My wife's going to Colorado on a rural trip, backpacking through the middle of nowhere where there's no reception what so ever and considering it's a high bear and cougar area we'd both prefer to have her well protected. Is it legal for her to borrow my handgun to take with her on a plane to Colorado to carry ? We know the CO laws and the "take firearm with you on a plate" regulations, but would NJ give her problems ? I'll be bringing her to the airport if that helps in any way. Thank you!

I was thinking about buying a welder but i honestly never use it enough to justify the cost. Is there anywhere in northern Jersey i could get it pin welded for a decent price ?

It's a 16" barrel with a competition muzzle brake, would that qualify for just pinning ?

I was planning on doing a pin and weld, simple hole in the muzzle, slightly into the treads, drop in pin and weld the top. As shown here.

I've had the upper receiver for a while now but the muzzle brake has to be welded in order to proceed with the lower. I've looked at the process countless times again and i know it's not that hard, given one has the tools which i do not as i lack a welding device. Where in north jersey (sussex county) can you get your muzzle brake welded for a decent price ? Or rent a welding device ?
