mislabeled ammo
Back before Dick's went full woke I would purchase ammo when on sale, usually WWB or Blazer. Around 2017-18 Blazer Brass was offering rebates on bulk (350 rds.) 45 ACP at the same time Dick's was having a sale. Don't remember exactly, but it was a great price per round, even lower than online so I bought two boxes. Recently, I had an empty 50 cal ammo can and I figured I'd open the Blazer boxes and put them in the can. The ammo was packed in zip-locked bags in the boxes. Today, I grabbed a few hand fulls from the can to bring to the range. Upon inspection, the bag I grabbed them from was actually 40 S&W! Should have opened those boxes in the store I guess, at least I didn't try shooting them through my 45.

Non-Hollowpoint? (Long)
That's a good price, but I'm not eligible. Sorta like Orwell's 1984, "all animals are equal, but some are more equal than others".

What is your lead mitigation protocol?
I sincerely applaud your efforts, especially having little ones in the house. Since I only shoot a few hundred rounds in a (hopefully) well-ventilated range every month or so, I'm good with a thorough hand wash with the D-lead soap before leaving the range and try not to pick my nose on the drive home. I do wear latex gloves when cleaning the guns afterwards.

Storm Damage
I know it doesn't answer your question, and don't know what you are comfortable trying to do yourself, but it's actually pretty easy to do. My son had several pieces that were damaged in a storm. I picked up a vinyl siding removal tool (big name for a simple tool) at Lowe's, watched a few videos and made the repair. I'm in my late 60's and never worked with vinyl siding before.

County by County?
I can understand both of the above positions. I realize PDs need to prioritize their resources, but also would appreciate a quick "we got it" email. To me, it isn't a case of not trusting my PD, but not knowing if something went wrong with the transmission. I emailed scans to my department each time I qualified/requalified and received a brief "received, thanks" reply within a few hours. Fortunately, my PD has a dedicated firearms unit clerk. I did not submit a SP182a since my permit was issued by the court 1/2023, I can only carry the gun I qualified with.

FBI Director "terror threats in the US are at an unprecedented level"
Maybe there's more threats now because they've spent so much time and attention doing the bidding of the Southern Poverty Law Center and the like by going after Christian pastors, traditional Catholics, Trump supporters, and white supremacists (primarily embedded FBI agents)? Um, just kidding Mr. Wray.

WMA permissible targets
Thanks for the comments guys. I don't hunt, but have had a hunter's license for a few years. Old guysrule649, I just picked up a .22 rifle and would like to use Colliers Mills to try it out. I made a simple target stand out of 2x4s and would like to use a small steel spinner as well. It will be my first time shooting at a WMA range.

WMA permissible targets
Good afternoon, Does anyone know if spinner type steel targets are permitted using a .22 rifle at the WMAs that have centerfire/muzzleloader ranges, particularly at Collier's Mill? From what I've read on the WMA site, only paper targets are permitted but I've also heard that steel spinners are permitted using .22 only. Thanks in advance for any info.

Bought ammo from him some years ago. Good guy, enjoyed talking with him.

gun free zone liability ?
Unfortunately I have to agree with JohnnyB, those that entered, entered at their own risk. Just as those that carry are supposed to be cognizant of the restrictions.

Koons case
Not to be contrarian, but I believe it can be. It also may be all we have, despite the excellent work being done by our defense, because of the evident prejudices of certain judges.

Koons case
Same 2 anti judges and 1 2A judge, didn't Einstein say something about insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result? As well-reasoned the arguments were from our side, and as baseless the arguments from Cai and company were, I am not optimistic that the anti judges will adhere to our constitution or the bill of rights. But hope springs eternal.

Road Trip!! How to stash a rifle while on a car trip/staying over, etc.?
I wouldn't leave it in the car. Maybe check with the range and see if you could have them safely secure it for you. If so, drop it off on Friday. Either way, enjoy the weekend.

Do you carry a spare mag?
I also carry a spare iwb cross draw with a pouch like those neoprene type ones.

USCCA Phone App Gets It Wrong
100% correct. When I'm planning a trip that takes me through different states I use handgunlaw.us for intro info, and then use the links to each state's firearm laws to confirm. Matter of fact, planning a trip right now and avoiding Illinois at all costs.

Welcome to the forum, have you picked anything up yet? And never mention crock pots or pineapple either.

USCCA Phone App Gets It Wrong
Might want to take a look at handgunlaw.us. With the way things change so frequently here, can't blame anyone from not having the latest/greatest nonsense going on in this state.

menendez indicted
I believe Bomber is right on the mark. Curiously, Murphy and company jumped on him right away, didn't hear a peep from the dems in 2017 when he was benefitting from his sugar daddy Dr. Melgen and cavorting with minors.

NJSP REQUALIFICATION
Good evening David, I also requalified with Mr. Cope this Tuesday the 19th (took my original qual with him in Aug. 2022). I actually had rescheduled the week before the new qualification came out on 9/17, but Mr. Cope had the new S.P. 182 CCare form, which replaced the interim qual of 7/18, which replaced the qual prior. I'm also not on facebook and appreciate your willingness to keep us informed here on the forum. Thanks again, Ben

Most Carry Qualification Requirements Erased 9-17-23
I will be doing the interim to the interim soon. I have searched the NJSP website for the form I submit to the state to refund the cost of my initial course from 2022 that my PD, county judge and state deemed acceptable enough to issue my permit to carry. Can anyone be of assistance?

Maybe so, as long as holster draw was included, according to the new form.
