Old Glock guy

I'm going to go out on a limb here and take a wild guess that it's illegal in New Jersey.

We had a thread like this a few months ago, when rumors started flying that there was going to be a ban on Russian ammo. If the ammo has not been restricted, why the panic? The biggest problem is that after these panic "shortages," the prices never come all the way back down to where they were.

Well, that may be true for you, but I can assure you that I'm a fairly dangerous man.

As did I! Wasn't sure if I liked it, but now I love it.

I don't think you would even need a new 10/22, just a new stock like this: http://www.brownells.com/rifle-parts/stock-parts/rifle-stocks/ruger-reg-10-22-reg-youth-stock-prod16635.aspx or this: http://www.midwayusa.com/product/166078/hogue-rubber-overmolded-youth-stock-12-length-of-pull-ruger-10-22-920-barrel-channel-synthetic-black

This is, of course, completely logical. But we have learned how little importance our legislators attach to logic. Yes, this is the reason they gave. But I believe this is the real reason.

Looks like that's part of their Core Curriculum!

Exactly! I have expressed a similar opinion in other threads related to this.

I agree with you. Lasers put the fun in dry fire training. I have the target you show, plus a couple of the smaller, reactive targets. If you really want to go all-out, consider getting a SIRT trainer, which is an inert replica of a Glock 17. It allows you to fire multiple laser shots without having to re-rack the slide. They are a bit pricey, but It has definitely been a help to me.

The comments are hilarious!

Yes, I totally understand that. But I still think it's absurd. And I have no doubt that they would love to do as you suggest in your last sentence.

In my few years as a firearms owner, I am constantly amazed by how much time and energy we forced to waste in this state having to concern ourselves with seemingly trivial features like flash suppressors, bayonet lugs and collapsible stocks.

I don't even think you would need to take an entire day off. IIRC, you're out of there by around 11:00 or so. As Nike used to say, just do it!

Lol! Never heard that one before.

I agree. It's incrementalism at its finest. We really do need to figure out how to vote those dirtbags out of office.

Exactly! I don't think anyone has an objection to letting the free market choose whether or not it is a worthy technology. The pushback comes from having it rammed down our throats, like so many of the other crappy firearms laws in this state.

That's what happens when you get a Brit doing a southern accent.

Yes, I found that to be somewhat surprising, as SC has fairly liberal gun laws, and most of the states around them recognize Florida's CCW permit, but they do not.

I'm not sure I'm understanding this correctly. Is this whole thing a unilateral action by the AG, or is she acting under executive orders? I mean did she just wake up one day and decide to start screwing CCW holders, or is there a lot more to it? If it's the former, could our AG theoretically wake up one morning and decide that self defense constitutes justifiable need?

Didn't see the article, but at that point, why would they settle for a ten round limit? I'll bet they will try for seven, or even five, so they can save even more kids.

The editorial was painful, but at least the comments were pretty good.

I have given serious consideration to picking up a Mini 14 or 30, but I have had reservations similar to yours. I picked up a bunch of 7.62 when I got a Saiga recently, and I thought it might be nice to have another gun to run it through. But I have heard the same thing you mention, about their not doing well with steel cased ammo. I also considered the Mini 14, since I have a bunch of .223 as well. But I didn't like the fact that they don't use AR mags, and since we can only get the five rounders in this state (they also make 20's), it seems like it would be a liability in a defensive situation. The factor that may ultimately sway me is that I like the way they look.

Well, I'll admit I'm too lazy to do the research, but I'm more than willing to take your word for it. By no means am I disagreeing. I'm merely pointing out (as you may have already done), than any efforts we make only need to be focused on specific areas, not spread out across the entire state. As you explain, there are somewhere around 21-23 races in play, not the entire 120 that comprise our state legislature. Put that way, it certainly sounds attainable.

Don't you have to break just about every safety rule to do that? You need to have an inappropriately loaded gun, you need to have it pointed in an unsafe direction, and you need to have your finger on the trigger. Just sayin'.

Not sure if this has already been discussed on this lengthy thread, but thanks to the wonders of gerrymandering, most districts are solidly either Republican or Democrat. (All three of my state reps in the 40th District are conservative and strongly pro 2A.) The good thing about that is that we can focus our finances and other resources in the very few (if any?) swing districts.
