High Exposure

I am making no such assumptions. I know that there were people of all color, religion, and social/cultural background there. The victims and shooters could be from any of them. I do find it odd though, that in this particular instance, no description of the shooter or background of the victims was given - this in direct opposition to just about every other media story covering a shooting by a white male over the last year. Is the media finally getting it that violent people are violent and race doesn't always factor in to the equation (yes, there are bigots and racists out there in every culture, but not every action is motivated by bias). Or does this incident not fit in the media's carefully crafted narrative of white violence? This is all of course over the background of NJ's gun laws and their inabity to protect anyone, including these 2 victims from the dark intentions of evil men - regardeless of what politicians want people to believe.

Excellent way of putting it!

Title updated to reflect erroneous info by the media. Reports now are that there were two shot and in critical/serious condition. No DOA. I want to know why there is no mention if race in this article. In every other shooting recently the race of the shooter and victims has been stated numerous times in the article. Not here. Why? There is even a suspect "on the loose". Wouldn't it be prudent to give at least a basic suspect description?

Wow! I wonder what kind of backlash this will have for us. A shooting, in a state with draconian gun laws, in a public place. I wonder if the shooter knew or cared that he was breaking some laws by carrying a gun.... One Dead After Shooting At PNC Arts Center In Holmdel; Shooter Reportedly On Loose http://patch.com/new-jersey/middletown-nj/s/f5vm5/update-one-dead-after-shooting-at-pnc-arts-center-in-holmdel-shooter-reportedly-on-loose?utm_source=alert-breakingnews&utm_medium=email&utm_term=police%20%26%20fire&utm_campaign=alert

Which one has been most reliable? Which one do you shoot best? All things being equal, I would go with the Kahr P40.

Nope. I am talking about a standalone 870 Wingmaster with a 10" barrel, it has a 3 round capacity. The +1 extension I bought off you last year gives me 4 rounds and makes a nice standoff adapter. This six12 would give me 6 rounds in a package the same size. That's a huge plus. Gives me 2 more tries to immediately attempt the breach before moving to an alternate brech point. Agreed, that's not a use everyone needs - I've never had to conduct a ballistic breach outside of training and it is only authorized under very particular and specific circumstances with higher authority approval - but it is the use that the Six12 shotgun was designed for.

I can. Now I can get six shots out of a breaching shotgun instead of just 4, all in a package of similar size to what I currently am issued. I can increase the capacity of a SBS without increasing length or adding a long-ass box mag that sticks out the bottom and smacks me in the dick every time I move or slams my knee every time I get low. Remember, this shotgun wasn't designed for sporting, HD, or hunting use. It was designed to be a direct competitor for the M26 and Remington MCS for Military and LEO use as a standalone shotgun or "Masterkey" set up. I would say the the comparison between this and the Tavor is slightly flawed. Yes, they are both bullpups, but the Tavor was designed to replace a fighting carbine. The Six12 was designed to replace an entry tool. It's still a shotgun and thanks to the variety of 12g ammo out there it can be re-purposes to a fighting shotgun or HD, but that was not the primary intended use. It is a useful byproduct of the design. Besides - Australia, New Zealand, Austria (to name a few) have been using a bullpup (Steyr AUG) as a standard infantry rifles for decades before the Tavor reared its ugly head. Pun intended. Not to mention the UK's and France's awesome experience with their bullpup abortions. The idea if a Bullpup design for firearms is not new by any stretch of the imagination.

New guns get cleaned, lubed, and inspected prior to their first range trip. Work guns get wiped down and lubed after every range session. They get cleaned, inspected, and lubed every 1000-1500 rounds. They will also get wiped down and lubed after working a shift in the rain or after a tour in high humidity - like this week. Non-work guns get wiped down and lubed every 1000-2000 rounds. They are cleaned and given a thorough inspection once a year. If I am attending a class, I will wipe down and apply lube during the mid-day break period. Preventative maintenance is conducted on all guns as per the manufacturer's recommendations and my personal experience with the platform. Generally I will swap parts out (action springs, recoil springs, trigger springs, bolts, gas rings, etc...) between 3000-5000 rounds, depending on the platform. Other than inspections or PM replacements, if I am spending more than 10 minutes working on a gun, something is wrong.

Paul, email sent. Thanks.

I have the same issue in Middletown. My address on all mail and my driver's license is Atlantic Highlands, but I'm technically in Middletown Twp. Middletown Twp. handles everything - emergency services, my kids school, taxes - including FID and all permits. They even put Atlantic Highlands on my FID so there are no issues with it matching my DL. Galloway should do the same thing.

On a pistol: Surefire X300U Rifle: Some flavor of Surefire Fury - P2X, P3X, or the Fury/Scout hybrid M600P Or Insight WMLX On my belt/gear/vest: Surefire Fury P2X Dual illum In my pocket: FourSevens Quark - I have 6 of these small lights, 5 cr123 versions and 1 AA version. I carry one with me at all times. Slides into my left front pocket with no issues and balances out the folder in my right front pocket.

What's the difference between Tac-optics and Open?

^^^ Who is that masked she-man?

I'll be there this Sunday for the Steel Match. Is there anywhere to find more info about the carbine match? Pistol caliber or center fire? Steel, paper or both? Round count? Thanks

Why biometric? Look at simplex lock safes. Cheaper, more reliable, no batteries. They make a few different kinds, most are quite secure - especially the ones that you sink into the wall between the studs.

Capt. Stegner. Thank you for your service. Now STFU and stop being a bureaucrat and start being a Marine again. I'll be the voice of dissent here. Capt. Stegner is 100% correct. Some thoughts in reference to armed citizens in front of recruiting stations: 1) Capability: Soldiers would be better armed with M4's. A cache of M4's in a duffel bag would be better than an unknown civilian armed guard. Yes, I know, for now that isn't going to happen. But, there are better ways for the volunteers to go about this. Hell, an alleged "former Marine" brought a Mosin-Nagant and a Taurus Judge........ Jesus Titty-Fucking Christ 2) Exploitation: I am just waiting for Muhj to get smart and send a dude dressed in the American flag tank top, cut off camo pants, eating a hot-dog, and carrying an Apple pie to stand guard - then pull his openly carried piece and shoot up the place. Or some Muslim skank with big tits and eyeliner to caress and fondle some civilian's weapon and then snatch it and turn it on everyone. Don't give them the position or materiel to better execute their goals. 3) Lack of combat mindset Looking through pictures of these armed citizens, I see a few constants: overweight, lack of proper clothing for the task at hand, no sights on weapons, poor weapons manipulation... These are not the type of people you want guarding anyone. These are not the type of rifles you want to pick up after Muhj burns down Slappy McTrigger open carrying because he's bored, tired, and not scanning his sector vigilantly. People would be much better off doing this kind of stuff being concealed and acting like Walmart greeters for the recruiting centers, welcoming young people to the centers to talk to recruiters rather than playing soldier dress up in a place they never went if they REALLY wanted to do what they are pretending to do. I would much rather see conservatively dressed former service members or professionally dressed armed citizens, who are discretely armed, who simply say "we are here to be the eyes and ears for law enforcement if we see something suspicious and to welcome young people to the military in a safe manner." Much better than some dumb ass in his active shooter load out playing Call of Duty/security contractor. Same guy who cannot administratively unload a firearm without discharging it.....which has happened at least twice that we know about. Clownshoes. 4) Lack of Authority What authority do they have to stop anyone from doing anything? What kind of protection are they really offering? If they tell you to stop, and you don't, then what? Are they searching you if you look suspicious? Are they doing this at gunpoint? What is the plan to de-escalate when they find out that the kid they just stopped is a local food delivery guy and not Johnny Jihadi? Some fool pulls that on the wrong guy and there will be some serious issues for all involved - and lucky if no one is seriously injured or killed. 5) Lack of training Most of these volunteers are not trained in proper discrimination for suicide vests, concealed weapons, and visual / behavioral indicators. What's gonna happen when Slappy McTrigger shoots some college kid with a backpack and earphones on, ditty boppin' down the sidewalk, who doesn't acknowledge Slappy's command to stop? What's gonna happen when Slappy McTrigger ND's their weapon? Shoots himself? Shoots another "guard"? It's gonna happen, hell the NDs have happened already: http://www.dispatch.com/content/stories/local/2015/07/23/recruiting-center-shot-fired.html 6) Stolen Valor How many of these dudes are legit veterans? How many of those are combat veterans? I'd venture few. Yeah, I get it. DOD regulations are some serious bullshit. This makes you feel all 'Murica seeing citizens stand up. Yeah, me too, but so what? Look at this from a ruthless force-protection standpoint. Armed citizens have some serious 2nd & 3rd Order Effects that need to be taken into consideration. I think some of these guys are honestly trying to bring attention to a very real problem (recruiting stations are soft targets). However, I think a lot of them are playing dress up and attention whore. Just because they're there does not give them a pass. When these folks get out there and get their pictures taken, they are de facto ambassadors of gun owners to the rest of the world. They're hurting us all and especially hurting the cause they claim to to be supporting. How hard is it to at least put on a collared shirt and say open carry a holstered pistol? Or...... God forbid - a holstered pistol UNDER their collared shirt to REALLY make it about the goal of helping the recruiters as opposed to making a statement.

Like PB said, yes - a smaller round means a smaller pistol grip on standard configuration semi-autos ie: magazine in grip design. However, there becomes a point where the grip is just too small - this falls under "Just because you can doesn't mean you should". Both 9mm and .380 pistols could be made smaller still, but you reach a point of diminishing returns. I have found that generally anything smaller than a single stack 9mm size grip - think Kahr PM9 size - is less than desirable in a gun that's to be used for defensive purposes, again for the reasons PB stated above. Those small .380s are hard to shoot - not that you can't get good at it, the juice just isn't worth the squeeze when you can get a 9mm in the same size package. Drives me crazy when someone says they are going to get a Ruger LCP/S&W Bodyguard for their wife/daughter/girlfriend because they think 9mm is too much and .380 is easier to shoot, and a smaller gun will "fit their hand" better. Back in the day, the only way to get a small gun was small calibers. The .25ACP then is the size of a .380 now. A .380 then is the size of a modern 9mm or even .40 now. Hell, we have modern 9mm pistols the same size as modern .380s now. The material science back then just wasn't capable of what it is today.

That's what you did with the two FSC556 brakes you pinned for me - and it worked well. I just don't think I would trust myself, or someone that doesn't do that regularly, to get it done correctly.

MidwestPX covered it. If you end up using a crush washer don't be surprised if you get the equivalent of a baffle strike on the muzzle device.

If I understand what you are saying (it's confusing without seeing it) it sounds like your uncle had too much finger in the trigger. Have him slide his trigger finger back so the trigger is touching his finger closer to the tip, and further from the first knuckle.

All that would take is a few phone calls. Look at how many resources the recent anonymous SWATTing calls in Monmouth and Middlesex County tied up. No need to expose yourself by doing something borderline illegal in public.

Yeah they were on alert. Some Muslim whack-job shot up two military facilities yesterday and killed 4 Marines and Tennessee. Some intel reports suggest there may be more targeted attacks in support of ISIS/ISIL on military facilities stateside.
