I was told by my FFL that there is no such thing as "pre-ban" in NJ. If it meets the "assault rifle" criterion, it's banned... I also had an M1, carbine, and it's not just the 30 round mags that are illegal- the GUN itself is, because it's on the list of banned weapons... doesn't matter if it's GI, or Universal, or whatever... if it's called an M1 Carbine, it's illegal in NJ. Mandatory 5 year sentence (so I was told.) ...but the Ruger Mini30 is legal... because NJ legislators are effing morons.

Which Scout? Springfield? Ruger? ??? I'm guessing Springfield... you mention "lineage" and that must mean M1...

LOL ain't it the truth.

This has probably been discussed ad nauseum, so apologies if it has, but... Guy breaks into my house, I tell him I have a gun and will kill him if he doesn't leave, he doesn't leave my home and I kill him (shooting him in the front, because of course the guy would be...ahem..."coming at me".... when I fire ) ...am I going to jail? Would that be considered "defense of LIFE" (not property) here in NJ? Or is that ALL up to a jury to decide (I actually don't CARE, I'd rather be tried by 12 than carried by 6 anyway.)

Gun enthusiast for a long time, but due to recent... uh, administration changes... in the last 4 years... am actually getting a bit concerned about things, so am re-igniting the "gun nut" within me... lol Originally from Ohio, father fought in WWII, conservative (not necessarily Republican), studier of the Founding Fathers, lover of liberty, freedom, hater of anything smelling of rights infringement. Anyway, hi. If anybody know where a Ruger Mini-30 Tactical (that's the blued one with the 20 round mag, altho the dealer can keep the mag of course) on a rack, or if you have one you'd be willing to part with, please let me know. "Firearms stand next in importance to the Constitution itself. They are the American people's liberty teeth and keystone under independence ... From the hour the Pilgrims landed, to the present day, events, occurrences, and tendencies prove that to insure peace, security and happiness, the rifle and pistol are equally indispensable . . . The very atmosphere of firearms everywhere restrains evil interference - they deserve a place of honor with all that is good" (George Washington)
