I think the asking price is $450. Could probably get it for a bit less.

Anyone have an opinion on a Mauser HSc pistol? Haven't bought it but I've got my eye on it while I wait for the OGAM clock to let me buy again. It's one of the later commercial .380 models from the 70's, looks like new in the original box, papers, 2 mags and the brush. I know nothing about these. Are they collectible? With the heel mag release it's not something I would carry. Doesn't seem to be a lot of info on the interwebs about them. Any comments / feedback / opinions appreciated. Thanks

This to me is the problem. If the TRO is lifted there is absolutely no justification for the prosecutor or judge to have any say.

And another recommendation for the Wilson Combat Beretta. Absolutely a fantastic version of the 92fs.

When I first started shooting I made sure to have enough Home Defense ammo on hand, and would buy whatever I was going to shoot at the range when I got there (usually about 300-350 rounds of 9mm and .45acp combined). Then I realized how much that was costing me, so I started to buy what I wanted ahead of time - just enough to cover the next range trip (the same 300-350 rounds) - I stored everything I had in a single 30cal ammo box. That made odd sense to me until the first time I couldn't find my calibers in the stores, so I started buying a bit more mail order - ordering enough to justify the shipping cost (maybe I had 1000 rounds combined). Next I started acquiring more handguns and additional calibers - all requiring me to order enough in each for the range and reserves for the next shortage. Fast forward to today. My philosophy now is to stack it high and deep as long as I can store it safely. Since I'm moving to NH soon I have no need to buy anything more until after that.

Comment deleted. I tried to make a joke about the Taylor Ham / Pork Roll thread and when I re-read what I wrote - well, lets just say I failed miserably and appeared to be attacking someone personally. Never my intent. Mrs Peel you have my sincere apology. Dean

I usually go through 200-250 rounds when I go handgun shooting. I'll bring 3 or 4 handguns - sometimes I go "platform" shooting (only bring various 1911s, Beretta's or revolvers for example), sometimes it's single caliber, sometimes 1 from column A and 1 from column B, etc. Still about the same number of rounds regardless of what I bring. I practice various target drills and always try to end on a good grouping. I have my favorites and usually bring at least one that I don't shoot as well as the others so I can work on it.

I'm hoping... I don't know the politics of Windham yet but the few people I've met already were great. The township officials are friendly and helpful. My only concern is Windham is a commuting suburb for Boston for anyone looking to escape MA but still live close enough to work. Nice neighborhood, enough property for us without being too much, and enough usable land for me to put up my workshop. Not saving any money on the house though. I'd like to say I'm moving because of the anti-2A stance in NJ but that's just not the case - it's only one of the factors (and a small one at that). While the dems are anti, they're even more so now because its one of the only issues they can do something about. They use it to APPEAR to be doing something. I don't think even they believe the shit they're shoveling. Frankly, I'm tired of being blamed by the dems for being successful and at the same time having to pay for all their wish lists in the cities. What I save in taxes - income, property, sales - in the first year will pay for the move.

Woohoo! We put an offer in on a house in Windham, New Hampshire yesterday and it got accepted today! It will take a few months for the transaction to work it's way through the process but I expect to be an ex-NJ resident by the end of July. Beyond excited. Will miss some of the great things NJ offers but won't be sorry to leave.

With all the power equipment I see,if I ever paid for a "gasp" battery-powered mower, I think I'd have to kick my OWN ass. Not to be confused with a battery-powered electric start gas mower. Those are cool...

If I added it up I'd have to 'fess up to it. Better to claim ignorance and change the subject. Look! A Squirrel!

I don't specifically hide anything from Mrs. Mustang - she just learned over the years not to ask - as have I. I'd show/tell her if she did but she knows that would probably just cause problems. Sometimes willful ignorance works best. Just like I have no clue how much her shoe collection is worth or why those two pairs of seemingly identical shoes in blue only match different outfits.

Has anyone else heard rumors of a slowdown? I have a couple of contacts that told me Murphy and his AG "requested" that applications be slow-walked through the process. Murphy can't order it but he can ask. Just wondering if anyone has seen any evidence of it.

report it to the insurance company you had at the time. that's your best chance to defend it.

Local PD will often call NJSP with questions, it happens all the time. As others have mentioned, local PD is in complete control in this situation. They could approve you but seem to want to make things difficult. When things don't make sense it's usually a sign that someone is deliberately making it hard. You could try a call to the mayor and see how he/she feels, but that would be your final call before the lawyer route. There is no downside to the local Chief in denying you. He has his excuse - your mental health records. Best case, you go away. Worst case, you lawyer up and take it to court where he's overruled. Either way, his life doesn't change. He probably couldn't care less if the the judge grants you a P2P. And I don't believe for an instant the lawer's letter to the Chief will do a thing. At that point it's up to the judge.

I believe he's who we have to thank for OGAM. He's a political hack that went into a private position at a politically connected firm and, like any other cancer, he's back.

I had been trying to get in for years, but now that it's opening up I'm in the process of moving so it doesn't make sense for me to join. Damn

You know, timing is everything. Just sold a John Deere x360 with the powerflow bagger setup. I'll keep my eyes out for something. Best chance will be if someone trades something in. Are you handy? I know of a Kubota 4wd diesel with a mower deck and plow setup that would do whatever you need - but it needs a clutch. Could probably get it for $1200. I think it's a model 2120 but not sure, was used by a school (I think) and traded in when the clutch went. A bit worn, but for someone that wants something like this and can fix it, it's good deal. Let me know if you're interested and I'll send you the contact info for it. You can talk to him directly but he may want me to "broker" the sale for reasons I can explain later. Nothing shady, just a non-compete issue.

Kip is only interested in keeping his seat, and his district is becoming more blue every day. He could care less about your/my gun rights. The last time I saw Kip was at the Heritage Guild in Branchburg. No idea why he was there but chatted with him for a few minutes in the gun room. At the time I thought it was a good sign. Now? Not so much...

The only difference between the OP and me is, I've never been able to get my wife of 30 years to the range. Not once. She doesn't mind that I go, thinks it's great I have something to do one-on-one with the kids, but has no interest in shooting. Oh, and I've never told her how much I've spent on handguns and she's never seen the inside of the safe. She doesn't want to know either. What's the old joke? "My biggest fear when I die is my wife will sell my guns for what I told her I paid." My household version of "Don't Ask, Don't Tell"...

A couple of my recent wheelgun purchases - model 27-2 and 629-2 in the presentation cases. Love them N frames

I'd be very quiet about it. Officially, the executor of the estate is responsible for asset distribution. Without a will there may be something where the state assigns an executor. In NJ who knows how that would work out.

I'll be the contrarian here - I've always had a good experience at Heritage Guild, both Easton and Branchburg, as long as my expectations were reasonable. Going on a holiday weekend and expecting to shoot without waiting isn't realistic IMO. Every gun I've bought through HG I had a choice on the price - if it was too high I went elsewhere but that has only happened once. Most times the prices, especially for used handguns, are more than fair. I've gotten some absolute steals there. Maybe it's me. I always found it worth the time to build a relationship. I know Matt, he'll bend over backwards to make things right if given the chance. His employees aren't perfect, none of us are, but he'll stand behind his business.

Did one of the Avengers just become a member of the Mod Squad?

Just remember, a dealer makes money on every step in the transaction - sale, finance, extra warranties, etc, so you need to treat it the same way. Realize that the dealer gets their money up front regardless of how you pay - cash or finance, but they probably get a referral fee to the finance company. Negotiate a sales price without revealing how you'll pay for it. Just be ready to do the deal right then or walk away.
