Thoughts?

Pistols, I usually do 5 in a mag. Rifles I do 3-4... this, for me, is based on the boxes of ammunition. Pistol ammo is usually in 50 round boxes with 10 rows of 5 cartridges. Rifle ammo typically comes in boxes of 20 (sometimes 30 for milsurp stuff), so there you want to do shoots of 3-4. Depends on the type of shooting you want to do. Slow-fire fundamental stuff, you don't need full mags... sighting in a rifle doesn't require a full mag either.

NJSP would keep track of stuff like that. They manage to count to 30 every now and then when it comes to buying pistols, so applications are easy to keep track of.

Nevermind.

Yeaaah, but doesn't that cause a whole host of issues when trying to get a pistol permit of change of address FPID? Especially filling out the part about being denied a permit...

Depends on how well-connected they are (like if daddy is the superintendent of the NJSP). Folks CCWing from out-of-state who were passing through have been caught and brutally punished though.

How do you guys do these welds yourself?

The Supreme Court of the United States... where else?

Don't forget to cut speed and use your afterburner. Slower speeds mean you can turn tighter, and more importantly: let the enemy pass you buy. But if he is way far behind you, then you're a sitting duck. Usually you can tell their close when you hear the gun going off... or if a team mate spots them for you.

Isn't an appeal part of the plan? This case was just heard in our district circuit court, and as long as a differing opinion is held by another appeals court, then SCOTUS will be obligated to hear it, right?

Battlefield fighter basics, get as high as you can and hope someone is spotting those enemy planes for you. But it's still annoying none the less, especially since you need to kill things with that airplane to make it worthwhile.

Looks like someone is gonna add to his signature line...

Graphics are about the same. I lowered my graphics capability to help run the game more smoothly.

I think I really hate this game. Maybe because I'm playing on PC... just something about it that makes me want to hate it. I loved BF:BC2 on the PS3, but this game... I just don't know. I also find flying extremely frustrating. I've been on flight practice servers trying to hone my skills, but how my joystick translates to flight controls in the game make it very frustrating. Though... flying choppers is very easy though. How have you guys been liking it?

What is considered a 'high velocity' round? FN 5.7MM? .357 Sig? 9mm +P+?

Glock 26 or 19, M&P, H&K, and even an XD.

It really just goes to show that this law, while effective at stopping law-abiding folks like us, is no deterrent to those who cause harm. It seems like it would literally take a sting operation on every face to face purchase in states which allow them to even enforce it. I was simply just questioning the effectiveness of such statutes and pointing out the fallacy in even having them. Apparently, folks here are uncomfortable about... what exactly? That I asked how this type of stuff is even enforceable? The OP originally brought up the topic of buying a firearm at a PA gun show. Seeing as most gun shows are full of private citizens and not FFLs, I naturally assumed any transaction done would be a face-to-face, and that like New Jersey, those transactions are not controlled via NICS or require a 4473. The big difference between PA and NJ is that we require a COE in NJ, PA does not. So the topic shifted to discussing the prospect of buying a firearm in a face-to-face transfer in a PA gun show, and what the harm that would be, especially since there is no 'gun registration' scheme in the United States, and that the FPID/Pistol Permit system we have in NJ is limited by our state's borders. So the answer was: you can't do face-to-face transfers at all across state lines as this would violate Federal Law. But I was just curious to ask: how would anyone know? (if you never intended to use the gun in a criminal manner) I mean, in NJ, you can own firearms without any paperwork if you bought them when living out of state. Heck, you could've lived in PA and bought a few via face-to-face prior to moving to NJ. Then throw in a few more hypothetical questions and me basically pointing out the fallacy of such interstate laws, and we have the thread we're at. All the answers to the questions have been settled: -No you don't need a COE to buy from an FFL -No you cannot do FtF transfers and cross state lines -Yes, the laws governing these transaction are enforced, but typically require a sting at the point of sale, or possessing a firearm recorded in the use of a crime. If you didn't like where the discussion topic was going, you could have simply deleted the posts early on and PM'ed your concerns to me. But a few here took the low route and simply started bashing me. I'm a pretty reasonable person and willing to accept fault and as such I did not mean to piss you all off. So I apologize if I hurt any feelings or caused any undo concern. I understand you are all looking out for the community at large and I was not aware that my line of questioning would raise some ire. I feel that these discussions can be helpful though, especially when trying to figure out the mess that is the firearms law within our nation and our state.

I think the way eTrace works is that they're only traceable to their last point of sale via FFL or if it was used in a crime. I don't think they are registered to a specific name. Though, I could be wrong (and most probably am)... So if the police snoop that and find the gun was recently used in a crime, then yeah, that'll get the water boiling. If not, then so what? It's just another gun. The most they can do after that is check to see if you're a prohibited person who is not legally allowed to own a firearm... but if that comes back clean...? Let's flip this around: what if you got a gun via inheritance, and you got into that same accident. If I recall correctly, you don't need an FPID to receive guns from inheritance if within the same state (or some silly BS), and therefor wouldn't have any paperwork to show any ownership of that. And if you have a different name from the person you inherited the firearms from? Or how about this more NJ-centric scenario: you're building an AR-15 upper. You attach the barrel to the upper receiver and the police barge in with a no-knock warrant on the wrong (your) address. They see you have the barrel, unthreaded... are you screwed? It would appear that you'd have to be under intense scrutiny to even warrant such a deep down investigation such as you described. One can be caught in an ATF sting as well, and this appears to be the only way to enforce compliance to the Federal Law on the trafficking of firearms. But then again, the same can be said for buying cigarettes in North Carolina and driving them up 95... They probably did, hoping their badges would shield them from scrutiny. But when you make a whole operation out of illegally transporting goods across state lines, then you tend to draw the ire of major law enforcement organizations.

Seeing as I got the Radek award today (thanks Maks), why did this guy get banned? Didn't he post deals and not follow up on them or something?

And the point I tried to make is: how will anyone know you did what you did if you never use the particular firearm in a manner deserving of any scrutiny (i.e. committing a crime)? As for the bolded part, I think Mayor Bloomberg and his MAIG video crews get away with that often enough. But hey, they're breaking the law for good reason, right?

And that means what to who? Is it criminally conspiratorial to ask how a law is enforced? Or to point out the fact that it is difficult to enforce? It's a weapon. I didn't buy one because it shoots rainbows and lollipops.

The wife. Just because you're married doesn't mean you're entitled to sexually assault her. Sexual assault can be construed as a form of domestic violence... though proving that would be immensely difficult. This is, of course, under the assumption that you did not enter into a mutual agreement with her allowing such things. Who knows... whatever floats your marital boat.

Also, laws also kinda derive from the power of being enforced and punished. A law that is not enforceable is a law that also lacks a punishment. At least from a philosophical standpoint.

I think the moral implications of taking a life differ a bit from say... stealing candy from a supermarket. One is murder, and one is theft, but both have victims. In djg0770's example of date raping someone (which was weird to see posted here), there is a victim. So, who is getting hurt/victimized if a firearm is illegally procured and transported across state lines? I bet there were plenty of instances prior to McDonald v. Chicago where illegally owned firearms were used in legitimate cases of defense. Does that fact make those people worse (morally) than you or I?
