Old Glock guy

Yes, the "evil features" game. We're allowed one of the following (off the top of my head): pistol grip, flash hider, bayonet lug, collapsible stock. (Am I leaving any out?) When we get a Democratic governor next year, they will go to none, because that will keep the children so much safer.

Having read that earlier today, I suspected mine might be in the mailbox when I got home, and indeed it was!

I almost always carry when I'm out of state, so yes, I have a couple of carry guns. As noted above, get your NH CCW permit so you can carry in PA, and get a FL and/or UT permit to allow you to carry in 30+ other states.

Mailed 11/23, cleared 1/18. We should all go out for a beer to celebrate when we get them!

If it's a model that has both green and red lasers, one to indicate when the slack is out of the trigger and one to register hits, they can be switched so the red one hits the target. The bullseye targets are good. Looks like they addressed the issue of its being annoying to reset the cans with these: https://www.laserlyte.com/products/rumble-tyme-laser-trainer-target

Good advice. Thread should have been over after this. It's been my experience that you show up in municipal court at the appointed time, and then the judge gives you an opportunity to talk with the prosecutor. A line quickly forms, so be nimble on your feet to avoid a long wait. The prosecutor will almost certainly strike a deal with you along the lines of what T Bill described. Then you have a seat back in court to wait for the judge to call you up. When he does, he will read you the deal that you worked out and asked you if that's how you want to plead. You will pay your fine and go on your way, most likely without any points. Don't ask how I know all that.

FWIW, I have the XD Mod.2 subcompact that I carry when I'm out of state, and I love it. I've eyed the full-sized model, but I'm trying to take a break from buying new guns. Plus, I have a Glock 34, and I suspect they are fairly similar.

I mailed mine on 11/23, have not called them, and have not seen my check cashed yet either.

There certainly will be a discussion of those things. I was looking in my local paper today to see if the din had started for restrictions on flying with firearms. But if the recent past is any indication, nothing will change, much to the frustration of the gun grabbers. Oh, liberal bastions like NY, NJ, and MD may put more restrictions in place, but nationally there does not seem to be the political will to strip people of their 2A rights based on isolated instances.

As bad as this state is now, it's really going to suck big-time in a year or so!

Great price for a semi-auto SG! Best of luck with it.

All things considered, I would rather be equipped like Officer Elkin.

Well, that certainly played well nationally. I'm sure we would all love to see the same here in NJ, but as the electoral vote showed, it's an entirely different political climate in this godforsaken state.

And BTW, an offshoot of the recent election result (excuse the easy pun), is that ammo prices seem to be trending down. I've seen cases of 9mm shipped for around $200, or even a little less in several places.

Laws like these are written because legislators are always assuming that guns are going to be used for evil purposes. From that perspective, it's no wonder that they would love to ban them entirely. If they looked at them as weapons to protect good people from evil (as in the case of Carol Bowne cited above), then restrictions like waiting periods, mag limits, and the like would seem ridiculous.

Wait, you mean Darth Vader was Luke's father? Thanks for ruining that for me! (Sorry, DD no offense to you intended.)

I believe this and similar questions come down to a tradeoff between being prepared to deal with emergencies, and having a house full of crap that you may or may not ever need.

Right over there near the Bullet Hole. Welcome!

Sportsman's Guide often has sales on MRE's. I keep a few on hand, but most of my stash is freeze dried. I'm thinking if the poop ever goes down, it might be good to have a few extras around for when the neighbors come calling. I don't really want to have to shoot my neighbors.

Handyman, you crack me up! My landscape guy comes by when he's good and ready (no sign of him so far), and my leaves magically disappear!

Welcome to our gang! You can learn a lot here. I was pretty much brand new to the world of firearms when I found this place, and a large part of what I've learned has been from these boards. Be sure to become extremely knowledgeable about NJ laws, as there are lots of traps in them, and the penalties for not knowing them can be severe. Where do you shoot?

You can love and/or hate Negan, but he is a great character who brings a lot to the show. Part of me hopes they can kill him soon, but I realize that's probably not going to happen. Is it just me, or have there been multiple opportunities to kill him already? Carl could have put one in his head a few episodes again when he was pointing a handgun at him. And then again last night, it looked like he had a clear shot at him from the truck. Even when Carl was sitting with Negan in his living room, Carl had a clear shot to drive a forearm into his throat, and then proceed to take him apart from there. I'm not a big martial arts guy, but I've seen numerous chances to destroy anatomical targets on the guy.

So against all odds, we now have that. Let's hope this can finally move forward.

Great to see that reason prevailed! At least for now. We'll probably have this fight again after Christie leaves office.

As the goal of public policy is to create laws that benefit the largest number of people, how can they reasonably think it's OK to create a law that hurts millions of people to possibly protect a handful? (And even if a few suicides are prevented at gun ranges, they can still be accomplished in other places by other means.)
