It is still not cool to "out" someone like that.

Unfortunately, I let my fear uncertainty and disinformation deprive my children on the Red Rider experience. The children of a friend of mine are now coming to that Red Rider age. He is considering getting a couple and he asked me how it would work. 6 years ago when I looked into them for my kids, I asked the guy at Dicks why he only had pellet rifles an no BB guns. He told me that BB guns were illegal in NJ. He also told me that I could buy one in PA and sneak it in, but the kids would have to shoot in the basement because they could not shoot in the back yard. I know how much credibility gun-store lawyers have, so I figured I would bounce the idea off the forum. What say y’all? Can my friend’s kids plink tin cans off a sawhorse in the back yard? (This thread is not about safety. Assume a safe and suitable setup)

Your alarm idea will get you pistol wipped until you are unconcious, if not flat-out shot. You need to consider the psychology of the type of individuals (yes, plural, invasions are rarely solo acts) who would perpetrate a home invasion and hold a gun to your head by your safe. In his mind: you disrespected him, you deprived him of what he is expecting to find in your safe, and he now needs to worry about how he will look in the eyes of his accomplices.

He was shooting blanks at balloons.

That is almost unbelievable. If it were not for the low production quality, I would swear it was faked.

I opened up my facebook page this evening and saw this little treasure. Then, I noticed it was from Rayco. Rayco, please explain why this photo is on your facebook page.

I was making fun Ray Ray's post in Suggestions. Translating for his benefit that by putting + a google, you strongly agree. He asked for "Agree"/"Disagree" buttons instead of people replying with +1/-1. Check it out. I got a good chuckle. http://njgunforums.c...isagree-option/

Long time. No hope for a warrantee claim now. They are not for security. They are just to keep my nieces and nephews safe from my 2 HD pistols. I have a real safe for security.

So, for Ray Ray, does this mean that you "strongly agree"?

I do not see this as a Legislative issue. The spirit of the law is clear: possession of an Assault Firearm is a crime. The issue is that the enforcement authority has been given the power to dictate what is and is not an Assault Firearm. Paul's assertion is that the NJSP feels the way that something is advertised is substantial as to whether it is an Assault Weapon. That is just crazy.

I'll accept Paul's experience in this matter. But this brings up an obvious question: By the cited standard, if Daisy advertised a M1 Carbine BB-gun, it would be a prohibited assault weapon. Does the NJSP Firearms Unit know anything about firearms? The only simularities between these two rifles is in the name and appearance. They are substantially DISSIMULAR. Even my kid knows the difference between a gas-operated carbine rifle that shoots center-fire ammunition and a recoil actuated rifle that shoots rimfire ammo. Again, I am not saying Paul is wrong, just saying that the NJSP's position could not be further from the spirit of the law on this one.

Whenever someone says that something is not legal, ask them why. The M1 Carbine is banned by name. The receiver is stamped as follows: The Citadel .22LR is NOT an M1 Carbine. It is good to go in NJ.

Uhh... oviously, Yes. Just kidding. Both my wife and I followed the directions precisely. The locks would not accept the new combo. IMHO, the factory default is good enough.

+0.5 on V-line (or, for Ray Ray, "half agree") I bought 2 V-line drawer safes on annother forum's recommendations. I am good with everything about them except I cannot change the combination (button sequence) on either. Both are stuck with the factory default combo. Pluses are: 100% kid-proof and no key to lose or battery to fail. I did not know they made an in-wall or I would have considered it.

Stackon makes several sizes. They are keyed, not electronic. However, the keys are oversized and I practiced. I think I can get in just as fast as a keypad.

I think the use of the words "support" and "oppose" are misleading. When offered the choice of "do you support or oppose?", people claim either to support or to oppose something. But in actuallity, I think it is more people "are not opposed to" gay marriage and "do not support" additional gun control. I personally believe that Joe Public is not going to take any action or change his vote because of these issues.

That's pretty much the going rate for an independent FFL in South Jersey. Fair being fair, most of the gun stores in SJ want $35 to even $45. Comparing apples to apples, $35 is at the lower end of the brick and morter rates.

I don't want to get into a fight, but that is not what you told me standing in your store. You wanted to charge me $150 to transfer 3 rifles on 1 NICS.

WTF? That stupid idiot needs to be banned from ever getting another hunting license, for life.

Spike Tactical!

Fed, by Federal Law, aren't allowed to have a registration database. By the way, are you interested in buying a bridge?

What are you guys picking on me for? We all know that the NJSP (as in "the NJSP" not an affront to any particular NJSP trooper) tell FFLs things that are not accurate about AK47's, HP ammo, flash suppressors, gun safes, etc. I was just wondering if this might be more of the same because I could not find anything in the law to support it and I could not imagine how having a copy of your PTP would matter in an encounter with a LEO. So help me understand this hypothetical: I am driving to the range, stopped at a light, and I get rear-ended. My truck is not drivable so the police show up to have it towed. I have a bed full of targets, range gear, rifles, and pistols. Am I going to be asked to produce proof that I had a PTP when I purchased the pistols?

I vote -1 on Rayco for their $50 transfer fees. They do have great prices if you buy what they have in stock, what they can order for you, or if you order from Gun Genie. But if you order something on your own and have it shipped there, they want $50 + NICS for the transfer. I also vote -1 for lack of knowledge about NJ gun laws. They act like mindless victims of NJSP disinformation.

A couple years ago, I watched a TV show where they compared the wounds caused by FMJ, HP, and frangible. They shot a pig carcus with each and filmed it in slow motion. The FMJ went through and through, creating a connical would cavity. The HP went half-way through, expanded and created a cantalope-sized wound cavity. The frangible round made 20 lbs of ground sausage. Since most accidental shootings on the range are direct-fire accidents and not ricochet accidents, I would prefer my neighbor NOT use frangible ammo. They are meat grinders.

Are we responsible for keeping the PTP Handgun & Form of Registration after the sale is complete? I have purchased 4 handguns in NJ and each time was told that I needed to keep the pink copy of the registration form in a safe and that I need to carry a photocopy in my handgun case in case I have an encounter with LEO. Is this just another example of the disinformation that the NJSP perpetrates on FFL’s or is this something we are actually supposed to do?
