I have 2 5 port 10/100 hubs, and on 1 8 port dumb switch here in Old Bridge/Matawan area. PM me if interested.

IMO, At least run a box or two of the ammo that you plan on using through the gun to make sure there aren't any obvious problems with comparability. Before you can do that, I would personally keep loaded what I know works until I can get some testing in. I agree with some others, I feel that a 500 round "test" of self defense ammo is pretty hardcore. Everyone has to decide for themselves what they feel is an adequate test that would make them feel confident there arent any ammo incompatibilities with their gun.

Another sad instance resulting from calling the authorities for help with suicide situations... http://www.cbsatlanta.com/story/19917831/teen-shot-by-police-sniper-parents-talk-only-to-cbs-atlanta-news

I'm no expert, but it seems there are very few contemporary guns that actually appreciate tremendously in value in short amounts of time, like 20 years or younger. Things like the Colt Python. Maybe after 60 years or so it may be very desirable for its collector's appeal, but I wouldn't count on it. It would probably need some kind of confirmed historical provenance like it was owned by someone famous, was serial number 00001 of a famous line of guns, used in a major war or associated with a famous battle... that kind of thing. That's my take on collectable guns. If you do want to take the chance, for collectors you can't get better then new in box unless the value of the gun is associated with it being used (like in a war by a famous person, etc). Sometimes you see NIB guns from the 70's, like forgotten in the back of some old gun store. I've seen them go for basically going rates of modern versions or slightly higher if it is a cool gun, so from a $$$ perspective, it was an investment that made a return equal or better then the rate of inflation over 30-40 years. Not bad.

8am Sunday to 8am Monday , .50inches of rain in central NJ. Emailed Jim to cancel my reg.

This is why I use a corrosion inhibitor (Eezox for years now) for guns I don't shoot much. And a lubricant with some corrosion inhibiting properties (Slip EWL) for guns that I use every now and then. These are my "go to's" out of my gun care chemical stash. They sell Eezox as a "CLP" type of product. The solvents in the carrier base actually do a good job for cleaning, but you are using a fairly expensive product for a menial task. Clean with a more economical solvent, then treat with Eezox. The carrier solvent will dissipate leaving behind an invisible , non-tacky, very thin residual protective coating. I wouldn't count on Eezox's coating to act as a lube, though it is a "dry lube" of sorts. After dry, follow up with a wet lube or grease on high wear areas, and you will be golden. Lets not forget our gun safes with a proper desiccant pack will no where near experience what this guy did, so a product that performed alright but not great, will be more than sufficient for a cozy place like a gun safe, or a gun that is maintained a few times a year (clean+lube).

Damn you Ron. I just emailed Ira, I'll see what he comes back with.

Nice collection! Eventually a SS 226 Elite in 9mm will be mine... eventually...

Technically the ex-felon would be breaking federal and state law in terms of possession of the gun. The guy would have to personally weigh his risk that there are no laws to protect him. It would come down to the prosecutor if they wanted to pursue the charges. If that much time has passed, and the guy is reintegrated back into society, etc etc, maybe he can look into having his record expunged. IMO, it would have to be very clearly a good shoot, with no questions that it was a justifiable shoot before a NJ prosecutor looks the other way in this regards. Like saving a busload of school children or something like that.

Adverse possession laws are in place for many purposes, including the example you set forth. They can also be used to settle property boundary laws based on historical usage of the land along borders. As in the example.. if my fence and yard has been overlapped on 1ft of my neighbors property line for 25 years and he never complained or brought it up. I can make an adverse possession claim on that overlap on that ft of overlap if he decided to bring it up now. Squatters like to try to invoke these laws in their favor, almost always ending in failure here in the US, though each State does have its own laws on adverse possession making the process confusing. In the end, it just buys the squatter time to live there a few more months. Since the squatter is making the claim, she has records and proof that she has been "residing" there for a lengthy period, and there is no evidence or proof that she committed B+E, the laws in place that protect renters and other forms of residency come into play, not criminal laws. As in there is a legal process to follow before the sheriff comes and physically removes the person and possessions. That is my point.

The names list and substantially identical clause is still on the books. If the prosecutor can convince the court that the rifle is on the named list, or proves it is substantially identical to a gun on the named list you are in trouble. The test to see if something is substantially identical is the NJAC evil feature list. The test to see if it is named, well..., the only thing they can go by is if it has the name on the gun itself. Those are the prosecutor's two methods of determining if a gun is a NJ defined AW.

In all these "adverse possession" situations the squatter will say the door was left unlocked and they just walked in. Can't charge them with B+E unless there is some supporting evidence that the did in fact break in. Most likely the squatter will not have a valid claim on the property and will eventually be evicted, just has to go through the whole process just like evicting a renter. What gets everyone is why they are not treated like a trespasser. a) there is no proof the person broke in, b) a lengthy occupation of the property is involved, aka living there for awhile... the law then switches off criminal mode, and onto property/renter laws. Afterall, if someone broke into your house, wouldn't you call the police right away, not 6 months later. As far as the criminal justice system is concerned, it could have been someone you said could live there, and now you are lying saying they broke in 6 months ago and started living there just so you can have them thrown out. These laws were designed to prevent property owners from unethically/unlawfully evicting tenants from their property. Just like anything, squatters ride the fine line and try to exploit these laws to their fullest ability.

Definately area warning sirens. Similar to this thing http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XQ6vsy9nJRA

Nice self righteous neighbor you have there.

I'm dumbfounded.

Picked up a 2012 BMW K1300S. Just got back from a good ride. Hope you guys had a great run at CJ today.

Been taking the new motorcycle out every chance I can get, shooting has taken a backseat temporarily. I'll start showing up again next month when its just too cold to ride, but just right to shoot!

Enjoy the new toy!

I have a nitecore TM11. It's insanely powerful, with good range and more of a floodlight throw. On the highest power it does get pretty warm in a few minutes, and will start to self regulate power levels accordingly. So it's great for portability, and short duration use of the highest power. For longer runtime , you can always select a lower power and run it for much longer without heat problems. I love the smart electronic power/control switch operation as well.

Edit : sorry someone beat me to this! Missed it in my initial read NJ courts ruled that it must be a business owner of sorts, non-owner employees don't count. NJGF post : http://njgunforums.c...usiness__st__30 State v Valentine, 1973 http://nj.findacase....40203.NJ.htm/qx

I like my Weaver Tactical 3-15x50, lands in the $700 range. I'm no scope expert, but I came to the conclusion via interwebs research (including NJGF's) that Weaver and Sightron were both the "best bang for the buck" companies to look into for what I wanted.

One handgun, two unlawful possession of HG charges. Interesting. I wonder if one HG can be possessed by two people simultaneously. Or if they just throw the charge on , and see which it sticks to later on. Regardless, if stuff went down the way it was reported, the aggravated assault charge on the guy who swept the crowd seems legit, if they have the evidence that it really happend. The rest of the charges are nanny state NJ based stuff, like simply having a gun on you being illegal provided you arent prohibited or doing anything malicious with it. Or having a magazine on you that holds more than 15 rounds... Most other states simply having a HG and/or rifle in the woods wouldn't land you in jail.

You are fine if that is your address on your license and you really live there as your main residence. You have to feel confident that if you ever got an illegal possession of a HG charge against you while being there, that you can easily prove in court that it is your primary residence/dwelling. Drivers license address, bills addressed there, credit report listing there, and your personal possessions/bedroom/clutter etc all there.... are just some examples. The law basically wants to stop people from using the exemption as a loophole, as in say you are at a friends house and get charged and you just say "well I live here also, so I'm exempted for carrying here". The state would say "prove you live here"... and so on.
