want them getting lost in some PD's storage closet. Maybe an alternative is to bring them to an FFL? Then they can somehow transfer them to you? I dunno how that magic works though as it may cause headaches when it comes to their ATF book-keeping. They can probably file them under some kind of 'estate sale' as they would after someone passes away... The other option (which exists in a legal grey-area) is to just keep them. That is: if they meet NJ's firearms laws. If they violate NJ's AWB, then maybe you can ship them out of state? As long as you're not a prohibited person (felon) you may be in the clear on this. But who knows?

Yours to keep I guess? I was debating this with my buddy as well. While I've never done an auction myself, he and his brother did one and found an M2A1 ammo can that had a bunch of 30 round magazines in it. They aren't gun owners, nor did they have FPIDs, so they ended up turning them in to the local PD after I told them they were horribly illegal. I mean, when you win the unit, I assume everything inside becomes your property... so I guess you can turn the guns into the police and let them hold it until the original owner tries to claim them? Then release them back to you if you have a valid FPID?

What a ripoff... isn't DI the normal operating mechanism of the AR-15 platform? You can easily build a rifle like this one for way less than that!

http://www.businessinsider.com/occupy-oakland-to-encourage-occupation-of-foreclosed-properties-2011-11 With this OWS fad waning, the socialists and marxists are cooking up a scheme to squat in foreclosed properties as a way to stand up the banks... Maybe the would be a good time to enact Alan Greenspan's plan to save the housing/mortgage markets by burning down the excess supply?

Looking through the GATSO pics... this one was just hilarious!

Maybe a paintball gun can work?

The cameras inside are sometimes COTS DSLR Cameras. So if you ever wanted a cheap (illegal) way to get into photography...

The worst is the speed cameras in the Washington DC / Maryland area... ugh. Once you see that flash, you know they are gonna take a nice chunk of $$$ away from you.

This is the part of the opinion I'm more interested in reading about... the case isn't simply "does the 2A extend outside the home?", but also "what is the definition of a justifiable need?". That's usually the metric that decides whether you are getting a permit or not... But no one will know if their need is justified until a judge randomly determines if it is. I think when this hits SCOTUS (and I really hope it's a 'when' and not an 'if'), it will be decided that this ambiguous qualification goes far beyond what is considered a "reasonable regulation" of the 2A and will be found unconstitutional. NJ will (hopefully) be forced to re-do it's CCW permitting scheme. Sad thing is: even if we do win, it's not over. NJ is worse than Illinois in it's creation and enforcement of inane firearms regulation. They will probably allow CCW with a $500 fee, and utterly confusing training requirements designed to make the whole thing a PITA to accomplish. Then another lawsuit, etc.

Sorry... can't view videos on the this computer... just shows an empty space.

Yepp. I noticed that, I had two different windows open on the same topic and referenced the wrong one.

While we're on the subject... anyone see that these are available now? http://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/2011/10/31/glock-9mm-100-round-c-mag-magazine/ 100 round Glock C-Mag!
