Please, no flash!

If anyone got killed or hurt in that shooting, I hope they blame it on the guy who robbed the place. That shooting never would have happened in the first place if the guy didn't rob the place.

+1 I have no problem taking that 2 hour drive to do business with him. I've done it before, and I'll be doing it again!

As far as equipment is concerned, what's needed? Im assuming an OWB holster, mags, ammo? And how many mags and rounds and what type of loads are accepted, what type of gun, minimum caliber and barrel length? I should probably read the thread, huh? LOL

California's list looks much worse. http://ag.ca.gov/firearms/awguide/awguide.php

I just asked 3 of them. One has a p226, one a p228, and one a p229, all issued. They are from different stations though (and different classes), so now I'm confused. LOL

I was at a training workshop a couple months ago and out of all the officers there (at least 50), I only saw 1 officer with a revolver. He wasn't in uniform, so I don't know if that was issued or it was his off duty weapon.

Thanks Eric. My last chance to get an AK clone and you beat me to it. Now I might not get a chance to ever own one while I'm living in this damn state.

State police is issued the sig p229. I've seen several departments in North Jersey with Glocks and a couple with HKs and Sigs.

One thing that's stopping me from getting a 1911 kimber ultra carry is the need for a take down tool for field stripping. All my other semi auto pistols don't need tools for field stripping.

But it's commie pig ammo! LOL. . Just kidding.

All available used firearms at meltzer's is listed on their website. http://meltzerssportinggoods.com/2010/pre-owned-firearms-4

if you're only going to use it for target shooting at a range, i see no problem in getting the cheap ones. However, if you will be using it for competition or home defense, you WILL want to use OEM ones.

They make it sound like it's banned in New Jersey. Well, is it? Or are they referring to the mag capacity? http://www.nj.gov/oag/newsreleases10/pr20101116b.html

Now if they would hire hot looking female TSA agents with hooters like uniforms to do the pat down, I would gladly fall in line. I'm not about to let some random guy do it.

the sad thing is, I wouldn't be surprised if it was the ammo that was not allowed. kinda like the stupid hollow point rule.

Yeah, that's what I said when I first bought my handgun and shotgun. It didn't work out that way for me. Just get the biggest you can afford. You'll fill it up sooner or later.

So, is it the ammo or the pistol that's a no no? Because you can definitely load slugs in a judge. I think I also saw a couple other handgun calibers ammo loaded with slugs.

not gonna happen. All government agencies want some sort of control. They would want to verify ALL postings to make sure it's accurate. I can't imagine Maks agreeing with the SP or any other agency to only allow certain posts (basically be a nanny moderator) and to clean up the FAQ, its content, and verify all postings for accuracy. An example is handgunlaw.us. no matter how good the information is on that website, it still tells you to call the proper authorities and verify with them before traveling.

what? no sig 1911s? I'm disappointed in you.

From what I have heard from some friends and read on the various internet forums, S&W and Colt revolvers are top notch. I've also read good things about the Ruger LCR. Finally, I've been told by a few that the only good quality revolver from Taurus is the Judge.

I'm reading through this thread and I'm thinking tactical = attached accessories. If tactical is a state of mind, does one really need attachments and gizmos to their weapon of choice?

It sounds like a great gun for its intended use, which I think would be for close quarters defense. I would be worried about all the pellets in the shell not hitting the target if it's farther than 5 yards. I would not want to hit a bystander.

Never tried it, but the reviews I read says it's a show gun. Just the "hey look at this" factor. Highly inaccurate, specially using the .410 shotgun ammo. I know Ray Ray was looking at one. Don't know if he bought one.

They might be like jersey. They don't know the difference between the rounds, they just heard it's evil, so they put it on their ban list. LOL
