Have you ever considered updating your profile pic?

NICS only hits on commitments for treatment. 72-hour observations and voluntary out-patient treatment do not hit on NICS. However, 72-hour observations may be noted on police reports and thereby may be discovered during the background investigation for your FPID and PTPP.

By letter of the law, you should be OK. Some local PD Chiefs might make an issue. It's basically in the hands of the issuing agency. I say, go for it. If you get denied, get a lawyer.

I took my CCW pistol with me to Arizona and had two issues at PHL. 1. It took a full 45 minutes from the time the baggage lady called TSA until I was cleared to go. The TSA officer took forever to show up, then inspected my gun case, complained that it was not labeled by the manufacturer as "TSA Approved", checked with his supervisor to see if it was OK, searched my bag in its entirety, questioned why I was only transporting 37 rounds when the original ammo box held 50, and basically made sure I knew that my fate was in his hands. 2. My checked bag did not make the flight and was sent on the next flight. The airline delivered it to the hotel the next morning. Zero problems flying from PHX to PHL. Moral of my story: Add at least a 45-minute buffer to your check-in time. Better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it.

NATO M80 Ball. Not match quality but certainly not junk. Good advice. Better safe than sorry.

Not a legal question, but I know there are some gunsmith on here too: Are there any correction/adjustments that can be made to the firing pin that will lessen this behavior?

Statistics published by accredited professionals in a professional industry publication are different than statistics compiled by political action committees. Scientist who make up statistics in professional journals lose their credibility and risk their careers. Also, the article I quoted was not about gun control. It was a scientific study about the psychology of the murder-suicide. It was discussing the triggers and predictors of the behavior. That, my friend, is a credible source.

Hypothetically, if someone owned a M1A and knew it to be prone to slamfire and knew to expect the rifle to double-fire at least 2 or 3 times for any 10-round magazine, could some persecutor construe that to be a machine gun?

Send this information in an e-mail to NBC. Tell them that their reporter voiced a personal opionion and made assertions of facts that were indeed wrong. M/S is not on the rise and there is nothing to indicate that a lack of access to a handgun would have made a difference.

LOL. I agree. Their website feels like it was build using one of those site-builder applications they used to sell in Staples for $9.99 ten years ago. No pistol on the rifle ranges. Winter hours are the same as summer hours: Saturday & Sunday from noon to 4:30.

Fact Checks (Liberals *love* their fact checks): Journal of the American Academy of Psychiatry and the Law 37:3:371-376 (September 2009): Murder-suicides are NOT on the rise: “…the incidence of murder-suicide in the United States and other western countries was shown to be stable throughout the previous 40 years.” The US does not have significantly more incidences: “Coid reviewed 17 studies … that involved 10 nations and found that the murder-suicide incidence was surprisingly similar and constant. He found the incidence to be between 0.2 and 0.3 per 100,000.” On the availability or inaccessibility of firearms: “[in the US,] The overwhelming weapon of choice of the perpetrator of a murder-suicide was a firearm. In the newspaper surveillance study, Malphurs and Cohen found that 85.8 percent of the perpetrators used firearms, whereas Hanzlick and Koponen reported 92 percent. … In England and Wales, Travis et al. sought to determine whether tougher gun laws had decreased the rate of murder-suicides. They found that the number of murder-suicides involving firearms decreased to 16 percent, but the overall murder-suicide rate remained constant. In their study, the primary method of homicide was strangulation (36%).” On June 26, 2007, a professional wrestler strangled his wife, suffocated his 7-year-old son, and then hanged himself. On January 18, 2008, an aunt was taking her niece and nephew to her house for a weekend stay. While en route, she pulled over, took off her clothes and those of her niece and nephew, and carried the children into on-coming traffic. All three were killed. On that same day in New Jersey, an executive vice-president of a bankrupt mortgage company broke his wife's neck and then killed himself by jumping off a bridge. Conclusion: Tougher firearm laws will not reduce the number of murder-suicides. They would simply require the perpetrators to be more creative in their modality. Liberals need to STFU and stop using misinformation about tragedies to perpetuate political agendas.

I talked to one of the RSOs back in mid-November. He said "some time next year."

Even ones where the subway's flourescent lights work underwater. ;-)

I cannot imagine what the internet would be like without photoshop. The whole point of this pic is the pistol and the president, yet neither the pistol nor the president were in the original picture.

NOT in NJ Son.

Good info, AC201. Thanks. Hey, FFL's. I hope you noticed the not-so-subtle hint that I am open to an offer. Anyone who can do $650 out the door for a M9A1 has my business. I would rather support a local FFL than make the online drop-shippers richer. I reside between NJTP exits 4 and 5. ETA: Thanks Ron. I bought my Saiga SG21 from Paul. He is a 45 minute drive for me, but I am willing to make the trek if he can do $650 out the door.

Everyone, Thanks for the advice. On an internet order, how can I tell if I am getting an Italian-made Beretta? I can get a M9A1 online for $593+$40=$633 out the door. Best out the door price from brick and morter shops is $727. Is Italian-made worth $94?

The awesomeness that emanates from my three 1911’s impedes me from bringing a Glock into the fold. Once you shoot a hammer-fired pistol, you can never go back to striker-fired. Hence, my desire to rid myself of the M&P.

I am thinking about selling a S&W M&P9c that has been collecting dust for 3 years and using the cash to supplement the purchase of a Beretta. I got two questions: 1. Is there any difference between the M9A1 and the 92A1 other than the markings and serial number? They look pretty much identical to me. 2. Someone told me that the 92FS INOX has a better trigger, but I cannot confirm or dispel that on the internet. True? Fales? Is it worth the extra $130 (20%) Recommendations appreciated. I am leaning toward the M9A1. Thanks

An anti-gun persecutor can construe anything anyway they want. But we cannot live our lives in fear. ADD/ADHD medications are neither prescribed as narchotics nor effective as narchotics when taken as prescribed. If OP is abusing his meds, he is not good to go. Otherwise, WTF?!?! Take the tinfoil hat off and answer the question with "NO!"

Addreall is indeed a controlled substance. But, the question reads: "...use of a narcotic(s) or other controlled dangerous substance(s)" You need to be very precise in reading these questions and don't read anything into them. Adderall is neither a narchotic nor a dangerous substance. So, you are good to go.

Precisely how do the police *make* you open your gun safe without a warrant? If the police come into your home without a warrant, you walk in to the kitchen, take out the phone book, sit down at the kitchen table, flip it open to the Lawyers section and ask for everyone's badge numbers.

+1 for Impact. They have excellent customer service that makes them worth the couple $$ extra compared to the drop-shippers.

I just discovered Freedon Munitions. Their everyday price seems to be 10% less than the going rate for internet economy ammo, and shipping is included in their pricing. They almost seem too good to be true. Has anyone had experience with them? How are they as far as reliability and bullet quality?
