Tuesday perhaps. Tomorrow is a holiday.

I don't think that will stop them. It's all free money to them.

This is that same train of thought that resulted in the handgun ban in the UK. They knew that criminals were by far the most likely to commit a crime with a gun, but darn it! The criminals refused to register themselves! So the politicians took guns from law abiding people who had registered them, even though they were the least likely to misuse them. This explains it all:

One more thing...that "zero parallax" optic...isn't.

Sadly this is similar to the DC laws and rules that were overturned in Heller. At that time you could have a handgun in DC if it was registered. However, the DC authorities provided no means to register any handgun - a defacto ban - but they could point to the number of applications to register a handgun (zero) and say "See, no-one wants a handgun" When the people running the polls refuse to log complaints and then later point to the lack of complaints filed as proof of an honest system, what are you supposed todo?

Don't overthink your rifle ammo. Whatever the bullet profile is, 3000fps is going to deliver a bunch of energy on target. Just pick something that has satisfactory accuracy and is reliable in your gun. Then spend the time you would have used up looking for the perfect ammo to practice, practice, practice. Also bear in mind that if you zero your sights for one type of ammo, the point of impact will change if you switch to another type of ammo. Will it shift by much? Maybe, maybe not. It all depends on how different they are and the distance you are shooting.

The need for Judges I can accept. I would much prefer representatives to politicians.

With the current crop, would that be such a bad thing?

Lol. I think I'm reasonably good, but I'm not that sure.

Welcome to the amended definition of "ghost gun"

Read this section of the admin code again (I posted it earlier) You have to fulfill 1, 2 OR 3, not 1, 2 AND 3. To save you looking it up 2c:39-6j is: As noted above, this is only 1 of 3 options. Satisfying #2 is probably the easiest as there are instructors who already run quals for RPO and SORA folks.

Can we say Steve Fulop?

Since you only hear of people killed "by" a gun, that makes perfect sense.

The admin code as it stands, doesn't describe the substance of any qualification test at all. It also says that passing any test in the State's laws governing use of force which has been administered by certain people with certain certifications can be done instead of a shooting qual.

I did some force-on-force training as a role player for a NJ town PD. One exercise was 2 officers start facing each other. Each has a sims gun with an empty mag and an empty chamber in their holster. On the signal it is a race to see who can draw, press the trigger on target and get click-no-bang, do tap-rack drill at which point the slide will lock back due to the empty mag, execute a reload and put a shot on their opponent. The lead instructor wouldn't let me play against any of the officers there except my friend that invited me to act as role player - it wouldn't be fair, he said.

The flip side is that if NJ makes qualifying super hard, the cops won't pass either. Too many can barely pass their quals now.

All great, except the cops have already said he bought them with a debit card, not a credit card.

Technically, within your home you are justified in using deadly force if the intruder refuses to comply when ordered to surrender. Having said that, personally I'd let them walk if they were no longer a threat.

I would so love someone to ask these politicians why they are spewing such amazing bullshit. 9mm removing a lung? Really? We need someone to hold up signs at these press conferences that say "That's bullshit and you know it"

This just as silly as banning AR-15 pattern rifles. Just switch to AR-10.

No - I just have the basic kit.

Sorry - I already paid for them.

I'll take them

If you have astigmatism, like I do, a red dot may not work perfectly for you - have you tried any yet? Even with my wonky eyes the true holographic sights are fine. I have a QD swing out magnifier behind mine so I can cover multiple roles.

Since you got a set of BUIS, are you set on an etched retilce? If not, I absolutely love my Vortex UH-1 holographic sight. It's on par with Eotech - I find it a little clearer.
