    Anyone have experience with the following:

     

    1) Got a FPID at one address (house I own).

     

    2) Move out of state for 3 years (MA).

     

    3) Move back to NJ to a different address.

     

    4) Got a FPID for that new address.

     

    5) One year later, move back to the address in #1.

     

    I still have the FPID card for the address in #1. Do I need to reapply with my PD to update my address with the state?

     

    And, yes, I know I'm crazy for coming back to this place, but there was no choice. And to top it all off, I had an unrestricted LTC in Massachusetts. (Though I think I need it much more here.)

    The main thing that gets me is that they "close" at 10 PM, but won't let you shoot past 9:30, (maybe if you push them, 9:45.) I showed up at 8:55 one night and got to shoot for 35 minutes for the price of an hour.

     

    Plan on getting there no later than 8 PM if you want some real time.

     

    Besides for that, love the place. You come, you shoot, and nobody bothers you about anything.

    In fact I wonder why the SAF didn't make this argument. If the justifiable need requirement is what the State is going by, and someone does in fact show need, then he needs that permit Right Now. The mere fact that it takes them at least a month to even look at your application proves that the justifiable need is an impossible requirement which they do not take seriously, since you would not be able to get a permit until way after you begin needing it (assuming they approve it initially).

     

    All this just means that in order for you to be able to protect yourself in case of need, you would need a permit before the fact (like we have been saying all along). The current requirement is something of a contradiction in terms within the context of the broader set of firearms statutes.

     

    The proof for this argument is right here in this case. Finally, eighteen months later, they agree that Muller has need. What the heck was he supposed to be doing to protect himself for the past year and a half?

    Anyone have one of these? Looking into one for carry, since I am finding double stack autos to be too thick for my waistline.

     

    Interested in any thoughts you might have, and if anyone knows where I can see or shoot one.

    I just learned something new in the NY Times article on the subject. Apparently the fees collected aren't even used to pay for the administrative costs of the application, they are paid to the police pension fund. The only remotely plausible argument the city might have hoped for was to claim the detailed investigation is necessary for public safety and the fee covers that cost. This is so plainly a punitive cost to discourage people from exercising their constitutional right.

     

    It wasn't necessarily originally meant to "discourage." They may have just wanted the cash for their pensions, and this was one easy to get it where not too many people really complained.

    Same here,same time. These guys never mailed my certificate to me.

     

    If your wondering why i never called them on it, I forgot their name. this post just reminded me.

     

    Things could of gotten better in 3 years

     

    Or worse... I have a feeling they may not be "in business" anymore. I haven't been able to get in touch with them via either phone or email.

    There are still slots available for this class. If you want your UT and FL CCW permits, dont miss out on this class, its one stop shopping for prints, passport photos, etc. Anyone who knows what he UT curriculum is about will tell you the class is pretty basic... but our team ads quite a bit to the necessary curriculum and even the veteran shooters in the group learned a few things. And the classes are a good time as well. www.gappnj.com

     

    I am also going to want to apply for a CT non res permit, and that requires at least NRA Basic Pistol. Will this course be able to provide a certificate for that?

    The funny thing is if we were to get a ruling September that'd be considered rather quick.

     

    Man I wish I could find a job where reading less than a hundred pages and writing maybe 20 in six months time would be considered working quickly...

     

    To be fair, he also needs to go through every case referenced by every brief in this one. You know all those numbers and letters you skipped? He needs to go through those (or at least his clerk does). Then he should be (emphasis on should) thoroughly digesting all the arguments and case law before making any decisions. Then he must write his decision, being careful with every line not to say more or less than he means to.

     

    Of course he might also just be some shlub who will just dash off some stupid decision after doing nothing for months. I guess we will find out.

    Just hypothetically throwing this out there...

     

    Many FFL's have one price for up to 5 transfers per engagement. Of course only 1 NICS fee as well.

     

    Is it breaking any laws if say a person orders 5 rifles to the FFL/dealer, then has them transferred to him all for the one FFL charge + NICS. Then turns around and sells 4 of them to NJ citizens with valid FID's and NJDL's. Would this constitute a straw purchase or other illegal activity. I can't find anything in the statutes that is clear on it.

     

    Hypothetical purpose is saving on FFL + NICS fees for a group buy.

     

    I think this would constitute illegal arms dealing more than a straw purchase. You can't just buy and sell 5 rifles without an FFL.

    The debate is that it is NOT legal where you start. It's not legal to transport in NJ unless you're under an exemption. You'd be covered under FOPA if you were just passing through NJ which makes no sense.

     

    For example, if you get stopped in NJ, what is your reasoning for having the gun in your trunk? FOPA? Anyone could use that excuse. Aitken could have said he was headed to PA and FOPA applied. I guess....

     

    You know, when people argue back and forth, the law is not clear.

     

    I would have thought that legal where you start meant your house. I can legally carry in my house, and can legally carry in PA. So according to FOPA, I can travel between the two. I would love to know which of us is correct.

    This thread's title got me thinking. Originally I thought you were going to say that you found a rifle on the street or something. So does anyone know what would be the law for that?

     

    Suppose you are, I don't know, digging in your backyard, and find an old rifle. According to property law ("finders keepers"), it would probably be "yours." Especially if there is no way to find out whose it was (previous owners died or whatever.)

     

    So two questions: can you keep the gun, and do you even need an FPID card to do so?

     

    Again, this is assuming that no one else could possibly make a legitimate claim of ownership.

    Now that the fight I anticipated has been resolved, I have one more question about where to purchase.

     

    My options as I see them are Ramsey Outdoor, Dicks (both in Paramus), or Meltzers. (I am in Clifton.)

     

    Does anyone have any experience with these places as regards to prices on shotguns?

     

    I know I will most likely get the best service/knowledge at Meltzers, but if it's gonna cost me an extra $100 it's not worth it.

    Looking to pick of my first shotgun tomorrow. I want to use it for sport and have it around the house...

     

    Definitely getting a pump, good quality brand, 18" - 22" barrel, highest capacity I can find.

     

    I am not sure of two things: 12 or 20 gauge (or another?), and what sort of ammunition should I get (for both purposes).

     

    I know there are many opinions (and options) on both questions, but I'm just looking for a basic answer that will work and won't confuse me or give me too many choices and make my head explode.

     

    Thanks for your help.

    Just read this in the local weekly paper. "During a lawful search of Ray's residence a small quantity of cocaine was seized along with hollow point bullets which under New Jersey law are prohibited weapons". He was charged with one count of fourth degree Possession of Hollow Point Bullets along with other charges. How could that be? I thought hollow points are legal in your own home.

     

    Ray Ray? What you doing with toot? :icon_e_wink:
