I have not seen much from the NRA either but than again I'm not looking. I will say that it would not be a surprise to me if the NRA takes a back seat till all the BS around the situation is over. Then they can say that unlike the anti gun politicians, the stance is not to fight a battle over 2A while people are suffering.

Not at all! I think they only got one visitor like every 3 months too. Imagine the gang bangers here in the US if they had to serve time like that. Even a 6 month sentence would potentially drive someone mad!

There was a show about Russian prisons on a while back and I think that's where they were. Is that the place where like 3 guards and a nasty dog follow each prisoner when they get their 1 hour a day out of the cell?

Bob that was a great email you sent! I was chomping at the bit all day after I had to stop listening. Was wondering how the rest of the story played out. I can paint a fairly decent picture based on the posts here.

Ok so the lead in to the topic came across as anti but the first few calls and conversation sounded pro. Unfortunately I'm out of the car now and can't keep listening.

Get online or tune in! They are going to discuss 2A and it's leaning anti gun!

I'm sure this will be discussed at the NJ2AS meeting in Winslow this Wednesday. Come on out!

+1000 Born and raised here! Now for the funny question. What town do you and your friends consider the start of North Jersey? I'm fairly well traveled (out of state and out of country) so I refer to Newark. My friends who hardly venture more than 40 miles from home without packing a lunch consider anything north of 7A on the turnpike "north Jersey".

Read the manual for your firearms and you will find recommendations on what to replace and when. Theres also info on various forums and web sites that give recommendations. For me, I log the round count so I have a reference, not much more. The types of ammo may have an effect on the numbers. I shoot often which is why I keep track. I can see if you only shoot 100 rounds a couple times a year that it may not matter keeping track.

I forgot to mention earlier: www.gunfacts.info Tons of facts with sources and free to download.

Very easy test. Got 100 on the written and shot a bullseye in the field test with the muzzle loader. Now I can spend a few more days searching for Mr. Buck in the woods!

There was a comment at last nights NJ2AS meeting that one legally owned gun was used in a murder and turned out it was a suicide! The discussion was how the gun laws do nothing to prevent crime.

I'm taking the test in the morning for modern rifle/muzzle loader. Watched the DVD, finished the work book, took the online practice test (got two wrong out of 45 questions). Anything strange to expect at the field test?

Check out some of the big legal cases like Heller. You can find some pro gun info at www.nj2as.com. There is also a self defense and concealed carry forum. I found it searching within the Tapatalk app on my iPhone. This site has some info as well https://www.usconcealedcarry.com/ Good luck! Can we see a copy of your paper when it's finished?

I keep one for everything. A simple spread sheet with the makes and models and purchase date of my guns across the top, and down the side I enter the date I shoot and go over to put the number of rounds for the specific gun I shot. Nothing fancy. It's mainly for my self gratification.

There was an epic saga of a thread on the whole transport to PA issue that's still running here on the forum. It is not illegal to transport you guns out of state for a lawful purpose. You have a PA CCW therefore it's legal to carry in PA. That's reason enough. If your stopped by a NJ police officer and he asks where your going with your legally unloaded/cased firearm, you tell him your going to XYZ gun shop in PA. CCW or not, it's not illegal to transport to a dealer. Add in what Pizza Bob said about the shop having a range and you now have 3 legal reasons to transport from NJ to another state.

Please contact Frank at NJ2AS. This is an additional requirement not set forth in the purchase regulations. They will talk to you then contact your PD. Additional forms and finger prints were discussed at last nights meeting in Toms River. Go to www.nj2as.com and check out Operation Establish Compliance.

I thank you all for the information. Lots of good stuff here. Looks like I'm leaning heavy towards the 204 Ruger H&R. Being a left handed shooter, it's a win in my book! I'm new to reloading so after some initial factory ammo purchases will start turning out rounds on my own.

Never have consideration to the single shot H&R before, but after seeing their price I see 204 Ruger in my not so distant future!

Does anyone here have a bolt action .223? Thinking of adding one to the collection. Got an open invitation to plink ground hogs for a farmer. Would love to pick up a 204 Ruger to do the job, but not looking to spend a lot of $$$ at the moment. Game laws specify using any rifle round under 100 grains is ok for hunting woodchuck, which is the reason behind my thinking.

If you could make it to SJSC I could help you out. I've got a GP100, 4" barrel 38 special only. Good gun, One of my favorite to shoot.

Since the majority of thugs out there do not pay attention to the news, there no doubt would be a few shooting incidents before crime started to drop. Unfortunately someone will have to catch some lead before word spread through the thug cliques to watch out cause even grand ma may be carrying.

If I'm not mistaken, NJ does not give any special consideration to C&R. I believe you still have to deal with an FFL. Search the forum, Im sure it's been discussed.

You know the NJ version of this study has a special last line: This study does not include NJ. The second amendment does not apply in NJ.

If you doing a face to face sale I would assume (dangerous word) you mail it with the copies of the permits to the local pd and NJSP. If your at an FFL, they take care of it all.
