I started reading the article. The author writes like a teenager texting. "was"?! that is not a sentence I think I'll stop reading it.

Got it. You can't use your shotgun at the shotgun range, but at the muzzleloader range

Can you show me a specific WMA range at which you can shoot buckshot or slugs?

I have trouble reading anything on that web site, or the related ones like Lifehacker, because the writers and commenters are mostly smarmy, know-it-all, liberals.

I don't think that is true. The WMA range regulations say: Shotgun is for fine shot (lead-free at Assunpink; smaller than No. 4 lead or No. T steel ammunition) only. NO BUCKSHOT OR RIFLED SLUGS. http://www.nj.gov/dep/fgw/ranges.htm

I have mixed feelings on whether or not he disrespected the president. We cannot expect that there will always be someone in the White House with whom we agree, but he also has the right to freely express himself. On two other points: 1) By refusing to meet with the president, does he just add to the divisiveness that is already a huge problem in this country? Does he detract from the spirit of working with those who hold opposing views, attempting to do what is best for the country? Probably not. My understanding is that he posted on facebook that he believes both political parties are responsible for the mess this country is in. 2) By refusing to go with his team, does he disrespect his teammates? We all have had times in our lives, as part of a team (family, sports, work, military, etc.), when we have had to put aside personal feelings for the good of the team. By doing this, he drew attention to himself, rather than to the accomplishments of the team. The point of the white house meeting was to celebrate a team accomplishment. On this account, I would have to say he was wrong. As an aside, he was one of only two Americans on the team.

I think the CDM Mod-C clamp will work. If not, there's always duct tape. http://www.cdmgear.com/product.html

You make a good point that we do not know all the facts (and never will). However, the fact that a grand jury cleared the officer -- not an internal investigation, but a grand jury -- would seem to indicate that the shooting was justified. Also, the 911 call was placed by the child, not the wife, so I infer that she was genuinely fearful for her mother's wellbeing. In other words, it does not seem to be the case of a wife making an idle threat to call 911 during an argument. So we have an alleged assault by a husband that was heated enough that the daughter called 911; we have a man with a loaded handgun; and we have a responding officer shooting the man. A grand jury investigated and cleared the officer of any wrongdoing. Meanwhile, the lawsuit goes beyond mere negligence, and claims that the officer acted with "malicious motive and intent." If the lawsuit had just stopped at negligence, I might agree with you that we should not rush to judgment against the attorney. However, given all the above, I am comfortable with concluding that either the attorney or the woman, or both, are being motivated by pure greed.

I just bought one of these for $70 for my Rem 870 - Fenix TK11 http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003EGGY70/ref=oh_o02_s00_i00_details You can also get a remote switch for it http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001QVGQIC/ref=oh_o02_s01_i00_details

I'm also hoping to purchase a handgun in about a month, with similar choices. For those who are recommending the Glock 19, why that instead of the 17? Is it just because of 15 round magazines vs. 10 round?

A slingshot. Oh, wait, nevermind.

I agree with you, but you can imagine what happens when a politician who does this is up for re-election. "My opponent proposed legislation to allow more deadly assault weapons on the street. He doesn't care about the safety of you or your children. blah blah blah ..."

I have a Boxer, too (86 lbs.) Her "big dog" bark definitely makes people think twice. Actually, if it is UPS, she will start barking if their truck stops in front of the house, before they even reach the door. We live on a very quiet cul-de-sac and she alerts us to anything out of the ordinary. Boxers are very protective. We rarely get unexpected visitors. I've lived in this house 8.5 years and I cannot remember anyone stopping by to sell something.

Does that mean that a "slungshot" is technically legal?

The CDM clamp (Mod-C) is a good example of how you can attach a light. I have the Rem 870 Express Synthetic 7 round (model 25077) and I am happy with my choice. http://www.cdmgear.com/product.html

Another positive vote for NJ Manufacturers. I have not comparison shopped in a few years, but the last time I did they were significantly cheaper than the nearest competitor.

Kevin, I am not a hunter, but I recently took the course. You probably know this, but if you're going to go bow hunting, you also have to qualify for that, separate from shotgun. Same for muzzle loading.

Whoa -- too much common sense in that statement, at least for NJ. I'd even go beyond that. In my Chuck Norris fantasy, suppose armed bad guy #1 breaks through my front door with a stolen, banned "assault" weapon. I leap from the stairs, delivering a flying kick to his head that knocks him out. I then grab his weapon to shoot armed bad guy #2 who is coming through the door. I will shoot him, with a stolen, illegal gun that I do not own (assuming I can figure out how to operate it). I will do what it takes to protect my family, even if it may technically be illegal under the confusing and controlling laws of our state.

My son is active military. How can he buy one?

Also, if one did get a Fish & Wildlife fine for violating their regs, is that something that would show up in a background check and jeopardize future PP applications? I agree with those who think it is prudent to not even risk anything -- don't bring a handgun to a WMA.

The Black River WMA near Chester has an archery range and a shotgun range. At least one person in the party must have a valid hunting license in order to use them. Other than that, they are free.

Bingo! I was there a few weeks ago.

You did the right thing. It's stupid to end up in a place like this for being very casual about the gun laws
