Bobcat Sighted in Sussex County with Video

[Bobcat Sighted in Sussex County with Video]

There are bobcats around. I found one dead on the side of the road about 10 years ago. I also knew a guy who's chickens kept disappearing. He sat outside one day waiting, and saw a bobcat coming towards the chicken coop. And one day I heard a bobcat, carrying on making all kinds of noise as I was sitting in my tree stand during bow season. These all happened in Gloucester County.

[Biggest NJ gun ban ever: How was this missed?]

Everyone relax, IANAL, but after reading this bill, Ammoland and everyone else is wrong. Did anyone actually read the bill? It is not the "Biggest Gun Ban Ever"  (not saying I agree with it) The bill only bans firearms described in subsection k.  ---  "a person who transports, ships, sells, or disposes of a firearm manufactured or otherwise assembled using a firearm frame or firearm receiver as defined in  *****subsection k.***** of this section which is not imprinted with a serial number registered with a federally licensed manufacturer, including but not limited to a firearm manufactured or otherwise assembled from parts purchased or otherwise obtained in violation of subsection k.   ----    SubSection 'K' reads  "Purchasing firearm parts to manufacture a firearm without a serial number.....a person who, with the purpose to manufacture or otherwise assemble a firearm and without being registered or licensed do so as provided in chapter 58 of Title 2C of the New Jersey Statutes, purchases or otherwise obtains separately or as part of a kit a firearm frame or firearm receiver which is not imprinted with a serial number registered with a federally licensed manufacturer"       ....So the way I read it, complete firearms imported by companies such as Century Arms are not affected. This will not affect your Red Ryder BB gun, or any other gun legally obtained.

Does anyone have any info on reading the actual bill and law. I'm not the best at wading through reams of legalese, but would like to read the actual docs. Thanks

Would firearms importers like Century arms international qualify as federally licensed if the firearm has a "foreign" serial number, but has a "Century Arms" stamp on it meaning it was available/processed through them?

No, not according to the article. the serial number must be registered with a federally licensed manufacturer. (Not importer)  - "This would include most modern imported rifles, shotguns, pistols, and revolvers, plus foreign firearms, and military surplus firearms from countries around the world, if these companies were not federally licensed manufacturers (e.g., Lugers, P-38s, Mausers, Arisakas, Enfields, SKSs, Carcanos, Webleys, Norincos, Mosins, etc.)."    See full article on Ammoland here https://www.ammoland.com/2023/05/new-jersey-politicians-enact-largest-gun-ban-us-history/

[Total cost of one (1) purchase permit]

Yep, $46 for one permit. Then you will need 2 background checks, one for your purchase permit and another when you actually buy the gun. So you pay $16 for a NICS check after you have already been approved to purchase a handgun.

Any reason not to pick this up? 

Yes, the price is good because it is a scam website. Do not buy from here or you will lose your hard earned cash.  They want Zelle, cryptocurrency, venmo, or cash app, and they don't even require a FFL.

[spotted these guys in my back yard]

Since we're showing off our owls, we have a couple of Eastern Screech owls hanging around. If you go outside before daylight, you can hear them calling. Not very big at all, maybe 10".

Located in Gloucester County, prefer to use my FFL in Mullica Hill ($40 transfer fee), but will travel within 30 min. Must have valid FID with matching DL.  First to post “I’ll take it” wins the sale. $170.

[For Those That Have Applied for Handgun Purchase Permits]

Elk Twp, Gloucester County, $25. They were collecting $2, then emailed everyone and asked them to send in $23 more dollars.

[Pump Shotgun - Magazine Cap?]

I could be wrong, but my understanding is a mag fed pump action does not have a 10rd limit. HOWEVER, if the magazine in question can fit into another semi-auto shotgun, then it would be illegal. So any 7+ magazine that would fit in your VRPA40, would also fit in the semi-auto VR80, and therefore be illegal. I believe your 9rd mags are illegal because they would fit in the VR80. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

Every time I email all my assemblymen/legislators/senators  Comcast/Xfinity locks my email account and forces me to change my password because my account has been compromised (so they say).  I even tried not doing a mass email, but send to a few at a time. Calling them on the phone (Comcast) is like talking to a rock. Anyone else have this problem?

[Fishing question]

that being said I’ve never once been challenged for my fishing or hunting license 

Sorry if I'm getting off subject, this reminds me of something that happened 40+ yrs ago. My brother in law & I go fishing one day, back when we were young and dumb.  For whatever reason he chose not to buy his license. No boat, fishing from the shore, my BIL gets his lure stuck in a tree. Well, here comes the game warden. "Do you have a fishing license?" the warden asks.  My BIL, without missing a beat, replies, "No sir, I'm trying to catch birds. Can't you see my lure's in the tree?"    The warden was not amused and issued a ticket anyway.  He did let me slide for not having my license displayed.

[Fishing question]

 

Do I need a license to help a child to fish?
That depends on the level of assistance. For baiting a hook or netting and
unhooking a fish, a license is not required. If you cast, retrieve or fight
the fish for a child, a license is required.

This is found on pg 11 of the 2020 NJ Freshwater Fishing Digest, although it is not mentioned in the 2022 digest.

[Contact NJ Assembly Members - ANJRPC alert about poorly written legislation]

I sent an email to everyone on the list and so far have gotten 3 responses saying they would not support the bill. About a half dozen generic responses  more or less saying they would read my letter when they get time.

[Vacuum Sealers]

Stay away from Cabela's/Bass Pro sealers.  They all have bad reviews. I bought one from Cabela's, never worked right from day one. Made do with it until it stopped sealing properly. Just bought a Hamilton Beach sealer last week, and so far, it is head & shoulders above the Cabela's  (VacMaster) for less money.

[RIA VR 80 semi auto]

I love my VR80. Comes with two 5rd mags and a magazine limiter to limit mag to 2 rds for hunting. Too bad about the 6 round limit in NJ, they do make higher capacity mags.  You need to use high velocity shells, 1300fps or better, for proper cycling. Also comes with 2 gas pistons, for light and heavy loads.

[Handgun Permit question]

1-2 months or longer is outrageous. I just got permits last month, took 18 days from the day I applied until I got them, although the date on the permits were dated 3 days before I got them.

[Lever guns]

I have 2 Henry lever actions, a Mare's Leg and a Golden Boy, both .22lr. The owners manual says repeated dry firing can eventually peen the edge of the chamber, making it difficult to load & extract cartridges.

All Hi-Point Carbines now come with a threaded barrel. That along with the pistol grip is prohibited in NJ. Just need to get the thread protector pinned/welded. A lot of places won't ship to NJ if it is not state complaint as is, so even if your FFL agrees to do the work, you are SOL. In stock at Shooters.
