The 600-800 per year stat came from the AG's supplimental brief in the Federal Third Circuit Piszcatoski (sp?) case. According to the plaintif's response the number did not include armed guards. Permits are good for 2 years and NJ listed the number of permits issued each year for the last 12 years at 600-800 each year. That means there are 1200-1600 permit holders at any time in NJ. Intercooler: Do you have direct knowledge or speculating? If you know something and are willing to share, I'd like to know where the info came from. Feel free to message me privately.

Gun Broker and other online sites never work for me because even if you get a deal, shipping, transfer fee, and NJNICS adds another $75. Buds in Vineland usually has some used long guns at pretty good prices. They even have a few junkers around in the back if you're looking for a project gun. I like pawn shops for long guns - out of state of course. Pawn shops in NJ can't loan against firearms. For handguns, your hands are tied - no out of state sales.

I would be comfortable with 3/16" steel if all I had was 70A. I want a little more for 1/4" steel. The welder says it has a 20% duty cycle. That means 1 minute on and 4 minutes off.

I have put well over 10,000 rounds through my 10/22, I wouldn't be suprised if I've put 20,000 rounds through it over 30 years. Never had an issue with any parts not working. I once replaced the front sight because I dropped the gun and chipped it.

I've got a couple of bigger welders in our shop but we do have a small, 110V lincoln mig welder. It's fine for work outside of the shop and we often use it when we can't get something to the welding bench in the shop. Miller makes better products but for occasional use, Lincoln is fine. I would really suggest a mig welder instead of a stick welder. I can weld both ways. Mig welders - once you spend the hour to get comfortable with them - will do a much nicer job and are really convenient. It's also much harder to weld thin material with a stick welder. If you're going to weld heavy steel - go with a stick welder. If most of your welding will be on steel under 1/4" thick, I prefer a mig welder. About the harbor freight welders - sorry no experience with them.

When hunting, everybody carries with shotguns cased and standing up between the drivers and passengers seat - with boxes of shells sitting on the center seat.

Interesting. But Ryan's looking for names.

I agree that there are some useful things to do with a bunch of denials. But I haven't heard NJ2AS say that they have a plan with what to do with a bunch of denials. NJ2AS told everyone at a public meeting that right to carry was not a project for this year The meeting fell apart as everyone there argued that right-to-carry was something we wanted - it got kind of ugly. A few days later project CLASP was announced with no promotion, no step 2. I'm don't believe that project CLASP is really a project at all - just a way to appease the members. I expect an announcement that not enough people participated so NJ2AS is off the hook for right to carry and it's the memberships fault - again. I'd participate in such a project if it had a followup plan that made sense.

There is no state law against shooting on your own property. Towns may have ordinances. However, even if you aren't breaking any laws, there is always some law that the police can find a way to make it fit to have a reason to make an arrest.

It's best to read the law for yourself instead of trusting a lot of conflicting information on the internet. Google NJSA 2C:39-5 It basically says 1) "here's the long list of things you can't tranport" 2) unless you have an FID - then you can transport long guns Then NJSA 2C:39-5 tells you how you must transport. It's a little more complicated but that's basically it. Lots of farmers I know keep a shotgun in a sock behind the seat of their truck all the time with a box of shells in the cab of the truck somewhere else. Never know when you'll need to dispatch some nuisance animal. By the way, the gun needs to be "carried unloaded and contained in a closed and fastened case, gunbox, securely tied package, OR locked in the trunk of the automobile." So if it's in a case it can be in the vehicle's compartment - the farmers I know keep them in reach. I'm not suggesting you do the same.

Strange how our perceptions change. A year ago I would not have spent $25 on 500 rounds of .22. Now I was glad to find it for twice that price. I do hope ammo someday comes back to normal but I used to hope the same thing about gas prices - back when I sold my F250 because gas hit the ridiculous price of $2 per gallon.

Thank you - got 5 boxes on their way. I've been looking for mini mags for a long time.

Prosecutors can carry. A friend of mine is a prosecutor and chooses not to because she would need to qualify (every 6 months?) and it isn't worth it to her. She does however avoid shopping, eating, or going out in her home county because she's afraid of running into someone she put in prison.

I've put the EZpour spouts (I really have no idea of the brand I used) on all of my cans - gas, diesel, kerosene. So much better than the new "better" spouts. If you're keeping gasoline in your generator or other equipment, the most damage is done when gasoline evaporates from the carburetor leaving thick, gummy residue behind. This eventually hardens into what I've heard referred to as "varnish". I've never experienced gas that goes bad and I grew up on a farm where we had dozens of different kinds of gasoline equipment - some of which would sit for years unused. I have experienced problems with gummy residue and varnish in carburetors. When I'm storing something with a full tank I turn off the fuel petcock and run the generator until it stalls from lack of gas. I then crank the engine a few times while spraying WD40 into the carburetor's air intake to lightly lube everything since there isn't any gasoline to prevent corrosion or rust.

Multiple 5 gal cans. I mow 1-1/2 acres so I have plenty of opportunity to rotate my stock through my mower. I keep 5 cans full at all times - empties go in the back of my truck and get filled the next time I'm at the gas station.

I've only shot surplus ammo in my mosin and I'm pretty sure it's steel cases. Are you able to get brass cases in 7.62x54r? Is it going to be cheaper than surplus ammo at $.19/round.

I'm looking at Bond Arms Derringers and I have a question about them. It appears that all models use the same frame and that the trigger guard, grips, and hammers are the only difference between models. The other difference of course is the barrels and it seems that the size of the barrels must all be the same - to fit the frames that are all the same and only the bore sizes are different. Are my assumptions correct? Can I buy a bond arms derringer - any model and swap parts to get any other model?

We've stayed at the Homewood Suites in Arlington. I was skeptical because we booked a suite (separate bedroom, sleeper couch, and kitchen area) for just over $100 a night. It seemed a little too good to be true and we were a little worried it might no be as nice as the brochure photos. But the hotel was great and having two kids, a suite worked out nice. Two TV's no fighting and the teen got the privacy she needed. It was a very nice place to retreat too when the younger one had had all the day he could handle. We've booked suite hotels anywhere we go ever since that trip and it's always been worth the extra $30 a night for us. We probably even save the extra because we keep a couple of frozen pizzas, soda, and cereal in the room instead of going out for every time somebody gets hungry or thirsty.

FID has nothing to do with handguns, other than it lets you purchase handgun ammo in NJ. FID lets you transport a long gun cased and unloaded, not a handgun.

Don't try to drive into DC - especially during rush hour. Parking prices are reasonable but all garages will be full. If you get in early enough (7:30) you'll be fine but then you'll have an hour and a half wait until anything opens. The metro is the way to go. We've used both Falls Church stations near Alexandria. Get a parking ticket on the way in to the station park anywhere stop at a self-serve ticket machine and buy one pass for each person. use the pass at the turnstile to get onto the platform take the orange line to the Smithsonian station get off and take the escalators up to exit in the field in the middle of the mall after taking the same trip back to Falls Church - walk to your car and pay the parking on the way out at the exit driveway. Everything can be done with credit card You can get monthly passes, daily passes, and lots of other options with metro cards. We just purchased $10 at a time on each card and that lasted us a few days. if you get lost (we were tourists the first time and had no idea what to do) there are Metro employees everywhere and they are always polite and helpful. DC is the nation's showcase city for the world and they are definitely tourist friendly.

Oh, one more. My kids loved eating at the vending vans on the street behind the air and space museum. You can go out the back doors of the museum and there are several options there very cheep. we found a van with great egg rolls big enough to be a meal. Kids are still taking about that over a year later. Just like Christmas when they just want to play with the box.

Take advantage of the Metro. The most efficient, on time, cleanest public transit system I have ever seen. Easy to figure out too. So much easier than driving and you can surely find a park and ride metro station close to your hotel in Alexandria (we've stayed there several times). The metro has stops in the middle of everything you'll want to see including right in the very middle of the museums at the mall. In addition to the mall which can take 2 days (take strollers - it's a big, big, area to walk and will wear out mom and dad) we really liked: The international spy museum. Lunch in Chinatown (Chinatown is small but the entrance to Chinatown was worth the few blocks we had to walk.) The national zoo (probably not so great in winter) DC is a great vacation for the family. If this is your first time with small kids, take small bites. My kids are a few years older than yours and we found out that we can only do about 6 hours of tourist stuff before we needed to retreat to the hotel for some down time. That actually turned out to be nice because we were able to head into DC after rush hour and get out just before. After a couple of ours to watch tv and relax, they were ready to go out and do something small in the early evening.

I'm lost. If FFL's cant sell AW's why would there be an AW book? If there is an AW book, what gets logged if not AWs? Jersey legal AR's, AKs, Lowers, etc. aren't legally AWs - are these items logged into the AW book? If there is a separate book for "AW - style" firearm sales that aren't actually AWs, this is disturbing because it means that somebody has plans to someday need a quick list of everyone who owns one of these currently legal firearms.

I know several troopers. All are very pro 2A. But...I live in rural deep south jersey. Every trooper I know hunts and grew up with guns. Things may be different with cops that grew up in the cities where guns are bad.
