New Jersey considers antique and black powder weapons to be firearms. The same rules apply as with modern firearms.

Some good points have raised. I hadn't even considered the problem with the decocking requirement. Do you think that a 25 yard distance for the first course of fire is excessive when you consider the application of deadly force in a real world situation?

The interim New Jersey Permit To Carry, Use of Force and Safe Handling and Proficiency qualification has been published by the NJ State Police. https://nj.gov/njsp/firearms/pdf/PTC_use_of_force_and_Qual.pdf The proficiency requirements are fairly tough. How do they compare to those in...

I remember seeing a shaft straightening tool made of bone or antler in a museum. It looked like a wrench about a foot long with a round hole at one end. The user heated the shaft at the bend, put the shaft through the hole and then used leverage to straighten the shaft. I imagine it was a...

You know what? After reading this thread I realized there are not too many Westerns I don't like. Two I don't think have been mentioned are the Support Your Local Sheriff and Your Local Gunfighter movies, but I might as well just say 'anything with Jack Elam'.

My Leatherman Sidekick goes everywhere with me, usually in a belt sheath but occasionally clipped in my pocket. Dropped it outside my father's cabin one Fall. Lay in the snow all Winter. Found it in the spring and stuck it right back in my pocket as good as new.

The keeper of firearms and artillery at The Royal Armories (I want this guy's job) discusses the revolvers used in the TV show Peaky Blinders.

The curator of firearms at the Royal Armouries talks military bullpups with some good pictures of unusual weapons. Skip right ahead to 23 minutes to start the lecture.

I just got a cautionary e-mail from my shooting club. They are advising hunters to be wary: https://www.heraldmailmedia.com/news/nation/hunter-found-fatally-stabbed-beaten-on-grounds-of-new-jersey-boy-scouts-reservation/article_d158f355-f7e5-5f14-895c-e9061f59128d.html

Caribou already mentioned wool insoles for your boots. Get two and switch them out every day. They will work better, last longer, (and smell better) if they air out for a day between uses. I also second the suggestion that you look for some military surplus heavy wool pants. I used to have a...

Dude Dog said: Shooter ? Spot on! The opening scene.

Gonna bump this from #441 with a clue. Spotter: "Two men, approximately ... forty goats." Sniper: "They're not on anybody's side. We don't have to shoot them."

Yes. I love the gun shop scene.

"Lieutenant Cantrell, with a reputation as a dead shot with all weapons going back to his cadet days on the Hudson somehow misses with his service pistol at 50 yards. A miss mind you that allowed the prisoner to escape." Sgt. Rutledge (John Ford and James Warner Bellah team up again for...

"You know they stopped making these in 1903."

"Gentlemen, if we fail and are killed, I certainly hope the world DOES go to war!" The Wind and Lion - great, great movie

"You always keep that carbine cocked?" "Only when I carry it." El Dorado? Here one for you tough eggs: Give a guy a gun, he thinks he's Superman. Give him two and he thinks he's God.
