Underdog

Does anyone know the value of an Enfield Sniper rifle?

Are the Apex Glock triggers available, yet? And if so, does anybody have experience with them installing them, depressing them, etc.?

Perhaps anyone stupid enough to live in the People's Republik of NJ is too stupid to carry a gun. But, when I go to Pennsylania, I haven't noticed a vast enlightenment. Maybe NJ just has the dumbest politicians.

Before we tackle the undecided, first, we have to tackle the disunity in our own ranks. Our opponents have made gun ownership and our freedoms political. And many who are reportedly on our side are either incapable of acting, they buy into the "reasonableness" BS, or they choose to be myopic or self-serving. Our unalienable freedoms (as outlined in the Bill of Rights) should unify all of us who support the 2nd Amendment and the principles that this country was founded on.

Lets not forget that the party of gun confiscation is the Democrat Party, right Chuckie. There are a few "DINOs?" Democrats (or Statists) in Name Only who pretend to be logical, but they are only in fairyland. So, the next time you see a progressive wandering through the magic ghetto of Ameritopia not minding his or her own business, you will know what to say to him or her, right? I'd extend it to RINOs and those that believe they are socially liberal (not libertarian) and fiscally conservative, as well. It is sad that there are so many wimps in the freedom-based gun culture that don't have a good response, or that might not sound too educated. That's why I might endeavor to sound more intelligent than the collectivist / socialist type and to not stoop to their base, emotional, really emotional level and use profanity as the author in the article suggests. I'd rather not acknowledge them at all if I could avoid it, but.. See the following video for further insights into their thought patterns, etc... Still, in recent news Lynne Russell may have said it best, when she told gun grabbers to shut their pie holes... Or, perhaps you can say... "When you get back on your Statist-sponsored meds, we can have an honest discussion about your lack of common sense, stupidity, and wrecklessness." Or, since I think a lot about our founders, I might say something, like... "Go fly a kite!" as I envision an electrical storm. By the way, where is that flag-happy troll of a distraction when there is something important like this to discuss?

Sorry for your loss. Any that have had the love and companionship of a dog are truly blessed. This is a poem from Wendell Berry's Sabbaths that has always touched me: The eager dog lies strange and still who roamed the woods with me; Then while I stood or climbed the hill Or sat under a tree, Awaiting what more time might say, He thrashed in undergrowth, Pursuing what he scared away, Made ruckus for us both. He's dead; I go more quiet now, Stillness added to me By time and sorrow, mortal law, By loss of company That his new absence has made new. Though it must come by doom, This quiet comes by kindness too, And brings me nearer home, For as I walk the wooded land The morning of God's mercy, Beyond the work of mortal hand, Seen by more than I see. The quiet deer look up and wait, Held still in quick of grace. And I wait, stop footstep and thought. We stand here face to face.

There are so many places you can go. I am going to jot down a few others have recommended. The Grayson Highlands is an awesome place to go in Southwestern VA, and you won't be disappointed. https://www.google.com/search?q=Grayson+Highlands&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=UaeXVZvvBcSigwT04YDIBg&ved=0CAcQ_AUoAQ&biw=1086&bih=515 If you bring a dog, make sure you protect its feet pads. And, if you are a fan of literature, you can plan it and visit Sherwood Anderson's estate and/or grave in nearby Marion Virginia.

I second Rickett's Glen.

I don't know how far you want to travel, but the Mount Rogers/Grayson Highlands area in Southwestern VA, about a 10 hour drive is an awesome place on the east coast. Grayson Highlands Mount Rogers National Recreation The views, the wild ponies... this place is a little different than most places in the East, but there will be other hikers, and depending on the time you go, there will be a lot of Appalachian Trail Thru-hikers. Other places to consider: Acadia in Maine, Pine Grove Furnace State Park in Pennsylvania, and White Mountain Park in New Hampshire, High Peaks in New York... This place outside of Jim Thorpe, PA might actually work for you as well... http://www.campingatroundstone.com/

The key is that you have to be present. She can use your gun at the range for target practice, but you have to be present. As far as a "transfer" in your home. You are responsible, largely, for anything that happens in your home with you and your guns, so , if you add an additional layer, she would certainly not be less responsible if it was your gun. It is just another layer that an eager prosecutor can pursue.

You guys have pretty much hashed out the legality of it. But, it is EVERYONE'S responsibility to know and follow the law. Broken gun laws in NJ result in felonies and jail time. And, many officers of the law are either anti-Constitution, or they are ignorant of the law and arrest first and sort it out later. So, even if you know the law, you are at risk in the Republik. And, it appears Christie only pardons once or twice a year when it might be politically expedient.

Great news! Put a revolver and 1911 away for the little one.

Great list from the Toad! Some of these may or may not have been on there, but they are a great place to start. Get the PFD at gunfacts. http://johnrlott.blogspot.com/ http://crimepreventionresearchcenter.org/ http://americangunfacts.com/ http://www.gunfacts.info/

Whose plan and what is the end result?

It's most likely the magazines themselves.

I don't believe that they are spineless. They are in collusion or compromised, or both, as evidenced by the "Republican" Congress. If they just happen to do the right thing, it will either be a coincidence, or the whole thing was contrived to make them look better and to distract from something else.

The merry powers that be are also looking into classifying AR pistols, etc. so that you will need a tax stamp.

Yes, great points! To be "well-rounded" there are categories of tools one should attempt to fill. Having a small concealable handgun of a decent caliber is one of those things (and being able to practice with it while it is still legal). And, if you ever find yourself in a state you can carry in, then you are all set.

I completely agree with this logic.

10-round mags are on order of Italy. A compact version is probably going to be released soon.

Are there any NJ-legal magazines with either 10 or 15 rounds? I thought these were suppose to accept M9 magazines and hence 15-rounders, but that does not appear to be the case. By the way, if a compact version of this gun is released, I can see myself buying at least a couple if I can get over the fact that they are produced in Turkey.

For a carry gun in .45 ACP, I would look at the S&W M&P 45C instead of a 1911. That would be my carry gun in .45 ACP. And, the S&W 625 that was suggested would be an awesome revolver idea.

To be safe, it is better to register.

I don't recommend that. Here is why. WE need a constitutional conservative. The Republican Party leadership (Rove, Bush, Boehner, McConnell) will NEVER willingly let one win. They would rather have a statist Democrat than that. If you get rid of your party affiliation, you most likely cannot vote in the primaries for the MOST conservative candidate and then the Republican party leadership will surely choose the next candidate which will not help save our country. You will ensure that a progressive statist wins. WE HAVE RUN a CONSTITUTIONAL CONSERVATIVE. The Republican talking heads would rather throw the election than usher in conservative policies. The coming up primaries are crucial. We should certainly show our displeasure to the RNC with letters, etc. and making donations to specific candidates we support, instead.

And, even if We the People prevail, it will be at what cost?
