The long one was probably due to paper work either getting lost and having to be resent or falling under other paperwork.

I like your rant, probably could not have done it better myself. I had not touched a gun since I was about 14 years old. Used to shoot .22 bolt action rifles in summer camp but that is about it. When someone tells me I can't have something it obviously makes me want it. Well that is how I joined the gun club. After Sandy hook and Super Story Sandy I decided if I was ever going to do it now is the time. A few months later I am now waiting out OGAM so I can run the nics on gun #4 Oh and like born again religious people I think some of us new ones are the most vocal about protecting our rights. I have been to Trenton and other local meetings and write letters all the time.

Thanks for the support in countering her letter. I think we need to share letters like that one more often so we can actively refute some of their trash talking.

Mine did not have much of the copper lube, so I just cleaned it after first use. I use Ballistol and clean it every time I use it. Do you have a compact mag in it or do you use an extended mag? I just find it strange to shoot with my pinky finger hanging in mid air.

It is very possible that will happen, when you convert all the sheeple to start voting republican.

I agree 100% the state should limit you only to the guns you need, with the understanding that you always need at lease one more than you currently have [No flames please -- this is intended as a joke]

Was going to say what the heck did you buy a baby Glock for, as you can't carry one in NJ - but then I saw you are not in NJ - Lucky you. I used to live in Wilmington many years ago, but my Glock is a full size G22 as I might as well have the big boy so the bad guy can clearly see it. (actually worked down in your neck of the woods in Del. City)

Then they will make you sit there (in cuffs?) as they wait for a warrant. They will then give you the option to open it, if you don't comply the locksmith, chainsaw or explosives will arrive.

Don't sweat it Troy, the laws are so convoluted that even though I was "sure" I was right you had me doubting myself.

Troy, how is that illegal? If you wanted to sell your Berretta I could get a p2p and we could arrange a private sale. How is what I am saying any different, except that I put the FFL in there which under current law is not even needed for a private sale. I was suggesting a fully legal private transfer with all required permits.

Alison knows. I am not sure I would call her pro-2A but I would call her fair and balanced. I heard her speak at a program she organized at the Morris County Library at which I spoke.

The only way you can do this would be if there is a gun you really really want now and don't think it will last is have him buy it. Then you could get your own p2p and go to an FFL when you get it and have him transfer (sell) it to you with your own nics check.

A local Morristown council woman has been very busy attacking our rights as an anti-gun lawmaker. She actively attacks us any chance she can. She spoken at least once in Trenton on May 2nd and maybe other times. The other day she had the following letter published in the Daily Record: "Gun control must also address ammo capacity" You can find it at: http://www.dailyrecord.com/article/20130521/NJOPINION02/305210006/Gun-control-must-also-address-ammo-capacity?nclick_check=1 I have posted a rebuttal online, but it would be great if lots of folks here did the same and really slammed her. Thanks for your help!!!

I bought a new 686+ 4" a month ago for $729 which is not a bad price from what I have seen. Its hard to find these guns. I know someone that "bought" one for about $75 less a month before I got mine, but he has yet to see it. Its easy to get a good price from a dealer that does not actually have one to sell Bottom line is if you want it now you are going to pay a premium, law of supply and demand.

I've got a much better idea -stop wasting money on road paving. We all know how much money the state wastes on road paving. They use the cheapest (mafia controlled?) labor and the cheapest materials and as soon as they are done paving it is time to start again because the roads don't last. Stop going the low bid route and we will save lots of money. In many other countries the contractor is responsible for road maintenance for a set period of time. By doing this you end up with the lowest life-cycle cost for the road, rather than cheap installation that costs huge bucks to maintain.

Reworded it to cut it down to the required word counts and sent it to both the Star Ledger and Daily Record. If anyone sees it printed please let me know.

Hey I wish I only had to wait 18 days, you are lucky in this stupid state. You are not impacted by OGAM, which is sort of like the alternative minimum tax which hits some folks. OGAM stands for one gun a month. I just bought a gun Saturday and have to wait till June 13th still I can even start the NICS process as that will be 31 days from my last purchase. NJ sucks!

Cold Steel - thought I was going to have to do that a few minutes ago when the propulsion on my mower stopped working, but it was quick reconnect of a cable that came loose. Cowboy - glad to hear you like it so much. As I said this was just an impulse buy. I really did not know anything about it. Another guy was looking at it and I just said to myself wow that looks neat. When he passed on it I asked to see it and the feel was just amazing. So, I yanked out the well worn AmEx card. The only bad thing is the stupid laws in NJ. Thanks to our friend OGAM I can't even run nics till June 13, so the way nics are I don't think I will be able to take this baby home until after July 4th.

That sounds like fun, BUT not on a Saturday!!!!

I typically go to the range during the week, as it is much less crowded. I have visited four times on Saturday, and have found it a very dangerous activity and highly advise against it. On three of those four occasions I ended up making impulse gun purchases This is what happened this Saturday:

Well that is one heck of a definition, even worse than reasonable deviation. What does "a quantity of ammunition which may be used to discharge such firearm" mean? Can't just one round be used to discharge a weapon? Does this mean if you have an empty weapon in a locked case and a separate locked case with one round that fits that weapon that you are in possession of a loaded weapon?

Got it in an email from a friend, don't know original source.

I always do that, don't you?

When you stand before a jury you are rolling the dice. They can do whatever they want no matter how the judge instructs them. They often make decisions on how much they like or dislike the defendant. A jury does not have to justify their decisions. You do as you want, I don't want to do things that needlessly place myself at risk. Sure the odds of anything bad happening are small, but if there is no real value in taking those actions then why do it.

Exactly the point!
