Just heard about this this morning, great news.

I think I remember reading somewhere that you have to obtain a PA address to carry in PA. You may want to check PA laws regarding carry, I can't remember where I read that. Found this: What are the changes regarding reciprocity with Florida. It was suggested that only State Residents of Florida would receive reciprocal privileges? Note: It has come to the attention of the Office of Attorney General that there has been confusion over the applicability of Pennsylvania's reciprocal privileges with regard to the residency status of an individual who has been issued a valid license/permit. It is the position of the Office of Attorney General that recognition within Pennsylvania is based on the issuance to an individual of a valid license/permit by the reciprocal contracting state, and not on the license/permit holder's place of residence. More information here: http://www.attorneygeneral.gov/crime.aspx?id=184 yeah, check this out: http://licgweb.doacs.state.fl.us/news/concealed_carry.html (4) These states will honor the Florida concealed weapon license ONLY IF the licensee is a resident of the State of Florida. QUESTION 4. I have a Florida Concealed Weapon/Firearm License, but I am not a legal resident of Florida. Can I travel to the states that recognize Florida licenses and still carry a concealed weapon? Most of the reciprocity states will honor Florida non-resident permits; however, authorities in a number of states have informed us that there are specific provisions in their laws that restrict the terms of their mutual recognition agreements ONLY to the LICENSED RESIDENTS of other states. Therefore, those individuals who hold Florida licenses but who are not residents of Florida cannot carry concealed weapons in these states. Please take careful note of those states listed above that have a reference to Footnote 4 after them. BE ADVISED: Because gun laws are subject to change or different interpretation by state courts, we recommend that non-resident Florida licensees call or write licensing authorities in the states in which they will be traveling to obtain the latest information on this important topic. Contacting the PA state police might be the best solution.

Looking forward to it

http://www.foxnews.com/us/2011/01/12/fla-jogger-wont-charged-shooting-teen/ TAMPA, Fla. – A pistol-packing jogger in Florida won't be charged for shooting and killing a teenager who attacked him during a midnight run. Prosecutors said Tuesday they are convinced Thomas Baker acted in self defense when he fired eight shots at 18-year-old Carlos Mustelier near Tampa in November . Prosecutors say Florida's "stand-your-ground" law was a factor in their decision. The law, passed in 2005, gives people the right to use deadly force as long as they "reasonably believe" it is necessary to stop another person from hurting them. Baker told police he reached for his gun when the teen punched him in the face. Baker has a concealed weapons permit. The teen was hit four times in the chest, back and buttocks. He died at the scene.

So I think this is considered self defense in my book. According to the news there was 2 of them.

I hope they catch this scumbag and he gets whats coming to him. My prayers go out to the family, and his fellow officers as they hunt this .... down. He should get old school treatment as he used old school tactics to commit this horrific act. New Jersey should have the death penalty for these types of acts.

yeah that's true, what's the penalty for riding a bike without a registration. Finally police can pull over illegals on bike's and make up some of the lost tax revenue... The thing that sucks is that this will effect the American citizens too.

I heard on the BBC that China just refurbished an old Russian carrier, and this will be their first carrier. The U.S. has over 100 years of naval experience according to one of the hosts on the BBC and our Navy is pretty much badass. Even if they develop a missile that can take down a carrier, it's kinda hard when you have missiles that can intercept other missiles lmfao.

I got nabbed on my way back from Florida a few years back by a cop who took a picture (he was sitting on the side of the road all his lights were out at about 2AM) all the sudden I see a flash and I was doing 55 in a 50. I guess it's speeding, but cameras defeat the whole discretion thing which kinda sucks. Must be looking for a quick buck from an out of state resident.

should of let me know, I was 6 years old I would of joined in with ya.

11/25/10 sent out, received the license Friday 1/7/11.

Good topic for 101.5 to discuss if you ask me. Id like to hear what the majority of NJ thinks about this.

yeah in my personal opinion I feel Senator Sweeney is one of the good guys, he may have to go along with stuff from time to time with his side of the isle as with other political figures, but he seems like he is very reasonable and understanding. I think if Sweeney and Christie got together without other politicians jumping in with this, that and the other nonsense I think they could come to some good agreements. It's just the squabbling back and forth, stupid no sense legislation, and constant bickering amongst themselves is what leads to things not getting done for the most part. I'm just glad they are at least trying to put together some reform for a change, get this state back on track to being fiscally responsible. I personally wouldn't mind Sweeney's idea of consolidating or sharing services, I think the idea of "home rule" was gone long ago, plus look at how broken down we are compared to other states. Sweeney mentioned the garbage personnel of a few towns, just multiply that number by... well a lot and you can save a pretty penny... you start thinking of other things that can be shared/consolidated and you can make up for a lot of revenue, maybe even pay to keep some state/local employees on, who in other terms you would have had to fire.

Might see If I can get the day off to get out there, I'd hate to miss it..

ohhhhh man... lonegan is gonna be there, now I am upset I'm missing this meeting!! Great guy, and he throws awesome parties All you can eat bbq with a good band and free beer

Same thing, unless your already a NJ2AS member. Than all you need to bring is 25 bucks.

I'm sorry make sure it's a COPY of your NRA course certificate or military document.

I can bet if they released a NJ poll, even on the star ledger page asking NJ Citizens if they feel you should be able to defend your home from intruders I guarantee even the liberals will agree. This is more of a common sense issue for basic defense of family and property. I don't see how you can be against defending your family unless your a criminal yourself. I think if this were brought up for public discussion you would see the support for such a bill on both sides of the political isle.

I hope there is a good turnout to this as well. I hope 1 day i'll see the meeting dates changed to a thursday or friday night this way I can travel anywhere in the state without worrying about anything I wont be able to attend this one, but I'm curious of the turnout, if you attend please let me know how the turnout was ballpark.. Hoping about 100 attend this like the central jersey meet, it is really worth it especially if you live in the North area. They supply: Fingerprint card Application Pictures All you need is $25.00 if your an NJ2AS member or $50.00 for Non NJ2AS members and your certificate of passing an NRA course or a Military form.

still waiting on mine as well.

http://www.cfif.org/htdocs/freedomline/current/in_our_opinion/florida-self-defense-law.htm Florida’s ‘Stand Your Ground’ Law: It Ain’t What the Bradys Say It Is Most readers of this website will not be surprised that some anti-gun advocates have serious difficulties with facts, truth, logic and the derivatives thereof. Still, Brady bunch* attacks on Florida’s new self-defense law, which took effect on October 1, are so viciously misleading as to eliminate any credibility the group has or ever again will have, even among the more responsible of their own kind. Given the brevity and simplicity of the law, so clearly distorted by the Bradys, the cynical calculation of the group has to be that no one will actually read it. On its website, in newspaper ads and in flyers handed out in Florida airports to inbound tourists, the Bradys repeatedly label the law as the “Shoot First” law and warn visitors not to argue with, shout at or make threatening gestures to “local people.” A Florida map is made to resemble a handgun. There’s more misrepresentative, hyperbolic scare-mongering. The Florida law is not a gun law. Period. It contains zero references to guns or shooting, unless you feel propagandistically compelled to count one of those ubiquitous legislative “Whereases” that references the Florida Constitution’s “right of the people to bear arms…” The Florida law is a self-defense, self-protection law. It has four key components: * It establishes that law-abiding residents and visitors may legally presume the threat of bodily harm or death from anyone who breaks into a residence or occupied vehicle and may use defensive force, including deadly force, against the intruder. * In any other place where a person “has a right to be,” that person has “no duty to retreat” if attacked and may “meet force with force, including deadly force if he or she reasonably believes it is necessary to do so to prevent death or great bodily harm to himself or herself or another to prevent the commission of a forcible felony.” * In either case, a person using any force permitted by the law is immune from criminal prosecution or civil action and cannot be arrested unless a law enforcement agency determines there is probable cause that the force used was unlawful. * If a civil action is brought and the court finds the defendant to be immune based on the parameters of the law, the defendant will be awarded all costs of defense. Florida’s law, like countless others from legislative sausage grinders, could have been better drafted. It unquestionably will be challenged in court, over and over again, by those who abhor even the concept of applied individual self-defense or by legal gadflies with nothing better to do with their time. It is a tough law — on those with criminal intent. As is often the case, its ultimate goal is as much to deter as to be used. Whether it ever results in much change remains to be seen. But by removing ambiguities regarding legal responses to imminent threats to life and property and removing an obligation to retreat, the law attempts to rebalance justice on behalf of innocent, law-abiding Floridians, as well as the state’s numerous law-abiding visitors, specifically included. Whether those visitors are comforted or frightened by the law should be based on accurately understanding it, not blatant attempts by a faltering advocacy group to harm Florida tourism. i'd like to see statistics on how many gun owners have been robbed or burglarized or if the robbery/burglary rate decreased after this law was passed. I am sure it did, especially if it was advertised on news channels and throughout the state itself. Letting criminals know that if they do attempt a burglary or robbery there is a chance they are in the wrong house.

we already have that, it's called the abbot districts.

So probably be good to go out with an ethical hunter the first time around and get taught the right way.

plus if your town doesn't have a good place to eat, you can go to other towns to grab something awesome instead of another day at WaWa or whatever.

In this state study guide (hunterexam.com) they are mentioning ethical and non-ethical hunters. What is considered ethical and what isn't ethical when hunting. This might be something new cause I'm new to this altogether, but just going through the study guide, has there always been non ethical hunters? Seems like the state is separating ethical and non ethical hunters, saying non ethical hunters give hunters everywhere a bad name.
