A more plausible, legal and rational solution, I expect many out of state storage units will be leased.

People will eat anything if they are hungry enough. I'm not that hungry.

Marty, You may be suffering from information overload, it's fairly common with first time builders.. There are a lot of products out there (most of them good) that can be mixed and matched into virtually an infinite number of combinations. Every product will have some less than glamorous reviews, anything that has four stars or better will be just fine and if you end up getting a part that was machined on a friday by a noob at beer:30, well, shit happens and the company you bought it from will likely make it right with an RMA. You can burn yourself out overthinking this project. Just get on with it already.

I've been doing a bit of research on the subject of freedom of speech and social media. The issue is far more complicated than the scope of the discussion in this thread. 1st, Google and youtube are public traded corporations, so they do not enjoy the same things that private companies may. 2nd, google and youtube are de facto utilities, the way they are regulated is a quagmire of bureaucracy . 3rd, Because social media communications cross state lines, the companies are subject to a massive heap of federal regulation. These three things don't even scratch the surface of how complex this issue is. Think of it like this. Youtube and facebook are communications mediums. Although the methods of communication are different than POTS (plain old telephone service) they are essentially the same as far as regulation is concerned. The telephone company cannot refuse service to a person or business as long as the communications are for lawful purposes.. If I, as a private citizen, want to sell a firearm to another private citizen, and I communicate with a buyer over the telephone, then lets say some executive at the phone company somehow found out I was conducting this lawful transaction, but did not like it because they are anti gun, the telco cannot terminate my service. While we have been bickering over the low hanging fruit of freedom of speech vs private corps, there is much tastier fruit higher up in the tree. A good team of lawyers with a billion dollar budget could make a case against google/youtube and FB for their TOS. The phone company cannot put in their TOS that you cant talk about firearms, thustly, neither can YT. The world of social media and how it is regulated is evolving and what one may believe to be true today, correctly or not, may not be true tomorrow..

Well, ya say that but, private entities can't put a whites only sign at a diner or deny jews internet service or hold someone prisoner in the basement of a private security firm nor can a corporation deny employment to people based on a whole litany of things like gender, religion, race etc. All of these rights and laws are based on the BoR. You see, the constitution protects our rights not just from the government, it also protects us from people and corporations, which are also people. go figure. Private entities cannot deny anyone their constitutional rights, but some do, and get away with it too. btw, dont be a douche bag and tell me what I need to do, you sound like a snarky little prick with a chip on his shoulder. If you have a problem with my argument, go after my argument, not me. then it becomes personal. toodaloo.

PSA quality ranges from below average, but functional to above average and desirable. You can build a working rifle with any part they sell. The problem I have with PSA is their quality is sometimes unpredictable. The first NiB BCG I got from them was perfect, I mean really perfect. The second one I got from PSA was functional but it had burs, a small chip in the NIB in a place that doesn't matter (a non contact surface) and a tiny lump in the carrier. Nothing to make it not work but It had blems and was sold as a 1st quality. And of course, there was the stripped upper that I had to toss aside because it was out of spec and unsuitable for a precision rifle. That upper lives on a range toy now. Don't get me wrong, I love PSA and use them often, but when I need a top quality part, like a precision stripped upper to build a precision rifle on, I go to to BCM or even Aero Precision.

Dunno if I'd trust a blem item for a SHTF gun. I ordered a PSA blem stripped upper for a build. Could not find a single blem on it, It looked beautiful. Then I went to mount the barrel. It was wobbly as hell. The "blem" is that the reciever was out of spec. Caveat emptor. I used NiB BGs for my builds, not for the so called self lubrication but because they are super easy to clean. Carbon wipes off with just a towel. I kinda like the contrast of silver against the black too. I dont think that NiB offers any real performance or reliability advantage over the standard melonite Anyway, SHTF has to work 100% of the time, Fun guns don't so you can take a chance on a blem. Take it fwiw.

It would be nice if one of our legislators, one with a modicum of actual common sense, would introduce a bill removing the M1 carbine from the banned list. This historic collectible carbine has become a political prisoner and needs to be set free.

This move accomplishes two things. 1) it's an obvious political move by the liberals to further marginalize the 2A community. 2) It narrows the paths which private commerce may be conducted to make it easier for three letter agencies to track sales. A possible third is to protect FB from bad press, just in case some gangbanger kills someone with a firearm they acquired via FB.

That, or perhaps we are 600% more efficient in arriving at the correct conclusion. If anything, we are OVER achievers here

I like it, but I don't trust it. Two wolves and a lamb...democrats.... you get the picture. I especially do not like that any citizen who does not take kindly to you can fabricate some story and have your permit revoked. I'm guessing initial permit costs will be around $500. It would be nice if they also included a NICS waiver for CCW holders. if 50,000 apply the license fee alone will generate a $2.5million slush fund, after costs. $50 to the agencies, $50 to the slush fund. god only knows how much can be made from fees and kickbacks from training.

This is a trap, an unconstitutional one at that. They want you to surrender your 4A right, and if you say no then you are suspect. The fallacious argument is that if you have nothing to hide then why not let them in. What can LE possibly gain by entering your home that they cannot see from the street? It's not like the address is an imaginary structure, your DL, utility bills, mortgage or lease should be more than enough. Most people are scared little sheep and they will allow LE to enter their home. Instead they take the easy path, which means letting someone walk all over you. Choice A, kowtow and let LE in your home for a dubious inspection or B, have it turn into a costly fiasco. And that my friend(s) is why NJ is the second worst state for gun owners, because most sheep will just stand thee and take it up the rear end from their supposed shepherds. People with nothing to hide should not have to prove that fact.

Okay, let me put this in the simplest form. Can a person who has been formally denied an FID or duplicate FID legally possess a firearm?

It may be argued that, if one is not able to obtain an initial FID or have a duplicate FID issued for any administrative reason, and if they are known to be in possession of firearms, then the municipality may decide that the person is ineligible to possess firearms. That's all I'm say'n. For example: I know I can legally inherit, possess and transport my dead granpappys shotty within the very narrow confines of Newjerseystan's laws without an FID. But... If I have said shotty in my possession and the coppers are aware that I possess said shotty, and then for any reason (right or wrong) the copper in charge decides I am ineligible to possess an FID, then from that they may construe that I am ineligible to possess any firearms and they may come a knock'n with some confiscat'n in mind..

If your new twp has denied a change of address then you are at serious and imminent risk of having the cops visit you any day now to confiscate your firearms. You technically do not possess a valid FID atm. You need to act quickly.

Don't skimp on the barrel, get the best one you can afford that is suited for your rifles purpose in life. It is the foundation of your build. $300 trigger $150 Upper receiver, $250 free float handguard, $200 BCG and a $85 crap barrel = crap rifle. Get the right twist rate for the ammo you will shoot the most. If you are going to shoot cheap 55gr M193 and/or 62gr M855 then get a 1:9. .

So, I'm curious about this now. I don't own handguns but I'm interested to find out if a workaround could be accomplished. Let's say I have a service based business where I have several customers and I travel to the customer. The law seems to indicate I cannot carry there because it's not my business or building im servicing. So, let's say I work out a deal with my customer where I lease (or sublet) a room in their building to store supplies and do a bit of paperwork. Now, it becomes "my place of business". I wonder if in this situation I could carry as long as there is nothing in the lease to disallow it.

Crazy dangerous, perform at your own risk. Shoot some cold start spray (aerosol ether) into the tire, just a squirt, and light a match. FOOM! Bead set, tire inflated.

I feel the same about my Legacy. Another 50HP would make it a fun car, 100HP more would make it a riot. It's probably one of the best handling cars I've owned.

The Subaru (Legacy) did well. Dunno about it going through anything, it's only about 6" off the road. Talking about cars that would go through anything. My mom had a 64 Caddy Eldorado, front wheel drive. My dad used to plow through three foot drifts in that thing. He called it the Juggernaut.

Around here there is about 2" after the plow passed about 2 hours ago. We are dug out and I dug out two neighbors as well. I'm going to take a ride around the block. I really REALLY need to test out the AWD on my new (to me) Subaru.

Has anyone been out on the road yet? The plow came through my street about an hour ago, which is unusual since my town waits till the end of the storm to clear roads. This means one of two things. The snow is about to stop (fat chance) or they expect a lot more and are getting ahead of it before it's too much to handle.

Not the same kind of shareholder. WM is a public company, most ranges are private. Your WM shares are common shares, employee owned shares are ESOP. Respectively, the main distinction is investment vs actual ownership.
