    A couple things. Report all accidents to insurance companies no matter how small.
    Anything that happens with a car today is over $500 so file a police report. (You did that which is good.)

    The law firm sent you a letter on the cheap as a fishing expedition most likely. Its not worth going to court over. (The inflated number is a negotiation technique called anchoring. You now will typically respond with a number higher than you would have otherwise be cause the opening number was higher.) This leaves the law firm with some most to pay their client and whatever person wrote the package up.

    You got asked about veteran status because NJ has a statue that you can't move for default judgement against anyone active in the armed forces. This gives the opposing attorney an easy means to verify this and proceed with court and a default judgement should you not respond.

    Bottom line. Call your insurance company said see if you can still get coverage and legal protection. Do not ignore the letter else you'll get hit for default judgement and whatever legal fees they want to claim.


    Good luck.

    I know these threads can get mixed up, I was referencing ARs (or all SA) A3697. There is no record of sales numbers in NJ for these except for the FFL log ins. so how do they account for how many there are and being classified as "common"? And the answer is......
    I don't believe that the ATF has access to that level of data. Numbers manufactured- yes.

    When they trace a specific firearm, they call the manufacturer who refers them to the distributor who tells them the dealer who tells them the end sale target.

    They'll be able to get the number of NICS checks by state and what general type(hand gun, long gun, other or multiple) but specific sales to end users aren't filed with them unless one person buys more than 1 handgun in a 5 day period or it's a machine gun, sbr or similar form 4 weapon. ( these won't happen in NJ)

    Angry Erik's Lafayette, NJ

    Tiny little place that sprang up a few years ago. Owned by a wonderful family and makes some of the best beer. Favorite here is "The Dainty Viking" A blonde ale that bashes you in the head like a shield maiden.

    I never got a letter copy from my doctor, he just submitted something to the police. I did tell him to put on there if he wanted to that they don't need to contact him in the future, but honestly I don't think I'll be applying for additional handgun permits. I only did it this time because I was already applying for a change of address, beyond my doctor both times I've done an FID application it was annoying to have to constantly get on my friends who i used for references to make sure they fill the form out and mail it back, I don't want to be constantly doing that. Along with $2 for the application and $20 for the background check EVERY single time, it's too much honestly. seriously unconstitutional in this state how we have to pay for a NICS check twice and go through these hoops every single time we want to buy a handgun. This is why in the 3 years I've been an FID holder, all I've bought were shotguns and rifles.
    And the NJ handgun permit system is successful. Make it so painful for the law abiding that they won't bother. :(

    An honest question, aside from the whole political "don't give an inch" aspect, why should civilians be able to legally purchase something that, essentially, turns a semiautomatic weapon into an automatic weapon? It seems like the cons outweigh whatever pros exist for bump stocks. I'm not looking for a fight/argument.  This is just a reasonable, honest question by someone who owns multiple guns.  I'm not the enemy. I'm just trying to understand why something that allows a gun to fire at that rate, by just holding down the trigger, should be legal when automatic weapons are illegal. Thanks in advance for respectful responses.
    Automatic weapons are not illegal. They are, however difficult to obtain and the number available are capped.

    If you consider for a moment what other stocks might be classified as bump stocks since you can bump fire any rifle, stock not withstanding, you'll see why banning by feature isn't a good idea.

    IMHO that is really pushing the envelope! How many handguns fire the 7.62x39 round. I don't care if some odd Thompson Contender takes it. That is a bullshit stretch! Ain't gonna happen!


    If any handgun has ever been made in a specific caliber, then ATF considers that the AP ammo regulations then apply to that caliber. That’s why you can’t buy AP ammo for cartridges like 7.62×39 and several others.

    Even more confusing is it’s a caliber restriction not bullet.
    A .308 size bullet in 30-06 Springfield is fine - no handgun has been made. The same bullet in a .308 Winchester cartridge is banned.

    Did they even ever sell AR's to begin with ?... never seen them on the website.. never seen them in the stores... and that's in multiple stores in multiple states.  Maybe you could have ordered them through them idk .. but with their prices who would have done that to begin with? Cant imagine they have a large profit from gun sales to begin with.  Sounds like they are tooting their own horn there when there is no reason to toot it.
    Now i would LOVE to see the gun and ammo manufacturers start to fight back and say they won't sell to the states / PD's and government what they cant sell to the public. Not that they would ever do that of course, but that would be awesome .. oh .. NJSP you want to buy 30 round mags for your AR's? ... sorry the law abiding gun owners in NJ cant buy them so neither can you.
     
    This is what as known as the Barrett response. Barrett won't sell to California law enforcement because CA bans civilian ownership of 50bmg.

    Not sure about it's impact.

    Currently enrolled with US law shield. Their membership services are customer friendly and get the job done. Never had to call for a shooting so I can’t comment there. I went with them since they’d cover me for possessory offenses as well as homicide defense in the case of a shooting or other altercation.

    Already in place.  Selling property, have to file estimated tax form with payment before new owner can have deed recorded.  MIL just sold last of NJ property past year (Not NJ resident), not only got a 1099 from buyer's lawyer for 2017 income taxes, NJ sent estimated tax payment booklet for 2018,  

    There are ways around this but it requires planning and delays your exit.

    I just read the statute and the administrative code. I thought a qualifiying shoot was a requirement.  It seems that it's just one of four possible ways to meet the "thoroughly familiar" standard.  I'm an NRA certified instructor in pistol so I think that will work.
    Any NRA pistol instructor I believe is qualified to sign off. If you want to have an extra edge, go to one with a record of signing off retired LEOs

    Regarding the loaded magazine issue. I have spoken with 3 different attorneys (Nappen included) regarding transporting loaded magazines they all advise not to do it.

    The following is speculation and not settled law. It's not illegal to place ammunition in a magazine. You might even be able to transport a firearm with an empty chamber and loaded magazine and not have a loaded firearm.

     

    If you go to trial, do you really want to be tasked with educating 12 men and women as to the difference while the prosecutor loads the ammo into the magazine, loads the magazine into the firearm and muddied the water for you.

     

    It's entirely possible that you received advice from a set of lawyers not based on the law but on the practical defensible application of the law.
