My prediction-handgun ban/higher restrictions
I am generally optimistic. I believe that CCW in NJ had gone from a ghostly wet dream to a mythical unicorn.

Another mass shooting this time in Wisconsin
We can only assume It isn't really known if he made a mistake or not. That is just the current narrative on the situation. It is entirely possible that a white supremacist would want to kill sikhs just because they were non-whites. Once they said white supremacist the idea that he mistook one for another when he likley hated all should be reconsidered

revolutions not being reported
I'm not the kind of guy that sees socialists and communists under every rock, but workers rebellions (aka strikes and protests) are routinely called popular "revolution," by those particular political parties. Being that the spanish socialist party is actually an electable party in that country, I would say this is also the case here. As we have seen recently in the Arab states however, revolution takes on a decidedly bloody and warlike appearance. So hats off to the legacy of trotsky and Lenin, whose followers fantasize to affect change as they did. Protests were always called revolution by communist parties across the globe. In this case the economic failures of the country are being blamed on capitalism and those that are losing their entitlements (everyone in a socialist society) are angry. Again, I am not one to be extolling the virtues of capitalism and pointing at every little thing as a socialist plot. That is a thing that happens in this country. In Spain they have viable socialist and communist parties. So don't fall for the almost assuredly communist propaganda that calls a protest a revolution. That s-it is old, old school communist mind bending. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Permit question regarding mental health.
Hmm. The 5 days has got to be the thing here, I'm certain, despite getting a clean bill of health. Why and how exactly would be interesting to find out. I'm going to put finding out in my mix of things to do when I can. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Widespread protests over losing social benefits in democratic countries that are less than solvent is hardly compelling to me - and less so the masses if it is peaceful. Calling it a revolution is absurd. Calling it a revolution and then making the unsubstantiated claim that governments are making requests to the media to squash the story falls under "please pay attention to me." Yes, that's a lot of people. Show me this amount of people actually having a revolution and I will start to believe the protester's spin as we have seen it. Case and point; Google Spanish PROTESTS and see what you find. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Permit question regarding mental health.
Gotcha. How long were you actually there and who paid for the stay? I am trying to get some of the general information here so that I can get a better handle on what is flagged and kept as a record and what is not, so please don't think I am trying to judge what kind of person you were or are.

Okay but what you wrote is what i was really interested in. Your parents didn't recommend or a school counselor right? You just thought it out and showed up? I am hoping at some point my parents will stop taking vacations long enough so i can ask them about this sort of thing. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Did you know that buying 6,000 rounds of ammo is abnormal behavior?
Hell yea I would have a problem with that. First of all because there is already a mental health practitioner in the story, she thought he was a danger and nothing happened. Considering in another thread a 15 year old's visit to a hospital mote than a decade ago got him flagged applying for a FID,I find that appalling. There already are laws in place against the mentally ill having firearms, the trouble is that part of the health care system is completely underfunded. Underfunded to the point where they don't have enough people to go making house calls on people because they are buying ammunition. And what UPS driver makes two stops a day to a location when they can make just one? That sounds a little like bs to me Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

22 revolver for home defense?
Right. Now I think I might have sounded like I was insulting Nascar. I'm not. I do think it is hard to find a good round for a .22. I always keep all guns loaded with defense ammo and that includes my Ruger Mk III. The thing about .22 ammo is that the only constant is that most would prefer you skip the hollow points for various reasons. I am not getting rid of that pistol on those grounds but any bullet that says skip hollow points make me think a little. I bought a Walther PPK in .380 auto and I do not find that round very disturbing when shooting. With a modern polymer pistol in that caliber I think you could do very well. The Ruger LCP, for instance. I also have a Ruger LCR, with stock polymer and rubber grips, in .357 magnum and it takes .38 special. That particular pistol is very good for felt recoil and you can put some serious HD rounds in it without feeling anything worse than a you would with a steel .22 revolver. In the case of my wife, she is aware that range ammo and comfort over the course of a range trip are one thing, but personal defense is another. While the .22 is prefered for target shooting, she knows that she can't expect that level of long term ease and prefers to know that when its life and death she can deal with a little more snap. It isn't a hard sell tell tell her to take the Glock instead of the Mk III if we are talking about an intruder.

Scanners
I was skeptical. I have been converted. Holy F man I can absolutley understand the outrage. But I still have to say, rage against the scanners is a little misplaced. You have to believe that you are a gross, terrible acception, don't you?

22 revolver for home defense?
Um, thanks? But if I am not clear, I would recommend to the OP that if you are concerned about the lethality of the .22 you might have her try a .380 or .38 spl and see if it isn't too hard on her - if you were thinking you might want to upgrade. And I mean try as in before you buy, of course. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Right, because it would be far more effective to scan your plate at a gun store parking lot than not give you a P2P or FID.

22 revolver for home defense?
I agree with all that has been said. Of course you already have this revolver ( it seems) so it is kind of a mute point, but a .38 special doesn't have all that much more recoil that an .22. .380 auto is pretty light as well. There is more recoil but it is still managable.

I tell those that ask that it is the same reason people go to COSTCO - to save money.

Interesting though. On the one hand it is very important to have face to face contact and interaction to see what's what with a person if you are truly to see a mental state, but to think anything could be learned in the course of a retail sale by retail clerks is just absurd. It's like a wolf in sheeps clothing - or something.

DO NOT EAT AT NEW GREAT WALL IN BAYVILLE!!
It isn't the roach that is the problem. It is the probability that it came in contact with either poison or shit and is carrying it on the outside.

If I owned a gun store....
That;s great. I reload with Lee equipment and I just now realized that I really don't need to always use CCI. But the small pistol is just impossible to find in Northern NJ. I am very happy you guys are thinking ahead. It will also give me an excuse to look over some of those muskets. Smokin .50 put on a class and I am hooked.

Scanners
This is police work isn't it? find the stolen cars and the guys driving with a suspended license? Sure logging a person's whereabout for a few years is questioanable - but only if it actually happens. Even a P2P is destroyed when the tranaction is done. I think they have to answer a few questions about the record keeping to be sure, but hell, one cop raking through traffic in town finding the guys that got a DWI but are driving anyway? - Yea I'll pay taxes for that.

I'll l;et you know when I am ready for that. I just put a lot down on a new bike so I might have to wait on a large order. I'll let you know when I am ready for that. I just put a lot down on a new bike so I might have to wait on a large order. That would be great. Shoot a few hours at Chery Ridge, pick up the brass and get primers on the way home. Please let me know when this is done. Do you have any now?
