Having lived in the PRNJ after Florio's version of the AWB (and it was/is a real ban, as in you go to jail for possession no matter when the offending items were acquired), I can tell you that I never brought anything that violated NJ's unconstitutional laws to a range. However, I had plenty of it. In fact, I derived great pleasure during my escape from the PRNJ to Texas, Free America when, upon passing the "Welcome to Delaware" sign, I turned to my wife and said, "Now you won't have to bail me out of jail anymore." I naturally got the bugged-eyed, slack-jawed look that I had wanted and anticipated, plus a chance to explain to her (a gun and gun law novice) all about the Il Duce gun laws that we had just left behind. I told her that I had a 200-year free pass to Rahway State Prison about 3 feet behind us, though I neglected to tell her about the several hundred hollowpoints that would have undoubtedly bumped my potential sentence up to 1,000+ years. She and I are both glad to be out of that tyrannical Hellhole and in a state where owning a gun is considered normal and not a sign of being a latent terrorist or child murderer.
I find it amazing (in a very bad way) that I would be thrown in jail for at least 20 years in NJ for doing what I do regularly in Texas (carrying a .45 loaded with 8 hollowpoints), as well as the mags mentioned above. What does Equal Protection mean if stepping over an imaginary line on the ground within the United States turns you from Joe Average into a dangerous criminal?
