Thinking about a .45, depending on new firearms laws
I was just at the gun store today thinking about this. I wouldn't feel under-gunned with 10 rounds of 9mm, but I would rather have 15. Also note that whatever the government decides has to become law first. That may take some time, if it happens at all. So I wouldn't go out and buy a new platform, especially if we don't know whether our old mags will be grandfathered in. If they are grandfathered in, you don"t have to worry about a thing. I would consider a PX4 in 45 ACP if our mags were not grandfathered in, but we ave to see what happens first.

Firearm Storage Options - Safe / Cost Efficient / Discrete
Much of it depends on what you you consider your threat level to be. There is no such thing as a burglar-proof safe, safes just slow a burglar down. If you don't intend on quick access and want something inexpensive that can keep your guns away from your kids or a common burglar who just wants prescription meds or gold, get a 10 gun Stack-on Safe from Dicks Sporting Goods and call it a day. It's not exactly transportable, but they go on sale periodically and for $120, just get a new safe if you ever move and don't feel like unbolting it from the wall. If you want a bit of an upgrade, there is this corner safe from Sentry that will hold a shotgun or an AR and a few magazines. If you remove some of the hardware, it can fit a shotgun in there too. http://www.deansafe.com/sentry-safe-home-defense-center.html

The panic has to stop.... Some really dumb or uninformed people
Yeah, coffee came out of my nose on that one. The idea that Texas would accept a post-ban AR ... wow.

Kel Tec PMR-30
Well, PMR 15 if you can get the magazines pinned. You know, if you threw a stock and longer barrel on that thing, you'd have a nice little SD Sub Gun. Almost like a poor man's MP7 or P90. .22 Magnum is nothing to scoff at.

finally 21!! Time to get pistol permit. Need help
I don't know what Freehold is like for wait times. My suggestion is that for every week that you wait, put away $100. By the time you get your permits, you will have enough money for a nice Beretta. And you *are* getting a Beretta, right?

GOA's Larry Pratt Schools Piers Morgan
I think's it's the American spelling of the word "Fighting." Fixed easy enough by downloading and photoshopping I suppose. I didn't even notice it until you pointed it out.

I think this just about says it all... I'm still waiting for him to slip up and call us colonists.

AWB - All or just certain Calibers?
#1. We don't know what a new AWB will look like. Heck, we don't even know if that is one of the things this "commission" may dream up. I #2. The government gets a bug up its a$$ and tries to ban certain calibers every once in a while. I remember when hollow points were called "Cop killer bullets." There was a halfhearted attempt at banning 5.7mm and the Five SeveN pistol after the Ft. Hood shooting. Caliber bans don't go over too well. California succeed in banning .50 Caliber rifles. #3. Back after the NJ AWB, you basically had a short window to register the guns with the state or sell them out of state. I think that fewer than 2000 weapons were registered. #4. I don't remember a lot of AK's or M-16's back before the original NJ AWB. The Ruger Mini-14 was probably the most popular .223 rifle. For the most part, the AR-15s were all 20" full-sized Colts. AR-15's were expensive (I want to say about $1,500 - $1,800) and I think only Colt and Bushmaster were around, which is why the Mini-14 was so popular. You could get one for $800, which is almost touching what an AR Costs now. The original AWB was a solution in search of a problem, the rifles weren't that popular to being with, which is probably why it was so easy to ban them.

what can we do?
Well, I can give you 4 suggestions #1. Are you are member of the NRA? If not, join them. #2. Are you a member of NJ2AS? If not, join right here: www.nj2as.org #3. Are you a member of SAF? If not, go here and join www.saf.org And finally, #4. When was the last time you took somebody to the range? We convert people one range trip at a time, my friend. One range trip at a time. I count five new New Jersey Gun owners that would never have gotten their FID if I hadn't taken them on that first range trip. Now if they could only convert five more... and so on...

I finally found a Senior Programmer after hundreds of resumes tens of phone interviews and face to face interviews that didn't work out. Now I'm having trouble getting his salary approved so I can extend an offer...

When you interview your account ask him what 2+2 is. If the accountant answers "4" don't hire them. Hire the guy who asks you in return: "Well, what number do you want it to be?"

Obama/Biden making statement on gun control NOW (12/19 noon)
Biden is a hunter and owns Semi-auto Berettas. So My fear would be another "assault weapons" ban, which really wouldn't make a difference in NJ since we have one (and so did Connecticut) or a magazine capacity ban. If Biden was smart, he would make the Capacity ban like NJ's or MA's and cap it at 15 or 17, so people with most handguns wouldn't be effected. Once people who don't have AR's breath a sigh of relief, there will be a lot less resistance to getting an AWB through.

Ideas for Gun Control
Here's the problem, and I've mentioned this before. There are still some areas of the country where a gun is a farm tool. There are still areas of the country where a rancher will give a rifle to a farmhand and tell him that it's his turn to shoot prairie dogs that day. Or where a guy working for a grain elevator carriers a .22 revolver to kill the mice in the grain silo. Pigs are still slaughtered with .22LR rifles. We would need some sort of provision to allow workplace-related temporary firearms transfers. I wouldn't mind calling NICS for a genuine face to face sale, though. What I don't like is that this "dialog" about gun control seems to mean, we listen while the gun banners tell use what we think. In a compromise we get something and they get something. They seem to think "dialog" means "talk at us."

Timming on Assult Weapon Ban and what it means in NJ
I can't vouch for the AK, although a few use the SKS as a hunting rifle since the ballistics of the cartridge is very similar to the 30/30. There are quite a few people who use the AR as a gun for killing coyotes and prairie dogs since coyotes eat livestock and prairie dogs create holes which could break the legs of cattle.

Timming on Assult Weapon Ban and what it means in NJ
You kind of do... they've been calling it an "assault type." Which I suppose makes my father in law's Chevy Impala a "NASCAR Type" vehicle. What do you need a car that goes 120 miles per hour for! What if you drove it recklessly and into some children? The only people who need a car that can go 120 miles per hour is the police!

15 Round Mags...
+ 1. As much as people like to gnash their teeth and talk about "liberals," Sweeny isn't going to let anything come to the floor in NJ. My only hope is Corey Booker runs for Senate and he goes to the federal level where he can do the least amount of damage to our rights.

School me on the "gun show loophole"
The only problem I have in outlawing FTF transactions is that it basically makes it impossible to use firearms in agriculture. There are still plenty of places in this country where pigs are still slaughtered with a .22 rifle. There are plenty of farmers who hand a rifle to their ranch hands and tell them to get rid of the gophers in the field. I wouldn't mind requiring a background check for FTF transaction if the proper exceptions were made for family gifts and employment-based transfers. In NJ, we don't have this problem because everybody has an FID and you know that the person you are selling to passed a background check at one point in time.

15 Round Mags...
Depends on a lot of stuff. NJ Assemblyman Lou Greenwald submits a 10 round ban every year and every year Senator Sweeny refuses to let it go to the floor. When he tried to do it 2 years ago, I spoke with his staff and they said that there would be no grandfathering and my magazines would have to be turned over to the police. That's when I joined NJ2AS. My magazines have a substantial dollar value and Greenwald tried the screw the wrong Jew. You want to mess with my guns, fine. Don't mess with my money. Federally, I don't see confiscation. Statewide... maybe. But the NJ assembly has been surprisingly quiet on the issue.

Question on "removeable magazine"
I agree. Weld the magazine, then remove the pivot pin to pivot the upper and place the cartridges in the magazine one by one.
