PP's are applied for. I'm stuck in analysis paralysis regarding what HG I want. First it was the Sig p229 elite SS, then the p226 elite SS, then regular p226+SRT. I'm tilting towards a p226 elite SS in 9mm regarding Sigs at this time. Though now, I'm starting to look at 1911's in 9mm. I don't own a 1911, nor do I want to go into another caliber, especially expensive .45acp (i'm not setup to reload HG ammo YET)... But I have shot some 1911's and liked them very much. Plus it seems it is an essential for anyone's collection. I'm looking at Kimber's and STI's. So far the STI Trojan in 9mm has my eye, though they don't offer stainless , and their hard chrome job is an extra $300. What do you guys think of 1911's in 9mm, and are there any other suggestions? I'm trying to stay in the $1000 area being my upper limit.

My compliment includes: 9mm .357sig .357mag .22lr 7.62x39 5.45x39 5.56x45 nato 7.62x54r 7.62x51 nato 12gauge

3.07 years per inch then!

NJ considers BB/pellet guns as firearms, even though there is contradictory federal preemption. Just follow your local ordinances around firearm discharge, and you'll be OK.

Thought we were talking HG's, but yea long guns have different restrictions, just like NJ.

Lol, the best part was in the beginning when he said "YUK".

You heathen!! How dare you want your stock to adjust in a range of 4-5 inches for better fit to your body and shooting styles! This is such a ridiculous, malicious, and down-right dangerous idea. I think we should have a law passed that punishes people for 10 years in prison, 5 years mandatory without parole for anyone that tries this! Oh wait.... we live in NJ, never-mind.

SI is a borough of NYC, no-go.

As others said, someone from NYC can bring their HG to NJ for target shooting, just have to abide by the transportation rules and possession exemptions... as in directly to and from the place of target practice, etc. As everyone said, its a no no to take a HG from NJ into NYC; though if you were passing through lets say to get to CT, FOPA will technically cover you while you transport through NYC on your way to CT from NJ. Of course all FOPA rules must be obeyed. I'm sure you'll still be arrested, charged, and will have to prove FOPA protects you in court, but just sayin...

Found on Digg Apparently the sound of a shotgun racking can cause bad guys to bolt...

I can't vote on this issue until I understand what will happen when I have to "check the box" that I was previously denied a NJ CCW permit. Great system they have going, making us afraid to even apply for the dang thing.

I thought about something like this in the past as well. A sure way to prove the point and drive the message home that NJ's permit scheme is a farce, and an embarrassment. It's purpose is to give the illusion that NJ has provisions to allow its citizens the right to carry, but in reality it is a system of oppression of those rights. My first question would be what the impact of being denied a CCW permit in NJ would have on me. Would I be denied all future pistol permits, or even perhaps an FID if I move somewhere else in NJ and have to re-apply? Ultimately what trouble, if any would it cause. Second, it would have to be a well organized and publicized event. SAF, NJ2AS, ANJRPC, etc should be involved at some level. I would want to make sure an event like this would help our case, and not turn it into a circus. The anti's specialize in twisting stories to support their views. Third, as others said, it would have to have the numbers behind it. Thousands, not 10's or 100's.

well said +1

I thought PA was "shall issue". The ability to arbitrarily deny people a permit based on what the govt feels about a person's "character" sounds similar to NJ's "justifiable need" clause. This effectively would make it a "may issue" state?

What is this "character provision" they are talking about regarding the PA LTCF that apparently FL lacks. They are hinging their entire argument on this provision saying it will "weed out the bad guys".

I calculated that I was saving around .40 cents per round over commercial when I reload match .308 rounds. That comes to around a $8 savings per box of 20. Sure it will take me reloading 87 boxes worth (1750 rounds) to break even on the equipment purchase, but that will definitely come in time.

I wouldn't worry too much about the turbo. My friend had 220K on his 05' WRX with the original turbo, he sold it since but not b/c it was broken or anything. Also, the turbo pretty easy to change, and you get them rebuilt or swapped as a core, so its not too expensive. My WRX has been modded since 10K miles (has 110K now). VF30 turbo, STI injectors, larger intercooler, full exhaust except headers, walbro fuel pump, and of course ECU reprogramming /tune. I've been doing 6,000-7,000 mile oil changes using synthetic oil for the past 5 years or so, usually Amsoil synthetic XL oil with Amsoil Ea filters. Once in awhile I'll use Penzoil Platinum synthetic if I don't have Amsoil around. My friend who had 220K on his was doing 10,000 mile oil changes since he was doing mostly highway.

I have my Subaru WRX wagon now for 11 years. It's my commuter/beater car now. Only had to replace the alternator, and just a few weeks ago the steering rack. About $1800 in repair costs over its lifetime to date. I do normal maintenance myself, but other stuff like the timing belt/water pump I pay the mechanic for. Same goes for transmission fluid changes as I don't have the flushing machine , nor do I want to deal with disposal of the fluid. I also have a 06' G35 that is a garage/fair weather queen. It still looks and drives like brand new. As much as I'd love to have a new car every 4-5 years, I just can't justify the loss. The longer you can keep a car going with minimal repair costs.. the better value you get. For the WRX, I've calculated with all maintenance and repairs including tires, that so far over the life of the car it comes out to $278 per month. For every month that I keep it, that number edges down , of course barring unforeseen repairs. If repairs do start eating into that long term value, time for a new one.

Also, check with the ranges where you plan on shooting it if you get one. I've heard of indoor ranges have signage up saying that 5.7x28 using guns are not allowed.

OP, I'd do as other said and check the bus rules and regs. Otherwise there are no restrictions on the type of vehicle or method of conveyance you use to transport a gun, provided you adhere to the statutes on transport, aka unloaded, in a secure case, no unreasonable deviations, etc. Airguns are protected under federal law. It supposedly provides preemption superseding any and all State and local laws on BB , paint ball, or pellet air guns. NJ and most likely NYC doesn't care and treats them as firearms. You can be charged with firearm violations under firearm statutes in NJ, and it is your dime and know-how to invoke the federal law in court to prove yourself innocent. http://www.law.corne...01----000-.html

Technically the auto ordnance AOM130 "should" be legal according to the NJAC AWB evil feature list test. Sad to say, the current AG ignores their own guidelines, and is trying to put teeth back into the previously struck "unconstitutionally vague" via NJ case law AWB statute based on guns being "substantially identical" to the named list. As glennp stated, you won't find a dealer that wants to be the test case on this one, and I don't blame them.

Even though its just a commercial, and those are paid actors... I still can't help but feel embarrassed for them.

You got it Vlad. I know we butt heads at times, and many many of these hypothetical discussions are just that.. and comes down to personal opinion and subjective thinking. I respect everyone's opinion no matter how argumentative things get. I know I tend to read into things, and many times my interpretations do not come out to be what we want to hear. It is my theory that getting into the head of the enemy per-say allows me to better understand what we are up against in NJ. When our idiotic gun laws are stretched to the limits of their interpretations, their true ridiculousness comes to light.

There is a whole statute section on the temporary transfer of firearms for training purposes.. which defines what a training situation/circumstance is. In other words, you can't use the defense "I was just training, so I can temporarily xfer at any location" without proving you meet the criteria in 2C:58-3.2. You have to be a credentialed instructor, during the participation in a course, and in a place designated appropriate for training.
