Some cops don't give a crap what you have or who you know and are on total power trips. My uncle got a ticket once for crossing lanes at a bad spot before the Lincoln tunnel and he told the guy, my nephew is a lieutenant gave badge number and everything. He said I dont care and gave him the ticket, my uncle called my cousin he sent one of his guys in a squad car to talk to the guy out of the ticket he said no. They went to his superior and the superior even said the guys a a** and basically made him get rid of the ticket. Being nice admitting your wrong doing if you did something wrong and apologizing will get you farther then any sort of card sticker or plastic window badge.

LOL I laughed in my chair for a few mins, good times!

I am unsure if Cabelas has this one but this is the one I bought from amazon and its amazing in my book. Comes with a weight to insure its calibrated and never had any issues with it. Scale

I got some questions about optics for my Sig 229 and just pistols in general,first does anyone here use red dot/holographic sight on their pistols, has it helped them acquire targets better or done anything else for them. Secondly any suggestions I know Ncstar, AIM tactical, UAG tactical and some other brands make some sights that are from 30 dollars to about 60 dollars, then there is companies like C-more systems where a sight that looks similar but is 300 dollars. Whats the difference here I am guessing the glass is better but I dont understand sights beyond that and would like some help in what to look for or if for pistols the cheaper sights are fine. Now aside from the sights I was looking on sig's site and they have this top rail mount Sig Mount and not bad only about 40 dollars but sig wants 12 dollars shipping is there any other websites that carry these and it might be cheaper, if it comes down to it Ill spend the 12 dollars but I just want to make sure its the best or only place to get it.Is there another mount that would fit the sig that is as sturdy I have seen some on amazon that seem kinda flimsy and are about 13 dollars and only are connected on one side. I am open to any suggestions or if I left out any info that needed let me know thanks in advance for anyone that can help.

I agree with the rechargable 123's they save you a ton of money in the long run especially if your using the light on a regular basis make sure to find the ones that are Lipo based so even when you dont use the battery the charge doesn't drop over time.

I have a PX4 its an amazing gun and very accurate however cant compare it to a all metal frame like the 92fs. The feel of a polymer and a all metal are just different. Another suggestion since your considering the cz75, I recently got the baby eagle II which is the relaunch of the baby eagle they stopped selling few years back or also known as the Jericho. I got mine in .45acp its all steel, holds 10 rounds, nice and heavy but not uncomfortable and a freaking blast to shoot.I consider it more accurate then my px4 and definitely competes with my Sig 229 and the price is good. I bought mine from Shore Shot for around $560 It can definitely be found for less if you shop around. In 9mm I am sure its even more pleasant to shoot cause you have the weight of the gun working against the recoil of the round.

Anti Material rifles are meant to be used against military equipment not combatants which are anti personnel rifles. These rifles are meant to shoot through military vehicle engines, destroy communications equipment, sensory equipment and other weapon systems. Its a faster, cheaper, safer (and probably all in that order) way to take out an enemies ability to function. Some of the rounds are multi layered and peel away as they go through armor and whatever they may have to pierce and that's part of the reason they are so big. Completely awesome and devastating non the less.

He self sponsored himself into the academy that is a great way to go if you have to money since academy out of pocket is about 7k. It does gives you an advantage over others because the department saves money and can put you to work right away. It was done away with in NJ for the most part indefinitely, I assume because the PD's weren't able to get the people they contracted into the academy because classes filled up. I am looking into PA academies to see if they offer such things but doesnt look too good right now.

I am not a LEO but have been attempting to get into the field, Most agencies just care about having credits in general, Some specify wanting a BA in criminal justice. Now if your talking local law enforcement you just need a high school diploma or GED. New Jersey LEO positions have pretty much been saturated due to lay offs and whatever people could be hired they picked up layoffs or people in line from previous testing year. If your looking to just get your foot in the door as a LEO you need to try for a city like Trenton, Newark, NYC, maybe even Philadelphia. Pay is crappy to start and jobs harder but right now its only sure way to get a sure job and then you can transfer after you have some time in. Example is NYPD they are looking for around 1300 cops this year and most likely wont fill it,if your really looking to do local you might as well wait it out by going for criminal justice degree it will definitely help if your looking to go to say FBI OR CIA and such they will take the guy with a CJ degree over marketing.

It was a 9mm pistol that can only shoot blanks I don't remember but the barrel has something in it to prevent a projectile from being fired. Usually used in movies and such, I don't understand what this guy was thinking unless he just likes loud bangs. I am like 2 miles from that development and we just got a call from the Jackson PD about house robberies all around this area the robbers started with going into houses with no cars in the driveways but are now doing forced entries. This towns getting out of hand.

Px4 was my first gun as well its definitely good times, just remember if you go to SS tell them your a NJGF member and you get a discount on range fee. This is my opinion and others may disagree, I don't feel pistol classes are necessarily needed as far as basic shooting goes.Of course safety is most important and if you never really shot before and or feel that you dont understand or dont know the rules of safety with operating a gun then a course may be for you. When I started before I bought my px4 I rented a few guns and also got a little 10 minute course from the range about proper grip and basic safety. Such as never point a gun in anyone's direction, always assume a guns loaded, always check gun when you finish shooting to make sure gun is empty, always check a gun someone hands you to make sure it is empty. Depending on when you go to shoot, if you want someone to meet up with you to show you some basics let me know and Ill see if I can make it out im sure some other guys on here will offer you the same help.

I apologize I wasn't trying to quote the law and I should have said it in my post. It was more of me explaining how I think the laws can leave so much room for a lot of injustice and also how to protect yourself legally by the law is quite restricting. Informing them you have a gun would be more beneficial to you legally if you did shoot the person and they survived.It also has the ability to avoid conflict completely which is kind of what the purpose of laws are in general. In a small percentage it could however increase the level of conflict that intruder may feel they have to shoot first because they know your armed.

I have to agree, this is really a good read only got about half way done but definitely opened my eyes to things I didn't consider before.At same time it reinforced some things I believed in as far as survival but wasn't sure.

This thread is good. Back to the topic I open carry all the time on my own property even to just put out garbage and get mail. Why you ask because only a few miles from where I live there is a big concentration of gangs and gang activity and many of my neighbors in my development have been robbed and the police force here has been cut back by 30% due to budget cuts. My neighbors used to look at me weird but now with how things have changed its welcomed. The PD has seen a increase of almost 300% in application for FID'S and PP's I was told by a lieutenant and he welcomes it as well cause they know they cant be everywhere. The only issue I see with the original post is why was the gun empty.

The issues with home defense in nj is you have to inform the assailant you are armed when THEY break in, you can not pursue them if at any point they retreat. At any point if you feel you have the upper hand or it can be proven you can no longer use deadly force. So I look at it this way, if a perp can get into your house and beat or kill someone before you get to them with your gun and they are fleeing you cant do anything legally. Not to mention your suppose to yell you have a gun on top of that.

I buy ammo from dick's in freehold sometimes when there is a decent sale or theres something i need asap and cant order it in time. I have never been escorted to registers with ammo they give it to me in the locked alarm box. They only require it for handgun bullets in fear of people pocketing the rounds,shotgun shells whenever I bought them they just gave me the boxes no record of what I bought or any lock box. Now as far as some stores doing away with ammo and guns, I know the store in brick the hunting section is really tiny I could see that going away, just cause they don't have to room to stock what people may want or need. The lock cart that the freehold store puts just the .22 rounds in is the size of the whole ammo cabinet in brick. The thing is needing to know are they doing away with it because of logistical issues/someone in corporate being a idiot or are they doing away with it because jersey is making it hard for them to do business.

Like others have voiced I would shoot with the 226 due to ammo cost mainly and also ammo availability , but also it might take longer to tame a 357sig over a 9mm in my opinion.

That is crazy

Isn't that the glory of shooting a shotgun at a indoor range, everyone looking around wondering where the "explosion" came from? I used to shoot my shotguns at SS they require buckshot or slug to shoot there,but then I joined CJ.

Shotgun goes behind the bedroom door and the Baby Eagle in .45 takes the night stand.

The stock is by advanced technologies I got it on amazon for 50+ dollars I believe the stock would just go over the ghost sight and you could still use those. This stock is not as comfortable as a regular stock but its very functional and will give the stability needed its comfort level isn't bad with 2 3/4 shells I would not want to shoot this with 3's for sure.

I have both the maverick 88 and the 887 nitro mag, the finish of the Remington is better, the maverick is a little rough on its finish. That is just a given though its a budget shotgun, it still is a very good shotgun and if someone wants a home defense shotgun its where it is at because of how custom you can make it and its quite reliable. The 887 I consider a very nice range gun its a pleasure to shoot even the magnum rounds aslong as you get a slip on limbsaver for it. The 887 has alot of standard tactical features and it has a better round capacity then the maverick and can also handle 3 1/2 inch shells but your looking at around $200 dollars for maverick verse almost $500 for the nitro mag tact. Here are pictures of my shotguns.

I have a canon 40D and few lenses and can basically shoot just about anything, I have done random nature shoots to taking pictures of antiques to go to auction. You can pick up a new old stock or lightly used 40d with some lenses for around $500 they have the newer models which are better some do video but will cost well over 1k for just the body. Here is some random photos Ive done, this camera makes a bottle of mouth wash look special(I did this as a joke).

That they are going to build a sweet AR cheap and I will buy it...

Longest I waited for a handgun was a week. Unless your getting something special or your told before hand there is a long wait, you shouldn't wait longer then a week for just about any gun.
