Mr.Stu

The key difference between airsoft and BB is that the airsoft ball has a tiny, hollow center. The same applies to paintball - the center is liquid, not solid.

I shot USPSA with him at Shongum before Christmas and I got an email today. He's fine. Thanks for the concern, he says.

Is there any documentation for that case? I'm really intrigued about what statute he was charged under.

You think someone is a threat and will probably attack you? Shoot them with one of these and remove all doubt.

55gr 30-30? What's the muzzle velocity on those things?

Is this to do with something specific in your history, or a general requirement from your PD that they demand from every applicant? If its the latter, they are way outside what is allowed by law.

From what has been posted I do not see anything to suggest they don't honor their own permit. They just want a copy of your home state permit IF you have one and IF your home state honors theirs. You nor NJ fit into those categories so don't send them a copy of the home state permit you don't have and cannot get from a state that does not honor UT permits. I vaguely remember a similar question on the original application form that I submitted for my UT permit many moons ago.

NJ did not do this voluntarily. They only did it in response to a separate law suit. NJ will happily squat all over your rights as long as they can, regardless of whether they know, or should know that it is unconstitutional.

I was not referring to your sentiments about Biden. I was referring to the way you responded to @GRIZ, who did nothing to deserve your ire as far as I could see.

I cannot speak for GFH or why you may not have received a response. Have you tried calling them?

When I went through my (failed) attempt I had a membership at GFH. They have the personnel and process down pat. They have a printed form that contains the necessary language that they fill in for you after you have qualified and gets signed by the certified instructor. IIRC, for members, they will run you through quals for 2 handguns included in the price of your membership. ETA: the quals were not the reason I was denied a permit. It was the usual lack of justifiable need. The Judge said everything else was in order.

I drilled mine. No force needed and runs just fine.

...and most of them stink

Ever heard of Dale Carnegie? You may want to look him up.

This turns back to the OP's question. If the shroud is pinned, how would you field strip it to clean it?

The way I read Nappen's interpretation is that carrying the firearm is still OK, but the ammo has to be locked up as the carve out only applies to the firearm, not the ammo. At the end of the day, this is unenforceable day to day, but will be an add-on charge if you ever have to use your gun in self defense at home. As was posted earlier - have 2 safes open by the time the cops show up and they won't be able to prove you weren't in compliance.

Yes, you can shoot rifles up to .30 caliber class - that includes .308 Win, 30/30, 30-06, etc. .223 Rem & 5.56 are less than .30 so they are GTG too. Steel spinners for .22 are allowed at 25 yards. No other steel targets are allowed.

I understand that you have physical limitations and can't just lug propane tanks around. However, it wouldn't take much for the propane tanker to stop running, or get diverted by the government to a "more important' need. You could easily get a handcart for a 20lb tank which means you don't have to lift it at all. If there is a slope you have to navigate, rig a pulley system to take the load. Relying on powered stuff to get fuel when fuel is availability is very low (remember Sandy) is self defeating.

Not trying to be picky, but to illustrate a mindset change you should consider. Digital thermometers don't do so well without a power source. Regular thermometers will work regardless. If you're planning for survivability, try to choose tools that won't drain your time or resources more to keep them operational.

I have been told to steer clear of the gen2 stuff - especially soviet. "You'll think it's good, but only because it cooked your brain."

I'm lucky where I am. I'm the last house at the end of a a dead end road with no turnaround that is uphill by at least 30° and over 100 yards long. The only people who come to my place either really want to see me, or are lost. Nonetheless, I lock my doors and my kids know to do that too. Unpleasant hill + locked doors + German Shepherd Dog = lots of time to react to unlikely and/or unwelcome guests.

There is a federal statute that prohibits ATF from creating a searchable database of gun owners. AFT is not the same as NJSP.

The COE is just a form that the buyer and seller have to fill in at the time of the transfer. There is no requirement to send it anywhere, or even keep a copy.

That's not how it works. The NJNICS does not take the specifics of each gun being transferred. My regular FFL will start and get a completed NICS for me before the seller even shows up in his shop. There is no way my FFL knows what is being transferred except what I tell him in advance - i.e. a long gun or pistol and how many; certainly not serial numbers and such. From what he's said in the past, I don't think NJNICS even cares whether it is a handgun or not and I cannot imagine why it would - the BG check is the same regardless. The only exception I can think of would be transferring a gun to someone under 21 - long guns OK, handguns not OK. The specifics of the gun go into FARS when it's a handgun and on the 4473 regardless of the type. NJSP do not get a copy of the 4473 unless they visit the shop and look at the physical copy. If NJSP were visiting all the FFLs on a regular basis to collect this info, I suspect we would have heard about it by now.

It applies to all firearms except: Only if you have a permit to carry a handgun you can have a loaded handgun as you wander around Only if you have an FPIC you can have an unloaded rifle or shotgun as you wander around There is no permit that allows a loaded rifle or shotgun.
