Yes, if you weren't Black or Jewish, it was great... It wasn't that long ago that my mother parents couldn't sleep in certain hotels because her last name was Resnick... I wouldn't exactly call that civilized.

Funny, then you think th Funny, you would figure that after enough reading they would come around to our way of thinking.

+1. This is exactly what happens. You are fine.

When I think of legal gun owners "becoming" criminals, I tend to think of crimes of passion and revenge shootings. A woman looks in her husband's briefcase, finds a pair of panties, goes and get's her husband's legally owned S&W 686 from her husbands dresser drawer and shoots him in the head. This is one of those cases where the Violence Policy Center is right. If you have a gun in the home you are more likely to be killed by a gun. But of course, If you keep a tiger as a pet, you are more likely to get mauled by a tiger. If you own a pool, you are more likely to drown... and so on. I also think that there are many people who are afraid of somebody "snapping." I think this is what people like Baraka mean when they say that the law abiding can become criminals. Somebody gets fired, they feel wronged, they go home, get their gun and come back to work. You may be rolling your eyes right now, but it does happen. In almost any other state, a guy can get fired, go directly to the gun store, buy a gun and ammo in 30 minutes and come back to the office. This *never* happens in New Jersey. What we have to understand is that people like Baraka genuinely think that when a person buys a gun for purposes other than hunting, they believe that person becomes a potential time bomb. You may disagree with this theory, and I do too, but this is what they think. They can wrap their heads around hunting and skeet. They may even be able to understand wanting to keep a revolver in a safe by your bed. But this is what they mean when they look at an AR-15 and call it a "weapon of war." They can think of no useful purpose at all other than killing as many human beings as quickly as possible. There is also no way of preventing crimes of passion at all if a gun is already in the house. None. The only way to prevent it is to reduce the number of firearms in households, something NJ has done very well. There is no way of preventing revenge shootings unless, again, you make firearms acquisition so hard that it's impossible to get a gun easily. The question is whether you are willing to accept the good with the bad. If you want Freedom of Speech, you have to accept Martian Luther King and you have to accept the Westboro Baptist Church. If you want the aility to protect yourself, you also have to accept that once in a while, someone is going to get a hold of a gun and do something horrible with it. The people we are fighting only see the bad. We just have to figure out how to convince other how to see the good.

The Sig P229 is a fine gun. The cops down here in Cherry Hill carry it in .40 Cal. Please take a look at the video below and consider joining NJ2AS.org

It is my strong suggestion that you get a 4" .38 Caliber (or .357) and put the pink grips on later. She won't be able to hit a darn thing with a 2" revolver and that is not what you want for a first time shooter. If she is dead set on a snubby, consider a .22LR or .22 Magnum pistol. It's a bit more controllable. A .22 is sub-optimal, but I wouldn't want to get shot with anything.

Yes. And if you own a business, you can carry open or concealed on your property as well. Just don't be that guy. There is a difference between being the guy with a concealed gun when somebody comes to your house to pick up an item you sold on Craigslist and being the guy with a AR-15 on his shoulder.

Very, very well done.

+1 the kitchen tables of NJ are filled with references that friends have forgotten to fill out.

I think so...

One step ahead of you. Here is the view from the front: I think there are at least 1000 people here.

Here, I fixed it for you...

"Would you please tell the Jury what the Defendant was using?" "He was using 9mm Full Metal Jacket 124 grain Winchester NATO." "And can you tell me who primarily uses that ammunition." "Well, the US Army for starters." "So you are saying the defendant put war caliber ammunition in his pistol?" ... Like I said I'd rather have something on the box that says "Guardian Home Defense." Not criticizing, they can twist anything.

That is true. The media must be scratching their heads over that one. Why are there so many gun-rights supporters at the meeting? I think the real reason is that most antis are "Facebook Antis." They are passively anti, and yes, they do outnumber us. But what makes somebody a vocal anti? The death of a loved one from gun violence is one factor. Being a kook is another. From the look on her face in the Channel 12 interview, she was a kook, one of those people who are genuinely afraid of guns to the point of hysteria. I think there will always be more pro-gun types at these meetings because we have something to lose. An anti... well he doesn't lose his personal property or heritage if he doesn't get his way.

I don't think it would be mentioned in a police dispatch. Certainly in a report, . But not a dispatch. I think the genuine fear is that God forbid you get into a shooting and you do everything right but one little thing. Maybe you shot the guy twice in the chest and as you were shooting he turned to run and you hit him in the back (because you keep shooting until the target is no longer a threat, right?) Or let's say the springs in your gun are a little worn, and when the police confiscate the gun for testing, they find that they can put 16 bullets in the magazine if they push really hard. The real gist behind hollow points is that they are only illegal during the commission of a crime. Like I said. All you need is a prosecutor who wants to make a name for himself... better to go with the Guard Dog or Critical Defense or Pow-r-ball. I like ammunition that says "Defense" on the packaging. It's one less think to worry about.

#1. Please tell us which gun shop. #2. I use Hornady Critical Defense just because I like the little polymer rubber ball that helps with feeding and yes, I'd rather use ammo that says "Critical Defense" than "Black Talon Teflon-coated Flesh-Ripper." God forbid I ever do get into a shooting and some prosecutor wants to make a name for himself, at least I'll have that going for me.
