Spend some time reading the stickies by Gary Roberts over here: http://pistol-forum.com/forumdisplay.php?19-Ammunition In particular, his list of recommended defense / duty handgun, 5.56 and shotgun loads, the folly of frangible ammo, and the sticky describing why overpenetration is the least of your concerns even in an apartment. There is a lot of bull crap on the internet. Gary Roberts is one of the few reliable sources of information on ammunition.

If gun rights are important to you, then no place in NJ is acceptable. Don't waste time, money and effort moving from one town to another within this same shitstain of a state. Get the fuck out of this state and never look back.

I would just get a G19 with factory 15 round magazines. The G17 does not have any advantage that makes it worth screwing around with modified magazines and certainly not worth going all the way down to 10.

Let's just hope Anthony never, ever demonstrates the "yoga pants" draw.

Anthony, Just a heads up that one of the photos on the GFH website depicts a fairly unsafe action of holding a holster with the left hand while drawing a pistol with the right. The woman is about to sweep her own hand with the muzzle. Ironically this is the picture advertising the "Holster Draw" course. I understand it's probably just some stock photo you used and not necessarily what you would teach but I would hate it if somebody were to see that on your site and think that this is good practice.

I agree a "tactical" pen is probably nice but can attract unhelpful scrutiny by law enforcement. Any plain 'ole metal pen should be 99% as effective without appearing like you're carrying a weapon.

Do the shelves in the ports fold to allow drawing from a holster? If so, will it be permitted?

Wow, all this hullabaloo over pricing when nobody has even seen the facility yet. I am eager to check it out. If it is really nice I don't mind paying for quality.

This plan is perfect and cannot possibly fail. I only wonder why nobody thought of it earlier.

It's possible that a terrorist can kill you and steal your identity, move into your house, take your job, and get plastic surgery to make his face look just like yours. Yet he still cannot alter his fingerprints to match yours. So, thanks to NJ's well developed gun laws, the fingerprint check will catch that terrorist before he can buy a gun and kill children. It may not be likely but it's possible. And if it saves just one child's life wouldn't it be worth it? Or are you in favor of terrorists killing children? Well, are you?

bs. It has nothing to do with feeling foolish or bothering the police. I don't call the police on someone unless they are doing something wrong. Simply having a gun is not automatically wrong. The OP didn't describe one single thing that suggests criminal activity. I know exactly where I am. In NJ it's illegal to stop for coffee with a gun in the trunk on the way to the range. Would you call 911 on someone doing that? It's entirely possible this guy is innocently traveling from VA, had car trouble, and is now unintentionally violating NJ's ridiculous and unconstitutional firearm law. Calling the cops in a situation like that can ruin someone's life. I didn't read one single thing in the OP's description to suggest anything more that would warrant turning him into another Brian Aitken.

So we've all spent so much time in NJ we've become indoctrinated to the idea anyone carrying a gun must be a criminal? If I saw signs of criminal activity I would call 911 but in my mind, person + gun does not automatically mean criminal.

I think doing the transaction at a range is the most obvious way to remain within the transport rules. Doing it at a police station might be the worst possible idea.

Remember that the single purpose of all these regulations is to create as much burden, obstacles and harassment of legal gun ownership as possible so people just give up. Expect the renewal process to be as painful as possible by design.

It's a rental. Who knows how many rounds have been put through it without maintenance, spring changes, cleaning or lubrication. Renting a gun is a great way to see if you like it before purchase but it should not be used as an indication of reliability.

A little late, but I am another happy ESS Ice user. Not as optically perfect as Rudy Project but the cost is very modest which makes them a great value. Opticsplanet.com often has it for less than ESS direct. Nick, just call ESS and ask about the Rx. It might just be a limitation of the website rather than the inserts themselves.

Bzzzzzt, there's your problem right there.

Thanks for a smooth transaction

Thanks for a smooth transaction.

Thanks for an easy transaction.

Thanks for the easy transaction.

Yeah, thought it was too good to be true. The problem with UPS is the cost is too high due to the weight. The flat rate deal would have been great except for the part about it being illegal.

Is there any reason not to ship ammo using USPS Priority Mail Flat Rate box? I have some ammo to sell and avoided shipping due to the cost, until I realized I can get a bunch into a medium flat rate box for just $11. "If it fits, it ships," right? Or am I missing something?

I will keep saying this over and over. The New Jersey 2nd Ammendment Society is the best, most effective force for our rights we've ever had in this state. I am proud to be a supporter and grateful for all your work.

I was so distressed after the CT incident that I turned all my guns to the gun buyback in Camden last weekend. Sorry officer, nothing to confiscate.
