Here is John Lott on why the appointment of the next SCJ will be critical for the 2A. I haven't seen a post about it, but the CA Supreme Court upheld a law that they admit was impossible to comply with. Consequently a whole host of handguns are now illegal to sell in CA. Lott explained.

Thanks for that post. That may come in handy for me.

Some of you are still confusing residency with domicile. I also suggest you read the statutes and regulations from states you're interested in. Income taxes are usually the focus and where you are domiciled determines where you pay your income tax. (Although there are scenarios where you can be liable for income tax in two or more states.) One thing is for sure: When I own a home, pay property taxes on it, live in it from time to time, pay its utilities and don't rent it, I'm sure as hell not a guest!

I don't know. They should, since that's the ID vehicle for people who don't drive. However, if I recall correctly, the PA DMV will not issue either a DL or ID card to you if you hold a DL or ID card in another state. You would have to surrender the latter to get the former. Check the application form and page at the PA DMV.

I suggest you review ATF Ruling 2010-6, which says in part: "ATF has previously addressed the eligibility of individuals to acquire firearms who maintain residences in more than one State. Federal regulations at 27 CFR 478.11 (definition of State of Residence), Example 2, clarify that a U.S. citizen with homes in two States may, during the period of time the person actually resides in a particular State, purchase a firearm in that State. See also ATF Publication 5300.4 (2005), Question and Answer B12, page 179. Similarly, in ATF Ruling 80-21 (ATFB 1980-4, 25), ATF held that, during the time college students actually reside in a college dormitory or at an off-campus location, they are considered residents of the State where the on-campus or off-campus housing is located." (underline mine) When I reside in PA at my second home the ATF says I'm allowed to buy firearms. One issue is in the case of handguns the PA State Police want to see a PA drivers license on the background check, since they are the intermediary to the federal system. So they effectively supersede the ATF ruling with their requirement. PA FFLs will not accept any other proof-of-residency documents for a hand gun purchase other than a PA DL. I would also refer you to the concepts of 'domicile' vs. 'residency'. I can have several residences, but only one domicile. Usually the domicile is the determinant for tax purposes. At some point I may very well acquire a PA DL. That does not in and of itself establish my 'domicile'. Only one of several possible 'residencies'.

Why are there no Knock Knock jokes about America? Because Freedom rings.

Hey TE, thanks for posting up that second video. Food for thought.

I checked my FFL on Friday, and NICS said they're staying open. That is an income source. And part of the NJSP. Good. My 30 day wait is over July 5. Hahahaha! Another pistol purchase. Suck it Murphy!

Date a real man? Better look at the drop down list. But if I had created the list, mine would read: "I'm a: H&K Sig S&W Glock Crossman Daisy

Here's a current review on the FN SCAR. Love the list price.

I used Larry Potterfield's series of videos, as well as this tutorial. You didn't say if you're building from scratch or using some assembled parts. I used an upper assembly that already had the barrel installed, and I bought a complete BCG. I did everything else. Turned out well and was exactly what I wanted, including the furniture. That scenario was not tough at all.

Thanks Ray Ray.

I always assumed you were a Dreamer Howard. Now your AMERICAN dream may have come true. Great to hear, and best of luck down there. Stay in touch.

Thanks Griz. I'll keep all of that in mind and pass it on. I have a Ruger LCR in .357, and I agree with your assessment of .38 vs .357. Haven't actually tried a +P+ round in it. I'll have to do that for comparison. About 20 rounds of .357 is all I'm interested in for one session. .38 fills the rest of the time.

Thanks for that pointer. 73.

A family member won a Taurus 605 in a raffle. I know nothing about this brand or model. If anyone has experience with it and/or an opinion on it I'd like to hear it. I'm not looking to compare it with other platforms or calibers (Glock,1911 etc.). Just an opinion on it's worth for what it is. If there's comparisons to other .357 SB revolvers that would be relevant. Thanks in advance.

I willl definitely do that. Personally, aside from the money, I'd rather see the brass go to productive use.

Well, I'll be happy to offer my next bucket worth when I have it. It will be all brass, but not sorted and of various calibers. And, of course, I'm not shipping it. So there would have to be a mutually convenient point of exchange in lower Sussex or western Morris county. If anyone cares to meet the scrap price they can have it.

I haven't been paying close attention the reloading topics on the forum since I normally don't. Is $1.40/lb for handgun center-fire brass an accepted rate among re loaders. Or more? Or less?

That's right Zeke. Reloading is always lurking in my basement too. I saved a quantity of known good brass for future 'emergencies', and my RCBS implements are ready to spring into action if necessary. I would just like to dedicate my time to other things at the moment. Like... shooting!

Since Freedom Munitions has filed for bankruptcy and no longer accepts spent brass for credit, I went looking for something to do with my 58 pound bucket of brass I was planning on returning. I have discovered that brass is currently worth $1.40/lb at scrap metal dealers. That's what FM was crediting me, except I had to spend around $18 to ship it to them. So this afternoon I turned in that brass for $81.20 cash, which will buy me over 8 boxes of 9mm. So I won't be missing FM all that much.

Thanks for the opinions, but I am looking for a statement of fact from somewhere. The law as written discusses possession, not sales. Has the AG or Firearms Unit made a statement or ruling on this point? An FFL's 15-round inventory would suddenly become unsalable if the previous two opinions were true.

Murphy signed the 10-round magazine limit yesterday. There's a 180 day grace period for those citizens who already own them to get rid of them. But what about new purchases? Can FFLs in New Jersey sell handguns equipped with 15-round magazines, or stand alone 15-round magazines to NJ residents during this grace period? Has the Firearms Unit contacted any FFLs with guidance on this point? I have read the text of the law, and it is not clear at all.

He means TargetSportsUSA, which is in CT and delivers shipment to me in one day.

This was mentioned in at least one other thread, but I put it up here to stand alone because of additional info for any of you that (like me) use FM frequently. They filed for bankruptcy. The brass credit program is canned. From the brass credit web page: ** Currently not accepting brass shipments ** Any brass credit packages that are shipped after 5/22/2018 will not be accepted and returned to sender. I had a 52 pound box ready to go. Oh well.
