Also be mindful of other stuff stored in the area. If you are storing pool chemicals and stuff, vapors from that will start attacking metal pretty harshly. Keep stuff well lubed, you will be fine. As for powder, sealed in the jar , condensation shouldnt be an issue, nor cold, but high heat will degrade the powder over time.

Sweet looking gun. I'd love to try shooting one of these someday. Phone pics fail, doen's do any justice.

I agree with the OP, an active duty LEO needing to go through the whole process for a pistol permit is silly, just like it is silly for a civilian who has gone through the same process over and over again, especially being you have to get/pay again for another NICS check at the time of purchase even with the PP in hand.

I reload in my non climate controlled garage. Been doing it for a year with my Forster single stage, and I just installed a LnL progressive. I use an overhead electric quartz radiant heater, and a propane fueled forced air heater about 20ft behind where I work. I keep all powder and primers in my home, and only bring out what I need. I then take all the powder, primers, and finished ammo back into my house when I'm finished. I also keep my equipment well lubricated, using a dry lube on parts that powder will contact, like Hornaday Gun Cleaner and Dry Lube or Eezox. All other metal I keep protected with a film protectant/lubricant like Amsoil Metal Protector. When I'm finished I throw a painters canvas tarp over the work area. No issues with rust or corrosion. I really wish I had a basement or spare room that I could work in the house, but I don't have have to make due with what I have.

I'm in single stack. I just started games, so don't be too thrilled with my scores.

I have a few boresnakes, I never really got into using them. It was an extra step as I'd boresnake the bore, then wipe down the snake because I don't want to keep running a dirty snake down the barrel. At home , its easier to just use patches and throw them away. The snake would be useful in a field kit for a quick cleaning, and you don't want to mess with carrying rods, jags, patches, brushes, etc around with you. Snake, rag, and some spray solvent is all that is needed. Spray down the bore, snake it, wipe the snake with rag, repeat as needed. Paper towels are a bad idea. As others said, if you are being thrifty, go with old cotton clothing/sheets, etc and cut them up.

edit: Sorry missed... as Maks said.... Any out of state mail-order/internet order purchases in which NJ saletax was not collected, it is the responsibility of the purchaser to pay that tax withing 20 days to the NJ Division of Taxation. Here everyone, I'll post the link for the tax remittance forms here: http://www.state.nj....tion/su_5.shtml Always happy to help! PS - don't minus me please, this is me being annoyingly sarcastic..

Figures that NJ was the evil root that started it all. I'm not surprised, it is for many things...

Thats some cool vintage dive gear there Eric. Here's me in nice warm tropical water.

Wow thats great, next time you get your bill, take a look and pm me what plan you have!

Good way of thinking about it. One could argue that the law provides for a defense. You have a high probability of being charged, spending lots of $$$, and face serious jailtime if the jury was having a bad day or didn't like how you looked. Remember NJ gun laws: guilty before being proven innocent.... own guns at your own peril.... discretion is your friend

This crap happens to me at least twice a year. I get a call from the CC company and they ask me if I've used my card at xyz for $$$. I say nope, they send me a new card. I caught a few $5 or $10 charges also, usually web hosting companies. The crooks like to use stolen numbers to rent web hosting services so they can post their malware and criminal activities up there. I call, let them know, they send me a new card. The CC companies have nobody to blame but themselves. There is ZERO securtiy around CC transactions. They choose to deal with it with backend anti-fraud detection analysis systems combined with sucking up the fraudulent charges on the ones that get by. It is simply too expensive for them to impliment security. Until the fraud costs start to break even with the cost of deploying and maintaining CC security (like chip+pin), they will continue to do so.

What plan do you have? 25/2?

If they thought the kid had a gun, they should have surrounded the house, called in for backup, and handled the situation as if there was an armed and dangerous person barricaded in the house. Why break down the door to go after him, why the urgency? I do agree if the kid was observed by LE comitting, was chased, and ran into the house to hide, they would not need a warrant. Is it me, or is does this kind of stuff seem to be happening more often? After watching so many vids like this online, I have to say I fear LE nearly as much as I fear criminals.

Guys, MA has a law for arguing on forums, it is in section one hundred and forty two subsection j, unless you adhere to paragraph seventy five subsection sixty two of article II in the ninteen ninty eight revised statutes of MA law on the ownership and posession of empty cardboard boxes. I tried searching through their gun laws more, but its like comitting self flagellation. I can't believe NJ and MA are part of the USA. Both states go out of their way to try to legally ensnare their own citizens. It is clear that MA wants to discourage people from exercising their 2A rights as much as possible... just like NJ but even in a worse way.

I have a 25/25 internet plan for fios. Comes in real handy with my Synology NAS for remote access to files and for sharing stuff.

Wow, I started reading MA gun laws.... MA BRAIN HURTS. They have a roster of "state approved weapons" define "large capacity weapons" as those that can basically accept a magazine. Then there are storage laws, and of course confusing exemptions for posession. If his car was parked in a public street, it could be messy. Garbage on having a gun in a car: http://www.malegislature.gov/Laws/GeneralLaws/PartIV/TitleI/Chapter269/Section10 Enough to have your head explode.

Whether or not a hotel room is considered a "residence, premises or other land owned or possessed by him", I wouldn't bet my life on it. IMO, Here's what you have to play with. If you belong to a rifle or pistol club, it removes the "directly to or from" and changes to "in going to or from" , but you still have to transport according to subsection g. which only gives you "reasonably necessary" deviations in your travels. Subsection g. is the kicker... if you belong to such a club referenced in (1), you don't have to go "directly to" but can only have "reasonable deviations" according to g. Without belonging to a club, you have to go "directly to or from" in (b), but still have an ability for "reasonable deviations" in g. Its up to you on how to determine what that definition is in both cases. This is why the anti crowd LOVES the word "reasonable". It is kludgey and open for debate, thus 5 years of your life in prison is determined by the ability of either side to argue successfully what "reasonable" is. 2C:39-6

Bravo

FIOS user. Excellent internet service and TV service. The TV picture appears sharper and never pixelates with fast motion scenes compared to when I had Cablevision. Their phone service was a rip off compared to what I get with Phonepower VOIP service, so I got a Internet/TV package without phone. I'm definately paying more for FIOS over what I can get Triple Play with Cablevision, just that I like the technology, TV menus and picture, and exellent internet bandwidth/speeds I'm getting so I pay the premium.

I had one but got bored of it. At the rifle range I'd rather shoot a full on rifle cartridge, indoor range I wanted to shoot pistols. I built an AR that is super light with a 14.5" barrel + pinned brake that I prefered over my CX4 as the rifle to grab if needed. Otherwise HG's are the rest of my main HD plan. So my Cx4 was just being underused, without a home in my HD plan, and not being taken to the range, so I sold her. Make no mistake, I'm not bashing the gun, it was a great handling and handy gun, and very may well fit that need for you. Just sharing my experience.

HOLY CRAP! I know this guy. He is a member of the Northern Lights Pyro Club, he's actually wearing the hat in the photo. Its a fireworks club in the Northeast. I just got involved with them a few years ago , became a member and typically get to 2 or so events per year. He is pretty involved with it. Crazy small world we live in.

Buy an AR lower receiver for $60-80 bucks online, and have it sent to an FFL for xfer, or get one from a local shop (remember ffl fees when factoring in price comparisons). Then slowly buy the parts you need to build the whole rifle when you have the $$ together. Tons of info out there on how to do it, and its fun. Most likely you will go with a complete upper, that will be the single big ticket item typically from $375 and up. Everything else will be below that with the BCG being the next most expensive single part at around $120ish for a quality one.

I think its a good idea to have them up there. They are out of my way, out of sight, and are a tool to be used if the situation waranted... like counter-sniper type activities where ground forces could not get to the bad guy in time. Now if they started stationing tacticooled up storm-trooper style guards all over the stadium, that would be pushing the limits and the whole "police state" thing comes into play. Well in my book anyway.

I just started games, but I'll play ... start taping up holes in your pasta colander
