Hah, true on that.. "ouch you ate half of my face off"... "well, jeeze, this seems like peachy idea, I'm going to go try the same thing to someone else"

You will have to have it sent to a dealer in NJ that can do compliance work. You will need to have the stock pinned to make it fixed, and the flash hider replaced with a permanently attached (pin and/or welded) muzzle break device. edit: oh and 15 round mags

That's crazy shiznit. Sounds like this stuff is more a poison than recreational drug.

Just found this on ED and Bath Salts http://abcnews.go.com/Nightline/video/bath-salts-causing-excited-delirium-16463936

I thought about this also. It could be some synthetic designer drug out there causing extreme "Excited Delirium" conditions, commonly associated with PCP. Disassociated violent outbursts, hallucinations, bizarre and aggressive behavior ... with characteristic super-human strength.

I see tons of unsafe idiotic driving every day that doesn't involve pets, they should be going after those people and not focusing on silly stuff like this. Besides, focusing on "shore" traffic on the parkway is a moot point, as any weekend parkway shore traffic will be going max 10mph in anyway!

I have to change my yes to a no for this match. Already emailed Ron letting him know.

For those wanting to know the statute that refers to handgun ammunition purchases:

FOPA is supposed to protect you for this type of activity. Discretion is your number one friend when using FOPA for traveling through "enemy" territory with firearms. Everything locked up, and not in plain sight. Nothing that would indicate you are traveling with firearms. Do not consent to any searches if pulled over, nor answer ANY questions like "do you have any weapons in the car". Do not lie, whatever you do, all you have to say is that you are under advisement to not answer any questions other than providing your identity and necessary documents whenever pulled over. Worse case scenario, you would be arrested, and would have to go to court using FOPA as your defense. To do so, make sure you follow the rules to the point of paranoia. edit: as others said, I wouldn't pick him up in NYC, as doing that would make his house your "destination" in which FOPA would not protect you because the destination possession is illegal.

I'm told that homes with hot water heat, they prefer to install an air handler and cooling coil in the attic, along with the proper duct-work. They can then run ceiling mounted vents from the attic into each room, this way there is no destroying sheetrock to run ducts. If you have a 2 floor house it would be more involved, but a ranch it should be much easier.

I just bought one from BJ's. It should be plenty for a small cooler + shooting bag + folding chair, and I'll be good to go living the life of luxury on the range.

I'm in.

Yup that was me with the green shirt running with the Palm. Jon, Frank, and Maks when he wasn't RO'ing also were on it. Thanks out to everyone who taped, tore down, RO'd (the energizer bunny RO's Nick + Maks.. they kept going and going), and other stuff that was necessary to keep our large squad moving! I'm terrible with names also, and running the palm or scoring actually helped me out quite a bit by drilling names into my head. IMO we need NJGF name tags or personalized shirts with our names at these matches to help us name-remembering challenged folks. Long day along with humidity, but was well worth it. I'm off to BJ's today to look for those carts that everyone else seems to have. Next match I'll be equipped with a cooler fo sho.

I agree with you Vlad G, it is just a matter of time before the ATF's hand is forced to "re-evaluate" it's current practice of how it determines if a gun is "sporting" or not when it comes to importation clearance. I do belong to the NRA, SAF, NJ2AS, ANJRPC, and USPSA (which I actively shoot in).

You get to go to court on aggravated assault charges, possession of a weapon for unlawful purposes, and I'm sure others. You will have to prove that you were using a deadly weapon for self defense because you had no clear route of escaping imminent death or serious bodily injury from the person attacking you. You will then have to prove that you had the knife on you for legitimate legal purposes, like peeling apples or something, since self defense is not a recognized legal purpose for carrying a knife in NJ AFAIK.

Drives me crazy. Every gun owner would be freaking out if all of a sudden the ATF could deem any domestically produced gun "not sporting" and ban it from sale. They do this regularly with imported guns and it goes unchallenged. Any foreign gun maker that wants to sell a gun that the ATF feels looks "un-sporting" (aka : EBR), has to set up shop in the US to produce enough parts here for 922r compliance. This is why the Steyr AUG made a comeback, then a swift exit as they weren't getting enough sales to justify domestic parts production. The nice thing out of it I suppose is it has recharged domestic US companies sales by filling the import gap by providing domestically built clones of ATF defined "non-sporting" guns. Think PTR91 and the DSA SA for instance. It has also opened up a whole cottage industry around providing 922r parts. The danger is that we are one pen-stroke away from 922r turning into something like "all parts must be US built", which would do away with using foreign surplus parts for building what are today 922r compliant guns. Think Saiga and the various AK style builds that utilize foreign parts kits or gun conversions. Since USPSA and IPSC utilize types of guns that today the ATF deems non-sporting for import decisions, they would be "shooting themselves in the foot" if they did come out and say that the types of guns used in these competitions would constitute a "sporting" use. This is one example of broad-brush, ambiguous, and open to subjective logic legal terms in our gun regulation, similar to most of NJ's gun laws. The ATF can deems what gun is "non sporting" by whatever process they wish to utilize, and ultimately comes down to the decision of what one person's ideas and feelings amounts to. Laws and regulations like this go against the fabric of what our country was built on. If they want to ban certain types of guns for importation and sale, they need to set up some very clear and unambiguous definitions around what "non-sporting" means. For instance, how the NFA rules on what a machine gun is defined as, or what a SBR is defined as. Clear and concise methods of operation and/or physical descriptions along with measurements in which nobody could be mistaken about.

America sounds so nice

The most used weapon is the human mind

Welcome to NJ, the "Keep quiet, and don't get caught State" edit: this is a joke of course, I am not advocating breaking any laws

IMO, Status quo and blocking any new do-nothing gun control laws is all we can hope for at this point. Any changes to make NJ properly recognize 2A rights (re-vamping current laws) would have to be fought in court with NJ screaming and kicking all the way.

There is zero incentive monetarily for the USA to be part of this treaty. The asshat countries and groups out there procuring weapons illegally (or legally via loopholes) are not buying US weapons AFAIK. They are too expensive. They go for the China knock-offs! Norinco CQ 5.56 anyone! For instance : China got caught talking to Qaddafi As for the treaty affecting our 2A rights, I'm still not sold on this. I believe we have larger threats, such as arbitrary BATF and State Dept policies that can in one fell swoop ban the importation of any type of guns that they feel are not "sporting" enough. Who needs a UN treaty when we un-checked policies and regulations that hold the power of law, without the need to actually go through Congress. Very similar to these BS "Executive Orders" that the White House has been spewing for the past 100 years.

When I started shooting .308 chasing single holes... started with rifle single stage press Then when I started with USPSA, adding a progressive press for HG ammo

Ballistol is decent stuff. Mixed with water into an emulsion , it is my go-to product for corrosive ammo residue flushing. It is also great as a gun wipe down, leaving a nice shine. It is also good for your skin, leather , and wood. I use it on all wood and leather parts of guns, and even on my leather work gloves. Its main ingredients are mineral oil and oleic acid (fatty acid similar to what is found in vegetable oils). This was an unfair test IMO. If I needed to protect metal under those conditions, a coating of Bullfrog Rust Blocker would do it. It was designed to prevent corrosion on ship electrical panels for the Navy. It does form an opaque light near waxy coating on the metal, so I wouldn't use it on a gun unless I was putting it away for a long long time. Bullfrog also makes a gun cleaner/rust protector spray product. It smells pretty good, cleans decently, and dries completely leaving a dry film similar to Eezox (another excellent corrosion preventive). I don't buy it any more as it is pricey, and there are better options for guns IMO. I do religiously put a new Bullfrog Emitter Shield in the gun safe every year to prevent rust in the gun safe. It supposedly emits a vapor based chemical that only sticks to metal. It goes wherever there is air, so it will eventually get into the barrel and actions.

NJFG had a ton of pretty nice stuff in stock when I was there a few weeks ago dropping off a muzzle brake-pinning job. Not sure on their prices though.

AFAIK , only applies if you are engaged in hunting activities, or perhaps on hunting grounds, etc.
