Sara Silverman - Black NRA - funny or die?
Kind of racist, no? So according to her satire, black people should NOT be allowed to have guns?

IDPA / USPSA - how do I get better ???
Dry-fire practice can seem pointless and boring. I recently purchase a SIRT trainer, which fires a laser light at one's target, so at least you can see where it's hitting. You can buy a Laserlyte cartridge which will fit your own gun, but with that one you will need to re-rack the slide after every shot. In addition, you can pick up laser targets that are helpful, and can make practice more fun. http://nextleveltraining.com/content/sirt-specifications http://www.laserlyte.com/collections/lts They appear to be somewhat pricey, but are not really so bad, when you consider the money you can save on ammo, and how much more realistic practicing you can do without having to leave your home.

Local carbine training?
I would also be interested. And I literally LOL'd when I read jrfly's comment.

Home Defense Gun Swap
As you might guess from my screen name, I would second this. I understand your concerns about forgetting to flip off the safety on the PX4. Also, I have decided that I would prefer to avoid the whole DA/SA trigger concerns in a high stress situation. So I keep a Glock 34 in my bedroom (as a backup for my shotgun, and a G19 on the first floor. Additionally, I'm not sure why you would want to handicap yourself with a sub-compact for HD. It's one thing to want a small gun for a CCW, but without that constraint, why not go full-size or at least just compact for at home?

Vote Now! Save our Second Amendment Rights!
Good to see them getting hammered. I voted and went to post a comment, but could not because I'm not on Facebook. Probably not much that I could say that had not already been said in the 700+ comments prior to my vote.

What are your experiences with a Gen4 Glock 9mm?
I was about to say the same thing, so now I don't need to.

Trooper video ain't over yet
Yeah, did not look like anyone was blameless in that one.

So the mag limit question
I have pinned 30 round mags for my 15/22 and pinned 20's for my AR, and no one has ever questioned on me on them.

I hate to say it, but I love the Glock
I have four Glocks, but my G34 is far and away my favorite. I will readily admit that my Beretta 92A1 is sexier (don't tell my Glocks, lest they become jealous), but if my life were on the line, I would want my G34.

Increased Sales Tax on Guns and Ammo
I see what you did there.

Saying hi from North Jersey, glad i found the forum...
Congrats! Seems like that was pretty fast. Pretty exciting to finally be allowed into the party.

NJ CCW qualification
I would love to try the regular qualifier, but I don't think I'm high-speed enough for a modified version.

Birthday Selfie...
LOL! Yes, I always wash my hands after playing with my gun.

NJ CCW qualification
Yes, pretty easy to point fingers by those of us who have never been in a gunfight. I can't even imagine the stress level, versus just poking holes in paper.

Increased Sales Tax on Guns and Ammo
Thank God we have a Republican House of Representatives nationally, and a Republican governor in our state, or they would all just be bending us over and having their way with us. (Hope that metaphor is not too strong for the mods.)

Do Not Mess
Nice! Thanks for posting it.

Birthday Selfie...
I'm so out of touch. I thought a "selfie" was an act of self-love. I've subsequently learned that it is a term commonly used in social media like Facebook, a place with which I am totally unfamiliar. I feel kind of like Sheldon on Big Bang Theory, but not as smart.

Welcome from Wayne, and good luck to you.

Aljazear America!!!! I have chest pain
Isn't that the station that Al Gore sold to them?

Hello, New to the forum and the state!
Welcome, also from Wayne. Let me know when you're heading to the range. Also, LMK if you need info about places to shoot around here. Good luck with your permitting. A couple of years ago, it only took around six weeks to get my FID, but word is that it's currently taking months.

9mm whats a great price?
I have been fortunate to not have needed to buy 9mm ammo for awhile, but as CageFighter notes, last year I was able to pick up cases of 1000 rounds shipped for $200-$220, which works out to $10-$11 per box. Sigh...

CHRISTIE VETOS!
Is it just me, or does this discussion of the capabilities of a .50 BMG weapon completely miss the point? Say a terrorist really wanted to use one of these to attempt to take down an airliner or a chemical plant. What would be the chances that he would apply for an FID card, wait six months or so while his application is processed; then walk into a gun store, put a down payment on a Barrett; wait for it to come in; then go through a NICS check? Seems like it would be a lot easier to pick up something like that on the black market. The only ones willing to go through that whole process above would be one of us.
