    Good News: NJ AG determines Smart Gun Law is NOT triggered

    The NJ Attorney General has issued a report finding that the Armatix iP1 handgun that was at times offered for sale in certain stores around the country does NOT meet the criteria of a "personalized handgun" as defined by the NJ Smart Gun law, and will therefore not trigger the law's requirement...

    So why were the anti's pretty much dormant the last two decades?

    This question has intrigued me for a little while now, and I thought I'd solicit opinions from our esteemed membership for some insight. Following the enactment of the federal AWB in 1994, I seem to recall that the efforts of the anti's to push for more legislation, both at the federal and...

    The future of guns & our RKBA in the next 50 years

    I'm interested in the general consensus, if there is any, among our esteemed THR members of where the future of our RKBA might be heading. Idle speculation aside, we've seen some recent positive developments (AWB sunset, the Heller and McDonald opinions, the defeat of major gun control proposals...

    Email response from Rep. Scott Garrett, R-NJ

    There is certainly reason to be concerned that Northeast RINO's will cave or outwardly support gun control efforts, but I was pleasantly surprised from this reasoned response from my congressman, Scott Garrett, from NJ of all places: Dear Friend: Thank you for contacting me about gun...

    Traveling to Vegas - handgun ok in hotel room?

    I will be traveling to Las Vegas in a few weeks for a short vacation. I have both a FL and VA non-resident CCW which I understand are not honored in Nevada, so I won't be carrying anywhere. Nevertheless, I would like to bring my semi-auto handgun with me and just keep it in the hotel room safe...

    Handgun ban? What about Heller/McDonald?

    Following Tuesday's presidential debate, Obama mentioned his support for a renewed AWB and perhaps regulation of (cheap) handguns. Setting aside for the moment the constitutionality of any AWB, I thought the possibility of a ban on handguns was already barred by the Heller and McDonald...

    Could F&F take gun control off the table?

    Given the scandal surrounding the whole Fast & Furious operation and increasing mainstream acknowledgment of its roots as a manufactured controversy to make the case for gun control, how many here feel that this administration's (or any in the near future) attempts at further 2A restrictions...

    Why don't they make wooden cleaning rods?

    Seems like a good idea to me - I sometimes see kits with wooden rods for shotguns, but nothing for pistols/rifles. It may be less sturdy than a brass or steel rod, but I think it would greatly reduce or eliminate the possibility of bore damage in the event of a slip during cleaning. I...

    Anyone here have a Ruger SR1911? Bore looks "unfinished."

    Greetings all, I was lucky enough to acquire a Ruger SR1911 last week, and after cleaning my new toy, I was somewhat surprised to discover that the bore appears roughly finished - not something I'd expect from from a brand new pistol, honestly. I'm not necessarily looking for a mirror...

    Poll: What are the chances of new restrictions following the Tuscon shooting?

    Just wanted to get a handle on everyone's thoughts regarding the likelihood of the passage (not proposal) of any new federal firearm restrictions (magazine capacity, renewed AWB, etc) following the tragedy in Tuscon. I'm voting "probably not," given the current lack of enthusiasm for gun...

    Machine Gun Helicopter Rides?

    Hi all, I was wondering if I could invoke the wisdom of my fellow THR members in answering a question. Was there ever, or is there now, a company or provider that offers a helicopter ride over a designated range area where you are permitted to fire from a machine gun at ground targets...

    Promising news from NJ re: Right to Carry

    Just got this in my email inbox a little while ago. As a former "inmate" of NJ, this is certainly some promising news from the Garden State with respect to 2A rights, for a change: ANJRPC SUES TO BRING DOWN NJ’S UNCONSTITUTIONAL HANDGUN CARRY LAW! Today, ANJRPC joined in an...

    Central Florida machine gun questions

    Hello all, I'm pleased to report I've finally moved to a far more 2A friendly state... central FL to be exact. One thing I've wanted to do for quite some time is legally acquire a MG - I'm interested in perhaps a MAC or an UZI; funds thus restricting my choices. Anyway, I understand...

    Can I sell multiple handguns (of my own) out-of-state FFL without any ATF paperwork?

    I have 4 handguns that I personally own that an out-of-state friend wants to buy from me. I live in NJ, and he in PA. We have tentatively agreed to use an FFL in PA with which he is familiar. 1. Can I transfer all four at once to an FFL in PA? 2. Must I (or the FFL) report the transaction to...

    Where can I find a factory SKS 10-rd internal mag?

    I've checked Numrich, but they only have some (but not all) of the necessary components, and although Gunbroker and AuctionArms have them for sale from time to time, I haven't seen any lately. Does anyone know where I can find one? New or used in good condition is fine. Thanks.

    Leaving a 1911 on half-cock for storage?

    I have one of my custom 1911 "safe queens" disassembled for long-term storage. I have gone only as far as a standard field-strip, coating the parts in RIG grease, and storing them in an airtight container with some silica gel dessicant thrown in for good measure. This might be a trivial...

    Question - current US military issue night vision goggles

    I'm given to understand that by and large the US military currently fields a goggle under the AN/PVS-15 designation, otherwise offered as an "M953" to civilian purchasers, seen below: I was wondering if anyone has any familiarity with this device, either in a military capacity or as a...
