This is an interesting read. And its all true.... http://www.drugwarrant.com/articles/why-is-marijuana-illegal/

Guilty untill proven innocent.

Anything over 1 round is considered to be high capicity to a liberal. I love how in most cases they use the term "semi-automatic" as if it were the same as "automatic". They usually seem to leave the difference between the two out so as to decieve people who don't know any better that there is no difference. You think the average housewife is going to look up the difference between the two and decide for herself? No....they'll just use the two terms as if they were interchangeable and hope no one but the crazy right wingers who believe in the Constitution (those crazyyyy crazyyyy people) will know the difference. Automatic just SOUNDS scary and has the same effect that the image of an AK47 has on people. It just scares them for no reason other than the media tells them they should be scared of it. I guarantee that 90% of the people who support gun restrictions don't actually know SHIT about firearms. They're just afraid of what they don't understand. Is an M1 or a Garand (which would cost close to a thousand USD or more....) a logical choice for someone looking to commit a crime? No. They could "rent" a gat off the street for a couple hundred bucks, do their thing with it, and then return it to the same person they bought it from to dispose of it. Not to mention a heavy, full length rifle isnt the easiest to conceal or use correctly. It just boggles my mind what some of these people are thinking....

Its kind of fucked up. Do they have the right to build there? Yes. SHOULD they build there? NO! I understand that they were'nt the people who committed 9/11 and had nothing to do with it, however its a sensitivity thing. Just like it was fucked up for the NRA to hold a rallies in Columbine and Virginia Tech IMMEDIATELY following the massacres there. Do they have the right to? Of course. But should they have? Probably not.

The Way of the Gun http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00005 ... B00005QJHP A somewhat realistic action movie. Apparently it was directed by a former navy seal and he actually trained the actors how to clear a room the right way, muzzle awareness, one-handed reloads, suppressive fire....etc.

Sorry. Ide much rather play airsoft. I played lasertag outside when I was 8. This honestly doesnt look that different at all.

No thanks.

No it was the Gloucester City PD in Camden County. Same lady that asked me why I wanted a gun in the first place when I applied for my FID. Didnt get a name, but next time I am in (probably in 3 monthes without a phone call) I'll be sure to.

Last week I did the paperwork for 3 more pistol permits. When I handed the forms in with the money order, that lady beind the counter (who was a pain in the ass to deal with last time) tried to tell me that I "could only get one per month", conveniently leaving out the one GUN a month part. I questioned her first whether she meant one GUN a month or one PERMIT a month and she said permit. I proceeded to tell her that its "one gun per month" not "one permit a month". She seemed surprised that I didnt hesitate or have a problem with telling her the law. She also tried to have me fill out 3 additional forms other than STS-33 and SP-66. I also politely refused to fill these out and reminded her of the law regarding permit forms. Why do they feel that they can not only break the law by taking longer than 30 days to process this paperwork, but make you feel like a criminal for wanting to excercise your GOD GIVEN right as an American, as well as give you as hard of a time as they can? Im not a criminal. I pay my taxes. Stop giving ME a hard time.

Agreed. I personally used to think that stopping power was the most important thing, however its been shown that when a person is under real life or death stress, accuracy goes out the window along with fine motor skills (such as trigger control, clearing a malfunction, reloading....etc). Unfortunately, no matter how well you train or can shoot at the range, if you find yourself in a life or death situation you will not shoot as well as you could have otherwise. Capacity is IMHO just as, or MORE important than stopping power. (within reason. Dont carry a 20rd .22) Ide rather have 15 (or more) 9's or .40's than 7-8 .45's if I am forced to defend myself with a handgun. And the 1911 in .45 ACP is my favorite handgun so its not about what platform you shoot. 8-)

Thats my biggest concern with the lasermax thing. Just doesnt seem right that you take out a perfectly good factory part and replace it with something that may be inferior and not machined to the exact factory specifications. (seems like it could cause some jamming or possibly accuracy issues) Thats why I was asking around to see if anyone has had an actual problem with theirs. Supposedly they work great and hold up, even in really tough conditions such as Afghanistan and other heavy-duty applications, however this is coming from their "Customer Testimonials" on their website, so I dont know how true this really is. It seems that most LEO's really like them (or any laser I guess) because it apparently has a huge intimidation factor and causes a lot of would be DEAD criminals to comply and put down the weapon, or stop resisting...etc. Oh well. I guess I'll just wait to have the pistol in hand and see if maybe a range around this area has a demo of each that I could try out. I know CT makes great stuff and its proven for the most part, but the guide rod thing just really caught my attention as an innovative idea.

Thanks for the replies. I am still considering the Crimson Trace stuff. Hell I obviously need to get the firearm first and then worry about this shit later but I was just curious if anyone uses these. I was drawn to the Lasermax because its inline with the barrel and as far as I can tell, doesnt necessarily need to be adjusted for windage and elevation quite as much as the Crimson Trace grips because its so close to the bore axis. This is really what I am looking for because I dont want to have to guess whether or not my point of impact is going to be to the right or left depending on my range to target. Give or take a half inch up or down I can live with. Its just one less thing to have to think about before making a decision on whether or not to take the shot. I'll probably be putting a set of Hogue grips on my 226 anyway, so I dont know if the Crimson Trace is compatible. I would guess no as it seems to me basically a set of grips with a laser and internal pressure switch. Also another reason I was drawn to it is because its totally internal, which means I can still use my Serpa or other Kydex type holsters and keep it low profile. I plan on getting a light to mount on the rail for when its at home anyway ( or if anyone is ever allowed to carry in NJ.... ), but for trips to the range, I dont feel its necessary.

Hey everyone. New member here. Waiting on my pistol permits to come in and then first on the list is a new Sig 226 in 9mm. Will be my first purchase, however I am not new to shooting. Ive been around handguns most of my life and am fairly proficient, especially with a 226. (Was my uncle's duty / carry pistol) Im looking to the use the 226 for paper practice and for HD and have come accross the lasermax internal guiderod lasers. I know.... nothing substitutes for range time and training (I plan to do plenty of shooting at the range), but does anyone have one of these or use them routinely? I figure it would be a good training tool to diagnose any accuracy problems I may run accross and would also be good for a low-light shooting situation in addition to a good flashlight. Thoughts? Opinions? http://www.lasermax.com/product.php?id=10
