Mag carrier chest rig revisited...
I'm actually looking for something similar as well. I'm a pretty slim guy so i would think a properly sized vest would suit me better. Since a full sized pistol would fit better on a vest then on my hip, as well as a knife. I've been looking around for a decent vest that allows the option to mount where you want for a decent price and have yet to find one. The ones i like don't give you the options to move stuff around where you want it. My ideal vest would be a pistol holster, 4 pistol mag pouches, 4 rifle mag pouches, or 2x2. And a spot to place my knife, preferably upside down across the left side of my chest. Still cant find a good one priced accordingly there either cheap or expensive, Not looking for armor just something that has everything i need ready to go.

No refusal" DUI checkpoints could be coming to Tampa
As far as i know you can be given a ticket for careless driving or even reckless driving at the discretion of the officer, you don't necessarily have to be given a ticket for driving drowzy under maggie's law to get caught up in a legal battle. I was once given a careless driving ticket for changing lanes too quickly at an intersection...It was a clean lane change well under the speed limit, yet he thought it was extremely dangerous. So if you were driving erratically and got pulled over told the officer you were tired, he could very well cite you for careless or reckless driving. Heck, half the dui's i read about in the police blotter are accompanied by careless or reckless driving, as if a dui didnt imply that already. Also, i have had friends refuse sobriety tests, breath tests and blood test, a good lawyer will have any drunk/intoxicated charges dropped based on a no evidence factor rarely will a court ever rely solely on testimony as they don't want there officers being scrutinized. and at most you loose your license for the 3 months and pay some fines for the refusal. Much better then having a dui on you record. Of course im talking about your typical i'm fine to drive drinker, not your other typical plastered driver. Do i agree with said above? no not really. We live in a system of check and balances, sometimes it works out for the cops, sometimes the drunk driver gets away.

Aquiring a handgun upon parents death
The primary thing to consider is if your ever questioned regarding the legality of the gun, you want a clear cut way to prove it was inherited. The easiest way would be to have the will or notarized section which clearly states this. I wouldn't take any chances and would only suggest doing it this way, even better.. you get around registering the firearms.

Challenging NRA Instructor re: NJ Firearms Laws (And PA)
I'm not certain about PA, but some states recognize the magazine as part of the gun, if the magazine is loaded the gun is loaded even if the gun is in the trunk locked with the mag locked in a separate container. I think CA follows this.

Challenging NRA Instructor re: NJ Firearms Laws (And PA)
These are not classes designed to inform the public of the rules/laws and regulations. Take it for what its worth.. I too would be wary of such classes that can misinform, but its not his job to teach the laws, its his job to teach/train the class for it purpose. On the other hand he should not be teaching or clarifying the laws either, in all seriousness it's a very bad move on his part, its not part of the class and could get him in trouble.

Correct me if im wrong but i believe there is no such thing as open carry in a car. A gun in a car constitutes being concealed....

No refusal" DUI checkpoints could be coming to Tampa
Don't forget in NJ i believe a year or two ago they recognize driving "drowzy" or sleepy to be just as bad as driving under the influence. Don't ever use the excuse im tired! Vlad makes some very good points i cant help but support. Medications in particular effect individuals differently on many different levels. I've seen people smoke a little weed and freak out, and i've seen people take down boat loads of smoke and be just fine. That's just a small example, but again two people being prescribed xanax...one could operate a vehicle and be fine, while the other can't stand up, sometimes its just the effect the drug has on you in particular and doesn't even have to do with tolerance. Now the problem is the way you determine if some one can operate a vehicle... If you can pass a field sobriety test then that should be the end of any questioning....but rarely is it. The sobriety test should focus on your ability to operate a car...and they have a good method in place already. I don't see the need to go anywhere near blood testing. If you fail the sobriety test, breath test away, if refused it's an automatic fail and you go to jail. I dont know if you guys know this but a blood test is extremely expensive, your looking at over $1k for one test. This country is really set on the whole drug war money pit that's been in place for so long. I'm more for cops actually making sure people are OK to drive then wasting money on what exactly there "on". If you can't drive safely then you should be fined/locked up/license revoked/ what ever! but to waste moeny just trying to figure out what exactly there on seems pretty redundant, you know they can't drive, cite them, arrest them, move on.

Help Me decide
i have plenty of blue loctite from my r/c hobbies(the big bottle) so i'll probably apply some when i get my hands on her. I may replace the sights somewhere down the road for the trueglow ones, or unless someone knows of better ones that i can just throw on. Edit: picked her up, what a beauty! need to buy ammo! thanks everyone for the advice, you guys didn't make it easy

Help Me decide
I'll have to look into that mag loader, looks like a great idea for sure! I was looking into the strip kit for the rugers, seemed pretty strait forward, but im gonna wait until i pick it up on monday strip it down and see if i have any real issues getting it back together. Most the videos i've seen make it look pretty easy, but we'll see. Man i can't wait for spring time, i really need to join cherry ridge now, i've accumulated 3 firearms since august and i still want more! Now that my permits ran out i need to stock up on .22lr and 5.56 rounds. got plenty of 9mm.

Help Me decide
Well i pulled the trigger on the Ruger! Pun intended! When my friends P2p's come in im going to nudge him to get a buck mark. While i enjoy the finer details of mostly everything, he's just wants something that shoots good and is easy to maintain. My decision was based off that i could live with buying either pistol, but if i got the buck mark, i would just keep thinking damn that was a nice ruger.

Bullet Hole - 12/31/10 - 10am - NYEve!
I don't think i've ever found parking there.... i always park down by the tracks...i wonder what the legality of walking with the guns to the shop is... kinda feels like a sketchy area too. You can def. find parking with in reasonable walking distance...i'm talking like half a city block. My biggest issue there is trying to get stuff in and out with the general public not knowing, carrying a rifle case could be sketchy..It's a semi rough area and u dont want people jumping you on your way back to your car.

NRA Explains Changes To Police Carry Law
Obama...what a joke. He'll let the LEO's keep there guns after retirement but no one else can have them. Other then being a retired LEO, what right do they have over anyone else to carry in a state like NJ? This is just too one sided...i see nothing more coming from this, and it will not progress any 2a rights movements as long as obama is signing the end line. To me this is designed to give more power to the government thats it.

Man Arrested at Miami Airport After Bullet Parts Found in Bag
i could see overlooking the weight of 700 22lr rounds, other then that it's about 20lb's of 9mm. Either way he knew what was in there unless a) hes senile or B) someone else packed the suitcase But it was primers....not ammo. Ammunition supplies not ammo.. I really hate the media. I'd like to know how these were set off, poor packing i can understand but it takes a significant amount of force to set them off.. The r/c community just recently ran into hazmant issue shipping batteries. LIPO batteries, associated with electronics, such as r/c's and laptops, have a cell limit now, i believe u can only ship 3s (3 cell) batteries via air. They were having issues with them catching fire in mid flight. Again, lipo batteries are very safe when sitting idle, the only danger they pose is when in use and most notably when being misused(over discharged). The issue they didn't want to admit was they were being poorly transported and mishandled, instead of improving there shipping methods they banned them. So now, they have twice the amount of smaller batteries being transported and no large ones. they basically changed nothing and made the end user suffer. These batteries made it to the plane with no issue, yet they were shorting out once packed on the plane. We all know a short is a short, it happens when it happens, if there being shorted out on the plane then it was the packing/handling that shorted them out. These batteries are also packed in bubble wrap contained in individual cartons, it would take a lot of force/mishandling to really crush one and set off a short. It's the same with every other shipping company, they are more concerned with the bottom line then doing things right. These airlines are merely people shippers, and they will ship you and your stuff no differently then ups will ship a package,they take your money, they will chuck your packages/luggage to save time, cram you in like sardines and pretend to listen to you if you have a problem.

How long does the State take to get back the background check
State police are quick with Background checks, less then 5 days. The rest is up to the PD. A friend called up the NJSP and they said they couldn't give out any info regarding his check, but they did state firmly that most checks are sent out withing 3 days of request. The rest is up to the PD including reference checks, mental health check and so on.
