Just finished watching. My take on the show: How to build a big metal box that will get put in the ground.

Been thinking about trying this. How many mags and how much ammo do you need to compete?

I have a storage unit and I know ammo is not allowed as part of my lease. Not sure about the firearms part. Considering that the storage facility is under 24 hr camera surveillance and you need a unique PIN to enter the yard combined with the high security lock on the unit door, I would say it's a secure location. If you added a safe or locking cabinet of some kind to the equation your looking real secure. I will say I would not be resting easy knowing my guns were not in my control. If I had to leave home and store my weapons I highly doubt I would have time to locate a truck and move a safe into the storage unit.

Welcome!

Let me clarify. I DO NOT SUPPORT ANYTHING THAT TAKES MY RIGHTS AWAY PERIOD!!! If I had to stand toe to toe with an anti on the subject of capacity my argument would be don't screw with the 2A, not a barrage of stats. On the subject of mag capacity, a folding stock, a flash hider, etc, there is no way these bans do a single thing to deter criminals! Have you ever had a conversation with someone who don't care about what the laws say? They don't care period! Even if some kind of ban happened in PA or even DE and MD (I'm not familiar with their laws so forgive me if they have a ban) illegal anythings will make it into NJ if there is an end user for it. If drugs can make it here from Mexico, guns, mags, ammo can make it here from anywhere.

No. I can't get behind something that make legal gun owners jump through hoops. All these laws do is make it harder on the people that are NOT criminals. Anyone from NJ can drive to PA any time, walk into a gun shop, whip out some cash and buy a 30 round mag. Same goes for ammo. So mr. gangster can take his illegal black market gun and outfit how he sees fit just by driving an hour or so. Seems to me we all stress here about getting pulled over with a gun in the car or if we have the right safe, etc. We look at our $500+ firearm as an investment, a defensive tool, a collector piece. A criminal DOES NOT CARE! As we speak there are people in NJ with not good intentions riding around with who only knows what kind of gun either on them or in their car. If they commit a crime, the guns gonna end up thrown in a river, land fill, etc. They will just go spend another couple hundred bucks in a back ally someplace and buy another one. Criminals do not care about the law!

Welcome!

Too bad were not in a free state. That would be a good competition! Two identical guns, one with a 30 round mag and one with 3 ten round mags. One or two different shooters timed and then judged on accuracy.

A while back while visiting Cabelas, the salesman at the gun counter told me how "silly" NJ mag laws were. To quote his words "anyone who knows how to shoot could cycle 3 ten round mags and get off 30 shots just as fast as someone shooting a single 30 shot one". I'm sure if someone pointed that out to the law makers, they would go for an all out ban on anything that used a magazine period.

My cousin used to belong there befor joining SJSC. He had to do work details and things of that nature as part of his membership. He also complained that in the summer months the grass was high enough that you needed to cut a line with a machetti to see the backstop from the bench. I'm not 100% sure but I think you have to be brought in by an existing member to join as well.

Red flag : shooting permitted from inside the shooting shed behind the firing line. Green flag: no shooting from behind the firing line. Green flag stays up if your walking up and shooting outside the shed. In my experience everyone has been cool about changing targets, etc. Most people will be courteous and wait till everyone stops shooting before they go up to change targets. Depending on when you go to the range, it may only be you and 1-2 other people out there.

I am going to assume that NJ2AS will be handling the petition once it reaches 10K. In regards to the prior post about only being 10K out of 8 million, 10K people is no number to sneeze at. Even if it's only constant nipping at the ankles of the giant, eventually the giant will fall. I don't know if it exists or not, but if there was a hard paper copy of the petition circulating, it would probably generate over 10K signatures. Many people that are pro 2A like hunters, collectors, etc. are not necessarily computer type people. Unfortunately, there are also types out there who won't sign a petition because they fear it will some how flag them on a "secret list" of some sort and come back to haunt them. All we can do is press on. Even if we are constantly smacked down, there will be no chance of changing everything if we just give up.

This guy does NOT know what he is talking about. A locked case and or trigger lock is a secured weapon. There is no way for anyone but you to know if you have a safe in your house.

You can always opt out of jointing the union however you still have to pay dues. I do not agree with this. In my opinion, if you are working a full time job that has a union affiliation, I would suggest joining, especially if your a LEO or FF. In the event you get jammed up on the job, the union can help you with representation that could bankrupt you otherwise. Sometimes people make honest mistakes on the job and if your not on the "golden child list" or someone knows you getting fired could mean a job for their cousin, sister, brother, etc., union protection may be all that saves your a$$. Some states have laws on the books which say you can't force someone to join a union or pay dues if they do not join. I am not versed in all aspects of NJ labor law so I can't tell you what we have on the books. I will say being there is a HUGE union presence in NJ, we will probably never see any laws that remove power from the unions like that. I believe in free choice but I also believe that most unions are decent and represent their members as they should.

Don't hate the union worker. Remember, collective bargaining which is the process where the two side agree to a contract involves the employer and union. Weather it be a federal, city, state, or private business, BOTH sides have to agree to the contract. Dues and pension contributions are what give the union ability to grant loans, give scholarships, etc. I have worked on both sides of the fence. There are pros and cons on both sides.

My comparison of Sons of Guns VS American Guns: American Guns: Give us $10K-$15K and we will throw a block of steel in a CNC to make you a new custom gun that we can engrave. Sons of Guns: Give us $10K-$15K and we will rebuild your existing gun with aftermarket parts. Just my opinion.

I have experience in the tv/film industries. Does not matter if it's a NY or CA production company. Once the local TV union gets word of their work in NJ, they will be approached about using union labor and if they don't, probably will get picketed if it's a large enough production. Personally, I see putting your gun collection, house, neighborhood on TV as a huge FAIL security wise. Last thing I want is the whole country to know where I keep my guns and how I am equipped to deal with a disaster.

Video #2, once he said "real safety doesn't exist" about 45 seconds into it, I had to shut it off. Guys like this are what gives the anti's fuel and make SAFE gun owners look bad.

Bump... To keep this towards the top of the list... As of 3/1/12, we are at 7969. Here is the link again. http://www.change.or...-right-to-carry

Was going to go but got wrapped in in family business. Hope it's a good presentation.

I have a Taurus PT1911 9mm. Shoots very nice. My only complaint was when the gun was brand new. Taurus had a ton of grease under the slide when I took it apart once I got it home. Took a boat load of cleaning to get her all pretty for the range. It likes 124g ammo best. I will try to put up a picture for you.

I'm going to throw SJSC out there again in this thread. 4 ranges, a tactical range (limited to training classes and competition), archery range. You can bring two guests for $10 each. As long as the gun is NJ legal, you can shoot it there. Open 7 days a week from dawn till dusk. Only down side is shotgun. You can pattern on the 50 yard range, but no trap shooting. There is Pine Vally gun club in Pine Hill which is a trap/skeet club if your looking for a place to shoot shotgun.

If it ain't broke, don't fix it! Outside of grips and optics, I see no point in spending cash on anything other than ammo.
