OP, if you join a range in NY, you can apply for a pistol permit to allow you to transport and shoot your pistol at that range. I have no experience and have not heard anything about how readily NY issues pistol permits to out of state residents. But I am pretty sure that NY law provides for out of state people to obtain permits. FOPA does not cover you because your activity is not legal in the destination state. You are not allowed to be in posession of a handgun without a permit.

I wish we would invite the NJSP Firearms Unit and the NJAG to participate in the Legal section. It would be nice to get answers straight from those responsible for enforcement. We would need to behave ourselves and I would have to stop calling State Prosecutors "State Persecutors", but I think the net effect would be positive. I have to add, I never met a NJ cop who was unprofessional. That includes numerous NJSP troopers. I certainly cannot say the same about LEO that I have had run-ins with in VA, TX, and OH.

Bud's has both 10 rounders for $23.

Good point about the risk of surrendering your FPID. OP: If they ask you to explain why you answered negatively to the question about prior convisions, claim ignorance about the 6-month jail term. Tell them that at the time you completed your application you were unaware that the DUI and dp offenses could carry a 6-month jail setense. So, your answers were indeed truthful to the best of your knowledge at the time you completed the application. Promise to respond correctly hereafter. If they don't ask, say nothing. Don't volunteer any explanation.

Sounds like you had a very bad night 23 years ago. The DWI is a traffic offense, possession of pot and harassing are disorderly person offenses. You should not be denied your P2PP for non-criminal convictions. The only argument that could be made would be an "in the interest of public safety" determination by the Chief LEO. But if you have been clean for 23 years, it would be hard to substantiate such an argument. I think you should be good to go.

+1 on PK90 and A&A! ETA: and I 100% agree with you that Paul is worth a couple bucks more than the online discounters and NJ sales tax.

I don't understand how someone can argue the value in paying more for service when you are buying products in the box. A S&W M&P9c is a S&W M&P9c whether you get it from Bud's or pay $100 extra to get it from Hauges. Hauges can get a bad one just as easily as Buds. And, if it don't work, Haugues is not going to take it back or fix it for you. You will be dealing with S&W. Same for ammo. I can buy a box of 50 American Eagle 9mm on sale from Natchez for $9.99. I won't get any different American Eagle ammo from Hauges, so why would I pay $19.99? Better service? I'd rather have 2 boxes of ammo.

3 reasons: 1. I enjoy recreational shooting. 2. I don't have to justify my rights. 3. Black rifles are scary to whimpy Liberal men.

Laws justifying use of deadly force still apply. You need to have reasonable belief that your life or the life of someone else is in jeopardy.

Hauges has good knowledgeable people who are very helpful and give good information. I'll give them +100 on people, especially compared to some of the places here in NJ. But they are horrible when it comes to price. MSRP on S&W's top-of-the-line M&P9c is $719, fully loaded with features. A good price for that pistol should come in around $600 w/ Crimson Trace. You can get M&P9c's with standard features for less than $500. Next time try Bud's online. Hauges shows up as a local option every time I do a search on Gallery of Guns. They are always much higher than everyone else.

LOL

What happens when you give a 15-year-old kid a S&W M&P-15/22 and a box of 525 Federal .22LR.

The ski resourts in the Poconos have summertime activities like horseback riding, biking, pool, etc. Google Pocono resourts and browse the various sights. Better get moving if you are planning for this weekend. For shopping I recommend Lambertville, NJ and the town in PA just across the river. When you are done there, take a 10-min drive into PA up to Peddlers village for more shopping.

I'm kind of a history buff. The clip is 100% correct about the Vikings helmets. The horns were added by Renaissance artists and costume designers for operas.

Good O'le AMERICAN Fun, right in the middle of occupied territory.

My FFL charges $30+tax, NICS included.

I could not bring myself to read this thread until tonight. Now, I am wishing I did not. There sure are a lot of posts from know-nothings with unfounded opinions. Facts about James: Son of a brilliant statistician, and a good man. Brought up right, in a hard-working upper-middle-class family. Graduated HS with honors. Graduated College with honors Was attending graduate school working on his PhD. Not from a gun-culture family and was not very experienced with firearms. Was not an avid video game player. Did NOT play violent video games regularly. I do not know what happened yet and I am not going to speculate about it. I have a couple mutual friends with Robert. As things settle I will reach out to them and try to find out what they know. I am sure this is going to be a HOT topic at work tomorrow.

I have been sick for the past two days hoping that THIS was NOT the Jame Holmes, son of the Robert Holmes that I know in San Deigo. Sad day. I just got confirmation this evening. I know this guys Dad. We work for the same company. We are colleagues, not really friends. But it is sure freaking me out. His kid was supposed to be some sort of a genius or something. I could not even imagine what he (Robert) must be going through right now.

What?! No hollow points?!?! The media forgot to make a big deal about deadly hollow point ammunition! I love the way the lumped his backpacks in with everything else because they looked tactical. This guy is a frick'n a mental case. The douchebag had 2 pistols on his nightstand and another under his pillow. I almost wish he had gone for one so the cops could have shot his dumb a**.

^^^ This. It is a gun by definition. You do not get the paintball gun exemption (airgun w/ projectile greater than 3/8") because it is fired by an explosive device. Sorry. ETA: And, even if you could somehow construe the definition of a firearm such that the paintball gun exception applied, you would need to perminently paint the muzzel device a conspicuous shade of bright red or orange.

Thanks Sandy. You have pretty much exactly what I want: SS heavy-barrel ranch with suppressor. I've seen stocks around various online sources. But I can't find the SS-Bbl with suppressor. I'll keep looking (can't afford it anyway right now). NICE rifle. Enjoy it.

That is exactly what I have been looking for, but cannot find even online. Is that a rang rifle? The only RR that I can find has a synthetic stock and no flash suppressor. Which model number is it? Where did you buy it?
