I was visiting a friend nearby and my husband and I went to the show with him. It was my first gun show and I enjoyed the experience. I bought a crate of ammo at a better price than I've been able to find locally and a few accessories.

Wouldn't the MVC have the capability to track down the driver using that information?

The permit requirement doesn't expire again until May 12, 2022 (per NJAC). It could have expired in 2015 but was "readopted". If you're in the mood for a migraine, try going through the NJ Register. Over 1,000 people commented on the readoption and additional amendments, but it didn't seem to make a whit of difference to lawmakers.

I know I'm not interpreting it the way the artist meant it to be taken, but hey, art is personal. A single work can be interpreted a million different ways. This is an amazing piece…

I always wear mine. But my point is that the rule gives the impression that there will be time to put the lifejacket on in an emergency. For PWC, it's usually just a few seconds between everything's fine and SHTF.

The sound of a whistle travels a lot farther than the human voice, so that rule makes sense to me. What I don't understand is why there must be a life jacket on a vessel, but the paddler is not required to wear it.

As someone who spends time on the water, I'm very appreciative of the USCG (even though I'd like them to revisit one or two rules with regards to paddlesports). I initially viewed the CG's actions as tinged by anti-firearm sentiment, but now that I know that Antwerpen's permit was expired I understand why they called NYPD. I don't think it was necessary but I can understand why the CG felt obligated.

^^^THIS^^^ Little more than 48 hours ago I had a recently retired police officer tell me not to transport loaded magazines as it could open a can of worms if I was stopped. Annoying and illogical as I find the quirk in NJ LE that treats loaded magazines and unloaded firearms in separate compartments as a "loaded weapon", it's not worth the time, fines or possible confiscation to save myself about five minutes at the range. YMMV.

No rifle for you! http://money.cnn.com/2016/06/17/technology/rifle-emoji Apple and Microsoft are in lockstep on this one, so I don't see it changing anytime soon. At least we still have ascii art…

Small update: "He was a gentleman, and acknowledged that there were firearms on board, and acknowledged that they were his firearms," said {Police spokesman Sgt. Brendan} Ryan, who said police later learned he was the Maryland car dealer. Antwerpen had a carry permit, but it was expired, Ryan said.

If you felt uncomfortable it was best to walk away, but from a sellers perspective taking a Paypal G&S would have been very risky. The fees aside, Paypal is very buyer biased. (If there's a problem) At best they'll freeze the seller's account and try to force the seller to accept a return and refund the buyer (but still pay all the fees), even if "no returns" was stated in the terms of sale. If it comes to light that the transaction was for a firearm, the seller's Paypal account would be permanently suspended. If I was selling a firearm, I don't think I'd be willing to accept a G&S payment either.

I'm very sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Silver lining: if anyone can afford a good lawyer to fight this, a car dealer can. My knowledge of the incident is restricted to the arrest blotter of the NY Post, but one thing that sticks out to me is that the USCG called the NYPD. I do not wish to leap to conclusions without further facts, but right now my opinion of the USCG is less than it was.

In theory, yes, but in NJ: From Nappen: "Slingshots became banned in New Jersey when the law was adopted because some idiot didn't know the difference between a 'slungshot' and a slingshot," reads a passage from the book …"Originally the prohibition was to be for 'slungshots' which is something similar to a blackjack and primarily used for hitting people on the head. Unfortunately some legislative geek changed the 'U' to an 'I' and slingshot became a 'per se weapon.'" ( via: http://www.nj.com/politics/index.ssf/2015/05/the_bart_simpson_law_assemblyman_wants_to_decrimin.html ) It would be hilarious…if I didn't live here. Two words: New Jersey.

That is amazing craftsmanship. I have visions of someone defining it as a "slingshot"—illegal in NJ AFAIK— because of the rubber bands.

Smith & Wesson M&P I'll let him know, thank you! Forum membership has it's privileges; I think it's cool that complete strangers are willing to help out. I'll give hubby a hard time about laundry , but a new hobby? Heck no. We're all new at some point and only learn via experience. As long as he observes safety measures—which he does—I'm here to cheer him on.

I'm asking this on behalf of my husband, who recently purchased his first firearm. He cleaned it following the manual along with a YouTube video. Both said to put a single drop of oil at 7 points. He used the bottle of Hoppe's 9 Lubricating Oil that came with his kit (this one: http://www.hoppes.com/cleaning-kits/more/rifle-kit-with-aluminum-rod ) to do that. The first time, which was after he bought it home from the shop, he realized he used too-large drops and wasn't surprised when he saw some leakage. When he cleaned the firearm after his trip to the range, he focused on using smaller drops, but there was still leakage. Both times he noticed oil on the side of the frame that faced down in the case during storage, and on the ejection port. Handling it and working the slide a few times after the second cleaning, he also noticed some oil near the takedown lever (which is on the up side during storage). Should he be cleaning/oiling less frequently, or should he be using a different oil (or at least a different application method for the oil)? Or is this normal?

According to the article, {Brian} Murray said Friday. "They have not shared the specific details of their joint proposal with the governor beyond the vague generalities contained in their press release. The governor will review those specifics if he receives them from Senator Sweeney and Speaker Prieto. Only then can he determine if their plan to fund the TTF with an increased gas tax offers tax fairness to the people of New Jersey in the form of significant broad-based tax relief.” Emphasis is mine. I believe it's a flat 23¢ per gallon if for no other reason than any hint of it being more than 23¢ would be political suicide with November 8th coming fast. At the moment it's nothing more than grandstanding before they go off to schmooze at the DNC. But the threat could become very real, very quickly.

Thank you for letting me know that is has a name. I learn something new every day. FWIW, this one came from a 50-round box of Winchester 9mm Luger, though as I said above, I'm sure this happens with every manufacturer at some point. I definitely won't use it. I just wanted to be sure I wasn't tossing it needlessly; I wouldn't toss a quarter in the trash, why do that with a bullet worth almost as much? Actually, this brings up another point—is there a protocol for tossing this kind of ammo?

I've read a couple of articles about MA and I'm still unclear— was actual legislation voted on and passed, or is the AG just grandstanding? The AG is the "chief lawyer and law enforcement officer" of MA. Last I was aware, lawyers and LEOs enforce the law, they don't make law. She's jumping up and down saying she closed the loophole, but how and on what authority?

Last night we were transferring ammo to Plano boxes and came across one that was shorter than all the rest (see photo). No manufacturing process is 100% perfect so I would expect this from time to time, but the question is, what to do with it? My gut feeling is that it shouldn't be used, but can more experienced firearms owners here on the forum confirm or contradict that please?

Governors are responsible for implementing state laws, but they have no formal power over AGs. In a state where the AG is elected, like Mass, there's no guarantee their interests align.

I have my heart set on the 92FS Inox, but permits don't last forever so I'll keep this in mind.

+1. Make sure they have plenty of General Liability and Workers Comp., and make sure you are the designated certificate holder. Part of my job is tracking down these forms for contractors working on site and it's like pulling teeth.
