  1. Just read your last post. I think we agree, actually. I'm probably being overly cautious, because Jersey.
  2. A: I wouldn't even recommend transportinga handgun to a WMA and leaving it in your trunk. You might be able to argue that even though handguns are specifically prohibited by the WMA, it still counts as an exempted location to transport a handgun. Even though you can't shoot it there. But even if that worked out for you, it would be after you were arrested, charged, the gun(s) seized, you put up a $50-75k bail and paid through the nose for a good lawyer. Again, that's if it never comes out of the car. ___________ B: If you do bring it out and load it (nevermind shooting it like the OP's buddy), you can no longer claim the transportation exemption: All weapons being transported under paragraph (2) of subsection b., subsection e., or paragraph (1) or (3) of subsection f. of this section shall be carried unloaded and contained in a closed and fastened case, gunbox, securely tied package, or locked in the trunk of the automobile in which it is being transported, and in the course of travel shall include only such deviations as are reasonably necessary under the circumstances.
  3. Dave: First, let me say that I'm 100% opposed to these stupid, unconstitutional laws. That said, the OP specifically mentioned "I have a friend who continues to shoot his .22 pistol at one of the WMA ranges." All it takes is one jerk who sees him to call the locals and his life is ruined. As for "holding black powder hand gun NRA certification classes there"... That's the same as transporting to buybacks: It's illegal, until a govt agency declares it ok. By fiat. Because we're a democracy, lol.
  4. WMAs are not exempted locations. For a handgun, he's looking at 2nd degree unlawful possession of a weapon 2C:39-5(b). That's a Graves Act offense and carries a mandatory minimum sentence of 5 years in state prison, without a mandatory 3 year parole disqualifier. If he has hollowpoints, those are an additional (4°) charge.
  5. It's actually taller than the G26? For those who own/have shot a G42, is that size pocketable?
  6. Actually, you can reverse your conviction after entering a plea. ·You can move to withdraw the plea. Easier before sentencing, but still doable after. You'd have to assert a claim that you were unaware of something that you should've known prior to entering your plea. For instance, a couple of years ago, NJ had to vacate a bunch of sentences because the plea form the state had been using didn't specify that non-citizens could be deported as a result of pleading guilty. Of course, almost all of them just entered a new plea and were resentenced, but at least a few withdrew their pleas and went to trial. ·You can also appeal after pleading if new evidence surfaces that could help you at trial, like DNA. ·You can also have the conviction vacated if there's proof of a due process violation, like prejudicial or illegal jury instructions (some people plea while the jury is deliberating) prosecutorial misconduct (fabricating evidence, withholdings exculpatory evidence, coercing the defendant to plea with off the record threats or promises, witness tampering), not being afforded counsel or bineffective assistance of counsel AND which you didn't know about at the time of your plea. ·You can demonstrate that you lacked the capacity to understand the charges/consequences or were unable to assist in your defense due to diminished intellectual capacity, whether permanent or temporary, including being under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medications at the time of your plea. ·Or the Court comes to believe that you lied about your guilt and withdraws the pleas even without you requesting it. ·You were denied a motion before or during the trial (for instance supprsssing evidencebdue to an unlawful search) which is why you plead, but which was later granted on appeal (appeal of the motion denial, not the conviction). If that new ruling increases your chances to prevail at trial, the conviction will be vacated and you can go to trial, renegotiate the terms of the plea or just have the case dismissed. ·And a few other scenarios that allow for a post-plea appeal. Basically, it's not over until it's over.
  7. I don't see the point. A regular pistol grip shotgun with an 18.5" barrel is only 2 1/4" longer OAL and 100% legal. See e.g. http://www.mossberg.com/product/shotguns-pump-action-mossberg-500-tactical-500-jic-jic-mariner/52340

    That's how mine is:
  10. Didn't freedom reloads blow up a forum member's gun a few months back? A quick Google search turned up a bunch of similar stories. Here's just a few- http://www.ar15.com/mobile/topic.html?b=2&f=551&t=251527 http://texags.com/forums/34/topics/2486660 http://handgunplanet.com/review/product-issue-freedom-munitions-124-grain-9mm-fmj/ http://mossbergowners.com/forum/index.php?threads/freedom-munitions-9mm-ammunition-warning.12203/ http://www.xdtalk.com/threads/failure-with-freedom-munitions.266853/ I wouldn't shoot their stuff if it was free.
  11. I don't know how much of a win it was: http://m.washingtonexaminer.com/atf-raises-new-worries-about-ar-15-ammo/article/2561422 "The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives on Thursday raised new concerns about surplus military ammo used in popular AR-15 rifles and pistols just days after pulling back on a proposal to ban the ammo because it could threaten police safety. In a Senate Appropriations Committee hearing, ATF Director B. Todd Jones said all types of the 5.56 military-style ammo used by shooters pose a threat to police as more people buy the AR-15-style pistols. "Any 5.56 round" is "a challenge for officer safety," he said. Jones asked lawmakers to help in a review of a 1986 bill written to protect police from so-called "cop killer" rounds that largely exempted rifle ammo like the 5.56 because it has been used by target shooters, not criminals."
  12. All about Ruger trigger reset... http://www.grantcunningham.com/blog_files/6128704bcecbafe8622e6be57028d96b-782.html
  13. Great advice. I actually enjoy shooting double action.

  18. All @ 10 yards, 2.25" SP101 DAO, shooting 158gr .357 magnums at 3" target. 5 rounds After seeing the flyer above, I loaded 3 per cylinder, 2 empty chambers to check for flinching. Still happened: this first target I had one completely off the paper(lower right). Both targets, 9 rounds each.
  19. Re: sub compact 1911s. I just saw this the other day.
  20. Ruger LCR would be my first choice.
