Meh, if you're on a public street you have neither the right nor the expectation of privacy. You aren't using CCTV to arrest people who haven't committed a crime (yet), are you?

Pretty much yes. That is one of the reasons I chose a knife that had a glass breaker and a restraint cutter. I doubt they would work very well, but there's no way the cop would know that. Gives me as many reasons to have a knife as is possible pretty much. As an aside, how the hell did I survive the last 20 years WITHOUT carrying a knife? I use the damn thing 10-15 times a day...

I wouldn't count on any specific electronic device working after exposure to an EM pulse. Certainly the simpler the device is the less likely that it will sustain damage, but I would expect that pretty much any IC would be likely to fail if it was exposed to a sufficient EM pulse. The device being off (and I mean really off, all possible switches in the open position) would certainly help, but only if the pulse is not sufficiently strong to induce arcing between the points of any switch or other gap between conductors. Also, the amount of induction depends upon the shape of the circuit and the angle at which the pulse intersects the circuit. Even if all physical switches are in the open position, this is irrelevant in a semiconductor based IC as the voltage induced by the pulse needs only to overcome the resistance of the substrate, and the more modern the IC, the more susceptible they would be to arcing because the space between the conductors is smaller.

Assisted knives are not specifically mentioned anywhere in NJSA, however here are the relevant bits. Assisted knives obviously aren't gravity knives since they will not deploy by centripetal force alone, nor are they ballistic knives. By definition, most assisted knives are not switchblades because they are deployed by a thumb stud or other protrusion on the blade of the knife, not the handle. However, certain assisted knives may be in a grey area (Smith & Wesson M&P comes to mind) because they are deployed by a button or switch on the handle that pushes the blade out of the handle. Under federal law these are not switchblades because they do not deploy solely by force of spring, under NJ law it is vague. Since knives that are obviously deployed by a protrusion on the blade itself are not switchblades, they are not subject to 2C:39-3e. However, they are subject to 2C:39-5d, and as such you much be able to present a reason for possession on demand.

Long guns are not registered, unless you voluntarily registered it. Handguns bought in NJ are quasi-registered, but AFAIK, there is not way to "un-register" a handgun that you bought in NJ.

1911 was designed with a raised mainspring? Really, news to me... Also, 1911s suck because their owners are DBs, I guess Glocks suck too then. I would like to know how the hell you hold a 1911 and don't engage the grip safety. I haven't held one that often, but unless you ignore the top half of the grip you cant NOT depress it.

Does USANA have a website or anywhere where you can get more information on them? It's not too far away, but I can't find any info.

I doubt we will actually see CCW in NJ, ever. The only way that it will be is if HR822 passes and NJ remains a may issue state. If it passes though, we will probably go no issue...

I'm not familiar with the SAI M1A, but IIRC normal M1As come with a flash suppressor (and a threaded barrel). If you wanted to add a pistol grip stock you would have to remove the flash suppressor and then pin and weld a muzzle break.

Must be a north jersey thing. I haven't heard one of their commercials in a few years...

24 of 30, I think I clicked the wrong buttons as I know there are only 13 stripes and no limits on number of terms for senators... Didn't know which amendment lowered voting age to 18, how many presidents were assassinated, that Ike was born in Texas, and I misread the last question.

No, you only get to have 1 evil. 2 or more makes it illegal.

Sleeping medication, not anti-anxiety or anti-depressants... Article does not mention him being suicidal, just depressed. You obviously don't know what PTSD is... As for the search? Can't claim SITA, as they weren't searching his person. Emergency? Maybe, but he wasn't in the house, even if they were to be allowed to enter to determine if anyone in the house needed assistance, they can't search property under that exception. Even if the entry was legal (looking for people in need of aid), they could only seize items in plain view. Locked cases are not plain view, nor are handguns underneath towels, or any items in drawers... The officers (or at least the one in charge) are screwed here, and rightfully so. Jon Doe I (Lt. Glover) should be fired and charged with any criminal charges possible, and the PD should be held accountable. EDIT - I guess 4th amendment violation doesn't fall on your butthurt form? There was ZERO reason to conduct a warrantless search of his home, and even less of a reason to search and seize any items in locked cases or otherwise not in plain view.

I don't vote in primaries because I won't declare a party affiliation, but I have voted in every election since I turned 18 and will continue to do so.

I can tell you the p22 I rent will run ok on golden bullets, though on the last round it doesn't always strip the round from the mag. I don't know if this is bad ammo, bad mag, dirty gun, or all 3 though. I am trying to decide between the Sr22 and m&p 22 for my first 22 though.

It's not the same crime. Same act yes, but same crime no.

As mcbethr said, Firing Line in Philly is nice, so long as you're looking for a place to shoot, not luxury. It's lit well enough you can see your sights and your target, but that's about it. Their rates for membership, lanes, and rentals are reasonable (100/yr membership, members shoot free, $10 for guest, non members $15; $10 rental for members, $15 for non member). Ammo is high though, $3.50 for a box of .22, $19.85 for a box of 9mm. Eyes, ears, and targets are free. The range is dirty, many of the people there are animals and don't police their brass. It can get cold on the range, so wear and coat and bring a hat. Oh, and the floor and ceiling of the booths, as well as the range itself, are covered in holes... I'll keep shooting .22 there, but once I buy a 9mm I'll need to look for a new range. When you can buy 9mm for $10 a box, I'm not paying $20 a box for it. I'm there pretty much every Tuesday night at around 7:30-8 if you want to tag along.

I wouldn't wish that on anyone...

Wow, denied for a disorderly persons and then again after an expungement? They really need to get rid of the "not in the best interests of society" part, way way too vague. Especially considering that per NJ statute, PDP and DP are not "crimes" at all...

If you don't mind, did they have any specific reasons that it wasn't in the best interests of society? Or did they just not want to let you buy a handgun?

He isn't going to get anywhere near me and I am not going to approach him. Cops would already be on the way and I would be ready to fire at him should it not be an act. Whether he is armed or not and regardless of what is coming out of his mouth, if he starts coming towards me with a gun drawn on him, he is most certainly threatening me. Also, the second part of the definition of "reasonable belief" takes this into account. Per the law, if you order him to surrender (lay down and not move) and he begins moving towards you, he has refused to surrender and use of force is justified.

California? How about our own tunnel to nowhere?

I do know that the last time my parents switched gas and electric away from PSE&G, they ended up paying about 5% more than they would have had they stayed with PSE&G... Aside from that though, I don't know much.

Check your DNS severs. Windows 7/Vista: Control Panel\Network and Sharing Center\Manage Network Connections Right click on your adapter-> Properties -> Accept UAC if presented. Look for TCP/IPv4, select it and click properties. For most people, both "Obtain IP Address Automatically" and "Obtain DNS server address automatically" should be selected. If your network requires manual selections chances are you wouldn't be asking. Win XP: (Going from memory here) Control Panel\Network Connections Right click on adapter, Properties. Look for TCP/IPv4, select it and click properties. For most people, both "Obtain IP Address Automatically" and "Obtain DNS server address automatically" should be selected. If your network requires manual selections chances are you wouldn't be asking. For VERY old XP systems (2001-2004 or so), it may be listed as TCP/IP and not TCP/IPv4 as IPv6 wasn't introduced yet. DNS servers are what actually translate "njgunforums.com" into "72.44.91.115," and some viruses/spyware will set your DNS server to one that they control in order to redirect you to phishing pages or ad pages. This will only cure the problem though, make sure the computer is free of viruses/malware or the issue will return. Most antivirus/antimalware programs will not correct the issue when they remove the culprit though. EDIT - as an aside, some ISPs also will have DNS servers that redirect 404s and other errors to ad pages. Most of the time this is just annoying but they can occasionally provide problems, especially if you have a VPN. All providers should provide standard DNS servers that result in a 404 if you input an incorrect url, for Verizon FIOS these are 71.250.0.14 68.237.161.14 These DNS servers should also work fine for any other ISP. DNS servers can be changed at the computer level or the router/modem level. However if the computer is set to use a specific DNS it will ignore any other DNS. If the computers are set to automatic, they will obtain the DNS from the router/modem.

No, the back edge isn't sharpened at all. There's a slight narrowing where the fake serrations are but I think it would have a hard time cutting hard butter with the back side of the knife. I wish it didn't have the fake serrations at all, but it's the only knife with what I wanted (partial serration, glass break, cutter on handle) that I could find that didn't have a bunch of crap on the handle or the blade. http://www.hanzoswords.com/TAC-FORCE-SPEEDSTER-SPRING-ASSISTED-POCKET-KNIFE-RESCUE-TOOL-_p_990.html
