A4179 and A4180 - (requiring FIDs to use ranges?)
This law would be the death of the Second Amendment in New Jersey, as it would stifle any attempt to encourage people to try shooting before they undergo the arduous process of obtaining permits. And while it is probably unconstitutional, I don't see any way that NJ courts would rule against it.

Scope or Reflex?
I have an Aimpoint PRO on my AR, and it's great. It allows fast target acquisition in the close quarters situations of the many training classes I've attended, and I can be combat accurate out to 100 yards all day, despite my less than perfect eyesight at my advanced age,

Dried Food
You might want to look through what Freeze Dry Guy has to offer: www.freezedryguy.com I have purchased several different freeze dried products, but you might consider something like this as a starter: https://freezedryguy.com/product/32-serving-essential-bug-out-bucket/ I've tried all three entrees in there, and they certainly pass my taste test (although admittedly, my bar is set pretty low).

The Walking Dead
I thought the same thing. First Negan takes half (or more) of everything, then he confiscates their firearms. He must be a Democrat!

Got the Mini Mags. Thanks!

Meanwhile in New Hampshire...
Well, it certainly couldn't be any clearer than that! Putting my application in the mail today.

What's Everyone Buying Before New Democratic Governor Is Elected
Buying ammo, lots of ammo. Was going to get a Jersey neutered Colt AR, but now I figure I might as well wait until I get a place in Florida, so I can have the real deal.
-
Black Friday deals ??
Yes, the shipping can be a deal breaker. You could try Target Sports USA, which never charges shipping on purchases of cases of ammo. Or you could just watch for free shipping specials, such as the one going on currently at Sportsman's Guide.

Election and National Carry Reciprocity
I said two years because Trump will be guaranteed a majority in both houses of Congress for at least that long (and with any luck, maybe a lot longer). So If they are going to act, I would expect them to do it within that window. Of course, much sooner than that would be even better. (I'm in my mid-60's and running out of time.) And I will be happy to attend jackandjill's beer party. Just LMK where and when. What a great celebration that would be! (I might even buy a round.)

Election and National Carry Reciprocity
It's hard to be optimistic about the prospects for CCW permits in NJ, but if it's ever going to happen, it will be sometime in the next two years through federal intervention. If that window goes by, I think we will be doomed here forever.

Academy has Blazer brass 9mm 50 rounds $9.99
It showed availability, took me all the way through the ordering process, including payment, then told me it was unavailable. Those bastards!

N.J. commission calls for tightening ammo sales laws
Yet another example of ignorant thinking by liberal politicians. How many rounds would someone bent on destruction need, maybe a few hundred at most?

Smartgun reliability
What troubles me most about this technology is that even if they could make it work perfectly, there would be nothing to prevent bad actors, either private citizens or people in government, from disabling it when they wanted to.

Cabelas - Federal 12ga Dove/Target $54.99 case of 250
Thanks DD! Just grabbed two cases for the free shipping, and I even had a gift card kicking around for $50, so truly a hot deal.

Kalifornia Ammo Ban
I've heard California rumbling about seceding. Damn, I wish they would just go, and take their communism and 55 electoral votes with them!

Gun for Hire Gold Member Trap shoot Tomorrow
Yes, I'll be there. I'm an old guy (as you can guess from my screen name), but I won't have any Glocks with me. I'll probably be shooting my Mossberg 930 semi auto.

Carry rifles in your car?
Whether or not a loaded magazine is defined as a weapon is a relatively trivial point in discussing transportation to and from a range. Loading mags at home or at the range is an insignificant difference of minutes. Where the issue becomes significant, IMHO, is when a rifle is carried in a car as a potential defensive weapon. In that case, the difference between having a few loaded mags in the pouch pockets on a rifle case vs. having to stuff rounds into a mag in the face of a threat can be an eternity.

Post-Election Ammo Plan
Thanks for the reminder. I'm going to order another case or two right now. "It may be time to stock up and self-impose serious rationing on ourselves. I believe, if things go bad today, that my days of going through 400 rounds of .22 and 150-200 of handgun calibers every range trip are over. Even if Trump gets elected there's sufficient uncertainty in all of this that I will not be complacent. " Yes, and I intend to pace myself on range trips.

Looking for a AK
Interesting to hear that. Seems that Century Arms AK's get little love on here. I'm looking for another AK as well (I currently have a Saiga), and the CA look and price point are attractive.

Florida trip soon - unsure of some things
This is mostly correct but the orange card they give you goes on top of the case with the gun, not inside it, as the inside is only accessible to you with a non-TSA lock. I have flown out of Newark with a handgun many times, and the procedure has often varied. I don't know about Atlantic City, but at Newark a TSA official comes over to the luggage counter after your declaration and leads you with your luggage to the TSA office. They may or may not ask you for your key, but they generally inspect your gun, either visually or with an X-ray, then will come out and tell you it's OK to proceed to the gate. I would also recommend locking the slide back, and possibly even putting a chamber lock through it, so they can readily see that the gun is unlocked. That last part is not required, but I've found it can be helpful.

Transport to the range
Feel free to do that, but know that it's not required by law.

New to forum and NJ
Oh crap, Jeff. That's a tough move to have to make. Business, I presume? Anyway, welcome to our forum, and to our godawful state. You really do need to take a careful look at the gun laws here to stay out of trouble.

The Walking Dead
While i found it disturbing to see those bodies with a bloody pulp where the heads used to be, it occurred to me that it would have been even more horrifying if Negan had just walked away after the first couple of whacks to Glenn, leaving him with his head split open and his eye popped out. That would have been truly sick, and probably over the line.

So I had my knee replaced yesterday....
Wish you a speedy recovery. Your recuperation time should give you plenty of opportunity for posting.
