Ive been thinking about getting one for the rail but they are so expensive, not sure if its worth it

This may be a stupid question, but isn't it illegal to buy a gun in a state other than the one you reside in?

Kind of a proverbial zombie scenario. Basically a question and answer of a guy who was there during the riots and hunkered down on the roof with a shotgun.... Responses from the poster are backfilled with blue...

Guys does anyone have any recommendations for other movies like this one (apocalyptic / zombie / etc.)? I had never heard of this but it looks good (love these type of movies), will definitely be getting it on netflix... any others I should look into?

Follow up question: When you get a knock at the door and you know you are not expecting anyone (middle of the night / odd hours / no friends in town / dont know the neigbors / whatever situation) do you grab a gun to bring to the door with you just in case?

Trust me I made all of these points to him, hes a lost cause he literally said to me "if things get so bad that there is no government control ill just give up" I couldn't even believe my ears when I heard that. unbelievable.

I have tried and tried he wont even consider going yet... but im working on it

It's really hard to change someone when this sport is so damn expensive! They may have changed their minds, but for them to go threw the firearms process in this state and then spending the dough for a gun is tuff. But, you've done all you can do, and i commend you. Im sure they will never buy a gun, but 99% of my friends dont understand why anyone would ever own a gun so I try and try to make them understand the best I can.. The one true anti gunner is one of these guys who truly believes the mentality of "why would I ever need to own a gun when the government is here to protect me?" he is going to take a lotttt of work but I try to chip away at him...

aw you guys are just so cute together! (am I too new to break your balls???!?)

So, I should look for a VW with a crank start. And please explain how an EMP would effect the water pump... You are correct, most water pumps are run off of the crank, I think the only problem would be with the starter

and it seems like I was able to convince the undecided and make the anti think about a few things... always feels good. I hate these arguments but I cant resist getting fired up whenever the subject comes up.

Heck that means nothing. My wife was raised with guns. Her father(rip) was a huge hunter when in season or not. Good O"L country boy. She thinks guns are disgusting. Yes I owned several when we dated. She can even field dress a dear! LOL. I work construction so I figured allot of people would share the passion. Well maybe it is four out of 100. The rest look at us like we are nuts. I get the what do you need a gun for. My reply is I need it no more then I need a bowling ball. And i enjoy it for the same reason. I'm in construction too but I'm on the project management side, it seems like a much higher percentage of the field guys are into guns then the office side so I'm kind of on my own over here.

^^ This is exactly why I plan to have a pretty solid collection by the time I get married, that way its too late for her to have a problem with it. Luckily the girlfriend of two years doesn't have a problem with it anyway as of yet though...

ZOMBIES?

This is more of a CT law question but maybe someone has an idea - If I wanted to keep a handgun in CT, could I leave it at a relatives house (relative has no criminal record or anything that wouldn't otherwise allow him to own a handgun) but has no CT licenses or permits? Or would this be illegal as he would be in possession of a firearm that didn't technically belong to him? Any ideas?

gun person? Just found out one of my bosses has two wilson combat 1911s

Cant speak for any of the above, but as far as HK goes, I love my USP 45

I don't see the problem, obviously if you own guns you are a terrorist...

I have the NRA basic pistol certification (10 hour) I wonder if that is sufficient

Well what I was referring to was I was under the impression that the FL CCW allowed you to carry in PA, is that incorrect?

I've heard a few stories of people obtaining Florida non-resident CCWs because they are easy to get and let you carry in a huge number of states (through reciprocity)... has anyone done this? My CT permit allows me to carry in quite a few but I wouldn't mind adding a few more to the list (including PA)

Disclaimer: This may have been discussed in this thread already but I dont have time to read all 24 pages. At what point during any sort of disaster situations do you decide to disregard law and leave your house with your loaded gun? I feel like there could be many possible disasters that could occur that could get any individual caught in the mess and a situation arises where they feel they need to lease the safety of their home for whatever reason, but feel that due to said disaster it is too dangerous to leave without a weapon only to find out that things arent as bad as they thought and they end up getting arrested for illegally carrying a concealed weapon... So the question is, in a disaster scenario, what would have to happen for you to feel it was ok and necessary to leave your house with a loaded weapon... again I feel this gray area is huge... thoughts?

I have a pair of mechanix I use to work on my car (I wont work on the car without em any more) they are amazing. havn't tried shooting with them yet but I bet they would be great.

Being fairly new to NJ, how often do these types of things come up and get shot down? Coming from someone new it seem to me like there is a big push for revised carry laws all of a sudden (1384 and 69) but for all I know this happens every year and they get shot down... whats the word here, is this pretty rare or do these types of bills come up frequently?

Understood. These are the things that make me miss living in CT, where I could carry, buy as many guns a month as I wanted, own a 30 round magazine, had a good state constitution as well as castle doctrine and stand your ground laws, and still be within an hour commute of NYC! Those days are over though, guess its time to adapt.
