K-var supply of Saiga-12 dried up
FYI, K-var.com lists IZ-109 as in stock but they are actually out of stock (as of this morning) I believe the long barrel .308 models are still available. I haven't seen 7.62 and 5.45 rifles on the internet for months (outside of Gunbroker price gougers) Any one had any luck finding Saigas at reasonable prices these days?

School shooting in CT
Over the weekend I remember reading that they recovered enough evidence at the home to understand how and why he did it but they did not elaborate. Re: the aluminum foil, at least this thread is in Bucket 3, shielded from public view. Have there been any new accounts (of the undercover journalist persuasion) since the massacre?

Petition started for gun control legislation
I don't expect the gun grabbers will be government lawyers in cheap suits. Hard to imagine how it would go down but the road there will be insidious.

School shooting in CT
It's a reasonable assumption that he fired at piles of huddled children and most of the rifle rounds tumbled through multiple bodies eventually striking the wall behind them. Sick bastard. Edit: dupe

Fort Knox Safe -- Exceeded my already high expectations.
I'm jealous -- you've got a better safe than me and you live in a much nicer house

NICS down all day.
I just ordered a few more Saigas in case there is a run on them. Hopefully NICS answers the phone next week so I can take delivery

Nice. what's your address and exactly where in the building is it located?

VOTE!
So depressed today... This has never been my experience. On our machines the left-most lights are lit initially which correspond to no choice. Where did you see this behavior?

baseball cap keeps ear muffs from good fit.
I have same problem with my Peltors. It only bothers me (as in hurts) if I'm shooting indoors and the booth next to me is shooting large caliber. I just move a couple booths down or if that is not possible I let the grease out of the bag and ignore the Flock of Seagulls comments from the wise asses.

Gunbroker: what's best payment method?
CC with store front (even if there is a 3% premium), postal MO with private sellers. Talk voice with the seller before the auction ends and always go with your gut. I have bought tons of hardware on GB and haven't been ripped off yet. 0 feedback is scary. The only time I bought from a new seller I snatched a nearly perfect second-series Colt Detective Special. I got it cheap enough that I could have instantly flipped it back on GB for double what I paid. I don't think the seller (a brick and mortar shop) had experience with auction sites and setting appropriate reserves. Favorite handgun in my safe now -- top shelf! Probably not going to tempt fate again with a 0 feedback seller though. Go with your gut and if you get ripped off anyway then you won't be mad at yourself (which is the worst)

Holster questions
I have the Supertuck for my XDm compact .45. It is comfortable but I much prefer OWB like a Safariland as I'm a lean dude. I've never found a IWB that felt "luxurious". It's alright in the car but I wouldn't want to go on a road trip wearing it. It feels best when I am sitting in a position that I can get it off my back by a small angle, i.e. letting the back of my pants sit half an inch lower than normal and/or leaning slightly forward. No one has called me out on printing. Try out the combat cut either as an order option or DIY as I can't imagine drawing with a full leather backing.

Judge lifts "stay" on CCW in MD. Maybe good news for NJ?
I assume their non-resident permit will become shall issue as well. That alone would be very helpful to us who travel to Florida, or an intermediate coast destination, by car. As it is right now with a FL non-resident CCW you can carry your handgun once you leave NJ for DE. But then you have to unload and case for MD as per FOPA as it's practically impossible to go around that state. Then you can carry again once you hit VA. Very annoying. With the MD permit you could carry all the way to the keys. You'd still have to throw your gun, loaded if you please, in the glove box to go through SC but you can do that easily while on the move.

Schumer attachs magazine ban to cyber security bill
Overwhelming majority of comments under the article are pro-2A. Very refreshing for my blood pressure not to rise after reading a comments section. I think you're right. But I don't think it will get far enough to get added so that it can contribute to killing that bill.

Our First Open-Carry Experience
Sorry, I genuinely didn't know it was a "hot" topic or that there was a thread about it already. It's news to me there is contention on the issue as I've been stopped by troops outbound without issue. Disengaging.

Obama is going for it...support gun bans and restrictions
The combination of intelligent and unstable knows no barriers But can you imagine if you had to go through the same medical background investigation like when you buy a high value whole life insurance policy? It would probably take longer to clear that than it does to get a P2P already. And then they'll start drawing lines in the sand. Poor fellow prescribed Xanax 10 years ago for flying anxiety: DENIED. *potentially dangerous*

How to carry your edc/prep items discreetly.
Old fashioned black leather travel bag, i.e. 2'x1'x1'. Same as my outdoor range bag Keep a portable welder and plenty of stock lying around so you can fortify your truck quickly. Don't forget to bury 55 gallon fuel and water drums in your backyard. Sometimes you want to stay put.

Surrendering Handguns and Rifles Scenerio
In the future looking back, there were so many boating accidents that year. At some point there will be so many guns on the ocean floor that boats will be wrecking on the piles of guns.

PA to NJ move?
Yeah I could only find one example where they (NYC) wouldn't sign off but it was resolved: http://njgunpermitattorney.com/2009/08/09/retired-nypd-officer-gets-his-carry-permit/ And a second example in the comments section although it is anecdotal.

CJRPC or Monmouth Rifle and Pistol?
A motivated individual may find success in ignoring the closed membership message on the website and emailing the VP anyway. Worth a shot, eh? Can someone PM the address of the new MCRPC meeting location in LB they started using as of tonight? Thanks in advance I too heard that CJRPC is also near capacity and may close new membership for a short time.

PA to NJ move?
First, did you have enough years as LEO to meet "retired" status? Second can you verify that that your former employer will endorse Part 2 of this application: http://www.njsp.org/info/pdf/firearms/sp-232.pdf Slight caveat, retired LEO can not carry hollow point ammunition If you can't carry as retired LEO I wouldn't even bother applying for civilian carry.

Tin foil hat time, Co Shooting done by the Government?
Didn't read the article but what about student loans and credit cards? I got the feeling this was about a girl, i.e. "are you going to visit me in prison?"

Batman Massacre
It seems that No Gun policies can be legally enforceable under two scenarios. In the first common way you are only trespassing if you do not leave once you are asked to leave. In the second more stringent scenario you are legally culpable for trespassing if you merely ignore a No Guns sign. I believe that it is much more common for people that CC to carry despite No Gun policies under the first legal scenario than the second. I believe that most take their money elsewhere rather than carry under the second scenario, at least that's the feeling I get from the forums. It seems that Colorado state law follows the first scenario. However Aurora has a local law that follows the second scenario, particularly (a) below: Sec. 94-152. - Firearms on private property. (a) It shall be unlawful for any person, carrying a firearm, to enter or remain upon any private property of another or any building or property of a commercial establishment when such property, building, or establishment is posted with notification that the carrying of firearms is prohibited. (b) It shall be unlawful for any person, carrying a firearm, to remain upon any private property of another or any building or property of a commercial establishment after such person has been given verbal notice that the carrying of firearms is prohibited on such property, building, or establishment. © Possession of a permit issued pursuant to C.R.S. 18-12-105.1, as it existed prior to repeal, or possession of a permit or temporary emergency permit issued pursuant to pt. 2 of art. 18 of tit. 9 of the Colorado Revised Statutes shall be no defense to a violation of this section. It also seems that Colorado state law cannot be preempted by local ordinance. So it's not very straightforward. I copy/pasted the law from the beginning of this thread: http://forum.opencar...pons-quot-signs

You've won this time Canada
As a life long monopoly player I wouldn't mind adding a first class city to New Jersey's quiver of urban properties. But we just don't have the money right now. Maybe we could take it with the intention of cutting off state funding and turn it into a sort of Camden's Camden. An "experiment in freedom".

Holy moly, that article is a confusing read!
