Mr.Stu

There are way too many cops that get a free ride on their quals. I have met some cops that are actually worried about qualifying when all they have to do is put 85% of the rounds somewhere inside the milk bottle on an FBI Q target. They shouldn't worry because most of the time they get to try over and over again because it would be a mismanagement of funds to have the money spent on their other training sitting at a desk in the precinct. To be clear - I am not anti cop. I am anti lazy, incompetent people in any job. Lord knows I have had to deal with plenty in my career in the IT industry. Only today I spent another 8 hours fixing other peoples' screw ups.

This is a test, right? 3 x $10 = $30 Who would want to pay $40 for the convenience of getting all 3?

Yes, it is the same number for both. With the new FARS system, I don't recall an option to apply for only a PtPP. On the paper forms you could check the box for PtPP but not the FPIC. I think the new system gives you a FPIC regardless. I recently got more pistol permits and they created and electronic FPIC automatically, even though I already have a paper one and did not ask for an electronic one. It never really made any sense not to get the FPIC at the same time as the background check is identical and one check is sufficient for both if applying at the same time. Other ways include being a teacher, scout leader or any other role that requires a background check in NJ.

The VP9 has a nicer trigger than the Glock. However, compare to other Glocks the 34 & 35 are nicer because they come with the 3.5lb connector as standard instead of the regular 5.5lb one.

We don't do any size jokes when HE is the subject. You should know that.

Completely tongue in cheek - but if HE don't want it, why would I want it?

Why would you want to? Can you even see your front sight through the magnifier? Even if you can make it out, I'm sure it is way out of focus.

I didn't misunderstand anything. I knew exactly what I was getting and what the terms were. I own my panels, therefore own the SRECs. That can be A reason, but isn't really very common. For a secondary power source it is very costly and has a very limited lifespan. The batteries will need replacing every 7-10 years at best regardless of how many hours your power is out over that period. An ICE powered generator will outlast batteries many times over. If your objective is to have power in a long lasting SHTF scenario maybe it is worth it as gas/diesel/propane fuel will likely be hard to find. It all depends on how much you are willing to spend for a backup plan. It is likely out of reach for many. For a long term power outage, I have a wood stove for heat and cooking as well as a fire pit and charcoal grill for summer cooking when it doesn't make sense to run the stove. I also have a spring on my property for a supply of water so I don't have to run the well pump. It wouldn't be terribly comfortable, but I can get by without electricity.

It amuses me when I get the scam calls about making my electric bill cheaper. Scammer: Is your electric bill over $100 every month? Me: My bill is usually two ninety three It is actually only $2.93 for the connection fee every month that I generate more than I use. Anything excess is stored as a credit on my bill for future months when it is less sunny and I don't generate as much solar power.

The reason to go solar is to eventually save a lot of money on your electricity bill. So what if it doesn't help you when street power is out? Not having solar doesn't help you then either.

Most of the time, and I suspect all of the time for residential, to be able to hook your solar up to the grid to store your production until you need it you must sign a connection contract that forbids solar generation unless there is power on the incoming line. This is one of the ways the power company makes it less likely that there is anything back feeding the grid while linemen are making repairs. There are ways of tricking your solar system into thinking your generator power is street power, but it's not what you are supposed to do - and you'd still need a generator anyway.

You can apply for a non-resident FPIC through the nearest NJSP barracks to where you live. Once you have that and it matches your State issued ID you should be able to acquire rifles and shotguns. You can only receive the transfer of a handgun in your State of residence, as per Federal law. An obvious question is why can't a CT FFL receive it for you? Why would you voluntarily come back to NJ to do a firearm transaction?

I was out walking mine when it rolled through here. I was 100% soaked to the skin including boots that squelched as I walked because they had filled from the water running down my legs. Tons of lightning and my GSD just DGAF.

Our wonderful governor decided that this kind of insurance is "murder insurance" and would encourage reckless violence. He banned it. I used to have USCCA but they canceled at renewal because of Murphy's edict. I now have US Law Shield because they are a members club that covers legal costs, not insurance. I have carry permits from other States and carry in free America so I have the multi-State option.

It is irrelevant. The eye relief you are tuning is between the back of the magnifier and your eye. Typically the red dot will be mounted as close in front of the magnifier as possible. It is the position of the magnifier relative to your eye that will determine the position of everything else and whether you have room on the rail for BUIS behind the magnifier.

You will need to position the dot and magnifier so that you have the correct eye relief for the way you mount your gun with whatever stock position you have selected. If you you have a close head position - i.e. nose to charging handle, there may be room for the BUIS behind the magnifier. If there isn't and you really want BUIS you might be able to fit a set of 45° offset BUIS under the rear of the magnifier.

The Glock is a perfectly good gun. I ran my G35 for years before getting anything else. During my divorce I was without any guns but was still actively shooting IDPA using guns loaned to me for each match by some very good friends. I made SSP Master with a borrowed G34. I also borrowed a VP9 for a club match. I had never even seen one, let alone fired one before this day. The VP9 points and shoots great. The only thing I didn't like was the flappy paddle mag release. If I was going to get one I would go for the VP9-B which has a traditional push button mag release. https://www.dropbox.com/s/lp7zo96v1pajyz4/FILE0144.MP4?dl=0 One thing to remember is that in IDPA, the shooting is maybe 10-15% of your raw time. Stage planning and executing the movement is the rest. Chasing the perfect gun follows the law of diminishing returns and will not drastically improve your overall performance.

How many do you need? Can't you make do with 1 and move it from gun to gun?

Midway USA has Wardens in stock if anyone is still looking for one. https://www.midwayusa.com/product/1017845325?pid=118842

I don't have kind of money! I know the permits are cheap, but once I have them I feel duty bound to use them and I don't want a huge pile of Hi Points. As it is, I'm being tempted by a friend who wants to off load some Dan Wessons and a Springfield. I can easily afford the Springfield. The Dan Wessons are a fair bit more.

Yes, on RT-57

How would they get you to pay up if you knew you are not approved? Who would pay for a permit they know they are not going to get? The fee is for applying, not for the permit you get at then end.

The good news is that permits seem to be easier to get. I got the email this morning that my permits have been approved. Turn around time? 9 days going through NJSP Washington.

I'll take it

My point is that the instant a brace is deemed a stock, a non-NFA other instantly becomes a rifle (albeit short barreled) and that is irreversible.
