Duppie

There is a very good chance that I will be spending a significant amount of time in a very hot and humid environment in the near future. I will need to CCW because of the almost cottage industry of kidnapping for ransom in this country,I have carried briefly there once before but found it extremely uncomfortable and sweaty to the point I just put the firearm in the glove compartment and left it there. I would like to carry a 9mm sub compact comfortably without compromising the gun or myself. Suggestions? I carried a very small Tomcat I believe in a split suede in the waistband holster,after an hour everything was slippery to the point of uselessness.

Beyond the issue of rights,times are changing and the basic need for self preservation and protection is growing increasingly critical. Even though I personally would not carry every day if the opportunity presents itself,I want the ability to protect myself,family and property without foolishly depending on an already abbreviated,overburdened and refocused law enforcement system.

I ordered the Herter's 300 round with dry storage box for $74.99,I've never shot that ammo before but it seems like a good deal and I can sure use the box.

Saw this morning that Cabela's 1 penny shipping is back until April 14'th. The coupon code is 42penny but you still have to order a clothing item.Slickguns recommend ordering the Heatrap fingerheaters insert for $1.88. Go forth and stimulate the economy. I know I will.

By all means transport your gun and ammo in a manner that is comfortable for you while still within the law, this question gets raised at least once a month.I will,however direct you to a very convenient sticky on the right hand side of the forum page which lists just about all pertinent firearms laws in NJ.I personally prefer to spend my expensive range time shooting rather than reloading and am confidant in the fact that in the unlikely event of a stop or traffic accident, I am perfectly legal with all of my mags and speed loaders fully loaded. The loaded mag is a loaded gun argument is essentially a old wives tale perpetuated by alarmist usually quoting some fictional stop where some body's friend of a friend was jailed for a loaded mag. Never happened.....

As I indicated in the original tread,SS had every right to do what ever they saw fit for their business and from all indications their business is booming. On most nights and weekends there's in excess of an hour's wait for range time with novice shooters as far away as the Bronx lining up for expensive rentals,ammo and range time so perhaps in their minds offering discounts to seemingly demanding and critical NJGF members was just not worth it any longer. Do I agree with their decision? absolutely not,but not so much with it as a business decision because we can debate ad infinitum on whether it was sound or not,but on the way it came about. Instead of giving some lead in to a change in policy with perhaps a brief explanation on NJGF,they instead chose to sever all ties immediately and leave the why to rampant speculation. Never a good thing in any business climate simply because regardless of what your relationship is with your customers , memories are long,and those same customers you alienated today may be the ones to save your business tomorrow. From what I understand SS has an issue with relaying pertainant information in a timely manner and a generous person would think that business is so good that they just don't have the time or manpower to keep up with the mundane but important task of keeping people informed.I personally believe feelings were hurt,damage control was either overlooked or not attempted and they finally said f--k them.

...at least it wasn't a VW Cabriolet...

That just may be a shrewd move, I wonder if Maks would recommend his clients do the same?

.....so I take it that's a YES?....

Having returned from 2 Dick's,both sold out of 9mm and being informed that they are not getting a full shipment of the popular calibers regardless of what they order, along with a NRA blurb that ammo sales are also through the roof,are we set for another run and shortage on ammo?

A standard knee jerk,overly emotional reaction to a hot topic and not fully thought out law.I understand the dire need of the young and unworldly to be current and pertinent in these confusing and conflicted times but stay still and actually think for a moment...consider the ramifications of pursuing these broad laws. Who decides what constitutes hate and to what degree? You? our trusted legislators? in jersey? Aren't we living with their flawed laws right now?Think sir.... for a moment....and consider the future of us allowing them to legislate us essentially out of existence so that you and your counterparts can slap each other on the backs,claim victory for the unfortunate and rest well and safe in the dream that all is now right with the world.

With all due respect, I rather doubt that "this place would have erupted",perhaps some bored and overly contentious individuals would have protested as they do for what ever cause celebre that's on FB this week,whether it be Kony ,Sudanese slaves or the lack of gluten free pizza in the cafeteria.I have no doubt however, that Ravi wanted to play a prank at his roommates expense but to be sentenced to a possible 10 years in prison as well as deportation because a confused young man with little or no support system decided it easier to jump instead of confront reality is excessive and a obscene miscarriage of justice. We see some applaud the verdict but IMO they see it as a way to sooth some perceived guilt and moral outrage and pay lip service to an increasingly confused and sheepish societal norm. By the way, you sew clothing but sow grain.

At the risk of minimizing the tragic death of a terribly conflicted young man and all the pandering rhetoric that hovers over this particular issue.I see it as another young man's life basically ruined over a stupid college prank,a grieving parents need to blame anyone but themselves for their lapse of understanding and support and the public's frenzied attempts to vilify someone,anyone in a vain and self serving attempt to out PC each other.

.....and here I was just trying to get them drunk.... kudos.

...we both did also...

Phil the RO there told me about their visit several months ago and said he had a blast with the young ladies except he had them fire revolvers since the combination of hot brass casings and low cut tee shirts would have made a very different show.....or perhaps not.

I'm with you....I fly to Asia 2 to 3 times a year and the last thing I need is 15 hours of incessant chatter even with noise cancelling phones on.

Gotcha....

.....Entirely possible but you haven't elaborated as to why?

Excellent... glad it worked out.

I was catching up on my You Tube viewing during a particularly lazy afternoon and caught a updated Sig P250 review. The reviewer mentioned that one ingenious subscriber mails the grip housing,barrel,mags and slide and then transports the trigger mechanism{which is the only component of the pistol that is numbered}separately, reassembling the sum of the parts to a whole pistol at his destination. Considering how adept NJGF contributors are at the minutia of firearm hypotheticals ,my questions are: Since the trigger mechanism is the only registered part, is it still considered a whole firearm if transporting solely without it's slide ,barrel and mags? Would the USPS consider the slide ,barrel and mags a whole pistol if shipped as "parts"? If shipping over seas in one's luggage the trigger mechanism after shipping peripheral components,what are the legalities and pitfalls,if any of such transportation? Please remember that these are all hypothetical scenarios and by no means ever considered as a means of firearm transport.

It's a cap gun from the late 60's. I used to have one. The steer head motif gave it away.

That was fast. I inspected mine and everything seems to be ok.

Caliber perhaps?

Thank you for allowing me that. Am I going out and purchase a .45?, eventually but there a slew of handguns on my list in a bunch of calibers but right now I'll concentrate on enjoying shooting the 2k of 9mm I have in the house.
