Had no idea there was a gun shop in Merchantville. Thank you for bringing this business to my attention Ms. Disalvo, I may have to see if they have anything I am interested in when my FID comes in.

I REALLY REALLY REALLY hate when people outright lie, especially when they are in positions of power and should know better. At about 1:00 this idiot says that other states may "allow people who have had domestic abuse or have been convicted of misdemeanor assault" to carry firearms. At best he is intentionally trying to imply that some states allow people who have been convicted of domestic abuse to carry, let alone own, weapons. At worst, he misspoke and meant to say convicted of domestic abuse. Either way, last I checked 18 USC sec. 922(d)(9) makes it illegal for anyone convicted of domestic abuse to possess a firearm under any circumstance, let alone carry one.

If guns are really the cause of all evil like the VPC and Brady bunch want you to believe, why is crime increasing as they claim gun ownership is decreasing?

Welcome from Cherry Hill.

The $60.25 is payed to MorphoTrak, who is the company that actually does your fingerprinting. This is normal and actually required by the NJSP as towns can no longer do the fingerprinting in house. The $18 is payed to the NJSP for a background check, and is also normal. The $5 for the FID and $2 per P2P are also normal.

That second video really scares me... Finger in the trigger guard when he is using only one hand to hold up the shotgun, takes him all day to draw his handgun, and the range was NOT clear. 5 shots out of what appeared to be a 1911 and the slide didn't lock back. Please tell me these people haven't really been training police.

That's not entirely accurate. CC companies get a percent of the total sale, plus a swipe fee every single time the card is swiped, so even those who never carry a balance, like myself, still give the CC companies money albeit indirectly. The swipe fees range between 5 and 25 cents, and the company gets between .5% and 4.5% of the charge, depending on the card and company. AMEX is the highest by far, which is why many places won't accept AMEX. For a number of reasons I only use cash in limited situations, though I do always carry a small amount with me. 1) Credit cards make tracking expenses infinitely easier, since every month I get a statement that tells me how much I spent where. If I used cash I would have to save receipts and input the data manually. 2) If my CC ever gets stolen, I can call the bank, cancel it, have a new one in 2-3 days, and be out the $20 I keep in my wallet. If I used only cash and it got stolen, I'm out anywhere from 20-150, depending on the day and what I was doing. 3) Paying by card is simpler and faster in most circumstances, and all but eliminates the possibility of being short changed. There are some situations where I prefer to use cash though, primarily when I am dealing with small, local businesses. My statement comes on the 14th, on the 15th I schedule a payment for the full balance due to be paid 5 days before the payment is due. That way I can't forget about it and I get to get the small amount of interest instead of the bank.

Do people that think gun stores are the only way to buy a firearm really believe what they are saying? I'm pretty sure anyone with the will to harm another person would be able to a) Come into possession of a firearm in some way, regardless of any laws and b) Find another way to kill them...

How the hell would they construe loaded mags, not in the gun, to be a loaded gun? No mag, chamber empty, pull trigger, it won't go bang. If it doesn't go bang, it's not loaded.

Each PD, MAY NOT add their own requirements, but they do anyway...

I think that is a New Jersian's standard view of someone who wants to own firearms.

According to a NJ Superior Court Judge that is not good enough reason for a CCW (Muller v. Maenza et. al.). The only reason Muller has his CCW is so NJ could take one of the prime plaintiffs out of the case.

Ah, I appear to be having issues with sarcasm today. While I am not going to debate the effectiveness fo optics on handguns, they sure do turn beautiful weapons into fugly lumps of steel. Then again, weapons are tools...

More people would be able to go if it wasn't held when most people are working and/or they had more than a weekend's notice...

For the most part, any modern gun with internal safties won't "accidentally discharge." Negligently discharge on the other hand....

Sorry if I didn't make it clear, but I'm not "hating" on any specific individual, either on these forums or otherwise. What I have a problem with is that some group (likely Police unions) spent a good deal of time and money convincing Congress that retired LEO should have certain rights that the rest of us do not get to enjoy. I think that CJ is also percieved as an "easy" major, for those in college. I went and got my associates in CJ before I decided there was no way I was going through 2 more years of early high school level work and dealing with 75% of the class being there because Mommy and Daddy said they had to go to college before I decided to go back to engineering. The professors were great, most were active or retired LEOs, and those that weren't were lawyers, but the students just didn't care and many of them had no business taking up a seat. I kid you not, I remember one class sitting next to a group of kids in the program's final course talking about what drugs they were going to buy for the weekend - and all this was happening not 10 feet from the Camden County Police Academy with about 10 officers in the building. That said, 3 more years, I'll have my BS CompE and be carpet bombing my resume and taking the test for every PD I can find hiring north of Virginia and east of Ohio.

Not to derail, but go watch hikcok45's video of the Judge on Youtube. I think 4 00 or 000 buck, or even #4 out of that thing would do more than just piss you off.

No, I would still carry because I have a obligation to protect my myself and my family. I would not, however, use my former career as evidence of my right or justification to carry. CCW for any person isn't a "perk" of anything. CCW is because, as citizens, we all have the right to defend ourselves against those that wish to do us harm. Using that logic, we should all have to make enemies or be victims of some crime before we should be allowed to get a CCW.

Regardless of how long one has been a LEO, once you retire, you are just another citizen,.no more, no less. You no longer have a duty to do anything, and your "moral" obligations are irrelevant. If you want to claim the right to ccw under 2a and 14a, you must grant the same right to every other citizen, and accepting anything less cannot be tolerated.

So would the sound of making just about any firearm ready, it is a rather distinct sound, let alone actually firing it.

I would assume that any firearm used in a homicide, justified or otherwise, would be seized until the investigation is complete. Also, the investigation doesn't just include the officers at the scene taking notes, that is called the preliminary investigation for a reason. Furthermore, it's not the officer at your house that decides if it was a good shoot or not. Ultimately that is the responsibility of a jury, since justification for use of force is an affirmative defense, though a judge and/or prosecutor can dismiss the case or fail to bring charges if they so choose. That said, I wouldn't hesitate to use a "good" gun for home defense. It's a tool, you want one that works, not a $350 High Point that I saw sieze open on its 3rd round ever at the range last week... At the same time though I wouldn't be using my great grandfathers 1911 that was carried in WWI either. Maybe one of our resident LEOs could wiegh in on what their department would do.

Welcome from Cherry Hill.

Sorry, I misread your post and thought it was already threaded. If it was already threaded I don't know if welding a bolt-on without also rendering the threads unusable somehow would satisfy the evil feature test. I know that I certainly wouldn't risk having visible threads at the end of saiga in NJ.

You get to have the threads welded over so you can satisfy that "goofy NJ reg" and spend the rest of your life a free man. OR, you can ignore that "goofy NJ reg" and risk a 7 year vacation in Rahway. Take your pick. I wouldn't risk leaving the threads intact without something permanently attached directly to the threads. A bolted on brake will certainly not pass the evil feature test. A bolted then welded on break may or may not, since the barrel is still threaded and depending on the size of the opening in the brake you may still be able to use said threads. Worst case scenario you weld a brake and make it NJ legal, then move to a free state in a year and want to be able to use a flash suppressor/silencer. Sell the whole thing, or even just get a new threaded barrel, and there you go. You get to have a threaded barrel AND avoid getting real close with Bubba.

I do know it had a malfunction every other round when I tried it out . Though I am pretty certain I was doing something wrong.
