The container would technically be the assembled belt (object being used to hold ammunition), thus if the assembled belt is capable of holding more than 15 rounds that can be fed continuously into a SA firearm, it could potentially meet the definition of a "large capacity magazine" according to NJ law. I don't think the dummy round thing would work, as that would be akin to having a 30 round box magazine, and loading it with 15 dummy and 15 live rounds. Maybe if you smashed or pinned a dowel the 16th link, that would work, as it would be incapable of being used to feed more than 15 rounds continuously. This would be like putting a block/pin/etc (legal for owners in NJ to do, but not for dealers since they have to follow NJAC revised definition of the statutes) in a 30rnd box mag to make it only take 15 rounds. con·tain·erNoun/kənˈtānər/ 1. An object that can be used to hold or transport something.

I thought about this one also. To most people, if you showed them a belt and asked them what it is, they would not respond with "a type of container". That being said, looking up the definition of "container", here is the only way i can see it applying... The most basic definition of a container is "An object that can be used to hold or transport something", thus if the belt (object) is used to hold more than 15 rounds to be fed continuously, then it would apply. "y."Large capacity ammunition magazine" means a box, drum, tube or other container which is capable of holding more than 15 rounds of ammunition to be fed continuously and directly therefrom into a semi-automatic firearm."

I don't know what it is, but I do know that I want one. I make it a point to only purchase "high powered" items.

My opinion: 5.56 out of a 14.5 or 16" barrel for a general purpose range gun that can also be used for HD. Load up some specialty ammo for HD use. If you want to get into precision type shooting over 300 yards, I would then look at 7.62 platforms. Then again, I would not use 7.62 for HD. The same rules for 5.56 through drywall do not apply to 7.62.

edit: I was a minute late, Malsua got it.

Bravo Company FTW. Check this out. Have a smith pin on a NJ friendly brake, slap on some handguards of your choice and you're set. The plus is the BCM (excellent reputation), and a mid-length gas system which IMO is far better than the carbine length system.

I had a feeling they would go up, its why I was 2nd on your list Chris.

I'm not condoning anything in this thread, and I personally took it as a whimsical "what-if" game to be played with NJ gun laws, nothing more. What's with the rhetoric on how the thread is pointless/stupid/should be locked/etc? Don't have anything nice to say just don't say it. Its a free forum, and anything goes lest it's inappropriate or illegal. If people don't like a thread, then don't read or respond to it, or create your own new thread to discuss your counterpoints on how you feel on the subject of people posting content that you personally feel is silly and shouldn't be on the forums. We'll see how far that one gets!

IMO, a solution to a problem that doesn't exist. I've never tried one before, but even so, if I wanted better managed recoil in my .357 mag revolver, I'd just load .38 special, or light .357 loads. Otherwise, I'm not really into firing full magnum power 158gr JSP's all day long in rapid succession to warrent needing such an unconventional design. On the coolness/something different side, defiantly has the +1 in that area. As for the RFID part, NO THANKS. They claim it is for inventory purposes, but then why don't they attach it with a small wire or rope around the trigger guard rather than hide it under the grip as they have proposed they will be doing.

You will like the .357sig round. I'm personally addicted.

In Ukraine... flight schedules you! I know is not the same, but close enough ;p

For me the point of the article is to not to expect a bad guy to be completely incapacitated from causing me or loved ones further harm after shooting them; also, shooting them more (as much as possible up to the point of keeping a few rounds in reserve for other bad guys) in quick consecutive fashion increases the odds of them NOT being able to continue their aggression.

When you are ready to make the purchases and start down the path on reloading, you should post here asking for help. Many will offer their assistance in getting you started. I for one am a testament to the forums here. I knew nothing about reloading, and now I reload .308 and .223. I even had a member come over my house to show me the ropes (Thanks Pizza Bob!).

Hypothetical gun law fun! The OP's "printing" situation is pretty far fetched, but IMO even if the cop had a good reason to someone is CCW'ing on their own property, that is not grounds for him/her to take action unless that person goes on public property. Yes you can carry on your own property, loaded even according to exemptions as many have pointed out. That doesn't mean that the scared sheeple that live around you won't call the cops, claiming they are under duress and feel threatened that you are carrying a pistol/rifle around outside and how they "could have swore you were taking aim at their house" or something to that effect. Instantly that can turn into an aggravated assault, terroristic threats, or some bogus disorderly conduct/disturbing the peace type of charge. LE in NJ will have no problem arresting anyone in these circumstances, as they have an entire mountain of anti-gun govt bureaucracy behind them to back them up. The "victim" would have to later prove in court that they were within exemptions, and not acting in a threatning manner. Unfortunately in NJ, I have a feeling that a jury composed of NJ sheeple would take simply carrying your gun outside, uncovered, on your person would be enough to constitute "threatening behavior" even if it was within exemptions.. that would only mean they can't charge you with illegal possession. Of course I'm assuming the typical NJ suburb where people live nearly on top of each other, with neighbors not knowing the first names of the people they lived next door to for 15 years.

edited... My advice would be to get a security camera system with a DVR. They are fairly inexpensive now. Even costco carries them. Since you don't own the home, using them internally is your only option. Mount them so they have clear views out of your windows to areas where the thug likes to hang out, especially the driveway where your car is. You may also want to carry a small digital sound recorder with you, or set your phone to record vid/audio anytime you interact with him. I'm sure you will build up enough evidence for your landlord to take action, or at the minimum get the restraining order. As others said, the PD can look up his plate number. That detective you spoke to sounds like he didn't want to be bothered.

So would this be liberal/socialist using guns to kill tea party members? In their world, they wouldn't have access to such weapons, and the zombies would have free healthcare and welfare checks to purchase all the brains and beer they wanted to eat and drink.

Example 2 is what I'm talking about. You went to the range in PA at 2pm and coming home at 6pm to NJ. NJ exemptions are only in effect while in NJ, so the "direct to and from" only applies when you leave and re-enter the border. You could stop for food and go sightseeing while in PA, provided that when you re-enter NJ, you go directly home. How could NJ prove that you were "indirectly" going home. Regardless, we all know NJ laws can be twisted to allow the state to press charges, and the only sure thing is that with both NJ laws and even FOPA, you may be in a situation where you have to defend yourself in court to prove that you are in the right. Many NJ gun laws are written to be "guilty until proven innocent". This is why I would double up on my travels with the HG to PA. Adhere to NJ and FOPA rules, and the state would have little grounds on an illegal possession charge.

FOPA also requires the gun and ammo to be locked in separate cases or locked vehicle compartment, maybe even the ammo. To be safe, a lockbox for both the pistol and ammo would be 110%. I don't see having the ammo in magazines being a problem as federal law does not stipulate that. I would also travel under NJ exemptions just to be double protected. Identify and plan to stop at a gun range or shop in PA during your trip, this way you are covered under the NJ HG travel exemption of going to a range or place of repair. Also, with FOPA, you could still be arrested, then have to later on raise the FOPA federal law to clear yourself, as described below. My link

This should clarify things... Also, Philly has no legal right to further place firearm restrictions other than what PA at the state level does already. My link

Just an interesting note, this rifle was $359 back in April from J&G. Now selling for $499. I wonder what's the deal with the mark-up. My link

Congrats! Where are you going in Mexico. Me and my wife went to Cabo for ours, was a great time.

This has been a long standing argument. Some argue that NJ travel exemptions with HG's do not include "taking the HG out of state to CCW", only to ranges, places of repair, etc. Some argue that FOPA protects you as long as you adhere to the travel rules , locked in a box unloaded, etc. Some say FOPA won't protect you as they feel it only protects you while traveling through intermediary states, where you have to obey the originating and destination state's local laws. Then some say just "plan" to go to a range in the state you are planning on taking your HG to, this way you adhere to NJ's exemptions and all is good.

I don't get it, McDonald v Chicago AFAIK has ruled that the whole "public safety" argument for restricting a civil right is moot to a large extent. This is the old tired argument that anti's have been using for decades in further restricting 2A rights. It is obvious that this judge is just playing to the old tune and ignoring massively important SCOTUS precedence. My link

Gun laws are indeed needed in order to deter the misuse of guns (enforce responsibility)...Those that pertain to misusing guns in an unlawful manner to cause harm and duress, or those that acted in such a way in the past that they have lost their right to own a gun (VIOLENT un-expunged past felonies for example). Unlawfully murder, harm, threaten, assault , etc with a gun and the book should be thrown at that person. Just like any other individual right... misuse it for illegal purposes, and it will be punished and taken away from you. Anti's love to use the yelling "fire" in a theater as an example that rights (1st amendment) need restrictions. I agree with them... with my above points on using guns to commit crimes. Both are examples of using individual rights for unlawful purposes, in this case yelling "fire" to cause a panic and thus harm those in the theater.

AFAIK, there is wording that if your state provides for its own permits, then you have to have your own resident state's permit to be legal in your own state. As in you CAN'T live in NJ and use your non-resident FL permit to carry within NJ. The reason is that NJ does in fact have a permit system for carrying a HG, even though it is a farce and completely unconstitutional. It should be knocked down in court over the next year or so with the SAF/ANJRPC lawsuit. Just have to wait.
