Ohhh... well , I won't be using that feature .

You'll get plenty of opinions , and this is just my own. There are specifics about transporting your long guns in NJ , obviously not as restricted as handguns , you just have to make sure it is unloaded and being transported according to the specifications ( it covered in the NJ gun law sticky) . But I do not recall seeing anything about USING a long gun wherever you want. You are allowed to use deadly force in your home or in your owned place of business. Says nothing anywhere about using deadly force with your gun ( regardless of type)when you are visiting in a person's home. So basically , you are not covered legally by any exceptions..which..again in my opinion ..you will have a very aggressive legal tiger by the tail if you discharge your long gun in a friend's residence even if in self defense. Personally...PAAASSS . Were it me I would go stay over to give her the company and peace of mind without bringing any "heat" . Going forward though I would give this friend the advice that she should at the very least take self defense classes..maybe apply for her own firearms and take lessons on how to use them to defend herself in her home.

tracking code from the package ? Mailed mine around 3/25 as well.

Isn't the truth though??

Sounds good. I'll try to get a sitter here for around 4 or 5 ? If we only bring long guns , we could meet Pete for a beer at the Coppermine or something ?

I am under the impression the FFL is the only one who needs to see your FID P2P ( if it is a handgun) , and DL . I've purchased 3 guns out of state at this point and nobody asked for anything in addition to payment. The FFL did all the rest.

Thanks Frank It arrives tomorrow at the FFL , doubt I'll get a range trip in before hand to try it out. Where is the best place local to Bergen Co to get shotgun ammo without way over paying? Don't have time to order it. I'll see about getting dummy rounds at the same time

Nice Frank! Are you doing Urban Shotgun on Saturday?

The gun I ordered gets here Wednesday , I HOPE to get to try it before I take Urban Shotgun Saturday ..but it looks like I will be letting the first round fly out of it at the training . Are you around Friday ? On weekends when I don't have a GFH class , one of us is at the BH for the opening bell Saturday and Sunday

I got called once , only once . It was the beginning of this year..I had a baby that had been in and out of the hospital starting with the NICU..he was home with me on a cardiac and respiration monitor because he was having cyanotic episodes . I wrote all that in the section where you are suppose to write in a reason why you can't serve..I got a note back that I had to get a letter from a physician , send it back , and again await approval for dismissal . I should have just told them I did not speak English .

That is scary..and she is very brave ..but I am really glad she did not have to face off 3 males ( one with a rifle of his own) with a single shot and only 2 bullets to boot. I hope they got her a better HD rifle since she exhibited the presence of mind to try and defend herself instead of just cowering. Brave little kid , and a lucky brave little kid.

Did not realize the link was 2010..strange , it popped up in my Yahoo feed in a sidebar that said "related stories" . Sorry

That would be great Mark , thanks What is your schedule like?

If he was in reach , either immediate distance or something I could close easily I would stop the kid . If he had it in his weapon in his hand in the ready , I would have to weigh it out. There are people way better trained than I am in dealing with a shooter with a gun in the ready. I could cause more of a setback than help . In a nutshell , always have multiple scenarios and WWYD played out in your head , without being overly paranoid that is, If they do charge him with this , and it is dropped , does the arrest record stick with him?

I remember I use to judge people that were paranoid about their kids . Then I had my own. Some parents show the paranoia , others bury it ..I bury it somewhat. But we all have that dark fear that God forbid we might outlive one of our kids. I was never afraid of anything and scoffed at people who were cautious and fretted before I had kids. Fast forward to last week when my 3 year old boy face planted into a stagnant warm pond and took a bunch of water up his nose and down the hatch. I am big enough to admit I googled "killer amoebas" in NY and was glad to find no cases lol That parent and crossing guard that reported this is no way in the wrong. But the media as usual is off the wall and the charges hit on this kid are incredibly unfair to him and could bite him in the a$$ in the future , and he does not deserve that. He deserves to be grounded from using his birthday gift for a long time , maybe a grounding and detention..but that is about it.

I have a model 60 3 inch that shoots .357s. Blows the bandaids right off my hand but I love it

I would call police if I thought I saw a kid with a gun going into school. So that part is fine IMO. And if it was my kid and I got him a gift like that , and he took it to school without my permission ( I would not have given permission) ..then he would lose his birthday present for sneaking it to school without checking with me and for making an irresponsible decision with his paint ball gun. And I would expect the school to give him detention. But you know , I have to say , that is about all I think is deserved as punishment and I think the charges are extreme ridiculous overreaction. Even if that weapons charge doesn't stick they have put him in a situation where he has a felony charge against him ..for a paint ball thing. And someone here educated me on this ...QelHoth I believe..that even if he gets the record sealed or expunged ..he will always have an arrest record on file that will be visible for in depth background checks for things like employment requiring security clearance and firearms permits when he is old enough. the charge is VERY wrong , they screwed him over for making a dumb mistake with something that is NOT a firearm.

Pete is looking at this shotgun ( he does not have much time to post from work ) . He saw a good deal on a used one at a gunshow ..he can still get it from the dealer. Does anyone have any experience of feedback on it? He wants it for HD and for doing Urban Shotgun training . Thanks

When a kid does something heroic like this it is usually widely covered national news , I hope he gets the attention for his bravery that he deserves and that it is not kept quiet just because it involved a minor defending themselves and their family with a gun. I hope we learn more about his story...I wonder if it was his own .22 . That would make it even better IMO. Kids touching guns is such a fear button..because when kids do not know how to use them or when they are kept from them rather than educated , accidents happen. Then the focus falls on the evil of the firearm when the real problem was not the firearm but the lack of education. Obviously you keep them locked away from younger children , but this is a shining example of how keeping guns in the house and familiarizing your children in the safe operation of them as soon as they are old enough is not taboo , and has positive outcomes.

If they come out with slims for the J frame I'm in. I just put the VZ Operator G10s on my 1911 ( good advice as usual , from Pizza Bob) ..I love them.

How brave of him to have the presence of mind and cool head to fight back even after he was hit . Glad to hear his injury was minor . The thug is in deserved critical condition. I say deserved because I shudder to think of what their plans were for that women and her children .

Boy saves mom and siblings from obviously violent home invaders. Glad he was taught well. https://www.hdaa.com/hdaa/11-year-old-shoots-home-invader-in-the-neck/?id=Facebook&sid=11MayFacebookAll

They are allowed to ship it back to you Fed Ex , but the gunsmith in PA was reluctant to ship it back to my house. Even in my limited experience , I find stores in free states afraid of NJ. They did not even want to send me a pump shotgun with an adjustable stock and pistol grip. Told them it was fine since it was not a semi auto...but they were again pretty reluctant.

Will do..I have been scoping out old guns lately , caught the collection bug. I'll keep that in the back of my mind for you , and grab it if I see any
