First, welcome to the forum. By now, you got the point regarding NJ and our insane gun laws. Aside from that MAJOR issue, our property taxes are the highest in the nation, we have a state sales tax on almost anything you buy, a state income tax and housing costs that are off the charts. Both our home and auto insurance rates will probably shock you into a new dimension. All this and traffic on 95, 80, 287 and the "Garden State Parkway" can make the Santa Monica freeway look like a joy ride. If there was any way I could get my wife and kids to agree to leave AND find suitable work in my field, I would do so as fast as humanly possible. I am NJ born and raised and unfortunately, getting a bit long in the tooth.... Lets just say I will have a very tough time leaving everything and everyone behind, finding a new job and moving! You are already "free" and really need to understand the impact of the decision you have made to come to NJ. Your entire lifestyle will change and it will not be for the better. I wish you all the best regardless of what you do

This may be true but it is a very dangerous way to pass the "litmus test". NJSP has a policy to investigate 100% of NICS denials. This comes right out of Evan Nappen's book.

This is a clear market indicator of the oversupply that continues to build in both ammo and the AR platform. There is no longer time for the manufacturers to cut back, its already in the pipeline. They have tried to control prices by bringing them down slowly, but it's late in the game for that to work. More significant action is needed to bring the market back in balance. At some point prices must be cut further to entice buyers to clear out the backlog. We have seen some of this in Q1-Q2 this year. If prices don't drop significantly in Q3, we should see some fantastic "Best Friday" sales in Q4 as both manufacturers and dealers scramble to liquidate inventory and close the books on 2014.

I don't agree. Colorado already had the 15 round limit in place. http://www.newsweek.com/federal-judge-upholds-colorado-gun-laws-dismisses-lawsuit-256431

Understood, however if the court renders a favorable decision it will only apply to the specific circumstances presented in this case. I don't see how a favorable decision can help the rest of us as our circumstances and reasons for seeking a permit are all different. The only way I see this working is if the court knocks out the "justifiable need" clause. If that happens, I bet the AJ will appeal the decision to avoid issuing any permits and seeing the house of cards come tumbling down.

Welcome from Toms River.

Regardless of what CC decides, I believe it will not be announced until after the "ask the governor" event is behind him.

Thank you Ogfarmer, I am so sick of hearing "gun owners just don't vote" I could puke!!! Many of us on this Forum vote, send e-mails, letters and call our representatives including Chris Christie. As you can see by my address, I live in Toms River. We have good representatives and are trying to get one to the US Senate. As you stated, we cannot vote somewhere else, we have to vote in our district. It maintains the status quo but does nothing help other districts that need support. Jerrymandering at its finest.

Now THAT was funny Believe it or not, I used to deliver that POS paper on my bike every morning and the Jersey Journal in the afternoon.. I was growing up in Kearny at the time and can remember my father telling me the town was part of the "Hudson County Political cesspool". He hated the crooks, essentially all the politicians. That was about 50 years ago and I can remember it like it was yesterday......especially when it rains.

Damnam, Thank you for posting the FDR speech and video. I have not seen it before and found it both touching and indicitave of our strength. They were truly the greatest generation and my father was one of them. He passed in December last year so this is the first time I watched the events on TV without listening to his stories. I had a crappy draft number and was all set for the war in Vietnam but was not called as the "Nixon peace plan" was already pulling troops out.

Agreed, anything under 10 cents a round delivered is a good deal. Everyone waiting to "score" a ton of 22lr at pre 2013 prices will be waiting quite a while.

Thanks, grabbed one! Was this on one of your watch lists??

Ryan, Thank you for the update. Since following the SCOTUS threads on this forum, I can only conclude that the SCOTUS does not give a rats as_ about the 2A supporters in the State of New Jersey. Just another kick in the pants......

Alpo, Coldsolderjoint, Thanks to both of you for your input. I am going to do a bit of research on Mosins in general before I choose the grade and type I eventually buy.

Thanks Alpo, These rifles are priced great. I don't have any experience with this dealer, Classic Firearms. Do you think their B grade is good enough or should I go for one of the 139 "X - excellent grade" rifles? Both are tempting....... Thanks Tom

Welcome fellow TR dweller

Yes Stu, I have already seen the bad news and am not in denial.

I see nothing from the blog dated today - only April 28th. I'll wait for the SCOTUS orders before I cringe in pain.

Thanks....

would you please post the link that shows it denied? Thanks

Thanks for passing the sad news along. I knew him but not by name. I used to watch him shoot his 44mag revolver. He was always nice to me and I will miss him.
