A similar piece of advice I have been told: Don't argue with idiots. They will only drag you down to their level and beat you with experience Sent from my SCH-I800 using Tapatalk 2

Under NJ law a bb gun is treated the same as a real gun. If you possess it under one of the exemptions you do not need an FPID card. If you are transporting it uncased/unwrapped in the passenger compartment of a vehicle you need the card to be legal assuming it is a long gun and out is unloaded. If it is a bb pistol you are SOL if you don't have a permit to carry a handgun which we all know is as rare as rocking horse pucky. Sent from my SCH-I800 using Tapatalk 2

I can't drink beer at that speed! I wouldn't even taste it! Sent from my SCH-I800 using Tapatalk 2

If possession is illegal are we better off to make sure we give all of them to the bad guy at very high speed? Sent from my SCH-I800 using Tapatalk 2

The prohibition is for hollow point and dumdum bullets. Hornady Critical Defense/Duty are dumdums not HP. The same goes for EFMJ. Sent from my SCH-I800 using Tapatalk 2

I'm not a lawyer either but if you are justified in using lethal force, does it matter how you apply it? Sent from my SCH-I800 using Tapatalk 2

I suggested that to him and he said not a chance. I guess the lure of 700 * $25 is just too much to resist. If the GSSF stuff is geared to people new to competition I guess they can get away with it because the new guys and gals don't know that standing around for hours on end is not normal. I know I'm not going back. It's not like they even put much imagination into the stages - it's the same three every match. Just a quick calculation based on what the SOs kept saying - 5 minutes per shooter per stage: 2 days of 8 hours each = 16 hours of shooting. 12 shooters per hour = 192 shooters. They had 2 plate racks so could handle 2 shooters simultaneously so total capacity for the weekend would be 384. If they had 700+ sign-ups they are getting close to twice as many shooters as they could handle. The MD told me they had over 450 registrations on Wednesday. He should have closed entry then and let it be known that walk-ons could not be accommodated.

If it's the day you've had, color me ungrateful, but you can keep it. Sent from my SCH-I800 using Tapatalk 2

Oh boy! That was pretty much the whole day wasted. For some inexplicable reason the match director thinks it is a good idea to have no limit on the number of shooters regardless of the capacity of the range. He told me he had over 430 registrations on Wednesday but thought it would be a good idea to allow walkons anyway. He said he had about 360 shooters today. From what I could see that was about 160 too many. There were 3 "5 to Glock" bays, 3 "Glock M" bays and 2 plate racks. I arrived at 12:15, got signed in within 10 minutes and went to sign into each of the bays. Between 12:40 and 3:20 I did nothing but wait. At 3:20 I got to shoot "5 to Glock" (3 x 10 rounds). Then I waited some more but it was not so bad this time and I shot "Glock M" by 4:15. Then I went to the plate rack stage. There were 38 people waiting to shoot ahead of me some of whom had signed into the stage before 11am. At the RO estimated 5 minutes per shooter with 2 racks running that's a wait of another hour and a half. Therefore I wouldn't be done until after 6. 6 hours to shoot 3 stages is ridiculous. I gave up and left without completing the match and will not be going back. Sent from my SCH-I800 using Tapatalk 2

The fix is the same as when you learned to shoot strong hand supported - practice, practice and practice. Over time you have trained your strong hand to be able to manipulate the trigger with your index finger without changing the pressure applied with your other three fingers. Your left hand needs the same training. As already stated you may be snatching the trigger but my first guess would be "milking" the grip and anticipating recoil.

One more thing: I had to put the stock barrel back in to be able to enter competition. Almost anything goes in unlimited. Sent from my SCH-I800 using Tapatalk 2

Irishpete'sboss (nee wife) and I are heading out there Saturday morning. We've never shot a GSSF match before either. If you look on their web site http://gssfonline.com, scroll to the bottom. There is a link to backissues of their magazine and volume 2 has the rules. IIRC each division you enter you will need a minimum of 81 rounds but they suggest you bring 150. You can only shoot 2 divisions at a time at each stage before giving up the firing point to the next competitor. My glock is only eligible in competition and unlimited anyway so I'll just enter for the two. You do have to be a GSSF member and if you joined in the last 12 months you are eligible to enter the new shooter draw for a gun. If you turn up with someone they also get an entry in the draw for bringing a new shooter. If they also joined in three last year you can each get 2 entries by "bringing" the other. That's about as much as I remember from reading the rules last night. Sent from my SCH-I800 using Tapatalk 2

If you are a member of ANJRPC you have free access to the attorneys they have on retainer. Sent from my SCH-I800 using Tapatalk 2

It is a very large window. Glaziers charge extra for those Sent from my SCH-I800 using Tapatalk 2

I could only see that if your defense was that the gun went off by itself and you did not intend to fire the shot. If that's your defense you're probably SOL anyway. Sent from my SCH-I800 using Tapatalk 2

I don't think it has to be a DL at all. You need government issued photo ID. Maybe one of the FFLs can confirm, I think my Utah carry permit would be sufficient along with my FPID or PtPP (depending on whether I'm buying a long gun or pistol) as it has my picture and address. Sent from my SCH-I800 using Tapatalk 2

I have only done the bare minimum of mods to my guns that help me perform better in IDPA. Even in competition safety and reliability are paramount so I have no qualms using these for a social occasion should one occur. I do not have anything tacti-molon-labe-zombie-cool and thus avoid the character assassination some folks worry about. Sent from my SCH-I800 using Tapatalk 2

I'm a green card holder too. Your references must be US citizens which is a shame because I have been asked by several friends to act as referee for them but I have had to decline. They do not have to be NJ residents. As for the previous addresses I put my foreign ones with dates on a separate piece of paper and submitted that with the application.

Why should Ryan do it? He is not an attorney not has he played one while staying at a Holiday Inn Express (correct me if I'm wrong on that last bit, Ryan) Why don't you run a sting? Sent from my SCH-I800 using Tapatalk 2

I misremembered a little but you must apply for a duplicate card within 30 days of losing your FPID. NJAC 13:54-1.11 Duplicate firearms purchaser identification card (a) Persons shall apply for a duplicate firearms purchaser identification card to replace lost, stolen or mutilated card, or in case of a change of residence by the holder, within 30 days of such loss, theft, mutilation, or change of residence.

Another thought: They would know I had a carry permit. They can easily infer that I have pistols. It would only be the details of which one(s) that they would be missing from their records. If confiscation is the order of the day, that detail will most likely be irrelevant as they would probably arrest me anyway. Sent from my SCH-I800 using Tapatalk 2
