Yeah. 95% of my flying being out of JFK basically kept all but the closest parts of PA out of contention. We looked, couldn't find anything we liked in the parts of PA that wouldn't have me have an insane drive to work. When I'm on reserve and get put on short call, I just need to be able to be at any one of EWR, LGA or JFK (My choice) but even though EWR would be my "Anchor point" for a place in PA, the reality is I get a EWR trip maybe once or twice a year.

Thanks. I usually only touch GA when someone needs a Twin Bonanza checkout, which given the limited fleet size is "maybe every 3 years" as I'm one of the few people with enough time in type to keep the underwriters happy, who is still a current CFI, and has a current medical that can be available sometime before the end of time. Friends who are moving in with us until their house finishes getting built are more into GA, he's another airline guy, his wife used to own an amphib, forget what it was. It was some flavor of Dehaviland, either a Beaver or a first gen Otter. They might be looking for a good club.

Older when hired, so the only bases I can hold a 767 in are NYC and LAX. The Atlanta based competitor I work for's biggest minus is our pilot bases suck. If we had a Texas or Florida base I'd have gone there. Atlanta is pretty much a no go for my wife. She had a very bad experience when we were stationed in the bible belt from everyone freaking out over her being Jewish and either trying to convert her or shun her. It was a weird 3 year tour there. She refuses to go back to GA or FL north of I-4.

I have a pad near JFK getting sick of Uncommutable trips, which with the service being cut down to 3-5 flights a day from Norfolk. I've been driving from Virginia. 378 miles one way from my house to employee lot. To be frank, I'm getting too old for that. I gave my wife the geographic range of "can sit short call reserve on the couch" and frankly everything we found in reasonably close PA, even using Newark as my anchor point (I can use EWR, JFK or LGA) was absolute shit and horrible schools. When I was pushing two hours to EWR the housing got reasonable and better schools, but 2 hours no traffic to EWR is pushing 4 in realistic non rush hour but not 2am to JFK. Wife's best friends husband works for United, they are living with us while their house gets built in Kinnelon, they have a more stringent reserve distance but they only have to cover Newark. I cover Newark, JFK and LaGarbage but 95% of my flying (757/767) is out of JFK. I bid reserve by choice most months. I prefer days off to go to dirtbike races over where I go on trips.

Flying own plane isn't an option. First. Can't park it at jfk. Second any place I could park it is now another half hour at least. Third, by the time you preflight, file flight plan and get started you are already 30 minute's once you got to the airport. I've been in this industry a long time. Commuting into JFK is a once in a blue moon and expensive. Heck I only dropped a friend off there once and it was well over $500 between port authority and FBO fees. Our 90 minutes is based on no traffic. That's for "short call" legality. If they call mid rush hour diring a snow storm, I get there when I safely can.

I'm in a seniority based job (Airline) We don't have a pilot base in a location my seniority will support that is gun friendly that my wife is OK with moving to. Years ago we made a deal that when I retired from the Navy she'd get a say in where we move after years of fun things like her being the only Jewish lady under 100 years old in the place the Navy sent me. When I was in the reserves we lived near my reserve squadron and I commuted to work. 3-4 days extra a month gone. She's from NY. Family all over NY/NJ. The NJ thing is decided. Our VA house is already sold. I'm just trying to make the best of the gun laws and not run afoul of some law I didnt know existed.

Well, the options were NY, NJ or western CT. NJ was the best of the 3. I have to live within a 90 minute drive of JFK Airport. Shockingly it's actually lower taxes than VA.

The one I have in a what we call a pistol config here was never built as a rifle. The 4473 transfered the lower as "other firearm" (lower, receiver, etc) All of my ARs were transferred as "other firearm" and built from stripped lowers.

Non NFA AOW seems to be a way to be legal in NJ? The ? I had posted with M1 Carbine is more of a "why that of all things banned"

I'm moving to NJ, going to end up somewhere in Morris or Passaic County. Currently live in VA, and have a fair amount of firearms. 10 round mag limit, that's easy to find online but even the NJSP website has 15 as the limit, so I'm not sure where the actual "definitive definition" is. Things I have that I think are OK: M1 Garands Bolt Action Milsurps (K31, M91/30, M44, M1903, M1917 etc) Shotguns (Mossberg 500, and a bunch of skeet/waterfowl SxS and O/U) Things that seem to run afoul: Yugo SKS (fixed mag, but grenade launcher/attached bayonet) M1 Carbine (that makes me scratch my head) Things that can be somewhat reconfigured: A bunch of AR-15s, is there some sort of special license needed? These are going to stay at my brothers' house here in VA until I make more sense of stuff. I can't have 2 of the following: (1) A folding or telescoping stock; (2) A pistol grip that protrudes conspicuously beneath the action of the weapon; (3) A bayonet mount; (4) A flash suppressor or threaded barrel designed to accommodate a flash suppressor; and (5) A grenade launcher; So a fixed stock, bull 26" barrel AR with a 10 round mag is OK pistol grip is the one naughty feature. My A1 clone is not because pistol grip and non pinned/welded flash suppressor verboten. My M4Gery with the "collapsible stock" pinned to be non adjustable and the flash supressor pinned/welded onto a 14.5 barrel to make it over 16" is OK because it's pinned/welded? AR Pistol- No way, not gonna happen, just sell it to to a friend here in VA where it's legal? Pistol wise: Revolvers nothing crazy. 38/357s, 32-40, 22LR Pistols, Sig Mosquito, Glock 43, Sig 226, Springfield Armory doublestack 1911 just don't have anything over a 10 round mag? Ammo: No hollowpoints? FMJ, Semi-Wadcutter, Wadcutter, LRN all "ok" I'm finding conflicting info on NJ.GOV websites. Just trying to make sense of it.
