Yeah guys...NY I definitely knew was a NO GO...but it was other states that were really questionable. Thing I don't understand is..."determining" if I am legally in the right to bring it to another state...ex; in this case PA. If I understand you guys correctly...I own my gun legally in NJ...PA for example, how do i actually determine it's "legal where I end up"? Federal law superseding state laws is what you guys are stating? And to go further...I'm talking about not only transporting(not really about "passing thru" a state), but going to a destination(range) and now...shooting the said gun. And BTW...sorry if I seem "overly" cautious but, it kills me that you can have no record lets say(for 44 years existence on this earth), try to go about doing everything exactly right...abide the laws to the best you can educate yourself on the subject, and still end up in a precarious situation. People do go off the deep end everyday, but...a guys who locks up his weapon, and ammo...situations aren't parallel, but...

Gotta say...I don't like the aluminum blazer ammo. And not for the problems you guys are seeing...for me accuracy. I've only ever shot the 10mm ammo, so I don't know if anyone else has ever experienced this... but check this out... I buy 2 boxes of blazer, get into the range, load it up into my Glock...I can't sight in and hit the side of a barn with this stuff(serious fliers...like I have never seen before). I scratch my head(fat one at that)...totally confused. Go back the next day....this time I by a box of blazers, and bring a box of Remington's... Cycle the Rem first...nice 1.5 groups at 10 yards...ok, I'm not crazy...then I load up the blazer's...SAME BS AS THE DAY BEFORE. I am now TOTALLY convinced my Glock(which does eat anything I cycle through it...no ftf/fte...nada) hates this ammo...

Wow...that's a great deal! I though I scored when I got 500rds for $79.(essentially $7.99 a box of 50 lets say). Congrats, that's sweet!!

Let me start of by apologizing now if this has been covered before(searched and found nada). I was wondering on the legality of my topic(minus ever trying to go into New York...I don't have a death wish!! LOL!). I want to go to a range in Pennsy. I called them, they say it's absolutely legal...but I have to wonder...would they "really know"? We are talking handgun here... Does anyone know the deal? Has anyone done this?

Hey Bonesinium, where did you find the "cheap" m855...or cheap 5.56 period, for that matter?

+1 on these guys. I stopped in there last week to get some ammo. I can't resist a sale on ammo. Spent some time talking to the "younger" guy. Really nice. Can't everyone be this cool? Great experience, definitely will be doing business there again.

Didn't say I was looking to purchase it...I have plenty FMJ to shoot at the range. I came across a video...I started to research the ammo...I asked questions. I asked to communicate...learn... I learned from all of you. Now, if I were to come across some that happened to be cheap, prior to me purchasing it...I wanted to know the facts. If it's cheap, and quality ammo, why not purchase it?

Wow...thanks for clearing that up...good to know. I don't have an affinity towards any M855 yet... Just came across a video on youtube that was rather impressive. Made me inquisitive. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5dGxRw8Jq70

Hmmmm..."intercooler" thought AP was not legal at all here in Jersey....rifle or handgun. Don't believe this ammo is AP...but had to ask you more knowledgeable folks.

For all of you Legal Eagles...what's the verdict on this ammo: http://www.cheaperthandirt.com/53427-1.html everywhere I look says it's legal...but of course, paranoia leads me to ask. Thanks guys.

Have you guys seen this... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xn795eAJDPs

Thx ronhonda, I will take your advice...I have been reading about the Dawson tool-less guide rod...I am most likely going to make that upgrade. As far as the recoil master...what would you recommend?

Thx Ray Ray...been a little hick-up with my FFL and Dealer getting the pistol to me...patience...gotta have patience. I did a lot of back and forth in my decision...hopefully it's a good one. I will try to make it to one of the BH get togethers and if you like...you can take it for a spin. BTW...Don't forget the "Bull Barrel"!!

Just bought this yesterday... should be here tomorrow... can't get the attachments to work...hmmm pic of the same gun here: http://www.oakhillenterprises.com/ItemDetails/789982493/STI_Tactical_5_0_45_acp_Heinie_NE.htm and same damn price...killing me, but had to have it. And for you purists...I know... it's a 2011...lol

Worked for me...pretty fast shipping too...came in Thursday...

Pretty good savings...just bought some ammo and it covered the shipping...works for me. Ends 12/7.

Damn....I ordered too...I'm trying to figure out if I like this forum...or if hate it!! LOL!! I already have 2k rounds of 9mm range ammo...But I couldn't resist....thanks imperialfish!!

Gotta say...The guys at Meltzer's...real cool. Helpful, knowledgeable, answered questions, offered advice, gave options...all the while...never asking if I was purchasing, or pressured. Nice bunch...I was only there picking up some ammo and cleaning supplies.

Exactly who decided it is ok for you to face a civil suit for protecting your own life, and possibly that of your family's...I find it so hard to believe that in a just situation....ex; minding your on business, in your home, altercation arises(ex; abreak in....)...a jury could actually have the nerve to even entertain a settlement... am I talking jibberish?

e80hydro...my thoughts exactly...that's why I made the mind reading comment. I thought it was interesting in that, this must come up like crazy in stores all over jersey, when people are looking to purchase ammo. I also find it interesting how, the type of weapon is completely black and white, as per the laws in jersey...Yet ammo is left so ambiguous. You would think they'd blur the lines just a bit less...

That's what I thought... I do keep both Hornady Critical Defense, and Federal EFMJ, in my home. I have tested both and feel the Federal shoots better in my Glock 19...I get much tighter groupings. I only started this thread because he said the day prior...a prosecutor from Essex County had been in the store...was posed the question...and that was his answer... Totally confusing...

I was in my local Sporting Goods store yesterday...and a question comes up from another customer...what really is legal in home protection ammo? If you can legally buy HP bullets the the State of New Jersey...transport them...and shoot them at your range...why in the world is it not really legal in a home invasion situation? The dealer said "it's not legal in NJ unless the criminal is firing HP bullets"...Now, I'm not exactly sure this is correct...nor am I qualified in the art of determining whether a gun has HP ammo loaded...is anyone into the art of mind reading? Is this really the case? Seems a bit ridiculous. Not what the dealer was saying...yet, if this is really true. I would hope one of our members here...LEO, or lawyer, could answer and explain this to me and others here. Please excuse me if this has been discussed here before. I find it incredible that a law abiding person is confronted in his home, and can not take means to protect himself and his family while at the same time... thinking of the safety of others around him/her. I hope to NEVER be in that situation, but you do need to be responsible and obey the law...even if you don't agree with it. Also...why would HP ammo be illegal in a protection situation your home...seems to me that the benefits of not causing as much collateral damage(ie; going through a wall, and God forbid...injuring an innocent neighbor...etc.) would be applauded. FMJ in this situation seems ridiculous. The dealer did say that Corbon PowRball is legal...is this a fact? If so, seems the way to go for protection...and safety. Hopefully this wasn't too long winded!

So...If this question may have been covered in a prior thread...forgive me...it's my first post. I applied for, and received my id card. Along with that came my permit for one pistol. Purchased a Glock 19 that I am totally happy with. Question is...when I go to my local PD and ask for my next permit, approx. how long am I going to wait before I receive it? I noticed a thread that said some of you get multiple permits at one time...Am I wrong in assume that you guys are doing this because each additional permit has a long wait period? I have my eye on a H&K m23...and would love to get it! Thanks in advance.
