Rep. Steve Scalise shot in Virginia
Yes, if only we could pass that perfect gun control law, on top of the 1000's of existing gun laws, we could prevent incidents like this in the future. This morning The Bergen Record was calling for stricter gun laws, the pundits at MSNBC (particularly Mika) were claiming that Trump's "harsh rhetoric" is what caused this, and Chris Cuomo and Alysin Camerota over at CNN were back to droning on and on about how we need to get to the bottom of the Russian conspiracy.

Rep. Steve Scalise shot in Virginia
Was just going to report that. He said there are too many guns, and that we need universal background checks. Wow, they don't waste a moment to have that response! He claimed 93 million people a day are injured a day from gun violence. He repeated it a couple of times, before correcting himself and saying it's 93 people a day.

Ruger 10/22 - what difference does the model/barrel make?
The standard barrel is plenty accurate for plinking and target shooting from 50 yards and in. You can pick one up for under $200 currently, and have a lot of fun with it right out of the box.

Happy National Donut Day!
I'm sorry to sound nutritionally sanctimonious, but I got coffee at DD this morning and declined the donut.

Serious Threats
According to the State of NJ, since the incident is over, there's no more threat. Which clearly points out the absurdity of the law. There was a terrorist bombing down the street from my house in Seaside Park. Does that qualify as a "serious threat"?

Kel Tec Sub 2000
Target Sports USA has a few left in 9 mm. They dropped the price to $449 from the $499 I paid a few weeks ago https://www.targetsportsusa.com/kel-tec-sub-2000-9mm-semi-automatic-rifle-glock17-17-round-in-black-kt2k9glk17ds-p-58691.aspx

When you get pulled over ?
Coincidentally, I just got pulled over again this morning. I had just left my house, running late for work, and as I went a little too quickly up the hill around the corner from my house, I spotted the unmarked car of our local PD. When I saw him pull out, I immediately pulled over and got my documents ready. He was polite and professional, and when I explained my situation, he treated me kindly. I expressed my sincere gratitude. The unloaded shotgun in the back of my vehicle was never a subject of conversation.

When you get pulled over ?
I see what you did there. Actually, as far as I know, I don't think it's illegal to lie to the police. Yes, definitely against the law to lie to the FBI. I'm not a lawyer, so don't bet too much on this.

When you get pulled over ?
I've been driving for nearly 50 years, and have been pulled over by police a number of times. But I have never been asked if I had firearms in my car. I supposed when they ask where you're coming from (as they almost always seem to do), and you say you're returning from a gun range, that might be a logical question. I had not thought of that response, but I kind of like it.

Go Ruck Tough Challenge
Lol! Yes, I am pretty old. Just turned 65 last week, and my "younger" buddy will be 64 in a few months. We're just hoping to muddle through it. (No winged foot, as in my new avatar. More of a slow slog.)

Go Ruck Tough Challenge
Anyone here ever done one of these, or even heard of it? https://www.goruck.com/tough/ It's a team-building, military-style endurance challenge. A friend of mine and I are doing one this Saturday in Rockaway, NY. If anyone is interested, I'll post a report.

Tampa Gun Fights
That is pretty cool, but you can definitely do it in NJ. I just took a force on force class at Garden State Shooting Center a couple of months ago. And Gun for Hire is going to have F on F training at their new, expanded facility.

AR 15 AND AK - $899 for both !
This is absolutely true. Just asked them this a couple of weeks ago. Was the NJSP ruling reversal more recent than that?

AR 15 AND AK - $899 for both !
Yes, beat me to it. I was eying them lusfully, but was told they are a no-go in NJ, presumably because they are stamped PSAK-47.

Gun cleaning
Love it! Finally, a logical justification for my bad behavior.

Gun cleaning
Holy crap, I barely clean the guns that I use, never mind the ones that I don't use! Does that make me a bad gun owner?

Can you shave with your axe?
I think a better question would be can you cut down a tree with your razor?

Steel targets at local ranges?
Not exactly an answer to your question, but Cherry Ridge has steel plates at 100 yards.
