I think the biggest issue would be that you are placing your gun safe in the same room as tools that can be used to break into your safe! If you do this, it may not be a bad idea to get a coffee can labeled "vacation fund" and put some spare change and a few dollar bills in it. Then place that on top of or near your safe as a decoy. Bad guy breaks in and has a choice: Spend 20 minutes breaking into the gun safe and risk getting caught or grab the coffee fan full of what looks like bills and change for an easy score. In a case like that. You get to keep your guns. The thief gets $50 and change. Everybody is happy.

Outstanding job! It almost looks stock... or steampunk.

I had to do some research on this since I never gave a darn about the Kennedy Assassination and really don't care to start. It is not easy to hit something that is moving. But this reenactment video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XMV0Fmk2oe4 Shows that the vehicle was moving away. I think it's easier to compensate for elevation rather than windage on a moving target. Honestly, I think the shooter was just lucky.

This was explained to me when I first looked at building and then purchasing a free-standing gun range. Customers can come into your range and pay you to breath in all of the lead and fumes and crap that you want. But as soon as an employee sets foot on that range, they are covered by OSHA. Seriously, this is not a big deal.

I think the PD would say "No" regardless. Talk to the town clerk.

I'm looking at the Municipal ordanances and I don't see a no-discharge law. http://ecode360.com/search/OL0845?query=firearm But... tell your friend to be a good neighbor.

Yes. Only 1 evil feature.

Beretta does not make a 10mm. Therefor your caliber is invalid. But seriously, I've been shooting for 25 years or so. I've never fired a 10mm nor saw any reason to own one. I have, however, considered a 5.7mm. So I'm one to talk when it comes to desiring exotic calibers. Look, man. Our life on this planet is short... too short to only shoot the stuff that we think others want us to shoot. The 10mm in NJ has no practical purpose. You can't hunt with it here. You can't carry it, and you darn sure aren't Sonny Crockett. But if you want it, buy it and be happy. Life is too short.

No.

That guy is still around? I bought a Beretta from him a few years ago. His place looked like Whistler's basement from Blade. Hell of a guy. It's like walking into history.

Leave a man alone with tools and a good cigar and you will come up with the most amazing things. I wanted a new Menorah but couldn't find anything I liked. A few 3/8ths of an inch button hats, a drill, some glue and an old cigar box was all I needed. Best of all, Total cost was $5.00 Well, plus $200 for the cigars. Best of all, you can keep the candles in the box until you need them.

I think so. Considering the HP bullet is supposed to puff up its spending some if its energy in the expansion process as opposed to penetrating the vest. If I'm shooting at people with vests on... oh I hope the world never comes to that. You see a justified shooting once in a while on NJ.com . Nobody ever seems to be prosecuted for hollow point or ball ammunition either way. Like I said, I just like the word "defense" on the box.

I use the Hornady Critical Defense. I never intend to get in a shooting, but if I do, I sure as hell want something with the word "Defense" in the title.

Well, one option is to run as a Dem in the primary. That's what millsan1 did. One way of making our legislators listen is to force them to spend money in the primarys - they don't like that. Even if you don't win the primary, they had to spend time, money and shoe leather defeating you. All you need are 100 voter signatures.

I'd say I don't tend to go shopping black Friday because in Judaism, Hanukkah isn't that big of a holiday and when we do give presents to kids they tend to be of nominal value. You might get a nice present on the first night, but after that it's maybe a small toy, a book, socks and underwear and so on. Once you become a teenager, you may get one big Hanukkah present like a car or laptop or iPad, but it would be bought in September for Back to School and there is just the understanding that it's for Hanukkah. I will say that I love seeing all the stuff up for Christmas - the lights and decorations and everybody just seems nicer than normal. But like I said in a post a few months ago, I wish there were special parking spots and lines for Jews so we didn't have to deal with the crowds. This is kind of the way I felt the day before Hurricane Sandy when I just needed a few screws for a project at home and I had to stand in line with all of the idiots at Home Depot who were buying emergency supplies the day before the hurricane.

I know how you are feeling. I just did a change of address in Cherry Hill 46 days ago and I am still waiting. Funny thing is that if voter registration took this long there would be an outrage.

I think the Bermuda Army used it. I don't know if it ever left the country, but if they ever did peacekeeping or disaster relief it would have gone with them.

Well, what do you need more than 6 shots for anyway?

I shot my friend's new HK USP at the range tonight. I'm not quite sure to feel about this gun. It's bigger and wider than my Beretta 92FS. I couldn't figure out how to decock it... and my friend didn't know either until we actually read the manual and realized you push the safety lever down. It shot no differently than my Beretta 92. It was no more accurate than my Beretta. The rail is strange. I think you need an adapter for it if you want to put a flashlight or laser on the thing. The magazine release is a lever by the trigger guard instead of a button like G-d and John Moses Browning intended. Not a bad gun. But it didn't do anything for me. It went bang. It didn't jam. The trigger was fine and nothing to write home about. For the price my buddy paid for it, I could have gotten two PX4's. I'm not hating on the gun, but I have a hard time understanding what the gun is *for." It kind of seems like someone took a P226, made it polymer, added a manual safety and threw it out the door to see if it would stick. Anybody have other thoughts? It seems to me like you can do everything the USP does in the Glock 19 or PX4 Compact for one third the size and half the price.

I say 6, but there is a reason. 2 for HD. 3 for the range. 1 to keep in your range bag. "But Ryan," You say. "Why do you need one in your range bag if you have 3 to bring to the range?" Ah, young grasshopper. Because when you are on your way out the door and leave your magazines on the kitchen table as I did tonight, you will always have 1 magazine in your range bag so that you can still shoot even if you left your others at home.

IMHO many of the people who picked up Scary Black Guns post-Newtown are selling them now that the panic is over and they suddenly need $1,000 because their water heater broke. I don't know how many 'deals' you will spot. The last gun show I attended was the Oaks Gun show as a rep from NJ2AS. I saw a nice 80 year old falling block rifle, but not for $200.

Eh, What's funny is that I love my 15+1 round Beretta, but my Kel Tec with a capacity of 10 has been doing nightstand duty. So I understand about capacity, but the problem is that capacity will never be enough for our legislators. 15 then 10. Then 7 then 5 then 2 than 1 then none. I'd rather be able to choose what is right for me than have that choice forced upon me.

You could take an eye bolt and screw it into the wall. Then run a cable lock up through the upper receiver. Hang the rifle by a pair of "Y" shaped bike hooks.

That's pretty much it. I shoot at a range in South Philly and I've seen full-auto Uzis there and HK's with suppressors. I am considering moving across the river one day...

I don't think they make low recoil in 3". Quite frankly, after shooting 3" shells, I have no idea what they are made for at all - the recoil is too high to shoot a follow-up shot... maybe they are best in a Joe Biden special where you only have two barrels and have to make both count? But anyway, Fiocchi and Federal both make them.
