And in fact there has been a blind dude who won his lawsuits to keep his FPIDs (after some mildly questionable but not actually illegal behavior)

I moved across town and had to get a new FPID; had to do the full fig with the same PD that issued my original one.

It's not just local. I was shooting at the NRA HQ range a while back and the guy in the lane next to me was asked to pack up the camcorder he was using as a spotting scope. (The rule was well-posted, so...) Sent from my DROID RAZR HD using Tapatalk 2

Note that NJ is not in the situation of IL, we have a carry permit law. This suit just seeks to strike down the "may issue" part of it. If that happens, the rest of the law will remain in force (including the qualification requirements.) Theoretically, no further legislation would be required to comply with an order similar to that of the 7th Circuit or that of the Maryland District Court. Which would leave carry permits I the same place as permits to purchase or FPID, I suppose (remember, those are nominally shall-issue by state law already.) The big question is whether NJ would appeal a ruling similar to the one handed down by the 7th Circuit or not. Sent from my DROID RAZR HD using Tapatalk 2

NJ won at the district level, not the circuit level. Third Circuit just heard oral arguments for our case per earlier posts up-thread. I had forgotten about the NY cases, but I don't think they've been argued or decided at the Circuit level yet. (There's an interesting one out of NY that hinges on what "arms" are; does the term cover things other than firearms, in this case nunchaku?) Sent from my DROID RAZR HD using Tapatalk 2

That's the first Circuit Court decision after Heller and MacDonald. 4th Circuit was argued in November, and the third circuit is argued next year, yes?

Second amendment protects everyone's rights...

FWIW - one of the laws struck down in Heller was a safe storage requirement; DC required firearms to be stored in a locked safe or disassembled, and SCOTUS directly struck that down on both parts. Whether the NJ law is distinguishable, I couldn't say, not being a lawyer. (I do, however, secure my firearms from casual access)

Pretty sure that under federal law, a prohibited person may not possess either firearms or ammunition.

Governor Christie is against forced reciprocity, BTW., on states rights grounds... Sent from my Transformer TF101 using Tapatalk 2

Check out www.pagunblog.com - the proprietor and a friend of his have been working on a 3d-printed AR-15, and I believe a cnc-milled 1911. In PA, as the name implies

We fill out a CoE in PA to buy a longarm because of federal law, which requires FFLs and purchasers to follow the laws of the purchaser's state when buying longarms out of state.

That's not what the law says. /pedant. Of course, if the firearms laws in NJ were enforced by the letter of the law, I would have had my P2P in less than 2 months...

I just hope they program their tax collection systems correctly for NJ; not everything is taxable...

By the letter of the law, .22lr isn't handgun ammo, not being designed exclusively for use in handguns (think about what the "lr" stands for.)
