I've figured about 4500 based on the 9000ish rounds I have shot, thinking it was in the past 2 years. It actually has only been about 15 months. Turns out that averages more like 7200 rounds. I guess my vote was wrong.

Where are you pulling this information from if I might ask?

Out of curiosity, as I have asked this before without reply, other than saying "a place of business shall be deemed to be a fixed location." is 'place of business' defined? I see everyone is saying that you must be the business owner, and while am I not saying this is wrong, I am wondering where it states that. Some other statue unrelated to firearms specifically maybe? NJ statues aren't always in a practical order.

Anyone?

Again though, you are assuming. I have seen people who are "qualified" to handle and carry firearms who are as mature as a 6 year old, shoot as poorly as a blind monkey, and have no sense of safe handling. In fact, it is very easy for people who handle firearms on a daily basis or who train with firearms, to become complacent, or to think that they are somehow superior and that things don't apply to them. I'd imagine if someone is going to be carrying a firearm in New Jersey, and does so publicly, that they are either very ignorant, or are doing so legally...

Must be a store specific policy then, because I've bought .308 and .223 at Dicks in NJ a number of times and have never been asked for an ID, FPID, or otherwise. Whether they "log" it or not I don't remember. They did however put it in some plastic case thingy, but I assumed that was because they didn't want the ammo "walking out" of the store without being payed for, as the sporting goods section is in the back corner, and cashiers are in the front.

How do you know he wasn't an LEO or have a CCW? Because he looked young? My former roommate at not much older than 21 worked for the NJ Department of Corrections, and can carry. Of course you aren't thinking a young 20 something with a beard could carry in NJ, but they are certainly out there.

Is 'place of business' defined in the statues? I'm sure it is but other than saying "shall be deemed a fixed location" I can't find it.

I assume when you say "by the way he conducted himself" you are implying his gun handling skills were not very good. If that is the case, then this being NJ, he probably is more likely to have a CCW permit then someone who knows what they are doing!

Buying online does not have the same restrictions as buying in NJ. Some online retailers require an FPID for those purchases (handgun ammo, including .22lr), some (like Cabelas) do not require one at all. The Dick's in Burlington required one for pistol calibers, .22lr, and I assume .410. It does not for any centerfire rifle rounds that I know of.

Don't waste your time with a "hot wire foam cutter". I had one I would have gave you, but I threw it away. If you want to make a single, straight cut, it works great. If you want to make any sort of curved cut, or an interior cut, like you would for cutting the outline of a rifle, it is complete garbage. I don't know, maybe you just have to have a ton of patience, but I certainly didn't have enough. Biggest PITA ever. I would suggest anything else, like the suggestions others have listed, or as you mentioned, build your own working foam cutter.

Peace and Maker.

You can only use one though... So either 20 dollars off or close to 20 dollars shipping. Not a real bargain there.

As they are both excellent firearms, it comes down to what you prefer. If you prefer the M&P, then go for it. Personally, I own a M&P, and I like it. The one time I shot a USP 40, while I didn't dislike it, I wasn't overly impressed with it. Again though, it is personal preference. As the USP is generally a more expensive pistol, there is potential that you could sell it and get the M&P which you like better, and come out in the green also.

I always thought they were supposed to hurt a little...

I can think of no less than 3 reasons...

Just an alarm clock surrounded by thumb tacks. They are there to remind me I better be on point with my snooze button hit.

No need to netflix it. Just watch it on Hulu. The full movie is available for free.

Well that certainly changes the meaning a bit!

Yep! I like where this is going... I don't smoke but can't argue here. What?!? Come on now. I would say this would hold true for those that you know, don't have money yet. If by 'no one' you mean 'not many people', then I agree. But there actually are people who alienate young folks, just as their are people who alienate old farts, I mean folks, also. These few are this Generation 1.0. They are what I like to call, members of the 'good ole boys club'. They are not exclusive to firearms and shooting. You see them in businesses, politics, the military, clubs, you name it. They do exist though. Some certainly aren't, and that is too bad. Some are though. Some would like to be but simply don't have the resources, money, or time to be.

Just some Yuengling right now. Well, that and I decided to open the bottle of DonQ rum I was given by the kind folks who run the FPO in Puerto Rico. Got to love Caribbean rum! Heck, got to love the Caribbean! Almost forgot, mixing it with the best energy drink known to man. hiphopbev.com Pitbull 100% American, 100% Attitude. Says so right on the can. It doesn't lie. omegranate Blueberry Flavor Blueberry Pomegranate was selected by the US Military as procurement for the war fighters in Afghanistan. I can confirm. This is indeed where I fell in love with Pitbull. The approved and recommended energy drink for our warfighters! Hooah!

Unless you are actually attacking people with them, nobody is going to say anything. I'm assuming you are just asking for your information and not because you are actually paranoid about carrying something 'illegal'.

People are reading into things WAY TOO MUCH. But it is interesting nonetheless!

One of my favorite things to do; fly. One of my least favorite things to do; fly commercial.

This isn't exactly new news. All US operated bases in Iraq already had scheduled closing dates varying from September with the last of them the end of December. Was that not already released to the public?
