    "Pollard was charged with third-degree aggravated assault, third-degree criminal restraint, third-degree terroristic threats, seven counts of second-degree possession of an assault weapon, four counts of second-degree possession of a machine gun, seven counts of third-degree possession of a weapon without a serial number, third-degree possession of a short barrel rifle, nine counts of fourth-degree manufacturing a firearm, fourth-degree possession of an extended firearm magazine, fourth-degree possession of a firearm suppressor, second-degree endangering the welfare of a child, and third-degree hindering apprehension of prosecution.

    Federal charges are also expected to be forthcoming, the prosecutor’s office said."

     

    Wow his balls must be HUGE!

    Chances of this being fought or will just be plead guilty on lesser charges so they can keep the laws on AWB, 'ghost' gun etc?

    The guy could be a dirtbag, I don't know but still don't agree with all the charges.

    What is everyone going to expect as renewals begin this year?   Just my thoughts as someone involved in the process.

    If it is coming through FARS (email) I don't really expect any communication from my local PD other than for payment for handgun permits.  When I emailed my updated Use of Force training they replied on email confirming receipt and I'd rather they do that then me guessing if it went to a junk folder or into thin air.

    These were all pre-bruin,  ALL THESE PRE-BRUIN DECISIONS need to be refiled.  lawsuits need to be filed daily!    why are we always on the defensive.   we are always "waiting" for a court resolution.   keep the attack going!

    Unfortunately for us while the BRUEN decision has change the field challenging a law requires STANDING and that's where they screw us.  Someone has to be prosecuted for whatever is being challenged.  And then how deep are your pockets?  No guarantee anyone would be successful as the State can just drop charges if they think they will lose just to keep the law on the books and keep charging/prosecuting people.

    In the OP case of a delayed right, good luck we don't need Bruen for that.  30 days from when?  I get all kinds of opinions from everyone I ask from the day you submit to the day the issuing authority has everything they need including fingerprints to 'start' a background check.

    My town has issued P2P in less than 3 weeks but as much as 6 months and it usually depends on whatever backlog there is similar to NICS (delay, delay, delay)  Just hard to fight.  I'm sure when we say do it faster and state says oh we need more people then so pay us more... (I realize we are paying more now - $25/ea and it's not any faster)  During the pandemic there was a huge demand and 3 months in I called to check on my request and was told mine was somewhere in the pile of 1400 submissions and we only have 2 detectives working firearms so it will take some time.  Got them 6 months after request.  But my request for 3 permits earlier this year was done in less than 3 weeks.  I'm guessing but based on the news and recent events there is likely high demand right now = longer wait times.

    It will take as long as it will take and hassling your local PD probably will not help.  Patience and politeness goes a long way.

    How handy are you?

    Here's my $.02 on my LG experience.

    We have LG front loading washer and dryer purchased in 2006.  Both have needed repairs over the years.  The dryer died with about 8 years of service and we replaced it with almost the same model.  It's gas and at the time I didn't want to mess with it.

    The washer was trouble free until about 2 years ago when we got a code for the temperature sensor.  This was a cheap part and relatively easy fix.  Then early this year it began to sound like a freight train on spin cycle to the point there was a burning smell.  This was a progressively worsening noise that got louder over time.  Did some Googling and figured out it's the bearings and watched a few YouTube videos on how to replace them.  This required disassembling the entire unit... not the easiest of jobs.  I needed my wife to help get the tub out and then I spent 2 days getting the old bearings out without damaging the tub.  Got it all back together and it's about as quiet as it was new.

    While I had it apart I noticed date stamps on parts from 2005!  I was also impressed with how the unit is put together/designed giving me confidence should I have to ever work on it again it wasn't as bad as I initially anticipated.  It looks intimidating when you get the cover off and while there are a bunch of screws and hoses and other small parts I just labeled everything as I went.  I did suffer a few scrapes on my arms along the way as there are sharp bits all over the inside. 

    Before the front loader we had a top loader that lasted almost 8 years before we replaced it with this one.  They don't make them like they used to and seem to have an engineered lifespan.

    Maytag probably has the longest warranty but that is only for parts and doesn't cover accidental damage (think some object left in the clothing causing damage.)

    While my LG dryer didn't last as long as I hoped the washer has been a champ and wasn't too bad to fix when it had problems.  Though I'm sure if I had to pay someone to fix it for me I would probably just gone ahead and purchased something new.

    Top loaders seem to last a little longer but also seem to require more maintenance over the years.  6 in one, a half dozen in the other, I really don't have a preference for front or top as my wife does most of the laundry.  When we purchased these I'm sure it was based on aesthetics and features as we didn't know one brand from another.  My wife mentions she likes the front loaders are easier on her back.

    I guess we have been lucky with our LGs?  I don't know but we are fairly happy with them and would probably buy them again.

    Anyone out there have experience with dimmable LED's?

    Recently found EcoSmart dimmable LED bulbs.  I have one above my kitchen sink next to an incandescent.  They are practically indistinguishable in as far as brightness when dimming and color temperature.  I give them 2 thumbs up coming from someone that hated LED/CFL as the color would give me a headache (too institutional.)

    The only hiccup is when I first turn on the switch the LED takes half a second to come on.  It's a little annoying but waiting for the incandescent to fail before I replace it.

    I don't think this answers your question entirely but in A4769 they are looking to amend N.J.S.2C:39-6 is amended to read as follows:

     f.     Nothing in subsections b., c., and d. of N.J.S.2C:39-5 shall be construed to prevent:

         (1) A member of any rifle or pistol club organized in accordance with the rules prescribed by the National Board for the Promotion of Rifle Practice, in going to or from a place of target practice, carrying firearms necessary for target practice, provided that the club has filed a copy of its charter with the superintendent and annually submits a list of its members to the superintendent and provided further that the firearms are carried in the manner specified in subsection g. of this section;

         (2) A person carrying a firearm or knife in the woods or fields or upon the waters of this State for the purpose of hunting, target practice or fishing, provided that the firearm or knife is legal and appropriate for hunting or fishing purposes in this State and the person has in the person's possession a valid hunting license, or, with respect to fresh water fishing, a valid fishing license;

         (3) A person transporting any firearm or knife while traveling:

         (a) Directly to or from any place for the purpose of hunting or fishing, provided the person has in the person's possession a valid hunting or fishing license; or

    Jeep I am trying to find an answer for you... fumbling through 2C:39 & 2C:58

    You do have a valid question as this was also my understanding that openly carrying an unloaded long gun was valid with FID.  They did kill 'open carry' but I'm assuming that only relates to CCW (handgun)

    The sensitive places did exist before all these changes they just expanded upon them.

    I'm also checking bill 4769 if it mentions long guns.

    I'm primarily fishing for trout at Round Valley or Merrill Creek.  Always did best with live herring.  I wouldn't mind getting my own herring however that is closed in streams and only allowed in certain lakes which can't be taken from the shoreline.  Can't use a cast net in trout stocked waters so perhaps I could try a dip net at Merrill Creek but no method is allowed at Round Valley.

    I just don't see it being worth pissing fishing time away trying to catch herring, I'd rather just buy them if that's still possible.

    Bait shop I got the shiners at (The Sporting Life - Nice guys!) mention there's one guy up at Lake Hopatcong but that's a bit of a hike for me.  I would have to get them the afternoon prior and try to keep them alive overnight.  I'm getting desperate so I might just have to give that a whirl.
