45Doll

Yes, but I have not handled or shot one yet. (We have the PPQs in 9mm, and will get the PPQs 45 sight unseen.) So, it is still on my short list. I have to prospect some more FFLs. Can you compare the PPS to the other three at all? 67GTO (good year!): I looked at the G43 first for exactly that reason. And it's a Glock so I know I can strip, rebuild, repair etc. But the trigger? Owwwww! OK, it was a rental gun, and maybe a new pistol would be better, or better with break-in. But jeeez, compared to the LC9s out of the box? No way!

I'll keep that in mind. I have a Shield 9mm and was not looking to modify a handgun probably used for self-defense purposes. Hence the factory version.

Although I didn't shoot it, I did handle a Ruger LC9s Pro today. I shoved a snap cap in and tried the trigger a number of times. IMO, the trigger is better than the 9mm Shield, and MUCH better than the Glock 43. Now it's on the buy list.

I have shot both the 43 and the Shield, watched the Hickok 45 videos, read the specs etc. I also know about the 'Pro' version of the LC9S. My specific question is about the trigger. If anyone has experience with the LC9S and one or both of the others I'd like to hear about it. I have found reviews that imply the LC9S trigger is better than the other two. Some said significantly better.

I haven't seen this story mentioned. It is too rich to pass over. Some barbarians were planning to incinerate some locals to make a point. An SAS sniper made a different point. Sometimes a drone or B-52 just can't make the point as well as a Barrett 50 caliber in the right hands.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Not through the NJSP!

Ah, a mouse again. You'll appreciate this story. When I put in the latest monitored wireless system I had it in test mode for quite a while to make sure we habituated how we used it. After a couple weeks in test mode, while checking the log I see that the basement motion sensor is going off 5 - 15 times a night. What the hell is down there? Squirrel? Raccoon? I check thoroughly and find nothing. Finally I put a video cam down there to watch the motion sensor. Yes sir, there goes a mouse running in front of it! Like six inches in front of it. Climbing up and down and all around the concrete block walls, and joists and beams with the greatest of ease. So yes, sensors will detect mouse motion too if given the chance.

There's an Excel spreadsheet for that on my computer, and it costs $0. From permit(s) date through 180 day renewal period with minimum purchase spacing dates specified. Very clever these Americans.

On or after Thursday September 29th.

It's easy to get caught in the paranoia. That's what got me started reading the actual statute text.

Yes. That is true. And that is a practice we have followed. Outside your home the concepts of transfer apply. When your friend visits your house and you hand over your new pistol to examine, that's a transfer too. He or she is not a resident.

It's really pretty simple. The statute you and others cite is talking about the possession and handling of firearms in New Jersey overall. Or to be more precise, anywhere that is not your dwelling. The statute I cited covers a tiny subset of all New Jersey space, namely your home. And within that space you as a non-prohibited person are free to handle any legally acquired, non-prohibited firearm. The concept of transfer does not apply to residents of a dwelling. I pointed this out to Nappen at one of his seminars.

The only time possession by residents in a dwelling would be an issue would be at the Federal level with Title II weapons. But since we don't have those in New Jermany the point is moot. When I get to PA there's a gun trust in my future, for that exact reason.

Thank you .50. I'll take my bows later. I would only add that as long as we're not discussing prohibited persons or weapons, or illegally acquired weapons, all residents of a dwelling are permitted to handle and carry any firearm in that dwelling. And to use if legally appropriate. I resurrected that section about willing firearms without permits too while I was hunting down the other. We just put a specific firearm clause into our wills to meet both state and federal inter-state requirements.

Not quite. NJ 2C:39-6e: "e. Nothing in subsections b., c. and d. of N.J.S.2C:39-5 shall be construed to prevent a person keeping or carrying about his place of business, residence, premises or other land owned or possessed by him, any firearm, or from carrying the same, in the manner specified in subsection g. of this section, from any place of purchase to his residence or place of business, between his dwelling and his place of business, between one place of business or residence and another when moving, or between his dwelling or place of business and place where such firearms are repaired, for the purpose of repair. For the purposes of this section, a place of business shall be deemed to be a fixed location." It does not say 'any firearm you purchased'.

My wife was not the least bit interested in a 'cute' firearm. She wanted one that was effective. Her current favorite is the Walther PPQ M2 in 9mm. She is rather potent with it. When she wants bling, she buys jewelry.

So all those shore locations where they spent millions of dollars building dunes, barriers, jetties etc. are going to be just fine. Right?

Try out this local article from last November. As usual, the black market fills the void.

Good one Mipa. I can only imagine how upset i'd we'd be if we ran out of alcohol.

How they handle this in PA. Where the hell are my scissors?

Me two. But those three aren't among the throng that needs harassment. Personally, I know it's a waste of bandwidth with the others.

Buh Bye! From the Inquirer.

I just read this review on HotAir. Apparently this book was published August 1 and I haven't heard about it. You can also read the reviews on Amazon. It's now on my buy list.

If you happen to be on 160 anywhere between Alamosa and Durango, check out Wolf Creek Pass. This isn't exactly a monument, and I wouldn't necessarily say you should drive out of your way to see it. But look at the Google map, zoom all the way in, switch to the Earth view, and follow the road marked 402 to the end. That's on top of a mountain peak, and if you look closely at the building on the left you'll see it's a microwave relay station. Beyond the loop at the end of that road is a picnic area. See the benches? We ate lunch there while looking at a 360 degree view for I-don't-know-how-many-miles of four states! There's nothing on 160 to indicate this except a normal size street sign that said "Scenic View". We just saw it by luck. And it was some drive up that 402 road to get there. Sort of like Mount Washington. But it was worth it! I wasn't surprised when I saw the AT&T Long Lines station. When you find one of those, you know you're on the highest piece of ground around. Regardless, enjoy the state. If they hadn't been contaminated by all the CA liberals I might have considered moving there myself.

If they were still making Dirty Harry movies, he'd have to consider that one. Yikes! Get me to PA! Addendum: I believe that's an SP5K, and goes for around $2,500. Watch the video. Addendum 2: If this is a handgun, why wouldn't it be legal in NJ? Don't have time right now to go through all the particulars.
