Old Glock guy

I'm pretty sure NJ law precludes my having a handgun when I stay at my GF's house, as the only allowed places are a residence, business, range, or gunsmith; and travel between or among them. So my question is, would it be legal to have a shotgun at her house if I'm there? I realize I would have to take it with me when I leave, otherwise it would be an illegal transfer. This is all probably theoretical, as it's unlikely she would let me in the door with it, but just planning ahead and wondering. I believe this was discussed awhile ago with a member staying at his father's house, but I was unable to unearth that thread with any of my searches.

Sorry I couldn't make it. Sounds like it was a good time. Oh, and you'll love the G34!

Hey, I'll be the first to admit that I'm no gunsmith, but if you suspect the mag is the problem, it would seem logical to pick up another one and see what happens. Worst case if it turns out it wasn't the mag, you end up with a spare, which is not such a bad thing.

No applicable statute, to the best of my knowledge. In fact, I believe there was a recent court case supporting that the state cannot mandate storage requirements for firearms. Perhaps someone else can cite the case.

Welcome from Wayne. And yes, Luciano's on McBride Ave. is going to be great for you.

That would be funny, if it weren't so damn scary.

Wombat, IMHO you're allowing yourself to be needlessly sucked into a statistical duel, which then becomes a matter of who can best manipulate the numbers to support their cause. How about: We have a Constitutionally guaranteed right in this country to be able to have and use firearms to defend ourselves against sociopathic predators, who will always be armed, whether we are or not. If the antis want to change that, they would need to pass a Constitutional amendment, and I certainly don't see that happening.

Yes, and holy crap, when I came to a rotary, I felt like my head was going to explode from having to concentrate on so many things!

Funny, I'm sure that's the first thought we all had when we read the heading.

I've been DVR'ing everything and fast forwarding through it all to watch the track and field. I just don't have time for any more than a glimpse at some of those other events. Hey Krdshrk, big improvemnt in your avatar since you became a moderator. Maybe one of these days I'll figure out how to get one.

You can only go up there legally with long guns. Transporting a hand gun there from NJ is prohibited by NY law.

Hope you make a speedy recovery, and that you're back to shooting sometime soon.

To the OP, here's a popular farewell from another website: "It's been fun, but there is just too much negative energy here and too many new a**holes who post bullsh*t and lots of great people who used to post all the time who have left or gone underground. I'm out. Life is too short. I'll be in kona. Hope to see some of you there. Paolo knows how to find me."

All of the above are great suggestions, plus Galway is a pretty cool town. Additionally, people say you really haven't had a Guinness until you've had it in Ireland. Be sure to enjoy it at basement temperature as the locals do, not from that tap that's extra cold for Americans.

I didn't want to start a whole new thread with this question, so I'll just tag along on this one. I don't plan to shoot a lot of trap and skeet, but I tried it a few weeks ago at Thunder Mountain, and it was kind of fun. I used their shotguns, but I was wondering if I could just throw a 28" barrel on my Mossberg 500 (current one is 20") and go at it. Would I need a particular kind of choke, or could I just use whatever comes with the barrel?

Wow! How do we get that to go viral to get that information out?

I couldn't agree more. I said the same thing on another thread. A few hundred rounds are plenty for someone bent on mayhem and destruction. Banning larger quantities is a needless restriction on law-abiding enthisiasts like us.

Thanks for posting that article. The gist of it was this: "If you are looking for a Duty Weapon, Home Defense Shotgun or a fighting shotgun then I have three very important bits of advice for you. 1. Keep it basic 2. Keep it basic 3. Keep it basic." Tough to get more basic than this (although I guess you could get by without the breacher, but it looks pretty cool): http://www.mossberg.com/images/Mossberg_Guns/930/NEW/85330.jpg

Wombat, it's about time! As others have noted, the S&W 15-22 is a great choice. Plus, the controls are just about the same as on a "real" AR, so it's good training for when you get one (and I can almost guarantee that you will!). You're welcome to try mine sometime, perhaps at RTSP.

I had the opportunity to fondle a Mossberg 930 Tactical with ghost ring sights yesterday at Luciano's, and even though I already have two pump SG's, I could hear it calling to me. It costs about a third less than the Benelli. So far I've resisted its call, but I can feel myself weakening...

I'm currently sitting at a car dealer about a mile from there, having my vehicle serviced. Hoping to stop by on my way home

Welcome. Hey, nice name.

KevP, welcome to the board from north Jersey. See you up at CR!

I've found this book to be a good guide to dry-fire and Airsoft training. It's on sale this week for just $7, so it's tough to go wrong. Let me know what you think. I should be clear that I have no connection with this, it's just something I've found helpful. http://www.tacticalfirearmstrainingsecrets.com/special1?utm_source=House%20Email%20Promo&utm_medium=Dedicated%20Email&utm_term=&utm_content=&utm_campaign=[Firearms][House%20List][Dedicated%20Email][7-31-2012]&Contact0LeadSourceId=38

I love that Benelli M2 Tactical, but I just can't justify spending well over a thousand dollars for it when I already have a Mossberg 500 and 590A1.
