I am all set with my ARs. With Murphy on the anti-2A rampage, I expect a stiffer AWB within the next couple years, up to and including a full AR and maybe even a semi-auto ban. Of course, we get to keep our Marlin 60s. Any AR purchase would have to be crazy cheap for me to buy one now, knowing that I may need to dump it in the near future. I wish I had made my AR purchases face-to-face back in the day and not in gun shops.

I stopped shopping at Dick's, although I doubt they noticed. I was not aware WalMart also put a 21 year old restriction on gun sales. I am not a big Walmart shopper as it is, but I will make an effort to avoid them.

I use 2 similar cabinets in my basement for guns and ammo. My only fear is my kids getting into my stuff, and I find both cabinets to be sufficient for my needs. I have a house alarm. Any bad guy who enters my house will be met by a deafening sound and a police response within 5 minutes. I doubt they will have time to find a tool to pry open my cabinets before the police arrive. I do not own any guns that are special or unique or have any sentimental value. Most of my guns could be replaced within a week. On the stealth idea.... I have an upright freezer with a keyed lock. When it dies, I will convert it into a gun cabinet.

I do not have the finances to learn too much about high end bourbons. I treat myself to a bottle of Knob Creek or Bulliet or Buffalo Trace from time to time, but Evan Williams satisfies on a tight budget.

Ooops. My mistake for using the words open carry. Let me clarify.... I have no intention of wearing a full-size, drop-leg tactical rig for a full size gun. By open carry, I mean a small OWB belt holster for a snub that would most likely be covered by a tshirt or a work shirt. By using the term open carry, I simply meant I would not be using an IWB rig. Sorry for misusing the terms.

Thanks 45Doll! Just what I was looking for. 1563621.... As to why carry at home? .......If NJ will not let allow me, a law abiding citizen who has passed at least 40 background checks, to legally carry outside of my home, I will choose to exercise the limited rights I have in the hope that minds will be changed. If LEO rolls up on me for mowing whist carrying, I need to know the statute.

I have spent the past 45 minutes looking here and googling for the NJ statute that allows (exempts) for open/concealed carry at home. Does anyone have a statute/link? I carry a snubby S&W on my hip whilst doing chores at home, indoors and outdoors, and want to have that statute handy. Gracias

Tanner's in PA will have these for $14.99 for a brick next week. If you purchase a case the price will come down to $13.99 a brick.

An answer from Mossberg regarding buying just the wood for my 500.... "Thank you for your email. We most likely will however currently that particular wood furniture is not available yet as the gun itself has not been released yet. I would recommend checking back early 2019 for pricing and part numbers. Thank you."

I sent Mossberg CS an email. I will update with the results.

I have been wanting to take my 500 Persuader and replace plastic with wood to get this exact retro look. I wonder if Mossberg would sell me just the wood?

What does it say on the receiver? If it says Ruger 10-22, then it is a Ruger 10-22 and you are good to go. I have seen Ruger 10-22 M1 carbine type guns for sale in local shops.

Eye of the beholder. I like quirky cars.

I like to pass on info of good companies that stand behind what they make. I purchased an inexpensive Wheeler gun smithing screwdriver set not too long ago. https://www.midwayusa.com/product/297593/wheeler-engineering-28-piece-space-saver-gunsmithing-screwdriver-set On the first usage, the magnet fell out of the driver. Not a big deal, as I have many magnetic drivers. Last week, a bit was bent whilst removing a stubborn screw in my Marlin 336. An email to Wheeler, with just a few back and forths with a rep and a few pics, got me a complete replacement set within a week. I only requested the replacement bit. That is great customer service.

While on the topic of cars. The CRV is excellent, but ...... My 2010 Scion xB is currently at 215,000 miles without a single repair. Ever. All I do is change the oil, filters and replace tires and brakes. It is a Camry 2.4L drivetrain under a boxy body. I recommend the xB as great car to all who will listen. They stopped making them a few years back. If they still made it, I would buy another. It will go to my soon to be 17-year-old son.

We used the USAA car buying service for my wife's new 2015 CVR. Took all the hassle of negotiations out of the equation. I know Costco has a car buying service. I liked the simplicity of the deal. Near invoice for a popular car with a very clear out the door price. I would imagine car buying services would work with used cars, too. I have bought 2 new Hondas and 1 used Nissan from Honda of Toms River and I have been pleased with the dealer. As for the CRV, tell your nephew it is a great car (not really a secret). We are at about 90,000 mies without any issues at all and the car still drives like new. The CVT took some getting used to.

Let me start with this.... I am in no way a great shot. I bought a used Mossberg MVP Predator rifle with the cheapo 3-9x scope that came with it. My first outing with the rifle at Range 14 had me ringing a 6" steel plate at 200 yards. Round after round after round. It got almost boring after awhile. Range 14 is limited to 200 yards, but I was very pleased with the rifle.

That thing is the size of Georgia!

When I worked at a FFL I was told an "approved" NICS check was good for 30 days.

No experience with the gun meeself, but I think Garden State Shooting Center had one on the rental rack a while back. If you do decide to rent it, bring your own gun so can rent it by yourself. Without your own gun, even with FPID, you cannot rent a gun by yourself at GSSC.

I reload magazines at my car as well....never had an issue

Its called Shooters and has a huge inventory. Its about 28 feet east of the Parkway.

$365!?!?!?!??! That is bull shitake. Pistol permits cost $2 each. Finger printing and the mental background check should not cost more than $30 each. Someone is, again, giving out bad info.
