I recommend you try and rent or find someone who will let you shoot some pistols you are interested in before you buy one. At the very least, handle them and maybe dry fire them a few times. You might find something you were interested in before to end up being something you don't really like. Better that happens before you buy! There are simply too many excellent pistols out there to give you a recommendation. The caliber debate is something else that will continue forever. I'd personally suggest you get something you are going to shoot and can afford to shoot...regularly. So if that means a 9mm over a .45ACP because of cost, I'd get the 9mm. But that is just me, and don't let it sway you if you have other reasons. That is just me.

Generalizing a country you have never been to and a culture you know nothing about. Good on ya.

Scary!

No, you said, "Its designed to hold 14 round of .22long rifle, but that means it will hold more than 15 rounds of .22 short". I, like you, are well aware of the previous model 60 that held more than 15 rounds that is indeed illegal. You were NOT talking about that, and decided to spread information that this model might be prohibited anyways. I originally had no attitude, and was making a polite request. But when I read hundreds of posts in the NJ law section of this forum of people spouting misinformation, usually without even bothering to look up the applicable statutes, it is frustrating. And this isn't one of those really debatable issues, or else NJ dealers wouldn't be selling Marlin 60's here.

I could probably jam more than 15 rounds of a different round into a number of magazines that hold 15 or less of the round they are designed for. That it no way makes them prohibited. Please stop spreading information that is flat out out incorrect and not substantiated in any capacity.

A Marlin...

18 hours on a commercial plane? Shoot me. I once had a 19.5 hour flight, but had a full size blow up mattress. Even with ambien I'm not sure I'd make 18 hours in a tiny seat.

Analyzing something made for a photo that was never intended to be real, or work...fail.

Unfortunately the feds still have power over them. Last year the Texas house passed a bill that would have potentially criminalized certain TSA searches. Just before it was scheduled to be voted on in the senate it was killed. Why? Speculation is because of a statement from the US Attorney's office that said that this bill violates federal law and they would have to cancel all flights where TSA is not allowed to do these (would be) illegal searches. Killing American citizens in violation of the constitution would be a good place to start.

I hate flying commercial. The seats are uncomfortable enough without anybody sitting next to you nevertheless having to sit next to someone (or two someones!) who are obese, dirty, sick, or any combination of those things! Too bad the North American airlines (spare a few) are poorly run and in order to even maintain operations have to cut costs and jam more people in aircraft with poorer service. It sucks for those of you that have to pay baggage fees too.

Love it! I can't ever really remember any crazy holiday family stories, maybe that is because the only people who gather together are the small group of people that we all like/get along with. Godspeed to all you out there with insane, dysfunctional, and crazy families!

That makes it illegal. It must be lawful or the state would not even be allowed to permit it. You canNOT permit an unlawful activity. Which is why I can't get a permit from the state to assault someone, or rape someone, or do any other unlawful activity.

Whatever the case it is still sad that a lawful activity can land you in jail.

"Why were you denied?" "My reference gave them an adverb instead of an adjective!" Haha!

That was a list of things BUDS won't sell to states, not what is illegal. You can own semi-autos in CT. In fact, CT law is very close to NJ law when it comes to semi-auto rifles IIRC.

Yep. Thanks to one of the forums favorite people, Eric Holder. Here he states quite blatantly to brainwash kids into thinking guns are bad. And by blatantly, I mean literally. "I've also asked the school board to make a part of every day an anti-gun message. Every day, every school at every level..and really brainwash people..."

I'm having difficulty understand how this is tactical. I'm having even more difficulty understanding how that is a wall.

It does highlight on a very important phenomenon that has been taking place recently. That is of the increase in theft of Chevy Volts, particularly for use as a get-a-way vehicle. I'd be very interested in hearing more about what happened with the Volt after they were arrested.

Treat it like child custody. Obama and Biden get weekdays. Romney and Ryan get weekends. Problem solved. I'm like a genius when it comes to these things.

I feel the need to comment here, not because either of these things effect me in any way, but because you seem to be forgetting a key point. When the government is in the student loan business, who else do you think controls those rates? Not all student loans are through private companies! So yes, when you are dealing with federal student loans from the government that is a point of contention that is entirely valid. Not to mention the artificial inflation of school costs/tuition that lead to the excessive number of student loans...but that is another issue. As for health care, I don't think he was saying people should be given free health care. I have a feeling I'm with you, on that the government should simply stay out of meddling with health care all together. As it stands now, Obamacare isn't close to 'free' health care....

I'm a big fan of criticizing people for not voting, because if you don't vote you can't complain is a valid position. We all know nobody under 18 is ever effected by politics and should not be allowed to complain. Nobody that lives in the US but isn't eligible to vote has the right to care, as they are never effected. And of course voting with a "lesser of two evils" mentality is far superior to educating yourself and voting on a candidate that you don't find evil. Better yet, what happens when you vote for the winner and it turns out they suck? Can you complain then? I mean you did vote...

You lost me. I didn't say it had nothing to do with equipment. That would be an equally as asinine claim.

Clearly it is NOT all about equipment. To make such a claim is simply asinine. So it is not all about equipment anymore? Who woulda thunk that.

When he returned home he found out the milk was spoiled and had to buy a fresh one at a near by store.

mipafox, The fact you feel that people shouldn't criticize someone for their actions solely because they are from a different state is fairly ridiculous, to say the least. I am surprised that even needed clarification.
