1919a4 semi auto .308 rifle legal or not?
Can the round be removed from the link without breaking it? If so, it would be no different than putting a snap cap in the middle of a 30 round magazine. Even if not, you would be drawing undue attention to.yourself. IMO anyway.

USPSA Central Jersey Rifle & Pistol Club - 4/8/12
I may show up and watch, no centerfire handgun yet though, so no shooting for me.

New M&P 40 Pro Series, pictures , thread not useless:)
The hinged trigger is to help prevent NDs by the trigger becoming snagged on something. If you don't press the lower part of the trigger, the upper part (which is the part actually connected to the sear) cannot move.

Two of three gun convictions in controversial N.J. handgun case overturned
After looking it over more closely, there is not any way to transport hollowpoints from one piece of land you own or possess to another. The only legal way to transport hollowpoints during a move seems to be to drive directly from your house to a range, shoot a little, then go directly to the new house... Wow, this is more screwed up than I realized.

Brian Aitken Conviction Overturned
Very true, I once jammed 32 into an M-16 magazine because I wasn't paying attention. It took me 10 minutes and a leatherman to get the damn thing out...

Smith and Wesson M&P 9mm
Will factory 9mm barrels fit the M&P .40? And if so why can't you use the .40 barrel in the 9mm? It seems it would be far more efficient to make one frame on one assembly line and just add the appropriate barrel and extractor as opposed to making 3 different frames, at least one of which will accept the other barrels anyway.

what kind of permit do you need to carry a weapon besides a gun?
And enjoy the lawsuit you WILL see by the bad guy and/or his/her family. Oh, and possibly a federal charge since it's illegal to use any aerosol in a manner other than which it was intended.

Two of three gun convictions in controversial N.J. handgun case overturned
His sentence was commuted by the Governor on Dec 20, 2010, and 2 of the 3 serious crimes were overturned on appeal. He his, however, still a convicted felon and unable to possess handguns, since hollowpoints are a 4th degree crime. Also, hollowpoints are illegal to possess in circumstances other than doing something else illegal. Anywhere you can legally possess a handgun you can legally possess a hollowpoint.

Brian Aitken Conviction Overturned
No, they never proved in court that the mags met the NJ definition of a high cap. It must hold more than 15 AND feed into a semi auto. In court they loaded 16 rounds, but they never put the magazine in a fun and proved it would cycle.

Website pages will not load with Internet Explorer
Tools-> internet options-> advanced. Make sure all required scripts are allowed or just reset to default and see if that fixes it. Ideally though, FireFox or chrome is a better, more secure, option. I only use IE at work and on sites that require it.

If that is the Beretta kit (it looks like it is), $370 from Beretta. http://www.berettausa.com/products/92-series-22-lr-practice-kit/j9022pk/ If you want one sign up for the alerts... They were out of stock when I first looked at one in December. I got an email sometime in February that they were in stock, out of stock now.

Why Are You in Favor of CCW in NJ?
There are a few reasons I support CCW. Firstly, the right to self defense is a fundamental human right. While I am no 90 year old man, I have no delusions about my ability to successfully defend myself from someone who wishes to do me harm, particularly if they are armed with a knife or a gun, using only my fists and feet. Weapons, and particularly firearms, are simply the most recent progression of what humans have been doing for the past 40,000 years - make tools to give us an advantage. Second, I feel that I have an obligation to protect myself and my friends and family from those who wish to do us harm. A concealed firearm is the most practical tool for this purpose. Third, while there will invariably be people who misuse and abuse their right to carry a weapon, the net result of an armed populace will be positive. Our society is one built upon law and order. Those who do not wish to fit into our society and intentionally cause harm to others have no place in our society. Society need not fear the common thug, the common thug should fear society.

They also say their customers are dead, foreclose on houses that are current/paid off, and repossess cars that never had a loan on them.

M&P 40 question UPDATED
All of the centerfire M&P are classified (by S&W) as striker-fired DAO. They say this because racking the slide only takes the striker to about the 98% cocked position. The final 2% is done by the trigger pull before the striker is released. If the slide is open and you insert a loaded magazine, EITHER pressing the slide stop or pulling the slide to the rear and releasing it will strip the top round from the magazine and chamber it. The slide stop is spring-loaded and is naturally in the down position, where the slide is free to cycle. When the magazine is empty, the follower presses the slide stop upwards and it catches on the slide when the slide is moved to the rear. At any time, pressing the slide release will cause the slide to move forward, though it will be slightly stiffer if the empty magazine is still in the gun. If the empty magazine is removed (regardless of whether or not a new magazine is inserted), pulling the slide to the rear will cause the slide stop to drop to the lowered position and then releasing the slide will cause it to move fully forward.

Dawson sights for the M&P .22?
You won't regret it, I know I certainly don't. The sights on the M&P 22 are adjustable, so if all you want to do it match the POA/POI you can just adjust them. Though the rear sight is just black whereas the centerfire M&P have three dot. Also, IIRC, the dovetails (front and rear) are the same as on the centerfire M&P.

"No Firearms" clause in apartment lease
It's not that simple though. With segregation nobody signed a contract saying they wouldn't frequent certain businesses or areas. It is perfectly legal for your employer to prohibit you carrying weapons on their property, since you signed a contract agreeing to this as a condition of your employment. It is also perfectly legal for a property owner to restrict certain behaviors on their property, to include First (and Second) Amendment rights. However, to be legal, any such restriction may not be based on protected classes (race, gender, age, etc). To complicate it further, the home is treated differently by the law and tradition than simply another person's property. Even so, one can waive a large portion of their First Amendment rights (Why I will NEVER live in a neighborhood that has a HOA). Now, when state law requires that firearms be kept in the home, such a clause may not be enforced by the courts, as the only other option is to deny the person his 2A rights completely.

I'm surprised.
No, I don't think there was any real post about it. I was annoyed when Dillon missed everything though, since it made it more likely that fool Greg wasn't going to elimination.

"No Firearms" clause in apartment lease
If its a normal apartment (i.e. not renting some old ladies extra bedroom) you aren't in anyone else's dwelling. The apartment is your home, ans while it may be in a common building, the landlord has no right to regulate what behaviors one partakes in in the individual apartments. Provided, of course, that the behaviors are not illegal.

"No Firearms" clause in apartment lease
The problem is that what is moral and what is immoral is inherently subjective, and that following "the rules" (be it contract or law) is not necessarily the moral action. I would argue that there is a valid point that, in this instance, the "moral" thing to do is to NOT follow the contract, as the contract seeks to abridge a person of his or her rights.

Exercises
Unless you have a really heavy trigger or are abnormally weak I would think you should be fine. I would day that I am.probably of average strength and I have no problem with shots not going roughly where o aim them. DA pulls are harder to control than SA, but not impossible.

Private Handgun Sale
Sorry, I don't see the gray area in the NJ statute at all. You MUST have a PPP to buy a handgun, you MUST be 21 to get a PPP. Even if somehow you legally came into possession of a handgun under the age of 21 (I think inheritance may be the only legal way), you can't buy ammo for it at all in NJ.
