3 hours ago, always_an_eagle said:There are secure (double pad lock, video survalience) drop boxes in several locations in each county. If you are say register to vote in Somerset county for example, make sure you drop off your ballot in Somerset county.
Its not the security of the ballot boxes themselves (yet) but what can happen to ballots between the boxes and daily delivery to the county clerks office.
Just adds one more opportunity for something to go wrong, or outright voter fraud, especially in democrat run counties.

Here is the NJgov link on how to vote Nov 3rd in N.J.
I think the safest method is: Hand the (properly completed mail-in) ballot directly to a poll worker at a polling place on Election Day.
Less chance of any funny business that way and it would not be a provisional ballot.
However, as intended there may be lines because of the reduced polling places open, plan accordingly.

Increasingly, I'm living my life by the simple principle of WWMD? What Would Murphy Do? Then I do the other thing.
The Dems are after the marijuana tax revenue first and foremost.

The OP's problem is the PD he is applying through is requesting a note from a Dr. stating he is mentally fit to own a firearm.

3 hours ago, redbankresident said:@Bomber So you're saying that because I admitted to having been on anti for a short period in my life I'll most likely be denied?
Either way - given that no doctor's psychiatrists/psychologists I've called seem willing to write the note. It seems like a forensic evaluation is the only option.
That being said, I'm a bit reluctant to spend the money if you think I'm going to get denied regardless of the findings.
I thought you found a Dr. willing to write a note but thought the price was too high?
If you get clearance from a Dr. you shouldn't be denied. However, if the application proceeds without the Dr. clearance as requested that could be used as a reason for denial.
The Detective probably knows this and is giving you a heads up.
In any case I would find out exactly what the status is of your application as of now. You don't want this to inadvertently be denied.
The point is you've submitted the application, answered yes on question #26 now you have to follow through or withdraw the application and forget about owning a firearm in N.J.
IMO If you can get it cleared up for $750 out the door count your blessings and move on. Sucks but this is N.J.

12 hours ago, redbankresident said:Thanks for the information! From my understanding, I haven't actually been denied just yet. They just want some further documentation in order to move forward with the application process.
So you've submitted the application and answered yes? Therefore, unless it can be withdrawn you'll most likely be denied.
If you end up with an FID denial on your record you'll have pay the $750 anyway then reapply to get it cleared
Sorry, but if you've found a Dr. that is willing to write a letter satisfying the Middletown PD just fork over and be done with it.
Others have paid much more for expungements in order to secure an FID.

I'd list on Gunbroker with Fat minimum bid and see what happens. Let some Glock collector who will appreciate have it.
The bidding wars on that site are crazy these days.
Current production S&W M&P 9mm EZ's are selling for $6-7-800 regularly.
Colt AR's, tactical shoguns also crazy prices.

Dems probably figured best not to push their luck for now.
They've already got a good chunk of their wish list: Millionaires tax, permanent corporate tax increase, 5 billion to the pension fund, mail-in voting, gas tax and parkway toll hike, not a bad year.
Now they just wait for the mail-in voting to pay off.

2 hours ago, JackDaWack said:Sweeney has been opposing the raise for 2 years now... so we will see.
These people aren't as dumb as you think and they know there is a tipping point.
Oh, I don't think they're dumb. Murphy is the most dangerous governor N.J. has ever seen.
However, I can't see Sweeney bucking Murphy at this point, they're probably amazed at what he's gotten away with the last six months IMO.
The mail-in voting is the whole ball game (along with their other changes to voting eligibility;, parolees. illegal aliens, etc).
If N.J. Dems win big in November tipping points will be irrelevant.

1 hour ago, JackDaWack said:No one is missing the point of increased fees, we have had an open thread on it since news broke about it.
I do appreciate the clarity that its part of this bill. However, my hopes are... and really just hopes because the state doesnt listen.. is that they will remove it from consideration as in the past. They don't serve to gain much money from it, certainly not enough knowing they will be sued over it...
Its not about the money, just another brick in wall of gun control. And they don't care about getting sued, the goal is get it signed into law and ask questions later.
Best case scenario, but highly unlikely, the fees are reduced more inline with inflation. Then Murphy comes back next year with renewable FID cards.
If he wins re-election all bets are off, expect a N.J. safe act.
Sorry to be so pessimistic.

3 hours ago, mustang69 said:When the tax increase fails to raise enough to balance the budget, and it won't for obvious reasons , Murphy will then demand the threshold be lowered and the rebates will disappear - just like the property tax rebates of years past. Pretty soon anyone with a job will be paying that rate.
Right. These people are not stupid, they know those that can will leave and revenues will fall short of projections. The milllionaries tax is just for openers.
Increasing the sales tax is next on Murphy's wish list.

3 hours ago, Kadayo said:Any update on this? The millionaires tax is happening. Has anyone heard about the gun permit fees increases lately?
I would say its a done deal. Gun permit fees are small potatoes compared to the millionaires tax.
Anyone think Sweeney is going to buck Murphy after the rampage Murphy has gotten away with the past six months. They're all probably in awe of him right now.
-
Suffice it to say, if the legislators agree to the millionaire tax everything else Murphy wants in this budget is a done deal as well.

13 hours ago, fishnut said:but if you have family members in the home you might want to consider an AR instead
Another thing against a pump action shotgun for a primary HD: Can female family members handle a pump shotgun.
For a primary HD weapon you want something high capacity (10+1 RD in N.J.), able to be operated with one hand, and easy for female shooters to use if necessary. Pump shotgun doesn't fit the bill.
The recent riots show they're armed and come in numbers, so time for a serious re-assessment regarding HD weapons IMO.
Same goes for home invasions, almost always multiple attackers.

4 hours ago, kc10dave said:I Most shops I've visited have recommended my first be a pump action 12 ga. I really like the Stevens 320 and also the Winchester SXP Defender. Any and all thoughts welcome. Thanks
Pump action shotgun would not be my choice for a primary HD weapon.
That role goes to a modern semi-auto 9mm handgun. Back up would be an AR rifle.
Watch the Kyle Rittenhouse videos and imagine yourself in his place on the ground trying to rack a pump action shotgun.
If you absolutely must have a shotgun at least get a semi-auto that you can take to the range and not get beat up by the punishing recoil of a 12 ga. pump action.

10 hours ago, 45Doll said:Yes the proposed fee increases are ridiculous. But don't lose sight of the fact that since it's creation in 2016 the tax on gasoline has gone up over 250%!
You may recall they drafted the law to permit increases in the tax anytime they didn't meet their income goals. How convenient!
That was Chris Christie's going away present to the Dems. What a gift, they get their gas tax hikes automatically yet can forever blame Christie.
One of, if not the most, stupid unnecessary things he did.
His term was up in a few months, he didn't have to do anything, he could have let Murphy and the Dems own the gas tax hike, but noooo..

On 8/29/2020 at 10:19 AM, StarGazer said:Thanks for the info and links! If I had the FID in hands, I would strongly be considering the Bushmaster at that price. It's a great deal. I do have concern about the availability of 5.56 ammo. It seems to not be available anywhere I've looked. I was leaning toward a .308 rifle, such as a SA Socom M1A1 as my first purchase as that ammo is a little easier to find. That being said, I am definitely picking up an AR15 as well.
The FID in hand is not necessary to order firearms online.
The item gets shipped to an FFL who retains possession until the transfer. Simply complete the purchase online, item is shipped to your FFL who then holds it until your paper work is ready to complete the transfer/NICS process. (Note; some online sellers may ask for a copy of your FID, its not required and I would avoid them).
I recommended Monmouth Arms, because they will hold online purchases free of charge I believe and do the compliance work;. One stop shopping.
As for 5.56mm ammo it can be had, although prices are way up. This seller usually has a good supply and doesn't hassle N.J. buyers

9 hours ago, StarGazer said:Hello Everyone,
I do have a question that hopefully someone can answer. As most know, the gun stores are very limited in their offerings of guns and ammo due to the panic buying that has been happening across the country.
Once again, than you all.
AR-15 rifles can still be found online although prices are at premium these days.
Try searching https://www.gunbroker.com or https://gun.deals
Have it shipped to http://www.monmoutharms.com for the transfer and compliance work.
If I was in the market right now I'd grab this Bushmaster M4 LE trade-in.

Excellent condition for a trade in: Side sling swivel, light, detachable carry handle, chrome lined M4 barrel, can't believe this hasn't sold yet.

http://www.monmoutharms.com would be my first and only choice for a gun shop, others can help with ranges.
Please don't listen to the dinosaurs recommending revolvers as a first or primary self defense handgun.
Revolvers: The good- Classic beautiful pieces of craftsmanship (vintage models at least), badass looks, accurate, hold or increase in value.. The bad: Low capacity, heavy, high recoil (especially .357 Mag), difficult to reload in high stress situations, long heavy DA trigger pull, pricey ammo.
Hobby/range gun to add to your collection later on okay, first defensive handgun no, IMHO

25 minutes ago, 10X said:That one still infuriates me. Because one of the perps had been picked up for illegal possession of a handgun 9 months earlier. He was found passed out on a lawn with a loaded handgun in his pocket. But he was released on bail, and subsequently found not guilty of the charge, because he had passed out due to an overdose of PCP. And so he walked because he was deemed by the court to have been too drugged up to be aware that he was carrying a loaded handgun. Which is the most convoluted, f*cked-up application of 'two wrongs somehow make a right' that I've ever encountered.
And it's why Karif Ford was a free man when he entered the Short Hills Mall parking garage planning to carjack a Range Rover.
Yeah, the media dumped that whole story ASAP.
If the circumstances were turned around the Dems would have been falling over themselves to pass laws named in honor of the victim.

True.
However, I always think about the car jacking where that guy was shot in head in front of his wife at the Short Hills mall.
Might have been a far better outcome had he been armed. Classic case in favor of CCW

1 hour ago, Nam Le said:Personally I don't think no concealed carry is a deterring factor of gun ownership. Carrying is just the second priority and won't cancel out the need to have one in home by itself.
I think firearm ownership would at least double in N.J. if CCW were ever allowed, especially these days.
Way too many hoops to jump through to purchase in N.J. then have to leave it home.

PSA- How to Vote in N.J.
in General Discussion
Posted
Or hand your mail-in ballot to a poll worker at a polling place on Election Day and it will not be considered a provisional ballot.
You "vote" in person but using your ballot received in the mail, not a provisional ballot available at the polling place.
