"Need stricter gun laws" + "combined with lax federal gun laws that allow illegal weapons to flow into New Jersey"... DOES NOT COMPUTE... Its already illegal! how is making it more illegal going to help!

Ha guess I forgot that part - Woodbridge

handguns? I'm so used to the locked case in the locked trunk deal with the pistol that I've never looked into rifle transport, and now that I have one trying to figure out the appropriate method.

Looking to order something from midway or brownells probably

So if a case like this is brought up after the McDonald case is ruled on (assuming it is in our favor) could this have gone the other way? Something like that could finally open the floodgates.

BTW, I wasn't to sure about buying from Dick's as I assumed they would have no idea what they were talking about but I was pleasantly surprised. Scott @ the gun counter was very knowledgeable and helpful as was the manager. Walk of shame was entertaining.

Its ok to eat alot as long as what you are eating is healthy! Dont down an entire box of girl scout cookies, for example. Get rid of any and all junk food in the house, that will cause you to not overeat because you wont be "loving" what you're eating as much.

No good deed goes unpunished

Eat right and exercise, more calories out than in. Sounds simply but its the truth! Personally, I dont keep junk food in the house and try to eat chicken / turkey / vegetables for lunch and dinner (no sauces or anything), whole grain cereal and fruit salad for breakfast. I try to stay away from red meat and eggs because I have high cholesterol (genetics, i'm in good shape, 6' and 180 pounds but my cholesterol is 207! get checked!). I try to get to the gym at least 3 times a week during which I do about 45 minutes of lifting and 10 - 15 minutes of biking or running. It doesn't have to be as structures as mine, all you need to do is do some research, eat well and exercise when you can, try to stay away from processed foods and you should be good to go! (Disclaimed: I cheated and ate Wendys last night while waiting for my NICs check at Dicks!)

I'm guessing I should learn how to shoot well with the iron sites before I try to scope it or anything?

Well you guys were all right, but I did finally end up with a 10/22! Wait was long and phone lines were down so I had to wait for the NICS via fax (ended up going to Wendys in the mall). Took about 3 hours round trip. Ended up doing the walk of shame with another guy who was buying a rem 870 so we went down together with the same manager, not too bad

missing? Getting a 10/22 from Dick's, Do I need to bring anything besides by FID and license? anything I should know? I believe NICS is open till 8 so I think im ok there

How are you going to get to Argentina with zombie hoards everywhere?

I see now why they nicknamed you "Lack of Detail Matt" I dont have much more details than that, girl (prob mid 20s) lying in the middle of the road, 3 people blocking traffic and 4-5 people kneeling around her, sirens in the distance, green minivan parked diagonally next to her (assuming this is the car that hit her), dont know if she was ok or not but she was not moving, although they did have her head on a backpack which for some reason makes me think she was conscious?

would it be?

an umbrella in the pouring rain until I walked passed someone lying in the middle of the street after being run over by a car... makes you realize how not important getting a little wet is, hope you all have a safe day.

Also, the reason I called i silver and not stainless was because I thought I had read somewhere that it was just painted "silver" is this just referring to the receiver?

Thought this might be the answer... Im planning on replacing the barrel and stock anyway so as far as im concerned those parts dont matter - is there any difference in the receiver, trigger group, etc.?

black one?

Anyone know if Dicks in Paramus has firearms yet?

I grew up listening to my great uncle telling stories about using his 1911 during WWII and have always wanted one (unfortunately he sold his a few decades ago) but I feel like spending the money for the novelty of owning one is probably not worth it.. can you even fire those things anymore? (I dont know the first thing about antique arms)... anyone own one?

Also, a handgun and long gun are treated differently. As long as your firearm is unloaded and in a case, you are within the law. :angry-extinguishflame: Just in case sorry, should have been clearer--i live in the NJ suburbs of NYC, and only work in NYC. i have no particular plans to carry across state lines--the gun would go from my apartment (in NJ) to a range (in NJ) and back. anyway, is the consensus that if i were walking or on a bicycle, i'd be legal if i were carrying a an unloaded pistol, locked in a case, by hand or in a backpack or something? What town are you in?

First thing I did was go to kinkos and laminate it. Save yourself a headache later

No unless they run the serial # and trace it back from start to finish. This is where I get confused about registration.. why is there even a serial number on file anywhere if its not required to register?
