^^^^^^^This^^^^^^ So if I have a crazy ex, and she calls the cops a bunch of times saying all sorts of nonsense, they respond and find no evidence to substantiate her crazy bullshit, I can still lose my rights for no reason at all? Are you insane? All she would have to do is call them repeatedly until she found a sympathetic (and/or stupid) cop just to ruin my life.

There is nothing unethical about following the law as written. The law is the law, and you are either following it, or breaking it. The term loophole is just used by the anti gun crowd to portray us as sneaky law breakers who need to be stopped. But what are we doing wrong? Reading and understanding the laws that govern our interest in firearms, then (gasp!!!) staying within those laws. We should all be jailed immediately for being responsible citizens!

No one wants to discuss this with you because Mast's "points" have no basis in reality. If you could make every gun on the entire planet disappear, all you would be doing is turning a school shooter into a school bomber, or a school arsonist, or a guy who drove a truck through a school. You wouldn't be solving the problem, because you would still be left with an angry, deranged, hateful person wanting to hurt someone. Are we trying to stop school shootings only, or do we want all school violence/revenge/infamy crimes to stop? Banning guns in this situation is like discovering a leaking sewer pipe in your basement, and just putting a bucket under it. You may not have shit on the floor anymore, but that bucket is going to get full eventually. What are you going to do then, not shit at home anymore? Lug buckets of shit around your house? NO, YOU ARE GOING TO FIX THE PIPE! We need to treat the problem, not the symptom!

I always thought the same thing, that it couldn't be legal. But, how many times have we all heard that a drug dealer got busted selling to undercover cops. Seems like the same thing. If they can pose as drug buyers, why not gun sellers? I'm not a lawyer, but they must have some sort of leeway in order to do it. Or maybe they are just assholes, I don't know.

2 years ago, I was at a very popular gun show many of us have gone to in PA. I came up to a table with a bunch of older revolvers, which I find interesting but not enough to buy one (I'm just into other stuff). There was an older guy behind the table. At one point he told me in a low voice, that it was his private collection so no paperwork was needed, if I wanted something we could make a cash deal. I told him I was just looking, and revolvers weren't my thing, then left. I didn't really think anything of it. I figured it was some old dude who didn't know the law, and I wasn't buying anything anyway, so no big deal. Later on that evening when I was leaving the show I stopped at the taco bell just down the road from the venue. The same old guy, wearing the same clothes, pulled up in a PA State Police SUV marked "Supervisor", and ordered some food. Obviously he was a cop. Bottom line, don't buy stuff without the proper paperwork and procedures. It might be the cops trying to bust you!

Anything that proves ownership would count. COE, sales receipt, permit paperwork, relative's Will giving you ownership. You just need to establish that you had this firearm in the first place.

Yes and no. Yes that is the coverage: $2500 without having to fill out anything. However, if something happened, and for whatever reason they didn't 100% believe your claim was legit, they may ask you to prove you actually owned the firearm(s) you are asking them to pay off on. So the moral of the story is, keep some sort of record or receipt in a separate location. I keep a folder with the COE's of every gun I own. It would come in handy both for the police report, and the insurance claim.

No problem at all. Let me know if you need anything.

Saw that you are from Gloucester County. If you are looking for someone over there, she has an associate that works out by you that is also pro 2a. Let me know. I would be happy to make the introduction.

My wife is a Realtor in the Atlantic/Cape May County area. Where in South Jersey are you looking to buy? And yes, she is pro 2A.

If the PA dealer wants to fill it out, then print one out from the NJSP website and let them. If they don't feel like filling one out, then don't worry about it because there is no requirement for you to produce one in the future. Either way, it doesn't matter. Nothing will happen, so don't worry about it.

I have owned both. Both are awesome. However, I prefer the Mod.2. The grip and feel of the gun in your hand on the mod.2 is excellent. It feels like the mod.2 was just made for your hand. Not that the xdm is somehow bad, its just that the mod.2 is noticeably more comfortable. As far as shooting is concerned, both were very accurate for me, and I would recommend either. I don't feel that the upgraded barrel and trigger of the xdm made a whole ton of difference, as I shot them both the same.

I'm a small business owner. Fuel is always a consideration when writing proposals, or giving estimates. So when I have to pay more, you have to pay more. When registrations go up, taxes go up, insurance goes up, etc., etc., your bill goes up! Its small business 101. The funny thing is, I don't take home any more money. I end up bringing home the same amount, but getting screwed when I buy a gallon of milk, or heating oil, or having a pizza delivered. Eventually, when the price of the goods I buy as a private citizen goes up enough to where I can't afford them, I will raise my prices so that I can. That means you will pay more, again. Raising taxes to fill the transportation trust fund accounts, just so that politicians have money in there to steal, is not my idea of a solution. I learned a long time ago that an honest person doesn't make deals with someone they know can't, or wont, live up to their part of the agreement. What is the sense of negotiating the terms of the gas tax hike, when you know there is nothing holding the other side from changing the deal down the line? The minute the gas tax is raised, they will already be drafting legislation to roll back all of those pipe dreams they sold you to get it!

+1 Never had an issue, and shipping has always been quick and reasonably priced. Even if they are out of one thing or another, you can sign up to get an email or text alert when it is in. I like 9mm Blazer Brass 124gr. It is usually .20 cents a round and goes quick when it is in stock. So I set up the text alert when I need it, and within a few days it is in stock and I buy it right then and there.

I wouldn't write off the mod.2 just yet. It is a very different gun from the XDS. I would highly recommend you shoot the mod.2 before you decide against it. I have shot both, and bought the mod.2, hated the xds. Its apples to oranges between those two, even though they are both springfields.

That's funny.

I will second that. I have chokes that stick out past the muzzle and have never had an issue. WMA cops have seen me with them and have never said anything at all.

I love how they can just decide to stop processing appeals. What's next? Are they going to decide to stop processing NICS checks altogether? How did AMERICA get this way? We used to be the country of freedom, liberty, and fairness. This country was founded because people were sick of government abuse, and we are letting this kind of stuff happen?

I also love the form questions at the time of sale. Are you a drunk? Do you beat women? Like to snort coke on the weekends? Ever get tossed in the looney bin? Like anybody is going to say, "Sure, I'm a huge asshole." Again, that's what NICS is for. If we could trust everybody's answers on those stupid forms, why do we background check anyway?

The entire references thing ( as well as P2P and FPID) is ridiculous from the start. That's what NICS is for at the time of sale.

How awesome would it have been if she did the interview instead of Anderson.

Not that I agree with that strategy, but I guess from their perspective it makes sense.

Since I started shopping at shooters, I haven't needed a transfer, so I never had the need to ask how much they were. All of my previous transfers have been at other shops for between $40 - $45. Are you sure they are that much? Not saying you are wrong, just surprised they charge $75.

I have used them a couple of times (as a seller) with good results. No real issues. However, I have also come across a couple of people who were trying to buy illegally, which is not cool with me. I make the transactions in the parking lot of a very busy local range, which happens to have a bunch of cameras in the lot. This way we are both traveling to and from a range, we are both on camera if something goes wrong, and I don't have to have a stranger come to my home. Plus, they can try out their new toy right then and there if they want. It certainly makes me feel safer doing it this way, and I think the buyer is relieved also. After all, to them I could be a wackjob, theif, etc.

Really nice place. You won't be disappointed. Its kind of a hike from Bergen County, but worth it.
