Is brass legal?
I ALWAYS have spent brass bouncing around in the bed of my pickup. The tailgate makes a good bench rest and that's where the brass ends up. It's never been a problem for me. Of course I'm down here in the deep south...Jersey. If my bumper stickers aren't probable cause, I doubt that spent brass will be. Occasionally I venture out of the marshes and forest and into the big city. I wonder if I'll ever come out to find my truck in the parking garage surrounded by the swat team.

Allergy sufferers! Unite!
I was 40. Sitting in the Dr's office for some other ailment and he said "you're congested". I replied that I had had this cold for 2 months and it wouldn't go away. "It's not a cold, you have allergies." he said. "No, I don't have allergies". I explained. "Now you do". He said plainly. I thought you grew out of allergies not into them. It's not terrible. A lot of people have them worse than I do.

It's so Important for all Gun Owners to unite behind Trump and here is why
Maybe continuing to support a party that clearly is in it only to protect their own power and ability to become millionaires by selling votes is doing just that.

It's so Important for all Gun Owners to unite behind Trump and here is why
I'm not a Trump fan but I've resolved myself to the fact that I'm going to vote for him. Either he'll get the nomination and I'll vote for him over Hillary. or The GOP will ignore the will of the people and appoint their own candidate. In that case I'll vote for Trump's 3rd party run just to drive the final nail into the Republican party's coffin because they exist for their own power and money, not to represent me.

Carpenter Bee problem
Carpenter bee traps work. It's a 6" x 6" x 6" wooden box with a mason jar threaded into the bottom. The top of the box overhangs the sides by about an inch to make sort of a roof. A 3/8" hole is drilled in each of the 4 sides. Carpenter bees can't resist going into the holes and they fall into the mason jar where they can't get out. I've filled a mason jar in a few days.

Decided to try long, long range. Blew my 2016 budget in one shot...
Shot one once - it was a blast - no pun intended. Took a class at the range this weekend. Outside someone must have been shooting one because we could hear everybody shooting pop...pop...pop...KABOOM!...pop...pop.

Buckshot 100rds for $30 after MIR
Fine print says the $50 rebate is $25 National Spring Rebate and $25 tax rebate. Since I won't be paying $25 in sales tax, I wonder if it's just a $25 rebate for me.

Lots of Nose Hair
It seems that nose and ear hair have some connection to farting. The hair showed up the same time I started to fart when I sneezed. I always figured those two parts of my body would live completely separate lives but now they somehow coordinate their actions. I suspect the hair's involved somehow.

It's legal to pickup friends and go to the bathroom
So sad too because when Sweeney was only interested in being a senator from rural south jersey, he was pro gun. Proves that he's dishonest and will pretend to be whatever gets him elected.

It's legal to pickup friends and go to the bathroom
It won't be long before some prosecutor in NJ reads the jury the new "official" list of reasonable deviation "exemptions" approved by the AG and the judge won't allow the defense to mention the "other things" to the jury.

Now, there's a list of what is allowed. Be sure that EVERYTHING else will not be allowed.

What qualifies as a range?
In NJ a range must file it's charter with the NJSP and provide a list of it's members to the NJSP annually.

Threaded Barrel in NJ for Bolt Action?
Bullet button works in CA because CA law applies to magazines that can be removed "without tools". That's not something that shows up in NJ law. NJ law just says "detachable magazine". So a bullet button doesn't help here - it's still detachable even if it requires a tool. I'm not sure about a NY compliant stock. NJ law says "A pistol grip that protrudes conspicuously beneath the action of the weapon" is an evil feature. I guess it depends on the stock. I've seen lots of different types of pistols so I'm not even sure what a "pistol grip" is or what "conspicuously beneath" means and what part is the "action".

Genny conversion kit sale thru Sun.
For me, the advantage is only to have a backup if gasoline isn't available for a while. We lost power down here for a week a couple of summers ago. Since that storm, I keep several 5 gallon containers of gas in storage and could now run my generator for about a week if needed. But, I might need that gas for a vehicle too. During that storm, gas was hard to find for a couple of days. Far from a disaster but it made me realize how little gas supply we really have on hand at the gas stations if more can't be brought in. I've got a couple of huge propane re-filling stations near me that won't be as in demand as the gas stations.

Buying new: Online w/FFL Transfer or have dealer order?
Most dealers will do either. I've done it both ways. I've bought something odd online that my local dealer couldn't get and had it transfered and paid the transfer fee. I've also had a dealer order something odd. Both work. I have taken the online add into the dealer to show them what I want and asked if they can get close to the price. The FFL's I deal with are honest with me - that's why I use them. Usually, they can order the gun for less than I can buy it online and pay the transfer fee. Sometimes they've said the online price is below they're usual price but they'll match the online price. Sometimes they can't do it and they just tell me they can't match the price.

Do you need a handgun permit to by 22lr ammo?
However, many stores don't know the rules and may have their own mixed up way of doing things - especially the chain sports stores in NJ.

GWAC CAV 15 MKII
My concern would be the high stress points where steel pins are going to be applying stress in point locations to the polymer. I would like to see a steel or brass bushing molded into the poly in a few spots to spread out the stress. They may be fine as-is but I'd hate to find out in 10 years that a pin no longer fits because the poly is chipping or deforming after a few thousand rounds. As I said, they may be fine and I really like the look. But, I'll stay away until they have a few years exposure to the real world first.

Questions for NJSP Firearms Investigation Unit at NJ SAFE Conference
I want to know what guidance police officers are given concerning transport of firearms in NJ. The NJSP website (http://www.njsp.org/firearms/transport-firearm.shtml) says the following: "The firearm should not be directly accessible from the passenger compartment of the vehicle. If the vehicle does not have a compartment separate from the passenger compartment, the firearm and ammunition must be in a locked container other than the vehicle's glove compartment or console." I don't believe that's actually part of NJ law. Are NJSP officers told to make an arrest if my shotgun is cased, unloaded, but in the passenger compartment of my pickup with me? I believe transporting this way is legal. Will I be arrested anyway?

Folding gun, I want one
Since it's made to look like a cell phone, won't this be an NFA AOW (any other weapon) requiring an ATF stamp and CLEO sign off?

It will help us as much as Heller, McDonald, and the Bill of Rights has helped us.

Questions for NJSP Firearms Investigation Unit at NJ SAFE Conference
The court case that ruled police could ignore the 30 day statute really said that the clock started after the criminal background check was back from the fbi. Now, the background check is online and instant and NICS is instant. Will njsp be completing applications in 30 days?
