Let's put this MYTH to rest, FOREVER & RIGHT NOW! You may or may not be aware, so for those that AREN'T here goes: I transport weapons registered to a man that's been DEAD since 1982! Upon my father's passing, my mother laid his entire modest collection out on display on the dinning room table for her three offspring to divvy-up. NO PAPERWORK! Cause that's how it was done back then! Am I supposed to go dig them both up (Mom died in '95) and ask them where's the P2P's? I've been "behind the trigger" for nearly half a century. The totality of what I've done and what I know could make a good book. And OPEN LOTS OF EYES to the self-inflicted harassments we continually endure from those that THINK they "know" things...the big one being applying FOPA interstate transport regulations to intrA-state (within NJ) transportation. The fact is the current law doesn't even say that your Yellow Card has to be IN YOUR POSSESSION, it merely states you have to be granted one to be in compliance of the exception / exemption you're transporting under.... ~R

@Krdshrk The above would make for a great article on our CNJFO page IF some background explanation was given so that readers w/o braces could wrap their heads around the issue. Feel like writing something about this since you're more qualified than I am? ---Rosey

To those that came, a hearty thank-you! INACKER MAKES HISTORY AS DC PROJECT HOLDS 1ST NJ EVENT! THE DC PROJECT COCKTAIL FIRST OF ITS KIND IN THE NATION! by Black Wire Media Tues. May 18, 2021 www.cnjfo.com/join-us CNJFO Communications Director and DC Project New Jersey Delegate Theresa Inacker had her hands full these past few months planning and executing a moment of historical significance. What she and her committee accomplished--a statewide cocktail/fundraiser for The DC Project--hadn't ever been done before anywhere in the country! The Coalition of New Jersey Firearm Owners is proud to support The DC Project and welcomed this second opportunity to help our Second Amendment sisters raise needed funds to fight anti-gun propaganda through their "Education, Not Legislation" campaign. CNJFO was the first statewide 2nd Amendment organization to purchase DCP's #Tealfor2A tees emblazoned with their "Education, Not Legislation" message for every member of Inacker's 20+ cadre of volunteers that have and will continue to pound on doors both in DC and our state Capitol to get their message of "Gun rights are Women's RIGHTS" to our legislators. This esteemed group of women is a force to be reckoned with and the #Tealfor2A tees are a great way to counter the visual of the red-shirted Moms Demand and Everytown anti-gunners that seek full disarmament through incrementalism! “The DC Project New Jersey delegation is grateful for the overwhelming support of our fundraiser. The DC Project needs donations for travel expenses and training. The DC Project highlights the diversity and rising demographic of female gun owners through ongoing advocacy because gun rights are women’s rights.” ---Theresa Inacker, NJ Delegate For more info about The DC Project, please visit: www.dcproject.info To JOIN New Jersey's most active 2nd Amendment group, go to: www.cnjfo.com/join-us THE DC PROJECT'S HELLER COCKTAIL A HUGE SUCCESS! THOUSAND$ RAISED TO HELP EDUCATE NOT LEGISLATE! by Dave "Rosey" Rosenthal, Black Wire Media Editor in-Chief CNJFO proudly helped sponsor the first-ever-in-the-nation DC Project State Fundraiser, held last Saturday evening at a private residence in Moorestown, NJ. New Jersey's most active Second Amendment organization sent our Board of Trustees and committee people to volunteer wherever needed; CNJFO also helped pick-up the catering tab. The DC Project raised thousands of dollars to fight the anti-gun, screeching. red-shirted Karen's from Moms Demand and Everytown. Politicians need to hear from pro-2A patriots and we at CNJFO can't think of a better way than by turning Capitol Hill hearing rooms #Tealfor2A! The DC Project's "Educate, NOT Legislate" mission is one every gun owner should get behind! CNJFO Communications Director and DC Project's New Jersey Delegate Theresa Inacker chaired her first fundraiser, doing an outstanding job everyone in New Jersey can be proud of! Her good friend Dick Heller, the famous litigant in Heller v. DC, the 2008 Supreme Court case now being used in amicus briefs throughout the country, signed-on as a speaker! The cocktail party fundraiser was at the starting line, "on-the-mark" waiting for the starter pistol, the seed money for expenses. Inacker didn't have to ask---the rest of your Board of Trustees KNEW what needed done! “The DC Project New Jersey delegation is grateful for the overwhelming support of our fundraiser. The DC Project needs donations for travel expenses and training. The DC Project highlights the diversity and rising demographic of female gun owners through ongoing advocacy because gun rights are women’s rights.”---Theresa Inacker, NJ Delegate Several of Inacker's cadre of DC Project-NJ gals attended and/or donated to the fundraiser, and convinced their friends and husbands to attend. A paid attendance of 115, spread out around high-topped cocktail tables placed on pavers, adorned the barn area beautifully decorated in teal. Teal is The DC Project official color, and it gave this precedent-setting event a feeling of an outdoor wedding. Silent auction items included ammo, training, a rifle case with a Springfield Armory Saint as a gift (required a NJFPID card), a pocketbook, a hand-carved bowl by CNJFO Youth Chair Eric Saperstein, and various other sought-after items. Emceed by Inacker, with a PA system on loan to and installed by CNJFO President Dan Grdovic, the assemblage steadfastly listened to Heller, and The DC Project women: Top Shot Gabby Franco, Brooke Cheney, Lauren Hartnett, Kelly Pidgeon, Amanda Suffecool, and Holly Sullivan. CNJFO President Dan Grdovic, on behalf of all members, then presented Dick Heller with his CNJFO "Patriot Pin" in recognition of all his work for and what he means to the Second Amendment. Only 15 such recipients exist in the world today. Heller graciously accepted the surprise and thanked Grdovic and all our membership. When remarks concluded, everyone was invited to a bonfire with Heller and The DC Project gals. A truly amazing evening, with history being made everywhere you looked and sometimes while you weren't. Dick Heller came to NJ!, Gabby Franco got to "Ride Shotgun" with Charlie Cook, and The DC Project held their first State Fundraiser with Delegates from FIVE states attending! CNJFO set up a membership table with special Heller swag (more on that soon!), sponsored, promoted, advertised, emailed, loaned use of our software to collect ticket fees & donations, and provided the sound system. Elite Tactical Armory's Dave & Lisa Kotz showed up in their Humvee with 1,000 rounds of 5.56mm ammo. A special thanks to Cheryl Lynne, her mother and her husband John for being gracious hosts to The DC Project, CNJFO member Lee Ollivier and Trustee Matthew Andras for ground transportation of Mr. Heller. Ollivier picked-up Heller from his D.C. residence, transporting him to the event. Heller had never been to NJ's Washington Crossing State Park, the scene captured in the famous painting of General George Washington & his Colonial Army crossing the Delaware River on Christmas day. So Andras made it happen on the way to driving Heller back to D.C. (last pix in photo story). Matt asked for a selfie with Heller in front of the Supreme Court. More History made! CNJFO hereby thanks everyone for being there, and those that bought tickets in support of or donated to this great evening in any way!

BUMP! How are all you Lurkers doin'? 334 Views! LAST CALL FOR TICKETS! ---Rosey

A lot is in play right now. Perhaps going back to your friend so HE can look it up or guess which group he received the email from would solve the problem? One case has 5 groups working together to get rid of the scheme known as the famous Yellow Card. Other cases are filed, and NYSR&PA just got granted CERT. It's a full time job being a #2AHeavyLifter these days. ~R

Glad you're coming. This is a statewide 2nd Amendment extravaganza, so no "legislative districts" to be "had". Attendees are from all over NJ & surrounding areas. The DC Project Special Guests are from around the country... ~R

IN NO WAY IS THIS A WIN! The totality of what I know on this subject would take several paragraphs. Several friends that are fellow #2AHeavyLifters have reached out to me and we're bouncing ideas & what-if's off each other. Targeting out of state ammo sales... Targeting out of state long gun purchasing... Being able to turn-off your card electronically at-will of the Governor... ...and that's not even all of it. Only a fool would think this is a "win". Don't be a typical NJ gun owner and be satisfied as a Stockholm syndrome VICTIM! Let the big court case make it's way through the system and celebrate when we really WIN! Rosey

You, sir, might be correct! I miss you & Vlad. You guys always made me chuckle!

Someone that knows me really well, please tell me WTF I am & thanks! Too busy making & writing about history to take the test And when ya 'splain it to me, don't use abbreviations. ~R

A lot of what exactly? There's a 400% increase in Yellow Card applicants over the same time period last year. 13 years ago my 18 yr old Eagle Scout waited 6 months for his Yellow Card. You people have NO idea the way it USED to be! Try not to piss in too many people's corn flakes. You don't want every P2P to go to the bottom of the pile... That being said, a right delayed is a right denied. I've been fighting for 2A rights my entire adult life! ~R

@kc17 Kevin, You're more than welcome to stop-by! Best time to do so would be around 11:30-ish so you can have lunch with us, get "in" on the 50-50 and prize raffle and listen to the speakers. We'll have Charlie Cook from "Riding Shotgun With Charlie", myself, our President Dan Grdovic (former Mod here), and a speaker from The Organization of States-NJ. Lunch will be Giberson Farms hot dogs to supplement my Crock Pot Hog Hunt Pork Roast w/ potatoes, corn, celery, onions, carrots and soft drinks. Although we invited our sponsors, they all declined due to the usual "Saturday RUSH" at their businesses. So no "mini Trade Show", just a room full of patriots, some of whom are hunting for the first time Hope to see you tomorrow. Don't be shy! Rosey

OUTSTANDING! THANKS FOR SETTING SUCH A GREAT EXAMPLE FELLOW PATRIOT! Rosey

105 "looks" & not a single post or question? Not a single "thanks for raising funds to fight bad gun law with lawsuits!"? Where is all this 2A support I hear so much about, eh?

@EdF The first part of your answer is correct. The second part is completely FALSE. If the OP is named in the Will as the new owner, they're HIS, no paperwork needed. 'Cept maybe for a hand-written receipt from the Executrix of the Estate. OGAM goes away too, since there's NO paperwork If the OP @Gosnellus is NOT named in the Will as the new owner of the personal property, then the OP must file all the regular paperwork for purchasing both long guns (and pistols if so desired). Once the permits come thru, the OP can submit an OGAM exemption form, naming the firearms to be transferred. What people THINK doesn't matter....what the LAW SAYS matters. Rosey

@Smith I'll raise my hand....ME, that's who! FWIW do you enjoy throwing hand grenades and then disappearin' back into the woodwork? 3 rounds? What about multiple attackers doing a home invasion? 90 posts in 11 months. Troll much? ~R

As techno-science improves, forensic analysis improves with it. Spray of powder fragments will vary with the same ammo outta the same box. Take any major brand in (for example) 9mm caliber, put it in a 3" subcompact and you'll get a fireball. The fireball is the result of unburned & partially-burned powder lighting-up after the round leaves the short barrel. Powders burn at a known rate. It's physics. Put that same 9mm round into a rifle and more pressure builds up behind it at ignition as more powder is efficiently burned and not merely wasted as "gas flash". The bullet travels faster as the powder burns INSIDE the barrel instead of outside. Less powder residue hits the ambient air. This could be an unknown if "the murder weapon" was taken from the scene by the Perp (for instance). What gun are the cops looking for? Then the Lab has to compare twist rates, rifling, etc. IF they can find a slug that didn't destroy itself on impact. Wanna really screw-up forensics? Take a S&W JM 9mm revolver and see if the Prosecutor is looking for a semi-auto "hit man" that "policed his brass"...when all the guy did was leave the spent shells in the cylinder...LOL. Everything a Prosecutor is told MATTERS. Conclusions can be drawn from misinterpretation of data, errors in data collection, sloppiness at the scene, etc., etc. Some of those conclusions can jeopardize your freedom IF you let them... Remember the Prosecutor that asked the Crime Lab gun guy to reinsert the firing pin the right way into McCloskey's .380 PPK so they could attempt to charge her with brandishing at the crowd trying to "cocktail" her house? The PPK was incapable of discharging as it had been rendered inoperable so as to enable it to be used in a court case as evidence. Bottom line, If someone wants to screw with you, it can be done...

The dirtier the powder, the more dense the spray & smoke. Varying handloads in centerfire cartridges could lead to "unknowns" as far as distance vs. density, which is what Mass was referring to when he was quoted on the use of hand loads causing "problems" with forensics. A really clean burning powder a competitive action shooter uses could raise questions (Perp was twice the distance YOU said he was in a sworn statement, so why did you shoot him?). I merely illustrated his point by using a photo of nice, DIRTY black powder. Yes, the Lab will swab everything with Q-Tips looking for chemical reactions to reagents. And yes the Lab will go to "the known values" of ppm density at distance to determine actual distance, since these records are standardized by barrel length, ammo manufacturer, type, weight, construction, primer, etc., etc. Go "off the charts" with handloads and "science can be fooled"... ~R

Not for you, @GRIZ, you can enjoy the laugh, but for everyone else including @JackDaWack & @ leahcim : If you want to experiment with GSR, the easiest way to "trace" where it goes is to video yourself shooting the gun in question. Different powder types burn at different rates (speed). Different manufacturers use different powders, and some are more "clean-burning than others (reloaders know this)! Bullseye is a dirty, slow-burning center fire propellant, NOT an explosive, and yet fills an indoor range with almost as much smoke as my black powder revo's seen here! Easiest way I know of to demo GSR is to shoot a few cylinder's worth of the "Holy Black", then go home, throw yer clothes in a laundry basket and take a shower. Dry-off, then stick yer face a foot away from yer clothes and smell those glorious ROTTEN EGGS, lol! That smell is on everything you wore, RIGHT? That's the Poor Man's GSR Test, lol! Rosey

PUBLIC INVITED! JUST 5 SPOTS LEFT FOR AFTERNOON 1/2 DAY HUNT! CNJFO PHEASANT HUNT IS SATURDAY MARCH 6TH! GIBERSON FARMS, PEMBERTON TWP., NJ! REGISTER HERE: https://www.cnjfo.com/event-4120450 JUST 5 SPOTS LEFT FOR "HUNTING PHEASANTS WITH CHARLIE"! CNJFO's MARCH 6th PM FUNDRAISER OPEN TO THE PUBLIC! by Black Wire Media Mon. Feb. 13, 2021 www.cnjfo.com/join-us The SMILES tell the story! Pheasant hunting with CNJFO is FUN, educational and rewarding. We have just 5 spots left before a complete sell-out for our Saturday March 6th afternoon 1/2-day of Hunting Pheasants With Charlie! Check your calendars and register HERE: www.cnjfo.com/event-4120450 . Fighting tyranny isn't easy, and it costs money. Filing amicus briefs with the U.S. Supreme Court is an expensive and time consuming process, but there is light at the end of the tunnel! At the Coalition of New Jersey Firearm Owners, we choose to fight unconventionally by hosting shooting events such as pheasant hunts, where the PUBLIC is invited to participate and learn the ways of Second Amendment stewardship instead of relying on "the other guy" to do the "heavy lifting". CNJFO partners with the Giberson family to bring you a safe & FUN experience afield as a professional handler and his dog(s) find the pheasants. We split the harvest among all and you take your birds home to clean yourself, or for a small fee, the guides will breast the harvest for you and you go home with a ziplocked bag of breast meat and your game tags. This hunt on Saturday March 6th we're blessed with a special guest appearance by Charlie Cook, the creator of "Riding Shotgun With Charlie" of You Tube fame. He'll be afield with us and then tell us about his experience interviewing #2AHeavyLifters in "the shotgun position" of his car. Episode #49 had our VP, Dave "Rosey" Rosenthal, chatting about CNJFO, the NJ Mag Ban, youth shooting, our pheasant hunt fundraisers, and how he likes to use his black powder muzzleloader harvesting pheasants, seen HERE: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xD0atrosPBY Newbies and non-members are welcome to attend, and so are Apprentice Hunters, as we'll MENTOR those new to the sport. A hunting license is needed. Full details on our registration page! To get IN on the action, register HERE: www.cnjfo.com/event-4120450 THIS IS JUST 3 WEEKS FROM TODAY! HUNT DATE IS SATURDAY MARCH 6TH!

I'd recommend staying away from Gun Shows for now. You walk in one as a Newbie and will be told a million tales of what's best that just so happens to be at THAT person's table! Go to Shooters to see Dave, and give Melissa a call at Legacy Armory in Cinnaminson, NJ. They'll direct you to what you NEED, and allay fears. I know them both and they'll treat you right!

THIS IS OLD NEWS! PSA has had this policy for quite some time. Plenty of other places make AR-15 parts.

@Krdshrk tagged me to help you @sage613 Muzzleloading hand guns come as flintlock & percussion. Flints can be smoothbore or rifled. Percussion is generally always rifled. I own Cap & Ball revolvers that work with #10 percussion caps. I've hunted 300 pound hogs with my Uberti 1847 Colt Walker replica cap & ball w/ a .456 conical weighing 225 grains. Outdoor ranges are required to fire muzzleloaders since the HEPPA filters at indoor ranges get clogged FAST with black powder smoke. And they cost MONEY! Two private clubs offer outdoor ranges near Monmouth Co.: 1. Monmouth County Rifle & Pistol Club located at the corner of Monmouth Executive Airport 2. Old Bridge Rifle & Pistol Club located off Rt. 516 in Old Bridge I've been a member at Monmouth twice, and I've shot black powder matches at both clubs. Both clubs hold regular black powder league matches where mentoring can take place, and non-members can attend these league matches and be mentored. This of course has to be planned in advance, you don't just show up unannounced and expect folks to provide you free rides on their equipment at a moment's notice Where are you in Monmouth County? A third range, Central Jersey Rifle & Pistol Club, is located in the pines in Jackson, NJ. They have a $600 buy-in (initiation fee), but their dues are affordable. Monmouth Co. R&P usually has a waiting list. Old bridge does not, and their initiation fee is half of Central Jersey's. Hope I've been helpful! Here's a little smoke for ya, lol! PM me so we can go shooting & start your mentoring
