I read somewhere that, because this happened in Texas Chipotles HAD to say no open carry because in Texas it's illegal to take a long gun into a place that sells alcohol. The "Mothers" are claiming victory but the chain did it to be compliant with state law. That said, these open carry clowns are making everyone look bad.

Stumbled on it last night and watched it again. What a piece of crap. A shooting victim from the Colorado theater incident that "Knows" the carnage would be less if it wasn't an AR-15. Scenes of dozens of wanna-be operators blasting away all at once, and Yeager... message: "Gun people are nuts". Funny though, they did mention early on that 39 states have NO restrictions on AR type rifles. That's almost 80% of the states. THAT is a HUGE majority, so that statistic makes no regulation of AR rifles THE NORM! Not some lunatic fringe.

I know nothing about the PPQ but I have an XDs in 45. In my opinion it is VERY well balanced for shooting 45acp out of a tiny, light gun. The grip is ok, with my pinky hanging off on the 5 rd mag and the 7 round mag feels almost like a 1911. A friend with a G30 shoots my XDs as well or better than his gun. I'm a lousy shot but I shoot the XDs as well as any pistol I own, and I really love it. It cycles everything I have fed it except for lead semi wad cutters. 5 rounds is a concern, but it's also a concern if you carry a snubby. BUT with the 5 rd mag it is extremely concealable. I'm a fan of the XDs.

Several years ago I bought a couple of handguns from Lawmen when they had their shop on Rt. 30. I'm not LEO.

We have one in nickel. Nice gun.

Thanks for speaking out to these arrogant humps.

My wife has a Model 19 nickel finish police revolver that has a sweet trigger, but she "thinks" the gun is too loud. Her favorite (as in she shoots almost nothing else) is a 4" stainless, 7-round S&W 686. It's an L frame gun, which is pretty big, but I got her a crimson trace grip that is smaller than the original grip and she just loves it. It really is a sweet gun, but I never shoot it unless she is out shooting because I don't want to clean it. I never get it clean enough for her.

Nice looking gun! Congratulations. Here's hoping it shoots as good as it looks.

I can tell you it has GOT to be better than human health insurance. Sorry I'm not more help.

Ammoman is a NJ company. He now has an out-of-state facility so he can ship to you in NJ. Previously he could not ship within NJ. You had to go there, show your FID card and pick up the ammo.

Nice looking pup! Good luck with her. Our world revolves around our two Jindo pups.

A few years ago I bought a Baikal o/u used for $300. Nothing wrong with it, works great, and it was cheap. It's not the prettiest shotgun, but you can hunt with it, paddle your canoe with it, beat a brown bear to death with it, then go shoot trap and it's still in one piece. Like all rusky hardware, it's STURDY.

Sorry for your loss. Puppies is the best.

I was at a meeting of my local shooting club last night and one of the guys who is always into the politics said that he was told that the A2006 and 933(?) were sent to the Senate committee, but were STALLED, unofficially tabled. The reasons he said he was told were that there's a huge budget situation they need to deal with so the gun stuff was pushed to the back burner, and also there had been such a large amount of negative mail and calls that the Dems are reconsidering. I don't know how good his information is, but if it's true I was hoping someone else could confirm it.

We have a Henry Golden Boy. It's a nice rifle and great for plinking and squirrel matches. We also have a Rossi 357 which cost less than the Henry 22 and is a good gun. It looks like a Red Rider BB gun, but this thing is light and accurate, and after break in it's pretty smooth. I also bought a video from Steve's Gunz to "hotrod" the rifle, which involves machining some parts to slick it up a bit. It's a nice project but I haven't had time for it yet. If you can afford a Winchester or an Uberti go for it...I can't.

This! Good gun and the recoil is just right.

I crimp all my pistol ammo. I think I get less feed problems and there is often a flare on some of the cases. Crimping takes care of that.

Epiphone is not a bad guitar at all. I have played several that were excellent. I have also played a lot of real Les Pauls that felt like a piece of crap. Go out and find a guitar that speaks to you. I have had all of the major electric guitars plus some oddballs...sold my collection and just have a few that play well and hold up under "working" conditions. On deciding what you want a good place to start is who are your favorite guitarists and what do they play? For amps, the modeling amps are great if you're going to be home playing or with a few friends in the garage. But for playing out they don't hold up. I played Line6 Flextones for years and went through 4 of them in about 9 years. One day they just shit the bed. Tube amps sound great and hold up, but the trouble with tube amps is that they are often difficult to play at volumes that work for you in your home. It's hard to get a good sound unless they are hummin' at a volume the AMP is happy with. I play a strat almost exclusively anymore- they just feel like they're a part of me. If you go to the website below you can hear a lot of different tones and all but just a few are strats....maybe a fender tele in there once or twice, but I can only think of one song that I used an Epiphone Sheraton. Everything else is strat, and you can do anything you want with them. If you really love the slab feel of the LP you might also look into some of the old Ibanez AR models. I used to have a double cutaway that sounded more like a LP than the LPs I"ve played. Having said all that, whatever makes you run in the house after work and plug in is the guitar you want.

Done and passed along.

I had spinal surgery at their Bensalem facility and had a great experience.

On a different forum a guy had a problem with a handgun. He sent it back to Springfield Armory and they sent him a new firearm with a new serial number along with a letter stating that the new gun was a replacement for the old gun and he's good to go. I don't think he was in NJ though. Also, this is a long gun and thankfully NJ is not as crazy with rules about them as handguns. As long as you have documentation showing the replacement with serial numbers, you at the very least have a good defense.

Being basically a red head that grew up at the beach before there was sunscreen, my dermatologist and I are best buddies and Ii have SO much experience that I self-medicate on a constant basis. A lot of early skin cancers can now be force-fed, bloomed, and destroyed by prescription creams. The damn things blossom and die right before your eyes. Also, sometimes a bad spot is the last one you would suspect. Go see a dermatologist. I go 2 or 3 times a year and have had several chunks taken off, but the cream therapy avoids a LOT of that.

"As he was last year, Assemblyman Lou Greenwald is a strong advocate of gun-control measures, including the magazine restriction. "I made a personal commitment to the families of Newtown that we would not stop fighting, no matter how long it takes until we get the magazine limit passed," Greenwald said. "In talking with the families, they will tell you, the single most important piece of legislation to stop this kind of insanity in the future is that magazine limit." Greenwald...what an ass. The assemblyman made a promise to the families of Newtown? What about his friggin' constituents? The people of NJ? And "in talking with the families" he determines what the "most important" legislation is? Talking to grief stricken people is how you decide? AND (the best part) somehow restricting magazines from 15 to 10 rounds will "Stop this kind of insanity in the future". He's going to stop insanity with a magazine limit. What a douche.

If nothing else it's more "ammo" for the NJ case if it is ever heard by SCOTUS. The fact is, this s*** we have here is unconstitutional, and it looks like it's already crumbling in CA. Maybe in my lifetime....

XDS .45 makes me feel a little safer every time I go to PA or FL. It's also very easy to carry around in my pocket at home.
