  1. I'm never going to Taco Bell again.
  2. It's not just airsoft. If anything that resembles a gun, 1920's cap gun, non-functional replica, etc is used in the commission of a crime, weapons charges will ensue because the perp is using said item to give the impression of having a real gun. If you want to stretch it to the extreme, if you loaded a rubber band in your fingers and pointed it at a cop's face, there will be charges (and probably a beat down) because the rubber band is being used as a weapon.
  3. From the NJSP web site. https://www.njsp.org/firearms/firearms-faqs.shtml Since airsoft is not considered a firearm, they are not subject to firearms laws. However, I do recall reading about the projectile weight being a factor in the decision to classify airsoft as toys. Something about the amount of energy in Joules yada yada. It was not specific to airsoft, but to all toy firearms in general. By NJs strict definition, the above image would require a FPID and a P2P.
  4. Plastic is part of it, but the weight is also a factor. The beads need to be under a certain weight. I bought a couple high capacity 50 shot "assault" shotguns at Lowes a few weeks ago. Dangerous things they are, pistol grip, 50 round capacity. Though NJ tries to make EVERYTHING illegal, they pick their battles. Under the strictest interpretation of the law, my Bug-a-Salt gun is a firearm. Nobody is going to convict a homeowner for shooting flies with table salt. Nobody is going to convict kid for playing cops and robbers with airsoft in their back yard. It would be ridiculous and the state knows that is a bridge too far.
  5. Ammoseek returned 20 vendors with 22tcm available right now. Seems the price is about forty to forty five cents per round.
  6. Check out gun mag warehouse... gunmagwarehouse.com. They seem to have one of pretty much everything They carry a substantial inventory of state restricted magazines.
  7. You probably like em because it makes shooting indoors or at night look like you are using a blaster from Star Wars. I imagine you quietly mouthing "pew, pew, pew" during training.
  8. Dunno if I'd call it a fallback. If you deploy the taser from 5' away and the prongs don't stick, then you'd have to close the distance between you and the attacker. At least with the Byrna, the user has an opportunity to follow up. I'd also be interested to know if the pepper balls will rupture if the attacker is wearing a puffy winter coat. A tee shirt, no problem with taser or pepper balls. Which leads to this. The conditions that are optimal for either device (light clothing), also make concealment more difficult as the user will likely also be in light clothing.
  9. All I know is Jerry Miculek needs to do a video with this ammo.
  10. Dunno if the morons in Trenton can tell the difference between this chemically luminescent tracer and military incendiary tracers. So....
  11. Indeed, if it is carelessly concealed, it can be spotted. The idea of concealed carry is... well, concealment. If I'm not mistaken, even accidental exposure of a legally carried concealed weapon could be considered brandishing. My issue with the Byrna is it's bulky, which would make concealment difficult, not necessarily impossible, but difficult. So that's a deal breaker for us DPRNJ peons. Even this could be misidentified as a handgun when the Adrenalin is pumping. It also looks to be equally difficult to conceal as the Byrna.
  12. There is no magic solution for SD, regardless of what one may be carrying. Even if we could CC in NJ, that does not guarantee surviving an encounter unscathed. Anything one can do that is practical, imo, should be practiced. I often carry OC pepper spray. I have no idea how it will help me if I'm in a tight spot, but it's better than nothing.
  13. The kinetic rounds are no joke, they will bring some pain. The OC pepper balls are also very effective. The object of this device is NOT to win a gun fight, but to afford an opportunity for escape when cornered. Maybe with one of these launchers, your odds are at best 50/50. But I can tell ya one thing. Without something like it, the odds are pretty much zero.
  14. It's a "launcher", not a gun.
  15. AGM is top tier gear for sure, built rugged and the battery life is impressive. AGMs seem to be a bit more compact too. But, that price tag, ouch!
  16. which one? The link shows all the AGM therms. I'm very pleased with my ATN Thor4 640 5-25x. I also opted for the Bluetooth enabled ABL that instantly provides distance to target. It a million times better and faster than manually entering a guesstimated distance. Press range finding button, boom, reticle is auto adjusted. The entire package cost me about $4,300.00.
  17. They object to whole house back up systems, but there is noting they can do about UPSs. Instead of one large single point battery bank, get several UPSs and hook up to critical things like lights, computers, network gear. It's not a perfect solution, but it covers some important basics and requires no action if the lights go out. Even if one did install a large battery bank, it's not like they draw a lot of current. Once they are fully charged, they don't use much current at all. The initial charge could easily be hidden by using a low Amperage charger, a one or two amp charger would do the trick. If it's only used during outages, I don't see how there could be any complaints.
  18. Blood is 79% water. Jus say'n.
  19. We got about 5-6 inches by exit 105
  20. Storm preparations complete.
