It says right on your bill (ticket, I know, but more of a bill) that you will not receive any points. My sister lives in MD (car registered up north) and when I was home for the holidays had a couple of tickets waiting for her up there (as well as my mom too). Yep, all going mid 60's in an apparent posted 55. What a joke. I told her to just mail them a picture of money, as they just mailed her a picture of her car and claim she was speeding. Not to mention the certifying officer's signature wasn't there (a misaligned photocopy that wasn't in the right spot). I kind of wonder how this is even legal???

Maybe it helps you compensate for other things too...

As has been said... Legally? No. Would anyone ever know? Not unless you did something illegal while you had it. Even if you are a NJ resident, you don't need a FPID or PP to possess a firearm. So yep, this is mine... BTW, I have never taken my roommates firearms to the range when they weren't present before.

Well if it is legal in NJ then it should be legal in PA considering how restrictive NJ is to begin with. But to answer your question based on no specific states, you must look at state laws. It is up to you to ensure your firearm is legal where you bring it. It is really no different then making sure your firearm is legal where you live. What I was referring to earlier was when passing through a state. If you are going to a state directly, check that states laws. If it is legal there, then you are good. So here is what you do in your situation. Make sure your handgun is unloaded. Put it in your cars trunk. Lock the trunk or Put it in a locked case (closed and fastened case, gunbox, securely tied package) in someplace other than your glovebox, and separate from your ammo. Drive to said range, only stopping for fuel/food as necessary. Once at range follow the range rules and have fun shooting. If you have a PA carry permit or another permit with reciprocity you could technically stop in PA, and load and carry your firearm and carry it on you on your way to the range in your car. These are the only states PA will recognize. Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Michigan, Missouri, Montana, New Hampshire, North Carolina, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia, West Virginia, Wyoming

Well, I wouldn't call it cheap, I just meant cheaper than a lot of 5.56, and only marginally more then steel cased stuff (not that there is anything wrong with steel cased). Is there any center fire round that is cheap these days?

Way too much soda gets drank at my house, so I use the food coloring to fill up the bottles and make them pretty colors and shoot them. I guess since I do it at home I really have no reason to keep it in my range bag, but at least this way I always know where it is!

This is false. Illegal in NY or not, if it is legal where you started, and legal where you are going, then it is legal to go through any of the lower 48 states on your way, provided you are not deviating from where you are going and following the proper transportation laws. It is my understanding that you could even spend the night in NY if you were too tired to continue driving.

Well as long as it is not illegal, do any of us care if it is AP or not? I have 1000 rounds of M855, as it was cheap and not steel cased. It also looks pretty cool. As long as it shoots good! As long as the Zombies don't come in body armor, I'm thinking I'll be ok.

I have ordered from CTD for the very reason you stated. I was ordering a bunch of different types of ammo, and CTD was the only place that had a most of what I was looking for, so it worked out to be about a wash as opposed to ordering from 3 different sites or so. But if you are just getting say, a bunch of 5.56, or something, you might think saving a dollar a box on 50 boxes seems good, but the shipping ends up more than covering that, in the end your lucky if you save anything. If you keep your eye out (gun-deals.com) you can almost always find better deals. I have not seen an issue with stuff showing in stock that is actually back ordered on either CTD or Optics Planet. In fact, I have seen something in stock one day, thought about getting it, and it was then showing back ordered days later. Seems like things are kept up to date. For gun related stuff, Optics Planet has been the place online I have ordered from more than any place besides maybe, Midway USA. (not counting ammo) For ammo, I browse gun-deals.com/ammo and look for the best prices, add them to cart, calculate shipping, then compare overall cost.

Well, I have in mine, Spotting Scope Paper targets Duct Tape Tacs Staples/Stapler Food dye Gloves Hat String Pen/notebook/ammo log Shooting glasses Earplugs and ear protectors Things I throw in there depending on what I'm doing/shooting that day- Ammo Magazines Shooting bags Lubrication and a few quick cleaning supplies Holsters There is always something I wish I had but can never remember later, and always things I don't use but usually think I might. I feel like I'm so organized when I leave, but 3 minutes after I get there everything is a mess anyways.

As I was not able to be around for Christmas, I only recently had my family Christmas. To spare telling the boring stuff I got (and gave), my parents bought be the lower for the AR-15 I am going to build, a gorgeous Pelican 1720 case for it, as well as 3 PMAGS. Way to go mom and dad! For my mother being petrified of guns, I'm impressed! Since I usually don't buy myself much, I splurged this year and bough everything else I needed to build the AR. Spike's Tactical 16" Midlength upper, Eotech sight, LPK, buttstock, and BUIS (actually just back-up sight, it is not actually metal...)

What type of clips were you shooting at and if it was your best one why would you want to shoot it? Paper clip? Money clip? Hair clip? Sounds like you wasted a perfectly good clip of sorts by filling it with bullet holes.

I have found their prices to be comparable or better than almost any place also, but their shipping is NOT reasonable. With only few exceptions, I found buying for slightly more at other sites I was saving more overall with the shipping. Buying just one thing or a bunch of things didn't matter as the more you buy, the higher the shipping is. And usually the shipping prices aren't even close.

I don't think so. I read it more as So it has to be unloaded, AND the first part or second part. The unloaded refers to both second parts. So unloaded in the trunk, or unloaded in a closed and fastened case/box/package. As Kenw said, having an FPID or pistol purchase permit does not matter at all when transporting firearms in New Jersey. They are required for purchasing firearms IN New Jersey. I don't own a single firearm purchased in NJ, and therefore do not have a FPID.

I've ordered three times from OpticsPlanet. All 3 shipped within the next business day. The prices were cheaper than any place I could find on the internet, and shipping was free. I have never had a better online experience than with OpticsPlanet.

There is nothing wrong with either, and for those prices, I would have already bought it. Cheap prices on ammo is one of my favorite things.

On or off duty, on leave or not, if you are in the military you must still abide by the UCMJ. There is a difference between being an idiot and picking fights and defending yourself when attacked.

Yes, just as... Don't go telling everybody that you need to spend $1.75 a round of for "good" self defense 9mm ammo. In your own words, it just means more expensive. What 9mm self defense ammo is that expensive anyways? If you are spending more than about 50 cents a round for 9mm SD ammo I think you are crazy. For just shooting, I shoot the cheapest FMJ I can find. I buy in bulk online (no FID) and can usually find reasonable prices for brass case ammo.

I have a M&P 9c as my carry gun. As this is only my second handgun (the other is a full size 1911), I don't have much to compare it by. I do like it however. 500 rounds though it so far without a problem. For whatever reason, I shoot it better than my 1911.

Same here. Glad they rectified the mistake, and timely too.

Thanks for the replies guys! I know it is entirely subjective and based on your build, shooting style/stance, and preference. I just wanted to get an idea of how others shoot. I plan on playing around with it first before pinning it (while not in NJ) to get an idea of what I like. I was just looking for others input to help me along with my decision.

For those of you that have what was (and should be, damn you NJ!) an adjustable/collapsing stock that is now pinned, about where did you pin it in relation to the adjustable positions? For example, if yours could originally be adjusted to 5 positions, is yours pinned all the way collapsed, all the way extended, at the 3rd position, 4th, etc? I'm just trying to gage how long people like there stocks to be. I'm thinking of going shorter rather than longer, as I can always add extended butt-plates or spacers, or whatever you want to call them later, where you can't exactly shorten a fixed stock... Also what stocks do you use? Standard M4 style stocks, Magpul MOE/CTR, something else? (for those with pinned stocks that is) Thanks guys I know there are a lot of AR guys around. Hopefully I'll have one by this time next month... I know there are some nice fixed stocks out there, and I haven't yet ruled that out either.
