Duppie

Unfortunately Dynamics was not offered in my small liberal arts college and I guess it shows.

Is it a case where a rifle round needs the benefit of time and space to reach terminal velocity? Ie: impact penetration and damage at 7 yards is substantially less than impact at 20 yards where round is traveling faster and damage is greater because of gain in velocity?

Thanks. With no prior experience with long guns and common calibers, a layman's perception would be exactly the opposite, thus my question. Proving that even a cursory familiarity with firearms does not dispel commonly held myths and preconceptions. Thank you again.

I have no experience with long guns but wouldn't a AR platform in traditional calibers have over penetration issues also? Perhaps even more so?

Especially since he could have sold that "beautiful 1911" to you and bought some damn car insurance...........

Am I able to avail myself of the NJSP renewal process if my permits was not originally issued by them?

It had crossed my mind.....I'll be sure to ask him right after asking our Mayor why he's a douche.

Monroe Township just recently changed it policy on extensions. Before we only had to submit a short note outlining why we need the extension, now it will no longer be considered unless one can show a firearm receipt showing a delay or delivery date after your initial 90 or a letter from a FFL stating the same with a valid receipt. Can anyone shed some light as to why the policy was changed?

Going Nuts so while the wife is baking double chocolate bourbon brownies,I'm busy making Sriracha soy pork belly's in the turbo and garlic fried rice for dinner and nursing a Gin and tonic.

Much!

Forgive me... but Mr Tilem deserves it. In this day and age calling any of these outreach emergency lines is foolhardy. As soon as a real person picks up he/she is trained to expect the worst and act accordingly. Could he not just as easily googled" how to manage depression"? This individual was indeed asking for help and even if he was not going to harm himself or others then, what was the authorities to do? in this climate of litigation,public condemnation of the police and lack of personal responsibility I say let Mr Tilem move to Florida and let them deal with his issues and possible suicide.

Gold Medal comes up quite a bit in complaints,apparently the plumbers and electricians are in effect working on commission and are encouraged to run up estimates because they get a % of the total and rumored to earn half of any service contract for the life of the contract. Avoid them like the plague.

I've seen large feral hogs taken down by large caliber air rifles on You Tube but I too thought of squirrel,rabbits and pigeons when air rifles is mentioned.

I believe you're correct. She does suffer from mild carpel tunnel syndrome, again stupidly not considered by me when researching a firearm but also her father preferred a revolver as his sidearm even if he was issued a 1911 and I believe his preference carried over to her perhaps more as fond memory than anything else. Moral is include the wife in your buying decisions when she will be handling also.

That was the issue I encountered when considering a primary HD firearm and erred stupidly. After much research and consideration I purchased a very simple to operate DA semi auto only to find that my wife had difficulty to effectively rack the slide and much preferred a revolver.

I have a Taurus 605 .357 revolver for our HD needs.My wife likes it and is a crack shot at 7 yards. The investment is reasonable for a gun that will most properly spend it's life languishing in a bedside drawer but still ready at a moments notice.

Both.

East Brunswick Sportsman. P&K Firearms and Ammo,Red Dot all comes to mind and not attached to ranges and all sell or will be selling hard goods. Then of course the new ranges that are already up and running or in the works that will also be selling arms and ammo. Now in the interest of fairness can anyone list the so called Mom and Pop stores that has closed recently directly due to internet arms and ammo sales?

I'm all for supporting Mom and Pop stores if they are in the business of supporting and catering to me... The customer. We've been down this road many a time so I'll refrain from the whole customer service at gun shops issue yet again but on another note ,I'm not so sure your claim of stores closing hold water. I read about gun shops and ranges opening on a regular basis recently. Perhaps the ones that are closing lost touch with their customer base and had no choice.

Depends on the MOD apparently.It may also be a situation where a particular store is not making their budgeted numbers and tries to keep a tight reign on discounts,refunds and coupons where as better preforming locations can afford to keep a customer happy and take the coupons.

I hear you... I was honored to be invited by Smoking 50 and liked the vibe but at this time is not financially or feasible time wise.

Worth a try.... Thanks anyway, I don't shoot enough to justify a membership simply because I travel a great deal and fondle my guns maybe once every couple of months. Going to check out my BIL's collection of guns Manila in November and keep what I want or dump the rest. I will post pictures before I liquidate the balance.

Guest me in ...will you?

That really is a beautiful gun....I love the lines.
