How to dispose of Ammunition
You don't have pliers? that's all you really need. Pull the bullet, dump the powder in your garden, or save it all up and watch it burn in a flash, and chamber the empty case with primer intact, and fire. When I have a misfire with a .22, I typically re-chamber it. I have yet to find one that wouldn't go off a second time around.

Cleaning guns in detached apartment garage?
There is a difference between a backpack and/ or some long gun cases where you can't really tell what's inside (unless you plaster logos on them), and having a gun out in the open. I'm going to say IANAL, but I'd say legally it's a gray area. If the other people sharing the space were cool with it, it should be fine. Don't want them putting in complaints or calling the cops.

Vice News Documentary on Newark Carjackers
Driving is a privilege, not a right, therefore no "need" exists. If you fear a carjacking, take public transportation. \end sarcasm

SHTF Med Kit for EOTW scenarios?
High Exposure nailed it. That is why my kit is so simple. More or less, beyond it you need advanced medical care.

SHTF Med Kit for EOTW scenarios?
Gauze, medical tape, band-aids, scissors, anti bacterial wash and cream, burn cream, some wraps, and ice packs. Maybe some quick clot. Beyond that, there is little you can do without medical training (that would actually help rather than hurt). I also recommend that you get a book on first aid, and consider taking a class. Especially before you go crazy burning money on stuff. You would be surprised at the wide range of scenarios that the above mentioned stuff can take care of. You can add a tourniquet if you like, but I am not a fan of them, especially if you have no advanced medical care available to you. Be advised that this jives with my level of training and what I am comfortable with. If I were to go through more training, my list may change.

Any good fathers day sales on firearms in NJ ?
Again, I have never needed compliance work done, but I would assume there is at least one out there. Don't know til you ask, right?

Any good fathers day sales on firearms in NJ ?
Not compliant, but if you ship it somewhere that does the work, all that really takes effort or $$ is pinning a brake. I would bring a Dremel to the dealer and take care of the bayo lug and the stock in like 5 minutes while waiting on NICS. I don't have any interest here anyway. I build my AR style rifles myself. I just wanted to see if the OP was actually finding these for ~$900.

How to hold a pistol?
This has been my method for 6 years now. If it doesn't have anything to do with safety, I'm ignoring the RSO . This is why I need a membership somewhere. I was always taught that the your gun should point naturally and there should be almost zero effort to get the sights on target. ... and now I really want a Ruger Mini...

How to hold a pistol?
Yeah, none of that was explained to me, so I'm getting the picture that he had no idea what was going on.

How to hold a pistol?
Thank you! That is more or less how I always hold. It was a little tough snapping the pic though. Just try it with any of your guns, it just feels wrong. I had a feeling he was nuts. He was so insistent that it made me question myself. I just had to know. haha I am always open to advice that can improve my shooting, but this just didn't seem like that kind of advice.

How to hold a pistol?
It was a little hard to get the pic, but I think you can see the difference. I definitely feel it. My way is on the left. His method lines the tang up more with the palm.

How to hold a pistol?
High Exposure, I may need to take pictures, but I basically hold it how that guy in the first video Vlad G posted at about the 52 second mark. In the web of the hand, and in line with the forearm for a natural point. It had absolutely nothing to do with the support hand. He was only critical of my strong hand placement. No cup and saucer for me anyway. The particular gun I was using at the time he "corrected" me was my SIg p226. My right side is my strong side. He wanted me to turn the tang of the gun toward my palm.

How to hold a pistol?
Now I'm no expert, but I do have formal training, and this never came up. I was shooting with a coworker at a unnamed indoor Jersey range, and the RSO was watching us because we were the only ones in there. He comes up to us and tells me that I am holding the gun wrong. I wasn't having any trouble, or grouping bad, or anything negative for that matter. He insisted, however, that I had my strong hand on the pistol in an improper manner. Basically, he was telling me that where the tang of the gun was contacting my hand, it was hitting a nerve and it was going to cause me fatigue. I was at the 300+ round mark, and I hadn't noticed it... in fact, I ALWAYS hold my pistols the way I was holding it, and I NEVER noticed that issue. Anyway, trying not to be rude, I adjusted my hold, and I noticed that not only did it feel unnatural, but I had to consciously focus on turning my hand to keep the sights centered, and my hands would get shaky when pulling the trigger. He insisted it was better. My question is, is there any fact behind what he was saying? Is there some pressure point in your hand that you can hit while shooting that will fatigue your arm? Or is this dude just messing with me?

FID laminating
My gun shop laminated mine, but my police dept. is very cool. IIRC my friend lived in Bayonne and his PD advised his PD told him not to laminate his FID. I think he did it anyway though.

Decided to try long, long range. Blew my 2016 budget in one shot...
Now you need some foreign LAVs to shoot at, paper doesn't do it justice.
