Wow! As you said "convenient"!

Beauty! I have an Off-Duty in .45 that is another STI winner.

Cynic that I am .... this is all 100% new session posturing by politicians.

Did I miss a post? Where i sthe reference to his union, being bitten and PTSD?

Hey Bones You following me around all the forums or am I following you?

Well, four of my associates and I have been researching for a couple of hours. Not a lot of effort, I grant you, but the results are disappointing. NJ employees are basically screwed by the Valentine ruling. They actually came out and said it - "However, the overriding philosophy of our Legislature is to limit the use of guns as much as possible". The courts on ruling on perceived philosophy of others. How wonderful! I'll keep digging but do not hold your breath. One interesting observation: It may be construed the appellant was on probation. If so, he would be a convicted felon and therefore unable to possess. Did this sway the court? It's impossible to tell, but may well be the case.

Thanks, Bones I'm digging through lots of case law to see what I can find. So far there is little to report. If I get lucky I will find a published case conflicting with this decision Agreed, Vlad. I'm not disputing what you or others were told. I am hoping to find an actual published case that would negate the NJSP and municipalities making up their own regulations.

The interpretation that "HIS place of business" infers ownership is unclear to me. Is there NJ case law supporting? I can't find it anywhere. Lots of reasoning (mostly good) and opinion, but cannot find case law.

1. Thanks for the JSE Surplus lead - addictive reading! 2. Just went through this build vs. buy decision. I was on the fence until I found an excellent deal on a slightly used rifle that fit my requirements exactly. I bought it, figured I will learn from it and the, eventually, do a build of my own. I know is is an easy build after the first time or seeing someone else do it. The uncertainty of doing it right the first time is daunting when building a firearm.

Yes, they do. Maybe I was unclear, but that was what I was trying to imply We were typing at the same time, j0n. I had to edit my post on the fly (-;

I'm just guessing here: the dispatcher may have been trying to prevent a deputy being shot or shooting the teenager. If the kid reported another person coming around the corner and the dispatcher knew the deputy was not yet on-scene, he/she may have said OK to shoot.

I rest my case.

Thanks for the inputs. I will sign up for a membership when I go up to Jim Flynn's to pick up my Armalite. I hope to see you there some day! Jack

Another vote for Militec-1. I clean with Hoppes#9 and lube with Militec-1. I may need to try Frog Lube next because the last major gun cleaning session almost got me banished due to the #9 fragrance. I like it, she is underwhelmed! BTW - I sent a bunch of Militec-1 to my nephew and his fire team in the sand box last year. They loved it and are stocking up on it for their return performance next month.

I missed the correct bay the first time around. Had to patch the wallboard and move over one bay. I also had to knock out a horizontal 2X4(whatever they are called) they had in each bay.

I have a new-to-me Armalite evil black gun on the way to me. Genius that I am, I realized afterwords my home handgun club does not have provisions for centerfire rifles. My very old Mini-14 and new-to-me AR need to get out and run. The closest I can find to me (Hunterdon County) seems to be Easton Fish & Game. That's pretty close to me and would work but thought I should seek the wisdom of the local experts before joining. Is there anything I need know about Easton F&G? Are there any others I should consider? Thanks guys.

Good going, C. Second prize was better - a leg lamp and shade

Thanks, folks. I didn't realize until now there are no native 10 or 15 round mags available. At least now I know where to go. Thanks again!

Thanks, All, for the input. I think that, for once, I got lucky and snagged a post-ban ArmaLite for a very good price. In fact, way below my targeted budget. Here's what I have coming this way: http://www.armalite.com/ItemForm.aspx?item=15A2B-2 I know it's not top end but seems to me to be a decent rifle that fit my parameters. These things are probably like 1911s and I'll have a stable of evil black guns growing here also! The only pre-delivery issue is trying to find NJ-Compliant magazines at a reasonable price. What do you locals prefer?

I have two similar cabinets, one upstairs and one down, for quick access to a shotty. My were made by Homak and were bought online. They work well for what they are - cabinets. My purpose in getting them was to keep small fingers away from my go-to guns, nothing more. As others have said, a crowbar (or Sawzall) would make fast work of them if someone seriously wanted in. The photos make them look deeper than they really are. That's logical since they fit in a space created by a 2X4 frame. I'm happy with mine for what they are.

Question 1: All of it Question 2: Yes Gee,that was easy

You, sir, have the same level of a sense of humor as did Attila the Hun. Do you not recognize embellishment when you read it? So far as the NYC authorities recognizing FOPA: Sure they will, perhaps, following the legal arguments presented during a court case. Meanwhile, the opportunity to bunk with several hundred of your closest friends at Riker's Island would be an unforgettable experience. Not recommended for children or other living animals. You state you have transported firearms many times through NYC. Well, bravo for you. On how many of those journeys did was your vehicle inspected or did you volunteer to the authorities you had firearms onboard? I dare say the answer was zero or we would have been reading about you in the news. So far as geography is concerned, see the first sentence of this reply. To the OP: my advice remains unchanged. Avoid NYC at all costs. Jeez!

Thanks, Jimmy and Papercut. Wouldn't the Bravo be illegal in NJ due to the bayonet lug? Adding the BCM to the short list if I can get around the lug. Checking out the uppers an AR15.com now

Somehow I managed to catch the AR bug recently. Seems I have this overwhelming urge to get a retro looking AR. I considered a build but I think I would rather buy a complete rifle the first time around. Maybe a build will follow later. I'd love to pick up an original Colt SP-1 but, since I live in NJ, that is a non-starter. Here is what my pea brain tells me I would like instead: 20" barrel Solid stock Carry handle, either fixed or removable Less than $1K out the door. Internet searching is leading me to either the Colt Match Target HBAR MT-6700 or the ArmaLite M15-A2. I remember both from the early/mid 1960s when Uncle Sam let me use his. Reading tells me the ArmaLite is now built in the Philippines (WTF!) which kind of surprised me. Your expert thoughts would be appreciated.

I hadn't thought of the ship to yourself option. Also an alternative. HOWEVER - and this is critical -- drive from MI to NJ without getting within a 500 mile radius of any of the boroughs of New York City! A bit of an exaggeration, but NYC does not take kindly to firearms transported through their territory. It's not worth fighting that battle. Are you back in NJ now? We could meet at P'burg Pistol Club some day.
