It still sounds like both of them could have avoided it. I wish him the best of luck in his defense though. That said, that could have happened to me as a civilian and in Maryland I would be without a weapon and probably dead.

Yeah I was about to say that. But you'll have to wait until he passes away to take possession. The upside is that there will be NO record whatsoever of you owning the firearm.

Looks like a Mazda 3.

I've been in one serious road rage incident. I had to call Wayne PD and the minute they arrived he scattered.

Escalated road rage NEVER ENDS WELL. Don't escalate it at all. You might feel like someone cut your private parts off and then stomped on it but just ignore and go on. If it gets bad, roll your windows up, keep driving if possible and CALL 911.

The thing about the NJ law, what Nappen was saying is that the law references ammunition, not cartridges, so this is why even an inert round would be illegal.

Don't put it in a gun case. Put it in a guitar case.

I know Spanish to a good degree to be conversational. I started learning German. THroughout Europe, apart from English it's a fairly common language. I would have liked to learn Hindi. Helps with indian food ordering because they almost never talk to me in English until I stop them and tell them talk to me in English.

Thank you raz-0.

That makes sense. Why I bring it up is because NJ wants to ban .50cal which have rarely (never?) been used in a crime. But it still has the "weapon of war" stigma, right or wrong. Just like machine guns did before they were banned. So I was wondering if machine gun crime got out of control or they are just dismantling the 2A piece by piece.

I've been on Facebook since 2005. I've been on it often. I've also been interviewed by the company to work there. Twice. So yes I am a "Facebook person." That said I DO NOT post anything about work on FB. Can of worms.

Simple question. Were people going around and shooting up using machine guns in the United States? Or was this a bone thrown to the antis?

Yeah, good luck with that and parents not suing for lead exposure.

Nice!!

I just did the class last week with GFH and they mail it out so I think I still have a good bit of wait to go. Oh well open carry isn't too bad...

Really? I'd like to hear that story.

Reminder: Florida non res becomes invalid in PA tomorrow except for vehicle carry. Hopefully Utah will hurry up and issue my permit.

Why aren't any mayors of sanctuary cities ever arrested?

Mipafox, how many times do I have to tell you that MD lost all of their appeals except for SCOTUS? You really don't know how it works, do you? Let me spell it out for you. The next stop for MD is the SCOTUS and the decision there applies to all the states. Period.

Heller is about the right to keep and bear arms inside the home in Federal enclaves (eg. DC). McDonald v Chicago was about whether it applied to the states. The question left open was whether that applies outside of the home. That was not answered in Heller or McDonald. Moore v Madigan (the Illinois case) was where they found that it extended outside the home but that is a circuit case and it struck down a total ban like Illinois. Discretionary issue is tricky because Maryland doesn't have de-facto no issue like NJ. If you carry around a lot of cash or checks (business currency) you can get a carry permit in MD. You can also carry around long guns in MD. This was in the orals but not in the written decision. But NJ is a different animal entirely. NJ says that we have discretionary may issue when in reality we have almost no issue. This was one of the key questions heard in the orals and why Judge Stark asked how many outside of LEO are issued and why supplemental briefs showing stats were filed. Absent judicial activism I think we have a good case against NJ. But in reality I think we'll lose 2-1.

The opinion if you are interested in reading: http://www.ca4.uscourts.gov/opinions/Published/121437.p.pdf En Banc was already denied.

I will for NJ but not for MD. MD won't get it unless it goes to SCOTUS or they have a brand new case. So MD is out for now unless they do it through legislation.

MD won't get it. Their case was already ruled and the circuit court of appeals upheld their discretionary may issue and reversed the district court. The only way for MD to get shall issue judicially is for the case to go to SCOTUS and if it goes to SCOTUS NJ will get it too. They have until 6/21 to petition. Likelihood is that the SCOTUS will deny cert like they did with Kachalsky (NY). Also, MD's argument was that they already allow people to carry long guns so they satisfy the 2A and heller. Here's a summary of the 2A cases in the circuit courts: http://www.comm2a.org/index.php/41-projects/current-projects/148-rtc-leaderboard

If the majority of guns come from out of state, why isn't the crime rate in those out of state places sky high?

You did that on purpose to annoy me didn't you
