The compromise was to build a separate pistol range next to the existing one to handle the competitions.......... well, it looks like that is now never going to happen.

You're worrying too much, the gun is legal.

A lot of FFLs don't want to ship to CA because the CA DOJ requires them to fill out some kind of CA paperwork to send any firearms there. This is not required in the other 49 states AFAIK.

If I were you, I would grab a large centerfire rifle (preferably .308 or bigger) the next time you need to be ready for a potential bear break in. You're not hunting when a bear breaks down your door, you're defending yourself, so F&G rules don't apply. Bears have very thick skin and a thick layer of fat that is hard to penetrate. When I took the F&G bear course, the instructors suggested using Sabot slugs because they penetrate better, they said the instances where hunters had to shoot bears 5, 8 or 12 times usually involved people using rifled slugs. Most states that allow bear hunting do not allow shotguns for bear hunting, centerfire rifles only, but NJ just will not have any logic to they're hunting regs either. I wouldn't bother with a handgun either unless it's a .460 S&W or .500 S&W, you might have a chance with a .357 mag, .41 mag or .44 mag but you will probably need to empty them on the bear if it's a big one, anything else is probably only going to piss it off.

You can always go for exemptions, it's cheaper and faster in the long run.

Man, is that tempting......... must resist the urge..........

A COE also provides ready proof for a seller (especially in private sales) that the transfer was done legally. Imagine this scenario: I buy a shotgun from ABC gun shop, I decide to sell it to you FTF, you decide to rob a bank with it and get caught in the process. The cops ask you where you got the shotgun, you will tell them from me. If I don't have a COE for the transfer and didn't verify you have an FID, I will have a problem. If I do have a COE and checked your credentials, I should come out of the transaction without a problem.

My understanding is that, no person has ever been prosecuted for violating the AC. The state uses the AC to control what FFL's can and can't sell or what procedures they must follow. If an FFL does something that violates the AC, the state will use that to pull their state dealers license, but would not likely end up charging the dealer with a crime (think SARCO). Some examples: 2C says mags must be blocked to 15 rounds or less, but does not specify how they must be blocked. When the AWB went into effect, the then AG said a piece of wood in the mag was enough to block a mag (even if it could easily be removed), Corzine's AG decided (arbitrarily) that the law required the mags to be "permanently" blocked. If you own a mag that is blocked with a piece of wood, it would be difficult for a prosecutor to get conviction for illegal mag possession because it is indeed blocked as required under the law (2C), what the AC says is irrelevant in a court of law, a prosecutor would have to convince a judge that the law (under 2C) requires the mag to be permanently blocked, which isn't written into the law, a difficult sell. Dealers are required under the AC to record handgun ammo sales in a book, this is not written into the law (under 2C). But, if a dealer doesn't do it, the will get their license yanked.

^^^^^^THIS^^^^^^ I can see it now, a prosecutor will tell you that he can charge you criminally, or you can pay a $5000 fine and not have a criminal record. Sounds like legalized extortion to me.

Title 13 is the Administrative Code not the law (statute). The actual law is found under 2C. The AC (title 13) is basically the AG's interpretation of the law, ultimately it's up to a judge to decide what the law really says.......

I remember dealers complaining about new gun sales being tight margin 20 years ago before the internet sales began, I think 5-10% markup has been going on for a long time.

I agree, NJ needs a good lawsuit to staighten this out, preferably ending with a federal judge striking this crap down.

Agreed

A free handgun......... it just doesn't get any better than that.

Good people at Kingshooters Supply.

The hunting minimum distance rules only apply while hunting, there are no state laws that regulate target shooting in your backyard that I'm aware of (outside of common sense safety measures). Still need to check if the town has any discharge regulations.

These are two different guns that share a similar name. The AR180B does not have any evil features (aside from a pistol grip), but more importantly, the internals of it are closer to an AR15 and it uses AR15 mags. Armalite basicly took the better features from the AR180 and combined them with the better features of the AR15 (but it was nutered because the federal AWB was in effect at the time). You could not say this is a clone of either rifle, rather it's an amalgamation of the two.

Where do I get one of those?

Amazingly , I would have to say I agree with you on this. Your safety is more important than the risk of a gun beng stolen from you. Whatever can be locked up, should be, otherwise hide them in the most accessible least likely to be discovered spot you can find.

A lot of people in Alaska and other remote areas with a lot of brown bears carry .460 S&W, .500 S&W and .454 Casull revolvers for protection. As other have said, they are a good choice for hunting as well.

Speaking of rare guns located in NJ, I know a guy that owns a gas trap Garand (yes, it's original and I've seen it with my own eyes). I'm not going to say anything more about it either.

In many villages in Germany they have a shooting clubs with an indoor range, many are airgun or up to .22 only, some are big bore handgun capable, all have a bar. The Germans drink beer with everthing (well almost) they do, including shooting. These bars do also serve liquor.

I didn't know they had a range at one time. To say that place is off the beaten path is an understatement, it's in the middle of nowhere.

The only law in NJ that I'm aware of is that any LOADED firearm must be kept out of "easy access" of a minor. I believe anything else is legal.
