Anthony, is this what you're referencing on this weekend gun for hire radio episode

I was able to pick up Remmington UMC bulk (1000rd) from Dicks a month or so ago and that was 250. A couple weeks later they had 50rd boxes for 14.99. So that's $.25 and $.30 pre tax. I personally would refuse to pay much more than that.

If you have a iPhone I recommend the Waze app. It's social GPS so it'll give you a pretty decent idea of which route is best based on how many other people are sitting in traffic along the route.

That is one good looking 1911. Nice acquisition.

Sent in June 5th... Got the call today 6/11 Including a weekend

Everyone has the right to decide this for themselves but are we really worried about OT for these 5 days? The average LEO probably puts in 10-20hrs a week normally. And I'm not surprised a citizen found him and not a LEO for the simple fact that its statistically more likely. LEOs involved 2,000 let's say? Watertown, MA population - 31,915 Personally I would let them know the house was clear but would allow them to confirm in this situation should they request to.

Anyone shooting this Sunday have an M&P 9 they won't be using and willing to let me borrow any extra mags? Just joined up this past weekend and figure this is as good an event as any to get started on but haven't been able to find any extra mags. I have two so if anyone has 2-3 they'd be willing to loan me for the day I'd appreciate it. Shoot me a PM if you'll be there.

So.... Try to take him alive for questioning? Or take him out? I'm guessing he doesn't make it out but what do you think?

I'll give you that one. The only thing I keep next to my DL is a wad of FOP/PBA cards.

IMHO the hypotheticals being proposed in most of the threads about transport questions seem to be a little far fetched. I have never had a traffic violation (speeding/red light/etc) result in a question of "do you have any weapons in the vehicle?" Usually it's something along the lines of "why are you in such a hurry?" or "where are you coming from/heading?" To which I generally reply "On my way home from xxx town or on my way to xxx town." I see no need to volunteer that I was at a range. If you get to the point where you're being questioned about weapons in the vehicle my guess is its not a standard stop for minor violation. The only scenario I have seen where a LEO might discover your transporting is the one someone described about changing a flat tire with the trunk open and they spot it when they stop to help/divert traffic. At which point they should probably be more concerned with the tire wrench than the firearm.

My hope is that the tasteless comments are a result of people not knowing how to cope with an event of this nature. I don't want to criticize how people manage their feelings but everyone should go back and review their posts and see if they truly want their comments attributed to themselves after some reflection. With that said, for every coward behind an attack of this nature there are hundreds who rushed into the chaos to help. I send my sympathies to those who were injured and commend those who rushed to help before the smoke had even cleared.

Not in your current list of option but I went full size M&P 9. It just felt great in the hand and was able to get it for a good price. Only negative I have is the inability to find mags. That will definitely be a consideration for me on future purchases. Best of luck with the purchase!

For those suggesting range 14, don't you need to be a member to shoot there? Membership is cheap compared to other Ranges but something to consider if its a requirement.

How would they even know who to address the letter to in a large corporation? Do some of you give them your supervisors/HR name. Name of Employer: Company X Address: We're global with 50+ locations so I use the address of the office I work in Phone Number: the 800 number we use for employment verification. Even if they sent a letter it would never leave the mail room since its not addressed to anyone.

All I can say to this is WOW! That's what all PDs should be like. And a 6 week turn around is amazing compared to the horror stories you'll read in other threads. Welcome to the forums and good luck on the hunt for your 1911

I'd say all the LEOs opinions so far are fare enough. I keep my papers in the glove box but rescue tool/knife/flashlight in the center console for this exact reason. The last time I got pulled over I realized I have too much sh*t in my glove box to begin with. During a traffic stop I want to be done ASAP and digging through expired insurance cards and registrations just leads to extra hassle.

I'm assuming you mean the Home Depot in Kenilworth just off rt22? Apparently that's a police only range back there. This one is on Shunpike Rd in Springfield. If you've ever seen the public works lot on that road it's in that same complex all the way in the back.

You are correct... I was following up on my previous comment as it related to SUVs which is why I phrased it that way but you are right if its a lockable trunk.

Not a lawyer but... I read closed/fastened to mean not openly sliding around the trunk. Others will say that means it needs a lock but I disagree

Do you drive a Jeep Liberty by chance? I have that same compartment. But to answer your question, you're already going beyond what's required. I have a range bag with pistols in outside zipped pockets and ammo in center zippered pocket. 1 bag 3 compartments. Keep the ammo in the trunk, Not the passenger compartment. No need to over think it. You CAN do more but not required.

I actually just stopped in here Sunday to check it out and see if I wanted to join. It's probably good to note that it's only open to the public Sundays from 12:00-5:00 so it's probably more of a backup range. Also, it was LOUD in there. Not sure if its the indoor/outdoor setup or just the fact that the back wall is only 4ft behind you but make sure you have good plugs. Here's the link to the county page on it if interested... http://ucnj.org/government/sheriff/Pistol-Range

Give RTSP a call. I get their FB updates and they posted about getting a g19 gen 4 and 2 92fs (not sure about compact) yesterday. I've never made a purchase there so can't comment on pricing but worth a phone call

Did the last guy really get ready to take a f'n picture? These are the types of people who recently decided it was a better idea to take a picture of the man about to get hit by a subway train instead of trying to help. What is wrong with people these days. If I was the guy getting choked here I would have gotten up and shoved that camera phone up his ass.

I believe this is the article... http://www.nj.com/politics/index.ssf/2013/03/nj_supreme_court_police_cannot.html#incart_m-rpt-1

If he were anything like me he would have already had the iPad in the bathroom with him. I do some of my best NJGF reading on the can.
