  1. They can ignore the laws that make sense, while we have to follow the laws that don't.....how is that fair? What the hell is wrong with this state? I grew up thinking NJ was part of America where people are free. So much for liberty. *smh*
  2. I hope so, too. Especially those cops. How dare they treat an American citizen like this? Land of the free, for crying out loud. New rule: cops who don't know the law about guns aren't allowed to arrest people for violating gun laws.... by definition, THEY DON'T KNOW WHETHER A CRIME IS COMMITTED OR NOT. This police state is really scaring me
  3. Or pistols, as Archie Bunker suggested
  4. So refreshing to see Carroll tear Stender apart!
  5. "High capacity toaster" sounds like something out of Kids Next Door (uh oh, my young age is showing....)
  6. +1 for the Beretta 92. Feels good in large hands (like mine) and lots of parts/mags etc. because it's our military's standard issue pistol. Also I happen to like the DA/SA and the manual safety/decocker.
  7. Count me in, too. It's easier to live with checking the box for life if we know we're all in it together to make a change.
  8. As we all know, "appeasing the neighbor" does not make it okay to violate constitutional rights. If I carry openly in my backyard (fenced at the property line) and my neighbor sees a gun on my hip she might call the cops because "ZOMG it's a gun!"...but that doesn't mean a cop can show up and come inside my house or even ask to see FPID because it's my private property. Others have said it: the presence of a firearm on private land does NOT constitute probable cause for a search. Officer safety be damned, this is private property.
  9. Sorry, I misremembered the details.... The $20,000 cap is for couples filing jointly. If single, the cap is $10,000. My apologies, will correct above post. Cite: See NJ-1040 instructions, page 6 and page 28 www.state.nj.us/treasury/taxation/pdf/current/1040i.pdf Page 28: "If you were a New Jersey resident for the entire year and your Gross Income on Line 28 is $20,000 or less ($10,000 if filing status is single or married/CU partner, filing separate return), you have no tax liability to New Jersey and no return must be filed. If you are filing a return only to obtain a refund of taxes withheld or estimated payments made, do not complete Lines 29 through 44. Continue completing the return with Line 45. See instructions on page 36" So if your income is low enough (mine is), you owe no tax but they still let you file a return to get your money back.
  10. Wishing them the best in their fight. As others have said, our fate is tied to theirs.
  11. Let me add how awesome it felt to just walk into a store and buy ammo off a shelf like an American instead of waiting 15 minutes for some guy to unlock the case. Can't imagine how good it must feel to open carry there like a free man, but I don't have the stones to do that before taking a combat pistol class.
  12. This past Saturday I went to a Dick's near Whitehall, PA and they had plenty of 12g and 20g shells. Literally hundreds of boxes and thousands of shells on their shelf. Prices varied a great deal based on brand/quality as you normally expect. The only $1/shell I saw was for some real premium steel shot. They also had some 16g and 10g, as well as a little .30-06 and some other rifle calibers I didn't recognize. Of course, the only handgun ammo they had was like 2 boxes of .40S&W but whatevs.
  13. This is correct. I've filed my own taxes a few times, and everything you buy (even if it's used) is technically subject to "use tax." Even if you buy it in another state with 5% tax rate, you're supposed to come back and give the remaining 2% to NJ just because. Of course, they have virtually no way of enforcing this so usually people don't worry about it. Also, if your income is less than $20,000 $10,000 a year then you owe nothing to NJ so use tax doesn't apply (this applies to me as a college student dependent on parents. For couples filing jointly, the cut-off is $20,000.)
  14. Thank you for your service.
  15. Hi guys, Found 10 round magazines for the Beretta 92 series at Cheaper Than Dirt, only $22.85: http://www.cheaperthandirt.com/product/9-42921 I ordered four in case the worst happens. Thought some of you might like to do the same. Good luck everyone. Pythagoras
  16. I'm a complete noob about Mosins, what does counterbore mean in this context?
  17. My favorite part: AR15: Finicky when dirty. AK47: Still works when dirty. Mosin-Nagant: Arrives Dirty from the Distributor.
  18. I've been hankering for a 1911 for a while and decided the new legislation is the universe's way of telling me to finally jump on it. It helped to have a spare permit sitting around.
  19. Love watching him. Wish I could get a job as his apprentice or something!
  20. Wow, that is a stand up company. Will definitely support them in future.
  21. Yeah it was pretty slow. At 9:30 I found myself thinking "is it really halfway over? Nothing happened yet!"
  22. I agree that in the short term our best chance is unseating him with a primary, but I would ideally like to see collaboration between the 2A community and the libertarians since they agree on guns . In the long term, we need to get rid of the statist complacency because otherwise the next anti-2A politician can just pull the same crap that they're doing now.
