The Gun Owner Next Door
Nope, because he can only drive one of them at a time I've argued this point with my auto insurance agent on several occasions. If I am permitted to use duct tape in this metaphor..I can discharge four or five of my guns at once.

I can’t believe it...
In some ways that cat is out of the bag -- the data for all points on the map are easily retrieved in batch and written to a CSV file (Bucket 3 -- check) Some jerk-off activist is bound to keep it up somewhere on the internet, out of the reach of our courts.

Saiga prices...WTF!
Comrades, The price is how much people are willing to pay for it. It is not price gouging as it is not an essential commodity. In my opinion Saiga's have been "too expensive" for years -- by a factor of 2-4x. If you want someone to blame look at the supply chain. I think you'll find the underlying issue is that the quantity available on the US market has been limited rather than the selling price is not being limited

Can I ask a question - Gun Show Loophole
I'm trying to wrap my head around what part of NJ's "system" is pretty decent. My ability to purchase a new handgun is effectively blocked at the municipal level for an arbitrary period of time. In a process that informs my employer that I am purchasing a gun. Then I am strictly limited to the quantity of handguns I can purchase. Then I have to submit to a state background check that is essentially the federal background check plus an unreasonable fee and a restricted schedule. Then my handgun is automatically registered with the municipality and the state police. Then when I finally take possession of the handgun it is illegal to possess in all but a set of narrowly definited circumstances in which stopping to take a leak on the way to the range could be deemed unreasonable and put me in jail for the rest of my life. Even my ability to obtain a non-resident license in some other states is hindered because the state of NJ is shall issue when it is actually no issue.

anyone else glad they DON'T have an AR right now?
I've heard good things about the AR platform.

The panic has to stop.... Some really dumb or uninformed people
I got a Saiga coming in from an FFL in Texas. Poor guy is out of breath when he answers the phone. Think his storefront inventory of 3000 firearms is sold out

Can I go to a range in NY?
The longer you stay northbound on the NY Thruway the better. The most southern crossing I feel comfortable taking is the Tappen Zee. I've done the GWB before coming back from CT -- missed the Tappen Zee exit off the Saw Mill -- and let me tell you it is a nerve racking journey. When I go to VT I probably do the same thing as you -- take the Thruway 50 miles past Albany and exit on 149 to 4 North. As soon as you cross into VT on 4 there is an exit for Route 22A with a Mobil gas station and McDonalds which is a perfect place to load and holster a handgun and vice versa. From there you can get back on 4 towards Rutland or 22A for north/south access. P.S. Your protections under federal law (FOPA) are an affirmative defense. Meaning you first get arrested and guns taken. Never volunteer information to NY police, you are under no obligation to do so.

Can I go to a range in NY?
The latter you can do but it will catch their attention which will necessitate a conversation. I have a ching sling on my rifle that I like to practice with. The first time that I tried that the conversation ended with "Me: I know it's not as accurate as the bench rest but I need to practice it. RSO: alright, what do I know, you know best <eye roll>". I should also mention that you cannot shoot standing up as the rafters are too low. As bad as it is I wish my county had a public range that I could complain about

Good article on why there WON'T be a new AWB or major assault on gun rights
Probably had the same spelling and grammatical errors in it too. If it had been a couple decades earlier it would have been a lot shorter and all uppercase since he would have copied it with a typewriter. While wearing comically large reading glasses I imagine.

Can I go to a range in NY?
Thanks Scott Yes it is very silly policy -- how it makes the range safer I have no idea. You definitely don't want to hear about the scolding you get when you lift the rifle slightly off the sandbag to shoot off-hand

Can I go to a range in NY?
It's a great place to shoot bolt action. If you happen to find yourself in the area then just grab your truck gun and shoot (I'm in the area a lot). Lots of random steel to aim for between the targets. It's really cheap. There is skeet and archery. Close to some great hiking with breathtaking views (Hudson Highlands opposite West Point).

Gun imports at risk?
Tempting. First time I've spent more on guns than presents during Christmastime

Yeah sometimes guys show up for the first time with AR and AK pattern rifles and you'd think they just found out Santa Claus didn't exist with the look on their faces

Getting a Bolt Action?
I have a Ruger scout rifle in .308 and I couldn't be happier. i think that is similar to the Savage model. I can usually hit 10,9,8 at 100 yds with the iron sights. Can't see well enough to shoot 200 yds and thinking about getting optics next year. It is my 2nd favorite gun to shoot (favorite is a Lee Enfield No. 4 Mk 1) and it always comes with me to the range. Takes about 20 rounds for it get hot enough so that the bolt cannot be closed. Coincidentally this is about the max number of rounds you'll want to shoot in a single outing as it gives your chest quite a beating. I think .308 might generally be a cleaner ammunition to shoot than 7.62x39 and it is always available at the big box stores if you're in a bind. Sometimes I've had to spend an extra buck per box on the higher quality hunting ammo when the plinking ammo is out of stock, that's my only complaint That's all I can think of -- can't go wrong with a bolt action in .308

Can I go to a range in NY?
Yup long guns are fine, they don't even have to be cased or in the trunk but the gun or magazine can not be loaded. Long guns are not firearms by NY law unless they have a smooth barrel under 18" or rifled barrel is under 16" (you get the idea). Definitely no pistols. No mags over 10 rounds unless they're pre-ban (which you wouldn't have as a NJ resident anyway but your NY friends might). I shoot at Westchester County public range (Blue Mountain Reservation) all the time. Magazines are pointless at that particular range because rounds must be loaded one at a time and the RSOs have shields. Great place to shoot bolt action though. Where are you going?

BLF, do you have .410 and 20ga too?

Gun imports at risk?
Wish I had IZ versions of the 7.62 and 5.45 to complete the collection. Should have been more aggressive tracking them down before the election.

I hope I didn't just quadruple my Russian inventory in vain.

Permit about to expire - quick question????
I just left Eatontown after almost a decade. Detectives and the COP are a class act -- permits were always issued within a month and no problems extending them. The COP/administration before him took 2-3 months to issue P2Ps. Nappen's office is right behind the station. I wish more towns were like Eatontown.
