I had this happen to 4 of 200 tonight. I'm not sure if it was the gun or the ammo though since it was a range gun. These were out of the 50 round packs, and I have never really noticed any duds. Occasionally one will fail to fire on the first strike, but the second usually gets it. However, I have heard that the 50 round boxes and the 525 bricks are different rounds, just with the same name.

The range has no RO, the people who work there stay behind the counter in the store unless there is a new shooter or they notice a problem. The first 2 times it happened I had them get the case out, they didn't seem to think there was any problem and said that it happens with that gun sometimes. After the second time they just gave me the squib rod and said if it does it again just remove it myself. I didn't check the lot #, so I'm not sure. Was definitely wearing real safety glasses, anything less is just plain stupid.

Unfortunately I have no choice in the matter. Rental gun, so I have to use the ammo they give me, and this particular range doesn't allow any outside ammo, so even once I have my own gun I will still have to use this stuff when I go there. Though once I have my own I am very likely going to be in the market for a new range. Probably SJSC or CJRPC.

I'm STILL waiting on my FID/P2P, so I rented a S&W model 41 at the range tonight. It felt nice and shot well (as I would expect of a $1000+ gun...), 48/50 were in the black on a B-6 at 25 yards, 49/50 were in at least 9 ring on a B-6 at 10 yards, but I did have a few issues with the gun. I had 8 malfunctions in 200 rounds, 4 were FTE due to the case rupturing, 2 were FTF because the bolt didn't come far enough back to pick up the next round, 1 was a something - spent brass came out of the chamber but got stuck between the top of the ejection port and the top of the next round. The next round canted at an odd angle and took a nice bit of lead out of the bullet when it hit the chamber, which I did not even attempt to shoot. - The last was a failure to fire, the firing pin strike was solid and the round fired after I loaded it into the next magazine, that one was obviously ammo related. For the 4 case ruptures, there is a split along the side of the case at the 6-7 o'clock position if the firing pin strike is at 12. 3 of the ruptures were accompanied by almost no recoil and no attempt to feed the next round. One had above average recoil and resulted in a double-feed when the next round tried to feed. I have a feeling the ammo itself may be crap, since even on rounds that cycled the bolt properly, there was a very large variation in recoil. On 5 or so rounds that cycled properly I checked for a squib before firing the next round because the gun barely even moved. Ammo was all Remington Golden Bullet 40gr LRN in the 50 round boxes. Pictures of the ruptured cases.

Google maps, specifically Street View, is your friend in situations like this. It has a nice picture of his driveway.

Why do people get so upset over a name? Colt 45s, Bullets, Redskins... its just a name FFS...

Could it happen? Yes. Should he and his friend be handling firearms at all, regardless of whether or not they can use a range flag "correctly?" No.

The only problem with the Taurus sho is that its a turbo, and in police usage that turbo is going to be heat soaked for hours on end before it reallt generates any real effect...

Could you post how you did this or directions that you used? I am considering this as well, especially if I decide to purchase an M&P 9 that does not have the thumb safety.

Even if they said "mental disorder, illness, or disease," it does not necessarily mean the same thing as the medical definition of mental disorder, illness, or disease. Since it's not defined in the statute the prosecutor would try to argue that anything that affects one's mental state is a "disorder, illness, or disease," and you/your lawyer would argue that the law should be interpreted to mean the medical definition.

I imagine cops love the guys who wear their pants like that... Kinda hard to run very fast.

Just because something has a chemical-sounding name doesn't necessarily mean its bad for you. Would you eat something if they listed pyridine-3-carboxylic acid on the label? How about 5'-deoxydenosyl? Or are these suddenly ok when they are called Niacin and vitamin B12, respectively?

While giving your address or other current location is obviously a good idea, won't any modern cell phone transmit its GPS coordinates? Or is E911 not commonly implemented yet? Who says someone who is unarmed isn't a threat to your life? Plenty of people have been killed with fists and feet. However whether or not they are a threat to your life is irrelevant. All that is legally required is the reasonable belief that he would inflict personal injury (or you ordering him to disarm/surrender/withdraw and he refuses), for you to be justified in using whatever level of force you believe necessary to protect yourself or others. IANAL.

Homemade ball joint spreader?

Only because Littlejohn couldn't figure out how to get two hooks around a string...

When there are conflicting rulings on the same topic on different circuits, they are much more likely to hear a case. I don't know how the 3rd circuit will rule on our appeal, or if MS will apppeal to the 4th circuit, but the conflicting rulings so far make it more likely.

Close, but you are missing one exemption. Whether or not a storage unit counts as "premises owned or possessed by him" I do not know, but it may qualify.

It looked like he had at least one, maybe two. I definitely saw the muzzle rise once when he wasn't looking at the target, and I heard 3 shots after the ceasefire call.

Walmart in PA is breaking the law. You cannot legally buy handguns or handgun ammunition until you are 21.

Is being able to buy handgun ammo in NJ a good enough reason to volunteer your fingerprints to the government, and pay $65 for the privilege?

Not sure where in lehigh valley you are, but there a shop on 611 in martins creek, thief pizza is really good. Can't think of the name though. Around here, I've found peoples pizza in marlton to be good.

Not to be offensive, but if you spent $1000 on tickets and lawyers in 2011 you need to take a look at your driving. That is most definitely not normal.

You're right, the only changes I can see are 2C:39-1I being relettered to 2C:39-1i, to be in line with the rest of the statutes, and 2C:39-1w(4) being changed from 15 to 10 rounds. 2C:39-1y is not changed. However, in the statement, they claim that this will amend the law to make "large capacity magazines" be defined as 10 rounds. My guess is whoever typed up the page missed the change and the actual bill will change 2C:39-1y as well.

Cite please? Quite a few of them become Christian, or at least they claim to.

Not a restriction, just a property owner exercising his rights, which in this instance trump yours.
