background checks
Were you expecting everyone to be on the same page as yourself? You'll notice that people have varying degrees of tolerance for "2A rights"; with some demanding absolutely no restrictions whatsoever and others believing that some level of vetting is prudent. Most fall somewhere in-between an outright ban on all firearms over .22 and allowing for private ownership of ICBMs.

Speaking of Suicides... (Sad)
Very talented storyteller and chef. I disagreed with him on most political positions, but I bet he would be a great guy to knock-back a few with.

background checks
I might get flamed here, oh well. I have absolutely no problems with guns being removed, FID forfeited, etc. due to a restraining order. If they are being granted frivolously, then that is something that should be addressed and corrected. But otherwise, if someones wife/daughter/sister/mother feels that their only protection against harassment (or worse) is a restaining order, then it should be taken seriously and every precaution made until a hearing is had.

SP 101- Who’s Got One?
As with any other firearm, you choose the load to accomplish the task at hand. I've used a .357 numerous times as a trail gun when hunting out west, but it be loaded with Buffalo Bore 180gr. hardcasts. Rifle is usually attached to my pack without a round in the chamber; and while it only takes a few seconds to get it ready for a shot, a bear or lion may not give you that much time. Hence a loaded and holstered handgun. I have absolutely no doubt whatsoever that they will handle bears just fine. As a matter of fact, if the area I am hunting doesn't have grizzlies, then I'll substitute a G23 with 200gr hardcasts.

First time Shooting Woes
2nd time shooting and already at 150 yards with a 9mm. Very impressive!

AR pics, lets see'um!
Just finished it up, and technically my first AR build. 18" SPR barrel on Noveske matched upper and lower. Scope is a Steiner 3-15x50. Haven't gotten to shoot at distance yet, still breaking-in the barrel, but hopefully will get it stretched out in the next few months.

Accurate short stock .22 rifle?
Huh? Can you cite some reference to this please?

A nice little quiz on ammo!
Took it a bunch of times today. And finally: 35/35 Booyah!

Accurate short stock .22 rifle?
I've heard nothing but good things about the CZ rimfires. For the price, I don't think you can get a better quality rimfire. Don't get into the whole switchbarrel thing, its an added cost the will very rarely if ever be needed. Don't let others dissuade you from getting a bolt gun for your first .22. Contrary to popular belief, a Mark series and a 10/22 are not the end-all be-all for rimfires. I bought a Kimber 82 Hunter many years ago, and do not wish for a semi ever. I would say that it would be the ideal rifle for you, but they are not made anymore. The CZ is very close.

Rifle Hunting Limitations in NJ
That is correct, you also have to use bullets that are HP/soft-point and weigh less than 80 grains. The rifle permit that you are asking about has nothing to do with firearms laws; It is a hunting permit. Basically just an added expense if you already have a rifle hunting license from another state. Keep in mind that semi-auto rifles cannot be used for PA big game hunting. Also keep in mind; while PA is a great state to hunt in, you'd be hard pressed to find a state that has a greater potential for quantitative success than NJ.

Favorite Steak House
That's because it is not very well known outside of the area, and hopefully will remain that way. I must've driven by several dozen times and wondered why so many cars were parked in their lot, and the adjacent lot before I realized that it was actually a restaurant.

Places to eat in Dallas
Hard Eight BBQ There are several locations in DFW area; all guaranteed to give you the meat sweats.

AR muzzle brake
They are there to allow the shooter to remain on target/see hits and for quicker follow-up shots, at least that's what I put one on my rifle for. None of my hunting rifles have a brake, and they kick quite a bit more than an AR (even in 308).

Chiappa Rhino?
I do not have any direct experience with the Rhino, but often shoot with somebody that has several of them. IIRC - the summary is that they shoot very flat but take some getting used to. They do look very cool in person, tactical (for a revolver). The options that can be had are intriguing. A .357/9mm combo, 40S&W snubbie, 9x21 revolver, etc. are pretty rare birds.

Port Authority Commissioner vs Tenafly PD
The PA Board should refuse her offer of resignation, and then immediately fire her for cause. No where on her resume should it say that she chose to leave her position.

Trying To Make My AR 15 NJ Compliant
If you are having compliance work done anyways, you might as well just have your existing rifle be made compliant by pinning the stock and muzzle device. It would be much cheaper than buying a whole new upper and then getting your stock pinned. Otherwise, to answer your question, there is no issue in mixing and matching upper to lower, as long as they are both mil-spec. you "should" be fine. From a compliance standpoint, yes, it is legal to mix-n-match uppers/lowers.

Anyone Know of Private Land that can be used for a private range?
As mentioned, there are several ranges in NJ and PA that allow for staging of targets, movement, holster work, etc.. OBRPC, CJRPC, EFGA, amongst others. I think folks are referring to the idea of leasing their land to allow for shooting. From a liability standpoint, it would be about the dumbest thing a landowner could possibly do. Purchasing your own land? Have at it, although there are many considerations that have to be met as well. IMO - your best bet would be to shoot some local idpa/uspsa/3-gun matches. You wouldn't have to devote the time/expense of buying gear (targets/steel/etc.), setting-up and tearing-down, maintenance.

Smoking question
I stand corrected. I was unaware that the OP was smoking homemade sausage and not the typical ribs/butt/brisket/chicken that go on a smoker. As an aside, there are dozens of varieties of paprika, some of which are very mild and sweet, while others can get quite hot and spicy.

In bulk? The only things that you should be using a lot of is salt, pepper and paprika. BTW - I like https://www.penzeys.com/shop/spices/

Recommendation for a Lever Action, Pistol Caliber Carbine
Lots of 38/357 models around. Something like https://www.henryusa.com/rifles/all-weather-big-boy/ Just replace sights with some sort of peep/ghost ring/etc., and your all set. Or you can just buy this guy: https://www.marlinfirearms.com/lever-action/model-1894/model-1894-cst

Powder coating/painting my 1911
Had a 2011 done in ionbond DLC by http://www.clubcustomguns.com/ Highly recommended, and no wear after 2 years and hundreds of draw/reholster in a kydex holster.

Scope choices for SPR'ish build
Having a really hard time finally deciding on a scope for my AR build. Purpose is for general range use, and occasional predator/medium-size game hunting. Range will be anything out to around 5-600 yards. I will pretty much never be using the reticle for ranging, so SFP vs FFP isn't a huge concern. I think that i've narrowed it down to the following: Nightforce NXS 2.5x10x42mm Illuminated MOAR reticle Weight:20oz Lightweight, compact (12"), SFP Nightforce NXS 3x15x50mm Illuminated MOAR reticle Weight:30oz Heavy, long (14.7"), SFP Steiner T5Xi 3-15x50mm SCR MOA reticle Weight:30oz Heavy, compact (13.1"), FFP Right now, the Steiner is in the lead...Anybody have other recommendations?
