kinda on topic here... I had an assignment in high school called the "Opressive Ruler Tournament" where we each had to advocate that our historical character was the most evil. I was assigned Ghengis Khan. My presentation made Hitler look like a Rabbi. The point is that you need to be open to thought in order to think and debate. You could argue that Sharia law would eliminate adulatory and petty theft while solving the prison population issue.

It's your system too, fellow citizen! You have every right to fix it and every duty to speak up when someone fails you by it. Let me know if you want any help to proofread that letter. I'm serious.

You may find more about the cougar if you search for it as the Beretta 8000. It's a predecessor to the PX4 and a nice comparable to the 92FS and CZ75.

Nappen is the guy you want. Period.

The NRA just blasted this on their Facebook page. Glad to see them spreading the word!

There is NO fee for extensions.

Ok, thanks for the link. They clearly state "Not a Flash Hider" at the bottom, so they are representing the product as such. I'd think that's all you need to lean on since this puppy seems to be the same thing they sell as a flash hider Maybe you want to send them this link with a nice note on how " antireflecive coating does not a flash hider make" "A flash hider works by efficiently mixing the air and the unburnt powder at the end of the muzzle in such a way that there is no flash. To understand exactly how it does that requires a mixture of fluid dynamics and chemistry..." http://www.thetruthaboutguns.com/2013/12/foghorn/ask-foghorn-whats-the-difference-between-a-muzzle-brake-a-compensator-and-a-flash-hider/

I thought they said it was NOT a flash hider in the description of this product. Am I missing something here?

Zeke just earned +100 internet points. The cat is barely out of the bag and is nearly skinned already...

Wow, that is an excellent point.

Good point. The KSG bullpup shotgun can hold 14 rounds of 12 gauge in 2 3/4. Aguilla be has minishells at 1 3/4, the KSG can hold 22.

Get in there and speak up for yourself! I have kept a date log of each time I've applied. Keep the pressure.

This. I think you're right on track. Can't look a gift horse in the mouth...

This is the "death by 1,000 cuts" philosophy turned back around on the gun control advocates. The strategy makes perfect sense to me. Seems a rather pragmatic approach toward getting momentum in such a liberal state.

Has anyone looked at the other bills this guy has sponsored? Seems he is on the normal side of the fence. I'm thinking there is something more going on with this story. http://www.njleg.state.nj.us/bills/BillsBySponsor.asp

Is there a code to get the $5 shipping? Edit- never mind, it popped up at checkout. Thanks!

I believe the online part is for Criminal History Record Check. The county "hold up" is most definitely the mental health check. I heard the same excuse from Hoboken and Hudson County. I ended up calling the county mental health office to find out what was taking so long. I doubt it helped but I did speak with an NRA instructor in the office who taught classes at the Bayonne range!

Not everyone is going to like firearms, but this lady gave it a try and helped shed some of the stigma. I say good for her! I also saw this article imbedded in the page. It lays out a few facts and doesn't seem to lean on any editorial opinions for closure. Not so bad. http://www.nj.com/politics/index.ssf/2016/01/things_to_know_about_nj_gun_laws.html#incart_article_small

It's a leap, but see the TX purse snatch example above. I should really not opine further though...

Sure, and here's the punt: I was just offering to pull relevant text. But I'll pitch this up for thought: What's the reason behind use of deadly force in various property scenarios? Is it that the aggressor is seeking to harm you or implies the threat of harm? I'd contest that any crime against property is a threat of a crime against your person. I have no further opinion on how NJ's law is applied or interpreted.

No, in fact it would show that "An actor within a dwelling shall be presumed to have a reasonable belief in the existence of the danger." puts a rather clear hurdle in front of any prosecutor who tried to charge someone defending themselves or their possessions within their home. I don't read it to state that you can chase someone down the street, but it seems clear that having your house robbed gives the presumption that you are in danger and which opens the window to use deadly force. (Insert the 'I am not a lawyer' disclaimer here)

Maybe you used to kick for the Buffalo Bills... Deadly Force is permitted in defense of property when Force will not suffice. http://law.justia.com/codes/new-jersey/2013/title-2c/section-2c-3-6/

My TX CHL instructor gave an interesting example for the rationale behind defense of property. Say your attractive wife is mugged in a parking lot. Inside her purse is $500 cash, a Gucci purse and AMEX and your home address. Now, this thief thinks "wow, this lady is rich! I bet she has more where this came from." So he robs your house. Unfortunately, your wife is home alone because you're out on business. Not believing that his luck will work twice in his favor, he decides to leave no witnesses. Dramatized, perhaps, but it hit home for me because my wife's purse was stolen a year before.

Not to agitate, but TX recognizes that defense of property is reason to use deadly force. You can even use deadly force if you find someone robbing your neighbor's house while he is away. Obviously, each state is different. Would I flinch in that situation? Probably.

Sounds like a fun experience. Any recommendations for what kind of prerequisite courses would help with this class? I've never learned to draw and wouldn't want to get into a class that's over my head.
