I think it's fine if people want to carry "everywhere", but I reject the notion that suddenly because the SC gave us the Bruen decision that every place is now a potential shootout waiting to happen. I chose to live where I do because it's safe. There are no shootings, murders, or violent crimes here (and in my lifetime there never have been), so there's absolutely no reason for me to carry when I'm walking the dog. You can play any "what if" game you'd like, but i'm statistically more likely to get hit by lightening in this town than am I am to get hit by a bullet. I don't live my life in fear. There are places i go that i'll absolutely carry, but there are many that i won't. I've survived this long without the option to carry, so IMO I'm adding a new measure of security when needed. Carry if you want, but don't pretend that we're somehow being negligent if we don't.

Significant difference in price for a range toy...

+1 I don't think you're beating a dead horse. This thread is likely to go on for MANY more pages, so it's good to have this reminder pop back in from time to time...

I think you have to accept that low light conditions present a challenge and prepare/train for them. I'm fortunate that I'm a member of a private range, so I occasionally turn the lights off to simulate night/low light conditions (there's enough ambient light from the ready room so I can safely see what I'm doing). I've practiced that way with a WML, flashlight in my hand, and no lights. I don't think the 'perfect' sights for all scenarios exists, so train with what works best for you, then practice, practice, practice...

Yeah, that's definitely a limitation. Maybe put a light on it?

Honestly I don't differentiate between a "carry gun" and the others I have. I change (or keep) the sights based on what works best for my eyes, not based on whether it's a "carry gun" or not. I didn't like the stock sights on my Glock so I changed them out for a green fiber optic. The stock sights on my compact 9mm and my revolver are fine, so I didn't change them. I have a full size 9mm that I use for action shooting that I used bright nail polish on the front sight to help with visibility. Your eyes are different than mine, so it's difficult for me to recommend what's best for you. I've never fired a P30SK, but from the pictures it looks like the sights are the same as my action gun, so I'd probably put hot red nail polish on the front sight over the stock white dot and call it a day.

Oh there's an ambulance-chaser for every incident, but there's too much precedent for this kind of thing for it to go anywhere. The league does not settle these. They make examples of these idiots...

I think it's the right case, but the interpretation I heard (and used) may be incorrect. That's why I always admit to not being a lawyer. It seems that the Supreme Court is kicking the case back not because of the charges for carrying in DC, but for MA refusing to renew the guy's carry permit after pleading guilty to gun misdemeanors in DC.

Glad it's starting to slip into the mainstream outlets...

From who? NFL players were "afraid for their lives". The guy that tackled him said he was concerned that the guy had a gun or a bomb. The penalties for doing that during an NFL game are pretty severe, so the guy will not be getting paid. He'll probably be out a LOT of time/money...

That happened to me, and the target was only at 15 yards during my qual. RO's came over to check targets and the guy next to me called out the "extra" that he put on my target.

Legit option in my opinion. Consistent with the way people do it in states that require notification. For me I'd rather avoid the drama that will almost certainly come with the initial traffic stops with permit holders. I fully expect it will turn into an event where multiple backup cars and a supervisor arrive and they all look for ANYTHING they can use to jam up the driver...

This could be big: 21-1160 MORIN, ALFRED V. LYVER, WILLIAM, ET AL. The petition for a writ of certiorari is granted. The judgment is vacated, and the case is remanded to the United States Court of Appeals for the First Circuit for further consideration in light of New York State Rifle & Pistol Assn., Inc. v. Bruen, 597 U. S. ___ (2022) This was a case where a concealed carry permit holder in MA was arrested in DC for carrying (dude went to a museum and tried to 'check' his gun with police when he saw a no gun sign). Could have impacts for National Reciprocity

I recommend getting some dummy rounds and do a lot of dry fire practice and reloading with both speed loaders and speed clips. With even just 5 minutes a day for a week, you'd be surprised at how proficient you'll become with both. There's simply no comparing either speed loaders and speed strips to just using loose rounds. Both are significantly faster than the loose rounds. I have one speed loader and a bunch of speed clips for my revolver. The speed loader is the fastest for a full reload, but the speed clips can be used to "top off" if you have time to pull out a few spent shells. If you get the speed clips i recommend getting them for at least 1 more round than the capacity of your pistol (so at least 6 slots for you). This allows you to leave a blank spot in the middle of the strip to index your finger. This guy does it in his video:

Absolutely agree. When I started doing action shooting matches it quickly became apparent that "shit happens". Even on VERY expensive guns and reliable name brands, there are times when even the best shooters would need to drop a mag because of a malfunction of some kind.

I'll take the 2 Blackhawk 35” and 42” and the 49” shotgun case for $30. I'll also take one box of .22 ammo for $25 I'll pick up in Wayne. PM sent

A good bolt rifle in .308 would be a nice addition. Howa, Tikka, Bergara, and others are reasonably priced and very accurate out of the box. Just don't go cheap on the scope...

Good. Expansion testing is great, but there are plenty of bad things that an added blob of polymer could do to the function of a handgun. I'd hate for you to get a 'click' instead of a 'bang' when needed, or a 'kaboom' at any time...

While I appreciate your efforts to work around the insane laws in NJ, I'd be hesitant to put untested, home-brew ammo tips in my gun. There's no telling what they're going to do to the flight path of the bullet, if they're going to come loose in the magazine due to violence of recoil, or otherwise jam up the works of a gun. "Proof of concept" is one thing, but companies spend countless hours testing their designs before bringing them to market, so I'd trust the manufactured ammo.

IMO putting a number on a carry permit is different than creating a registry (and providing a registry card) at point of sale. Removing the requirement to specifically list the guns on the carry permit can be challenged and overturned in court. Once you start with a registry at point of sale it will never go away.

Yup. It's a bit absurd right now. I primarily live in Morris county but I also have a house in Ocean, so i'm there frequently. Could make for an interesting conversation with LEO...

Hard 'no' for me. Creating a registry like that is the first step towards confiscation...

I definitely think proper fitment is important. I see LOTS of people at the range (particularly newer shooters) just kind of letting plugs dangle from their ears and calling it good. I use these little Safariland plugs under my muffs. It helps with rifles if my right muff lifts a little when shouldering, and indoors it helps keep things comfortable. Takes a little wiggling to make sure they're in properly

This. IMO the people who received the rifles did the right thing by contacting ATF. Hopefully the ATF does the right thing and doesn't try to charge the people with anything...

Exactly. Facebook is a red-herring in this case. The police report over a domestic incident is the issue.
