Carried my Taurus PT709 "slim" with +p PowRball ammunition. Gun belt from The Belt Man, and OWB holster from Side Guard Holsters. Took some getting used to, but it was a great setup. Easily concealable with an outside worn shirt or equivalent. As for the signage in PA, AFAIK The owner of property for which signs are clearly posted can simply ask you to leave and you must comply and/or call the cops on you and charge you with trespassing if they wanted to. I didn't see a single place in Philly have such signs, except for some of the historical buildings on Federal property.

If I was looking for a 200 yard AR style heavy hitting rifle that takes standard AR mags (just have to change out the follower), I would go no further than the .450 Bushmaster.

Yup, i checked before doing it. It was all rumors, and as the other posters stated , any law Philly makes that contradicts state laws is illegal. I was aware that I could be harassed, but I was concealed carry , so chances were minimal.

Did an overnight trip with friends to the historical/social part of Philly this weekend. Decided to finally ccw with my Utah permit fir the first time. I have to say I was nervous at first, but then felt empowered while exercising my rights. The only time I ran into a roadblock was with some federal property historical exibit buildings that had posted scary federal law signs saying they do not allow firearms on the premises (5-10 years in prison). I respect the rights of private property owners that post such signs (most they can do is have you charged with trespassing in most cases), but the federal govt? If anything, federal property should be adhering to 2A rights more than anything else, IMO.

3 Forms. The HG/FID form, the SBI NJSP background check form, and the mental health check form. Anything else they "mandate" AFAIK is not within their authority.

PA and Vortex SPARC are both top on my list if I choose to go with an affordable non-top tier manufacturer alternative.

I was looking at this stuff as a wound cleanser. Made by 3M. My link

NJ can't control the purchase of HG ammo outside of its boundaries. Nor are there any laws around transporting HG ammo (only "hollow point"). Thus my interpretation is that NJ can only enforce its laws when HG ammo is sold or transferred within its boundaries. If you go to PA and buy a bunch of HG ammo, AFAIK it is legal to transport back to your home in NJ. I can't find it now, but I remember reading that FOPA somehow protected ammunition sales through mail order (interstate commerce). I will search around for it when I have a chance. .22 ammo can be considered HG ammo by some dealers in NJ, thus requiring you are 21 and have an FID card, etc. Almost all rifle/HG ammo could be used in either or these days, and just further points out how stupid NJ's laws are. HG's are different as there are federal laws dictating that HG transfers must be done through an FFL in your state of residency. Also federal law stipulates that long guns you can buy anywhere, but the seller in the other state has to follow NJ's laws regarding checking FID and filling out the COE, etc. Old info for most here I know, but thought it was worth mentioning.

I agree with Malsua, especially on handguns. Its a pain even after you get your FID in NJ to buy additional handguns down the line. 2 forms, a money order, waiting a long time, then 1 HG per month, also reference letters get sent out again to your references.. then they don't respond timely, or the PD claims they dont... etc My advice is to stock up on any HG's you want in the short term while still living in ohio.

In my book, everyone works for him or herself as well. Put 2+2 together.

I have 2 in my home SHTF kit. Never used it before, but all the reading I did before purchasing indicates these puppies can and do save lives.

I'm against using that title for the forum.

When you bring them into NJ, make sure you go DIRECTLY to your new home/apartment/dwelling, etc. Just keep in mind, guns are generally illegal in NJ, except under very narrow exemptions that the laws provide for. Brush up on this : My link Get an NJ FID card as soon as you can. You don't need it to own the guns and use them under exemptions, but it will allow you to buy new long guns, handgun ammo, and also affords certain other exemptions. This is the important one to know when living in NJ with guns: Welcome to the PRNJ!

Talk about conflicting stories between the media, coroner, and police. Something tells me this is not a clear cut self defense case, sounds more like a murder and this guy is trying to use self defense as a hail mary in an attempt to avoid doing the time.

This is subscribing to the "its not illegal unless you get caught" mentality. You could apply this logic to all sorts of things, especially NJ's convoluted gun laws. Bottom line is anyone is taking a risk by acquiring HG ammo in NJ without having an FID.

Thanks guys. I'll submit to the SB212A being within their power according to the laws. I also agree that the post 2 years process of making you go through the entire "Initial" process is not within their authority. I will submit this to NJ2AS Operation Compliance for review.

Thanks Paul!

Check out Legend Firearms in Marlboro, very reasonable prices for xfers. I recommend getting two receivers at the same time, they will be covered under the single NICS and FFL fees being paid, probably save on shipping also. Plus you will want another AR eventually anyway. ;p http://njgunforums.com/forum/index.php?/forum/124-legend-firearms-marlboro-nj/

I just got back from the Old Bridge Municipal building to check out what they need for additional pistol permits. Within 2 years you must submit an SBI212A form and pay and $18 fee to NJSP in the form of a money order (what a pain in the a**) After two years they want you to go through the entire initial FID process with the fingerprints from Sagem Morpho Universal (no mention of fees from them I'm attaching their form here. Do you guys think this fall outside of what they can do based on the statutes? I feel both items do according to the research I've done. PDF of Old Bridge's handout

As other posters contributed regarding genny maintenance, A new genny, you should change the oil after the first 20 hours or so of use (break in period). After that change it after every 100 hours. As another poster stated , you can go longer if you use a good synthetic oil and/or it has an oil filter. Air cleaner should be cleaned every 200 hours or so, replaced when beyond cleanable.

SUV guy got medieval on that kid's a**.

Looks like a great bargain to me considering it doesn't need much work to convert it especially the gas system. I personally like how it comes with the threads, as I like the 74 style brake look. The only problem I see could be making 922r being it appears everything is Russian made. So once the pistol grip goes on, I assume you would have to replace a bunch of other little things to get US made parts on it... thus running the cost back up.

Checked out leatherman MUT edit: more a general purpose tool with AR functions...

You would want to get the headspace checked or do it yourself before firing. Pay a smith to do it, or you can pick up a set of coin-type shims (or borrow someone's) specifically for 7.62x54R, they make it easy. Such as these here.

Comon guys, we all know there are no "AK Variants" sold in NJ. There are semi-automatic rifles that share some cosmetic styling with AK types that are legal in NJ.
