LOL, gas-operated failure. I wonder if AK-47 does something...

yankee hill's phantom comp / brake looks a lot like that: I have one. Those pointy ends are as close to a bayonet as we're gonna get.

I replaced my buddies protein powder with hot cocoa mix.

Join ANJPRC, and if you're arrested for no justifiable reason, you may have grounds for a lawsuit for wrongful arrest.

Trijicons cost way too much as it is...

You can buy a Colt.

Whatever you buy, be sure to shoot some at the range. There are differences in recoil between normal ammo and +P stuff that you may want to experience before trusting your life on them.

Militias are stupid; especially ones that advertise themselves as such. While most follow a noble cause in being 'defenders of freedom', you're no good to that cause when you're used as an impetus to increased gun control and increased scrutiny of those on the right wing. Train in secret, arm yourself in secret, and keep things small between those you trust. Don't boast, don't threaten, don't draw attention to yourself.

Have a fire, lose your firearms? Yeah, I don't get that. Also, exploding small arms ammo isn't really THAT dangerous. The fragments wouldn't even go through heavy cardboard if they weren't contained within a chamber/barrel.

I think things have changed at ADCO according to the FAQ on the website... I'm curious about PK90 though, if he can do the job quickly, it might be worth it to go to him. How is he on quality?

I am getting a muzzle brake pinned, and would like to use ADCO. So... let me get this procedure right: 1. Go to ADCO and purchase shop service. 2. Print out order confirmation. 3. Pack everything with instructions, and order confirmation, send to ADCO. 4. ADCO does work, repacks in same packaging. 5. (here is where I'm confused) they ship it back to you and charge you for return shipping?

Was it used in a crime or something? Or just turned in at a Toys for Gun thingy?

Then how about the brick and mortar shops try and provide something that the big sport shops and internet cannot? I've been in your store and the service was great, very friendly. But with the prices you charge I would certainly never buy ammo for you. As a customer, what incentive is there for me to pay your prices when I can not only save a bunch by ordering online, but also: - have a larger and easier selection that one's not your fault, I know the state requires ammo to be locked away or behind the counter out of reach. But having shopped in PA and NC where the ammo is just right there and I can browse boxes and compare is a huge loss. So on the internet I get a nice list and big pictures to look at and compare prices side by side and not have to wait. Not your fault though so skip this one - privacy also this one is not your fault, mandated by the state again, but I hate filling out a register for ammo as if I'm some sort of criminal, sex offender, etc. and having to put down all my personal information and exactly how many rounds of what I may own, not to mention NJ's transportation hassle. Online, I can just get a nice plain brown box discreetly shipped to my door. So between the state laws and all, really the only thing a brick and mortar shop can do is provide a good price. But because they rarely have a good price, I'm sorry but there's no incentive for me to buy there. At the very least, a price list would be nice. I know Firearms Guild in Rahway didn't have one.

:violin: Dont get me started.... It Sucks to see some REALLY nice stuff have to go to the Smelter because we arent allowed to sell it, including stuff like Grands and 03's from the families of Deceased Servicement who "Just dont want them in the house" I ALWAYS tried to steer the folks who enquired about turing them in to local FFL's just so they wouldnt be destroyed. Oh and before anyone starts in with the "The nice stuff goes to come cop's personal safe" crap, EVERY evidence/turn-in firearm comes with a ream of paper, that has to be verified between the County Prosecutor's and State police, then observers from ALL agencies involved have to verify each firearm as they go into the vat. They have even made the process to reatain stuff for departmental use so onerous that it's less hassle to just buy new. Given the fact that our state and localities are strapped for cash, it might be wise to allow police to sort through firearms and sell ones with value. Who cares if a gun was used in a crime... it's a thing of value that can bring needed money into our Police Departments.

Yeah, there is a way around it, cross the Delaware river and buy one. That's what most criminals are likely to do.

The question is: is there a market for it here in NJ? Is it a matter of 'they want to come, so build it"? Or "build it, and they will come". Morristown area is a young professional crowd, lot's of whom may be interested to get into shooting. If a proper business model is presented, would a bank be prone to loaning money out on this?

I love to hear when someone is off to buy their first AR...

So... I went to Bullet hole this weekend, and standing in line to shoot for 30 minutes after driving 45 got me to thinking: what are some major obstacles to opening a range in the Morristown area? Granted, the first is zoning issues, and getting permits. The other being money. So... Outdoor Range vs. Indoor Range: pros and cons of both? I feel in a more 'built up' area, an indoor range is preferable as the sound can be muffled or suppressed... however, you can only make a range so long (50 yards seems to be a practical maximum here). Lead remediation: is it easier indoors or outdoors? Ventilation: indoors requires investment in a good vent system to protect the shooters... outdoor ranges are... well outdoors. Gun shop: most ranges come attached to a gun shop where firearms can be sold, or even rented. However, this requires an FFL, which is quite costly. How feasible is it to have a range which only sells ammunition and other shooting supplies? Do you need an FFL to sell ammo and other supplies? Membership vs. Pay-as-you-go: I feel a hybrid of the two works best. From a business model standpoint, the members get perks for investing over the year, and provide a base level or revenue. Pay-go people provide additional revenue with less maintenance per dollar. Cooperation with local PDs: This can be helpful for the town and can help justify the construction of the range. Local PDs can use the range to practice for a discount. RSOs: are they needed all the time? Or only when Pay-gos are shooting. I understand in Members' only ranges, they don't require a full-time RSO on staff. And lastly: Return on Investment... Can a shooting range provide good money?

Charge-wise, it'd probably be about the same. "Improper Disposition of a Firearm" IIRC is the catch-all. and i have seen cops get charged with this in similar cases. He's a Dumbass, i dont know of ANY department that doesnt have a prohibition against being armed if you're drinking, and something liek this, even if it doesnt equal a criminal charge will probably net a pretty hefty Administrative Disciplinary Action, depending on his Disciplinary history, probably about a 15 day suspension., up to 30.. and those are work days not calendar days. If he's 5/2, that's 3 weeks as a minimum. If they work a Pittman, or similar 12 hour shift, it could work out to an entire month Suspended. ETA: This is a WAG on my part, i dont know enough about MPD and their schedule to do more than guess. Ouch!

I don't get it... cops are regular people prone to mistakes and being "human". I see no use in trying to de-humanize them into some kind of enemy. Sure, they can be annoying when they pull you over for going 15 over, or for being representatives of policies we don't like (I.E. delays in firearms permits, etc.), but most do a good job keeping the peace and upholding the law. Don't let a few bad apples ruin the whole thing, because like KDP and rcalzo say: "when you need them, you don't hesitate to call them". Now, back to the OP, I don't think it was directly addressed... but if a civilian left their firearm in a similar manner, would the punishment be far more severe? I feel that for a police officer, there may be greater leniency because they have CCW rights, and are generally "allowed" to carry firearms. For a civilian, a halfway aggressive DA can make their life a living hell... lord help them if the thing was loaded with HPs... they'll probably treat them worse than a terrorist with an A-Bomb.

Why? How pricey of a muzzle brake are we talking here?

Don't be silly. You would've called the police.

And now we are back to square one, handling the issue in a internal affairs investigation. Can you point to this offense in the state law? No, because it isn't there. It is the charge used when one is charged by the department. I find it odd that so many find it outrageous that this happened, which it is, yet had NJ groups opposed legislation that would have made it a criminal offense, yet that was even deleted. http://www.njleg.state.nj.us/2006/Bills ... 934_R1.PDF So is a lost firearm a serious issue or not? Is it serious when it only happens to someone else? A civilian would be responsible for at best a five hundred dollar fine. This guys fine could amount to several thousand. Equal treatment? By this I meant in regards to police leading by example. They are not only on the hook to enforce the laws, but should make it a point to follow them better than anyone else. Maybe I used the wrong term here... sorry. But it can be difficult for the civilian population to respect the police forces if they themselves are considered above the law. As for the difference in fines between a civilian and this police officer... given the circumstances, the civilian may be on the hook for more than a few hundred dollars. That is, if they were found to have left a gun in a backpack on the street after a heavy night of drinking. Does this not violate (for us) the many laws regarding the transport of firearms in this state? Lord help the person who does this and has hollowpoints in their backpack.
