Wow. In Pennsylvania, I just shoot the S.O.B. I only have to worry about over penetration and cleanup. Oh, and hearing loss.

Can only go by what the newscaster was saying, and I thought patrol rifles were stored locked in trunks. This was laying across a back seat.

Not at all. The timing though was suspicious.

Only in non free states. I just picked up some 30rd ProMag (yuck, prefer Pmag) and another Kimber 8rd magazine on Friday. Bullets for reloading though are as rare as hens teeth, especially 223. Was told primer probably wont be available for at least 9 months, powder just as long.

One of the first reports that came in had an overhead helicopter earlier in the day, footage was in broad daylight. The shotgun "reveal" was done hours later in the dark.

Damn. Makes me wish I hadnt seen the helicopter footage that showed them pulling an AR out of the back seat of his car as well as the shotgun in the trunk.

My apologies, a proposed bill they are trying to fast track in Connecticut: http://www.thetrutha...-a-single-shot/ http://www.cga.ct.go...0122-R00-SB.htm Referred to Committee on JUDICIARY Introduced by: SEN. MEYER, 12th Dist. AN ACT CONCERNING RESTRICTIONS ON GUN USE. Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives in General Assembly convened: That the general statutes be amended to establish a class C felony offense, except for certain military and law enforcement personnel and certain gun clubs, for (1) any person or organization to purchase, sell, donate, transport, possess or use any gun except one made to fire a single round, (2) any person to fire a gun containing more than a single round, (3) any person or organization to receive from another state, territory or country a gun made to fire multiple rounds, or (4) any person or organization to purchase, sell, donate or possess a magazine or clip capable of holding more than one round. Statement of Purpose: <a name="P67_1013">To reduce the use of guns for criminal purposes.

Well, they did do the NY trigger, but surprised considering that the law is being rewritten to exempt LEO. Guess they didnt want to lose the NYPD contract. Any looking to make 7rd AR mags, or the 1rd mag that CT just passed?

PA here. You guys better reign in Round Boy (aka Christie). We already know he isnt 2A friendly, now he's bending in the wind and going after the NRA:http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/ticket/christie-nra-ad-obama-daughters-reprehensible-230123003--politics.html If NJ Jabba is your idea of a conservative, start looking for/buying the non existant 7rd mags. First bear hugging OhBlowMe, now this..... Also heard online from shot show that vendors are not likely to make 7rd mags for just one state, as that state will most likely lower the mag count in the not-so-distant future is a waste

Nah, I could never divorce her, she's a great gal. 'sides, she knows how to shoot

Whats funny is, we get home from NJ and wife and I exchange gifts. She got me a shotgun. With the money I was going to use to get the pistol. Im supposed to pick it up tomorrow. So now I have to contact my cousin and tell him Ill be taking a wee bit longer to send the $$$. Which I dont think will be a hassle as he has it set aside for me in the first place. All this after Ive been 1911 lusting all weekend....

Yup, that thread devolved into a fight over legalities etc. Anyway, lined up a NJ FFL who can do it, now squaring things away with my local PA FFL. Cousin will be gone on business for 4 weeks, so now I have to wait for him to get back to NJ and for him to call me in PA to get the ball rolling.

Hello again from PA! I have a cousin who wants to sell me a pistol (it's actually the very first pistol I ever shot over 20 years ago at Rays Sporting Goods - so it has sentimental value for me). I live 6 hours away in PA, he lives in NJ. My local FFL in PA will only accept transfers from another FFL. So, I need to find an FFL in the Basking Ridge area who offers this service and will mail the handgun to my local FFL in PA. How much does something like this cost?

You should do the run out to Flight 93. Very beautiful area to ride. And yes, while I do get homesick from time to time (I still listen to 77WABC, 1010WINS, 880 and 66WFAN online - people think Im nuts when I turn up the volume for the traffic reports), I am happy Imade the move.

Lo all! Was originally from NJ (for about 34 years). Met a girl online from Shanksville PA who was going to FDU around 1998, got married in '99 and left NJ in '04. Most of my family is still in NJ (Basking Ridge/Gillete area) and I visit them on the Holidays. Have read with interest the idea of NJ possibly allowing CCW, would love to be able to drive carrying from PA to NJ (big 2A proponent). Had gone target shooting in the past with friends/family/etc that owned firearms and have recently joined a private gun club in order to work on my shooting as well help my daughter with her target shooting. Through my FIL, am learning the art of reloading as well. I drop in from time to time to see how the gun situation is in NJ, hoping that NJ wakes up and maybe one day becomes Shall Issue so that I can get the rest of my NJ family involved in a great sport as well as exercise a Constitutional Right.

Here are the four inviolate rules of firearms safety as codified by Jeff Cooper. "We hoped by this time that the standard rules of safe gunhandling would have become universal throughout the world. They have been arrived at by careful consideration over the years, and they do not need modification or addition. We trust that all the family have them by heart in all languages, but for those who came in late here they are again: 1.) All guns are always loaded. Even if they are not, treat them as if they are. 2.) Never let the muzzle cover anything you are not willing to destroy. (For those who insist that this particular gun is unloaded, see Rule 1.) 3.) Keep your finger off the trigger till your sights are on the target. This is the Golden Rule. Its violation is directly responsible for about 60 percent of inadvertent discharges. 4.) Identify your target, and what is behind it. Never shoot at anything that you have not positively identified. Those will do. We need all four and we do not need five. It should not be necessary to belabor this issue, but life is not perfect. – Jeff Cooper, Commentaries, Volume 11, Number 4."

My 11 yo daughter learned to shoot air rifle in 4H when she was 9. I just introduced her to 22 with her own MKIII Ruger and 10/22. We went out two weeks ago to a private range run by my sportsman's club. She had a blast! She said the pistol was just like shooting her "air rifle, no kick Daddy!" She had done the Eddie Eagle program through 4H, and I ran her through proper fire arm handling and storage, as well as use on my own. I bought her her own ear muffs and shooting glasses, as well as got her reactive targets that had florescent colors. I also took four of our younger ones (we have 6 kids: 11, 8, 5, 5, 4 and 14 months - didnt show the 14 month old LOL) and using a crossman BB pistol, went through firearms safety in our back yard. First thing: treat all guns like they are loaded, you see a gun, dont touch it, get mom and dad. Rule 2: You can only shoot with Dad. Rule 3: Never point a gun at anyone, or look down a barrel. Rule 4: never touch the trigger until you have aimed at a target and are ready to shoot. Rule 5: know what you are shooting at. I think if I approach the subject of guns with them, rather than let them find out on their own, the chances of something happening should be lessened. We home school, and I was able to get a free video http://www.nssf.org/requestForms/safetyDVD.cfm that is good for her younger siblings. You might want to get one (warning, took about 8 weeks to get in the mail).

Voted! I have family in NJ, so I still count!

My God Im glad I left NJ! When will it be realized that strict gun laws do NOTHING to deter crime and in fact embolden the criminal (who better to rob than the unarmed?). I left NJ about 6 years ago and moved to PA. I am now the proud owner of a 1915 Erfurt Mauser, Ruger Mk III and Ruger 10/22 (for my 10 soon-to-be 11 year old daughter to use for target competition), a 1936 Savage 29 and a Ruger P95. I can open carry in this state, as well as CCW (with a 5 year LTCF), things unheard of back home. I think it will take a long time for you guys to change the mindset in many of the voters in NJ who are still clinging to the belief that strict(er) gun laws equate to safety. That article was pretty pathetic. Good Luck guys!
