I went to Luxembourg and Trier on Black Friday. It isn't actually a thing there so no crazy mobs, but the Glühwein and waffles were nice.

Did you have red herring for Thanksgiving? Facts are also overrated. Next time you have some relevant, that is also maybe true, to add, go right ahead and feel free to post that. In the mean time, enjoy your Thanksgiving.

There shouldn't be any mandatory training requirement, but I am obviously not against training. What I would like, is there for to be free OPTIONAL training. Is this realistic? No, I'm not sure any state has the funding for this, but it would be cool nonetheless. I wish everyone has the opportunity to receive firearms training if they want it. But it should never be mandatory. The reason isn't because people wouldn't benefit from it, or even that there aren't people who actually need it and shouldn't be carry without training. It is because as soon as you start to add requirements for things, they end up going overboard, getting out of control, and once "reasonable" requirements skew towards unreasonable before you know it. Kind of like, you know, requiring an FPID to purchase firearms and ammunition, specific handgun permits, multiple forms just to get these, multiple additional illegal forms depending on your town because they think they are reasonable. Those type of things. If it starts somewhere, where does it end? It is better to just not start anywhere.

I find that any discussion of firepower is usually just an argument in semantics.

I remember reading about these people a while ago. As I recall, they are total whack jobs who have no business having and raising children.

A couple things. Is passive non compliance the same thing as resistance? Does being wrong and not complying mean that the use of pepper spray is right? I'm not asking rhetorically. I'd like to hear other peoples opinions. I'm not quite sure how I feel about the whole thing. "I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it." -Evelyn Beatrice Hall/Voltaire

No.

I understand that, and have no problem if you choose to do something in caution as long as you know that those actions are not a legal requirement. We are simply trying to inform on what is legal vs. illegal, and NOT what is legal vs. practical/reasonable/smart, etc. You are absolutely right and fine if you want to do more than you have to. I'm right there with you. I don't think that there is a whole lot of arguing going on. I think most agree with each other, they/we just might be arguing different things.

Those certainly combat sights. The rear sight dots/notch seems really far apart/big. Doesn't seem like it effected the accuracy of your shooting though!

A field strip is really that easy! IMO, the most difficult part is making sure the barrel link lines up with the slide stop, not that it is that difficult. I find that it is easier to not worry about the disassembly/assembly notch being lined up, just make sure the link is. The push the slide stop in, angled down so stop goes into the trigger guard instead of scratching up the frame (idiot mark, I've done that before). Then line up the notch, and pull the stop out slightly, move upward, and then push back in lined up. That way you don't have to get frustrated when you think everything is lined up, but the notch is just out of position, when you push down on the stop it may not go in all the way, and you could leave yourself an idiot mark on the frame, if any of that makes sense.

some people just find it easier and less annoying to read things in proper format yes this is a gun forum where we like to talk about shooting and firearms and whatnot.it has little to do with how you type and everything to do with being able to communicate efficively with people. there is a reason things like grammar spelling and punctuation were created...

If a zipper does not fasten things, or as you quoted yourself, secure against opening, then by golly, I need to get new luggage, a new backpack, heck, new clothes even. All these times I was using things that I could never actually close and fasten! Either that or zippers do comply, but you might know better. I wonder what knot is required for "securely tied". I never was very good with tying knots, is my lack of knot knowledge going to cause me to violate the law too?

Unless your computer is also 80 years-old, you can make everything you view on the screen bigger... Just sayin'. Also, yes...

Just saw this thread. I'll have to throw this one in the same category as the last few 'legal' threads. Something that only someone entirely paranoid of NJ laws might care about, something someone intending on doing something unrelated, but illegal, while in the possession of it might care about, but nothing anybody else cares about. The whole idea that it is illegal to buy a BB gun in PA as a NJ resident is pretty ridiculous. I really think that people who claim things like this, traveling out of state with a handgun, not being allowed to travel with loaded magazines, etc, are illegal, either haven't read the applicable laws, or are incapable of comprehending things. If not that then they have been brainwashed by anti-gun types.

You still have to follow that states/cities CC laws, so you could see something like NYC making crazy restriction on where it is legal to carry within the city. I think that was checker's point but I could be off base.

That is like mine, but yours is more complicated. I forwent the elbow joints and didn't bother connecting the two sides. It is less stable though, but there is always the option of doing something like filling it with sand or something. It also works better with uneven ground, but I like this concept. If only I knew what I did with it...

Having just got back from Japan and seeing how different the culture is there, I had almost forgot that the culture in America was close to equally as different 15 years ago. Such a crazy world.

It doesn't mention ultimate destination because as you have even said, it would have no jurisdiction outside of NJ. NJ laws are created to cover things in NJ, that is why it isn't mentioned. It is implied. Just like your house being an exempted location, it doesn't mention that your house must be in NJ either...because it is implied, you know, the law being NJ law and all. That is how we have got to that conclusion, if we were to assume that federal law doesn't apply. It actually isn't our argument, it is our conclusion based on your argument. I completely think you can travel out of state.

Did you know that it illegal to have a 30 round AR magazine in PA, because that is illegal in NJ? Did you know that you cannot transport your AR that has a collapsible stock and bayonet lug through NJ if you are from NH and going to Florida because it is illegal in NJ? Did you know you cannot transport you legally owned and possessed handgun from your house in NJ to PA because PA is not one of the exempted locations in the NJ statues where you can have a handgun? Did you know that Federal law does not apply in these cases but NJ law does? I know I already said that this thread was ridiculous, but the more I think about it, I think I underestimated the amount of absurdity. It is actually significantly more ridiculous that I had originally thought. It is like saying anything is illegal anywhere because NJ law doesn't say it is legal. How it can somehow apply but Federal law doesn't? Well I guess I haven't drank that koolaid yet.

Hopefully it will be an improvement. My biggest issue before was, that they had two handicap tables that they wouldn't let anybody use. Ever. So there were always two open tables with people waiting. Why not let people shoot there and just let them know, that if someone who legitimately requires that table, then you have to move and/or wait again? Thanks for the heads up!

The only way you can tell I have a mustache is if I grow it for a minimum of 4 months and then dye it black. If I don't dye it, you have to see it from close, at the right angle, with the light hitting it just right, because it comes in....well, close to clear. I'd do that again but I look like a complete jackass so it only happens when I'm deployed.

NJCK, you have terrible luck! Might I suggest you just keep your FPID with you at all times? It sounds like with your luck you might need it just trying to buy a NERF gun someplace just so they "can be safe" or something!

No, you are right, it is essentially the same thing. You are not missing anything. It is other people who are missing things, mainly the simple concept that NJ laws can only govern things in, you know, NJ. A tough concept to grasp apparently.

This thread is just as ridiculous as the last dozen threads on the same subject. If you are so afraid of NJ firearm laws that you actually believe they restrict you from ever leaving the state with your firearms, then there isn't anything to say. If you are also so afraid you think there is a strong possibility you are going to be pulled over, and your car searched, then there is nothing to say. In the end, you will do what you want to do, and what you feel comfortable with doing. If you don't feel comfortable enough traveling with a firearm to a place outside of NJ because that isn't one of the NEW JERSEY exemptions, then that is your right. I on the other hand am no so paranoid to think that the state of NJ somehow can govern my rights outside of NJ. Because that is ridiculous and NJ state law only applies TO THE STATE OF NEW JERSEY! And it strikes again. I heard it was illegal to have a loaded magazine when you travel? All guns MUST be LOCKED and separate from ammunition at all times too right?
