does ammo need to be kept separate from firearm for transport
I used to do that all the time when I was competing seriously. It's been awhile though; I probably haven't flown with a firearm for at least 5 years, so I can't claim to have the most recent info.

Ciatterelli singh debate tonight. Now!!
Something that really concerns me--and it would be a huge factor no matter who the republican challenger had been--is that NJ is sitting on an unprecedented $10.1 billion dollar surplus. Primarily due to borrowing they didn't need to do, and federal covid relief funds that the state chose to sit on rather than distribute. Between now and the election, we'll see a lot of that paid out precisely where it will gain the most democratic votes. We're already seeing the beginnings of this. It's very hard to gain conservative votes when faced with a demographic that votes for a living.

Another AR-15 Now???
That is only a good plan if by 'SHTF insurance', you mean you plan to sell or trade it in a SHTF scenario, and you think it will be more valuable if NIB. But that's probably not what you meant. And probably not that good of an idea anyway. As everyone else has pointed out, if you are counting on it for defense, you need to get out and shoot it. You need to sight it in, for starters--rifles don't leave the factory pre-set to magically put the bullets where you want them. Everyone sees the sights and holds the firearm a little differently. You also need to shoot it enough to make sure it is reliable, and if it isn't, you need to fiddle with the gun and/or ammo until it is. And finally, you need to shoot it enough to become safe and proficient. Really proficient.

Striker-fired handgun recommendations for beginner
I'm a huge fan of the 1911, but they're not striker fired.

My book Crime Proof is dropping soon!
I received my copy--flipping through, it looks pretty good! Thanks. I'll give it a careful read, and encourage my family to do the same. I did notice you wrote your name in my copy, but still charged me full price like it was a new book.

magpul 10/30 mags
Try loading them to capacity, and leaving them that way for a few weeks...or months. Sometimes that relieves just enough spring tension to allow them to seat under a closed bolt. Sometimes it also works if you just can't get the 10th round loaded in a plugged 10 round mag...load 9 and leave the mag that way for a period of time. It doesn't always work; depends on how close the tolerances are when you start.

Y'all know the primary is over, right?

Chip McCormick, RIP
Chip passed away a few days ago. If you haven't heard of him, as a competitor, as a gunsmith, as an inventor, you've at least used things he had a hand in creating: 8 round 1911 mags, drop-in match triggers, Kimber and STI/Staccato pistols. Chip McCormick

They can't lose their seat until the general election. Yesterday's results just mean they didn't lose the right to run for re-election. But your conclusion is still accurate...- primary ?
Jack now has my full, enthusiastic support, even if he didn't 24 hours ago. He's what we have to work with, and nothing is more important than getting Phil out of the Governor's office.- Daily humor thread

I like it…but that’s a standard capacity magazine, since that’s what it shipped with. And 5 generations of gun owners have used such guns responsibly.

That all looks amazing! When are you having your going-away BBQ? Good tips on the rib source. I've also had bad luck with beef ribs from the local grocer.- NJ BBQ (was: BBQ cooking/competition school in May)
Eh. It'll look all shriveled and crusty. Pork butt is about the least attractive food to come off of a smoker. As you know, the magic happens when it gets shredded and served up on fresh buns with slaw and sauce on the side!- NJ BBQ (was: BBQ cooking/competition school in May)
Nice! They should be awesome. I'm injecting a pork butt tonight, firing up the smoker and putting the rub on the pork early tomorrow. If I have it on the smoker over pecan and apple by 8 am, it should be ready for a light sauce glaze by 6 pm, and we'll be eating pulled pork by 8 pm. ABT's, too!

I'll quote the opening sentences, for emphasis...because this is how an official response to such an incident should read: “This employee is protected under the Second Amendment. He followed all policy and procedure at the school, and in this particular case, did everything that he should have done to protect the innocent lives of the children at the school,” Lt. Brian Eynon of the Ogden City Police Department said. “And in this case, it is likely that a life was saved or injury to a life was prevented due to the actions of this heroic employee.” Sadly, had this happened in NJ, our Governor and his lapdog AG would have made sure the teacher died in prison- Blazer Brass 9 mm $550/1000 at Natchez, free shipping

1. and 2. seem problematic in that they will require you to always remember to aim differently than you normally would. 3. should work fine. Shotgun POI adjustments are usually done through stock fitting, but that's a specialty of which I have little knowledge.- NJ BBQ (was: BBQ cooking/competition school in May)
