A friend of mine has is FFL for a couple years now at his house in a residential area in north NJ. VERY residential. Some how they snuck under the radar, and when the town found out they tried to shut it down, but the threat of a lawsuit after he had been established for over a year shut them up. When you apply for zoning do you have to list exactly what type of business you are going to run? or can you just say private home based business...

Nothing states that you are required to update your FPID. If you move, it becomes invalid, and you can apply for a duplicate with the updated info, but it must be within 30 days. If you choose not to request a duplicate, or 30 days passes, you can either do nothing, where as you no longer posses a valid FPID, or you can just re-apply for one. I have no idea what the difference is between re-applying or requesting a duplicate, if i had to guess it's probably the same process and takes the town the same time to issue the new FPID. So the 30 day rule is kind of a moot point.

Yes. I would buy that. what is it?

Media hype... worthless... after 12.21.2012 they will just find something else to hype up.... that is considering the world doesn't end...mwhahahaha. Some of the shows on natgeo are actually really good, like aftermath.

I'm actually in a bit of a dilemma myself. I have a break..pre drilled, i will drill into the threads, i have a pin for it... i have located a friend who works with welding, but he does mig. I have read to only do a tig weld. I know he can weld, but im afraid about this whole mig and tig stuff and whether or not its worth bring to a respectable place where i know it will get done right. I would personally try and pin it vs soldering, especially if someone is willing to drill it for you. I would send my barrel out to get welded if i dont find someone local. There comes a point where i would rather have it done right then try and do it myself.

I just dropped 300 on a dd lite 10" i hope nothing comes out that i like better or im gonna be PISSED!

I just got back from a nice trip to VT. It was -5 with a windchill of like -12, i don't mind the cold when I'm prepared for it, but when u feel you nostrils freeze every time you take a breath i think that's about my limit. If i'm going to be out in under 30 degree whether i wear thermal leggings, under 15 and i wear thermals shirts. If its windy out i will throw on my snow shells, pants and jacket to block the wind. When the wool socks come out, that usually the last article of clothing i will wear until i just say screw it. But honestly +10 is probably my comfort limit.

hahaha!!! now that is funny. Any number of things could be a result, my guess is sheer mania will ravage the streets from the fear factor, but i have a tendency to disregard human involvement in such matters.... we screw everything up eventually..that's just a given. Imagine if a reversal emitted an EMP... Sh*t be fallin from the sky, planes satallites.. u name it. Every electronic device on the planet would be worthless. Better make sure those back up sights are dialed in.

They definitely swap, no question about that, rocks have been dug up showing reverse formation in there atomic structure. Only one thing determines the structure formation of rocks, and it is the magnetic field which creates these nice consistent structures. Believe it or not, ever wonder how bees all manage to make there hives uni-directional? We use the same technique to create magnets, which takes otherwise, non-polar structures, and merely re-arranges the structure to become polar. Axeman is correct, we have seen these swaps through geological dating, to have taken place anywhere from 10k years between reversal, to hundreds of millions of years, so there is a very inconsistent force at work here. The time it takes for a reversal to take place would be evident in layers of rock, where you would have one configuration and a certain amount of time(or depth) in between, until we see the reverse structure. I don't think we are able to date it down to the weeks or days or even years, but a couple thousand years is basically counting minutes in terms of the life of the planet. Science is and always will be an enduring body of knowledge. People often mistake theory with law, i have this discussion all the time... how can a theory change? Well easily, it wasn't written in stone to begin with. I sincerely look down upon people who treat theory as law, we should always be divulging in the opportunity of possibility. I will say this, people are crazy if they think the world will end from a pole reversal. Yes, it will change. How? no idea. But we have a lot of evidence to show massive amounts of life surviving, which people seem to completely negate, nothing to prove the earth will suddenly change rotation, or that the field itself will become weak and allow destructive solar winds to hit the earth. People find an "solution" and try and make it fit the problem. This creates biased opinions and large amounts of speculation. Instead of trying to figure out where this sound came from people will instead try to make things fit the sound.

I believe there was some huge controversy over the IR detectors which were being used on aircraft to search persons homes for possible large scale drug operations, as most have a large heat signature. However, they deemed it illegal, at least in cali, to do it over residential areas. When will these people learn, it doesn't matter what tool you use to search someone or their belongings. If you are able to "see" something otherwise presumably private then it is an illegal search. Using a device to look under someones clothing is the same thing as making them take the clothing off. The TSA is able to get away with it, because flying is a luxury and u have to play by their rules, but walking down the street with out having your privacy violated is still part of the constitution.

Honestly, i think they had a good concept going here. But the lack of originality killed it. A good looking adj. stock and functional top rail would be sweet. That rail on there looks completely useless, and the stock makes it looks like a turd.

Ocean currents are like the weather, they follow a distinct pattern based from areas of low and high temperatures. They move in all different directions. Salt water is conductive, but it needs a source of energy, and its not what some would consider to be an excellent conductor. Whereas the earths core, made up of molten iron, is to be considered naturally magnetic. The question these people should be asking who consider this theory... why do the magnetic poles line up on opposite sides of the earth if the ocean is responsible? Also, one would assume that during the ice age's that there is considerably less dissolved salts in the water, especially at the earth poles, where the salts create pockets with-in the ice..... If this theory was anywhere true, that means that no or barely any magnetic field would have been present during long periods of time when the earth was more then 95% frozen on the surface. The magnetic field is thought to reverse polarity, however, ocean currents don't necessarily change that quickly in general. They may change over time, like everything, but they do not change direction unless something(land mass) changes, or if the temperature changes. Pangea is a great way to show why, 300million years ago was the last time we had one great land mass, and since then the continental plates have been moving apart, or back together depending on how you look at it. Geologists have theorized that the poles swap about every 1 million years, which is far to consistent to attribute it to the ocean currents. Good read if your interested in the topic. http://physicsworld....icle/news/39469

The point is it could happen to you with any muzzle break, or anything where the law fails to clarify or create definitions.

You can use the ATF letters. NJ makes no effort to declare muzzle devices, so you have to make a judgement based on something. The courts in NJ will recognize the ATF letters although they don't have to follow them. Same thing with pinning a muzzle brake or stock. There are no such guidelines in NJ, and we use the ATF guidelines. If the state wont make a decision on clarifying it's regulations then we have to find something of equal status to compare to. This way, even if the courts rule against you, you have proven that you did everything in your power to follow the law. The simple answer is, you dont need the ATF letters, NJ cours will have to prove that the muzzle device is a flash suppressor, since they have no guidelines then they would have to directly prove it suppressors the muzzle flash. Same thing with pinning your brake, no guideline exists, if they didn't accept the ATF's guide then they would try and take it off, and put it back on to see if its perm or not. A muzzle brake is not a design, its a function, you cannot make a legal argument just by looking at it. The simple fact is, you can be arrested just for having a muzzle device in the first place since any muzzle brake can be confused with a flash hider.... that closed end don't mean crap.

Hey man, don't take it personal. Some LEO's are out to get people, don't ask me why. I've had enough encounters with the police to see both sides of the argument. I've met really nice ones, who are generally just trying to do the right thing, and who on more then one occasion have given me a break. On the other hand ive had the exact opposite experience. In my town its a 50/50 chance, some of the guys are really nice, respectful and all around good guys, while others seem to have something to prove. Either way, i would never tell someone to lie to LEO's, or treat them in a disrespectful manner. You deal with different kinds of people all day long, just like we have to deal with different LEO's. I didnt want to sound disrespectful to you or any of the other LEO's on here, but i treat u guys like i treat every other person. When i see genuine respect i return it. My point was, in other parts of the country, they have small police forces where everyone knows each other, which is a far cry from what we have in this area...

Shot reputation vs. jail for 10 years... hmmm..... just say'n.

They "want" a muzzle break to have a closed end, the exit hole is a little larger then the bore. This however, doesn't make a muzzle brake, it is just what they look for to determine if it is a muzzle brake. The simple answer is the battlecomp does nothing to suppress the flash, if anything it makes it slightly bigger. The 1.5 does have the closed end, it is just recessed, which makes people hesitant. I believe the BATFE declared the FSC as a muzzle brake, but the 1.5 came out after they stopped ruling on these things.

I thought you had to fall into some exception to get your mailing address like a PO box on your DL? They want a physical address unless you have a reason. Per title 39.

You can apply for an FPID when ever you want! The statute is for a duplicate of an already acquired FPID. Which would mean to me they just give you a new one with updated info.... not sure... most PD's just make you apply for a new FPID not a duplicate, and honestly it probably takes the same amount of time. Has anyone actually applied for a duplicate? what the difference between applying for a duplicate and just re-applying.

The thing is, people are fine with paying for it, but like u said the system seems to be pretty fcked up, so why bother paying for a system that apparently doesnt work? I dont mind paying for a lot of social services, i just dont want to see the money go to waste, or some scumbags pocket.

Nor do most people even give a crap when they do see an illness... most people don't care unless it directly affects them. I mean, i still dont understand how people say Medical MJ is a joke, but people will fight it to the grave. Same thing with guns, the most anti-gunners will want one when they are put in a life threatening situation. If you were against Medical MJ and your kid came down with cancer, and you saw how it helped, you would change your mind. People are just oblivious unless it smacks them right in the face.

Omg thanks, i've been wondering what the hell the deal is... that fixed it!

While i have a tendency to agree with this, at the same time, nothing in the statute defines what a muzzle brake is, or how it has to be designed. Therefore, the 1.5 does fall within the law, as it is a muzzle break by design and function. It is also advertised as a muzzle brake. The simple fact is, you can be wrongfully prosecuted for a number of things, this being one of them, but u wouldnt have a hard time proving its a muzzle brake. The idea that all muzzle brakes must have a closed end is not correct, it's just another one of NJ's vauge terms and a rule of thumb, but there is, like everything in life, exceptions. FYI- i have a battle comp 1.5, and it does make me worry, but in the end it is a muzzle break, i like it, and i aint gonna let retarded NJ spoil my fun! A huge plus is the pre-drilled hole at the 6 for pinning, i just tapped a hole into the threads bought some steel pins brought to a friends shop and had it tacked. So for the extra cash it costs, it wound up being the same, as there is no way i was going to make the initial hole myself in the brake, maybe if i had a drill press, but it didnt cost me anything to get it tacked and the rest of the work i did myself.

The thing is, in many parts of the country, owning and carrying a firearm is the daily norm. These people dont understand how some parts of the country are so different. Same thing with LEO's, it's not unherd of in many parts of the country to be very familiar with and trust worthy of the cops in your area. These are logical people, who visit retarded illogical areas of the country, where they would fall over dead if they read some of our laws.

I cant figure out why but i have to agree with this. Maybe it's because im young and my rates still go down with age, but at least look at different carriers when its time to renew, you could be saving a few hundred bucks. The reality is, most of these companies are the same, and they will try and hold you at the highest amount possible for as long as possible. Some companies also use different factors for deciding on your rate which change over time.
