Gun Control Hearings
Giffords is a Glock owner and carry permit holder if I'm not mistaken. I'd take her over most NJ republicans any day.

NJ FID/PP Compliancy Project
Just submitted P2P forms at NJSP in Hamilton. I was told 10 to 12 weeks. Other than that, they are fine to deal with. Very professional and courteous. The officer in charge even helped me locate a place that provides money orders late at night.

Explain red dot sights...
And I should have specified that the dot moves OFF OF the knot, which is where the bullet is going.

Explain red dot sights...
I have shot the rifle. The existing sights are pretty close to on. So the point I'm trying to make is this: Let's say I look out the window and fix the iron sights on a knot in a tree or something far away. Since the sights are on, that is where the bullet will go. Also, since this optic co-witnesses, the red dot appears to show up right where it should be if I'm looking through the iron sights. But, while still holding the rifle as still as I can (i.e. still pointing at that knot in the tree) if I move my head (not the rifle) a little bit off the direct axis of the optic, the dot moves. To me that means the red dot is not in fact pointing where the bullet will go. That's as best as I can explain it.

I know what you're saying. But if I used the iron sight to line up on a distant item and not move the rifle so should always be on the same target and the slightly move my head, the dot moves off that target.

Explain red dot sights...
Well, then I don't think this is working right. With the rifle lined up on a distant target based on the iron sights, moving your head causes the red dot to move off of what the sights were aiming at.

Explain red dot sights...
It's just a (fairly) inexpensive Bushnell TRS-25. I wasn't sure how good/useful it was going to be so I didn't buy something more expensive. I'll take a little bit more time with it this weekend, but so far I'm not impressed. I do like the Streamlight TLR-1 with remote pressure switch, however.

Storm trigger replacement
Was considering getting the Sierra Papa replacement trigger for the CX4 Storm but don't think I want to try it myself. Anyone know who has done this before (preferably several times and is a qualified gunsmith)?
-
Explain red dot sights...
I recently purchased a red dot sight for my Storm and unless I'm missing something, I don't see it as being very useful. I thought the whole point was that it shows the red dot exactly where the bullet will go, but if I hold the rifle fixed and move my head to the side a bit, the dot moves. Doesn't that defeat the whole purpose? It seems to me it only lines up when you're looking directly down the scope but if you were to fold down your iron sights, you really wouldn't have a reference for when you were looking directly down the scope axis.

Another Reason to Get AZ CCW
Are we sure they recognize non-resident AZ permits? I hate when they make that distinction.

Rudeness at CMO
I just had a decent experience there a couple weeks ago. I bought a new CX4 storm that was $50 less than Shore Shot. And still new in the box instead of hanging on the wall.

FID/P2P application question
The same form works for both FID and P2P so I would definitely do both at once. And it's only $2 per handgun permit so do more than one.

Contact candidates?
Just a thought: I received my sample ballot for upcoming state primary voting. Might be interesting if we could get lots of people to call each candidate and ask them their position on 2A. If against, politely tell them that you will not be supporting them. I bet if they got 20 plus calls about this it might start to sink in. What do you think?

Criminals for Gun Control
Oh, that's good. We should forward this to every NJ state legislator. Though my guess is they wouldn't get it.

NJ prosecutors not allowed to carry on retirement.
Welcome to second class status, suckers. Why do I think they will find a way to get an exemption?

HOLY CRAP! How did I not know about this case???
I'm sure NJ will argue it applies only to Maryland. God I hope this succeeds. Seems like it's only a matter of time but I'm already tired of waiting.
