What about things like the flash hider? Those still need to be NJ neutered right? Even since it's a pistol and not a rifle?

Why a silicone sock?

For the best Gun Safe deals, wait until for Black Friday/Christmas deals. If you're lucky like me, you may even be able to get a floor model with a steep discount. I got an 19 gun Stack On that was advertised as 30% off at Dicks... but the only one they had left was the display model, so they gave me another 20% on top of that... and then there was the $50 rebate (which took 7 months to get). Throw in a few friends and a borrowed truck, and what a deal! As for seeping water... just mount the thing up on cinder blocks or something.

So... are there any other AR-15 pistols outside of the Bushy Carbon-15 that are legal in NJ?

So... I understand AR pistols are legal in NJ unless they meet certain requirements... But do these requirements apply to the "pistol" as a whole? Or just the lower receiver? Seeing as the part with the serial number is the actual "gun" part, do Federal and NJ laws only apply to that? As for the weight requirement... does the apply to the gun at purchase? Or for it's entire lifetime? What if I add a bunch of crap to my revolver and put it over the weight limit? Is it then illegal? What if I get a Bushmaster Carbon-15 pistol and add an optic to it?

Well... if this was Nevada, I'd prolly keep a truck gun in my car (AR-15 or AK) and would've gone for that. Then waited outside the joint for the guy to walk out. But seeing as we're in NJ, I would've run for the hills. The only major issue I see with laying in wait for the guy is that police would mistake me for the gunman and just blow me away. Then the media and police would try to spin it as if I were helping the shooter.

New one with a different serial?

I heard there was a guy with a CCW on scene, but he had the wherewithal to realize he was outgunned and didn't confront the shooter.

Again, disagree. If a criminal is dumb enough to rob me when I have a CCW and tries to run away, why is it so awful to shoot some lead into him, regardless if he is running away? This isn't hunting where you should observe 'fair chase' rules, it's a matter of law and order.

I'm not gonna simply sit there and let someone run off with my money. Not if I can help it.

Him getting fired is an important part in maintaining the PD's moral capital. The taxpayers/public don't like it when folks who are supposed to be out there, doing a job on their dime, are fooling around and not doing their job.

Fired is perfectly reasonable. I'd expect to lose my job if I were caught probing a female while on the clock.

Unfortunately, in regards to the rank-and-file LEOs, a silent majority is no majority at all. As long as the chiefs and politicians get to claim their support without any rebuke, we civilians lose. It'd be nice if the rank and file spoke up once in awhile against their political masters, but given the probable response, I can see why they stay quiet.

After you mentioned the NJLawman's thread, I went over to check it out. It's a shame that LEOs who do think progressively in regards to Gun Rights don't have a much greater voice. That being said, those loudmouth LEOs who think they are better than the rest of us' really ruin things for the good cops out there and give ya'll a bad name. http://uslawman.websitetoolbox.com/post?id=4943470&trail=80

Major Pistol calibers: 9mm/.45acp/.357mag (and .38 spc) Easy, done.

Except for the fact that there is never an off-duty LEO around when you need one... just like an on-duty one. So it's not really a great benefit at all. The other thing is how the police approach the issue themselves... they harp up their right to carry while simultaneously putting down the right of civilians to carry, because they have magic police training or a need more supposedly justifiable than anyone elses. Like you and I... but better. (Or, "all animals are equal, just some are more equal than others")

Sounds like a bad hollywood cop movie. How often does this actually happen, where a criminal freshly released from prison, tracks down the one cop who got him?

You could always call the police if you see that happening... ...or allow CCWers to be protected under Good Samaritan laws. Where, if they acted within the law to defend someone or stop a crime, they wouldn't be held liable.

It's silly to change it if we think it'll make any difference to the creeps in Trenton. If they want to take our crap, they can just change the rules accordingly and grab them.

I don't get it... if it looks like a ducks, walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, I think we have a reasonable idea that what we're looking at is a duck. Same with 'AK Variants'... just call it 'AK pattern' instead... it is what it is.

Why can't we simply call it 'AK Pattern'? It's not like this is some big secret you know...

Ahhhh! Thank you. I though the allen nut was to disassemble the thing, not a spring tensioner.

Hey all. I recently bought a Ruger 10/22 mag (new, in box) from Cabelas. Took it to the range today, and the stupid thing doesn't work. I loaded one .22lr into it, and then it crapped out as if the spring broke. To unload it, I had to tap it so each bullet so all the bullets ended up rotating out. Has anyone had problems like this with their Ruger mags?

Arghhhh!! For real? The bike thief had it coming though!

That is only intended to stop the Gov't from depriving you of those things, not regular citizens. Also, let's flip it around, of this guy stole my money/car/etc, then isn't he depriving me of my property without due process of law?
