What would you do? v. Creepy roadstop
Drive through the cones, try to get a plate number, call 911 and GTFO. I want to get a car soonish, but I love driving my truck for the reason I can drive through more than just cones if need be.

New Jersey lawmakers seek mandatory training for potential gun owners.
Problem is, other than basic right infringement going on, we all know that they will find a way to screw us all over with this. Such as training is once a year in Cape May with limited class sizes.

The madness must stop!!! This state must ban these deadly items immediately!!!
It's actually pretty sad. Could have been anyone. Always wear your hats, people.

How do you all store gasoline?
I'm back on a Jerry can kick. I have two USGI cans that both leak, plus a plethora of plastic cans. Where is a good place to buy real non-CARB cans?

Unfortunately, no.

Silly question-Painting revolver sights.
I realized I am not getting that great of a sight picture on my S&W M64 because the stainless sights kind of blend in together. I found some old testors paint and painted the rear black and the front ramp bright red, but the red doesn't "pop" real well. Do you guys have any suggestions for sight colors? Neon colors may blend in too well with the shoot-n-see targets. I may paint the back red and the front black as well.

Fury?
I actually don't like the dine in theaters. It was fun to go as a novelty (it was 40 minutes away) but I found it distracting almost. I wouldn't want to watch an "iconic" movie there. The food I found mediocre but surprisingly not overpriced for the quality. I expected it to be crazy expensive considering a regular AMC charges $75 for popcorn and drinks.

Does the NRA "endorse" local politicians?
I know someone who will be eventually running for a local position. Does the NRA assist or endorse local small time politicians?

1911 vs. HK45C vs. the world
I'm eyeing up the no-frills Colt Commander myself. It seems a bit big for CCW though. It is only 3/4" shorter than a full size 1911, I would consider a 3" Colt Defender which is also on a shorter frame as well. Everyone should own a 1911 regardless.

Browning 1911-380
9mm is a no-go according to a Guns and Ammo article. It seems promising. I would like to buy a CCW handgun in about a year or less, and I'm going to be comparing this to a 9mm Shield. The 9mm obviously trumps the .380, but I shoot full-size 1911s very well and "modern" automatics not so well. Range time will tell. Also found it weird that this has a plastic frame. This pic was concerning though. Look at that gap.

Expecting first child.... Buy a gun?
Save your money... I've heard kids are expensive. Buy a crickett or whatever when the time comes.

Sh!t you see at the range
I see lots of mall ninjas at my range doing "tactical courses". They always seem to shoot five yards from their target, and insist on screwing around downrange. Like the firing line is some arbitrary nonsense, and the right place to do Glock mag dumps is half way down the rifle range in front of the 50 yard target stand.

M1 Lubriplate Grease Pot alternative
I was reassembling the trigger group. The mag catch needed some grease. It was using cosmoline for grease prior. Everything else gets CLP. I'm still on a quest for milsurp Breakfree CLP. The new stuff has a funny smell and the non-breakfree stuff doesn't smell the same either. Not that it makes any difference, but it is what I am used to.

Tactical Sling Catch: Is there a useful application for this?
When I played paintball I used a tank remote (tank strapped to my back) so I couldn't place my marker on the ground or anything when I was BSing in between games. A sling was impractical because I liked to run through brush and the sling would also probably tangle in the remote line. I put a carabiner on my vest and a 6" loop of paracord on my marker. I could also shoot that way if I needed to. Would not work well with long/heavy guns like 870s. If I were carrying a rifle I would probably just use an African Carry.

M1 Lubriplate Grease Pot alternative
I was reassembling my Carbine last night and I decided I don't like Hoppes grease (too thin), and I found a random Lubriplate (the yellow stuff, not brown) M1 grease pot. I like the stuff. Anyone know where I can buy Lubriplate or something like it? In person, not online. I'm looking for a good gun grease. I would use wheel bearing grease but the stuff would be like molasses in winter. Generic automotive grease is also a nogo because I hate the tubes it comes in. I think White Lithium has a very thin viscosity like Hoppes, it has been awhile. I liked Tetra, but the grease itself separated in the tube after a few years.

A little metal/tin working....
This. If drilling for rivets isn't a possibility, then find a good adhesive. Generic epoxy may be a consideration, but I would think autobody adhesive would be a good choice too. What is going on the shelf? I would be tempted to build a cubby out of plywood underneath the guns and just have the barrels almost touching the ceiling of the safe. That way your shelf can't fail and drop a steel handgun on your shotgun.

Pinning a USGI 20 or 30 round mag...
IIRC you can't braze aluminum. Besides, brazing is going to heat the hell out of a mag body, spring, and follower. I think the spring would fail. Steel 30 rounders can be found cheaply. Under $10 online, usually from places like PSA. Not USGI, but still quality. Steel is also much easier to weld.

1911 Issues/Sig 220 mild kaboom
I appreciate your input, but like I said I'm walking away from it and leaving it for my dad. I really do appreciate the bit about Kyle at Sig though. You're the first person to actually answer my question.

Not here, I just meant that it reached five pages quickly over there. A lot more responses overall than I expected.

1911 Issues/Sig 220 mild kaboom
Jesus, this blew up. No pun intended. Like I said at the Sig Forum, this isn't my gun so I am making my dad take care of it. Plus, I really managed to kick up a hornets nest over there when I was just looking for a source at Sig-Sauer to contact. I knew I liked rifles more for some reason

What barrel coating do you prefer and why?
Just to be "that guy".. Parkerized with chrome lined bore. Works well, looks good, and no fuss.

1911 Issues/Sig 220 mild kaboom
Sig-Sauer has pretty disappointing customer service. The rep told my dad "it sounds like a ammo issue" and that they would do a safety check on the gun at his expense. I'm sorry, but your gun fired out of battery. If it was under a year old they would cover it, this gun was bought in July of 2013 and fired for the first time 14 months later. I sent them an email because I think that is rather poor customer service. Hell, Taurus does a better job. Unfortunately, I can't get a direct email address. Anyone have a better one?
