Storing Ammo in an Ammo can..
Absolutely, just as a safeguard I throw in a desiccant bag or an open bag of rice. Keeps the humidity down for long storage. PS: mine came in also. Never saw such a clean ammo can.

90 year old fights back
A trial on who? The old man or the scumbag? Sounds like a slam dunk against the scumbag. He claims he shot himself 3 times, when he probably doesn't own gun in that caliber. Trial on the old man? HUH, he shot the scumbag after he was shot himself. I think he should get a medal not a trial.

NY/NJ Questions
Pistols are probably ok ( no mags>15 rounds) Make sure the AR doesn't have an extra evil feature or its a nogo in NJ. (pinned/welded muzzle break, no bayo lug, non collapsable stock, 15 round max mags)

Requirement of Disclosure
Don't lie but don't answer either. Officer: Have any firearms in the car? You: Why would you ask that? No lie and no acknowledgement. Nappen and GFH radio just had this question

How clean does the brass need to be?
Thats as clean as it needs to be. You're really just trying to get any grit off that can damage your press. You can go crazy trying to get them perfect but you won't see much gain in pistol. If you are shooting precion rifle, getting the insides clean may help some. Like Jon said a little nufinish in the mix gets the ousides like new. Run a capful in JUST THE MEDIA for 15 minutes to get it mixed in good.. Only need to add the polish after changing media.

Probably why you should'nt open carry.
All this open carry vs ccw discussion makes the assumption you are going to be attacked whether open or ccw. Isn't the best incident a non-incident? By this I mean, a bad guy is looking for a victim, he sees an open carrier. Bad guy now has to think is going after this guy worth getting shot or should he wait for a "softer" target. If he is detered from attacking open carry worked. If BG is out for a score no matter what then CCW would be better, presenting him a challenge he didn't expect. Since you can't know which way the BG will think, I'd say go with the method you ate most proficient at.

Putting in an offer on a home (1st home)
Take a walk around the property after a good rain, lots of things like grading issues and leaky gutters show up but would not be obvious on a dry day.

Putting in an offer on a home (1st home)
Get a good real estate lawyer and have a home inspection. There is a lot of questionable work done by home owners and you don't want to be stuck holding the bag to get it fixed.

Starting reloading pistol or shotshell first what to get
You can spend as little as a couple hundred or more than a grand depending on how you equip yourself. Figure out what your budget is and how much and of what (pistol, rifle, shotgun) you plan on shooting. Post that up. That would help with the suggestions

Federal American Eagle Issues
Cleaning the .38 residue out is not easy. It does take some work. I would expect you are going to get the same results with the Win ammo. Shine a light from the barrel end of the cylinder, while looking from the hammer side you will see the soot ring ~1/4" back from the front end on the cylinder.

Bad range day in Millstone today...Cops visited
Like you said, watch out for new ordinance coming down the pipeline. Stay aware of whats going on in town hall. The complainer might **** and moan to the mayor / town council and if no one is there to refute what they say a stupid ordinance may make it through.

At least it's not a rehash of a comic book or a 70's TV show

Probably why you should'nt open carry.
When you say 10%, that means 10% of all LEO shootings are with their own gun? That seems like an awful big percentage to me. I would guess that few guns were "snatched" before being used to shoot the LEO, versus LEO being overpowered and then having his gun stolen and turned on him. Any thoughts?

How does Fox news really feel about free speech?
Fox was looking for a reason to can him and this was it. Fox has an "any republican except Ron Paul" attitude towards the primaries and political coverage. Napolitano wouldn't toe the company line and actively supported / interviewed Paul.

Recording the Police
Don't know if this made it any higher up the court chain but this would lead me to believe videoing is legal as long as you are in a public area.

NJ PTPP Applications—Contacting Employers
At my last company, a (multi-billion dollar place), they had a separate phone number run by a contracted company to do employment verifications. All that company would do was say, yes he works here or no he doesn't and that's it. I think there where a bunch of law suits about companies giving out information about their employees that was somehow considered private information.

Probably why you should'nt open carry.
Just a question how many people sneak up on uniformed LEO's, and steal their open carried gun, in a year? Not many I'd bet. Be aware of your surroundings, not a text messageing vegetable and it makes it real hard for someone to sneak up on you.

Federal American Eagle Issues
This is whats happening. You just need to clean the cylinder and you'll be good to go. Look on Brownells for Lewis lead remover. It works really well for cleaning residue out of the cylinder. Another trick, if you have a reloading press, is to lightly bell out the end of a 357 brass and push it into the cylinder. This will scrape the residue away.

1k to spend what to get
I'd go for a Spartan/Mossberg combo. It'll run a little over a grand but, who said shooting is cheap

Pistol Face-to-Face Purchase
I'd say this is the best way. Unless you know the person you are selling to, very well, I would not invite them into my house for the transaction. At a range, it's generally a public place where the possession of a firearm is usually not questioned.

Marine shot dead in front of his kids!
99.999999999% of the time. Edit: Disregard I was reading from the bottom of the thread and didn't follow the conversation. I agree you can just as well be kicked or punched to death, as being shot.
