Congrats.

Yes I agree that the article makes it seem like only the military or law enforcement officers can be sheepdogs and I think it is because it was written that way with that audience in mind. However, I don't think it does not only apply to them. We all can be sheepdogs for our own small flock of sheep, our family and our friends. The rebuttal does make valid points but leaves no room for in between. He says he has no interest in the flock of sheep. Makes it seem like he does not have loved ones to protect. Maybe they're all mutts like him? Perhaps, but would you throw your children under that category too? Things rarely fit so nicely when you try and categorize everything. There are always exceptions. Just a part of life. Oh and in reality, sheep do LOOK kind and gentle, but they do attack. Much like many animals, deer and etc.

what if you close up for the night and lose power? i hope you have a generator large enough to handle everything

myth confirmed.

there was an article i read once that describes the world into 3 categories. Sheep, Wolves, Sheepdogs. For the full article go here After reading the article I am prepared to put myself in the sheepdog position for my family and friends, while they can live their lives as sheep. However, NJ won't give me my fangs outside the home.

hmm... interesting oh and yeah. i love mythbusters too.

very nice. i've heard a lot of good things about that gun. i'm considering getting that one also. now someone correct me if i'm wrong but i don't think cross dominance matters as much when it comes to handguns compared to shotguns or rifles. so with that being said shoot whichever you are most comfortable. but practice with both. you never know if you would need it or not and if you do go into a little competition shooting i understand they do weak hand shooting as well.

i'll let my imagination run wild for a bit. yeah we could survive an earthquake but what about the buildings. namely the nuclear power plants. especially on the east coast where an earthquake would be the least likely to happen. would the structural integrity hold or will we end up like japan. and if that happens and it does fail exposing the core and violent winds come in and blow that to who knows where... yeah.. i'll let everyone's imagination take over from there... but i'll give you a hint.. radiation. mutations. zombies? not really but who knows.

wow you guys write a lot. i had to just skim through the post cause it was getting a little too long for me. i'm sorry if i repeat anything that was already said and if i do then this is me supporting it. as to the article i think both sides could have been A LOT smarter about the whole situation. the officer should never have his firearm out and already pointed at the guy. he should of just exercised caution like having his hand on his firearm in case it needs to be quickly drawn and giving orders to the guy to slowly take out his id and permit and show it to him. also, i think the officers should already know that it was legal to carry in philly, open or concealed. i'm not sure how you can enforce the law if you don't know the laws. now i understand that it is impossible to know every single law however things like this should be known. oh and to the people making the point where they dont have to obey an officer's demands when they're doing something COMPLETELY legal. yes i guess you have a point. but in this situation the officer didn't know if the man was legally carrying. you can only carry if you have a permit. if an officer demands to see your permit you better answer and show him your permit. as to the rest of this stuff in this thread... NOTE: i do support the fight for our right to carry concealed. however, i'm a little hesistant for it to be extended to open carry anywhere. i believe open carry actually works as a disadvantage when it comes to self defense. if a criminal who is about to rob some store and sees you're carrying a gun, i'm pretty sure he would target you first. the element of surprise is key. "As for your comment about living near a liquor store where a robbery occurred.. What would have changed should you have had a gun?? What would have changed if the cashier had a gun on his hip?? Probably nothing.. Because by the time the cashier realized what was going on he would have been shot.." you should look at the news reports of the crimes being stopped by armed citizens. youtube the armed citizen. granted things might not always work out that way BUT i would rather be given a chance to defend myself rather than just sit there and hope that this criminal who is robbing me at gun point not shoot me even after i cooperated with all of his demands. the whole worry about 18 year olds with handguns. majority of the states require that the person be 21. places like vermont and alaska i think are only the few places that allow 18 yr olds to carry. carrying restricted in certain places i can understand to an extent. mental institutions, prisons, etc. ok i understand. but schools??? definitely not. why shouldn't people be allow to carry concealed? and to answer the question that went out. i know both utah and texas allow students who have a CCW permit to carry on campus as well. state funded though. i think private universities have an option. there were students at VTech shooting who have their CCW permit but since they can't carry on campus they could not do a thing while their fellow students were being massacred. are you testing him or you really just don't know and asking questions open to everyone?

Well to quote from NJAC Title 13 Chapter 54

a big revolver? maybe the S&W 500? Edit: they do have others with shorter barrels. shortest being 4"

it really shouldn't take that long. the shortest time i saw someone receiving their PP is 2 days. and he said that he had the same result twice. so assuming that where he lives is doing everything correctly and legally it really should not take anywhere near 6-8 weeks. but we all know that is never the case.

Welcome. Waiting sucks.

this might help. there is an option for inheritance. http://www.state.nj.us/njsp/info/pdf/firearms/101910-sp-015.pdf

I didn't see a topic on this but has anyone ever successfully obtain one. I'm looking more towards the 2nd exemption choice: http://www.state.nj.us/njsp/info/pdf/firearms/101910-sp-015.pdf Just wondering if this was possible to obtain or is it one of those "justifiable needs" like for the CCW permit

Greetings from Union. I recently submitted my application for the FID card and I hope everything goes smoothly and I get it soon. Great site. Very informative.
