Old Glock guy

That's a great price! I picked up a 10/22 in Wolf digital camo a few months ago for $179, but I've never seen one priced that low. I'm tempted to grab one, even though I already have two. Makes me wonder why people are occasionally looking for a used one, when a new one costs so little.

Well, you could just let it expire, throw it away, and save all that money. Lol! This discussion highlights a wonderful unintended consequence of our permitting system. It makes us buy more guns! Almost everyone puts in for more permits than they really want, since the process is such a PITA, and then we hate to let them go to waste. I was recently looking at acquiring three handguns, so I put in for four permits. My town was great with it. Got them back in around two weeks, and got an extension with no trouble. So guess how many guns I bought. Give you a hint: It wasn't three.

Gotta agree with you there. Gun laws have not gotten any better under him, although as he points out, he does not make the laws. And things certainly would have been a lot worse under any of the Dems.

So then what would you suggest we do? Try to win the NJ Senate and Assembly? Good luck with that. I think we are f'd after Christie's term is up, maybe sooner if a Republican wins and he gets the AG spot that he appears to want.

Thank god we have Republican majorities in both houses! They're not doing much, but they assure that something like this is just a symbolic gesture on the part of the Dems.

Siderman, could not agree with you more. Many bitch about our plight in NJ (me included), but these guys are actually doing something that is well-planned out and persistent. I have met both Nick and Dwight, and I will tell you that they are solid guys who are passionate about this cause. Thanks for the update from Dwight.

That was the same thing I thought!

Lol! Bet they sold a lot of cars with that ad.

Tell me this doesn't look like fun! http://www.autoblog.com/2015/12/08/watch-a-marksman-go-clay-shooting-from-a-porsche-911/

I believe it was around three years ago, just before Newtown, that I picked up a couple of cases of Federal Bulk (5250 rounds) for around $179. Picked up one case, then saw it on sale again a few weeks later. Thought I really did not need any more, but decided to grab another case just for the hell of it. In retrospect, glad I did. But the situation with .22 has been the same for a long time now. I don't believe it's related to the current situation. But I have seen a bump in the prices of other rounds. Not a full-fledged panic, but prices have definitely notched up a bit. Just as an example, Targetsportsusa.com had Wolf Gold .223 for $299 a case for a couple of months, but now it's $350.

Get yourself some freeze-dried food and some water filters so your family will at least have food and clean water for awhile. They won't last through an apocalyptic EOTWAWKI situation, but you could get by for a few months in the event of a major emergency.

Wayne LaPierre makes a lot of sense, but as an old, white, male he is an unsympathetic figure. If the NRA wants to connect with the public, they need to have a woman saying the exact same thing. Or a person of color, someone like Colion Noir.

Coincidentally, I just picked up a VP9 yesterday, so I haven't had a chance to run it through those tests yet. I'll get back to you after I get around to putting it in mud and stuff.

I don't think I'm going to be able to make it, which is a shame, because I enjoyed our last gathering a couple of months ago.

FYI, Target Sports USA has it at that price regularly, at least they have for the last few months. I have found them to be a good company to order from. They ship promptly, and never charge a shipping fee on cases.

Yes, I thought the same thing. I enjoyed the episode. Lots of different story lines after the group was split up. I was looking at that hostage head shot thinking that even I could have made that shot, and I'm not that good.

I've heard conflicting opinions on that. Isn't that a surprise when it comes to NJ gun laws!

It seems to me that since the Pennsylvania AG was able to unilaterally decide that Florida and Utah nonresident CCW permits would no longer be honored in her state, then it would be a simple matter for our governor to issue an EO redefining "justifiable need" as self defense or "for all legal purposes."

So because the guy was found with "assault weapons" he has forever forfeited the right to be able to defend himself and his family. Anyone know if those guns are going to be put up for sale, maybe at an auction or something?

Or they are just ignoring it, hoping it will go away on its own. It has to be way past any deadlines for responses by now.

I think I'm going to have to read that book, although I'm doubtful that it will tell me anything I don't already know. I guess one of the good things about preparedness going mainstream is that the more people that have supplies on hand for an emergency, the less panic there is likely to be. But here again, I think sheltering in place is going to be far more viable than grabbing my well-equipped BOB and heading off to parts unknown.

It's nice, but ultimately meaningless. Yes. Yes. Probably doesn't make a difference one way or the other. Doubtful.

I think any of us would love to live near a home-based gun shop. Imagine only needing to go next door or down the street to buy a new gun. That could get expensive in a hurry!

I am in total agreement with you on your first sentence. As for the rest, he has been asked about this, and his reply is always that it is outside of his authority, but if the legislature would pass legislation to allow concealed carry, he would be glad to sign it.

IMHO, a legislative push for a 10 round mag limit, while troubling in itself, is made even more ominous by the fact that we already have a 15 round limit. If our legislators believe that 15 rounds are too many, then isn't it only common sense to believe that at some point they will believe 10 to be too many, then five, then one? I had the experience recently of speaking with an anti-gun proponent who was pushing for a ten round limit. (For some reason they believe that and universal background checks are The Holy Grail, at least for now.) When I asked him why he thought ten was the right number, he said, "Because we can't go to one yet."
