I think it's time for that guy to find a new place to live...

I have a Ruger Mark IV 22/45 and I think it's a great pistol. Takedown/cleaning is PAINFULLY simple with the Mark IV's. They make a "Lite" version with lots of different colors, rails, and threaded barrel so you can tacticool it:

Fuente 8-5-8 was my go-to when I smoked regularly. When J&R was in their heyday I REALLY liked their El Rey del Mundo line. They had a bigger pyramid (Flor de la Lenza?) that I couldn't resist. They also had a paper wrapped Robusto that was fantastic. I haven't smoked a cigar in 10 years or so, but if Rey del Mundo are still around I'd probably grab them. As always I'd never pass up a Cuban if offered...

Thanks for sharing

Yeah, that "professional courtesy" thing. Seems to get extended a LOT...

Well...OK. I think you read into his post a little too much. He was actually complimenting you on making a valid point that a lot of people don't think about. Maybe you came here looking for a fight?

Another positive response: Hello 124gr9mm, Thank you for writing concerning this very important issue. I support the second amendment and will always vote against any legislation that will restrict a citizen from exercising their Constitutional Rights. Sincerely, Assemblyman Rob Clifton

Thanks for sharing!

I received a few generic auto-reply messages already, but at least one member had a response ready for this bill: Thank you for contacting my office regarding Bill A-2426. I share your concerns on this piece of legislation and I will be voting No when the bill comes to the floor. I strive to represent my constituents concerns, interests and provide as much personal service as I can to you. As your Assemblyman in Trenton, it is essential that I know what you are thinking in order for me to be your voice in Trenton. I will be sure to keep your opinions in mind when the bill comes before the legislature.

Received this last night. Sent a message to all the contact names on the list they provided at the link: HONEST GUN OWNERS TREATED THE SAME AS MURDERERS FOR INADVERTENT, TECHNICAL LAW VIOLATIONS No Violent Crime Required Rot in Jail for Years While Awaiting “Trial” Tell Lawmakers to Fix or Oppose This Poorly-Crafted Bill On Monday, March 14 at 1:00 p.m., the New Jersey Assembly Law and Public Safety Committee is scheduled to consider A2426 – an apparently well-intentioned but badly botched piece of legislation whose intended purpose appears to be to throw the book at violent gun criminals – which law-abiding gun owners actually support. But as written, the bill does not distinguish between violent criminal behavior and innocent technical infractions for the draconian presumption against bail to apply. Law-abiding gun owners who inadvertently violate NJ’s thicket of hyper-technical firearms possession laws would be treated exactly the same as murderers—thrown in jail to rot for years without bail while they await trial someday for their “crimes.” This is not an imagined concern, as the Garden State has a well-documented track record of throwing the book at honest gun owners for innocent technical infractions. As written, this bill adds insult to injury and would throw honest gun owners in the gulag for years while they await trial for “infractions” like: -Stopping for food, fuel, going to the bathroom, or medical treatment on the way to or from the target range. -Transporting firearms to or from one’s place of business, a gun store, hunting, fishing, target shooting competitions, target ranges, re-enactments, gun buyback events, vacation homes or other destinations. -Widows or widowers turning in firearms of their deceased spouses. -Possession of antique and black powder firearms (even these firearms could trigger the draconian penalties under this bill). PLEASE IMMEDIATELY CLICK HERE TO EMAIL EVERY ASSEMBLY MEMBER AND TELL THEM TO EITHER FIX OR OPPOSE A2426. The law should distinguish between MERE POSSESSION of firearms by honest gun owners, vs. MISUSE of firearms by violent gun criminals, and draconian penalties like presumptive denial of bail should only apply to violent criminals who misuse firearms, and not to innocent mistakes of honest gun owners like technical possessory infractions where no violent misconduct is present. Honest gun owners should not be treated the same as murderers! Throw the book at the bad guys but take extreme care not to lump the good guys in with the bad. The bill can easily be amended to make it clear that its penalties apply only to persons accused of violent criminal behavior.

For someone who's positioned as an advocate attempting to energize people and encourage support, you absolutely, 100% turn me off and make me want to do nothing. I get that you're using a sales/comm's strategy, but it comes across as canned and obnoxious. If you switched your tone just a LITTLE and tried to unify you'd have much more success. But I know, carry water, heavy-lifting, your shoulders, etc, etc...

I've had one for several years and no issues with performance or reliability. Shoots straight and eats whatever ammo i feed it (though i've never shot steel cased). I've used it for Steel Challenge/Knowckdown shooting and at the range. If you get one there are two things you'll change. 1 - It has more recoil than you'd think so you'll want to add some kind of pad to the buttstock. 2 - the stock trigger is a plastic piece of garbage. It's sharp and it flexes, so replace it with an aluminum trigger - https://www.mcarbo.com/blem-sub-2000-curved-trigger-blk.aspx From there it's good to go. Lots of people add an optic, larger charging handle, etc, etc, but IMO that's a bit like adding lipstick on a pig...

"The fee to obtain the permit to carry a handgun would be increased from $20 to $100. " "The county prosecutor of any county, the chief police officer of any municipality, the superintendent, or any citizen may apply to the court at any time for the revocation of any permit issued pursuant to this section." My two favorite parts...

You don't need to spend that much. Contact JT at JT's Gun Shop - @JT Custom Guns, and/or Steve at Monmouth Arms @remixer. They're forum supporters and gun shop owners who will be able to find you something within your budget. A Taurus revolver would fit you needs and they run around $450.

There are LOTS of different opinions on what it's best to start with. Are you going to be a recreational shooter who makes frequent range trips? Will the wife be shooting with you? Will the gun(s) just sit in the safe "just in case"?, etc, etc, etc, etc. If I was going to stick with just two pistols and I was not recreational shooting, FOR ME it would probably be my 9mm semi-auto (Glock) and my 38 special/357 revolver (S&W 686). If recreational shooting was a consideration i'd say maybe go with a .22lr pistol (Ruger Mark IV) and the 9mm. The expectation is that a recreational shooter will be putting a lot more rounds downrange, so you'll be buying more ammo, so .22lr and 9mm are cheaper. You'd also be doing your own cleaning, so reliability wouldn't be an issue.

Wow, that's a lot of writing! I think the question you're asking is this: "can you conduct the entire firearms transaction online and have a firearm shipped to you without having to physically visit the ffl dealer's location/store " Short answer is "no". You're supposed to go to the FFL and present your information for the NICS check (even though some will take info over the phone/email and do it). You certainly have to go to the FFL to take possession. Theoretically you could do it all in one day if the NICS check comes back quickly, but from what people have been saying they're a few days behind at this point.

Thanks for sharing. Anyone have experience with the Bushnell red dots?

Agree. Also, the definition of "local" gun store could mean a store that's within $30 - $40 worth of gas, not just the one that's physically closest to you.

Thanks for sharing!! This is great news. I'm tired of driving to NY or PA for guns and ammo!!!!!! Best of luck!

Yeah, I think he's being optimistic with his asking price.

I don't know. I looked online for information about the shooter and it seems that he was...odd. https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/slipped-radar-m-f-ked-195925766.html

This. Some of the older guys I shoot with swear that you have to use Windex, but the water is what gets the salts out.

I think you'll definitely have to travel. North Jersey is pretty bare for any kind of action shooting. Maybe make some practice courses at home and go through them with an airsoft pistol. Do LOTS of practice drawing from your holster too. Then sign up for some USPSA matches and learn as you go...

It's all about optics. "Buttigieg said he rides his bike to work some days, but acknowledged that “it doesn’t do much for my carbon footprint because I have to have a security detail.” He said he does it regardless, for exercise and as “a transportation secretary who is trying to encourage people to bike to work and make it easier and safer for people to do it.” And this isn't some long trek from his house to the office where he works. In his mind "riding to work" is the 3 mile trip from his office to the White House (when he needs to go there).

I suspect they'll do just that. It's friggin TEXAS!!!! I bet they play the 2019 clip in every political ad and then include the flip-flop quotes. When Beto loses I'm sure he'll cry about racism/sexism/white-supremacy even though he's a white guy...
