The traveling to Florida question...
You'd have to look at each state specifically but as long as you have a valid recognized CCW in said state, I would carry when I could. Including the drive through each. Again, each state has their own particular rules, including a duty to inform officers when stopped. You would do well to study each.

Pat McNamara 2 day pistol class Princeton NJ
Just poking around looking for some training classes and I stumbled upon this one right here in central NJ. Pat looks pretty intense but from what I hear he's the real deal. From what I read in the info this class IS open to the public. I will be strongly considering this. http://aliastraining.com/patmcnamara2-daytapspistol-nov14-152013-princetonnj.aspx Pat McNamara 2-Day T.A.P.S. Pistol - May 24-25, 2014 - Princeton, New Jersey Tactical Application of Practical Shooting (TAPS) - Pistol Course Overview: Tactical shooting requires agile and adaptive thinkers able to handle the challenges of full spectrum operations in an era of persistent conflict. To meet this requirement, TAPS delivers a comprehensive, systematic, progressive Train-the-Trainer shooting program focused on fundamental mastery and built for Law Enforcement officers, military personal, and qualified civilians. Designed for leaders and trainers, the TAPS course also applies to the patrol-level officer, basic level Soldiers, and civilian self & home defense minded shooters. The approach to instruction is through coaching and mentorship and both demonstrates and transfers a training method that is safe, effective, combat relevant, and encourages a continuous thought process that demands accountability. Training is conducted on the range and focuses on advanced refinement of the basic fundamentals of marksmanship as applied to the primary and secondary weapons systems. Utilizing a building block learning model, TAPS combines the pressures and dynamics of competitive shooting and tactical application. While course of instruction is on the firing range, the TAPS training approach also translates into training venues outside the range. Course Outline: The 2-day course offering provides the following training and instruction: - Lecture on proper weapons handling and safety - Refresh the fundamentals and grouping exercises - Conduct a diagnostic course of fire - Conduct a discussion on the importance of performing a focal shift during training and avoiding mundane drills that do not encourage a thought process - Other topics covered and practiced are; grouping exercises with both primary and secondary weapon systems, target discrimination, use of barricades, movement, close quarter battle techniques, immediate action drills, ballistics 101, transitions, magazine changes - Escalation of training and intensity will vary depending on number of students and their skill level though the core of the course will always remain the same - This course is marksmanship intensive. Instructor: Patrick McNamara (AKA - "Mac") Class dates: May 24-25, 2014 Location: Princeton, NJ Franklin Township Police Range 4397 Rt. 27 Princeton, NJ 08540 **This is an open enrollment class so any qualified student can sign up.

How many rounds...
Molle is the attachment system to the webbing (PALS) on all those vests and such you see nowadays. ALICE is the old metal clip version.

Dumbest NJ gun law
I thought that there was a gun that was nicknamed a slingshot and the dummies who wrote the law weren't specific enough and now they can't fix it.

Gonna order a 1911
Nice looking gun. When I was looking for my first gun I looked at the sig 1911's. I didnt like the feel of grip safety then, but I think I may have a second look at them. I would like a 1911 with a rail.

Sounds like a good choice. Maybe even 1/9. There are a few good compensators that help with muzzle rise but a crowned barrel is nice.

Waiting on permits...do you "buy" in advance or wait for the permit in hand?
I always buy what I want as soon as I make the decision it needs to be purchased. Who knows how long it will be available now

AR Build Questions, Guidelines, and Suggestions
I get what it was designed for (leo, military DM, etc) but I don't think its a necessity for your average citizen. Not bashing it by any means, I just build my rifles to have the best performance I can with a reasonable price.

30 bucks more for the Sparc?
I don't have the strikefire but I was comparing to the other rds's Ive had. Ive had the sight turn on a couple times in my range bag and once had the rubber control panel ripped off. They fixed it no questions asked but still kinda sucked.

Yes. I honestly don't believe an SSA type trigger is necessary on a HD/battle rifle. Just like anything with the AR platform, make the parts fit the purpose.
-
30 bucks more for the Sparc?
Agreed. Size, weight, dot are positives that I prefer. Drawback is a kinda uncommon battery and I'm not a huge fan of where the power button is located.

Does anyone want to split a case of 9mm?
I might be in for some .223 if the price was right. I have mostly PMC, or federal. Good price being 7.99-8.99 a box.
