Ruger GP100 38 Special
Ruger actually doesn't have an official warranty. However, they'll fix just about any gun you send in so long as it's not owner abuse. Doesn't matter when or where you got it either.

Ruger GP100 38 Special
I have to agree with Bob on this. And not just because the carbon rings. I shoot a lot of .357s. But, like most people, I shoot 38s even more. And I load .38 +Ps in my HD guns. So I have plenty of use for .38 special revolvers. I'll add that one of the things I like about that model in particular is the fixed rear sight. And Glen is right about the price. I've paid just a little less for a 4" GP, but it was blued, not stainless. I'm pretty sure that's as cheapest I've seen a stainless GP100.

An unloaded handgun is useless when your life is in the line.
lol. It sure isn't. But stupid drug addicts and wannabe gangsters are found in all kinds of neighborhoods. I also wear my seat belt driving around town, even though it's not the autobahn. Plus (and this is the real point in the OP), it's not whether or not it's likely to happen; it's that IF it does, you're not gonna have time for equipment issues. Hence, the long guns are pumps and the handguns are revolvers. And you're 100% right about mental preparedness.

Assault rifle? as·sault ri·fle noun a rapid-fire, magazine-fed automatic rifle designed for infantry use. Bushmaster Carbon 15? Not likely. Then again... http://www.midwayusa.com/product/587974/bushmaster-carbon-15-airsoft-rifle-6mm-electric-semi-full-automatic-polymer-black

An unloaded handgun is useless when your life is in the line.
For those that carry, always have one in the pipe. Also, safeties suck. For HD, if it's not on you, that means you're already scrambling to get to it, retrieve it, rack the slide and present (God help you if you're also dealing with an external safety). Meanwhile the guys that just kicked your door in are coming at your family apace while breaking all 4 rules. At the risk of sounding paranoid, I keep long guns and handguns on each level, loaded and chambered. And if I'm going to be more than a few steps away from them (kitchen, deck etc) or answering the door, a handgun comes with. If kids are over, then everything gets secured, but remains accessible: quick draw safe for some; locked, but flimsy, closet for others and one on my hip.

West Deptford police station shot up in drive by
Starts with a 4, apparently: "The rounds appear to be at least .40-caliber or higher, authorities said."

Another disturbing seizure story
Unfortunately those 30 rounders = a 4th degree indictable charge, making the guy a prohibited person for life. Effin NJ.

Why is it (money related)...
I think it's pick and pluck type foam, so you should be able to customize

Why is it (money related)...
If you're going to carry a second case just for guns, get a bunch of these (hard cases, not just rugs) and line then up how you want. http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B000P43134?cache=5101a3fa837b6ad92d5e640b816bcaacπ=AC_SX110_SY165_QL70&qid=1407877729&sr=1-51#ref=mp_s_a_1_51 Alternatively, this is a slightly bigger than the one in the OP at about half the price: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00ELKU79Y/

Question about a private sale
Good advice, generally. I will point out though, that most lawyers know their field and not much outside of it. Mergers and acquisitions attorney? No good in a criminal case. Criminal defense attorney? Don't count on him for your real estate closing. Etc. And NJ gun laws are an especially murky river to be swimming in.

Zues gun shop in Pleasentville.
I've heard of other shops that charge more to transfer a gun they can get than one they can't. The new vs used policy is probably along those lines. So yeah, it's likely about "encouraging" customers to buy from them directly.

Gun modification affects Home Defense status
lol. Also, for what it's worth, Ricky's plan fails to account for someone hearing the shots- neighbors, some guy walking his dog, the mailman (doesn't always happen at night), even the dead guy's wheel man, who can call the fuzz anonymously after speeding off, etc. Or, the same "witness" having already called Five-0 when they saw the ex-burglar breaking in. It further ignores the dead guy's girlfriend/family reporting him missing and the iPhone location data showing an extended stop at Ricky's address. Or, that said dead guy already told his crew the he was going to hit Ricky's house that day. Which may not be a problem at first, until...

Jury nullification is one of those legal issues that defies logic. It's perfectly legal, but the courts have consistently ruled that judges can and should prevent juries from being told that they can engage in it. Because the law...

GLOCK: Terrible ergos, sucky trigger, useless sights
Or not. Backstory: I went out to CRRC today for the Thursday night pistol shoot and as I was unpacking my range bag I realized that I brought everything but my gun. ugh. Luckily my buddy Wenshih was there with a couple of extra guns. Talk about saving the day. So instead of driving home pissed off, I got to shoot 3 different guns, 2 of which I hadn't shot before- PX4 Storm, 9mm (1st time), Sig P226, 9mm and a GLOCK 21 (first time shooting any GLOCK). Results: I shot the G21 a lot better than either of the other two guns. The much maligned grip angle? Felt totally natural to me. The allegedly sucky trigger? Yeah, not super crisp, but not the worst I've felt by far. Sights? Good enough to get on target from 25yds at dusk. Bottom line: I'm sold.

Rain Barrels
What I would do, if the idea is to store water in case of a disruption to the supply, is buy a handful of stainless or food grade plastic barrels, fill them from the tap or some other potable supply and set them aside. No need to worry about contamination and no need to wait for rain.
