How are you feeling? Guess not too bad if you are posting here!

I asked about this many months ago. The answer I got was basically the person/entity offering the course has to be registered with the NJSP. GFH is the only one I know of. From what I remember there's basically a fixed day/time during the week where it's offered. I've taken many classes with GAPP and passed the test a few times but he's not registered with NJSP so none of it matters.

Welcome!

Low-end pro. Helmet mount. Follow-up step would something like a DBAL. Similar price range as @Displaced Texan, which I am guessing means monocular.

Thinking about getting Night Vision one of these days. Anyone have thoughts on decent brands, shops, gen 2 vs. 3, and what sorts of specs/features to look for or things to avoid? Monocular based on what I've seen price-wise. No real application other than filling in missing pieces and SHTF.

North Cackalacky sometime next year with any luck.

Perhaps a dumb question but isn't a COE basically a form of registration? Or do those not leave the FFL?

That was a great call... and nice dig! I hadn't heard that about Heller. That's good to know. I am also surprised none of action alerts I received on this didn't mention this unconstitutional angle.

Awesome. Listening now.

Sorry @10X I was speaking metaphorically about "food". I debated with myself for several minutes about putting double quotes around it. That said, you raise some interesting points... CA is amazing in their ability to screw so many different things up.

The real concern (for me anyway) is if somehow, perhaps through a multi-state initiative, they prohibit purchasing food across the river in America. I seem to recall this is the situation with CA and NV.

Not that it will matter but everyone here has contacted their reps, right???

Looks like this was stopped. https://www.gunowners.org/na1202202111/

Thought I just read somewhere (either here or ARFCOM) that u-tube pulled the dislike/thumbs down widget.

Saw this. Got an email from GOA. Anyone have any updates? ION, I have SOOOO had it with Chris Smith and will never vote for him again. Don't care who or what runs against him.

Was just visiting Sons of Liberty Gun Works and on their homepage was a video of BCGs. Seems apropos given this thread.

On a NiBo or nitride or both? Curious why as I've never heard this. What about other lubes such as CLP? The NiBo is so slick is doesn't appear to hold lube anyway, especially after the first couple shots.

I was thinking about this in a related way recently. With all the new gun owners in this state... are they so dumb they don't see FPM for what he is? Or did FPM cheat enough to overcome it?

Thanks. Refresher: Requiring Firearm Safety Training: S-2169/A-5030 (Weinberg/Reynolds-Jackson) would modernize firearm ID cards, as well as require completion of a firearm safety course in order to receive a permit to purchase a gun or receive a firearm ID card. Connecticut, California, Hawaii, Illinois, Rhode Island, Maryland and the District of Columbia all have laws requiring individuals to undergo safety training prior to being able to purchase. [How would this apply to existing FID holders? Definition of acceptable training? Conspicuously absent. Potential impacts on passing on firearms to your heirs.] Mandating Safe Storage of Firearms: Owning a firearm for protection in the home can present a substantial obstacle to safe firearm storage, with individuals often opting to keep weapons loaded and easily accessible. Last legislative session, the Assembly passed A-3696/S-2240 (Downey/Gopal) requiring firearm owners to store the firearm in a securely locked box or container; in a location where a reasonable person would believe to be secure; or to secure the firearm with a trigger lock. Raising Minimum Age to Purchase Long Guns to 21: Under current law, a person 18 years of age and older may obtain a firearms purchaser identification card and a handgun purchaser is required to be at least 21 years old. The bill (A-1141/S-3605, Freiman/Cryan) increases from 18 to 21 the age at which a person is eligible to receive a firearms purchaser identification card used to purchase shotguns and rifles but would still allow for those at least 18 to possess a long gun for purposes of hunting; military drills; competition; target practice; training; or under the supervision of a parent or guardian. Promoting Microstamping Technology: Microstamping technology provides law enforcement with the tools to quickly link firearm cartridge casings found at the scene of a crime to a specific firearm, without having to recover the firearm itself. The technology essentially creates a “license plate” on cartridge casings to identify the gun that was used to shoot the ammunition. Last legislative session, S-112/A-1098 (Weinberg/Downey) would require within a year that firearm manufacturers incorporate this technology into new handguns sold in New Jersey. [This worked so well in CA... IOW, no more new pistols for sale.] Establishing Electronic Ammunition Sales Recordkeeping: The State Commission of Investigation (SCI) issued a report in 2016 finding that straw purchases of ammunition were unchecked because firearm IDs lacked photo identification. The SCI also found that sales records were often hand-written into log books — a problem for law enforcement, which should be able to consult an electronic database when it investigates questionable ammunition purchases. A-1292/S-1481 (Greenwald/Weinberg) would require manufacturers or dealers of handgun ammunition to keep a detailed electronic record of ammunition sales, and report ammunition sales to the State Police. [Any talk of banning internet sales?] Banning .50 Caliber Firearms: Military-style .50 caliber rifles are banned or restricted in several other states. California has a complete ban on .50-caliber rifles, Connecticut bans specific models and Maryland has some restrictions. S-103/A-1280 (Gill/Greenwald) would revise the definition of "destructive device" under New Jersey law so that it includes weapons of .50 caliber or greater. [It's about time. These things are used in what... zero crimes in this state annually?] I wouldn't be surprised if remaining evil features, others, and internet sales, among other things, get added to the list.

I dropped my Trenton Times subscription after the January 7th headline. Bought a paper last week on Thanksgiving for my wife... $8 and completely useless! Won't be doing that again.

I read the article on my wife's iPad but couldn't copy the text out. Does anyone have access to copy here? https://www.nj.com/politics/2021/11/from-taxes-to-guns-to-abortion-heres-what-to-expect-from-gov-murphys-second-term.html

Ouch! I wonder if a Schuster or Garand Gear gas plug would have helped?

I have a Toolcraft NiBo BCG ($160) I got from PSA as well as a Right-to-Bear (RTB) nitride one ($120). Very happy with both!

I sent back the Swampfox today. The UH-1 looks great but it's a too rich for my blood and maybe overkill. A friend of mind also has an astigmatism and mentioned the Primary Arms SLx microdot with ACSS reticle. He said the chevron is a bit small but with the horseshoe target acquisition was fast. Price is good too. I would like to see one in person before buying. Maybe at the next show.
