Get your buts over to dicks paramus, they had a large umc shipment this morning. They have .45, .38, .357, .223. I just picked up 2 50 round boxes of .223 for $24.99 a box. And a 500 round bulk pack of .45 for $229.99. They had one bulk pack of .40, 650 rounds foe $249.99. I would have gotten it but I reached my max 3 boxes. I saw some boxes of .22 as well.

good idea

That would turn washington, trenton, albany, etc... into ghost towns

Unfortunately it's true, I buy crap for no reason. Racked up a 16k credit card bill in the last 2 years. When my wife found out I had only 2 choices, get help or get divorced. I chose the former for obvious reasons.

I am on OCD medication because i'm a compulsive shopper, the only danger I pose is to my credit card. But this law would most likely disqualify me and others in similar situations.

I guess everyone missed this one " 1.2 Clarify an Applicant’s Duty to Disclose His or Her History of Mental Health/Addictions Evaluation and Treatment N.J.S.A. 2C:58-3(e) should be amended to provide that an applicant for a firearms purchaser identification card and/or handgun purchase permit must disclose whether he or she has ever been attended, treated, or observed for a mental or psychiatric condition by a psychologist, licensed clinical social worker, or any other licensed mental health care professional, and not only by a physician or psychiatrist. The statute should also be revised to make clear that an applicant must disclose whether he or she has ever been prescribed medication for a mental health or substance abuse condition. " This means that you have to disclose if you have been on medication for depression, OCD, ADD, stress, etc... How many of you have been on these types of medications?

I will have to buy new brass eventually, right? What I have won't last forever.

After doing some price comparisons on cabelas, brownells, midwayusa I noticed something that most of you probably already know, new brass is quite expensive compared to the other components. How many times can brass be reused? and can I reuse the brass from new WWB, UMC, american eagle, lawman, etc... ammo?

Thanks for all the advise, I still have a lot of research to do. From a safety perspective, I live in a townhouse, the only place I have to reload is my garage, how do you safely store the powder and primers?

I am seriously considering getting into reloading, but know nothing about it. I know that one of the pros is saving money, but how much money can I save? What are some of the other pros? What are the cons? Where can I take a reloading class in central jersey? How much will decent equiptment cost me to reload (.40, .45, .38, .357, 223, 30-30(maybe), 12guage(maybe)) and where to buy the equiptment? I appreciate any and all advice.

I would say leave it alone, but I would really like to see something that forbids congress from exempting themselves from the laws they pass.

What is churn wire?

The safe I currently have weighs 500lbs empty and it is bolted down to the floor joists in my closet. The only thing keeping it from falling thru the floor is that it's right over a load bearing wall. Their is nowhere I can put a second or larger safe. My only option for a larger safe and bolting it down to the concrete is my garage. I don't want to put it in the garage for 2 reasons, 1) garage door is easy to break into and it being in the garage, someone can tie a chain to it and pool it out with a truck. 2) there is no alarm in the garagew and plenty of tools, so if i'm not home, a potential theif can have almost limitless time to try and break into it. But if I do the hidden closet right, no thief will ever find it.

I have been contemplating this for quite a while now and I wanted to get everyones opinion. I have the standard fireproof gun safe, no where near top-of-the line and is running out of room. I know that the primary reason for a safe is for fire and burglary protection. I have been thinking of bulding a fake wall in my walk-in-closet, build a box out of plywood, probably 1" and make it 4ft x 4ft x 10in. The only thing I have to figure out is how to make the door seems invisible and a locking mechanism. fireproofing should not be a problem since there are literally hundreds of products available to fireproof wood. I have pretty much made up my mind to do this but I would still like to hear everyones oppinion, maybe there is something I didn't think of.

I, for one, have never vowed to boycott Dick's. A lot of people hate Dick's because of their policies and their employees' lack of gun knowledge. First of all, Dick's is a large corporation and their primary concern as such is their bottom line, which is understandable. They took all AR rifles off their shelves after newtown to avoid a backlash from consumers, lets not forget, Dick's is not a gun shop, they are a sporting goods store and firearm related sales are a small percentage of their business. From a business perspective, it makes more sense to annoy a small percentage of their customers such as gun owners verses annoying everyone who shops there for everything else. Regarding their employees' lack of gun knowledge, again, they are a sporting goods store not a gun shop. What I like about Dick's is that they are, for the most part, honest about their policies and don't try to screw over their customers. If I had a choice of buying ammo from a gun shop that sells ARs and a boat load of knowledge, but who charges $54 for a box of UMC .45, or Dick's who charges $24.99 for the same box of ammo. I will choose Dick's every time.

CTD are a bunch of a-holes, They wouldn't sell me a +2 base plate for a glock 21 (.45) magazine, which is 13 rounds. Their reasoning, the same base plate can be used on the .40 glock magazine to make a 17 round mag. They also wouldn't sell me an adjustable stock, even after I assured them that it was for a pump 12ga.

I have been boycoting online retailers for a while now. Luckily I have enough ammo to hold me over for awhile, and I have only been buying from dick's last few months, when they have something, because they haven't raised their prices a single penny. They have stopped all sale prices(buy one, second 50% off) on their ammo but that is understandable, due to the shortage.

This is not a conspiracy. I have absolutely no plans of buying any type of magazine build kit, Just trying to understand the law, which isn't easy in NJ.

The parts of a 30 round magazine are not capable of providing over fifteen rounds of ammunition continuously and directly to a semi-automatic firearm if do don't have all the parts in your possesion. If I don't have the floor plate or the spring or the follower, the remaining parts are not capable of being assembled into a functioning magazine.

This article is proof that the zombie appocolypse has begun, our state, federal and local governments are run by brain dead meat bags. This prosecutor is the poster child for our screwed up mental health system.

I will play devils advacate here. Contructive intent/possetion stipulates that a person has possetion of all parts required to assemble, in this case a 30 round AR mag. What if said person has the main body, follower and spring but does not have possetion of the floor plate. Would that be illigal? You can't contruct a working mag without a floor plate.

I'm definately in

I might be wrong but I think a dis-assembled magazine might fall under the constructive intent clause.

To think, I almost ruined it by putting a 4" barrel on it. Thanks to the folks on this board for talking me out of it.
