Unless something has changed, carrying X amount of money on your person is not a crime, and therefore does not require an explanation...

Does the machine still boot and do you have a flash drive handy? Can you read the Windows Certificate of Authenticity on the bottom of the laptop? It's a 1x3" piece of paper that has a bunch of stuff written on it, but most importantly there is a string of 5 sets of 5 characters. If so, start -> type "system" (without " ") in the search box, and click on "system" under "programs". At the bottom there should be text that says "Activate Windows" click on that and type in your product code. If it doesn't work over web activation, there is an 800 number you can call for activation. If not, boot the machine, copy what data you want onto the flash drive. Use the restore discs it came with (if it didn't come with any discs try hitting f9, f10, f11, del, alt + del, alt + f10 at the manufacturer's splash screen when you first turn it on. If none of those work, when the Windows logo comes up start mashing f8, choose "repair your computer" and see if there is a recovery option other than "System Restore" listed.) As for the hardware, it may be a driver issue, it may not be. Start -> type "device manager" hit enter. Look for the ! in a yellow triangle, right click -> properties. General tab, in the "device status" box. What error code is listed? Vista properly updated is no more unstable than any other MS OS. Vista not properly updated is utter garbage.

Since when is carrying cash on your person a crime? The only time I am aware of that you must disclose that you are carrying large amounts of cash is at customs, and even then it's not illegal to do it, just illegal to not disclose it. "Why do you have 20k in $20s?" "Respectfully, Officer, none of your business." "Where are you going at this hour?" "Respectfully, Officer, none of your business."

Is the barrel threaded?

Indoor range is a no, pits yes, with restrictions. You have to have a special use badge and the velocity can be no more than 1000 ft/s with lead bullets only, according to CJ's site. http://www.cjrpc.com/index.cfm?wpid=14 EDIT - 1000ft/s doesn't make much sense to me. Some handguns will get their shots over 1000ft/s...

"Person" for the purposes of law generally includes corporations and other organizations. GCA is irrelevant here, that is federal law, this is a state issue. A gun buyback meets none of these exceptions (unless the Superintendent authorizes an exemption, but that requires one to provide # of handguns, their serial #s, and the reason for seeking an exemption, does it not?

Thinking about doing the May meeting, though it is the 30th, not the 25th correct? EDIT - Just realized this is a zombie from January... Not sure if I want to miss a class to be at the new member meeting...

3 Constitutional Carry, 38 Shall Issue. You need 51 senators to vote for this. You have 41 states (82 senators) whose states overwhelmingly support CCW. Good luck unless America changes significantly.

Never said it was impossible, just a lot harder. Plus a machete is 36"x4"x1/2". AR is more like 36"x10"x2-3" Little bit bigger means more chance of it printing, plus its A LOT heavier, would need to be supported in some way.

Constructive possession only applies if all the parts needed to make an AW are in your possession. If the only evil feature the upper has is a flash hider, take the pistol grip off the lower, give it to a friend while you nueter the upper, take it back once you have the upper.

I think it has more to do with ease of concealment than stopping power. Hence the minimum lengths (state and federal) for rifles/shotguns, ban on collapsing and folding stocks, etc. I can walk into a store with a handgun in my waistband and you wont know until I pull it out. Much harder to pull off with a rifle or shotgun. (Not that criminals dont have SBS, folding/collapsing stocks anyway...

I would argue (theoretically only for obvious reasons...) that that doesn't apply to a long gun if the person possessing it has an FPID. Rifle is unloaded on a gun rack in your truck, there is no occupant, truck is registered to you, you have a FPID in your possession. Under 2C:39-2 a (2), the rifle is in your possession. 2C:39-5 c (1) doesn't apply because you have a FPID. 2C:39-5 c (2) doesn't apply because it is unloaded. 2C:39-4a doesn't apply because you have no intent to use it unlawfully. Rifle is unloaded on a gun rack in your truck, you are the only occupant, you have FPID in your possession. Under 2C:39-2 a, the rifle is in your possession. 2C:39-5 c (1) doesn't apply because you have a FPID. 2C:39-5 c (2) doesn't apply because it is unloaded. 2C:39-4a doesn't apply because you have no intent to use it unlawfully. Rifle is unloaded on a gun rack in your truck, multiple occupants, all have FPID in their possession. Under 2C:39-2 a, the rifle is in possession of all occupants. 2C:39-5 c (1) doesn't apply because everyone has a FPID. 2C:39-5 c (2) doesn't apply because it is unloaded. 2C:39-4a doesn't apply because you have no intent to use it unlawfully. However, possible 2C:58 issues. As always, IANAL.

True on the agg a, but the possession isn't illegal, which is what I (and I believe he) was referring to.

While I agree that it is not a good idea and will likely not end well, it is legal... IANAL.

You measured the jar on your screen? Is there some known object to compare it to? Otherwise that measurement means jack.

Also take note that simply deleting the cache doesn't remove the files, it just tells windows to forget it saved something at that location...

If you want to go to a show and you live an hour north of Philly, there are usually a couple shows a year in the Allentown area. I think eagle arms is the company that sponsors them, but I could be wrong. Eagle arms is also the sponsor for the show in Oaks every 4 months or so. Don't go there to buy ARs though, last time I was at the show in Oaks I saw maybe half a dozen NJ legal ones as opposed to a few hundred others. Pretty good selection of milsurps, ammo cans, ammo, and other stuff, as well as knives. No idea if prices were great though.

If they find a 'loophole' I guess the search wasn't 100% legal to begin with...

Did they stop teaching journalists that they are supposed to cite sources or something? The article doesn't give one bit of factual evidence for its claims...

On an AR? Negative. on a traditional rifle (M1A style), you could, assuming there is no flash suppressor/threaded barrel or bayonet lug. Oh, and good luck getting one in NJ. They are DDs both under federal and state law. You could get the tax stamp for a DD in America. but NJ has no provision for civilians to obtain DDs that I have yet to find (except antique cannon). Get reading, sounds like you need it.

Didn't cover 2C:39-1 too much in the academy, did they? [url=http://www.state.nj....uide/assltf.htm]NJ AG "Assualt Firearm" Guideline[/url] 2C:39 2C:58 These are your new bible, read them, know them, don't get jammed up on a felony for stupid garbage.

It was not a violation of the Constitution. The Constitution was amended to include all people as "people." Article I "Representatives and direct Taxes shall be apportioned among the several States which may be included within this Union, according to their respective Numbers, which shall be determined by adding to the whole Number of free Persons, including those bound to Service for a Term of Years, and excluding Indians not taxed, three fifths of all other Persons." (Repealed 14th Amend. Sec. 2, 9 June 1868) Clearly establishes that non-free people are not equal to free people. Article IV "No Person held to Service or Labour in one State, under the Laws thereof, escaping into another, shall, in Consequence of any Law or Regulation therein, be discharged from such Service or Labour, But shall be delivered up on Claim of the Party to whom such Service or Labour may be due." (Repealed 13th Amend, 6 Dec 1865) Explicity recognizes that slavery is legal and that fleeing into a jurisdiction where it is not legal does not make one a free person. The Constitution was not "corrected" to "clarify" that all people are equal and that slavery is illegal. It was "corrected" to declare that all people are equal and slavery is illegal.

The evil features are 1) pistol grip 2) flash suppressor/threaded barrel 3) collapsible/folding stock 4) bayonet lug 5) grenade launcher On a semi-auto rifle with detachable magazine, you get to have one (1) evil feature. So on an AR this means you get a pistol grip, unless you get one of those abortions of a rifle that have rifle grips on an AR...

Or their membership. IIRC, the Brady Campaign has something like 40,000 members...

Strictly speaking, slaves were considered property, not persons, and therefore they were not "men" as mentioned int he Declaration of Independence, nor citizens of the United States.
