.22lr conversion deal
They have not seen any problems with either nylon or steel. Since the lips are replaceable, go with the nylon and replace them if they ever wear. Just my $0.02

I'm pretty sure the requirement is there for SAFETY reasons. The same safety rules apply across all firearm platforms.

Why is ammo so expensive locally
You just need to buy it when its on sale. I have purchased many time $11 9mm, $14 .40 and $17 .45 at NJ B&M stores. You just have to look for the sales. If "you need it now" you are screwed

Beginner Classes
Like others have said I would suggest taking a Basic pistol or even a First Shots pistol course before you go on your own. I would also recommend taking the course from someone who makes there living as an instructor, not just a range officer who will instruct you for 1/2 an hour. They maintain business by word of mouth and reviews so they have a real good incentive to teach you and make it fun also. Look down at the vendors section of the forum there are many good instructors here.

Free NRA Basic Pistol Course
Not a criticism, just a suggestion. You might want to run your first class with experienced shooters. That way if you accidentally miss something one of the "students" could bring it up to you so you can make changes for following classes. Also you have a built in safety buffer as more experienced shooters are less likely to make dumb mistakes (muzzle sweep, finger on trigger) than someone with no training who is taking this course as an intro to shooting/firearms. Just a thought

Pediatric Group Says ‘the Safest Home for Children is a Home Without Guns’
How dare you spew that kind of rhetoric. The next thing you know, you'll be talking about personal responsibility. We can't have that in an evolved civilization.

A serious discussion
The owner is Maksim. He put this site up to help people in NJ learn about and discuss firearms related topics. He runs his own business and the forum is additional to his working day. It wouldn't surprise me at all if I found out the forum COSTS him money to keep up. I won't even mention the time he and the admins put in to keep the forum running. The threads were locked in the public sections because it is a political subject and there is a thread in the private politics section to discuss it.

tumbling AFTER loading?
Maybe a fmj 223 might be able to hit a primer but I can't see it hitting hard enogh to cause the primer to go off. I doubt a lead bullet (typically rounded or flat) would have any chance. I could see how the powder might get broken down by vibration, but the vibration wouldn't be worse than a couple of hours in a truck bouncing down the road.

tumbling AFTER loading?
Why is it a stupid idea? Tell me a ammo can full of bullets doesn't get bumped around during transit, tell me a 40 year old can of surplus hasn't been vibrated all over the place. The lube is typically seated inside the brass so you wont do anything to it. I have cleaned up some rounds in a vib cleaner with absolutely no issues. They were not lead but I don't see where this would be an issue.

Another transport question
Say I have inlaws coming to visit from NH. In NH they legally own a pistol. While here for a week, my inlaws are going to take a shooting class. Question: Would it be legal for them to transport the gun to my house, transport the gun to the range for the class, back to my house, and then finally take it with them when they go home?

Wild West City Owner Sentenced
Something not jiving here. So the owner of a property, plead guilty to having a gun on his property (a non crime), For a shooting, where he did not supply the ammo, load the gun or pull the trigger? No I'm not saying he's squeaking clean, obviously better supervision/safety checks should have been implemented. But at least make the sentence somewhat related to the act.
