You're lucky to have a range like that in your backyard, welcome!

Still would be a great survey to cite when writing our legislators/governor on 10 round mag limits.

This is what I'm thinking. Assuming everyone votes by party line, I don't think there are enough votes to override a Governor veto.

Because I'm home with a shoulder injury, I have nothing better to do than to look up the numbers. Of course, if the Perruta ruling stands, or the Supreme Court rules in favor of CCW, it means nothing really. http://www.digital-topo-maps.com/county-map/california.shtml Red/Yellow states: 70.4% of population Light green states: 10.3% of population And if the off chance anyone else was looking at Riverside County, it appears they've recently been more likely to approve CCWs, but browsing through Calguns, it isn't clear that the average person citing purely self defense as their just cause would have gotten approval.

I'm talking about population, not area. It's great that Inyo, Tulare, and Kern county are shall issue, and I'm sure that combined population of 45 people that live there are proud to not have their right to carry infringed. I'm also curious about the accuracy of that map. A move to Riverside county might possibly in my future, and I could have sworn looking into the Riverside County sherriff's website and seeing a lot of "may issue" language.

True, but those "few" counties probably represent 90% of the residents of the state.

Anthony at Woodland Park Range has already announced that full auto rentals will be coming soon.

500 round still showing as in stock. Too bad I don't have any interest in it (just checking the thread to see what the fuss was all about )

There's a Pierce grip extension available if you're interested http://www.pearcegrip.com/Products/Smith%20&%20Wesson/PG-MPS I had that same problem with an XDs, and bought a Shield without first shooting it. Fortunately, I don't get the same problem.

They warn that popular guns can sell out fast and they aren't kidding around. I was in the market for a Mossberg 930 JM Pro for a while. If I didn't check the site immediately after getting the stockwatch notification, it'd be gone. I'd basically have a 5-10 minute window. As an FYI, if you input an NJ zip code, it will refuse to show you a quote for non-NJ compliant guns.

Someone on facebook (I think NJ2AS) mentioned the idea of raising money to hire someone to dig up dirt on Sweeney. I'd so contribute money toward that.

Wow, only one complaint on the paddle release. It's interesting that the M1 seems to be so popular on the internet, yet Walther saw fit to go to the trouble of developing a traditional thumb release model. Even acknowledging that internet forum participants are a small percentage of gun owners, you'd think they'd similarly reflect the larger population. For me, it isn't just a slight rotation, I have to literally flip guns counter clockwise in my grip to be able to reach a thumb release. I'm interested to trying out the paddle to see if I can get around that. I think I'll give the M1 a shot and practice with it for a bit. They seem to be popular enough of a gun that if I decide that it isn't for me and get rid of it, I hopefully won't take too big of a hit on it, and might even be able to do a trade with an M2 owner.

$369 for the base and $506 for the tactical model, including tax! Do the skeletonized hammer and trigger have a practical benefit, or is it just aesthetic? edit: Sorry, guess it was the Eagle Rare bourbon, but I was wrong and the transfer fees and taxes are extra.

I'm leaning toward a PPQ on my next set of permits. I've had my eye on it for a while and had decided on the M1 with the euro mag release because of my short fingers. I had rented a H&K P30 a while ago and there was something natural feeling to me about the trigger finger actuated mag release. I had dismissed the argument that you shouldn't use your trigger finger to release a magazine since I figured it wouldn't be loaded anyways. But I've been taking tactical pistol classes that include "tactical reload" drills, i.e, changing your magazine with a fresh one while still having a round in the chamber, and now I wonder if an accidental discharge becomes a greater possibility as I'm unlikely to impress people with my grace and finesse. Not to mention every other gun I have will use the thumb mag release so I wonder if it's going to be a training issue.

You just try and do a good deed and see what happens

If you don't mind driving an extra 45 min west, you can pick up 1,200 rounds of PMC 9mm 115gr for $345 at Cabela's. http://www.slickguns.com/product/pmc-9mm-1200-rounds-dry-box-499?subscription=ammo

Other than the marketplace here, there's armlist and gunbroker.Also, you can try signing up for forums dedicated to your particular gun, e.g. if you're selling a Sig Sauer, sign up on the sigforum or sigtalk marketplaces. Keep in mind that if you sell your guns to a retail store, they need to make money on it too, so you're going take a big hit on price.

Interesting, I guess it's been happening for a while: http://www.webpronews.com/groupon-is-going-to-offer-gun-deals-again-2013-07 I don't know if it was regret over unwarranted demonization of the gun industry, or things are getting tough and they need to make a buck even if it means compromising their "values". While I didn't care for their decision, I think groupon and living social are the best ways to introduce new people to gun ownership given their wide reach.

Had a P226 in my cart earlier this evening, but couldn't find my credit card to check out. Finally found it later, and now all sold out

Hill Country has the best BBQ I've ever tasted in my life. And while I can't claim to have BBQ connossieur credentials, the place was originally recommended to me by someone that grew up in Texas (if that means anything to you). The moist brisket is excellent, and don't bother with the lean brisket. The boneless prime rib is good, but I don't think worth the price premium over the moist brisket. The place is kind of expensive, and you're talking somewhere around $20/lb for meat served on butcher paper. I recall there being all-you-can-eat nights if it fits into your schedule.

Applied for 3 permits with existing FID in Clifton (Passaic County) in early December, received in 9 weeks.

Just do a search on gunbroker for guns with capacities > 10. You'll have a list of about 2.7 zillion (plus or minus 0.3 zillion). If you want them concerned about their constituents, they need to see people losing elections, or at least experiencing closer elections.

No experience myself, but I came pretty close to getting the SXP Marine Defender (18" barrel with interchangeable chokes) to try and use as a combo HD and casual clay gun, but ended up going in another direction. If it matters to you, aftermarket accessories can be tough, with ATI being the only maker of aftermarket stocks that I could find.

It's an equivalent course, geared towards someone that's never fired a gun before. As an FYI, the pictures are somewhat misleading. While I believe they hold their long gun courses at an outdoor range (somewhere in upstate NY I think), this class is held in a basement-like indoor range.

If you're looking to do an intro to handgun course on a budget, this is an option. The instructors are friendly, it's half the price of GFH, easy to sign up on short notice, and they give you a few free range sessions to use afterwards. Minuses: it isn't exactly the most luxurious range and you'll only shoot .22lr caliber. http://www.dealchicken.com/north-jersey-nj/35205
