Here it is, just released - official outline of Dianne Feinstein's new proposed assault weapons ban
"Certain handguns that accept detachable magazines" So guess we're all shooting revolvers then?

What good is a rifled slug barrel other than hunting?
I doubt I'll ever hunt. That's why i don't think it will see too much use. Maybe I would have been better served with the standard 870 with the 28" barrel only. But I really do like the green color scheme, haha.

Am I crazy or do I remember correctly?
Yeah i knew i wasn't totally making it up in my mind. It's just in today's environment with all the regulation it almost seems like a distant fantasy land. That's why I though I was mistaken.

Am I crazy or do I remember correctly?
I may be very mistaken here, but I could have sworn that when I first moved to NJ around 1995 they sold handguns/long guns at retailers like Kmart, Sports Authority, etc. in the sporting goods section. Maybe not those exact stores, but those type of big department stores. Now that I'm typing it it sounds really nuts. But I moved from the Rocky Mountains and over there they do (or at least did at the time i moved) sell handguns in such type of stores. Did that ever exist once upon a time in NJ or am I really nuts?

Interested in a Sub-Compact/Pocket, but how can I get a feel for these before purchasing?
I own the G26 and just sent you PM on a review I did on it a little while ago. It's not for everyone as Glocks certainly have a distinct grip/feel to them. It's a very accurate subcompact. It surprises me how easy it is to shoot accurately. I used it for several USPSA and static steel matches and it held it's own against its full size counterparts. Highly recommended.

Thanks for the replies. Can you shoot buckshot through a rifled barrel?

What good is a rifled slug barrel other than hunting?
I got a Remington 870 combo the other day. It has a 23" rifled slug barrel that has a mount for optics. The other barrel is a 28" non-rifled sporting type barrel. The original thought was I'd use the slug barrel once in a while for fun and maybe it would serve a different purpose down the road. That is until I bought a box of slugs... Cheapest stuff at the store was $14 for 5. I've seen them in bulk for around $1 a pop but that is way to much for just "fun shooting". Also I did not find sabot slugs in bulk, only the rifled slugs. So what do I do just sell this thing? Cause I'm not gonna spend $100 just to zero a scope i'm not gonna really use. Unless you guys have some ideas and reasons why I should hold on to it I may list it for sale.

Dick's Sporting Goods BOYCOTT
I find it weird gun owners calling other gun owners on a gun forum anti-gun (Second Amendment).

I just got some extra gas for the generator.
Good call. One thing I learned from Sandy: You can NEVER be too prepared!

10/22 takedown
Is it small enough to fit in a medium size range bag? I think it would be cool to have a 22 rifle with you and not have to have a separate rifle case.

4 new permits coming soon - what calibers to get in light of new legislation?
Just my opinion but I'd buy whatever you originally wanted to buy and not let the talk of new laws dictate your purchases. If and when the time comes you have to make changes as members said before you will most likely have to just use lower capacity mags. If you really had your mind set on something I say just go for it. Anyways all the talk is on pistol grip style rifles and I've not heard anything about handguns.

Thinking about a .45, depending on new firearms laws
Never wore off for me. In fact it continues to grow on me. But yeah, it's not for everyone. But everyone should try it at least once! Sig P220 is a good option for a 45 btw.

I hate Craigslist
i call it Cracklist. I hate it just like you. I won't say I've never used it to buy/sell. I have. But the experience does suck. You have to be much more patient. It is, however, free. I have found paying for an ad in a local paper or buying from a local paper ad has seemed to be less of a headache.

Unbelievable...4 firemen shot Rochester NY
That's crazy. And look at this dumb comment: Hunters: Isn't this too high a price for the rest of society to have to pay so that you can have unrestrained access to guns for your little hobby?

recommendation for carrying
Try in waistband. Some people can do it, some people hate it. As for me I have carried IWB with a Tenacious and it has not bothered me at all. It is completely concealed and draws little attention (including my own). It's not for a quick draw for sure and it is slower to re-clip (?) back into your waistband. But it does free up your pockets which is nice. One other thing you can try is a belt pouch/sheath. I wasn't too keen on it at first, but it actually works very nicely. Don't feel it at all, frees your pockets, and pretty concealed if you don't tuck in your shirt.

Dick's Sporting Goods BOYCOTT
They got good deals on 870s so I bought there. I look for the cheapest price. I don't get too much into the politics. The fact that there is a commercial, sporting goods/retailer still selling guns in NJ is good enough for me.

Prescription shooting glasses
In the meantime wear something like this. http://www.nrastore.com/nrastore/productdetail.aspx?p=sa+446&ct=e I own a pair and they work well. You can get a cheaper version off Amazon for like $8. Don't rely on just your regular perscription glasses for eye protection. I made that mistake and have had debris somehow find it's way around the lens and into my eye. Nothing serious but it could have been.

anyone else glad they DON'T have an AR right now?
I would be bummed out if I didn't get mine a few months back. I've always wanted one. I'm not happy that there is a chance it will be my only one and that I will have a hard time getting parts and mags for it. I see what you're saying, but personally if I didn't have mine I'd be upset because it has always been on my list of rifles i wanted to own.

cabelas and dixions were insane today!
Yeah i know someone who wen to the PA show. He said it sucked. 1200 guns sold by noon. Even handgun prices and handgun ammo were jacked up.

Thinking about a .45, depending on new firearms laws
I have not heard or experienced 10 rounders being less reliable than their 7/8 round counterparts. They seem to work 100% for me. CMC Power Mags. If there was a capacity limit down to 10 I probably would focus more on bigger calibers and revolvers. Don't get me wrong. I have 10 rd 9mm mags and I usually don't load more than 10 anyways when I shoot. It just irks me when something is "neutered".

Feinstein just announced a new proposed assault weapons ban
I don't really get too into these debates. But one thing I always seem to see from the anti-gun side of the spectrum is they do not even understand what they fear. For instance on the radio today (NPR) the guest was explaining how open carry means you can't have it in a holster, you have to be holding the gun in your hand... Hmm... I'd like to see how that'd play out. During this shooting they said the shooter had a 22 caliber gun. Big difference between 22 and 223. They say they want to ban "high powered ammunition/guns". Ask any of them to name ONE "high powered" caliber. The focus is on "assault weapons/rifles" with pistol grips. So what: a Rem 870 with an extended tube full of buck shot or slugs is harmless? That's the part that gets to me the most. Total IGNORANCE from the other side. But I guess what they say is true. You fear that which you don't understand.

Legally armed security guard thwarts attempt at mass shooting
Hmm, where are all the camera crews? No news on this? Hmm.... seems a little, bias, if you ask me.

Flex your mossberg
Could this system be implemented on a semi-auto or is it only possible on a pump action?
