No it doesn't cover exigent circumstances. There was none there when the police arrived and saw the guy alive and well. Shit grade warrants? I've never seen any warrant that wasn't contested to some degree. Of those that were contested maybe 95% of them were settled in the judge's chambers and of those that went to formal hearing 90% of those found the warrant valid. That's less than 1/2 percent not valid. You also need to understand judges look after their careers too. A judge authorizes 100 warrants and 70 or 80 of them are ruled not valid. That's not a way to work your way up the judge ladder. Same way if LEOs make bum arrests. Doesn't help their career. IANAL but I beat one judge on a speeding ticket before I was a LEO. I beat him on court rules. That's another story. IANAL but I have guided young prosecutors on more than one occasion. You don't understand exigent circumstances. It's not a bad thing. A a LEO walking down the street hears "help me". Maybe people engaged in kinky sex. If that's what it is it's over. You follow a guy (or girl, criminals come from both sexes). They have committed a crime or you a warrant for their arrest.. They go into a dwelling, not theirs, you go in. You're following someone with 10 kilos of heroin. They go into an address with the drugs. Seems like it's the final destination. You pop them. What problem do you have on exigent circumstances? SCOTUS has ruled on examples I've given. Do you believe in the COTUS?

Glad it worked out for you. Your story proves those who profess you should tell the police nothing are wrong. You acted correctly are were on your way.

Can you quote the statute that requires police to assume you don't have an FID?Not trying to sharpshoot you only trying to learn. Police in NJ can query your FID like they do your drivers license. Then they know you have one. Of course it's easier if you just show it. You would have been covered by the exemption of coming from the range even if you didn't have an FID. You weren't doing anything wrong with or without. Your story about being stopped proved a point. If you don't want to answer questions don't leave your rifle case or holster in the open.

Actual experience? Is that because I remember people driving DeSotos? Even if he made it back to Newark, Hoboken, Jersey City or wherever his apartment was the police would still be looking for him. Many here on this forum said, "they should have let Aitken go". Yeah, sure. Imagine the press with, "Police don't do anything with a person who has been reported suicidal". Before I go further I'm a supporter of Constitutional Carry. Many use Aitken's case as a story about someone being abused by the system. I see him as a whiny little boy that never thought of the consequences of his actions. He is far from a poster boy. NJ firearms law sucks. But we have to live by it...until it's repealed. We are law abiding citizens.

Hollowpoint charge was being used as a stand alone charge. Ergo the status of the other charges had no effect on it. Aitken's biggest mistake IMO was saying what he said to his mother. Apparently he said it with enough sincerity to concern her. I don't think saying they were going to put out an APB on him a bluff. I used to hear them 100 years ago when I was on the police department, "Emotionally disturbed individual headed for Newark from Cherry Hill in a Grey DeSoto, NJ reg ABC123. Believed to be armed with a handgun. Use caution".

IIRC, Aitken's conviction on possession was overturned not because the appellate court found him not guilty. It was because the judge during the trial refused to inform the jury about the moving exemption. The magazine charge was thrown out because the police did not test them. Both were procedural errors. Aitken stood trial for all three charges he was arrested for. Yes, the hollowpoint law in NJ is not an add on charge. You can be charged with it alone. As a matter of practice it is used as an add on charge to other firearm violations. Aitken's problems started with him trying to play the sympathy card with his mother who called police. He was gone and was talked back into returning to his mother's. He then spent considerable time talking with police at his mother's and consented to the search of his car. What were the police supposed to do? We got a call from this guy's mother who says he's threatening to kill himself and he has a gun in his car. Should they have ignored it? Let him go when the gun was discovered? They exercised, IMO, the only option that was available. There were people charged only, and only, the possession of hollowpoints law. That pretty stopped over 20 years ago. Undoubtedly there are thousands of hollowpoints being transported hundreds of times all over NJ on a regular basis. No one gets arrested for it.

IIRC the way the law is written you don't need to have the FID with you.

You are technically correct. I'm still looking for a prosecution of someone transporting hollowpoints from one residence to a new one.

FWIW, I've never been disappointed in Magpuls.

Cheap doesn't always work. I'd get the Glock 10 rd mags. Others may have suggestions on after market magazines that work.

IIRC the gas tax in NJ is linked to the funds required to maintain highways. If the state doesn't collect enough in gas taxes the tax automatically goes up to compensate. Now there is the push for electric cars. If this is successful in 10 years you won't be able to afford the cost of gasoline in NJ. How do all the "enviromentists" think what is going to provide the electricity for the 50,000 recharging stations Biden has promised. We have more oil in the ground than the entire Middle East.. Oh for the days of the Trump Administration when we were energy independent.

Also dangerous to navigate if you don't know the area. Is that a big coral head in 20 feet of water or a small coral head in 2 feet of water. It could ruin your "hull" day.

I related what someone told me 20 years ago and prefaced my statement with FWIW. Last time I did any kind of fishing is when I lived in Key West and that was over 30 years ago.

I agree. If you have the stock on a rifle that's a different story.

FWIW I met a marine biologist from NOAA back in the late 90s, early 2000s. Unbeknownst to many NOAA monitors ecosystems. They kept a small boat at the NJSP Dock in Port Newark. She was unloading some fish they caught. I asked her where she caught those. She responded, "Here in Newark Bay". I said, "I wouldn't eat them". She said, "I would. At least for the past few years I've been testing fish from here". One of the indicators of polluted water is low dissolved oxygen levels. Go back to the late 60s, early 70s, The oxygen level in Newark Bay and the Arthur Kill was....zero!

A psychologist would seem to be "other satisfactory proof" but I agree with you to use a psychiatrist is specifically mentioned.

I remember names of mental health professionals who are 2A friendly being brought up in other threads. Not much difference in the ability of a psychologist or psychiatrist in diagnosing a mental condition. The difference in treating is a psychiatrist can prescribe drugs. I've no experience in handling such matters but I would think you need to have report read that the doctor sees no reason the person should be barred from owning and handling firearms. We all have our quirks which are no danger to anyone including ourselves. If these are listed on an evaluation whoever makes the decision may not feel comfortable if the evaluation discloses one is slightly OCD or was depressed when their dog died. The less information given to the powers that be the better.

PM me on what you're looking for.

What kind of revolver did you buy? What kind of ammo you looking for?

You'll get substantially more if you sell them privately.

AFAIK there is no need to notify any LE agency in NJ that you're movjng.

From what I know you need to have the guns permitted before you move to NYC. That's not cheap. If that's what you intend to do you have to leave the guns in NJ. No choice on that. There are ranges that have storage but IANAL and would advise you on seeing one in your situation. If you permit the guns in NYC I see no reason you couldn't bring them back to NJ to shoot as long as you're going to a range. If I were in the same shoes I would leave the guns in storage in NJ until I had them permitted in NYC. Sorry I can't be of more help.

That Falcon Arms may be new IDK. I believe the old Falcon imported Taurus back in the 70s. Taurus in the 70s was a decent gun but most didn't pay any attention to Taurus until the 80s. I know I'm at odds with a lot of people about Taurus but I have a Taurus model 66 I bought in 1988 for $85 (half the price of a S&W M19 at the time) that's had a bazillion 357s through it that has given me no problems. Not as good of a trigger like a Smith but I'd never sell that revolver!!!

Spesco was an importer of inexpensive firearms based in Atlanta. Falcon was one of the revolvers they imported. AFAIK they've been out of business for some time.

@JohnnyB there's drive by bayonetings just about every day!!!
