Out of all the millons concealed carriers in the country, if you search the news you are bound to find cases like this. On that day you can also find cases where people killed themselves falling off a ladder, skiing, etc. It's a good way to remind ourselves to be careful but using one bonehead move to drive a change in policy is not productive.

All, thanks for the commentary. Unfortunately it confirms what I originally thought. Due to the deliberate ambiguity in the law, there is no way to know if this is legal. I think probably it's OK but there is too much risk that if I encounter a LEO he can decide to simply bust me and let the court work it out. About the only thing I can do here is to continue supporting the NJ2AS and hope they continue to make progress. I think the very fact that nobody can tell what is or is not legal indicates a serious problem. I also am confident it is no accident, it's a deliberate strategy to intimidate people from engaging in legal activities that cannot be banned outright. Godamit again New Jersey, godamit.

Suppose a NJ resident wants to attend a handgun class or match in NJ, but it is far enough from home that he wants to stay overnight in a hotel the night before. Is it legal for him to have the handgun in the hotel room?

Do not shoot any of those short rounds. The bullets seem to be set back into the case which can cause very high pressure. Worst case scenario is a kaboom. I bet if you contact Federal they will make it right with you.

In addition to thanking NJ2AS, I also want to thank you Zombie for standing up for the right thing, and for doing it in a constructive positive way that helps us all.

No.

Your self defense weapon should be the best performing gun you can afford for the intended purpose. Buying a cheap gun in case it is taken by the police is false economy to the extreme.

Sorry young man, we are running out of Constitutional Rights today. Come back later and maybe we will have some back in stock.

Can you imagine a state claiming to be too rural to allow interracial marriage, or too Christian to allow Islam.

I was looking for an opportunity to send MORE of my hard earned money to people who hate me and support groups that want me dead. This looks like a terrific option, and for a piece of crap to boot.

A failure every 2nd or 3rd round is not the ammo or lubrication. Call up Para customer service and have them fix the gun under warranty. Don't let them give you any bs about wasting money running 500 "breakin" rounds either.

Having grown up in NYC, I want to be careful not to overreact and move myself someplace too rural or off the grid. Denver or Boulder look like reasonably sized cities with a decent quality of life. Not sure about Wyoming, but that's why we plan to put a lot of effort exploring and visiting before making a final decision.

I'm all ears mipafox. We're just starting our thought process Washington and Oregon are may issue states with no AWB ban nonsense. Sems like outside Portland and Seattle it's quite decent. What's the issue? Where else should we be thinking?

Rena and I have ben discussion this seriously. Whereever it turns out to be it has to be a state that: - Is fiscally sound with reasonable cost of living - Respects Gun rights - Teaches evolution not creationism in the public schools - Is not crazy hot or crazy cold So far we're thinking Pacific Northwest, Colorado, and a few other options.

I shot one of these a few years ago. It can be a cool and interesting gun but i think the size really makes it impractical for defensive purposes. Just get a pistol caliber carbine if you feel the need for such a long barrel.

Sadly this bill has no chance whatsoever of passing. The majority of our fellow NJ citiziens have no understanding of firearms beyond the gun nut propaganda from movies and the Brady Bunch. To them it's a foregone conclusion that legal CCW would result in shootouts over parking spaces, blood in the streets and anarchy.

Stop trying to buy firearms and ammunition at a sporting goods store. And stop getting treated like crap, go back again and complain about getting treated like crap. We have plenty of professional, courteous and helpful dealers right here on this forum. And there are plenty of online ammunition sources that provide price, selection and service that is superior to the dicks at Dicks.

That's an excellent point. If I were looking at a Glock i would strongly consider it. However I think such a modification would disqualify you from USPSA Production or IDPA SSP if that's the OP's intent.

I agree, most of the photos in the article happen constantly at public ranges like the Bullet Hole. I go to Tenafly, a private range with very safety conscious people but still see this stuff on occasion.

My preference is to avoid modified 17 round magazines. In order to meet the legal requirement of permanent modification, you lose the ability to disassemble and clean the magazine which makes it a no-go for me. And I am not willing to accept a 10 round magazine for a full sized pistol designed for 17. I would take a 15 round G19 over a 10 round G17 any time. The M&P 9mm is designed for 17 but S&W offer factory 15 rounders which is what I use.

If your goal is to make it as difficult as possible for people to legally obtain a firearm, then any restriction is a good restriction. If the Bradys could ban all guns with a serial number ending with "3" they would do it.

USCCA posted a darned helpful reminder to all of us on gun safety mistakes many of us make more often than we realize. A reminder of the fundamentals is needed especially for people who are shooting a while and might be getting sloppy without realizing it. https://www.usconcealedcarry.com/ccm-columns/features/tune-up-your-gun-handling/ I've seen all of these on occasion at my local range. Perhaps one of the most common is "The Lone Ranger".

I sent my P229 to GGI for their RRCP last year. Fantastic result and fantastic service by real professionals.

What are they talking about? Crimes are solved using spent shell casings EVERY WEEK on television shows like CSI and NCIS. What more proof do you need?
