    Glad I moved to NJ!

    NJ ASSEMBLY COMMITTEE TO CONSIDER SCHOOL GROUNDS PENALTY INCREASE Possession of all BB guns and air guns would carry 7-10 year prison sentences with no possibility of leniency. Parents picking up their children at school after hunting or target shooting would also be at risk. Victim...

    Why the fuss?

    I may be missing something, but why all the outrage over the "no firearms" signs in various businesses. The signs are primarily there for tort liability reasons. If you have a legal CCW permit, who's going to know you're carrying as long as your gun stays concealed. Discretion is the better...

    No visible shortage of firearms for sale...

    I was passing through Scranton, PA, today and stopped at the local Gander Mountain. It was around noon (on a Saturday) and I was the ONLY person in the gun section of the store. Not only that, but there was very large selection of both long guns and handguns available for sale. The mass...

    Airport security

    Every now and then you hear about some knucklehead who forgot he (or she) was carrying and was stopped trying to get through airport security. Along the same lines, has anyone ever been "swabbed" by the TSA after spending time at this range? And might propellant residue set off alarm bells...

    Took the AR-15 Plunge

    I finally broke down and ordered an AR-15. Based on recommendations from other HighRoad forum members, I have a Daniel Defense M4, V7 on the way. Thank you, gentlemen. Although the DD rifles seem to be in high demand (and hard to find), I put myself on a waiting list with one of the online...

    Pellet gun question...

    I just bought a Gamo Whisper Silent Cat .22 Cal Air Rifle. According to the manufacturer, the velocity of PBA (performance ballistic alloy) pellets is 950 fps. I'm assuming the velocity of heavier, lead pellets is much lower. The primary purpose of the gun is to shoot flying squirrels (but not...

    Help Needed in Taking the AR-15 Plunge

    I've pretty much narrowed down the manufacturer to Daniel Defense. (I realize there are less expensive ARs that many believe are just as good, and no, I don't want to build one.) My conundrum is which model? Carbine length or mid-length? (The “M4 Profile” (V2) and the “Govt Profile” (V3)...

    Good-bye to the Garden State

    In two weeks, I'm moving from New Jersey to Pennsylvania (eight miles away). Although New Jersey's overly restrictive firearms laws are not the primary reason for the move, they certainly factored into the equation. I'll have to change my handle.

    Number of rounds through a gun...

    So, I read various posts with guys writing things like: "After 2,000 rounds..." and "only three failures in 6,000 rounds..." and "my barrel has seen 11,000 rounds..." How do you know? I can kind of guess when I've shot a couple hundred rounds or so through a new pistol, but after that who...

    Want a last minute 2010 tax deduction?!

    Contribute to the Second Amendment Foundation: http://www.saf.org/default.asp?p=safdonation I'm not affiliated with the organization. However, I am a CPA, and I checked IRS Pub. 78, which lists organizations eligible to receive tax deductible charitable contributions. The SAF is a legitimated...

    managed recoil vs. low recoil vs. reduced recoil

    Are these essentially different terms for the same thing?

    Mossberg 590A1 - poor man's light/laser mount

    I just installed one of these on my Mossberg 590A1: The light mount is attached to the end of the magazine tube. It's distributed by Streamlight; $16.68 at copsplus.com, http://www.copsplus.com/prodnum2264.php I just couldn't bring myself to spend the $350-plus for a Surefire forend...

    Sig P228 Slide Not Locking

    The slide on my Sig P228 is not locking after the last cartridge in the magazine is ejected. (But, damn, I'm shooting good with the gun!) It's occuring with both magazines. It was working fine during the first part of today's session, as well as two days ago. This is a low milage pistol...

    Very impressed with Glock 19

    Took my wife's new Glock 19 to the range for the first time today. First round -- first round ever shot through the barrel (except maybe at the factory) -- bullseye. The rest of my shots weren't as good, but they were close. Not a single jam or failure in 100 rounds. I've considered myself...

    Shotlock?

    Does anyone have experience with this: http://www.shotlock.com/ Have to admit, I'm intrigued. I haven't seen anything like it out there.

    Rounding out modest collection...

    I have a short period of time before my wife's New Jersey handgun purchase permit expires. Once it expires, she or I will have to go through the whole approval process again. We currently own the following: 1. Sig Sauer, P228, pistol, 9mm 2. Ruger, GP-100, revolver, .327 magnum...
