Just one thing to be aware of in CT, they have a 10 round mag restriction. As a result I have to either get a 10 round mag for one of my guns to carry it in CT or only carry the gun with 10 rounds or less.

When I meant resist, I didn't mean shoot. I meant hide your guns so they don't know what you have. With a regular purchase from a dealer or private seller there is always the chance of a paper trail (COE and 4473 for dealer sales, COE for private sale, and 4473 for the original sale). With the 80% there is nothing. If you pay cash nobody knows what you have.

I have no idea what I am going to do. I can't move, at least not yet.

Difference is that NYC actually routinely does this.

She is and she won't stop. The real sad thing is that if we lived in a total ban place like DC we could get a PA LTCF. But because we live in may issue NJ we can't.

It may have merit if you want a truly untraceable gun, for the scenario where the Government wants to engage in mass door to door confiscation and you want to resist.

Truth is, nobody knows why they are denying cert on all these cases. The secrecy of the conferences is the stuff of legends. If the justices do not say publicly or privately to someone else and they blab, they will go with it to their graves. The most plausible theory is that there is at least one justice on the fence and the conservative wing wants to make sure they have five votes. This could be Kennedy as he is usually the swing vote. The liberal wing wants to kick the can down the road as much as possible until the court becomes liberal.

It's a good idea to take basic anyway as you shoot more varieties of different guns. You learn semi auto and revolvers. Most of us know how to shoot but for rank beginners it would be nice to get exposure to both. There were things I didn't know that I learned in the class. It made me a safer and dare I say better shooter.

Bryan miller parades around his Barrett .50 crying all over the place begging NJ to pass more gun laws. He rendered it inert by cutting it.

Possession of a homemade gun is not illegal in NJ. Manufacturing one in NJ without a license is. It's one of those weird loopholes. You don't need a COE or any paperwork which is the point of doing an 80% lower - if done right, you have a completely untraceable, legal gun.

Correct, they have CT specific classes at sig sauer academy which is not NRA basic, but CT accepts that training. The state's requirements are at least 8 hours with live fire. However, NRA basic fits the bill and is good for other states like FL, AZ, ME and NJ (whenever that happens). I tell people who want nonresident CCWs to just do NRA basic just in case they need the CT permit.

You deal with it by getting your butt out to the ballot box. Obviously the other side is better at doing that than we are. That is what needs to be fixed

It just takes longer now for everyone because they are swamped. You also need a pistol permit or eligibility certificate to buy ammo.

Out of state is actually easier than resident in CT. For resident you need a temp permit from your local selectman and often they delay and put up roadblocks. It should be noted that CT is May issue but acts more like shall issue.

But as we see with ares armor, the ATF thugs still raid them anyway and try to get the customer records.

True and NYC can deny you for petty stuff such as your driving record.

Peruta may be one such case because of the way California banned permitless open carry while the case was going on. It's also good because it deals purely with the application of the statute and not the law itself.

No because it would subject the court to political will. The judiciary has to be independent.

But what's the point? Even if you buy a serialized lower it's not registered anywhere. NJ has no registry for long guns that are not assault weapons.

Call DESPP special licensing and firearms unit at 860 685 8920 and ask for a packet. You need a permit from any other state first. For training they want the NRA basic pistol course. Follow their instructions. For the reason put "all lawful purposes". Permit arrives in a few months.

I will be there in July. DFW.

Well I carry an XDS so that's 7+1 anyway. nj Is not going to see 10 rounds until Steve Fulop becomes gov. CC will veto it for now. Even the liberal star ledger is saying the mag restriction is a bad idea .

A friend of mine in NY has one. However, he also is able to burn dried corn kernels in it. Depending on the price, he switches fuels. Sometimes pellets are cheaper, sometimes corn is cheaper.

My XDS was shipped back home but I missed the delivery. So I had to go all the way to Budd Lake to pick it up. They don't release without signature (which is understandable).

They are afraid that if they knock it down too far, it won't withstand a court challenge and the whole thing will come crashing down.
