Yes, you can use those losses to offset gains elsewhere in your portfolio. :-)

There is a long and dishonorable tradition of Illinois communities pulling this crap. I’m sure some folks here remember the furor when Morton Grove outlawed handgun possession in 1981. It took almost 30 years for that to get repealed.

This is probably the first time Summit, NJ has been equated to rural Georgia.

Happy Birthday Mrs. Peel! Hope your moderating duties don't age you prematurely.

Requiring a background check to buy ammo is like requiring a drivers test every time you buy gas...

That would be a 180, not a 360. SciFi constantly ignore Newton's Laws...and plenty of others. It's kind of a requirement to make interesting things happen in science fiction. In the real world, we can't even get a human to Mars anytime soon. This isn't the future, the movie was set a long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away. It wan't my favorite movie of the franchise, but It's entertainment...I'm willing to suspend a good bit of disbelief, and it's certainly not a flick I felt a need to view through the lens of what the Hollywood politics behind it might be.

That's a sketchy web page...it wants location information, has a ton of random advertising links, and when you close it it takes you to even more advertising.

That's some good parenting right there...congrats!

Do you realize what the penalty is for bigamy? Two wives.

The Keltec has a seven round tubular magazine. Ok, it has two of them, but that’s still different than having a 14 round magazine. I’m sure the state would still try to jam the owner up for a mag limit violation, though.

Congratulations! Or condolences, not sure which will be more appropriate in the long run :-)

The intent of S2402 is to put economic pressure on gun friendly states to fall in line with NJ’s more draconian laws, by cutting off whatever travel dollars NJ employees on government business would be spending there. As a taxpayer, I think it’s a fine idea to stop employee travel on the taxpayer dime. If S2402 stops the junkets, I’m all for it. I doubt Scottsdale, Orlando, New Orleans, etc will notice a difference in revenue.

Bah. Just one more thing in the vast universe of things she can’t wrap her mind around.

I don’t understand this. Surely everyone at the rally knew that seating in the statehouse was limited, and a lot of anti-gun people would be trying to get seats. Same as at every other hearing.

There is no mention of mag registration, or fees, in the above link to the bill that we are discussing.

The rules for international trap require magazines to be blocked to hold only one shell, the second shell being the one in the chamber. I did not know that until I looked it up just now... I didn't look up the rules for skeet, as that's not an event I shoot. I don't see a magazine limit in the rules for American trap; you are restricted instead by the number of shells allowed for the event you are shooting...1 or 2. I doubt most Range14 ROs would be aware of the difference, and in any case you're not shooting a registered event, and you're not shooting international trap. International trap bunkers are pretty rare; if you're shooting behind a single thrower, it's not international trap. I think the RO just objected to the look of your gun...

Competitive shooting events rarely make rules against things that put you at a competitive disadvantage, so while 18" barrels are going to be almost never seen at a trap or skeet range, I'm unaware of any rules against them. The RO was just wrong in saying the capacity of the gun was an issue. Plenty of people shoot trap, skeet, and sporting clays with pumps and semi autos, and you don't need to plug the magazine to limit capacity...the rules will only limit how many rounds you load. Most ROs and I think all trap/skeet clubs will know this.

You'll have to try it and see. If it doesn't work out, you've justified buying another rifle! I agree, stock fit and eye relief are likely to be the biggest concerns. The closer the two of you are to being the same size, the more likely it will work. There will almost certainly be differences in point of impact between any two shooters, just because of the ergonomic differences that will always exist, but that may or may not be noticeable to you.

Pretty much, though you won't see a serious trap shooter with a side by side, and some pretty good ones will use O/U's for the singles event. Limits on rounds loaded are universal. You can only shoot one shot at a single, in American trap, and only two at doubles, wobble, or international events. And you have to be unloaded when it isn't your turn to shoot. So it makes no sense to load extra rounds that you can't use, and can't have in the gun between targets.

This. Or you can always sell the certificate--they're transferrable, and often bring in the $375-$400 range--giving you money towards a non-Glock.

Love Rita’s, but the half dozen I used to visit have all closed in the last year or so. I’ve no idea where the nearest one is now

I visited their Bedminster store once before it closed. Extremely cool! It was like a wonderful old gun museum, only you could handle the exhibits. Anything under $100,000, they had out on racks right on the showroom floor, and you could handle to your hearts content (no need to show an FID here!) The expensive stuff they had in display cases, and you had to ask first. When I was there, the most expensive item seemed to be a gorgeous old Perazzi double set, with barrels in several gauges, for almost $300,000. Man, if I'd just hung onto all the money I spent buying my first home and the five new cars I've bought in my lifetime...nevermind, all that still wouldn't have covered the cost of the Perazzi.

As warning letters go, I think the one sent was excellent. And if it has the demanded effect of getting the students exonerated and the school policy changed, it'll save a ton of money for all of the future legal action that is going to be required as the anti-gun bills get signed.

That would work. The best way to make a small fortune operating a shooting range in NJ is to start with a large fortune.

Almost everything I shoot is standard velocity, so I don't have a lot of experience with the various high velocity loads on the market. Mini-mags have long had a sterling reputation though. I've not heard anything either way about the Agila Super Extra High Velocity stuff. I've got some of the latter, and also some Aquila sub sonic...I just haven't had a chance to shoot either of them yet. I remain a big fan of CCI Standard Velocity, because it performs great for the price, and also because I've got a finicky bullseye gun that malfunctions too often with anything else.
