Funny stuff! Sad that you have to preface this with "this is not anti police".

Thanks Maks, I may be able to Friday morning, will let you know later this week in case you can make it there at the same time. Otherwise I'm loading some 4.9gr and 5.2gr WSF pushing the extreme plated 124's. Keeping below max, in the mid to mid-high range. I'm hoping my visual inspection + RCBS lockout die do their jobs at reducing squib risk.

Will be trying my new WSF powder based 9mm loads. Should be fun.

If you reload... I'd look at a 260 Remington based platform. It is best known for mimicking 300 win mag trajectory in a more cost efficient and much less recoil package. Only worth it if you reload , otherwise 223 or 308 will give you many more factory load options. A rem 700 in 260 is on my list.

Start sporting one of these at your favorite indoor range. You'll get the "he must know something we don't" look.

We have to get away from the statistics game, that is the game of the anti's. Anyone can position statistics to make them look in their favor. It is easy to formulate gun statistics with injuries, versus those that save people because they go unreported. Turn the argument into one of rights, both constitutional and civil. After-all, how many injuries could be attributed to 1A rights, how about 4A where dangerous criminals get off free because of intentional or unintentional infringement on unwarranted searches. With rights, comes the responsibility to use them appropriately, and punishment for those who abuse them. The government cannot "pre-punish" for potential rights abuses as they are trying to do with gun control. Just like this magazine limit thing. The antis say these magazines allow criminals to kill more people. Well we have to punish anyone who does then, make the law that anyone who uses a gun with a magazine for the commission of a murder gets their gonads removed and sent to a prison in Antarctica for life. Just don't pre-punish me or other law abiding citizens by banning such items that have been in use for decades and are essential for me and others in exercising their R2KBA.

There is no other argument needed than this: It is my right to own guns and the accessories that go along with them regardless of what they look like or what their capacities are. Just because criminals can abuse these items for illegal purposes does not give the government the authority to infringe on my right to own and use them for legal purposes. There are already a plenitude of laws on the books that make it illegal for prohibited persons such as those with a past of violent criminal behavior, and certified dangerous mental health status from obtaining firearms. Any further and many existing forms of gun control based on the distorted premise of "public safety" are misguided and twisted attempts to deprive me of my rights both constitutional as well as my inalienable right to self defense. Laws such as this are clearly designed to punish and criminalize law-abiding gun owners, and are akin to a form of social abuse and harassment by the government.

I'm torn. I'm all for civil rights, especially 4A. And I do believe there needs to be some "teeth" involved for violating it; however, I'm not so sure that this is on the right track. LE is used to people capitulating regardless if they are in the right or wrong, if they don't things usually end badly for the civilian. There will be no judge onsite that will say, "OK mr homeowner, you are in the right, go ahead and push that cop out of your house". What will happen is the homeowner will get the crap beat out of him or worse. IMO a law that provides penalties to LE for making bad decisions, like executing an unjustified search where no RAS/PC or warrant was involved would be a better alternative. This will change the , violate the suspects rights, and we'll see what we can get away with/ sticks in court methodology.

Lol I haven't heard that one before. My wife will take a new Dooney Bourke pocket book or some jewelery over a vacuum anyday.

Check the weight of anything you buy, as lugging them around is half the battle. Especially if you have multi-levels. I looked at a lot of the fancy vacs including Dysons. We decided on the Hoover Platinum, replacing an Oreck we had for 7 years. Lightweight, powerful, sucks up the dog hair no problems, and did I say its light? It doesn't have hose attachements on the main vac, but does include a very handy small canister with all of the attachements. I prefer this arrangement, as its much easier to do stairs and small places, then lugging the main vac around with a hose. I owned an Oreck XL for years, and I think this vacuum is better at 1/3rd the price. Oh and its only $212. Uses bags so order extra if you do buy it. The bags are inexpensive, last a long time, and are thick high quality filtering types. http://www.amazon.com/Hoover-Platinum-Lightweight-Canister-UH30010COM/dp/B001PB8EEM

Technically yes, as the statutes do not indicate permanent versus temporary. The gray area is that the NJAC , the guidebook for prosecutors and LE... says that they "believe" that a temporarily blocked mag is still considered a "large capacity magazine" and that people are open to being prosecuted for them. Whether or not it sticks in court is another thing as they cannot use NJAC guidelines as evidence against you, only what is in the statutes. The bottom line is that there is some risk acceptance involved,as even if you are 99% sure they will not get the conviction, for some people the arrest and just getting dragged through the "system" is not something they may want to risk. I haven't heard nor could find any case-law around temp blocked mags, and most likely people that do get nailed for them are most likely in some other kind of nasty trouble, and the large cap charges are just chips on the board to be played going for a plea bargain. That or they get plea'd out to some lesser non felon charge, charges are dropped, or they are plea'd out to lesser non-felon type stuff like a misdemeanor.

I've seen vendors put a spacer in the mag to prevent the follower from moving down past the 15 round mark, then follow up with a few blind pins in the bottom of the mag plate. You can no longer disassemble the mag for cleaning, which is annoying, but there are ways to do it. I've also seen industrial rivets popped in the side to block the follower as well.

This If you are reloading for a 357 revolver, why not just do this? You can load a .357 mag round to act like a softer .38. That's one of the benefits of reloading yourself, custom tailored rounds. The only real reason to load both would be if you also owned a .38special only gun and needed to load for both.

IMO, although OC is legal in some states by anyone not prohibited, and of course within the rules/laws... I think people should pay attention to the cultural environment of the locations where they plan on OC'ing. It could have legal ramifications, or at least can result in unwanted attention from LE. Sure it is a right, and even protected by law (at least in some states), and people should NOT be harassed for exercising their rights, but one could argue that it could under some circumstances not be the best decision. To me, laws allowing the right of OC is the "catch all" legal protective law. Where you have the freedom to unholster your weapon to place in a box in your car, accidentally have it exposed while concealed,etc. Or to OC in areas where it is culturally accepted, and people don't even pay attention.

Yes and No. In exempted locations you do not. Long guns outside of exempted locations you do (FID). HG's outside of exempted locations you do (carry permit). There are also a slew of laws around how you came to hold the gun, as in how did you receive it in the first place, even in exempted possession locations. For long guns, you need an FID and COE to be filled out, for HG's Pistol Purchase Permit, bring them with you when you first move to NJ, or you can inherit them. You must receive the gun before the actual act of possession can take place. There are different statutes for each of these, including temporary transfer exemptions as well as permanent transfers. There are some locations where temporary xfers are OK , such as firing ranges and training classes. AFAIK, giving a gun to anyone to "take a look at" constitutes a form of temporary transfer. That is you are giving it to them, they are receiving it, but not in a permanent fashion (in which a COE or PP would need to be used). I don't buy that handing someone a gun to "check out" is not a form of temporary transfer. That would mean that someone, like a dealer could hand a convicted prior felon/prohibited person a HG to "check out", and it would be legal because it is not really a form of temporary transfer, thus outside of the law.

Maybe things like this are causing the large increase of NJSP patrols that I've noticed pulling people over on the parkway, maybe they are just trying to fund their TP account?

That stage sounds fun Bob. Now I know, Shongum doesn't get muddy. All I kept thinking in the AM was how muddy the place would be like CJ gets. I'm like AndyB, I don't mind playing in it, just hate cleaning up afterwards.

I'll be going to Solomon's tomorrow provided they have WSF when I call. 1-4pm on Sundays. From my experience, he is at or lower than internet prices for powder. No S&H, no Hazmat... just gas and salestax.

I'm loving this knife. Its lightweight and not too big or too small for EDC. G10 handles and texture provide a sure grip even when wet. Dual steel blade is cool to look at and serves a function as well. D2 tool steel at the cutting business end is really good stuff, only bested by the very expensive exotic stainless steels out there. Being a tool steel bordering the stainless category , it can and will rust if not lightly oiled. I decided to put a light patina on mine by keeping the blade in hot vinegar for a few hours. Did the job! Plus I keep a light coating of G96 synth gun oil on her, by light I mean applying and wiping off with a cloth. Well worth the $80 if you ask me, and made in the USA.

All guns come with a lock of some sort to satisfy state laws like NJ's. I have a nice collection of them. As for needing a safe, it is not required by law, only that the gun be inaccessible to the minors.

You don't need a license to purchase a car, only to operate it on public roads. And there aren't any criminal statutes dictating who , when, and where you are permitted to sit in cars. Last I checked , even prior convicted murders without a DL license are not prohibited from sitting in cars.

New thread, "When is a transfer is not a transfer"

We've been down this route before, this is just my belief. Others feel that a dealer giving a gun to someone to see does not constitute a "temporary transfer". They could be right also.

Technically only if the dealer also has a range.
