  1. Chiropractors are great they adjust the most adjustable part of your body. Since they are doing fine adjustment work, it is an art more than a science. So some are hacks and some are really amazingly good. It all depends on if they have the innate ability to do it well. Think of a good Chiropractor as being like a carburetor guru or a marksman. Some have the gift to make a complicated job look natural and some dont. Some just pop backs others know just how to adjust you to make you better. Find a good one. I have been to 5 in my life and only two of them were good but those two were really really good. Modern medicine doesn't like nonstandardized personalized service that involves real skill and a bit of experienced intuition, which is why chiropractors get marginalized. Modern medicine is all about measurement and standardized procedures. Chiropractic isn't like that. Give it a shot with several chiropractors before you consider surgery.

  2. Good question-does anyone know if the 50 cal ban pending in the legislature applies to muzzleloaders too? Sent from my DROID2 GLOBAL using Tapatalk 2
  3. Technically you can expunge an arrest record too. You can even expunge an investigation file on you that did not even lead to an arrest. The expunged records go to a special warehouse where they are only looked at for certain reasons like applying for a law license or sentencing after a subsequent conviction, but otherwise are not obtainable and deemed to legally not exist. This is something you can do without a lawyer if you can get to the courthouse during the day and do all the paperwork. Sent from my DROID2 GLOBAL using Tapatalk 2
  4. Do everything you would do if it were a firearm, because it is a firearm in NJ. If it is a rifle do the certificate of eligibility. If pistol get a purchase permit. Transport it with all legalities you would observe if it were a cartridge firing firearm, at least while in NJ Sent from my DROID2 GLOBAL using Tapatalk 2
  5. With a police id card you can carry in all 50 states. The best permit that exists short of a us marshal deputy id. Sent from my DROID2 GLOBAL using Tapatalk 2
  6. Kroil penetrating oil maybe? PB Blaster?
  7. Her guns are hers and your guns are yours. If you own no guns, hers are still not yours unless and until you and her do a formal documented transfer for a specific gun. And if you can't legally do a transfer because you dont have a card yet, then you can't touch them except if you are with her at the range or if she is a firearm instructor giving you instruction. It is stupid but that is how the law works. You have to look at it as two different things-transfer and possession. Just because generally speaking you could possess a gun while driving to the range is one thing quite and apart of whether you did an illegal transfer by taking her specific gun with you when you went to the range without her being with you. There is no borrowing guns in this state. Since these are all felonies, be careful. Good luck to you on your application. Hire a lawyer and fight it if you are denied.

  8. The state police say separate containers but the statutes do not say that. However there is no statutory definition of loaded in new jersey. Which means the state police will probably argue that a gun is loaded if there is ammo with it in the same container. Would a judge agree? Maybe. Do you want to find out? No. In PA a gun is loaded if a magazine containing ammo is in the same container unless the magazine is itself in a container such as a magazine holster. The laws vary by state. Would be nice if we had it spelled out in statute here but we dont. If we did, they would probably enact the safety rule that a gun is always loaded and hence not transportable at all.

  9. I dont know of any requirement that you keep paperwork, just that you execute it at the time of the transfer. Remember if the law asks you where you purchased a firearm your default thought process should be to refuse volunteering any information in the first place. The police have no right to interrogate you. Moreover, five years is the limitation period for prosecution under New Jersey and the feds. So you could have bought something without a COE more than five years ago and it doesn't matter. Even if it was a crime it is time barred. So long as your present possession is legal, there is no basis for the law asking you how you acquired it originally. So keeping papers for five years makes sense but if you lose them somehow it wouldn't be anything to lose sleep over. Sent from my DROID2 GLOBAL using Tapatalk 2
  10. How are you sure the NJ police wont call it a destructive device if they find it in your house? Does it come with an ATF opinion letter that says it is not a federally controlled item? It could be considered to be an unloaded bazooka. An unloaded bazooka is a federally controlled item like a machine gun. You might want to check with a class 3 dealer to see what the legalities of it are federally so you have an argument if it is seized in your house in NJ. I wouldn't be so quick to declare that object to be Jersey legal. It might be but for goodness sake be certain first. Sent from my DROID2 GLOBAL using Tapatalk 2
  11. 30-06. Savage 110 or Winchester 70 You can find "Post 64" Winchester Model 70s used for decent prices. They are good rifles which got a bum rap because after 1964 they don't have controlled feed. So what - neither does the Savage or the Remington. I'm getting leery at buying a brand new Remington. The Freedom Group is cutting corners on quality. So if you are going for new, I say go for the Savage.
  12. Put ads on it! Nothing wrong with making some money to defray expenses. Sent from my DROID2 GLOBAL using Tapatalk 2
  13. You can get compressed air (nitrogen) intended to blow dust out of keyboards at wall mart. Works good if you dont have an air compressor. Sent from my DROID2 GLOBAL using Tapatalk 2
  14. If it really was a machine gun, they would be in federal prison for years and years.

  16. If the person in PA is close you can drive over there and meet him at a PA FFL dealer and do the transfer there, and you would have it in hand immediately and be able to inspect it before you pay as well. Sent from my DROID2 GLOBAL using Tapatalk 2
  17. Probably easier to pay 30 bucks annual membership plus 30 bucks initiation and make the trip to Easton Fish and Game than get clearance to do this at Cherry Ridge. Sent from my DROID2 GLOBAL using Tapatalk 2
  18. NEF Handi Rifle. Simplest thing in the world. Sent from my DROID2 GLOBAL using Tapatalk 2
  19. FPID cannot be taken away from you without an order from a judge. So just moving doesn't mean anything. This whole DL matching FPID may be required by the police for a gun purchase but it doesn't mean the card is not valid. Sent from my DROID2 GLOBAL using Tapatalk 2
  20. Seems to me she might suddenly decide the laws are not similar even though her predecessor found they were and the laws have not changed. But who needs laws? We can't insist the attorney general follow laws can we? Sent from my DROID2 GLOBAL using Tapatalk 2
  21. Isn't there a lower mag limit for shotguns? Sent from my DROID2 GLOBAL using Tapatalk 2
  22. The best way to look at it is do you want to pay a lawyer to be making all of the arguments people are making here in court for $250 an hour, to a judge who doesn't care, while you are held in prison or out on bail and unemployed because you lost your job because you were arrested? Because if the answer to the above is no, then dont buy any magazine that could be large enough to fit more than fifteen. If you can live with the scenario in the first paragraph above, have fun with your rivets, pins, etc. Or better yet forget about ruining perfectly good mags with modifications of questionable legality and just bury them somewhere or keep them out of state instead of destroying them.

    No disrespect and I am saying this because I want you to be safe-if you are asking questions as basic as these please go buy a book on muzzleloading and read it fully before you try loading and firing your gun. When it comes to muzzleloading a little knowledge is dangerous. Sent from my DROID2 GLOBAL using Tapatalk 2
  24. The fact that it does take time and care and effort and attention to reload also makes you appreciate each shot more. You pay more attention for each shot and mentally push yourself to be more accurate and frugal in your shooting. Just blasting downrange seems like more of a waste when you are mindful it took you a couple hours to load up the day's batch and you want to see how accurate it is.

  25. This is why they enacted the castle doctrine in most states. Really it is unreasonable to force you to have to make these kind of calculations because someone decides to break into your house. It is better for society to put the public on notice - break into a house and you are presumed to have intent to commit serious bodily harm and are likely to get shot. It is good policy all around. Burglary ought to be an ultra high risk "profession". The Castle Doctrine statutes do not say you can shoot anyone who breaks into your house. What it does is it shifts the burden of proof - the presumption is that anyone breaking into your house intends to harm you, unless the state proves to the contrary that they were no threat to you. If it is clear that the person posed no threat and you shot them in your house, then under the castle doctrine it is still murder and you still go to jail. There always needs to be a threat. It is just that in New Jersey, you have to prove the threat existed. In castle doctrine states, the state has to prove there was no threat. The way I see it, since nobody is going to be able to comply with the letter of the law under a stressful circumstance like this, follow your inner morality, your inner instinct to protect yourself, your loved ones. Don't do something that doesn't seem right to you. Your own morality is the only thing you will have in a stressful situation. And if you do get in trouble afterward for what you did, you can at least state to the prosecutor, judge, jury, your god, your family, everyone, that you did what you believe is right and you stand behind it 100%. Then if they charge you, can at least get on the stand, testify honestly, and see if you can get judged correctly by 12.
