  1. I think our chances of a national AWB would be closer to 100% than it currently is.
  2. The flyer uses the same template - or someone wants us to think it uses the same template - as the Black Civics' Election Night Watch Party flyer. Either way, it's pretty clear that this is a trap. It wasn't created by any pro-2A group and it would be a horrible idea for anybody to show up at a state capitol with guns. If you take peaceful, armed protestors and add violent counter-protestors with flagpoles and bear spray, I think we all know who's getting blamed. They're already trying to link Michigan in May (armed, non-violent protest) with January 6 (unarmed, violent protest) to push their "but, but, but what if they had guns in D.C.?" narrative. They would just love an armed violent protest to boost public opinion for more gun control, especially AR-pattern rifles which play a minuscule role in the "gun violence" figures.
  3. Guys, this situation is no different than our statutes here in NJ. 2C:39-5(b)(1) clearly and unambiguously states that "[a]ny person who knowingly has in his possession any handgun, including any antique handgun, without first having obtained a permit to carry the same as provided in N.J.S.2C:58-4, is guilty of a crime of the second degree." Under this statue, absolutely nobody can possess a handgun without obtaining a permit to carry under 2C:58-4. But we all know that's not the end of the story. 2C:39-6 sets forth all of the situations when 2C:39-5 does not apply. Based on your logic, everyone should also agree that nobody can possess a handgun in NJ according to 2C:39-5, regardless of what the rest of the criminal statutes say. Respectfully, that is completely wrong. You have to read the statutes (and contracts) as a whole. I just thought it was worth bringing it up. We can agree to disagree (the attorneys I've spoken with have). We'll all do what we're comfortable with.
  4. Are you taking about Bach v. NH Dept. of Safety? The issue before the NH Supreme Court was whether, by requiring a NJ resident to first obtain a carry permit in his home state, NH was subjecting NJ residents to a higher standard than required by NH law. The result is that NJ residents can obtain a NH permit without obtaining one from NJ. The NH Supreme Court was not asked to opine whether a NJ resident could carry in PA with a NH permit. Even if it was and even if it had, it wouldn't be binding on PA. I'm not aware of any PA decision that interprets the reciprocity agreement, and I'm not willing to be the one who changes that.
  5. As with PAFOA, that is their interpretation and is of no legal significance.
  6. Of course. We're just talking about what we think words mean. I'm only saying what I'm comfortable. If you're talking about paragraph one in the reciprocity agreement, paragraph 1 is crystal clear. But that doesn't mean that paragraph 3 does not have meaning or, more importantly, legal significance. For example, you and your employer could enter into the following agreement: 1) You will show up at work. 2) Your employer will pay you. 3) This agreement only applies to the workweek and not to weekends. Paragraph 3 serves a purpose, no matter how broad and clear paragraphs 1 and 2 are.
  7. You pulled that from the AG website, right? You don't believe that the NJSP website is an accurate summary of the law, right? If you are charged criminally, you are charged under a statute, not a summary of the law on a website. Therefore, you have to look at the applicable statute. PA law requires you to obtain a license from PA before carrying, unless there is statutory reciprocity or a reciprocity agreement is in place. There is a reciprocity agreement in place with NH. The language in the reciprocity agreement is controlling (including any residency restrictions), not the general description of a reciprocity agreement on the AG website. You wouldn't carry in PA with a FL permit would you? No, you wouldn't... because the language in the reciprocity agreement doesn't allow for it.
  8. Maybe. At this point, I personally wouldn't feel comfortable using it in PA as a non-resident of NH. I think the language in the agreement explicitly limits the agreement to PA and NH residents. Whether people have been carrying in PA with NH permits is completely irrelevant to my analysis. Paragraphs 1 and 2 state that PA will recognize NH permits, and NH will recognize PA permits, respectively. I think we all agree on that. Paragraph 3 of the PA-NH Agreement says: "This Reciprocity Agreement applies only to the carrying of firearms by valid license/permit holders from respective states and not to any other types of weapons." In my opinion this language limits the agreement - albeit unintentionally - to permit holders from PA or NH. The paragraph was clearly supposed to limit the agreement to the carrying of firearms only, but was worded inartfully. As I read it, "respective states" means PA and NH. I don't think it can mean another other state. Therefore, paragraph 3 can also be read as: "This Reciprocity Agreement applies only to the carrying of firearms by valid license/permit holders from [PA or NH] and not to any other types of weapons." It says "license/permit holders from respective states." (emphasis added). It does not say "holders of permits from respective states." To me, that difference is enough to keep me from carrying in PA with a NH permit. To be clear, that is not PA's website. That is a website of a non-profit organization that has interpreted the various reciprocity agreements. My interpretation differs.
  9. Sent you a PM rather than post it here, though I'm sure the PA AG is aware. I'd be interested to hear what you think. If you think it's worth discussing openly, we can do that.
  10. Honestly, after reading the NH reciprocity agreement again, I decided not to bother with NH. In my opinion, even if you received the permit, it would be a waste of money.
  11. magnawing, this week. I wish I had more notice, because I think it could have otherwise worked out. T Bill, thanks. I saw that. I think it's outdated, because they don't accept hard cards except under narrow circumstances for residents. Something like living in a county with less than 46,000 people and being a certain distance away from an electronic fingerprinting facility. I figured out that if you proceed on the IdentoGO website like you're adopting domestically through a private attorney, it doesn't cross-reference your name with an active application like it does for a lot of the other categories. It brings you right to the scheduling page. Unfortunately there are no openings within an hour and a half radius until days after I'll be gone. Of course, this assumes that IdentoGO doesn't prioritize fingerprinting for certain purposes and show different results for each.
  12. I spoke with IndentoGO again and asked to see if there are any available appointments when I'm in Houston. The representative asked why I wanted to do anything in Texas if I'm from New Jersey. She was completely unhelpful and insisted - unlike the representative this morning - that I had to pay the $140 to Texas DPS before she could look up availability. She refused to help even after I explained that the representative this morning was able to tell me that information. I have a feeling that she was from a NJ, NY, or CA call center.
  13. Does the fingerprinting have to take place in Texas or is it possible to go to any IdentoGO location? I'm going to be in Houston and think I can squeeze in an evening class but the nearest fingerprinting place is booked solid for days.
  14. I have personally seen one carry permit. The guy was in check cashing.
  15. I hand delivered an FPID address change application, application for 9 permits and completed exemption application to my local PD on December 31, 2012 and picked them up during the first full week of February. I can look and see when my exemption was approved by NJSP (IIRC, it was a week or two before the dates on my pistol permits), but that won't tell me when they received it from my local PD.
