I've reported this on another forum and it was promptly deleted. In short with the alleged misappropriation of membership dues and the abuse by CEO Wayne Lapierre I no longer support the NRA. Wayne Lapierre was receiving a $ 2 million salary and was taking lavish vacations, flying on private Jets and enjoying the high life on our membership dues. The board did nothing about this. Chartered as a charitable non-profit association , you decide if this was a proper way to run an association that supposed to exist for your 2nd amendment rights. Until they clean up their act they will never get another cent from myself. I am currently supporting ANJRPC and FPC.

Since the rules of qualification have changed for a CCW permit, I am considering purchasing a .22LR pistol. Much easier to qualify with and it avoids using 2 1/2 boxes of expensive 9mm ammo. Last time we all had to use about $50 or more worth of ammo just to qualify.

Pritzer is an anti-gun fanatic and has the political connections on his side. The assault weapons and magazine ban was upheld by the Illinois supreme court by two judges that Pritzer donated a million dollars each to for their election campaign. The owners of those rifles are being told to register them with the state by Jan 1 2024 OR be charged with a crime and confiscation . The news is that only .02% of the owners have complied so far. The supreme court now has a petition to hear the case for a final decision. There is no guarantee the the court will take the case but the circumstances look like a back room deal was made. The gun ban also clearly violates the second amendment. If the supreme court takes the case, we hope that the decision will be in favor of the second amendment. I believe that it will.

Microstamping is a ridiculous idea. Even if the cartridges fired were able to be stamped and identified; the criminal most often uses a stolen or black market gun that was not purchased legally. The bullet trace would go back to the original legal owner who most likely has nothing to do with the crime. This will produce more problems for the legal gun owner.

Many of the older quals did not include draw from holster for each and every segment. That is why my private instructor said that the old qual will be invalid after Dec 31st and that he could not certify us on the SP-182 form. He was good about it and charged me only $50 but his point was not about making more money but putting his name on a form that we have certified to the new standard. Point is that regardless of the date if you passed, a qual that did not require holster draw, you will have to re-qual. Some ranges/instructors may let you slide but once they sign SP-182 for you there could be some possible liability on both ends. .

Basically gov't buildings and state owned property are off limits. You also cannot carry to a place that serves alcoholic beverages. You can carry in your car, to the grocery store, in restaurants that do not served alcohol, fast food places, department stores, on the street and on private property. You just cannot enter residences without permission.

I will go with the opinion that during the trial over the cancel carry bill in Sept, the 3rd circuit court knowing the intention of the ANJRPC/FPC to take this to the supreme court if things do not go well; will only rule partially in our favor and keep it as it is now. The state of NJ will go along with that, we get screwed again, and Platkin then says see "we got guns off the street" and made the people of NJ safer. It may or may not go this way but with the same trio of judges that shot down most of the Bumb injunction, can we expect more? I hope that I am wrong .

That rifle on the wall of the laborer's cottage or working class flat is the symbol of democracy. It is our job to see that it stays there. ----George Orwell The statement is a big order to keep with Liberals continually looking to destroy our constitutional and God given rights. Regardless today is July 1st so where are the so called "new training requirements"?

This could be the right strategy but it will just add time. We just might get a watered down carry ban since the 3rd circuit knows of the NRA/ANJRPC appeal plan and may just give us enough to thwart this off. On the plus side ANJRPC has hired a top attorney to take this the rest of the way. Not withstanding, NJ carry laws are still very restrictive, with discriminatory; high fees, expensive training and no provisions for the inexperienced shooter, or the handicapped to exercise their 2nd amendment rights .

Gun owners in NJ may be a tiny minority but Czar Murphy won the governorship by less that 1% of the vote. In a close election we can make a difference. As for the trial on the cancel carry bill; it is likely that the same two far left judges will swing the ruling against us. They know we will seek an enbanc ruling from the entire court if the decision is not favorable so it may be that they will decide on a compromise BUT leftists are not ones to compromise. They want to legislate from the bench.

I believe that it is possible to get an en banc decision on the cancel carry bill but it appears some strings are being pulled to get the law reviewed during trial by the liberal justices. Those two Liberals did a job on us by granting a stay on the states request. Most sensitive places are now back in effect. Will these awful leftists be the judges in the Sept /Oct trial that decide on the constitutionally of the cancel carry bill or we will get an en banc decision from the entire 3rd circuit court of appeals?

What until you see the new training requirements imposed on honest gun owners who want to carry on 7/1. . They will be very very tough and will include long hours of classroom training, timed fir, draw from holster requirements and distances back to 25 yds. .

The way that I understand it, is if that if a business posts a no carry sign, that is their policy. If you do not comply when asked you must leave or you could be charged with trespassing. Just avoid businesses with that policy. Problem solved.

Just added my Sig365 to the court order for carry. Somerset County did amend the court order but required a new certified qual form for that firearm and a copy of the pistol permit to prove ownership. They were nice about it, went by the book but that was OK by me. They turned my request around in less than two weeks. Next time we renew we will should be able to qualify with a full size pistol instead of the micro compact pistols that many of us carry. I am told at the range that new shooters are having trouble qualifying with small compact pistols that are better suited for concealed carry.

Just a guess but I would say that the decision on a preliminary injunction to the cancel carry bill will be issued this week or possibly a week later. The court may not be able to drag the decision out much longer as "El Supremo" (our governor) is gathering his minions for the appeal to the 3 rd circuit court to uphold this unconstitutional law if they lose. In the end if this gets all the way to the Supreme Court the state will lose. Many of us have been carrying every day for the past 7 months and El Supremo should understand that there has not been a single problem from the 75,000 or so permit holders.
