For now...... Until the AG or SP start sending letters to suppliers stating a "new interpretation" of the law. Is a new CMP like situation developing here? They don't need to pass new laws to screw us, they can do it administratively.

I got the gun through MGS in Texas, they demilled the mags. (cut in half) and sent two with the gun. 15 rounders were made with the remnants. They are shorter than the originals and not as cool as the drum mags but this is what we have to live with in the PRNJ, it beats going to jail.

Recall covers Federal as well as American Eagle http://www.federalpremium.com/pdf/45_Auto_warning.pdf

Well, there's a who's who of politicians that need to be thrown out of office. At least Corzine is gone. Weinberg, the woman who threw her hands up and walked out of a meeting, saying "I don't know anything about guns", when she was confronted by gun rights advocates over a .50 cal ban she was proposing.

Don't know if I swear by this show, but there are some vendors at it that I don't see at other shows. Not big on new guns, but OK for milsurp and collectible guns, some decent deals on ammo as well.

Actually it was an MAAC show until last Dec when Eagle took it over. Didn't go to the Dec show but heard it was much better now that it's an Eagle show, a lot of dealers wouldn't do MAAC shows. The Forks show is in Allentown on the same weekend and that may hurt this show some. I might go to both since I need to locate some obscure mags and I know there will be dealers at both that might have what I need.

Got to fondle, but not bring home (waiting on PP's), my new P7 today. It's a grade B and I hardly noticed any wear on the finish, if you look close enough there is minor wear on the sharp edges. Almost hard to rationalize spending the extra $200 for a grade A (if you can find one).

Best thing to do is always to talk to a lawyer. Your visits to a psychiatrist and psychologist could be considered "consultation" rather than treatment.

I thought duck tape was the universal fix it item, this guy couldn't even use that, he's got masking tape.

The concern I would have with "explainable lawful purpose" is that it is subjective, and NJ is not known for being reasonable when it comes to enforcing weapons laws. Unless there is another part of the law that specifically allows collecting, you could be charged with a felony, and even if you prevail it will cost you a lot of money. I would agree that this item is certainly collectible, but you know the average prosecutor and judge are less likely to be so open minded.

Any handgun you ever buy is still in your name, even if you sell it and send in the copy of the PP to the PD. The only thing they do when you sell a handgun is add another PP in the new buyers name, the old copy stays in your file forever.

You're correct that the odds are they won't know about it. The problem is if you have a fire or some other need for emergency services and your stuff gets discovered.

Why not? I have 10 coming any day now.

Well, judging by the one guys rap sheet, it looks like he has made a lot of bad decisions in life so far, why stop now? I don't think the MAK-90 is illegal in NJ, they will probably drop that charge, the mags are a different story - they're screwed. If the guy with the "assault weapon" is also a convicted felon he's got even bigger problems. Not familiar enough with the drug laws to know what the marijuana charge will bring but I'm sure gun + drugs = big problem.

I've been a life member for 20 years and they still send me stuff looking for money........ it doesn't end.

Eric, where is this doo doo you keep stepping in? I want to tread in your garden of manure too.

I just ordered a grade B from Top Gun, hasn't come in yet so I can't tell you what it looks like, but I'm glad to hear good reports about the grade B's. Top Gun told me they had some A's earlier and they sold out in one day, they were $700 I believe. CDNN did have some B's as well as A's but they're all sold out now.

Count on it

Went to the Westchester, NY show today. First time I was there,not a bad ride from North Jersey on a Sunday and not that big but decent amount of quality items to be had. Good show to go to if your looking for compliant semiautos (wasr's, AR's, PTR's, etc.) since NY has the same BS regs we do (on post sept. 1994 guns, so don't buy a preban and bring it back to NJ). The drawbacks were the tolls, parking fees and $12 admission was ridiculous. Definitely a different crowd at that show compared to PA shows.

I've shot a lot of Romy out of my PPsh-41 and it worked perfectly. I guess there are no sizing issues with the Burp guns.

SOG has 2520 rounds of polish for $210.60 plus shipping. I tried to figure out the shipping on their website but it wouldn't give me the info. From past experience it would probably run about $30 for the two tins.

I probably order 12 guns from them last year. This year it will be zero because I don't know what they have. I explained to them the fact that almost no dealers in NJ are buying milsurp guns for stock and we don't have gun shows here, so the only way we can buy from them is off their website and have them sent to an FFL. They told me if my FFL allowed, I could put his number on my account so I could look at what they have (guns still get shipped to the FFL). He sent permission 3 times and they still didn't set it up.

What's also mean is SOG let us non FFL's look at what guns are on their website anymore.

I wouldn't get too crazy with high end guns. You need to turn product over quickly, which you will have a tough time doing with high end guns, you will have a lot of capital tied up in product. Walmart tries to turn their entire store over every 30 days, you will never be able to do this since you won't have the traffic they get, but you get the idea, moving product is how you make money in retail. You will need to be well stocked for people to take you seriously, and this is a learning curve as to what people are looking for. Make sure you are open when you say you will be, people will not come back if they made a trip to your store and you're closed when you said you would be open. You also better have patience in dealing with the public, you will be asked questions constantly by people who don't know anything about what your selling or get angry because your price is not 75% below cost, you will still need to treat these people with respect since bad PR travels much farther and faster than good PR.

Ted, I'm already waiting by their door for UPS to arrive.
