@Vitalian2184 Not really, so long as you place your range bag (do you have one of those that holds a handful of pistols in "pistol rugs"?) with UNLOADED hand guns--and loaded mags in a separate compartment--as far away from the driver as possible. Then use a blanket as has been mentioned by the other learned folks here. After a while you'll get the gist of whom to ask and listen to. I'm one of THOSE, lol. I have a half-century of firearms experience. My first hand gun purchase was a "Straw Purchase" from my father. He bought the gun new at the FFL and I bought it from him a minute later. In 1977 when I was 18 and 18 year olds could buy hand guns from anyone who wasn't a FFL, and do so right across a kitchen table! Then the FFL stapled the two forms together and mailed them to NJSP (proving a "straw purchase") in the same envelope, lol! I've been a witness to too many unconstitutional laws and rules being forced upon the NJ gun owner. It's why I helped form the Coalition of New Jersey Firearm Owners years ago. As a founding Trustee and Vice President, I'm quite active. Writing, shooting, mentoring, and running fundraisers like sporting clays, Hog Hunts and Pheasant Hunts. Teaching kids and women to shoot safely. And a multitude of other things. Check us out here: https://www.cnjfo.com and on Facebook at: https://www.facebook.com/cnjfo Photo from CNJFO Sporting Clays Tournament at Lehigh Valley Sporting Clays on August 29th. @Ms. 12 Gauge is a CNJFO "Lifer". She won the award for "High Lady". My medallion is for being a part of the highest scoring foursome. Let her chime in and say why she supports us!

Withdrawal of a firearms application after trouble arises in the investigation COULD be interpreted as a denial...and so filing another application in a different town and checking off you've never been "denied" a permit COULD be interpreted as a false filing, which is an OFFENSE all by itself. I'd consult a firearms attorney on how to proceed. As a member of ANJRPC I can do so for FREE, and it costs me $40 per year to have a legal opinion from a firearms attorney. I think Frank Pisano is on ANJRPC's list? Oh, and I get a quarterly magazine sent to the house with a bunch of nifty info. Private Club's from all over the state of NJ contact info, places to shoot, leagues to get involved in, swap meets, etc. The Coalition of New Jersey Firearm Owners has an ad in every edition. For more NJ 2nd Amendment news go to: https://www.cnjfo.com . And JOIN the Coalition if you want to support your rights! Rosey

Wishing you & the pooch the absolute best outcome. Glad to be of service. My DIL used to work there, and (with her Master's in Biomedical Engineering) has since moved-on to human orthotic studies. One more thing. The dogs train themselves to accept the brace. They sit still while you put it on and adjust it, and they know they can play with it on. It's usually harder to get it off than put it on. And the dogs enjoy their braces and the freedom that comes with them. I'm seeing more customers now than ever. And everyone I stop to chat with LOVES what the brace has done for their family member! The brace totally takes care of the dog's natural inclination to throw more weight on the "good leg", thereby causing other problems down the road. I've seen videos of a dog that limps get a brace put on for the first time (at the Morgantown facility) and 5 minutes later the same animal is running down the hallway at My Pet's Brace! It's like throwin' a light switch! All the best! Rosey

BUMP! WYATT EARP WON'T BE THERE BUT YOU CAN BE IF YA REGISTER! https://www.cnjfo.com/event-4409035

@Sniper You might want to consider a company called "My Pet's Brace" in Morgantown, PA. https://www.mypetsbrace.com Here's a video of the treatment plan & results 4 years later. Good luck with your dog! FWIW we go to Peddler's Village in Lahaska, PA quite often. One Sunday we saw 3 My Pet's Brace customers in a 3 hour time span. Rosey

Very entertaining sir! Well-Done! Still laughin' my balls off over here! ~R

Enjoyed watching the YouTube videos of the men's & women's skeet. Thanks for posting! ~R

YOU JUST WON THE INTERWEBS FOR TONIGHT, LOL! WINNER-WINNER CHICKEN DINNER! ~R

I took a female friend pheasant hunting. Let her use that same Beretta Youth Model my DIL loves. She's 4' 11" and had ZERO problems. You did crack me up a little with "Circus Sideshow", lol! I'm only 5' 6" and I have to watch LOP myself, especially for an all-season scattergun. All those extra layers for a February pheasant hunt or a cool April morning Sporting Clays can extend the LOP even further, often past the point of comfort. Add a "sticky" neoprene butt pad and it spells trouble with bad mounts on the shoulder. If she's not comfortable, she won't want to shoot too many shells. Make mama happy so everybody is happy Go to a FFL that has some used inventory. A gun that fits her and has a small scratch on it is much better than the new pretty one that doesn't FIT Take care! ~R

@Shocker @Ms. 12 Gauge has the personal experience to back up what she types! "Naturally cost will always be a concern but I’d be curious what other folks have done with their diminutive shooter companions." Begs the question just how "small" is she? With shotgun "fit" having a LOT to do with "LOP" (Length of Pull--the distance from the butt to the trigger guard), folks with shorter arms often find a Youth Model easier to swing since they can reach the fore end w/o stretching. Add gas operation or inertia-dampening recoil systems, and a light 12 gauge with "lighter" factory loadings (1145 fps) ---like Remington Gun Club and the like--- will recoil less. I used to shoot Trap with a 12 year old using his 12 ga. Youth Model gas operated semi. In less than a year he could easily break 20+ birds per round. You get your wife a gun that fits HER and some instruction, and she'll be kickin' yer butt in no time Searching for lower recoiling trap & skeet loads requires a small "education": Knowing how to read Dram Equivalent's for one. Scattergunnin' loads are still referred to in BLACK POWDER "Dram Equivalent" and the lower the number, the slower the pellets move out the barrel. 2 3/4 Dram Equivalent is common in low-brass 12 ga. target loads, and 2 1/2 Dram Equivalent is common in 20 ga. low-brass target loads. The faster loadings are "Field Loads" designed for hunting, and are often 1250 - 1400 fps and have higher Dram Equivalents. A Dram is a unit of measure that was used back in the day of black powder shells and Damascus Twist barrels. Hunting loads for pheasant (as an example) can come in both 2 3/4" and 3" magnum shells. They're all "High Brass", which means the end of the shell where the headstamp is has extended brass to absorb the higher pressure (higher Dram) loading. These will recoil MORE, and are sometimes packaged as "Handicapped" loads in 7 1/2 and 8 shot sizes. So be careful not to buy those, as they're intended to shoot Trap from the 25 yard line (9 yards further back from the Trap House than the standard 16 yard line). NUMBER OF PELLETS: In the "race" to gain an edge, target loads with 1 1/8th oz. of birdshot hit the scene decades ago. They have more pellets than the 1 oz. loadings, and will recoil S L I G H T L Y harder than the 1 oz. loads as the lighter loads need a little less powder to get their shot column out the tube at the same speed (1145 fps light target loading for instance). It's simple physics. Every action has an EQUAL & OPPOSITE reaction. The reaction is felt recoil, which is mitigated by weight of gun, gun action, proper fit on the shoulder, etc. I have female friends that can outshoot me. They find it easy to break 100 straight clays. Their guns FIT them My Daughter in-law Amy hadn't shot clays in about 2-3 years. Father's Day I took the family shooting at Old Bridge R&P. She picked-up the gun she was taught on---my Beretta Youth Model 20 ga. gas gun---and after the first two birds she broke every bird thrown for her---like a dozen in a row! Then she let her husband (my son) take his turn & miss a few! That is until he compensated for poor "gun fit". Hope I've been some help! Rosey

I wrote about this subject for Black Wire Media, CNJFO's media arm. There are several states that allow 18-20 year olds to OPEN CARRY even though they can't buy a hand gun. A relative buys it for them and they go STRAPPED, even into shopping malls.

How high they need to be is directly dependent upon not only the rounds it needs to stop and where you post your targets (height of posted target), but also the shooting position of engagement (prone, sitting/kneeling, offhand) and DISTANCE from the target stand to the Shooter AND the distance from the target stand to the Berm. Best thing to do would be to have me guest you into Old Bridge to show you what "Cone of Fire" is all about and what our berms look like and why. Controlling "Cone of Fire" is easy once you grasp the concept. It's one of the many things I've learned as a Chief Range Safety Officer. A hands-on lesson in what to do and what not to do would lead you down a path of enlightenment Besides, I can guest non-members into the range now that the CovidCaper is over, and my little Weber grill can make us some cheeseburgers... First pic is USPSA Grand Master Emily Cutts, age 16, at her own private range in a friend's cranberry bog. Pic #2 is my son & I at OBR&PC's 100 yard range. Pic #3 is marinated pork chops on the Little Weber charcoal grill. I've replaced the grill grate since this pic was taken, lol. Thing gets a lot of use Sent you a PM answer too! Rosey

@MartyZ Hit me up when it's good for you. ~R

What constitutes a legal range is in the books right next to what constitutes a residence for firearms ownership & storage. Don't bother lookin' for it, you'll get a headache cause it's NOT there, lol! Well done @GRIZ

Does he live somewhere on those 50 acres? Did he build a berm or designate a patch of land as his range? Don't be scared of your own shadow. You wanna chat on the phone to go over this, just hit me with a PM with your phone number & best time to call. There are ways to do this... Rosey

#4 needs a slight "fix": Issue big government contracts to your cronies and have them make it look like what they're doing is partially solving the problem, so the next state budget has MORE MONEY thrown at the "problem". So you (the politician) get even more of a kickback After-all, they don't call it "Dirty Jersey" for nuthin', lol! ~R

Unless Superman (the Man of Steel) shows up and opens the safe for them, you did what any reasonable gun owner would do: 1. Hide the hardware, and used a cable lock on that really EVIL AR-15! 2. Put the ammo separate So I wouldn't worry too much. Added security via a hidden "Nanny-Cam" near the stockpile (cache of EVIL weapons) couldn't hurt Just BREATHE Dude, and don't stress yerself out any more than you already are with the sale itself! ~R

IANAL Is the Tahoe driver a Prohibited Person? If no, then put all the flats closest to the lift gate & out of the driver's reach in SEALED flats. Sealed flats (cases) might as well be in a "locked container" as far as my arthritic hands are concerned, lol. Out of state competitors bring CASES of ammo with them everywhere they travel. Under a blanket. At the liftgate of a SUV. NO ONE that I know of in 50 years behind the trigger has gotten jacked-up for drivin' SEALED factory-fresh ammo across state lines. Anyone doing me a favor bringing me 10 cases of scattergun shells gets a prime rib dinner for their troubles! ~R

I'm with @Golf battery. I have all my shooting awards, pix of my kid winning filet mignon at an Over-The-Log black powder match, plaques for Distinguished Expert, NRA Life Member framed certificate, even a framed US Constitution & hand signed letter from the NRA-ILA when Ollie North bestowed upon me the NRA-ILA Volunteer of the Year. It's no secret that some things go bang over here. Strapped and lovin' it

@robby welcome to the forum and to the world of gun ownership in NJ! Beware of Keyboard Commandos and Trolls. If you need help, just reach out and I'll try to help you. In the meantime, some tongue-in-cheek "Rules" Rule #1: Don't actually READ the laws themselves. They're somewhat contradictory & utterly confusing. Read the EXCEPTIONS & EXEMPTIONS instead, as they are your friends Rule #2: Learn what punctuation means, especially commas. " , OR locked in the trunk of an automobile" translates into this: 200 naked hand guns, no trigger locks, cases or pistol rugs. Unloaded. Scratchin' the crap outta each other as you hit every pothole in the road. Completely legal. Pop open trunk at an EXEMPT location, take out a naked hand gun and wrap it with brown craft paper & bakery string, tied "securely". Walk it into the gun store, 'smith, range, your house, etc., your business that you own. Lather, rinse, repeat with the other 199>>>>completely LEGAL! Rule #3: Don't confuse FOPA (interstate transport across state lines) with transport within NJ (inTRAstate). Yes, while going to a NJ range or other EXEMPT location FROM a NJ EXEMPT location you can candy-ass it and lock everything up separately, OR do it like a competitive action shooter and just throw guns & ammo in the same bag but in separate compartments. Rule #4: Don't look for permission to breathe AIR or transport guns. It doesn't exist. Laws aren't designed to tell you what you CAN do, they're written to inform you what you CAN'T do. So you already have discovered^^^ above. I've got 50 years behind the trigger, my first hand gun was a "straw purchase" in 1977, prior to the term being invented. It was LEGAL for a parent to buy a hand gun for their offspring and then immediately "sell" it to them at the same gun counter they themselves just bought it at..... So I've done it all & seen it all. I fight unconstitutional gun law every damn day for all of us. Enjoy your firearms and join as many Jersey based 2A organizations as you can afford. We're carrying your water. If you get a chance, check out The DC Project and the Coalition of New Jersey Firearm Owners. We work to make things better for all gun owners. We hosted a fundraiser and Top Shot Gabby Franco and Dick Heller (the famous DC v. Heller SCOTUS case) gave speeches. https://www.dcproject.info https://www.cnjfo.com

@GRIZ THIS!! 9 DAYS A WEEK! @Steve from NJ/FL What if you had 3 residences or 12 throughout the country as a billionaire? You maintain a residence in NJ? Use your NJ address to buy guns & pistol ammo in NJ. PERIOD! FWIW there is NO definition of "residence" in the written statutes of NJ gun law. Is your DNA there in a hamper or on your toothbrush? It's your residence! FWIW there is NO definition of how long of a STAY is required to consider your NJ dwelling a "residence". Hours, days, weeks OR months. Do not conflate income tax reporting requirements with gun law. Totally different animal! Does the millionaire living in his/her $400K RV with a dozen firearms in a Jersey trailer park 3 months out of the year have a right to buy pistol ammo? His trailer park address is his residence... You think you're the only person in NJ that's a gun owner and has multiple residences? What you need is an educated & articulate FFL in NJ that isn't a candy-ass, and I can personally recommend several who are friends of mine Want to learn more about your gun rights? Go to: https://www.cnjfo.com Dave "Rosey" Rosenthal, VP Coalition of New Jersey Firearm Owners, Inc.

I no longer buy any firearms or ammo mail-order. I have spent my entire adult life building relationships with friends and FFL's throughout NJ. I won't do bidness with Bud's as I consider them thieves for stealing mags and not sending them to NJ FFL's to block. I have both experience AND principles, and I can put out a few "feelers" and get virtually anything I want. Out of state suppliers run scared shipping to NJ due to money woes over frivolous lawsuits. Goober the Ghost Gun Chaser (the NJ Attorney General) has run amuck more than once. I have friends that are FFL's just over the Pennsy border. They can get ANYTHING and then Jersey modify it for me AND do the delivery over the counter via a 4473 for long guns or mail a hand gun to a NJ FFL. Easy-Peasy. Cause COMMERCE FINDS A WAY...........
