Electrical tape over gun barrels.

Police will look into your vehicle when pulled over.
As you know NJ sucks regarding firearms so I dont keep my pistols in a bag that looks like Im going to the range.
I use a Metabo case for drills and fits two pistols nicely with ammo and mags. Just need to find foam.

Sometimes for variety, I'll look up pictures of targets, save and print them out. ("Aim small, miss small.") A clear, zippered plastic bag that once had a bed sheet in it is just the right size for 8.5x11 paper, or larger targets folded up.

Check these (Magswitch) out. I found them on a woodworking forum. They make it easy to remove the magnet from the base metal. A little pricey, but they work great.



Thus the metric system did not really catch on in the States, unless you count the increasing popularity of the nine-millimeter bullet.

Great idea. I do find them very useful. I would add that having several is great to separate the parts.

Harbor Freight has sales on these all the time and they are basically free sometimes.

Broken link.





"The designer of the gun had clearly not been instructed to beat about the bush. 'Make it evil,' he'd been told. 'Make it totally clear that this gun has a right end and a wrong end. Make it totally clear to anyone standing at the wrong end that things are going badly for them. If that means sticking all sort of spikes and prongs and blackened bits all over it then so be it. This is not a gun for hanging over the fireplace or sticking in the umbrella stand, it is a gun for going out and making people miserable with." -Douglas Adams

“It is just as difficult and dangerous to try to free a people that wants to remain servile as it is to try to enslave a people that wants to remain free."
-Niccolo Machiavelli

The trouble with fighting for human freedom is that one spends most of one's time defending scoundrels. For it is against scoundrels that oppressive laws are first aimed, and oppression must be stopped at the beginning if it is to be stopped at all. -Mencken
