Handguns on layaway?
IMHO, saving money is better than layaway. In the 7 months until you can make the purchase several things can happen including finding a better price or changing your mind on the perfect gun or prices coming down after this panic buying is over and gun shops find themselves overstocked with all the back orders they couldn't get 7 months before.

So let me get this straight
What document is this information from?

On CNN a pro gun opinion
Surprised. More surprised at the number of pro 2A comments from CNN readers at the bottom of the article. I misjudged the CNN audience.

New York opt-out forms = overworked county employees
Why not release a list of everyone on welfare, disability, handicap hang tags, families with kids in special education, rape victims, people who have spent time in government mental hospitals, all registered members of a particular political party? Why not? Because private information should remain private - even if the government has it in it's files.

Fingerprinting for Out of State CCWs
An update: Called my local NJSP barracks this afternoon. The trooper I talked to hadn't heard of anyone getting fingerprints done for other states but said that If I stopped by, somebody could probably help me. I stopped by and everybody was very helpful - as usual in this barracks. It was obvious that nobody had used ink and paper to take prints in a very long time but with some practice on blank paper, we figured out how to do it and my prints are now done. The few troopers I talked to were curious about why a NJ resident would apply for an AZ CCW permit.

Instant marksman - computerized scope
I know nothing about optics so my idea might not work but I always thought it should be possible to have a scope that automatically adjusts for bullet drop based on focal distance. What I mean is: If you focus the scope at 100 yds, the point of aim is automatically adjusted for the bullet drop at 100 yards. If you focus the scope at 500 yds, the point of aim is automatically adjusted for the bullet drop at 500 yards. All you need to do is rotate the focus ring until your target is in fucus and pull the trigger. Much easier than anything else I've seen and much cheaper than $17,000.

Fingerprinting for Out of State CCWs
Some of us live very close to PA and DE. DE shopping is tax free and there really isn't much to do in South Jersey. So some of us spend quite a bit of our time in a neighboring state.

Fingerprinting for Out of State CCWs
I just received my application packet for AZ CCW permit. I'm planning on also doing a VA but haven't received the application yet. There were two fingerprint cards enclosed. For those who have out of state CCWs, where did you get your fingerprints done?

Va and Az ccw online course
I just completed the mini online course and test. Basic information - some minor blatant selling of some products from his website. Not badly done. I emailed AZ and VA for the packet and I'm now waiting for that to arrive by snail mail.

The other side of permit delay and gun control, silver lining?
I'm also hopeful that our recent national flirtation with communism has scared enough people that we reverse direction.

Cyprus Banks to limit cash withdrawls and credit card charges when they open
Get Ready - coming to a country near you. Unlike the rest of the country, I'm sure most here already understand this but right now the Fed is propping things up by printing money to buy stocks, bonds, and mortgages from banks as fast as they can. this inflates the value of all investments by making investment's scarce and creating the new bubble we're seeing in the stock market. This is the last game the Fed has to play and they're having to do it faster and faster to keep it working. The problem is that eventually it won't work and the abundance of new money in the market will cause the value of that money to plummet. I expect it to happen soon. We are already solving the debt problem - we're inflating our way out. For me, chart 2 below is scarier than chart 1.

Va and Az ccw online course
According to the site's FAQs, both VA and AZ require fingerprints to be completed at your local PD. Will local PDs in NJ do this? NJSP sub contracts FID fingerprints to a 3rd party and won't do those at the barracks.

Whats your opinion on this story
You were right. He was trying to do his job. I understand why he got scared and scared quickly turns to angry. A holster sounds like a good solution. You were lucky that you didn't get arrested and charged - not because you were wrong but because right and wrong get argued by lawyers later in court - not at the "crime scene".

NRA membership and flood of junk email
If I'm not on the "do not promote" list does the NRA send me junk I don't want or does it sell my email address to other companies so they can send me the junk I don't want.

Guy in Long Island "busted" with "more than 300 guns"
I don't mean to sound ignorant but is it illegal to "gunsmith" without a license. I realize you can't manufacture but are there restrictions on who is allowed to fix broken guns?

Guy in Long Island "busted" with "more than 300 guns"
http://now.msn.com/jay-steiner-had-more-than-300-guns-seized-from-home Apparently the guy had an expired FFL and wasn't supposed to have several of the guns he had. Follow the law buddy. But the article isn't exactly unbiased. Highlights from the article: "Jay Steiner was apparently the lunatic cops were looking for" "more than 300 guns in his home, which is around the corner from a high school." "He had more firepower than the detectives who arrested him,"

Arrrrggghh!
If it's a dent and not a scratch: you can try this. lay a wet paper towel (soaked and 3 or 4 layers) over the dent and hold a hot iron over the spot. The steam will raise the grain and if you're lucky, bring it back to it's original level. It will need a little very very fine sandpaper (300 or 400 grain) to smooth the raised grain to get it perfect again. If the steaming and sanding takes of some color, rub a little stain and rub a little poly on it. I did this on an old Remington 1100 stock I dented about a year ago and you can't find the spot now.

another NICS complaint
NJ Wants to control the process. It's one of the few states that submits the request to the Feds for you instead of the FFLs going to the feds directly.

Good news from Atlantic County's gun grab (e.g. buyback)
A knowledgeable vet should write a letter to the editor about the poor person who was ripped off and a piece of history destroyed at the buy back. I'd do it but I'm neither.

Federal Appellate court upholds Maryland ccw laws
The second amendment is 1 sentence! How are the courts consistently interpreting it so differently from how it is written? Are we nuts? Do we misunderstand something that's obvious to everyone else?

Question for dads
somebody at work mentioned the Shawn Moore story today. I said that I knew "all" the details and explained what really happened. By the end, I had a crowd in my office and everyone was very pro-Shawn. I live in the free part of the state but it was nice to know that even among school administrators (a group with a liberal bent), there was support for 2A.

SAF v NJ (MULLER et al v. MAENZA et al)
this decision is going to be difficult for the court. The second amendment is 1 sentence long. Even if you had a hard time understanding the intent of that one sentence, there is plenty of supporting information from the writers of the document. The judge is going to have to work hard to write a decision that is contrary to the second amendment that still sounds plausible. I understand why he would drag his feet.

News 12 NJ Poll - Should kids be allowed to handle guns?
Read the comments. ten to one in support of the family and the right to own a gun. I have to say I'm surprised considering what part of the state this station serves. Maybe there is hope. Maybe we aren't the minority in NJ.
