Reflection time - why we are where we are
Yeah. There are gun owners and there are people who actually care about gun rights. I was at a "gun store" a couple of days of ago and overhead the elderly Fudd behind the counter proudly state that he hasn't applied for a P2P in over 30 years. I also know a guy who has a 1911 for "home defense". He shoots maybe once a year and the other 364 days the gun is in a locked case in the back of a first floor closet. Seriously. Last horror story: I was talking to a guy at a range once about restrictive gun laws and mentioned that (with some exceptions like inheritance) people in Puerto Rico are only allowed to own a maximum of two firearms. He says "Why would you need more than that?" There may a million gun owners in NJ, but most of them are clueless, apathetic or both.

5 Worst Places to Get Info on Guns
Let me tell you about Dick's... Went in for a Mav 88, asked the kid behind the counter for the 20 ga. He's totally lost so I point it out. The shotgun is next to a 10/22, so he says, handling both "Oh yeah, you can tell it's the 20 not the 12 because the barrel is bigger".

"B" grade $99 Mosins @ Classic
I bought one of these around Christmas time (my only surplus firearm). It shoots well, which is all I care about. The wood is a little beat up and it didn't come with a sling. This at 50 yards, with iron sights, out of the box.

BLF has previously bemoaned the trigger on his duty gun, so maybe.Or maybe the standard trigger also sux.

Shows what I know. Though in my defense, they do all look the same. :-)

My Rant of the day on mag limits bill A2006/S993
The AWB language was always there. What this bill does is modify the existing statute to: A. Reduce max capacity from 15 to 10 B. Exclude tube fed .22lr rifles C. Exempt retired LEOs from the handgun magazine limit (though still only allowed 15) and active LEOs from mag limits on any semi auto firearm (though only up to 15 off duty). This link shows the changes in green. Everything else is already the law. http://legiscan.com/NJ/text/S993/2014

NJ Parole- G23 or 22. This site has a bunch of info, but I'd bet most of it is out of date: https://sites.google.com/site/worldinventory/pw_newjersey

My Rant of the day on mag limits bill A2006/S993
From a previous post: I've looked at this subject quite a bit. There have been two incidents were a shooter was taken down during a reload. A. 1993 Collin Ferguson on the L.I.R.R. Ferguson was tackled by passengers on the train after firing 30 rounds (2 magazines). He was walking down the length of the train and shooting slowly. No one tried to stop him after the first magazine. B. 1998 Kip Kinkel, Thurston High School (Springfield, OR) Kinkel (15 yrs old), went to his school with a Ruger 10/22, 50 rounds (killed 2 people*). Tackled by a student as he was trying to reload the rifle*. The gungrabbers like to point to the 2011 Tuscon Shooting, but the loon in that incident was actually clearing a malfuntion and fumbled the 33 rounder* he was using in his G19 when he got taken down. *As an aside, while Kinkel was being taken down by a kid he'd already shot, he dropped the 10/22 and pulled out a Glock 19, shooting 2 more students. The Tuscon shooting would probably also have been worse, had Loughner stuck with factory 15 round mags and/or had a back-up gun. Take aways for you guys who carry (cops in NJ, other citizens out-of-state): Caliber over capacity. High quality mags always. A BUG is sometimes more better than bringing your first gun back into the fight.

Nice buy. That's the next gun my list.

NJ Pawn and Gun
Well, the way the law is written, makes it sound like pawnbrokers are specifically prohibited from dealing in firearms AND, separately, no one can give a loan on a firearm. 2C:39-11. Pawnbrokers; loaning on firearms a. Any pawnbroker who sells, offers to sell or to lend or to give away any weapon, destructive device or explosive is guilty of a crime of the third degree. b. Any person who loans money, the security for which is any handgun, rifle or shotgun is guilty of a disorderly persons offense. IANAL/YMMV

Cheapest place to buy Bulk targets
You can make your own shoot-n-see targets pretty cheaply. All you need is some brightly colored construction paper, cover it with clear tape (packing tape) and spray paint it in a dark color.

A Big -1 for Shooter's
Just to play devil's advocate here, the person behind the counter might not have had the authority/ability to override the price in the system. Of course even then, they should've called a manager over.

What revolver does your wife/gf/sister/mom etc. prefer?
My wife really likes my Model 10 (mainly because the smooth trigger).
