Pulled over for driving without a seatbelt ...
I once had a boss (in high school) that INSISTED that the longer you hold a suction cup to the window, the better it will hold (like as if it was glue), I literally had to stand there holding suction cups to the window for 2 - 3 minutes each to humor her.

Most technologically advanced handgun...
Was just reading some info about the Beretta PX4 storm and noticed they call it the "most advanced sub-compact sidearm of its kind", got me thinking, what would you guys say is the most high tech, engineered, technologically advanced pistol currently available?

Pulled over for driving without a seatbelt ...
So this happened to maybe 6 months ago but the post below got me thinking about it and thought you guys might enjoy the story. I was up in CT visiting family and left the house to go to the store. As always, I put my seat belt on before leaving the house. as I am driving down a nearby road I pass a police checkpoint and am waived to put over. Cop approaches my window and tells me he saw me putting my seat belt on while I was driving up to them (which I was not, I had been wearing it since I left the house). I politely tell him that he is wrong and that I have been wearing it the whole time, he tells me i'm lying, blah blah blah, finally he admits that the OTHER cop down the road saw me putting my seat belt on, not him. I request that the other cop come talk to me, he comes over. I tell him he is wrong, he tells me he saw me with his own eyes. I tell him I realize he thinks he saw me put it on but he saw incorrectly. This goes back in forth for several minutes. Finally I give in and say something like "fine, give me a ticket if your going to give me a ticket but just so you know for you own personal information, I WAS wearing my seatbelt, I always wear my seatbelt, and you are giving a guy a ticket who was following the law" MUCH to my suprise he says something to the effect of okay ill give you the benefit of the doubt this time, have a nice day... (side note: interestingly he didn't ever ask for my license or registration or anything).. I found this situation very interesting because never in all my years did I think you could argue with two cops for 5 minutes or more and actually convince them they were wrong!

I have a friend who owns a farm in PA, can I travel
Well im not referring to passing through PA, im talking about stopping and shooting (on private property), wasn't sure if this changed anything law wise.

I have a friend who owns a farm in PA, can I travel
to and shoot at his farm with my guns? handguns and long guns? only long guns? None of the above? I do NOT have a Florida CCW (I'm not asking if I can carry, I know I cannot, Im just throwing this in there so people don't assume I do).

How much of a difference do the "tech-sights" really make on
Yes I meant the Tech Sights Hiker is referring to (sorry, should have been more specific) they seem to be the ones everyone suggests for the 10/22

How much of a difference do the "tech-sights" really make on
a 10/22? They are ~$60 - 70 so trying to decide if they are worth it or just to go with a scope and learn how to shoot a scoped rifle?

Now.... how do I match the NJGF names to the pictures?? Also, I FWIW, I wasn't at the 100 range yesterday, just happened to drive by on the way to pistol and saw all of the ARs out

How strict is the "transport directly to and from the range"

WTF dude - if you were at CR yesterday why weren't you hanging out with us Maybe he's talking about YOU. Did you bring your ARs? Lol. I dont know what any of you guys look like- Arsenal SGL21
WTF dude - if you were at CR yesterday why weren't you hanging out with us I didn't know you guys were there! What range were you at and when? I was there 2 - 4 ish- How strict is the "transport directly to and from the range"
Technically you are protected by federal law passing through NY but I wouldn't want to be the test case.- Arsenal SGL21
There were 5 guys shooting ARs (which have the same "scaryness" problems that AKs do) at Cherry Ridge yesterday... think youll be OK.- How strict is the "transport directly to and from the range"
You.... you mean.... you travelled through NEW YORK WITH A HANDGUN- Anyone watch Top Shop last night?
Couldn't believe that guy Adams behavior, so pissed he didn't get kicked off- How strict is the "transport directly to and from the range"
Don't get me wrong, Im asking because I would love to be able to do this, it would buy me an extra 30 minutes at the range during the week, just didn't know the legality of it.- Is used brass worth anything?
I would be more than happy to give it to one of you guys if I ran into you at the range but if its between giving it to a random guy at the range vs. making a couple bucks I think I would rather keep the brass.- How strict is the "transport directly to and from the range"
You leave your guns inside your car during the day while you are at work before heading to the range? Yep.... Wouldn't that most definitely be considered an illegal stop?- How strict is the "transport directly to and from the range"
You leave your guns inside your car during the day while you are at work before heading to the range?- Has anyone ever had the car break down while transporting?
My car randomly died on the way to the range yesterday, but started back up with no problem. Made me wonder what happens if you break down or are in an accident? what do you do with your guns to remain legal?- How strict is the "transport directly to and from the range"
law for transporting handguns? I have never had to stop for any reason but I was running low and gas on the way back from the range yesterday and, although I made it without stopping, I wonder if pulling off to refill falls into the category of necessary stopage.- Is used brass worth anything?
Every time I am at the range shooting my .45 ACP without fail someone asks me if they can keep my brass. I know people like to reload and I do not (yet) so Ive had a policy of giving it away to whoever asks first but because this has happened every single time I shoot im starting to wonder if I should save it and sell it instead to offset the insane cost of 45, do people buy used brass? Is it worth anything? - Arsenal SGL21
