    Automobile trip to the North East with a handgun

    I haven't posted here in a while. NJ Resident here. FOPA covers you going to destination. My suggestion is to leave the gun in PA. I can go over all of the technicalities but basically you can only travel to or from your home, place of business, or a gun range / store / smith with only...

    Ammo more readily available now?

    I can't find .38 Special anywhere in New Jersey. I go to the Dicks Sporting Goods around Burlington and Camden county and .40 Cal is practically falling off the shelves with 45 ACP a close second. No .22 LR or 9mm to be found either. The shortage is still around but has become schizophrenic...

    Should Concealed Carriers Carry A Flashlight?

    My father was in the World Trade Center back in 1993 during the first terrorist attack. He used the Indiglow button on his watch to navigate his way through his office when the power went out. I took that lesson to heart and I now carry a small Mini Mag Lite AAA flashlight. I'm not going to...

    Most restrictive state?

    DC Probably beats them all. For states, in all honesty it is probably NJ, mainly because NJ is a self-fulfilling prophecy. In just about any other state, pistols may be restricted, but you can go into your local sporting goods store and buy a "Joe Biden Special" without any special...

    $400 striker/9mm

    You could consider the S&W SD9VE. Consider it a bargain-basement M&P... or an upgraded Sigma. Either way it's a striker fired gun for not a lot of money.

    NJ laws for out of staters

    You know what, what, you are right. Free legal advice is worth exactly what you pay for. Although he could still buy a gun in NJ with an NJ FID. However, the lease agreement idea could work, If the OP owned a home at the Jersey Shore, he could keep a gun here. There is no difference between...

    NJ laws for out of staters

    Ok, here is the skinny from an NJ resident. It sounds like you don't have an NYC permit. I'm not familiar with the NYC laws, but I can tell you a lot about NJ. If you *do* own a shotgun and you want to drive here to shoot, you can. But you have to go directly to the range. No stopping. The...

    Willfully Incapable People

    Honestly... I carry a handkerchief. This is something that amazes people today because they think they are unsanitary. However.. #1. My huge Semitic schnoz needs maintenance at least once or twice an hour. #2. You can use it as a dressing in an emergency. And yes, I carry a small...

    Wife wants to learn to shoot.

    Normally I would suggest a revolver, but the double action may be hard for her. I can give you one option - a Beretta Tomcat in .32ACP or one of the Taurus Tomcat clones. The Tomcat has a tip-up barrel which allows you to load a round without racking the slide.

    Councilman proposes a 3 day waiting period in Kentucky

    Speaking as a resident from NJ... seriously guys. You need to stomp this bill into the dust or you will end up like me. I changed addresses in my town. I went from the east side of town to the west side of town and had to reapply for my firearms ID card and pistol permits. That's right in...

    Kel-Tec : What's the Latest Opinion ?

    IMHO, Kel Tec is one of the few gun companies that is innovating. Charter Arms gets second prize with their rimless revolvers. Beretta is doing some neat stuff with the ARX-160 if they can ever actually produce the thing. I would certainly call the PX-4 innovative - a polymer pistol with a...

    Kel-Tec : What's the Latest Opinion ?

    I have a Kel Tec PF9. I also have a Beretta 92FS, and a 1911. I could choose either of those guns as my home defense gun. I but chose the PF9 even with its reduced capacity. Why? In all honesty, I'm afraid of using my 1911 for home defense because it has jammed on me, and I'm afraid of...

    Dick’s Sporting Goods

    I live in NJ, where Wal Mart doesn't sell Ammo. That pretty much leaves me with LGS, internet vendors and Dicks. I got into a good rhythm pre-shortage. I spent about $200 on ammo whenever I saw a sale, and with their Scorecard I got a coupon for $10 every few months. Which I applied to...

    How many of you have had waning feelings about firearms?

    I used to own ten guns and shot every Tuesday and every other Saturday. I did that for about four years. Newtown changed a lot for me because I got politically active with a number of state gun organizations. Honestly, I spend much of my time working on political campaigns and with 2A...

    FMJ 9mm for CCW?

    You're right. But the military also shoots at other things such as vehicles or equipment. Fighters may be wearing armor as well. Even if they are not, you still may have to punch through layers of equipment - bandoleers, clothing, a radio and all of the assorted crap that even the most...

    Printing Paranoia.

    From what I have noticed, most people are in their own little world, walking around in condition white. Lots of people carry around a multitude of crap on their belt these days. It's common to see people with two cell phones. I don't think anybody really cares or even notices.
