Possession of HP's are illegal in NJ just like possession of HG's are. The only saving grace is there are exceptions for possession for both. Its been said before each HP bullet is like a mini HG when it comes to possession and transportation. I don't know of this statute that people are saying HP's are only illegal when used during the commission of a crime...

I use Ed's Red formula for cleaning dirty old rifles. Works well.

Simple.. 1) Its my Constitutional right, and I want to exercise it responsibly like I do with my other Constitutional rights 2) I have an inalienable human right to defend myself, and I feel a firearm is the most effective tool for that purpose

Quote In addition, N.J.S.A. 2C:58-4 provides a reasonable mechanism for obtaining a permit to carry guns outside the home. There's that word "reasonable" , gotta love it. Most abused word in the whole R2KBA fight...

To break it down... Posession of a HG: They found that the judge should have let the jury know about the NJ exemptions. Large cap mags : They proved that they held 16 rounds, but did not prove nor demonstrate that they were capable of feeding continuously into a SA firearm as defined in the statutes. And they are still fighting the HP conviction...

Very nice build, grats! The only suggestion I would make would be to use some of that wiggle room and get a decent camera for some high Q pics!

PT709 has my vote. It is my PA CCW standard along with a Sideguard snap holster. Or for when it gets really really hot nothing beats this...

I really don't want to have to go into hibernation mode again when it comes to getting ammo, and now that I reload... components.

Want.. !

And here they destroy the need for mens rea (guilty mind, intent) when it comes to firearms statutes.

So the law should say... j.Any person who knowingly has in his possession a large capacity ammunition magazine is guilty of a crime of the fourth degree

Just your run of the mill 2A trampling under guise of government "policy". Just like what the ATF is currently doing by only allowing the importation of what they consider "sporting" arms into the country. The definition of "sporting" is entirely up to how they feel.

I suppose if you have a magazine designed for .40cal, and somehow it could also be used to feed 15+ 9mm through a SA firearm... if you did not have prior knowledge that the magazine could do this, you wouldn't "knowingly posses" a NJ defined large cap mag. So basically, everyone un-learn everything in this thread and we'll be OK.

Good job. I think you learned a few things about preparedness for an event in which you feel you need access to your gun. A single HG in a tactile touch activated lockbox (like a gunvault) in the bedroom is much more valuable than a collection locked up in the basement. A bird in the hand is worth two in a bush!

I've learned to call Solomon's before heading out the door to make sure they are open. Otherwise you are taking a chance.

Nice of you to offer! Wish I could make it. I've been wanting to try out 10mm boomyness.

Did you get whipped with their belts?

Aren't these laws "Strict Liability" , meaning that just illegally possessing a prohibited object is enough to be convicted, with no defense other than to prove the item is not contraband?

Interesting I always wondered about the non-bake Duracoat.

Looks great! I'm tempted to try something like this, but I'm concerned with longevity of the paint job if it isn't one of the bake-on types. Would like to know long term hold-up of the finish with normal use!

Perfectly legal.

Ugh. WTH, seems every judge we get in the NE when it comes to R2KBA cases is some "Clinton" appointee....

Welcome back. From the fire back into the frying pan.

Federal law-wise you look ok provided you meet the residency requirements. If the package is addressed to you at your own home, and someone receives it.. they cannot open it. Again, this is federal laws here, and IANAL. I'm not sure how NJ would act. http://www.atf.gov/f...f-state-firearm
