Gunbroker - experiences, and gotchas to look out for first time buyer?
The only time I have used GB so far was a smooth process with a gun store in WVa. The only thing I should have done was make sure USPS put tracking on the MO I sent a it took just over a week to get there and I started to get nervous after 4 days. All worked out OK though. I picked up a NIB XD45 tactical bi-tone for $425. Sent from my SCH-I800 using Tapatalk 2

iPhone 6+ vs .50 cal
The next question that really needs to be answered is how many iPhone 6's are needed to halt a 50BMG round? That'll really put the apple fan boys into a spin

Why is it called a semi-automatic?
...and apart from the color, blue and green are the same.

Why is it called a semi-automatic?
It is a distinction between what causes the next round to be made ready to be fired. A DA revolver requires manual effort by the shooter to index the cylinder and cock the hammer before the next round can be fired. A semi-auto does that by its self utilizing the energy from the last round fired so only a trigger press to release the hammer/striker is necessary. A full-auto does not even require and additional trigger press. This is not rocket science

The Star-Ledger advocates mandatory confiscation of New Jersey guns
In NJ they would throw you in jail for not having a manufacture's license. Sent from my SCH-I800 using Tapatalk 2

The Star-Ledger advocates mandatory confiscation of New Jersey guns
Is there an NJ paper worth getting? We currently have a minimal subscription to the SL because we need something to wrap the cat litter. It's sort of a fitting use for the SL but I'd rather not keep giving them money.

SCFGPA (Milltown Rd in Bridgewater) Not accepting members for 3 years?

Your First Shot
By NJ standards it was a break barrel pellet gun around age 10 in our back yard. By everyone elses' standards it was a High Standard .22 at age 18 at the local range.

Your home is your castle AND defendable in...Nebraska
NJ is not "duty to retreat" if you are inside your home, the aggressor is coming towards you and you are in fear for your life or bodily harm. I can't remember if the aggressor must be inside too, but I think (s)he does. Sent from my SCH-I800 using Tapatalk 2

Defensive Shooting Drills for a Static Range
Another one to work on is reload drills. Load three mags, put two on your belt and one in the gun. Fire two shots and then do a tac load with one from your belt. Fire two more and repeat the tac load followed by two more shots. For ranges that don't allow drawing from a holster start from a retention hold. Replace the partial mags onto your belt and do it again. To mix it up put slightly different numbers of rounds in your mags at the start. By the time you've run it a few times you don't know which mag is which and you'll unexpectedly come to a slidelock reload when you're expecting a tac load.

Help with handguard length
I'm going to replace the handguard on my RRA Operator. I like the look of the AP carbon fiber because it is so light. http://nordiccomp.com/retail/shop/ap-custom-products/ap-custom-carbon-fiber-handguards/ I'm uncertain how long to go with it. The 12" will be just a little too short for me to go with a fully extended arm and over hand grip but the 15" will only be about an inch short of the muzzle brake. Is that going to be too close? The brake is the tactical muzzle brake shown here http://www.rockriverarms.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=category.display&category_id=276 What do you guys think?

What's the question? He's already done it and would be best served by never discussing it in a public forum. eta: EVER!

That's a mighty amount of overtime. The way you wrote it I got the impression you thought he might not attempt an arrest.

Unclaimed property notice. Hmmm, lets see what it is
You're lucky they put it in the paper. I would have expected the list to be "on display in the bottom of a locked filing cabinet stuck in a disused lavatory with a sign on the door saying 'Beware of the Leopard'." They would be much more likely to be able to keep the goods due to being unclaimed that way. Good luck, whatever it is. Sent from my SCH-I800 using Tapatalk 2

where to find more training
I'm not aware of anything that gets national recognition like NRA instructor does that is available to the public. I shoot with a NJ State Trooper who is an instructor for the state police but I guess he had to do extra training at the police academy for that. The NRA instructor course comes in two parts. First is Basic Instructor Training (BIT) which teaches you how to teach. Then you do the discipline specific course which teaches you what to teach. BIT is useful whether you are teaching an NRA curriculum or anything else. Once you have an NRA instructor rating you can self teach NRA RSO. Sent from my SCH-I800 using Tapatalk 2
