No... TMI is I'm three bourbons in and bring the blue pills and the gimp suit.

Jezuz man, I thought I told you, Wed nights only, my old lady is in the house tonight.

Don't forget the load bearing chest rig, basically lingerie for men, and a ballistic helmet with night vision goggles.

In the true tradition of New Jerseyness. This thread went from info about a simple first 22lr rifle to WW2 milsurp and $1.200.00 rifles. Peel, just get yourself a Cricket. or ... I dunno, a 50 BMG semi auto Barrett with a $2,500.00 Swaravski scope too... whatever. Just as absurd. Seriously. Keep it simple. A basic (not necessarily cheap or inaccurate, just BASIC) 22lr bolt action rifle is ideal for learning how to shoot a rifle.

I think this has been answered but to be clear.... The rifle permit is not to own or carry a rifle, it is a FG&W permit to hunt with a rifle. It is an add on to the firearms hunting license, which up until a couple years ago, was shotgun only.

34 out of 35 but it was a stupid quiz. There were multiple answers for some of the questions that technically could have been correct.

While I agree that Skinner peep sights are a big improvement, I'd like to add that lever actions are basically minute of squirrel or minute of deer guns. A lever gun is generally regarded as a working gun or hunting gun. Don't get me wrong, I love lever actions, I have a very nice Marlin 39D that I very much enjoy shooting with open sights. In fact, it's the only gun with stock open sights that I can shoot half way decent with my less than 20-20 vision, It's a great gun for plinking, but not exactly a precision instrument. Since we are talking about rimfire rifles and carbines, I don't see Peel eating squirrel or possum, so maybe a bolt action is a better choice. She seems very intent on hitting the x ring every time. This is not to say that a lever 22lr is not capable of making ragged holes, I just happen to think that a bolt gun would be a better choice for a first 22 than anything else. But that's just my opinion.

Well, I ended up going to a small place n BRICK. Bought a 2014 Whirlpool Elite series washer in 90% condition. Installed it today and it works good.

^^^ This The RAR Rimfire is an excellent rifle and it will not break the bank. It also comes in a reconfigurable stock to adjust length of pull to accommodate shooters of variable stature. It even comes in a Talo Muddy Girl.

Shout outs Peel... They are called shout outs.

Two things to take away from the incident. #1 Australia already had a very low gun violence crime rate. Their culture and demographics are completely different than here in the USA. It's not fair to compare Ozzy land with the USA. As much as I hate to admit this, they are nicer more decent people who live in a mostly homogeneous society. To say that their gun control worked is like saying "I changed the oil in my honda and it still runs great". #2 This was not a "mass shooting. It was a murder suicide. A mass shooting is when someone walks into a public place (school, theater, concert etc...) and starts shooting indiscriminately. The perp may have a "cause" or some insane reason for the shooting, but they are not intimately familiar with their victims.

This is patently untrue. I, with mine own eyes, have personally witnessed you breaking at least three clays in flight. That is proof positive you have the ability, you just need to do what you did the three times more often.

Yeah, there is no bias in the media. The article, by omission, makes it appear that Ruger does not make anything but handguns and ARs. In fact, the majority of Ruger's long gun sales are bolt action RAR's and RPR's. Not to mention the #1 is probaby the most popular single shot rifle out there. Granted, the 10/22 is the most popular semi auto 22 rifle in America, but it's hardly an assault rifle.

I'm in.

Good point. I keep forgetting they test fps out of rifles. But still, 1400fps is more than enough to put a lot of hurt on a BG.

Since you want another "home defense" gun, just to have, I suggest you get one that you may enjoy shooting from time to time. On another forum where revolvers are very popular, I've read tons of threads by older folks that enjoy carrying 22 mag revos. I know you wont be carrying but the philosophy is the same. You don't need a desert eagle to interrupt a home invasion or a mugger. The odds of encountering a 300 pound home invader wearing eight layers of clothing all hopped up on PCP is slim to none. Most crimes are perpetrated by bitch ass punks that run just at the sight of the would be victim being armed. You would be better off with something you can control. A 22 mag is very controllable and would not be a drag to put a hundred rounds through at the range. In fact, it could actually be....fun. As far as stopping power, well, it's not going to blow a fist sized hole in a home invader, but the rightt bullet will do the job, and there will be less brains to clean off the walls. With a 2200fps muzzle velocity, it should be just as effective inside 15 yards as a .223 bullet is at 250 yards, which is extremely lethal. If you are not interested in a revolver, there are several excellent options available in 22 mag semi auto pistolas.

No....... Just, no.

Can anyone recommend a used appliance shop in Monmouth or Ocean Co. I'm looking for an old school electro-mechanical washing machine.

Actually, using this newfangled science called physics, speed can be determined pretty accurately Conversely, the other driver can't prove speed either. She can say the door flung open, but she can't prove it.. I'm a bit confused. Did the car hit the door on the outside panel or on the edge (where you'd find the door latch) and pushed it open too far? If the other driver hit the door on the outside, while your wife's car door was partially open, that means the other driver was at an acute angle to the empty space. So, how far open was the door before the other driver pulled in? I would find out if the suit (case) has actually been filed in county court. This may be a BS phishing scheme by some shyster to sweat you for a settlement. If it has not been filed, I would do nothing, not even send a reply to the shyster.

I would agree with you if it were not for this. NJ never did away with an AWB, we always had one. So, rifles built on an AR lower are already featureless, except for the pistol grip. Under the definition of NJ law, a rifle built on an AR lower with no other feature, except the pistol grip is not an assault weapon. Now they want to narrow that definition down to all the listed features, including a pistol grip, which almost all rifles in common use have. only very old straight stocked lever actions and rolling blocks don't have pistol grips. Even a Ruger mini-14 and a Springfield 1903A3 has a pistol grip. The end game dems are going for is an all out ban on semi auto rifles. That won't win if it gets to SCOTUS. Hopefully RBG will croak soon and we can get another constitutional juror on the bench.

NJ already has an AWB in place. The problem they have is the neutered rifles built on the AR lower receiver, according to their own laws, do not fit into the category of assault weapons. They are stuck between a rock and a hard place. They want to redefine what an assault weapon is, again. The only remaining "evil" feature is the pistol grip, which they really cannot say is a military feature, since rifles have had pistol grips for at least a hundred years and have been in common use.

Bonus!

Welcome to the forum. You have excellent taste in handguns. I've shot a Shadow and it's magical. One of the very few handguns I can shoot half way decent.

Does the AR have to be a stereotypical AR?

^ ^ ^ ^ I have no response to this. But I totally dig the tiger stripe motif. In black and OD, it's my favorite camo pattern
