While signing can't hurt (I signed) it is likely to do nothing. What is needed is to get a reporter or debate moderator to ask Christie (put him on the spot) why if he claims he is pro second amendment he does not do something in his home state to allow lawful citizens to carry. He needs to either be pushed that way, or proven to be a hypocrite. That is the only way to get him to take action.

They just offer high visibility in light. They do crack and break, but it is very easy to insert a new piece of fiber. Dawson has a good video of how to do it on their site.

I never understood what they hoped to do but catch very stupid criminals with this. Why not just buy an aftermarket barrel and change the extractor and firing pin and then their database would have been totally worthless anyway.

I must admit that I missed that comment, I am kind of surprised he would make such a big deal of something that he overheard.

Did not hear that, but not like him to spread rumors

I know the MD and find it hard to believe he would take time during the match briefing to make something up or report something that maybe did not happen two years ago.

I don't know the entire story, but the MD at today's USPSA match at Shongum announced this. The way I understand it (I could have gotten some of it wrong) a master level shooter was returning from a match when his car needed a tow. The cops on the scene had him get his personal belongings from the trunk when they noticed his gun belt with mags. They asked him to load the mags, and when the 16th round went in they arrested him. If anyone has more info on this please share.

Well if you are using it as a range toy then it may not be an issue. However, if you are using it for self defense or competition the grip is too large if you have large hands and you will find that you have to change your grip (which means time) to reach the magazine release button.

Exactly. As I stated from 10 years of real world experience the attic stays cooler in the summer with the panels. It does not matter that 100% may not be covered, as any covering reduces direct exposure to the sun and contact by driving rain. Sure the other side (North side) of the roof is no protected, but if you had to repair or replace that side you would not have to remove panels. There have been several news expose' shows on these contracts and they can be a big headache or financial disaster for the home owner. As I mentioned you are agreeing to pay them a set amount a month for the power the system is to produce. The problem is often times these contracts are sold to third parties. When the system stops producing you have to go back to the original party for repairs, and they could even be out of business, yet you still owe monthly payments to someone else and they could care less if the system actually works. Just like mortgages being sold. Further, if you go to sell your home you have to get that party to take over your contract, and they may just decide to buy the house up the block rather than do that. Thus, your house with a rented system is worth less than a house without them while your house with an owned system is worth more.

Well I shoot their 9mm 147 grain new ammo all the time with no problems. I cannot comment on what Alec said as I may or may not have had a problem with reman and may or may not have signed an agreement to not discuss such things. But I believe there is a thread here about a problem that might have occurred before I did or did not agree to not discuss such things. While you may find cheaper 115 or 124 grain, I have yet to find anyone beat their prices on good quality 147 gr. There was a post here recently about some cheap 147 it turned out to be super hot ammo coming in with a power factor of around 144. When I have chrono'd the 147 it always comes in between 128 and 131, and is usually very consistent box to box. As others have said wait till the have free or $5 shipping and stock up. The ammo fairy just brought me 2,000 with free shipping today.

It's not even that everyone knows NYC is a gun free slum, it's that he would have traveled through two states other than PA to get there. As a carry permit holder you are responsible for knowing the laws if you try to use your permit out of state. It is one thing to accidentally cross out of the state, it is another thing to drive 100 miles out of the state.

No, you are totally missing my point. While I agree with you concept that one should be allowed to carry in Times Square, that has nothing to do with current laws. The law says he cannot carry in NJ. I used Times Square as an example because for someone to go from PA to that point they traveled clear across NJ and into another state - that clearly shows they either intentionally violated laws or are too stupid to obey the law. To just accidentally cross perhaps an unmarked change of state is another issue. He should be fined, that is it.

OP said at one point he has smaller hands, thus he should probably avoid a 92FS as you have to have huge gorilla hands for that gun.

I can't believe the people that are attacking a guy for making a mistake. It's one thing to bring a gun to Times Square in NYC, it's quite another to just barely bring it over the border. To be guilty of a crime there should be intent to break a law, not just an accidental transgression. There are many places where you can cross from one state to another and not know it. There are other cases, like on highways and bridge approaches where you may have missed a small sign and are forced across a state line. The problem is that in communist New Jermany they prosecute honest citizens that make a technical mistake and plea bargain with criminals that break laws with intent. This needs to change.

Why does that mean Federal involvement? Driver's licenses are administered by individual states only, but are honored in all 50 states.

http://www.nj.com/burlington/index.ssf/2015/11/pa_man_jailed_for_having_handgun_in_nj_without_pro.html A Pennsylvania man was arrested Sunday after city police found him in a vehicle with a loaded handgun placed between the front seats. While the man had a permit to carry said weapon in Pennsylvania, he didn't have the same privilege in the Garden State. Long passed time to have carry permits valid in all 50 states, just like driver's licenses.

I agree with those that say get a full size gun, after all even if you could carry, you have told us it is a range toy and an HD gun. Thus, why not get one that has a longer sight radius as you will be more accurate with it. That said if it is truly for HD use I would suggest a Glock, either a G17 or even a G34. They always go bank when you want and are easy to work on. If you want something metal the CZ75B is a great option as well, especially if you don't have large hands.

Take the US government to buy high and sell low, no problem they can just raise taxes

Put a fiber optic sight (Dawson) on the gun.

What is your basis for not agreeing that the panels protect the roof? The area of the roof that is covered with the panels does not receive UV radiation and do not have snow and rain pounding on it and wearing it out. The area under the panels stays cooler than without them. I have used my IR thermometer in the attic and measured the temperature of the underside of the roof in the summer both where the panels are and area adjacent where they are not, the covered area is about 15 degrees cooler than the uncovered area.

Because it is a good skill to master as you never know when you might need to use it.

If it is a range toy then who the hell cares about mag capacity? You should learn how to quickly reload anyway.

Keep in mind that while many of these cameras take great snapshots, they have a significant limit. While great for posting to the web, you really cannot make very large prints from them. That may not be an issue for many people, but it is something to consider. I have many 20" by 30" prints in my home from images I have taken with my DSLRs, and even have one that is 3ft by 4ft.

I have had a 10kw solar array on my roof for almost 10 years. They can be a great investment, but I would urge you to avoid outfits like Solarcity or any of the companies that put these things in for "free". Read the fine print, better yet have a lawyer read the fine print. Many of these contracts are designed to screw you big time even though they sound great. The way many of these work is that you agree to buy electricity from them at a discounted rate for 10, 20 or even 30 years. The monthly payment is typically fixed, and the contracts say they will do any maintenance or repairs. The problem is that even if the system is down you pay them. Further, just like mortgages these contracts can be sold. So, the company may go out of business and the system may stop working but you are still on the hook to some third party for your monthly payment with no recourse. Further, it may be difficult or impossible to sell your home in the future as you need to find a buyer that will take over your contract. Just be very careful. That said, I think you are better off just finding a contractor to put one in for you and finance it yourself. The problem with all these things is they rely on energy credits to provide most of the return. A 10kw system on average generates about 1,000 KWH per month on an annual basis. If you figure about 15 cents per kwh you will save roughly $1,800 on the basis of the electricity produced. Actual savings will be lower as any excess is purchased by the utility at their wholesale price and any you buy at night is at retail pricing. The real payback comes from the SRECs, and who knows how long they will last or what their price will be. They just started when I put mine in 10 years ago and were about $200 a MW, so a 10kw system earned me about $2,400 a year in credits. At one point they went up to over $600 a credit, then dropped to about $100 and are now around $225 or so. Systems were much more expensive when I installed mine than they are today, but their was a NJ clean energy credit of 70% of the cost of the system back then. As for the roof, there is no need for anything to be done inside the attic. You should have a nearly new roof, or install a roof at the same time as you install the system so that you don't have to worry about it wearing out during the life of the system. Also if you have two layers of shingles you will not be able to install a system without first putting just a single layer of shingles on the roof. The good news is the panels actually protect the roof from wear from rain hitting it and from UV. It also keeps your attic a little cooler as the sun hits the panels not directly on the roof. As for batteries, forgetaboutit. It is more cost effective to just install a natural gas generator in addition to the solar. But the good news is there are now some inverters (Sunnyboy and perhaps others make them) that will give you an electrical outlet directly off the inverter that will provide some power during an outage to that outlet when the grid is down.
