S649 - Public Safety and Second Amendment Rights Protection Act (Amended by Manchin and Toomey)
Language on "Gun Show" and "Internet Sales" - Only "Gun Show" and "Internet Sales" need background checks. Private Sales are excluded. - Instead of going through a background check, just show your NJ FID or FL CCW. If it was issued within the past 5 years, no background check. - The page 36 "temporary transfer" alleviates the previous concerns about "if I leave town for 7 days" and "if my buddy and I shoot on private land." Page 21, starting line 13 and 22 "922 (t)(1) ... it shall be unlawful for any person other than a licensed dealer... to complete the transfer of a firearm to any other person who is not listed under this chapter if such transfer occurs (A) at a gun show or event, on the curtilage thereof; or (B) pursuant to an advertisement, posting, display or other listing on the Internet or in an publication by the transferor of his intent to transfer, or the transferr of his intent to acquire, the firearm. (2) Paragraph (1) shall not apply if (A) the transfer is made after a... licensed dealer has first taken possession of the firearm for the purpose of complying with subsection (s)... (i) ... except that when processing a transfer under this chapter the licensee may accept in lieu of conducting a background check a valid permit issued within the previous 5 years by a State... (B) the transfer is made between an unlicensed tranferor and an unlicensed transferee residing in the same State, which takes place in such State..." " Page 36, starting line 8 and 18 " Nothing in this subtitle... shall be construed (2) to extend background check requirements to temporary tansfers for purposes including lawful hunting or sporting or to temporary possession of a firearm for purposes of examination or evaluation by a prospective transferee."

S649 - Public Safety and Second Amendment Rights Protection Act (Amended by Manchin and Toomey)
Just finished reading the amendment. It only amends Title I, Schumer's piece. Title II, Leahy's Stop Illegal Trafficking Firearms Act is not amended. Title III, School and Campus Safety Enhancements Act is not amended. Original S649 is still available on govtrack. http://www.govtrack.us/congress/bills/113/s649/text

Kachalsky v Cacace
SCOTUS can decide as early as next Monday whether they will include this case in their next year's docket. Case concerns NY CCW, which is shall issue, but has 'proper cause' which basically means you need to have survived a violent crime to qualify. Ramifications would, of course, include NJ CCW. www.scotusblog.com/case-files/cases/kachalsky-v-cacace/

2nd Amendment Motorcycle Rally and Ride
Plugged in the battery last night, give the ole' girl a once over, rode the 32 miles down Rt78 to work this morning. First ride of the season always reminds me how much fun riding is.
- Opinion: M&P 15-22 or .22LR AR upper?

4 year old shoots 6 year old, Toms River
Maybe you can help me understand. I understand most all of Toms River is no firearm discharge area. I ask because I wonder why a .22 rifle would be loaded.

.22 Semi-auto vs. Bolt
How is the Davis Sportshop 100 yd indoor range for benchrest shooting? I am thinking of visiting the place to try refining my trigger pull, without reading wind. But I'm not sure if I'm gonna show up and find out the place has nowhere to setup rests, or if the place has an inconsistent 5 mph cross-wind air conditioning and circulation that goes on and off occasionally.

kimber 82g, get em while you can!
This is what I mean about the Rusty being pretty good. This was 100 yards with Eley Match at Cherry Ridge today, about 8-15 mph winds. Had a flyer on left panel due to my trigger control, and trying to read winds.

Took my Daughter shooting for the first time today
That's awesome. Don't nobody buy 22s as learner guns no more?

NICS Solutions and my letter to MPC
I think you are about right, or decade soon after. One of the references that stood out for me was Nixon mentioning wanting to ban cheap guns. Cheap, but gotta admit, a 22 can be effective.

NICS Solutions and my letter to MPC
The term has been around for nearly 100 years, carrying various connotations, including racial overtones. I don't wear tin foil hats.

NICS Solutions and my letter to MPC
Because most criminals prefer handguns. The most desirable feature for a criminal is concealability. One of the most popular Saturday Night Special is a 22 revolver. Because the combustion of a 22 is not as high, performance tolerances can be a lot looser and cheaper to make. The revolver is also mechanically simpler not to break or jam, since criminals probably aren't big on cleaning.

Another 10/22 Post
I think the pistol (Ruger Mk 3) is the same extractor. I had problems on that one, and replaced it. So I think it really varies: you could get a good extractor or a poor one. But like Skuft said, no point replacing it until you know.

Interesting. Maybe I'll pick up a couple more. My first rusty is crazy good.

Great. Only thing I would say is maybe spell out Point Of Contact before you use POC acronym. First time I read it through, I had a different acronym in mind.

Another 10/22 Post
I think 10/22s come in a box, so you'll want to get a bag or case. I wouldn't try to make all the decisions at once. After you shoot it a while, you are going to feel out what's missing. - First I hated the factory sights. I was punching holes in paper, and it was shooting accurate further than I can make out the holes, so I put on an inexpensive rimfire scope. I keep A2 sights on my SW MP 15-22. - Then I did the trigger. VQ. - Then I did the stock. Evolution from Boyd's. - Then I did the bolt buffer. Quieted the firearm a bit, hitting the polyurethane. - Then I did the barrel. Kidd's. In hindsight that was a little over-the-top. But learning to swap barrel from a receiver was a good experience. I never did the extractor: I threw blazers, golden bullets, federal, everything at it, and it never really stove piped or FTE.

Has anyone here attended an Appleseed event?
I did mine down in Winslow. 2 Hour drive each way, both days, and I still enjoyed it. It taught me the techniques for standing, sitting and prone. Really helped me appreciate how to maximize all available points of support on a rifle, instead of just treating it like an over-grown handgun. Gave me many things I still work on today, from single-shot benchrest to AR: for example a relax natural point-of-aim is substantially more accurate than muscling the sights/reticle onto target.

10/22 sling mounting
I got a bunch of slings but my favorite is still the one I got from Appleseed. For the swivel stud I masking taped the wood, measured off and penciled where I wanted to drill, then used progressively larger drill bits to avoid splintering. I barely passed my junior high woodworking class, so this was a big project for me.

I got mine from Midway. They have both 1" and 1.25" It is on sale. Building a liberty rifle?

Deciding between Savage 10 or 12
The Bushnell looks like a Banner 4-12, which has good reviews. I plan to keep it on for breaking in the barrel and zeroing at 50 and 100. But before I go to 200 and 300 I will probably replace it with a Mueller 8x32 side focus I currently have on a 22lr. It is twice the weight, but since I plan to shoot this bench and prone weight isn't a concern. I also like being able to see the holes without carrying a separate spotting scope.

The ACLU?
That is the official position of national ACLU, and position of every state chapter, save Nevada. Regardless of differences on 2A, there are fifth amendment and fourteenth amendment interests involved by the terrorist watchlist.
