Duppie

Exactly....how many times with how many wet behind the ears wanna be lawyers must we have this conversation? I admire Vlad's zen like patients and perseverance after arguing this point for the umpteenth time.

Now you're just being myopic and childish...the issue being discussed is not how to goad law enforcement but if a loaded mag transported in accordance to NJ laws is is considered a loaded firearm. I've read in just about all your post about what COULD happen if some one is stopped in NJ or what a judge COULD rule if some one is brought in front of the court and what penalties COULD be levied against some one is if it every gets to that stage in what has proved to be all speculation on solely YOUR part. Instead of citing a speculative and totally unproven hypothesis in order to appear somehow tuned in....show me evidence to support such a scenario in NJ and I'll concede the point ...until then you're just talking out of your ass.

There's always one or two in the wood pile isn't there Dave? The consummate alarmist able to quote Nappen verbatim with enough time and energy to not only interpret non existent laws but a almost mystical ability to foresee judicial prejudice when ruling on non existent laws. A cool but perhaps unnecessary talent.

Seriously? Must we proceed down this well trodden ground once again? I'm going to ask a question that has yet to be answered in the dozen times I've asked it on this topic and with all due respect to Mr Nappen........but can anyone cite a documented case in NJ where someone was arrested and stood in front of a judge for SOLELY having a loaded magazine transported according to NJ laws in their vehicle after a stop? I'm a patient man but in the years I've been asking this very same question I have yet to have someone answer it in other that the standard " well Nappen said....or I don't want to be the first....or just because it's not recorded it doesn't mean that... " We have more than enough laws to abide by to be complying with those devised by default or irrational fear. I have a 5 dollar bill in my range bag for 3 years now I won from a veteran RO who bet that loaded mags were illegal in NJ and lost after confirmation to the contrary by a state trooper. easiest $5.00 I've ever made.

Captain Obvious to the rescue yet again.........

OP. Loaded mags........Okay Okay?

Touche.......

I have 3 around the house and cars that are in use constant use without issue....$3.00 well spent IMHO.

Vlad... perhaps you can link the now dozens of threads on this very question and the misconceptions of loaded mags.

A tough club to get into...a neighbor was on the list for 2 years before being accepted,also there were supposedly some past issues with the club owing back taxes and discord with rank and file and the then president. Now presided over by the owner of the Sayerville Sportsman....not exactly an accommodating or couth individual.... Good luck.

With respects to Mora knives...just about every car,boat, truck,snow mobile,tool box,workman's belt,knapsack,ski and rifle bag in Norway,Sweden and Denmark has one and they can be purchased everywhere from the corner news stand to the largest outdoor supply. I received my "dress" model at my confirmation and still pack one I picked up in Oslo in 1986 for the equivalent of $17.00 US before going backpacking to North Cap...it's got some dings and bruises but still holds a good edge and can fillet a fish with the best of them.

Very nice....but is that heat sink ,dirt or shadows on the cylinder recesses and frame?

My Wife's favorite guns to shoot at the range is now a N frame S&W with .38 or .38+P rounds or my .45 Colt government 1911 but our bedside HD firearm is a Taurus 605 .357 and we're both very comfortable with that choice.

Recoil is relative depending on the gun and tolerances of the shooter IMHO. An all steel 9mm is far more manageable in most cases than a polymer firearm of the same caliber. As I stated before...stay away from the standard starter gun in .22 and perhaps begin with a steel 9mm or .40 ....then try out some polymer guns in the same calibers for contrast.After , let her shoot some medium framed revolvers in .38 or .357 and I'm positive some clear favorites will emerge. I cannot stress enough the importance of the grip and ease of function when considering the ideal gun for a novice shooter.

Precisely....I made the mistake of "knowing what's best for the wife" and ended up with a semi auto 9mm that she had difficulty racking the slide in a caliber that she disliked. After much range time and firing several guns, she has become very proficient and comfortable with a .357 revolver shooting +P's. I am not of the opinion of starting with a .22 and moving up in caliber from there as it takes too long to become proficient in a caliber that has a decent stopping power.

This topic comes up regularly and opinions differ...The one common point that all can agree on is that she plays an active part in the choice and caliber of a firearm that she can become comfortable with.

I agree. I prepare a lot of Asian dishes where sriarcha and sambal olek is invaluable to the authentic taste of the dish but for everyday use it gets old very fast and it's not hot at all. I grew up in the Caribbean where every dish is seasoned with Scotch Bonnets and you build an immunity to it's heat pretty quickly,that being said with all the hybrid peppers being produced today I've sourced some very hot yet tasty peppers and since my sauce is raw with no fillers other than onion and garlic,I'm able to retain the inherent fruitiness and slow burn associated with the Bonnet. We also have a habit of "floating" a fresh Bonnet on top of stews and curries to leave the flavor behind without so much of the heat but inevitably fighting for the pepper come dinner time.

I make my own from Scotch Bonnet peppers from a grower in Florida that has Trinidadian Scorpion bonnets.But my favorite bottled sauces are Matouk's from Trinidad,Delish from Barbados and El Yucateco XXX from Mexico. These are not what I call gimmick hot sauces that use capsicum oils and fillers but age old recipes that lend taste to dishes not destroy your taste buds with artificial heat.

I've been buying them for stocking stuffer's for the past 2 years and everyone loves them. There are 2 types however, one that has a strobe option and the other not but I 've been getting them for about $3.59 shipped and have them in all the cars,tool boxes, range bags,suit cases and knapsacks. The very first one I bought is still in constant use and hasn't failed me as yet.

In reality.....nothing. If driving to Vermont, just pack and secure them according to FOPA regulations and attempt to avoid New York State if at all possible. Good Luck.

...but of course...it's Jersey City and considering that the new Mayor is staunchly Anti Firearms,I expect their jobs are not in any jeopardy.

..as would I..and argue it a "reasonable deviation".

What's the big deal? I walk in with my firearms in a locked receptacle in my backpack....let's say with trigger locks and empty mags and discreetly place them in my box in the private room provided. I dare say some boxes most likely contain items far more "illegal" than a firearm legally owned,transported according to NJ laws and store in a box leased by a authorized gun owner. We all too often appear so paralyzed by what we illogically perceived as illegal.....when are we as a community going to grow a pair?

If I had my firearms stored in a safety deposit box...I would make damn sure I paid on time. Now the next question is ...what is the procedure,legally when a box goes into arrears?.
