Paul Mulshine is an opinion columnist for the Star-Ledger. He has been a VOCAL supporter of the efforts of the NJ2AS and was very supportive of the effort to release Brian Aitken from prison due to New Jersey's unreasonable firearms statutes. His views on the importance of individual Liberty and Responsibility are well known to NJ residents. He began his journalism career working for the Medium, the student newspaper at Livingston College, Rutgers University. In 1975 he took his first professional job as a reporter for the Ocean County Observer in Toms River, where he grew up. He came to the Star-Ledger in 1995. He lives at the Jersey Shore and is married and has two daughters. Don't miss this opportunity to meet and speak with Paul in the relaxed environment of an NJ2SAS meeting. Paul will conduct a Q&A session after his presentation, so come prepared with your questions. Please consider bringing a non-perishable food item for the NJ2AS food drive. Private charity has always been an American tradition. The NJ2AS will be hosting this appearance at the American Legion Post 129 on 2025 Church Road in Toms River, NJ at 7:30 PM the evening of Wednesday April 18, 2012. The meeting is FREE and open to the public. All are welcome to attend. *** FOR YOUR CONVENIENCE - PLEASE PREREGISTER AT WWW.NJ2AS.COM *** THANK YOU,

The plan is to have the petition printed out as many times as their are valid signatures. One copy each for AT LEAST the Governor, the Assembly, the Senate, and the Law & Public Safety committee of each house. The NJ2AS will deliver the PALLET of paper to the state house steps and call a press conference. ANYONE who is willing to stand with us is invited to be mentioned as a co-sponsor. Certainly, I plan to say that NJ Gun Forums members helped to make the petition a success. One small caveat. I downloaded the list today and there are almost 2000 non-NJ signatures. That is not a problem. It is nice to have the support of those in the FREE states who sympathize with our plight. HOWEVER, I think it is important that we are able to deliver AT LEAST 10,00 valid new Jersey signatures. So please keep promoting this petition on your websites, Facebook Pages, Twitter accounts (whatever that is - yeah I am old), and anywhere else you believe we can encourage people to sign. We still have a way to go, but we can easily accomplish this if everyone helps. You have to admit, it will be a statement. Thank you all for helping to make this a success.

If my opinion counts for anything here, I am asking as a personal favor that the subject of what the ANJRPC pays its director be submitted directly to the board of directors of the ANJRPC and not at a meeting of the New Jersey Second Amendment Society. Our group consists entirely of unpaid volunteers. Mr. Bach is not charging us to appear at our meeting, he is doing it as a personal favor to me at my request. You will only embarrass me by asking such a personal question in this context. If the question does get asked, I will not allow Mr. Bach to respond. I will go to the next question. When an individual gives his personal time to address the members and guests of the NJ2AS, I expect them to be treated with respect. I would suggest to someone who wishes to handle things differently, that they spend the two years necessary to organize their own Society, at which point they may ask whatever questions they wish. Alternately, they can have the guts to approach Mr. Bach in private, man to man, and ask the question. If you don't have the guts to do it face to face, don't hide in a crowd of people like a coward and try to provoke a response. It simply won't happen. Thank you,

Those of you who were unable to attend the recent meeting of the New Jersey Second Amendment Society featuring 2A ROCK STAR Alan Gura, the video of the presentation is now available on . The Q&A session (probably the BEST part) will be available on our website - www.nj2as.com shortly. Please check our MEDIA section for availability. Thank you,

*** Fellow Patriot Scott Bach to address the NJ2AS - Wed. 3/14/2012 *** The New Jersey Second Amendment Society is extremely proud and pleased to present NRA Board Member and Executive Director of the Association of New Jersey Rifle and Pistol Clubs (ANJRPC) Scott Bach, for an evening of information and updates. The meeting will be held at the Gun for Hire training facility located at 75 Rutgers Street in Belleville, New Jersey on March 14, 2012 at 7:30pm. Scott has been involved in the fight to restore and preserve the right to keep and bear arms in New Jersey for more than 15 years. As both a citizen and an attorney, Scott has used his innumerable talents to keep New Jersey from tumbling into the dark ages while dragging it kicking and screaming into the light. Scott Bach is in a unique position to bring the recent series of attorney presentations (which included Evan Nappen, David Jensen and Alan Gura) into perspective for New Jersey Firearms owners. The members, officers and board of directors of the New Jersey Second Amendment Society are eagerly looking forward to Scott's presentation. Scott has also graciously agreed to conduct a Q&A session immediately after the formal meeting. This will CERTAINLY be of interest to all our members and guests. “Defending Freedom does not depend on someone else. It depends on each and every one of us. Our strength is a large and vocal membership that is not afraid to stand up and be counted.” - Scott Bach For more details please visit our EVENTS page at www.nj2as.com ___________________________________________________________________________________________ The Directors and staff of the St. Frances food bank wish to express their sincere gratitude for the donated items from the February 29, 2012 meeting.

The New Jersey Second Amendment Society is looking for towns in the following counties that have additional conditions or requirements when processing firearms permit applications: 1) Atlantic 2) Cape May 3) Cumberland 4) Salem 5) Gloucester If you have been subjected to additional requirements, such as being forced to sign a waiver, fill out an additional form, list the members of your household, list previous employers, provide personal information other than what is required by statute, or any other additional requirement that you are not sure about, we would like to hear from you. Please be assured that we will not take any action on your behalf without your prior approval. At this time we are just looking to identify those towns in your area that may not be in compliance with NJ firearms statutes with regard to the processing of these applications. Please email us at [email protected] to let us know. If you can include examples of the additional forms that would be helpful, but is not required. (If you live in Egg Harbor Township, you do not need to reply). Thank you for your help. Sincerely, Frank Jack Fiamingo President - NJ2AS

Walk-ins are allowed. Sorry about the registration problem. Frank

I hope you can - it is going to be a GREAT meeting!

EXCELLENT!

***REMINDER*** DON'T MISS TONIGHT'S MEETING IN BELLEVILLE WITH DAVID JENSEN!!! 7:30pm at Gun For Hire Firearms Training Center on 75 Rutgers Street. For details please visit us at www.nj2as.com and click on "EVENTS". The meeting is free and open to the public - donations are WELCOME. See you all this evening - THANK YOU! Frank Jack Fiamingo President - NJ2AS

Excellent! I will look forward to seeing you there. David is a WONDERFUL speaker and a really nice guy. I am CERTAIN that you will enjoy meeting him.

The New Jersey Second Amendment Society is extremely proud to be presenting attorney David Jensen as the featured speaker at its meeting on Wednesday, January 11, 2012. David is the lead attorney in the case known as Muller v. Maenza. This case will have a significant impact on the future of CCW here in New Jersey as it challenges the "justifiable need" clause in the NJ Firearms Statues. The meeting is CRITICALLY important to all of us who firmly believe in the fundamental right of FREE individuals to keep and BEAR arms as protected under the Second Amendment to the Constitution. I have personally seen David speak at the SAF Gun Rights Policy Conference in Chicago this past September. He is an incredibly knowledgeable and dynamic speaker. There will be a Q&A session after the presentation you won't want to miss. You can here a bit from David on Gun For Hire Radio Episode #20 The meeting will be held at Gun For Hire Firearms Training Center on 75 Rutgers Street in Belleville, NJ and will begin at 7:30 pm. This presentation is the second in a series of presentations by attorneys who are critically important to RKBA in NJ and throughout the Nation. Last month attorney Evan Nappen gave an AMAZING presentation and answered as many questions as those in attendance could supply. On February 29, 2012 we will be featuring Alan Gura. I don't think I need to explain to the participants of NJGF why Alan is so important to the future of RKBA throughout the U.S. All interested parties are invited to attend this FREE presentation. There will be a Non-resident CCW licensing processing program prior to the meeting. For details about this meeting and the CCW licensing processing program, please visit our website at www.nj2as.com. Thank you, Frank Jack Fiamingo President - NJ2AS

The New Jersey Second Amendment Society and Gun For Hire Training Centers will be running a Non-resident CCW licensing program the evening of Wednesday, January 11, 2012 at Gun For Hire Firearms Training Center on 75 Rutgers Street in Belleville, NJ. Details can be found at www.nj2as.com under "EVENTS". Processing will begin at 6:00 pm and run until 7:30 pm. PLEASE NOTE: This is not a course, it is the processing needed to apply such as photo, fingerprinting, notarization, etc. Prior requirements (using Florida as an example) can also be found on our website under "CCW INSTRUCTIONS" The cost for just the processing is $35 for member and $65 for non-members. If you join the NJ2AS at the processing you may receive BOTH your membership and the CCW processing for a discounted fee of $60. There will be a meeting immediately following the CCW processing at 7:30 pm. The featured speaker will be attorney David Jensen. David is the lead attorney in the case known as Muller v. Maenza which will significantly impact the future of CCW here in New Jersey (see separate post).

Most definitely do not post any more details. The first thing any good lawyer will tell you is not to say anything to anyone about anything. Once you have decided on a lawyer (the suggestions already made are good ones), please have your lawyer contact the NJ2AS, ANJRPC, NRA, SAF, GOA and any other organizations that might be willing to help. Your lawyer can reach me at the New Jersey Second Amendment Society by emailing me at [email protected]. Once I know the details, our Society may be able to provide some support. Please speak to a lawyer first and follow their advice. Unfortunately, New Jersey is one of the worst places to have a firearms infraction. I wish you all good luck in the meantime and will expect a contact from your lawyer. Frank Jack Fiamingo President - NJ2AS

Just a reminder that Evan Nappen will be the featured speaker at the Saturday December 3, 2001 meeting of the New Jersey Second Amendment Society. The meeting is being held at the American Legion Post 129 on 2025 Church Road in Toms River at 7:00 PM. Even will be conducting an extensive Q&A session after the presentation and will also be having a book signing with his NJ Gun Law Guide being offered at a deeply discounted price. Prior to the meeting we will be conducting the Out of State, non-resident CCW licensing processing for those who are interested. Details for both these events are listed on our website at www.nj2as.com. FREE registration for these events can be made on our site. Fees for CCW processing for members and non-members are also listed there. All are welcome and encouraged to attend this EXCELLENT opportunity to interact with Evan Nappen. Again, the meeting is free and open to the community. Of course donations are welcomed, encouraged and greatly appreciated. Check our website for other upcoming events such as NJ CCW case attorney David Jensen in January and ALAN GURA of "Heller and McDonald" fame in February. If you are interested in these meetings and events, I encourage you to become a member of this dynamic organization. We are currently engaged in a lawsuit against the NJ Division of State Police and litigation against individual towns and municipalities that refuse to comply with NJ state mandates for FID and PPP processing. This campaign is known as Operation Establish Compliance and it deserves your contributions and your support. We can not accomplish the mission before us without your help. As is so often said, if you are not part of the solution, then you are part of the problem. If NJ firearms owners fail to ACT, the consequences of that failure will only become much worse. Look at California!

No worries, my brother. Please just do the best you can. No one can ask more than that. I appreciate all your effort. :-)

EXCELLENT! Thank you for letting us know.

The NJ2AS meeting this Wednesday November 9, 2011 in Winslow is EXTREMELY important. In addition to updating you on the various programs, litigation and activities of the New Jersey Second Amendment Society, I would like as many people as possible to show their support. We have invited the State President of the New Jersey Federation of Sportsmen's Clubs - Frank Virgilio to join us. Among the variety of reasons you want to meet Frank Virgilio is: He heads up an organization of hunters and sportsmen that boasts a quarter of a million members. We *NEED* to hear what this man has to say! His group has been responsible for more PRO-2A legislation in New Jersey than any other organization. For instance they are responsible for decreasing the limit for bow hunting to within 150 yards of an occupied building. They were able to get legislation allowing Cross Bow hunting in New Jersey, as well as Bow hunting on Sundays. These accomplishments are no small feat in a State that uniformly has no respect for individual rights and freedoms. Arms are arms, and his group "The NewJersey Federation of Sportsmen's Clubs" is DEFINITELY doing something very positive about the right to keep and bear arms for legitimate purposes. We need to learn from him. We also have to find ways of working together with hunters and sportsmen in order to achieve our mutual goals. What better way is there then to run a Q&A with the leader of the largest club in NJ. So PLEASE, if there is *ANY* way you can make this meeting on Wednesday, I need you to be there. This is an opportunity to work together with one of the largest and most successful sportsmen's organizations in our state. I think that is a VERY worthwhile endeavor, don't you? Thank you, Frank JackFiamingo President - NJ2AS

OK - WHY IS THIS NECESSARY? I thought we were BEYOND this petty bs!
