Even if I lived in a 'free state', I wouldn't even want one... loading that thing is prolly a PITA...

Oh, I was just asking if there was an actual portion of the competition that took place in low-light. Good to know. I guess the light might be a bit unfair... but then again, everyone has the option to mount one if they please.

Is there actual shooting in low-light settings for these competitions? Or is it more of a weight/balance thing on the pistol where the light helps keep muzzle flip down?

Good question... Most cops don't even know the ins and outs of NJ's firearms law to begin with, but they tend to err on the side of caution and would most-likely call it in to double check your CCW status. I'm sure when they do the background check to the NJSP you will have a little note on your file with your CCW info. Only issue with forging an FPID is that you need a valid ID number to actually buy a gun using NICS (they keep track of that). Don't really see any usefulness out of doing that... Maybe buy handgun ammo in state (in lieu of jumping the border to PA)? Or fleece someone in a face-to-face transfer (where it's pretty much an honor system)? Though the last one would be really tough to pull off seeing as few people do FtFs without actually knowing the person they're transferring the firearm to.

Usually those are one in the same... :senile:

I never saw that as an issue... seems simple enough: drop the mag, rack the slide a few time, visually inspect, pull trigger to disassemble. Cartridges don't magically materialize in the chamber... but if they did, then that would be one hell of an awesome feature and would sure cut down on my ammo costs.

I think that's similar to the type of shooting I was referring to.

Can't wait to move down there...

Are UBRs definitely considered to be non-compliant? They don't 'telescope' in the mechanical sense...

If the NJ media lets a story like this get out. But I suspect any LEO in NJ giving such sage advice would find themselves out of a job, or as close to being shitcanned as possible.

Right... but I was asking if that was what bbk was referring to when discussing crouching and canting from behind cover while minimizing one's profile.

Depends on the situation and its application. This isn't really useful when you're already running and gunning, but if you have a suspect inside a building or someone you need to keep eyes on, this type of position will allow you to keep the rifle at the ready while also reducing your profile. An example would be if SWAT is sitting outside a house behind vehicles waiting for someone to surrender or exit, or just keeping and eye on the situation. Just something I read about awhile back.

I got a -1 for this?

I've read some articles where they now train to lay the rifle on it's side over your cover and to only pop up enough to look through the RDS (thus only exposing the top half of your head). This as opposed to the traditional method of shouldering the rifle and looking over cover, which exposes a lot more of your head/upper-body. Is this similar to what you're talking about?

I just love flying and spotting from the fighter jets... mainly the A-10... I just cruise around using free look to spot enemy units, then find a target that is easy pickins and light it up. Then go back, loiter some more. Little birds are also fun as hell... Nothing like being a fast little mobile spawn with some teeth. I've gotten good enough where I can easily fly under bridges and even inside some buildings. Not to mention hitting the deck to avoid AA fire without crashing. Ground-based AA is a pain in the a** to deal with... but your best friend in the world when on your team. Nothing like leading enemy fighters to my ally and having them chase me while the AA gun is taking them out. Aside from that, I spend a lot of time as an engineer and assault class. Driving MBTs and laying mines... fun times.

http://www.wyff4.com/r/29638219/detail.html Sherrif basically calling it as he sees it. Acknowledges that law enforcement can't protect you while simultaneously bashing the justice system for it's inability to lock up folks who really deserve it.

TLR-1 is a pretty nice one. I have one that I can mount on pistols or rifles, but usually do not.

Benelli should also get a nod too. They seem to be in similar price ranges to higher end Mossys and Remmys.

That's weird... they shipped me my 500 without asking for an FPID. Did you order pistol ammo or rifle ammo?

Pardner's are chinese made Remington 870s with less plastic and more steel. They have some issues with dimensioning and tolerancing and may need some polishing for smooth operation. They're good if you want a cheap economical shotgun, but I would get a name brand.

Especially when the kids are outgrowing their equipment every year or so. Fortunately, this leads to an excellent consignment market for such things.

Airsoft is pretty neat. I wish they had things like indoor paintball where you can take an empty apartment building and duke it out inside. Woodsball is fun, but can be aggravating due to the balls breaking on branches and stuff.

I had something similar happen to me today in Morristown. I didn't exactly hit the curb, but grazed it when trying to go around another car. Did some nasty cosmetic damage to my rim, but luckily we made it back okay. 2 years ago though, I broker a tie rod (or something) hitting a curb... so I know your pain. Definitely staying off the roads for the rest of the day. I hope we still have power too... lights are flickering a little bit.

The trees in front of my balcony are sagging dangerously low. Maybe because the leaves haven't fallen yet, but also because they were soaked when the temperature dropped. Parents in Clark lost power already.

They need a 'How It's Made' of guns... I'd love to see how AR-15s are built from the ground up, and how they do mass assembly of lower receivers.
