I would look at the S&W M&P 9 Shield.

I like the Shield out of the ones you have mentioned, above. Plus S&W stands behind their products and there are already a lot of aftermarket parts, sights, holsters, etc. for the Shield. The Shield has a completely different feel to it than the 9C... much thinner and might not be as comfortable for someone with large hands. The Taurus could be a nice bargain, and Taurus has a lifetime warranty, I believe. If you are considering that route, you might also check out the Bersa.

I like the safety location on the 500 better than the Maverick..

It's a wonder that those morons put up this video. They really do look stupid. Now that is the kind of informed peace officer that we need in this nation. In NJ, there would have been a swat team if he had been just carrying a copy of Combat Handguns. He would have been arrested, suspended from the nearest elementary school, even if he was not attending, charged with carrying a "loaded" bimonthly periodical, in a gun-free school zone, and charged with having a magazine with more than 15 pages. Additionally, his FID card would have been seized and the whole event would have been put on his record. He would have also had to go through a mental health evaluation. Or, there would have been no cops around, as they are too busy giving out speeding tickets at local checkpoints, and he would have been robbed at gunpoint from one of Mike's illegal mayors trolling the streets of Bergen County to get a quick fix.

Mossberg 500 w/ an 18"-20" barrel. The standard is 12 gauge and it has superior versatility, but you might find this interesting... Consider the 20-gauge shotgun by Massad AyoobA Remington 870 and an Ithaca 37 pump action would also be a nice choice. Some people believe that a semi-auto shotgun might be better for someone not particularly familiar with a shotgun. You want a short-barrelled, typically short-stocked one and you might want to mount something to it that holds extra shotgun shells and put a light on it. A shiny bead or one with night vision capabilities might also be nice.

So, then the answer would be NOT to have Warrior Cops? If police are going to be para-military, then they better have the training, etc. before they attempt something like that. IE, they should have the right house. Storming the place should be the last resort, etc.

There shouldn't be warrior cops without warrior citizens. The private individual should be able to own just about anything issued to a average cop.

He's mine, too, up in Sussex County. However, he more or less walks the party line... Definitely not a RINO, but definitely not a leader. He's one of the few. Most of Bergen County is liberal.

Thoughts on a GAMO Big Cat pellet rifle... What is a used, like new one worth? Noticed it does not have iron sights, but only an included scope. Can a sling be easily attached?

I won't live in Bergen County due to the liberal BS.

It is the buyer's responsibility to be in compliance with all F'd up NJ laws, not the FFL dealer.

As was said above. If it is a handgun, you have to go through an NJ FFL. A long gun can be transferred through a PA FFL or NJ FFL. I believe your brother can physically bring the guns to either an NJ FFL or PA FFL to avoid shipping fees, but I would certainly be mindful of NJ transport laws. Does he have an NJ FID card?

Most favorite... Glock 23, gen3 - Perfect size and Reliable, durable and customizable, versatile with options galore, resistant to environment, simple, easily maintained and repaired, and it likes everything. Least favorite... It would also have to be the Glock 23 - Ugly and blocky, grip not adjustable and has ergonomics of a brick, sort of boring and stuck on itself. Stock sights are crappy as well and no beaver tail, and that irritating trigger blade, and trigger guard that chaffes middle finger.

Start every workout with squats. By doing a major muscle you get the testosterone flowing when doing smaller muscle groups, etc. And don't forget to do core. Don't overdo it. Listen to your body. Vary high reps with lower reps and more weight. Warm up and don't get hurt.

This... However, there is nowhere to run. Think of Colorado.

Hey, whatever happened to the global Menendez and the children he supposedly visited? Has that "investigation" been put on hold? It wouldn't matter, anyway, and CC would just appoint another RINO. Anyway, this thread has brought about an important point. If you care about your rights, you better get busy. The ONLY WAY to turn the tide is to bring more people on board as legal gun owners that see the need for personal protection. So, if you are worried about future Democrap grudges and the potential for the "Democrat" governor, then you better find ways to reach out to the community. Besides, we have a governor who is largely Democrat, now.

Are these handguns available? Has anyone had experience with or handled one at Shot Show, etc.? Arsenal Firearms Strike One Pistol http://www.ammoland.com/2013/03/arsenal-firearms-strike-one-pistol-high-speed-comparative-video/#axzz2Z8SPiDBw

You CAN legally carry a firearm in NJ. You just have to get permission. And, you CAN legally carry your firearm at your home.

Check Walmart.

NBC will have blood on its hands if one animal does something because of the outcome.

His life is ruined. Could he possibly deserve it? Maybe. But we don't know. However, his life has really been ruined not by this case, but by a political agenda that we should not be happy about. Ooops, I said that word. I hope GTOnut isn't reading this. GZ has enough problems. He has to live with the fact that he killed that underaged adult with thug-like past. That itself would be enough punishment for any decent human being, which he appears to be.

Is it only in free states that people feel that you have the right to protect your home and your neighborhood? Zimmerman really was an idiot for that, huh. If he was playing cop he wouldn't have called 911. I haven't watched all of the trial, etc., but please provide examples of his vast stupidity. He should wait for his family to be robbed, home-invaded, etc. Maybe TM, God Bless His Soul, really was casing the neighborhood with his skittles. Maybe Zimmerman saved someone in TM's future from a tragedy as well? Silly huh, well, the maybes on the other side are silly, too. And, I am a father and this was a tragedy. That's not the point. GZ should wait for his family to be robbed, etc.Instead, he should have had better training. Maybe get some Mag/40 training. it all comes down to training.

People on gun forums also argued this as well... Go figure.

Fair enough.

If racial unrest follows Zimmerman jury decision, blame it on Activist Obama It should go without saying that love and pride of country should be the first qualifications for anyone seeking the presidency of America. President Barack Hussein Obama came into the power of the White House as an activist—pushed by activists.
