OK makes sense. Took 219 years for the Supreme Court to finally decipher that comma in the 2A, so why can't we have our fun with it for a few days?

I know its a guideline, but who wants to play lawyer defending against it in court? Nothing delineating between if it is a dealer or regular private citizen. NJAC 13:54-1.2 http://www.michie.co...=main-h.htm&cp= Original Proposal http://www.state.nj....p/rp010702a.htm

Grats on the new cannon! Reloading will be your friend!

We'll never know until something hits his desk. He knows that there is no point in acting pro-gun rights, as the NJ Legislature is by far not. So why blow political capital is what he's problably figuring. On the flip side, he didnt say "I'm all for stregthening gun control, etc". The quip about if he was a democratic governer there "would be more" kinda says it.

I have a DPMS 16" stainless bull barrel AR setup for years now. Its a great shooter, never had a problem with it. Just my 2 cents.

A news article pointing out the statutes and how they could be interpreted to being violated during this news conference would be eye opening. I'm not suggesting push for charges, but to demonstrate the draconian laws already in place, and how even law-abiding (if you can call politicians that) people could get caught up in the technicalities... which carry extremely harsh sentances. If done properly, it would be and educating experience for readers.

Good one. There are no provisions in the statues that I can find for "temporary transfer" of firearms being used here. Looks like Brian Miller was holding a Cobray, usually a FA gun. He could be charged for posession of a machine gun as well as illegal possession of a handgun. It would never stick, selective enforcement at its best, and as far as I know you can't force a DA to press criminal charges. Although it would be fun to have this researched to make sure there aren't any provisions. Then if there really really aren't any.. see them squirm if a news article was publicized with the facts and how the anti-gun rights people don't follow NJ gun laws.

Welcome! Be conscious of "dual-use" stuff. Like if you have a pump shotgun that uses an AR buffer tube with a collapsible stock on it. If it could be unscrewed and used on the AR, I wouldn't own it. Also, if you have a bolt action rifle that takes commodity mags like an AR or FAL, etc... since those mags also fit in semi-auto rifles, they would be considered a no-go to posses even if you are using it in your BA rifle.

Sweet, looks good. I have the same concern that I hope it doesn't become too predictable and same-old when it comes to alien invasion flicks. Right now I'm really enjoying V, great plot and always has you thinking.

Here's what I've learned over the years with my AR's when it comes to sticking bolt type things to keep in mind when you clean it. You probably already know this stuff, but going to throw it out there as it fixed a sticky bolt issue I had once before. - No lube on the bolt innards or bolt carrier chamber where the bolt fits into. If you insist , a light wipe with a dry film lube/protectant like eezox, let dry, wipe. More for corrosion resistance than anything else. - Clean the outside of the gas tube portion that extends into the upper receiver.. where the gas key fits onto. I've had situations where it got gummed up with lube/cleaning products, causing sticking as it moved into the gas key. Dental tools help there, as gunk can build up under the tube. - Conversely - clean out the gas key on the bolt carrier. There could be lube/cleaning product remnants inside there gumming it up also. Pipe cleaners work well there.

I would look into having any record of the arrest expunged/wiped. "clean record" could mean different things. Ask your lawyer about it. Make sure there is NO record whatsoever of the arrest, etc.

Agreed, we're not getting the full picture.

Because the delivery guy felt threatened, as he felt compelled to obey the order to step into the house for fear of getting shot... the search will probably hold up based on his testimony. Just saying I saw a guy have a gun in a holster on his waist in his own home should not be enough. Then again this is NJ... I love how they made it appear as if having a loaded gun in your own home is illegal in the article. Unless there were minors present and the loaded guns were not properly secured, there isn't a statute they can stand on when it comes to this. As long as the AR isn't considered an AW, this guy will go up on high cap mag and drug charges, for that I have no sympathy for him. The rest of the "loaded guns" will not add onto his charges provided they are not prohibited weapons, or he isn't a prohibited person.

They did a good job. This Amicus to me is an excellent paper to provide to a NJ non gun owner. It is on the shorter-to the point side as to how things go down in NJ regarding carry permits, along with how the whole mess of regulations is in effect an outright ban on civilian carry.

I face this all the time when it comes to selling IT security solutions. They unofficially know they need to do something, but they go hear, see, and speak no evil when it comes to facing it head on. They feel that if they admit that they are in the know, that they now have increased liability in the event something happens. Its all about the CYA mentality, no matter if its a computer system or people's safety.

Provided the extension is suitably pinned/welded (dubious as the seller states it can be re-converted to an SBR), and the stock is perm welded, AND it isn't specified officially as an "AK" model, as in stamped into the receiver as part of the model number.

This quote needs a little completion to give it the proper context.. He actually said "People laugh when I tell them it is an exciting time to be a gun owner in New Jersey". That's what makes it hilarious!

Capable of holding more than 15 rounds.... that can feed into a SA firearm. This means, if you have a magazine that can hold more than 15 rounds, and it will fit into and function in any SA firearm ever created, you would be guilty of possession of a "large capacity ammunition magazine". Co-possession of the SA firearm for which the magazine fits is not a requirement to be found guilty. The same is true for possession of hollow points outside of the exemptions. You do not need the firearm in which the hollow point rounds fit into to be found guilty. edit: if the magazine is unable to be used in any SA firearm, it is OK to exceed 15 rounds according to the law. The state would have to prove there is a SA version of the firearm out there that will accept the mag to have a case.

If it is permanently disabled, i.e. can never be fired. I don't think you will have a problem. If it is pre 1898, and fires ammunition that is not commercially available... that one is tough. I doubt anyone would want to chance selling that to you in NJ without the FID transfer process, JUST in case some esoteric company out there makes a run of commercially available (you can buy it) ammo for it. Unless you are looking for wall-hangers that have been permanently altered to never be able to be fired again, I would go the FID route.

Thats very cool. I wish the factory Scout mount was capable of this. Thanks for the heads up, bookmarked.

Its pretty clear, if it fits into a SA firearm... its a high capacity magazine. You don't need to own the said SA firearm to be in violation. If the state can prove that the magazine fitting over 15 rounds can be used by any SA firearm available anywhere, you are out of luck. I know many people aren't Nappen fans, but he has an example in his book in which an 15+ round magazine ONLY fit into a automatic fire weapon (there were no SA versions of the weapon ever made), so he got his client off on the charge as NJ law states SA firearms specifically.

Ah, here you go: 2C:39-1. Definitions. The following definitions apply to this chapter and to chapter 58: a."Antique firearm" means any rifle or shotgun and "antique cannon" means a destructive device defined in paragraph (3) of subsection c. of this section, if the rifle, shotgun or destructive device, as the case may be, is incapable of being fired or discharged, or which does not fire fixed ammunition, regardless of date of manufacture, or was manufactured before 1898 for which cartridge ammunition is not commercially available, and is possessed as a curiosity or ornament or for its historical significance or value.

1) Get your FID card 2) Purchase rifles and shotguns (antique or not) from a NJ state dealer/FFL, or from out-of-state dealers who will transfer to a NJ based FFL who offers a transfer service. There are some exceptions around inheritance, is that part of the picture? If its a handgun, add in a step in which you need a handgun purchase permit for each handgun to be presented to the NJ dealer or FFL. There are laws around transporting said rifles and shotguns, make sure you follow them. There are also laws around firearms within access of minors, so be watchful of that. I'd remove the firing pins of guns you plan on displaying in your home for decorative purposes. Also make sure the "antique" firearms are not considered "Assault Weapons" or "Sawed off shotguns" when it comes to NJ laws.

Placed a Happy B-day order for some stuff earlier today!
