Educate me on 9mm CZ's
I'm an RO and SO, and I have never seen anyone have one go off accidently decocking it - but anything is possible. There are a lot worse things than that which I have seen. Although I will tell you I did freak out a new RO one day when I manually decocked mine as he had never seen anyone do it and he was ready to stop me.

Educate me on 9mm CZ's
The CZ-75B is a nice gun for IDPA. It comes in a model with a safety, so you can shoot it cocked and locked in ESP OR manually decock it and shoot it in SSP as well. They are fairly inexpensive and you can do a lot of customer work on them. BTW those are two of mine below:

So, is this large caliber gun Jersey Legal :)
Nerf kicks off a 70mph gun series with detachable mags Goodbye old- school foam darts, Nerf’s new Rival line of motorized blasters shoot golf-ball inspired rounds at over 100 fps. Advertised as being geared towards ages 14 and up, the company’s Rival series includes the $50 Zeus MXV-100 with a 12 shot magazine (that the Nerf engineer insists on calling a clip repeatedly in the video above) while the smaller $30 Apollo XV-700 spring-loader brings seven shots to the party. Interestingly, both have tactical rails and a loaded chamber indicator. Where was this stuff at when we were kids? https://youtu.be/JBZbbaJWxvE

9mm subsonic
I've had many people ask me what I am shooting when I shoot indoor matches as it definitely has a different sound than typical 115 or 124 grain ammo due to it being subsonic

9mm subsonic
I use it as well but I am not sure about your analysis. You do indeed get less muzzle flip and that helps you get the sights back on target faster; But, I believe the slide also cycles slower which may actually negate some of that advantage. I just like the way it feels. Be careful for competition as I have seen some 147 offered recently that only makes 115 power factor.

Beretta help..
This can't be Jersey legal. There MUST be some law against two guns in one case

Difference in laws unbelievable
If you are a legal citizen in New Jersey and get caught carrying a gun without a permit we all know you are in for a world of hurt. I just heard an interview with the police chief from Milwaukee and he explained that they problem they have there is that illegal possession is just a misdemeanor. Thugs in the hood are much more afraid of being caught without their legal gun in the hood than being picked up by the Po Po with the same gun. Unbelievable.

Why has .40S&W become so inexpensive?
Wasn't there a recent FBI study that said law enforcement was better off using 9mm rather than .40 cal which has gotten many departments to switch thus placing a big drop in demand for .40 cal?

Video camera recommendations
If you want to keep it very simple they make zoom lenses you can attach to your cellphone and they great shots. Maybe not as good as some expensive cameras, but still much better than the full size VHS cameras we used when my kids were little. I am actually shocked at how good the video is on my iPhone 6+ when I have people use it to film me at shooting matches. You can even have it run at 240fps for slow playback.

Somerset IDPA - Can you just go to watch?
I have seen people go and watch, but why not just jump in - watching is boring. If you feel confident that you can safely draw from a holster then you should just shoot it. Go slow and be careful and don't expect to win - just have fun and learn. Everyone there will be more than willing to help you, just let people know you are new to this.

2 members of Virginia TV news crew shot dead during live broadcast
Looks like it was a Glock, but since they are fairly common and cheapish one would expect this. I saw the first person video he shot and it was well done, very good perspective even if it forced him to shoot strong hand only (I know my bad). So where is POTUS screaming about this racist act? Where is race baiter Al Sharpton condemning this? Where are the folks from White Lives Matter protesting?????

Looks Like Another Bloodbath
Why? Markets go up and down and a managed pension fund should be diversified and able to weather the ups and downs of the market. While the market is down right now, it is up a good bit from where it was two years ago. Relax.

Slain gun instructor's family wants law to ban children from automatic weapons

Hypothetical Transport Scenario (because I know you love these).
And THAT is just one example of how screwed up this state is. So, it may be legal to walk 100 yards with a gun; but it may be illegal to walk 700 yards with a gun. Why is the ACLU not all over this? How can poor people in the inner cities get to a gun range with their guns if they cannot walk? Even if they don't walk the entire way they may have to walk a half mile or more to get to a bus stop. Or is this discriminatory law saying they have to call a taxi (if one will come) to pick them up at a high cost. They can't even use Uber now that it has declared it's cars to be gunfree zones.

Hypothetical Transport Scenario (because I know you love these).
Not sure I agree with that one. If that were true then it would not be possible for many gun shops that exist to do business in New Jersey. Take for example the gun shop, like one in Hackettstown, that are located on a city street with no private parking lot. The only way to get there or leave there is on foot. So even if you found a parking spot one block away you will be walking on the sidewalk with your gun that you just bought or one you are bringing in to sell or have repaired. I would assume since you have it in a locked case you should be fine. But since I don't play a lawyer on TV and have not stayed at a HolidayInn Express in quite some time, who knows.

Gun violence in NJ, who would have thought :)
Yes, it's called sarcasm

Gun violence in NJ, who would have thought :)
Nah, that is the beauty of the gunfreezone signs, you don't have to both with the murder, armed robbery and drive-by stuff being illegal, the gunfreezone covers all that. Simplicity at it's finest.

Gun violence in NJ, who would have thought :)
OK, the solution was proposed when I posted this on Facebook. The poster suggested an easy fix, declare these cities to be official GunFreeZones. That will solve the problem once and for all, as we all know no one with a gun would dare enter these areas for fear of offending the sign

Gun violence in NJ, who would have thought :)
New Jersey has a major gun problem, and we need the legislators and police to address it. According to numbers in today's Wall Street Journal 31% of all shooting in NJ, along with 34% of all shooting murders and 33% of all shooting victims happen in one town. That town - Newark! That town represents just over 3% of the state's population yet is responsible for roughly 1/3rd of all gun violence!!! Just think what a big impact on gun violence we could achieve if the Democrats in Trenton actually did something to crack down on this. Imagine if they also cracked down on their own town, Camden, Irvington and Paterson - Heck if they did that there would be almost no shootings what-so-ever in the People's Republic of New Jermany! It's even worse when you look at the five cities together, 10% of the population is responsible for roughly 2/3rds of the gun problem! NJ Newark Jersey city Paterson Trenton Camden "5 Towns" % Total Population ----> 8,900,000 281,000 262,000 147,000 84,000 77,000 851,000 9.56% Shooting incidents 520 161 40 29 60 59 349 67.12% Shooting murders 130 44 8 7 9 12 80 61.54% Shooting victims 618 202 56 37 65 70 430 69.58%
