I never really thougth about how fast a bullet rotates before. I understood that bullet rotion stabilized the bullet in flight and prevented tumbling but I didn't know how fast a bullet needs to rotate for that to work. I figured the math is pretty simple so I did a couple of calculations and I'm shocked at how fast a bullet really rotates. No wonder rifling stabilizes a bullet. The formula I came up with is: Bullet RPM = 12 / twist rate (in inches) x 60 x muzzel velocity. A few examples that shocked me are: A .22 with a 16" twist rate at 1,000 fps spins at 54,000rpm A .223 with a 9" twist rate at 3,000 fps spins at 180,000 rpm A 9mm with a 10" twist rate at 1,200 fps spins at 86,000 rpm.

Don't worry about which way the water runs with EPDM as long as it runs off the roof. EPDM doesn't work like shingles where water sheds off of one shingle onto the next. EPDM is solvent welded at the seams and if done correctly works as a single membrane. On large commercial roofs, the tapered insulation or roof slope changes constantly to direct water to several roof drains. It would be impossible to layer EPDM to let water shed from one sheet to the other. Shaving insulation to get a taper is wrong. Installing tapered insulation is right.

Our minivan is a "crossover". My wife says so.

100% silicone is the best. It will last the longest and will flex the most. But it's hard to work with. If it gets anywhere you don't want it, you'll never completely get rid of it. Guys who do this all the time use silicone. laytex caulk will need to be cut out and replaced every few years but it's very easy to work with because it can be cleaned up with water. To do perfect latex, you can use a wet finger to smooth it and you can clean up excess with a damp sponge. The absolute best caulk is urethane caulk. Lasts forever, flexes more than silicone, will stick to absolutely anything. We've done waterproofing jobs on buildings using cases of urethane caulk. It's amazing. But it's so sticky, so impossible to clean up that it's far worse than silicone if you don't use it all the time.

I haven't heard the program yet but constructive intent: you purchase a 30 round magazine. You also own a rifle that will take that magazine. You are charged with both ownership of the magazine (a law which you intentionally broke) and with ownership of an illegal rifle even though you never attached the magazine to the rifle. For constructive intent to apply, you have to do one illegal act that results in an unintended other illegal act. A lot of internet gun talk mixes up "constructive intent" with "constructive possession" with nj's law that says you can't own all the parts of an assault rifle. If you own all the parts of an assault rifle, NJ law says it's illegal. So no charge of constructive anything is needed - you broke the law straight out. Constructive possession (different than constructive intent) says that if you have control over something, you still possess it even if you don't. Store a flash supressor at your friends house but you could pick it up whenever you want and it's constructive possession.

I've never done layaway but I have paid a percentage to hold a handgun for me until permits came through. I think most shops will do that.

In case the Facebook page disappears, here's a capture of the letter with his personal details removed.

I don't know this guy but he has posted a letter he received from the VA on his facebook page here: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=693091057443100&set=a.411139392304936.97576.100002266371223&type=1&theater Think twice about accepting the government benefits you are due for your service.

Yes, the VMAC 9mm is over 50 oz., But being over 50 oz is only one evil feature. (If I have the barrel threads removed). It's only an assault handgun if it has 2 evil features. So I'm assuming the VMAC 9mm is illegal because it's "a semi-automatic version of an automatic firearm" . But why isn't the MPA mini-9 a "a semi-automatic version of an automatic firearm" too?

I had the same question.

As much as this article says it's silly to focus on getting rid of rifles, it also says it's smart to focus on getting rid of handguns.

At one far end of the gun owner spectrum is the FUDD. Owns one shotgun for deer and one for small game. Thinks all other guns are stupid. At the other far end of the gun owner spectrum is the Tacti-tard. Wears black or camo fatigues to the indoor range. Brings 12 handguns and 35 loaded magazines for each to the range. When not shooting, he's telling his fellow shooters how they're doing it wrong and why his selection of firearms is superior to theirs.

I'm eying this gun http://www.classicfirearms.com/vmac-9mm-pistol This gun has 3 strikes against it. Strike 1: 30 round magazine - but I can have that altered - problem solved. Strike 2: threaded barrel - but I can have the barrel turned and the threads removed - problem solved. Strike 3: weight over 50 oz (5.5 lbs to be exact). But I'm allowed "one evil feature" so this gun should be NJ legal. However, this handgun is illegal if it's a "A semi-automatic version of an automatic firearm". I don't know if it is a semi-automatic VERSION of a Mac 10 or if it's just made similar to the Mac 10. The NJAC say an illegal assault firearm (handgun) is: B. a semi-automatic pistol that has an ability to accept a detachable magazine and has at least 2 of the following: an ammunition magazine that attaches to the pistol outside of the pistol grip; a threaded barrel capable of accepting a barrel extender, flash suppressor, forward handgrip, or silencer; a shroud that is attached to, or partially or completely encircles, the barrel and that permits the shooter to hold the firearm with the nontrigger hand without being burned; manufactured weight of 50 ounces or more when the pistol is unloaded; and a semi-automatic version of an automatic firearm; and,

Looks like moisture to me too. I doubt that it was dew on the insulation - that would have made it difficult to adhere the EPDM. Maybe dew under the insulation? A core test with a moisture meter is the only way I now of to verify. Thermal scans are done on large commercial projects but they're expensive and not very accurate. One advantage of EPDM is that it is easy to patch a core (or other damage) as good as new. Did you get a manufacturer's warranty? That would have required the manufacturer's rep to inspect the final job and sign off on the warranty. Without that, I doubt the manufacturer will be much help. What's the deck material and what type of insulation was used?

I have lots of guns from the early 80's. Most of my collection is even older. How old are you guys? A gun from the 80's sounds like a nice, new firearm to me.

Always had excellent impulse control.

I have kids so everything is unloaded and locked up (or at least trigger locked). Two handguns are in the small push button safe on my dresser both loaded. A pistol for me and a revolver for my wife.

A friend has one. He says it's a great gun but he can't get parts so it's sitting in his safe in need of repairs.

We're almost 3 hours from Hamburg so it was a 2x a year trip for us and always a big event. Now we have a mini-Cabelas right over the bridge in Delaware. I can be there in 30 minutes...and I am...a lot. Took the big trip to the big Cabela's a few weeks ago and it wasn't nearly as amazing or as fun.

If the engine was put away with fuel in the carb bowl, that fuel evaporated away leaving just a sticky "varnish". This has everything gummed up. Remove the carb from the engine (two bolts), remove the bowl and clean everything with carb cleaner and a soft toothbrush. Pay special attention to the fuel metering valve (little tapered thing that attaches to the float in the bowl. Once everything is moving freely again, I think it will start.

FOPA (Federal Firearm Owners Protection Act) requires guns to be locked in the trunk or in vehicles without a trunk, the unloaded firearm must be in a locked container other than the glove compartment or console. Ammunition that is either locked out of reach in the trunk or in a locked container other than the glove compartment or console is also covered by FOPA. For FOPA to apply, you must be transporting across state lines from a place where it is legal for you to possess and carry to a place where it is legal for you to possess and carry. Many interpret that to mean from our home to a free state is OK. Some claim that "place" means "state" so since we can't carry in NJ, we aren't ever covered by FOPA. I guess that would depend on what judge you get.

I like 81. It's slightly more interesting than 95 - but maybe only because I've done 95 more often. If you're trip would have you coming into Baltimore / DC during morning rush hour, 81 doesn't add much as you avoid the 15 mile stand-still entering the beltways. But Griz is right, if you just want to get there as fast as possible, 95 stinks as the best option but it is the best option. You mentioned MD and DC. Don't forget that SC doesn't recognize other state's permits. I think you can keep a loaded firearm in a closed glove box or center console in SC without a permit but you can't carry there.

If she is pardoned, the conviction is set aside and she is completely free of the charge. Christie commuted Brian Aitken's sentence. That means he is still a felon but didn't have to serve the time in prison.

These are now Grandmom's guns. Whatever your grandfather wanted it's now up to her to decide everything. She can sell or give them to NJ residents and she might want your input. If she wants you to have any, she will need to go through an FFL. Just be careful not to steamroll over her. These are her guns now and it is totally her decision what happens to them.

They can set up a license plate reading camera and instantly access the database to see if you have a valid registration and valid insurance. The reason to stop people is to give them the opportunity to look and smell into your vehicle to see if they can catch you doing something else. It's a way around that pesky constitution and all it's inconvenient rights.
