It's nonsense that an airsoft gun is considered a firearm. This guy is getting the shaft. But...he's not the right guy to be our poster child. I really hope he gets off and if I'm on the jury he will, but rally behind this guy and there might be other surprises to come.

There should be penalties when a state violates a civil right. Otherwise, NJ will simply continue to ignore the Constitution and the Supreme Court whenever they wish.

Ballistic knives are probably illegal under the firearm laws. In NJ if it shoots a projectile by spring pressure and could injure someone, it's a firearm.

I HATE golf. Played twice. Chased that stupid ball all morning. But I'd play this..

Grew up on a nursery propagating trees. Golf Battery is right and he's still in the business. Fruit trees are bred to produce great fruit - not to be especially hardy. Grafting onto a hardy root stock gives the best of both varieties. However, I have rooted fruit trees for fun and it's worked. Take your cutting, I'd leave them about 4" long and strip the leaves to only have 2 leaves. Wound the base by slicing off a very thin narrow band of bark about 3/8 inch long on the cut end. dip the base in rooting hormone. place the cuttings in potting soil about 1" apart in rows. Keep the cuttings warm and damp. Always warm and damp. NEVER let them dry out. N.E.V.E.R. let them get dry! You can loose new cuttings in hours, maybe less, if they're left hot and dry. Transplant when they are 1 year old and keep the transplants well watered for several weeks until they are established. Keep the rabbits, deer, ground hogs, and mice away for the next 5 - 7 years. And you'll finally have fruit that is in every way inferior to what you can buy in the grocery store. Just sharing from personal experience.

Two parts of the law: 1) It's illegal to possess a dirk, dagger, or stiletto without a lawful purpose. 2) It's illegal to possess any kind of knife (or any weapon) with an unlawful purpose. So a dirk, dagger, or stiletto is illegal unless you have a lawful purpose for having one. All other knives are legal unless you have an unlawful purpose for having one. I'm not sure who decides if your knife is a dirk or not.

John Torelli in Millville has a good reputation. I haven't used him but several people I know have and everyone has been very pleased with his work. http://jtjersey.com/

Thanks, Dave. I'm going to try it with the heaver loads this weekend.

I just bought a used BP revolver. I have shot several BP rifles and own one. This is my first experience with a BP revolver and I can't find good information on how much powder to use. The revolver came in a box but the box was for a different revolver as was the manual that was included. The gun I bought is a Pietta and I'm pretty sure it's a 1858 New Model Army. I found the instruction manual online and the instruction manual says to use 12 to 15 grains of 3-fG powder. Here is my question: When I load the revolver with 15 grains of powder, there is a huge gap between the ball and powder. I did fill this area with tightly packed cotton and test fired it once but clearly there should not be this big space. Everything I've read on line says to load it with somewhere between 25 and 35 grains of powder - more than twice what the instruction manual says to use. Rather than do that and blow off my fingers, I though I would seek the wisdom of the group here. School me please.

I doubt that anyone is surprised. Unfortunately, most judges have forgotten that they are to judge according to the law and not bend the constitution to fit their personal beliefs.

One advantage to putting them down here is that 50% of people driving buy will understand and agree. Put them in Patterson or Hoboken and you'll be lucky to get 1% agreement. I'm still not sure what good it does if 50% of the people seeing this billboard say to themselves "hooray for us" as they drive by. There's no call to action. I agree - what now?

About 20 miles west of Cumberland Rifleman.

Saw this tonight on Rt. 49 on the eastern side of Bridgeton, Cumberland County. Wondering if ANJRPC has an actual plan to fight for the right to carry or if it's just a tactic to get us gun-loving southerners to join a shooting club we'd never actually drive too.

What happened to the lawsuit against New Hampshire? NH changed their law so that you had to have a permit from your home state to get a NH non resident permit. ANJRPC sued them saying it was unfair to those of us who live in no-issue states. I never heard any outcome.

I'm considering a Cobra derringer. I've held both the Cobra and the Bond Arms and the Bond Arms is a nicer gun. But the Cobra is inexpensive and that leaves more money for other guns. How bad is the Cobra quality? Will it last? Will I be really dissapointed? If you're not familiar, their guns are found here: http://www.cobrapistols.net/product-big-bore-derringers.asp

If the manufacturer offers a warranty to the end user, it starts when the end user receives the product. I've never seen a manufacturer's warranty that starts the day it's delivered to the supply house. They all start the day the product is put in use.

TX is the only state left that NJ residents can get to concealed carry in PA. There are other states who's non-resident permits are recognized but those states won't issue to NJ residents unless we first have a carry permit from our home state. The PA AG was in the process of re-negotiating all of the reciprocity agreements when she found herself in legal trouble. She might have gotten to TX but never did. Maybe TX was left alone because you have to actually travel to TX to get one and not many people will bother. The agreement made in 2005 is still the one listed on the PA AG's website. The memorandum of agreement can be read here: https://www.attorneygeneral.gov/uploadedFiles/MainSite/Content/Criminal/FirearmsReciprocity/Signed_Texas_Agreement.pdf

What magic happens in the first 60 rounds that won't happen in the next 5000? Piston rings will always ride in the same engine cylinder. It makes sense that they will wear to exactly fit the cylinder walls and there should be a break in period for an engine. But each bullet travels down the barrel one time. A bullet doesn't need a break in. The barrel will receive the same wear from 50 ten-shot groups as it will from just shooting 500 rounds. If there is abrasive material in the barrel, the barrel should be cleaned but that's not anything special to a break in period.

Had the chili dog today for lunch. Not bad. Not great but not bad. I'll have another one some day.

It's possible to vary the speed of an AC motor with a rheostat. What actually happens is the motor no longer runs at the "synchronous" speed matched to the 60 cycles-per-second electric that's powering them. Lower the available current (with a rheostat) and the motor will begin to slip or fall behind it's synchronous speed. This is common in AC fans. But it's terribly inefficient and causes the motors to run hotter than designed. VFD's are expensive. I'd go with a belt an pulley.

Got another picture of this little revolver with my largest revolver for size comparison. This is my new NAA Hogleg revolver with both the .22lr and .2mag cylinders and 6" barrel next to my Taurus Judge with 3" chamber and 3" barrel.

I use facebook to check the latest gun info on the old NJ2AS facebook page where I also post occasionally. I don't have any facebook "friends" and have never used it to keep up with family and friends. I use both facebook and twitter for my online business. I sell to a mostly teen and 20 something demographic and if you're not on social media, you don't exist. I'm in my mid 40's and I find it a chore to keep relevant on social media but it's how my customers want to interact with my company so I have to be there.

Very nice. Exactly what I was picturing. Did you paint the stock or was it already used?

I went through the drive through today to get my daily large diet coke. I saw the pictures. I'm a fan of a good chili dog but I figured they were probably not the chilli dogs I'd want to try. You've convinced me. I may get one tomorrow.

I'm probably starting to look for my first AR style rifle. I'm hoping somebody can point me toward what I want. I really like the look of the traditional M16 - fixed stock, tapered barrel shroud/forearm. Olive Drab furniture would be sweet but not necessary. I would love for it to be .5.56 but I could live with .223. I'd like to spend somewhere around $600 but I could go a little higher if needed. Does anybody make such a gun that's also jersey legal? I'm looking for something fully assembled instead of doing it myself. I'm sure I could build one from parts but every time I've DIY'd a project to save some money, it's cost me more money than if I just bought the thing.
