Ghost loading isn't an issue. The statute restricts the number of shells the magazine can hold. It is silent on how many can be sitting on the lifter.

A G17 slide will not work on a G19 frame. You need a G47 or G49 slide to make it work on G19 frame - the G49 is essentially what you would be creating by putting a G17 length slide/barrel on a G19 sized frame. It is the length of the recoil systems that needs to match for it to work.

The only reliable way to do this would be to do a standalone backup of the 2 partitions, resize them while still in standalone mode, then restore from the backup media. To be safe, I would take a backup of all your partitions just in case anything goes wrong with modifying the partition table.

I carry a CZ P-01 with a TLR-6a in a kydex IWB holster (approx. the size of a Glock 19). There is a sweet spot between 3 o'clock and 4 o'clock where it doesn't sit on any bone, but I can sit in the car, or any other seat without issue.

There is no clear definition as to what modifications are acceptable or not acceptable. The requirement is that they are "permanently modified." If you are just inserting a block then there must be something else that is done so you can't just remove the block later. Many places will epoxy the baseplate so you most likely will destroy the body of the mag if you want to get the baseplate off. Other designs, such as the Hexmag 10/30 AR mag use a spacer on the baseplate which raises the spring seat higher and they supply a shortened spring. With this design, if you remove the spacer, the spring won't be long enough to put pressure on the rounds so it can't feed. Hexmag used to be shipped with removable baseplates and I have several of them. I found out a couple of years ago that Hexmag are now riveting the baseplate as well, for no explainable reason. The problem with getting blocks and installing them yourself, is you need to get the mags shipped somewhere outside of NJ where you can install them and make them permanent. If you're asking about getting them from the second link you posted, then adding the epoxy yourself to be sure you're legal, check the bottom of the description. They will add the epoxy FoC if you ask. For states that do not require the base sealed shut we can still epoxy it shut on request free of charge. Just let us know you would like it done.

The statute allows the Superintendent of NJSP to designate what forms need to be filled in and submitted with your application. They designed form SP.182a to achieve the requirement to determine the guns you intend to carry when you apply. The statute does not grant NJSP or a local PD the authority to require submission of any details of a gun you intend to carry outside of the application process. If you change your mind after you receive your permit and want to carry a gun that you did not originally list, there is no requirement for you submit an updated form, and no authority in the statute that allows NJSP or your PD to demand it. NB. If you have a Court issued permit that restricts you to carrying specific guns, you are still limited by that until the court order is amended (not going to happen) or you obtain a new permit. Almost all court issued permits will have expired by the end of this year.

I am only really concerned with a relatively consistent muzzle velocity that makes power factor for the competition division I'm loading for, and that the bullets don't keyhole. So long as they are good for 4" or so offhand at 25 yards, I'm fine with them.

No it doesn't. It says the FFL must notify NJSP immediately.

Unless you were a resident of PA at the time, that would have been an illegal transfer under Federal law. All inter-state transfers have to go through an FFL. For long guns that can be an FFL in either State. For handguns it must be an FFL in the receiving person's home State.

You're missing the point. Previously, the barrel and other metal parts made a gun detectable. The reason Glocks and similar guns have a metal insert which has the serial number stamped into it is to make them detectable. The issue is that the ATF wants to redefine what a gun is to include component parts other than the frame or receiver. This would mean that all those other components which were not previously a gun, are now defined as a gun. Therefore they would be illegal if they didn't also have a detectable element included in them.

A couple of years ago I went to WV for a class. Before I went I called US Law Shield to ask about the legality of an other down there. Their WV lead attorney called me back and I had to explain what a non-NFA Other was and why we had them. His advice was to remove the VFG while in WV which would turn it into a pistol as far as WV was concerned. He was unsure what it's status would be with the VFG still attached.

I have been to Chuck E Cheese exactly once when the kids were small. We got through the first door, no more than 4 feet. My then wife and I shared a look and immediately turned around.

Was this not covered in your use of force class that you took to get/keep your permit?

Why are you wanting to escalate the confrontation? In public, you have the duty to retreat if you know you can do so safely. The better course of action is to deescalate and remove yourself from the confrontation. If the aggressor pursues you and becomes an immediate threat of death or serious bodily harm, you are within your rights to draw your handgun and point it at them, firing a shot or shots if necessary. How do you expect to benefit from declaring having a gun? It seems like an alternative to saying "I know Kung-fu!"

This book has an interesting take on the aftermath of an EMP attack. There are three more books that follow on from this one - I'm reading the 2nd at the moment. https://a.co/d/7ZBD22I

Don't feel foolish - there are so many moving parts to all this that it is really hard to keep track of all of it - especially if you pay any attention to the fights going on in other States, too. It is more than a little concerning that there has been no effort to provide training for those of you who carry the responsibility of enforcing the minefield of NJ's weapons laws.

I believe that changed with Bruen. NJ will deny it and as far as I know it has not been tested in court, but both Heller and Bruen make it clear that lawful self defense is a lawful purpose with respect to possession of arms. NJ is also arguing that 2A only applies to arms that are used (actually fired) for self-defense. I think that clearly undermines any position that lawful self defense is excluded from the set of explainable lawful purposes.

The statute mentions only slingshots. It does not mention any detail of any type of slingshot or features it may or may not have. Stop thinking in terms of the firearms laws and admin code which are horribly complicated. By dreaming up complication, you are doing yourself a disservice.

Possession of a slingshot is only illegal without an explainable lawful purpose. There are any number of explainable lawful purposes, not least of which is lawful self defense.

An interesting experiment could be if you shoot a Glock predominantly, try switching to a non-glock with a dot and see if you find the dot as easily - or vice versa if you predominantly shoot a non-glock. The grip angle of a Glock is pretty much unique and demands a different index compared with most other guns. I would posit that you adapt more quickly with iron sights on the first iterations.

My main point was that you need to be more diligent with your practice if you choose a red dot. It is much less forgiving if you don't have a good index. If you practice to the point of unconscious competence, it doesn't matter - either is just a sighting system. You can be very effective using target focus with iron sights too - that's what all the hot guys in competition are doing these days. My eyes are just so bad now that I just see a very fuzzy outline of the back of the gun when target focused so the RDS is definitely better for me.

Thinking about it, I think the RPO in question is on dodgy ground. Costco's policy says Costco policy prohibits firearms and other weapons to be brought into the warehouse, except in the case of authorized law-enforcement officers. RPO is not a law-enforcement officer any more.

https://www.costco.com/member-privileges-conditions.html Look at the penultimate bullet point in the general policies near the bottom of the page. The also have an explanation of their position including getting a refund of your membership here: https://customerservice.costco.com/app/answers/answer_view/a_id/709 You are surprised NJ has firearms policy that is ridiculous?

There is nothing in the NJ statutes describing required signage. Other States do have such language. In the oral arguments, Angela Cai did indicate that the NJAG's office regards a policy posted on a company's web site is sufficient.
