Old Glock guy

I'm not a builder, mostly out of laziness. I bought a Stag Arms Model 2 off the shelf 5 or 6 years ago, and it's been flawless. I mostly shoot targets with it, but I've run it through full day classes several times, and can't recall ever having an issue with it.

Maybe I missed it, but did they say anywhere what his EO is going to be? Is he going to ban illegal guns, or put an end to drive-by shootings?

Damn, that guy is good! We need more spokesmen like him. He hit it out of the park. Thanks so much for posting that.

Yes, I saw that article (mostly thanks to your pointing me to that website). People often forget that the Bill of Rights doesn't say what we're allowed to do, but what government is not allowed to do to us.

I'm not envisioning any market for 15 round magazines, except perhaps in Colorado. I believe one's options are these: 1.Hang onto them and hope to not get caught. This is pretty risky, as every firearms crime in NJ is a felony, so even if you could plea bargain to avoid jail time, you would lose the right to own guns in all 50 states. 2. Store them out of state in a place like Gunsitters. 3. Put them in a box or bag and give them to a friend who has a place out of NJ. Since they are not guns, I believe this would be legally OK, but perhaps some of our lawyers could weigh in on this. 4. Get a place in a free state and keep them there. (I'm leaning toward this one, but have not ruled out #'s 2 and 3.)

Not to derail this thread, but a guy I knew died recently, and his two sons divided his collection of 150+ guns. Visions of sugar plums dance in my head when I picture what that must have been like.

Gotta go with fishnut on this. I'm no wildlife expert, but that looks a lot like a bobcat to me.

Our side has all the logic. Their side has all the emotion. It's a tough battle to fight, but it seems that we could be doing a much better job of messaging, starting with the NRA.

So it turns out Justice Stevens doesn't believe in the Second Amendment, therefore he ruled against it. Isn't it the job of SCOTUS justices to rule on what the Constitution actually says, not what they wish it said? (Please take note, Justices Ginsberg, Kagan, Sotomayor, and Breyer.)

Good article! Nice irony.

I was picturing something more like this: http://enews.cdnnsports.com/q/6C9cq3SyKPwFyqaVO_YgcdqxHN6OFvq5ibIcJI28YOOeEDXQggQ6EhRDm

Anyone still watching? I thought last night's episode was pretty good. Nice blend of fighting in the presence of walkers, and hope for a peaceful future (which, of course, would be the end of the show). Good to see Rick and Negan finally going at it. Negan seemed to be handling the whole thing pretty well until Rick started messing with Lucille. Is Negan going to end up being a good guy, like in the old days of wrestling, when bad guys would occasionally become good guys, and vice versa?

Lol! Yeah, that and Esquire.

Imagine my disappointment when I found out they meant this: https://www.amazon.com/gp/browse.html/ref=pe_228220_276247900_pe_btn_b/?node=9988570011 I really need to get away from this gun stuff once in awhile!

I have the old Ruger PC 9 (Police Carbine). Picked it up used a couple of years ago. The thing is great! Easy to shoot, runs like a beast. Trying to decide if I need the new version.

Good piece! Did you write that or re-post it from somewhere? Because it's spot on, IMO.

I have a twisty thing lying around my house somewhere, something like this: https://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B0046F26LQ/ezvid02-20 Thanks for the reminder. I'm going to have to dig it out and start using it.

Handguns are illegal in NJ, unless one is in possession of a concealed carry permit, which is mostly non-existent. So the rest of us operate under the exemptions, i.e. traveling to and from the range, etc. That means the burden of proof is on us to prove our legality. Practically speaking, if one is stopped on the way to or from the range, there is no reason whatever to volunteer that there are guns in the car. Follow the sound advice offered by GRIZ above. It's not a bad idea to take a class and do a lot of reading on NJ gun laws, as virtually every violation is a felony.

I thought this week's episode was decent. I couldn't have imagined the show continuing without Carl, but it seems like it's going to be fine, just like in real life when someone dies. I liked the focus on how specific characters are dealing. Who couldn't enjoy watching Jadis make walker chili! And it looks like Simon is going to be in deep doo doo with Negan. I wonder if he's going to have a meeting with Lucille?

Absolutely right! SCOTUS ruled that since gay marriage, which is not mentioned at all in the Constitution, is allowed in some states, it must be allowed in all, to be consistent with equal protection under the law; yet some states, like NJ, can systematically deprive their citizens of the natural-born, Constitutionally protected, right to self-defense.

Agreed. A magazine limit would make (a little) more sense if there were not one already in place. First they told us 15 rounds were enough, now it's going to be ten. How much longer will it be until it's 5, 3, 1, 0? As I said in another thread, magazine limits make sense to them because they only look at guns as tools of evil. People use guns for self defense every day, but our brilliant legislators want to set limits on our ability to defend ourselves based on something that has never happened in this state.

It's like the two sides are always talking past each other. They insist on calling semiautomatic rifles with features that give them a military-like appearance "weapons of war (that don't belong on our streets)"

Magazine capacity limits make perfect sense to people who view guns only as tools of evil. If the sole purpose of guns is for bad people to kill good people, then it is logical to limit their capability or even ban them completely. We need to figure out how to message better for the masses to realize that guns are used to protect lives of innocent people far more often than they are used to take them. Plus, of course, there's that whole loss of logic, believing that murderers are going to comply with some arbitrary magazine limit.

Heads up: Both Brownells and PSA have them for $6.99 a box. Brownells is offering free shipping on $99+ (=15 boxes) with code MDV and PSA is giving free shipping for 10+ boxes.

Great deal! You can never have too much ammo.
