That Beretta is really accurate ... my brothers were hitting cans 100 feet out ... so, putting white-out on the front sight helps? I read some books where it says you should have the front sight sharp and let the target get fuzzy, just concentrate on the front sight ...

“...boating-related gun collection losses I’ve heard bewailed here on FR. “

I didn’t believe those stories until the very same thing happened to me!

Anything interesting in the barrels like radioactive sludge or human remains?

Looks like my uncle Vito's old piece.

Come to think of it, where is uncle Vito's old piece...?

Yes, my wife's carry gun is a Bersa .380. I think it's just about at the bottom for self-defense, but after her shoulder surgery she can't handle anything bigger. Better it than nothing.

Disappointed Joe, mine’s 95%.

I’d rather carry a 22rimfire...and I do! :)

We found an old .45 when I was in middle school. We were skating on the local pond when one of us chased the puck into the grass and he pulled out a gun.. it had rounds in the magazine but had probably been in the mud for 20 years or so.
We took it to the local cop’s house and left it with his wife and went back to business of winning the stanley cup..

Dip the bullets in tetrodotoxin. Shoot, then you can even use a .25; it’ll at least break the skin.

Is that a revolver?

I have a magnet that was part of the radar on a commercial airliner...

We had a display in our Air Force dorm room...several klystron magnets from the F-4. Anyone that drank a beer...and they came from far and wide to do so... flipped the cap at it. It was pretty cool to watch it reach out and grab one passing by at 6 inches. The brass were not impressed by it.

Both magnetism and gravity, two of the most basic elements of our planet, are not completely understood. ______________________________________ And red-haired Romanian women, don't forget them.

Thanks a lot... gotta start over on my Unified Field Theory.

Transporting a firearm anywhere except directly to and from hunting or target practice, or directly to / from your residence to a business for purposes of repair or sale is a felony in New Jersey.

What?????

Or rather: what part of "shall not be infringed" do they not comprehend? More to the point: has anyone challenged this law since the last SCOTUS decision?

You have to understand: coming from a state with sane, rational firearms laws - this sounds utterly insane and irrational.

Wanna see my notes...they’re illustrated...

I formerly did, but currently do not live in Jersey. It goes without saying that the states weapon and firearms laws are crazy.

The provision in state law I called out IMO is not the worst weapons law in the state. That “honor” would go to the outlawed slingshot. Per guide written by Nappen the moron who wrote the law wanted to outlaw something called a “slungshot” which is a term equivalent to a blackjack - a contrivance with a stout weight enclosed in something like a sock. In drafting the law someone misspelled it as “slingshot.” Many years have passed ... and it still a felony to possess a slingshot in the Garden State.
