I disagree on the limp wrist idea. Unless the shooter is riding the slide stop, or holding the pistol daintily between the tips of his fingers, a modern service pistol should lock back on the last round when using decent ammo, period. It is possible a weaker than normal grip is exposing a problem, but something is wrong with the gun. It needs to go to Sig. One other thought, Sig has been known to be using crapola Checkmate magazines lately so trying some quality MecGars might not be a bad idea. A weak magazine spring or bad follower can cause failure to lock back.. You did not mention if the malfunction happens always with the same magazine or not. But frankly for the amount you paid for this thing Sig should figure this out for you.

Not quite, and this is the gotcha in the Aitken hollowpoint conviction. There is an exemption for transporting a firearm from one residence to another. But when you read the hollowpoint transport rules, there is NO exemption for transporting hollowpoints between residences. Another example of the devil really being in the details in NJ gun law.

Yeah, it was also popular with criminals back in the 60's - 70's. Fortunately the ban has eliminated the criminal use of firearms and we are all safe now.

It is VERY common for people to maintain contact with the slide stop on Sig pistols, causing the slide to fail to lock back. Make very certain your thumb is clear of the lever. As for failure to eject, that's certainly something to have Sig fix. Blazer is perfectly good quality factory ammo and you should expect any pistol to function perfectly with it.

Fiber optic will rule outdoors or in any conditions where there is plenty of ambient light. They provide no help beyond a plain iron sight in low light so may not be the best choice for a defensive gun. The fiber rod can also get damaged although you would still have a perfectly functional iron sight and the rod is cheap and easy to replace. My Dawson fiber front sight has gone through 6k rounds and going strong on my M&P despite some rough treatment in MDTS pistol classes.

I would wait to cash it in for food stamps at the next gun buyback. And then use the food stamps for beer.

Big Fuggin Deal. If anything it's a symbolic gesture.

You guys apparently cannot appreciate fine and sophisticated cinema. It's Jersey Shore! With sharks!

Oh hell yes. DVR is set. I make no apologies.

I seriously disliked Rothman but I am not sure Pascrell is better. I suppose he can't be worse.

Get yourself any of the trail maps from New York-New Jersey Trail Conference, available at Amazon as well as most outdoor stores: http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=ntt_athr_dp_sr_1?_encoding=UTF8&field-author=New%20York-New%20Jersey%20Trail%20Conference&search-alias=books&sort=relevancerank We've been exploring those in Bear Mountain for years and haven't run out of choices yet.

You don't have to avoid NY. Since your journey begins and ends in NJ and VT, you are protected by FOPA in any other state you pass through as long as you follow the FOPA transportation requirements.

I've been a zombie movie fan all my life, beginning with the first night as a little kid being unable to sleep after watching Night of the Living Dead. But right now, it's just too goddamned much. Zombie ammo, zombie targets, green colored "zombie edition" Sig pistols. Enough already, I'm freaking sick of it. Hopefully it won't ruin the next season of Walking Dead for me.

That's quite a piece of history (ha, pun intended). It looks in good condition, do you plan to shoot it or preserve it?

Sadly there is no legal way for a civilian non resident to bring a handgun to NJ.

Jules is correct to a certain degree. You should not be surprised that the PD violated your rights for refusing to comply with their illegal requirement. Recommending to just go along to get along? That's a question for the OP, and depends on how inclined he is to fight for what is right in this case. We all choose our battles. If nobody stands up then this shit will continue. I've said this before and I'll say it again. The best and most effective team we have on our side is the NJ2AS. Please join and support them.

Wow, I did not hear this. Can you point me to some type of citation? Godamit New Jersey. Not that it really matters to me, since I cannot carry in NJ.

I don't understand this thread at all. A bias ply tire is better than an old fashioned wooded wagon wheel, but why would you want to use it when you have modern radials available? So who cares if a backwards wadcutter beats a plain FMJ it will still never come close to the effectiveness of a modern hollowpoint. Even if you are one of the FEW people who can legally carry and are prohibited from HP's a modern alternative like Federal EFMJ will still surpass what Jim Cirillo had to choose from 40 years ago.

Much better than waiting for the officer to get close and then shout "I have a gun!!!!!"

Unless having cash is illegal, the answer is "none." When did it become a citizen's burden to always prove he is innocent at all times?

So now that you're familiar with those cases, can you begin to appreciate why there is little comfort in statements like "I can assure you no cop in NJ is wasting their time arresting a lawful gun owner on any of your concerns." I also call your attention to fellow officer "ar15f117" over here with an entirely mixed up notion of what is legal or illegal in the state and proclaims "I guarantee you that a competent Police Officer will arrest and charge the individual with unlawful possession of a firearm." for what is clearly a perfectly legal transport activity. I do not believe this is the only police officer with a policy to falsely arrest first and let the judge sort it out later.

This has zero chance of being passed in America.

Tell that to Brian Aitken and Gregg Revell. In New Jersey gun owners are guilty unless they can prove themselves innocent.

The majority of people in New Jersey still believe that firearms are for criminals and psychos and that the 2A was meant for the National Guard and is an obsolete relic. Getting a 2nd Amendment passed in NJ today would be like going back in time to 1962 Alabama and proposing an amendment to their state constitution giving blacks equal rights. In both these cases, enforcement of civil rights through the Federal courts is the only answer.

It may not be required by law but it seems a prudent step to carry your paperwork with you just in case. In fact I don't stop there, I make every effort at all times to make sure the police know I am innocent of any crimes. I always carry with me a copy of my credit report, tax returns and my public school transcripts. A notarized list of character references with mailing address, email and phone numbers doesn't hurt to have either. I bring a list of all my social networking and account passwords and offer them to any police officer who stops me, and in fact I left a set of my house keys with my local detectives so they can stop by any time they want to check out my home. This reminds me, it's time for my monthly polygraph appointment at the detective bureau. It may not be necessary but I want them to know I am, without question, still not guilty today. Remember if you are not guilty you should have nothing to fear.
