Sheer stupidity on someone's part. (and in Franklin Lakes???) http://www.nj.com/be...police_say.html FRANKLIN LAKES — Police are investigating a report that a single rifle round was shot through a Valley View Drive North home over the weekend. "The round appears to have been fired from a wooded area located to the rear of the property," Franklin Lakes police spokesman John Bakelaar said in a statement. He said the incident occurred sometime between 10 and 10:30 p.m. on Saturday, and that the bullet entered the rear of the building, went through the home and exited through the front. No injuries were reported, and the Bergen County Sheriff’s Department BCI unit investigated the scene.

The provision for continued ownership of "assault" rifles is for residents to register them in order to legally possess and use them. (Remember, when a N.Y. resident dies now they cannot transfer the registered firearm to a legal heir. It needs to be sold out of state or turned in to police.) There is no provision for a non-resident to register a gun, and who would if there was such a thing? You cannot shoot your "fill-in-the-blank" rifle if it fits their description as defined in New York anymore. However: Your Ruger 10/22 in standard configuration loaded with 7-rounds in the magazine is fine. Your M1 Garand with the bayonet lug ground off with less than 8 rounds in the en-bloc clip is fine. (Those new seven-round clips will be coming out shortly. Grind the bayonet lug? That's sacrilegious.) Your M1A with flash suppressor removed, threads ground off the muzzle end with 7-rounds in the detachable magazine is fine. (How you affix a front sight after that exercise and keep it pretty is a chore for the kitchen-gunsmith.) Your AR is toast. The law is extremely onerous. I suggest you call 1-855-529-4867 where the NYSP will be happy to give you a detailed if not terse response of "no." (That's the story I got.) We can only hope that the lawsuits filed will rectify some of the issues.

Will this suffice?

You could post a plea on NewJerseyHunter.com and ask a trapper to come get it for you. They are still in season for trappers. Much more silent than a firearm going off in the neighborhood, which probably isn't a good idea unless you are in a very rural area. Or call F&W. This is posted on their website as for "what to do." : http://www.nj.gov/de...coyote_info.htm "If you observe coyotes in the daytime that show no fear of humans or if a coyote attacks a person, immediately contact your local police and the Division of Fish and Wildlife at 908-735-8793; outside of normal business hours call the DEP Hotline at 877-WARN-DEP."

+1 Then try some WD40 on a bit of 0000-steel wool and lightly rub just the rust away.

Winter coyote hunting is a big deal up in the N.Y. counties I hunt. Each year they have a 3-day hunt that draws close to 1,000 competitors. It's become as popular as some of the ice fishing tournaments. (The largest coyote taken in New York was by hunter Shawn Orchard that weighed 81 lbs. up in Ontario, Wayne Co. during deer season some years back. 81 lbs.?) Those that are most successful in the 3-day hunt use hounds. These guys are pretty popular predator hunters up north and their hunt videos are well done.

A couple of healthy looking fox with good winter coats.

Coyote are more active now. It's their mating season (Jan. thru Mar.) so they will be out and about more.

I saw this tonight on a NY forum. In defense of the NRA, i see their President David Keene is scheduled to speak at New York's rally in Albany later this month on the 28th in protest of Cuomo's SAFE Act. http://blog.timesuni...ding-to-albany/

Acquaint yourself with Gov. Cuomo's new SAFE Act first. Technically, you have until January 14th, 2014 to ship/sell ammunition in New York. After that you need to register with the NYSP to sell ammo but buyers will submit to a background check. Your present conundrum sounds like a situation I would avoid.

Someone could misconstrue from New Jersey Code of Criminal Justice 2C:39-6. f.) that it is legal to hunt with a knife: 2C:39-6. f. Nothing in subsections b., c. and d. of N.J.S.2C:39-5 shall be construed to prevent... (2) A person carrying a firearm or knife in the woods or fields or upon the waters of this State for the purpose of hunting, target practice or fishing, provided that the firearm or knife is legal and appropriate for hunting or fishing purposes in this State and he has in his possession a valid hunting license, or, with respect to fresh water fishing, a valid fishing license; However, if you search through New Jersey Permanent Statute Title 23, for hunting in Fish and Game, Wild Birds and Animals, you won't find "knife" mentioned as a weapon for taking big game. http://www.njfishand....com/njregs.htm

Another nod for Campmor in Paramus. Knowledgeable folks there and the displays help you make a better decision than by looking through a catalog. My old Eureka 4-season has been around since Webelo's. The kids have abused it but it's held up remarkably well. Sleeping bags are equally important especially if you intend to winter camp.

Well said. Two news reports from Maryland's event yesterday: "Activists" http://www.wbaltv.co...9l/-/index.html "Advocates" http://www.wjla.com/...olis-84939.html

Wow. Great stuff. Thanks for sharing.

When New York's county clerks met in Albany last week, they received some news they weren't aware of as they learned they would bear the brunt (and cost) of the proposed recertification process. They are the ones who handle all the handgun license and registration records presently, and they have now gone on record to challenge. S.C.O.P.E., New York's Shooters Committee on Political Education, posted this on their website a few days ago: http://scopeny.org/N...nty_Clerks.html This has been the biggest buzz on the NY forums LIShooters, NYFirearms, NYShooters and AR15.com starting Saturday; for it mentions confiscation if guns are not registered.

There is nothing in the law yet with respect to what a non-resident must do with anything that falls into this category. They have a hotline you can call with any questions: 1-855-LAW-GUNS SAFE Act - https://workspaces.a...PBYDWe9ezGcVyrg Residents are buying what they can. They've bought all the 10-22 magazines in the Dick's by me a couple weeks ago. Each day a new vendor notifies a buyer they are no longer shipping anything over a 7 round in capacity to NY residents. SA was the latest I heard of today.

As another bad example, and one I'm sure New Jersey may soon be plagerizing, is New York's SAFE Act which has pretty much covered everything. Rather than get into nitpicking over definitions of drum vs. clip vs magazine, the politicians lumped everything under something called an "ammunition feeding device," whichs covers everything across the board. For example: Your Marlingtonchester .44 Mag. 10 or 11 shot lever-action can now only be loaded with 7 rounds. Your S&W 627 8-shot revolver can only be loaded with 7 rounds.

Combat, As others have noted, hold off and shoot your 629 before porting. I'll bet you'll shoot more light loads and come to appreciate them over time. 7 grs. of Unique behind a 240 gr. LSWC or hardcast bullet is more than adequate for practice yet it is no slouch in the energy department @ 385 ft.-lbs. of ME.

Dan Coonan's .357 Mag. semi-auto is back in production again. His was the original. http://www.coonaninc...dex.php/cPath,5 Some background - http://www.thetrutha...-357-automatic/

This law is having a ripple effect on everything. The Remington folks & workers, and townsfolk in Ilion are more than a little concerned. Legislators from at least five states courting Remington ILION, N.Y. -- Frank Brown represents thousands of increasingly restless workers of Remington Arms with the United Mine Workers of America. He said the attitude is, "Scared over there, now. Folks are starting to realize it seems very real." They've been up against union negotiations, a tough economy. "You name it, we've gone through it," he said. Except this. "For other states and congressmen of other states to actually court the business., who knows business decision-wise what the company would do, or could do," Brown said. The union says they've come across letters from senators down to state representatives from five different states basically saying 'leave New York, come here.' The letters are strongly worded reactions to New York's new gun laws. South Carolina Congressman Jeff Duncan's claims, "Enemies of freedom are waging an all-out war on the second amendment." Another from Arizona Congressman Paul Gosar says New York's laws signal, "[Remington's] business, [their] job creation and [their] contributions to New York State are no longer welcome." "There is some hope, you know, that we'll stay here," said Brown. But he is worried about the incentives states are offering, like new facilities. "You know, it's hard to say no," he admitted. But there's still a lot to figure out here in New York, so if Remington will move or not, is still relatively uncertain. The Union says they plan to join a lawsuit to overturn the law and potentially keep the company in Ilion. Some, like Congressman Richard Hanna, say they're hardly even worried or surprised at this conversation. "A world renowned company like Remington Arms would be welcome virtually anywhere," Hanna said. He's more worried about future military contracts hanging in the balance. "We very much would like to see it done here and they're perfectly geared up and capable of doing it here," he said. But Brown said morale is down. "Now that you've got us down, kick us. That's the feeling. And that's the feeling of the folks inside the plant now," he explained. But they say they'll keep fighting until the company decides where to go. Remington's union is also planning on holding a rally in Albany next month. They hope to put pressure on politicians to repeal the new gun laws. http://centralny.ynn...ting-remington/

Those folks have an uphill battle ahead of them in New York. Their "town hall" meetings are not being well received. More frustrating is the toll free number set up to speak with NYSP representatives to ask questions. Another news tidbit: http://www.syracuse.com/news/index.ssf/2013/02/rewriting_new_yorks_new_gun_la.html

I agree. Here's another version - http://offgridsurviv...es-armagazines/

Sounds like a good deal and I'm sure you'll have lots of fun. I've only dove hunted here in the U.S. down South but it is fun and fast shooting can be had on a good day. But nothing like you will see in Argentina.

391 (& Benelli) semi-auto's are the preferred loaner shotguns that you'll find at most Argentine dove camps. They have a good reputation for volume shooting. The Extrema by merits of its gas system will be a soft shooter. With that many anticipated rounds, you'll appreciate less recoil. Keep in mind you will use the shells provided by the camp so you can't pick and choose loads, meaning you'll probably get the 28 gram load (1 oz.) in 12 ga. which is what they use down here. You should research which of the two Beretta's is better suited for very light to very heavy loads. Both the A400 and Extrema II can be had with chambers up to 3.5". Whether you will need that flexibilty is the question. If a 3" gun is enough for you go with the smaller size chamber in the A400 Xplor over the Extrema II. The Extrema is designed as an extreme waterfowl gun, but I have read it cycles anything. If you have a need for a shotgun what that much range in shell choice, just ensure that it will feed and eject light dove loads for you in a foreign land. I'm sure if you speak to someone down there you'll have an answer to help with your decision.

One of NY's SAFE Act meetings that are being conducted around the state this week. This one was in Buffalo a couple days ago. Worth the half-hour watch with a cup of coffee when you have time. Lots of questions, canned answers in response. I would agree and consider these "fair notice" meetings that NY is conducting. They are not testing the waters as some think. It's past that stage already.
