Nice! Congrats dumbass... j/k

Well, for once a fire did some good. The owner has been arrested on child porn charges after some fire fighters found kiddie porn in the house.... http://www.APP.com/article/20120118/NJNEWS/301180125 EAGLESWOOD — State Police say images of child pornography were found in a burning house on Dock Road Tuesday, and they have charged the owner with endangering the welfare of children. Gamal El-Zoghby, 75, faces one count of the endangerment charge. The images were found when firefighters cut into a ceiling to get at the fire Tuesday, said Trooper Christopher Kay, a State Police spokesman. Kay said troopers at the Tuckerton barracks got a call at 11:57 a.m. about smoke coming from the house, a well-known landmark at the east end of Dock Road in the West Creek section here. “The troopers found heavy smoke and fire coming from the roof,” Kay said. The Eagleswood Volunteer Fire Company arrived — soon to be joined by units from five other area companies — and entered the unoccupied home to fight the fire. El-Zoghby, a New York City architect and professor at the Pratt Institute, designed and built the house in the late 1990s using a laminate of plywood, transparent fiberglass and resin. Firefighters discovered it also was constructed with a thin layer of stainless steel, part of the home’s defense against hurricane-force winds. That made it hard to cut access holes to get fire suppressant foam into burning interior spaces. Kay said firefighters saw the pornographic images as they pulled down wallboard to get access above a ceiling. El-Zoghby arrived at the house mid-afternoon, and went to the Route 9 police barracks to be interviewed. He was arrested there, Kay said. State Police declined to provide a photograph of the suspect. Firefighters remained on the scene until midnight so they could make sure hot spots in the structure were fully extinguished. The cause of the fire is under investigation, Kay said.

Will be interesting to see how this plays out, importer, pricing and such..

Haha, my older lab (he's 13 now) used to go ape **** over the laser pointer. One time I had it in the back yard of our old house and I aimed it at the fence behind me, he ran THRU the wood fence to get to it, just didn't stop at all, looked like the Kool Aid man was just there.. it was great, until I had to fix the fence. Now we have have him and a 15 week old chocolate lab that is just awesome

Oh, saw ShootNJ booth, and GFH, walked past both times and they were talking with folks each time, so the crowd was decent for a Thursday.. having worked boat shows there for years, its a sad place when nobody is there :-)

checked the show out today with a buddy.. not bad, for 10 bucks i guess it was something to do for a few hours (including travel time). good mix of hunting/fishing and lots of guides and guide services.. Beef jerky guy on every corner, some decent "talent" both working and roaming the show floor. They had some Bow shooting available, fish pond, and you can take your picture with a WOLF,??? there was an animal area, with owls and hawks, a freakin jaguar and a kangaroo! all live animals if you buy your ticket online you can get a free magazine subscription. Had lunch at Harolds Deli, so, i'm pretty much good till early to mid March...

Haha, thanks Nick... I'll give it a few more passes and call it clean! I'm really surprised at this rifle, shoots really well and recoil is very very light, I was pleasantly surprised..

no, looks like they start the classes tomorrow..

Heading there today, will report on the show when i get back

So, i got in on the CMP 1903 batch they got back in Sept or so.. Mine is a Mark I, from 1919. Overall it's in decent shape for what it is. I cleaned the rifle, and had a chance to shoot it at CJRPC about 2 weeks ago. Once sighted in, we were hitting steel plates @ 100yds with ease.. The cmp tag states that she has a dark bore.. is this something that can be reversed? I've already cleaned it a ton and the rifling is more prevalent than it was originally.. I used Hoppes and a brass brush, tons of patches. Yesterday I used KROIL and some JB paste, along with a Stainless brush.. I let the kroil sit over night before I cleaned.. the patches looked like it's never been cleaned in it's almost 100 years.... I know I won't get a mirror finish in there, but am I wasting my time trying to get it nicer? should I jut be happy she shoots good and I have one and leave well enough alone? is there a better way? lastly, what the thoughts on using stainless brushes Vs brass? I know the brass if fool proof for the most part, do any of you use stainless in modern firearms?

Again, this is a hypothetical scenario. My previous "facts" were peppered in to keep the discussion going. As usual, we tend cover both ends of the spectrum when it comes to answers. IF I was in a situation as that, I'm not sure I could save or hide it for future use, most likely the band saw, no way would I go to a buy back or turn in, I'm not the tin foil hat type for the most part, but I don't feed the bears either...

I had my NRA # when I went, so I didn't pay attention if they had a sign up there, so my bad as it looks like they do offer it there.

Happy to help as well

No NRA sign up, if you look on the app to join i believe it tells you the fee schedule. you do not have to pay the 450 fee at one shot you can spread out, but the annual fee would need to be paid up front. You would most likely pay for 11 or 12 months, since it runs from Jan. Just bring a check, they will tell what to pay. You can join the NRA online and get your number right away, this way you can put it on your App.

Thanks guys, the buy back is a good suggestion. When he told me about it, I told him to get rid of it asap, and he said he would just take it to PD. I was like, uh, well, ok, your just gonna walk into the police station with a gun in a paper bag or something and be like, Hey officer, i have this here gun with no serial numbers, would you just take it from me and i'll be on my way?

The gun in this story would appear to be from the 80's time frame, and you can plainly see where the numbers were. I don't know the specifics on how they were "willed" to him, I believe his father told him were the collection was in the house. Parents were divorced, he was the primary care giver and had power of attorney over his father

Ok, so lets assume this is a hypothetical situation... A friend (no, not me, really!) has inherited a few pistols from his father who passed away. He is a NJ resident who, has an FID card. Amongst this small collection is a pistol that has no serial numbers, however this pistol HAD a serial number at one time, but now, it does not, rendering it illegal to posses (correct so far?) So, obviously he should not keep said pistol, and now wants to get rid of it. What would the best way to handle this? call the local PD, explain to them the situation and ask them to come and retrieve it? What would you do?

And they typically are more than a step a head unfortunately. I just wish they wouldn't use the word "playing" in a gun article. I suppose its safe to assume some committed a felony here by leaving a loaded gun within reach of a minor? Will someone be held accountable?

Anyone have any additional info on this? KEYPORT — A 10-year-old boy was shot after playing with a gun and was being rushed to the hospital Monday night, police said. The child suffered a gunshot to his leg, police said. The incident was reported minutes before 8 p.m. at a home on Broad Street, according to Police Chief George Casaletto. Casaletto said the child was being taken by ambulance to the trauma center at Jersey Shore University Medical Center in Neptune. Police were at the scene and collecting information about how the shooting happened. http://www.app.com/article/20120109/NJNEWS/301090091/Keyport-child-shot-after-playing-gun?odyssey=tab|topnews|text|Frontpage

I bought a few cases of the pink shells when Cabelas had them on sale cheap, (had a gift card) probably shot 200 of them thru a Winchester speed pump, Stoeger Semi, and my Browning Centori, never had one issue either.. I broke mine out at a work event and made some of my big burly mechanics shoot clay with them, it was funny.. Plus, it was for the boobies..

My nephew received one of these for Christmas It's a H&K MP7A. Now, I don't have much MP7 experience, but this gun was REAListic. proper weight, rails, red dot, etc.. looked pretty legit and nice.. well, looked nice until I slapped it outta his hand after the 2nd time I told him not to muzzle sweep anyone with it.. After he stopped crying about is new "toy" getting scratched, i asked him if he would cry the same if he shot someone, or got shot because of this. I then took the time to teach him why its not ok to muzzle sweep or point the barrel at his face when he was filling the bottom of the mag with propane... same crap tho, he's only 12 and has been playing for 3 years at least... :wild: oh, and I think the REAL gun manufacturers should not license their name on any FAKE gun.. it's just bad.

Same here..

Another +1 for the costco safe. the free delivery is nice as well. I put mine in the basement using a handcart (a appliance one with straps) and 2 other people. Had to go up stairs into the house, and down into the basement, no problems.

Most women are crazy as is, but a mother protecting her baby? that guy didn't stand a chance! good for her! sucks about the recent issues she's had tho.. Here's another home invasion, this time it was a 14yr old boy protecting his sister.. http://www.cnn.com/video/?hpt=hp_t3#/video/crime/2012/01/03/dnt-teen-calls-911.wral
