national reciprocity and paul ryan
I heard the same thing. I believe he said that the climate is not right for that bill. I've seen nothing but promises, promises from the GOP, and like many, I am becoming increasingly frustrated with them. It seems that our voices just aren't heard.

Target Sports USA Reviews?
I have ordered from them many times and have never had a problem.

Where are the Clay Targets?
Oh no, a clay shortage! I never get down that far south in Jersey, but when I was at Dick's in Brick last week they had tons of them. Can you get them online?

New Range to open in Wayne
I saw this item, and thought the same thing about their potential difficulties in competing with GFH. For those who recall, some people had issues with stated policies when RTSP first opened, but the owners were responsive to the suggestions of their patrons.

Where and which M&P 15/22
Here's a hot deal on one that's GTG in NJ: https://www.sportsmansoutdoorsuperstore.com/products2.cfm/ID/179405/10207/smith-and-wesson-mp15-22-sport-22lr-semi-auto-rimfire-rifle-(compliant-model---fixed-stock)

Virginia gun laws
It has always amazed me how much the ACLU loves the First Amendment, but hates the Second. I'm guessing they like #'s 3-10 as well, but they struggle with that pesky Second.

Mastadon open for business...
I've bought several guns from them. Good folks, and they give their customers a fair shake.

And it's gone...
Nice project. Best of luck with it. Yes, it often pays to go with the professionals.

Looking to buy an AK!
I don't have the SAM, so I can't compare, but I have a Saiga and a CR39V and I love them both. I like the traditional wood look on my AK's, even though most of my other rifles are black polymer. I have cheap Primary Arms RDS's on both of them. I'm able to make head shots at 100 yards with cheap Russian ammo, and I'm not even very good. Now I fear I'm going to end up having to get the SAM7.

BK trigger upgrade EZ replacement for 10/22
I put a BX trigger in one of my 10/22's. (I have a couple of them.) Installation was a breeze, and that's coming from someone who's not a real DIY guy. I find the trigger to be very light. Feels like when I just touch it the gun fires. Took a little getting used to, but between that and a Busnell TRX-25 RDS, the gun is really fun to shoot. I picked it up on sale for $179, so it's literally a lot of bang for the buck

Federal DC Circuit Court of Appeals Rejects DC "Good Reason" Statutes
Interesting question. When the Ninth Circuit ruled against the so-called Trump travel ban, the ruling applied across the entire nation, not just in their district.

Federal DC Circuit Court of Appeals Rejects DC "Good Reason" Statutes
Well, that certainly sounds like good news! Seems like no way a case like this does not end up being heard by SCOTUS before too long.

Interesting article about 'hacking smart' guns
Can we get a copy of that to Loretta Weinberg and her friends? I particularly found it troubling that it could be easily disabled, which is something I've always suspected.

Another AR-15 Newbie Thread
Definitely can't go wrong with a Colt! I was going to get one, but have decided to wait until a get out of NJ so I can get one that hasn't been neutered by our state's oppressive laws.

Picked up a previously loved S&W 15-22
I've had one for about five years, and it's still a lot of fun to shoot. The only mod I've made is the addition of a Bushnell TRS-25 RDS. It has been incredibly reliable with CCI AR Tactical ammo. Whenever I take new shooters to the range (like I did yesterday), it's everyone's favorite gun to shoot

Another AR-15 Newbie Thread
From my experience Stag Arms has been a good bang for the buck. (Gun puns are so easy!). Bought mine around five years ago for $850, have run it through lots of training classes and thousands of rounds, and it's been flawless. And I'm not particularly meticulous about maintenance. The thing has been a veritable beast for me.

"Cheap" Red Dot?
I think it depends a lot on what you're trying to do. I have an Aimpoint PRO on my AR that I have run through a lot of hard training classes, and it has never failed me. I believe the battery life is somewhere around 50,000 hours. It would be my go-to in an SHTF situation. OTOH, I have a Sig Romeo 5 on one of my 9 mm carbines, some Primary Arms RDS's on my AK's, and some cheap Bushnells (under $100) on my .22's. (As I'm writing this, I'm thinking I should upgrade the sights on at least one of my AK's, as they would be incredibly dependable in a doomsday scenario, and I'm not good with their iron sights)

FWIW, Gunbuyer.com has the 9 mm with Glock 17 mags for $419 right now.

Tactical Training Center Range Flemington, NJ
Anyone care to comment on the training classes there? Are they worth the time and travel distance (an hour and a half for me)?

Flying with a handgun?
I've flown out of Newark with a handgun a number of times now, and never had a problem; however I've been strongly advised against flying out of the NY airports with a firearm. My biggest challenge was a couple of years ago when I was traveling with both a handgun and my wife for the first time together. She was a bit miffed that I felt the need to be armed on vacation. I explained that I was just looking out for her safety and well-being. The ticket agent led us over to the TSA area and instructed us to wait outside while they were checking to be sure the gun was unloaded and properly stowed. Luckily for me, there was another couple standing there with us. I asked the guy if he was in law enforcement. He told me that was not, but that he just liked taking a gun with him when he traveled. Made me look a lot more normal to my wife, and she has been fine with it ever since.

I was seriously considering it, but looks like I'm going to be working that day. Have fun!

Ballistol
Haven't heard anyone mention Break-Free CLP. I've used that frequently for years, and it seems to work OK. (I also use Ballistol and Hoppes at times.)
