I own several Ruger guns and I like Rugers. I see one problem with this gun. The mag release is right where thumb is going to rest. I see they added a bump behind the mag release to keep my thumb away but I'm not sure it's going to work. I have the same problem with my LCP. The LCP is much smaller, so the problem might not be as bad but I have dropped the mag several times when firing the LCP.

Registration was the point of the OP's post!

<sarcasm> I now support registration. When one person does something bad with any sort of tool, everyone who did nothing wrong should have to register their tool. We'll call the agency that oversees the registration list something like the the Department of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Drones. </sarcasm> What right to you have? Apparently in Kentucky, you have the right to shoot the drone down if it's spying on your daughter. That's a policy I can support. But I don't support registration of the million drones that will never be used for spying on little girls. I believe that drones are a problem like mass shootings in schools are a problem. I did the math after Newtown, by my numbers, your child's school should expect an "active shooter event" once every 12,000 years. Elsewhere, I've seen "once every 16,000 years" reported. We should not spend millions (maybe billions) of dollars, millions of man hours, and scare school kids for something so unlikely to happen. As tragic as they are, active shooter events are simply so rare that they aren't even a tiny blip on the radar of things that can hurt kids. Want to save kids lives? Teach them to swim. One guy spying on some girl in Kentucky is not an epidemic. I don't need a national law that affects a million innocent people because of one event, or ten, or 100. And even if it was and epidemic, make spying illegal and prosecute the law breakers. Don't inconvenience the rest of us who never did and never will spy on little girls...or shoot up schools.

This drone thing is getting out of hand... nothing is getting out of hand. Nothing ever is getting out of hand. Once something is getting out of hand, somebody has to do something about it and that always means the people who aren't doing anything wrong can't do it any more. Repeat after me: Nothing is getting out of hand.

1. Won't hear a right to carry case - so lower court rulings preventing right to carry stand. 2. one party is pretending to be conservative because it's an election year. Once the election is over, they won't help us. 3. 3rd circuit already ruled that NJ's laws are just fine the way they are. 4. Can't act unilaterally.

1) The Statute, passed by the legislature, says you need "justifiable need" to get a carry permit. 2) In 1971, the courts defined justifiable need as requiring threats, danger, etc. 3) In 1991 (or was it 93?), the NJSP codified the standard the courts were already using by adding the definition of justifiable need to the administrative code. The AG oversees the entire department of law and public safety including the NJSP. NJ Statute gives the governor the authority to edit the administrative code by executive order. If he were to re-write the administrative code to include "self defense" as justifiable need, the code would be in conflict with the standard the courts have been using since 1971. However, the courts rely on the statutes first (where justifiable need is required but not defined) and when the statue isn't clear, the courts then turn to the administrative code. As I understand it, If the administrative code changed, the courts would have to follow it before following their own way of doing business or they would be violating their own rules. Of course, in NJ, courts do whatever they want.

If the garage is dry, you should be fine. A little heat in the safe makes a huge difference. In our shop, we have a big metal cabinet where we keep the welding rods. Welding rods absorb humidity and need to be kept dry. The shop is heated but no humiidity control and on a cool, wet day, the walls and floor are damp. We have a 60 watt light bulb installed in this cabinet. It's enough heat to keep the cabinet a few degrees warmer than the rest of the room and prevent condensation. I know some of the rods have been in that cabinet for more than 10 years, probably a lot more and all are as dry as the day the cans were opened.

Not if they get it into the right court. And years later, SCOTUS might decide not to hear the case - or worse, they'll hear it after Hillary appoints Obama to the bench.

Living in NJ changes the way we all think. In the rest of America, nobody says "hooray, it only took the police 2 weeks to approve my application to exercise a right." The worst part is that as long as we're content having our rights infringed a little less than the guy in the next town, we'll never do anything to regain our rights.

It sure seems that deals have been made that we aren't privileged to know about. Hopefully ANJRPC traded for something that helps us but I'm not expecting much.

A new law was passed in NJ 2 years ago that officially makes the list of ccw holders a secret list. Before that it was secret by policy. The NJSP firearms investigation unit maintains the list. The NJ AG did release the number of permits issued each year as part of a supplemental brief in the Pisczatowski case in the 3rd circuit. NJ claimed that it was a shall issue state because it approves more than 90% of applicants. The court asked to see the numbers. The brief is here. Statistics start on page 6. http://themaintenanceguy.com/gfimages/piszczatoski/Piszczatoski-Supplemental-Brief-of-NJ-AG.pdf

All you need is 500 people who will purchase the custom plate.

This is coordinated. The PA AG was supported by Bloomberg. The VA governor was. Just one more tactic to slowly erode rights and make having a firearm more difficult.

IT'S NOT BETTER! Just read the whole report. The whole report says that: NJ's laws have been around for a long time so they're probably okay. Although Heller v. DC would have struck them down, lower courts later disagreed with Heller so NJ's laws are okay. (When do lower courts get to reverse the supreme court?) We need to narrowly define "reasonable deviation" to make it more restrictive than it already is. Instead of requiring "specific threats or previous attacks" to get a carry permit, we should only require "serious threats, specific threats or previous attacks". (Huh?) This isn't a little better. Most is EXACTLY the same. "Justifiable need" gets two new words but works EXACTLY the same, and "reasonable deviation" gets more restrictive. I'm not thanking the governor!

Just read the whole report. What is ANJRPC talking about? The whole report says that: NJ's laws have been around for a long time so they're probably okay. Although Heller v. DC would have struck them down, lower courts later disagreed with Heller so NJ's laws are okay. (When do lower courts get to reverse the supreme court?) We need to narrowly define "reasonable deviation" to make it more restrictive than it already is. Instead of requiring "specific threats or previous attacks" to get a carry permit, we should only require "serious threats, specific threats or previous attacks". (Huh?) With ANJRPC wanting us to thank Christie and NJOA campaigning for Sweeney the enemy is among us.

I remember the 80's. Tons and tons of surplus equipment from Vietnam showed up at gun shows. Brand new military surplus boots for $15 per pair. I've still got a couple of the big green canvas duffles and I still use them when I travel. Real military wool blankets for a few dollars. I've even got a pup tent that came in two halves made of heavy canvas. There weren't any guns coming back but there was lots of interesting surplus stuff. Every town had an "army navy" store that was filled with real army and navy stuff. Today army navy stores sell Cartharts and discount blue jeans. I'm not sure what happened to all the surplus stuff from Iraq in the 90's through today but it's not making it to the civilian market. That's made gun shows less interesting to me.

This isn't the America I thought I knew. This kind of thing that happened in Communist Russia.

There are no good deals. Prices are higher than you will find at your local shop. But...if you want something older, you'll have a much bigger selection at Oaks just because it's so much bigger. I've bought a couple of old guns there but I bought because I found something I liked, not because the price was good. It's interesting to look around...once or twice.

I don't see it making any difference. We have a constitution that says everyone can own and carry firearms. We have SCOTUS decisions that say everyone can own and carry any firearms that are in common use. What would one more federal law in our favor do? NJ would ignore it and the courts would continue to uphold violations of the law.

solid steel - unless there's some unseen condition. Consider that 1" plate as 4 1/4" plates all stacked together and bonded to each other with bonds as strong as steel. The first 1/4" plate will be supported by 3 other identical plates that will strengthen it. The same is true for plates 2 and 3. If you have 4 separate plates, none of the plates are supported. Even if the plates are stacked tight against each other, there is more opportunity for each plate to deform independent of the others and each plate restrains the others less than if they were one piece.

I was surprised to find this in our part of the state.. My child had a checkup today. Large assembly-line pediatrician's office in Vineland, Cumberland County. Wife got quite a nasty lecture, even after she explained that all guns are locked up in the safe. I would have told the doctor that it's none of his business. She just wasn't expecting the conversation to come up and just wasn't prepared. Just a heads up. If you have kids in the county, I'm sure you'll know the place. Anybody know a good pediatrician in Cumberland/Salem Counties.

Remember that "possession with intent to distribute" has absolutely nothing at all to do with any intent to distribute. If a guy is so dangerous that we can't trust him with a firearm, than we can't trust him with a car, kitchen knife, or baseball bat and he should still be in prison for his 2oz of weed. However, If he's safe enough to live in society, with everybody else I see no reason to prevent him from having a firearm. Hopefully he learned his lesson and is no longer a menace to society. I don't smoke weed but I think it's a silly reason to revoke a constitutional right. But I'm not in charge and I have no idea what the answer is. Sorry I'm off topic.

2C:39-6(g) "All weapons being transported under paragraph (2) of subsection b., subsection e., or paragraph (1) or (3) of subsection f. of this section shall be carried unloaded and contained in a closed and fastened case, gunbox, securely tied package, or locked in the trunk of the automobile in which it is being transported, and in the course of travel shall include only such deviations as are reasonably necessary under the circumstances.”

None were full auto. Some had a capacity over 15 rounds, some were evil black rifles, and one was specifically on the banned list by name. None were any more dangerous or functioned any differently than many of the 70 guns that were legal to own.

I don't knot the answer but I know how you can find it. Everytime the law is revised, those changes become part of the NJ Register. You can search the NJ Register online at LexisNexis. If you look up that section of the Statute in The New Jersey Statutes Annotated (also available at LexisNexis) there will be a long list of dates listed before or after each section of the law. These are dates that the law was revised. You need to search the NJ Registers for each of those years. Lexis Nexis has a pretty good search tool once you learn how to use it. It's time consuming.
