FYI, you can apply for all the pistol permits at the same time, u don't have to fill out separate applications for each. Also remember to get the one gun a month exception as another poster pointed out.

She doesn't need one. She just needs to sign the COE forms. Only your friend who wants to take possession of the gun collection. After your friend gets the FID card, fill this form out for each gun. Have the mom sign it. edit : correction , there is no field for a FID for the seller. Only the transferee (your friend) form: http://www.state.nj....arms/sp-634.pdf

I don't want to sound morbid, but if his Mom is alive, his mother is the legal owner of those firearms if there was no will involved. The law gets complicated from here, as for him to take the gun from the property, it would have to involve a temporary transfer from his mother to him. Heck under NJ law even the Mom temporarily transferring the gun to him may not be legal if he does not have an FID card. The only thing he can do to take possession of the guns is to get his own FID card, and the mother gift the guns to him and filling out a COE for each gun. Its easy to do, and sure beats getting in trouble, and/or having the guns taken away. I'm not a lawyer, but this is my understanding of how it has to take place.

Great example story. Pistol caliber carbines are generally accepted to be 100 yard maximum effectiveness range before you have to start drastically accounting for bullet drop, and cope with lot of energy loss. The only place I see for pistol carbines would be with a SWAT type weapon for room to room. Otherwise , IMO handgun and 5.56 rifle would be the most versatile and effective setup for a cop. Battlesight Maximum Point Blank range is easy to configure for a 5.56 rifle to give very accurate shots out to 250 yards with zero thought of trajectory using the 50-225 improved battlesight setup. For a 9mm pistol caliber carbine, the equivalent configuration is good for only out to 100. http://cheaperthandirt.com/blog/?p=2465 http://web.archive.org/web/20071106054651/groups.msn.com/TheMarylandAR15ShootersSite/9mmzero.msnw Why are politicians making these decisions? They have no leg to stand on as I'm sure they don't understand any of this. Add to that how sad it is that we now have to think about trajectories in regards to long school hallways.

You may want to consult with a lawyer, as they haven't fixed FOPA to deal with overnight/delayed travel plans. If you do proceed, I would leave the ammo home, or if it is special, ship it ahead of time to your destination. With that in mind, I would also consider shipping your gun(s) to a FFL at your destination also, just to avoid any potential issues. Maybe there's a friendly gun shop near where you are traveling to. This way you avoid the whole thing outright. Theoretically you should be OK. In practice.. you will be exposed to at least 3 different LE agencies. DHS, Port Authority, and Local PD. If anyone of them isn't up with their FOPA education... you may be in for a big disappointment when you miss your flight and spend a few nights in jail as they sort everything out. Sadly this is how it works in NJ. Even if you are 100% legal, there is a chance you may get arrested, and guns confiscated while they figure everything out. There are no reprisals, only a "sorry, have a nice day".

MSDS for CCI "regular" primers. They offer lead-free versions also. http://glarp.atk.com/2008/msds/Primers.pdf Also , I believe that a majority of airborne lead produced from firing cartridges results from the base of the bullet being in contact with the hot gases of the discharge. Ammo with full copper jacket that covers the base removes this avenue and only leaves the primer lead. I love this quote, captain obvious remark: "SKIN CONTACT: After primers have been fired, dust, vapors, and/or fumes may cause irritation. * Projectiles from fired ammunition can cause puncture wounds."

Have you considered free-float forearms with integrated rails? You could put a BUIS on the the forward most top rail and not have to mess with the gas block having one. Also, when using a gas block rail for a BUIS... u have to get a metal one which costs more than the plastic variety. Just food for thought.

Sweet. Good to hear!

If I put them in a Blendtec blender I'd say... "primer smoke... don't breathe this"

Nice build Cylinder

They must be operating under exemptions afforded to people without FID cards, or FOPA if just passing through.

I would have said.. "It's illegal for US persons to purchase firearms with the intent to sell them in Mexico, just like it is illegal for Mexican persons from bringing illegal drugs into the US" Nuff said...

Was a lot of fun today rifleman aka. shotgunman. You have me looking at o/u shotguns now. What do you think about the CZ Canvasback? It's no browning or fancy Italian job... but just for using once in awhile..

I don't waste time! I'm crazy impressed with how the rifle turned out. She's a real shooter. Should have the SD3G trigger next week. I'm afraid I went a little overboard with that, but we'll see. Almost every review I read everyone says the spending remorse goes away after the first trip to the range with it. Pic of the new gun if you havent seen it. You have shots of yours with the new upper? http://njgunforums.com/forum/index.php?/topic/10555-ar-pics-lets-seeum/page__view__findpost__p__298478

That's funny, I just shot my new BCM 14.5" middy today for the first time. I ran a swab of militec down the barrel, took it to the range, and shot around 80 rounds or so with no rhyme or reason. You weren't at CJ by any chance were you?

Gun cleaning fest! You appear to be one of those "I build it" kind of guys. I'm the complete opposite as a "I can break it" type.

I'm shocked at what he said, even though for him it was like swallowing nasty tasting medicine. At least he respects and understands what 2A is all about, even though he doesn't like it. Seems like his advisers schooled him on what to say, as the concept of 2A rights have been so foreign to him.

I don't know about a "card" per say. I'm all for stuff that prevents prohibited persons from getting firearms, but I am not OK with anything to do with a registration, ID, or other type of thing that I would need to exercise my 2A rights. Edit :using existing driver's license should be more than enough. BTW, good example of something that was NOT supposed to be a universal ID , but turned out that way. So since we are stuck with it, may as well use it. States are very strict nowadays at giving out DL's so it should be more than enough.

This type thing can happen anywhere. Don't forget Ft. Hood.

read up on the posts above, i expressed my logic. and I agree, and will use a pirate chest

I'll buy that for a dollar!

I suppose it makes sense. I was going by the logic of professional fireworks 1.3G magazines, which must be metal enclosures wood or other non-metalic lined to prevent sparks. Still the enclosure itself has to be metal. I suppose it could be different since firework magazines are to be placed outdoors away from human occupied structures, whereas a powder "box" would be in someone's home where metal would cause a fragmentation danger. I would still go for a pirate chest.

Wooden box, lol. That will stop a fire from spreading to the powder! Gotta luv the govt. My town requires a pirate chest.

Never heard of such a thing

Sounds good. In the end get what makes you happy. That's a very nice lower. Pinning the MOE is easy, here is a vid doing the CTR, same concept with MOE. Vid You are doing it the right way. Get the pinning done before you take shipment of the upper.
