Thought that S&W would like to know that their S&W 500 might be banned in NJ.

 

 

"Dear Smith & Wesson,

 

My wife and I are owners of a variety of your firearms. Her 627 is by far her favorite firearm she owns. I am writing you because I hope to one day soon own a S&W 500. While I cannot hunt with it in New Jersey I plan to take it on a hunting trips in the future to other states where you are allowed to hunt with a handgun. My ability to do this is being threatened by current legislation that would make it illegal for me to own a S&W 500 in the state of New Jersey. While I have voiced my concern with the state assembly, state senate, and the governor of my state I have not made any progress on getting an answer as to why they are against their residents owning a hunting handgun to hunt in other states with. My assumption is that they do not have a clue about what they are doing to handgun hunters in New Jersey. I bring this to your attention in hopes that your company would be willing and able to send a letter to the New Jersey governor and/or put out a a public statement about how NJ Assembly Bill 3659 which passed the NJ House Assembly on 02/21/13 hurts hunters in New Jersey by restricting their right to hunting arms.

 

Regards, Kevin Maguire"

 

 

It's worth a shot. Feel free to contact them yourselves. http://www.smith-wes...14_757812_image

Hate to break it to you. They don't care. They will sell the 500's elsewhere and people here will just buy the 460. Sad news is that most manufacturers could care less about the ban states. Since all this started compliance guns have taken a back seat.

My neighbor is crying....so proud of his 500 and full reloading setup....I told him to come to Trenton with me, but he thought they would never pass it....I told him I could weld a plug in the barrel for him and encase it in epoxy....heartbreaking

I won't waste my time contacting them or buying their products. Screw them!
