    Yup, as I recall... I came up with highly similar results. It was eye-opening for me personally. 

    To take it a step further though, I personally believe the influence of crime in those troubled cities is even far greater than the statistics reveal... because the (usually gang-related) violence spreads like ripples in a pond to surrounding communities and drives THEIR crime stats up as well. Did you ever look at the published police blotters of Montclair or Glen Ridge, for instance? Most of the people caught committing crimes in those towns hail from Newark and some of the other nearby high-crime cities you mentioned. I mean, was it a surprise to anyone with a brain that the crew that murdered that young guy at the Short Hills Mall several years back hailed from Newark? I've always thought someone should do a study on the origin of where perpetrators come from as well as where they commit the crime. For a lot of obvious reasons - many of them socioeconomic - residents of Montclair and Glen Ridge aren't going into Newark and committing crimes there, and yet the reverse is "the norm". I think it would be a revealing exercise....

    In fact, funny enough... over the years, I would scan the police blotter covering Easton, PA (a city not far from me) - and it was astounding how many people arrested for violent crimes and drug crimes in Easton were residents of Newark... Paterson...Irvington, etc. Much of that is due to organized gang activity would be my guess. So, my hunch is that if you followed those "concentric circles" within NJ, whereby crime spreads out from the high-crime areas to nearby low-crime areas, you'd probably find that the the residents of those 5 cities you mentioned, Rob, are probably in reality generating far more than 62 percent of NJ's murders by firearm.

    After all, we know from decades of modern criminology study that it's really very few people who commit the worst crimes... but they tend to commit them repeatedly and, naturally, they bring the havoc with them anywhere they visit.

    Yes a study of origin not just where the crime occurred is important.  Think of the crime at short hills mall for example.  The famous car jacking was Irvington residents.

    outside of gang related activities I think some of it desperation as well.  
     

    Finally I’d like to get before Murphy’s gun law package and post gun crime stats.  We all know nothing has changed thus the uselessness of burdening non-criminals with ridiculous restrictions.

    @Mrs. Peel I built a spreadsheet a few years ago that looked at the shootings in the NJ cities vs % population.  It’s stunning.  The 5 towns (Newark, Paterson, Trenton, Jersey City, Camden) comprise 9.5% of the population but are responsible for 67.12% of shooting incidents, 62% of shooting murders and 69.58% shooting victims. 
     

    This is probably 4 or 5 years old but I’d guess it hasn’t improved.

    this pocket sticky is great with jeans and pants   I use it a lot   The belly band I’ll sometimes use a G19 or if I’m feeling nostalgic 1911 cocked and locked carry

    please keep us updated. I just recently did a change of address (August 15) and the last email I got was "criminal history check completed". I'm hoping it doesn't take 5 months just for a change of address. I saw a post on reddit that said they don't issue cards anymore for a change of address, you just get a letter. 

    Hopefully ill find out soon.

    That means it should be ready.  Have you called your PD?

    Yes they cannot find it.  That's why the one guy said give me a few days or I'll just make you one.  It seems silly change of address or replacement takes the same path as initial.  Actually the entire thing is just stupid.

    Just status update, right?  Not Application Approved?

    So April 4th -> August 2nd just for the State side?!

    Sounds like it's with the township now.  Mine said 6-8 weeks from the point that they get it... Not sure how bad Rumson is.

    This what the email said, perhaps I'm confused:

     

    Your application for a New Jersey Firearm Purchaser Identification Card and/or Permit to Purchase a Handgun(s) has been approved by the issuing authority. The physical card/permit must be obtained at your issuing police department (as indicated on your application).

    Please be aware that to obtain this card/permit you must bring proof of identity (Picture ID with Name and Date of Birth) to the issuing police department.

    Did you get your background check part finished from the state?  Any emails regarding that?  You confirmed your references submitted and it confirmed via FARS right?

    Any range that requires a FID is most likely for liability purposes for insurance.  Is it a public range or private?

    There have been lawsuits, but it's come back with "the 30 day law is really just a suggestion and doesn't actually have to be followed". 

    The actual legal case was Adler v Livak - back in 1998.

    https://njgunpermitattorney.com/2009/04/23/when-is-30-days-not-30-days 

    I have an email from the state telling me that they finished on August 2nd.

    Four to five months is about the time it takes for any approved paperwork to get back to me.....and I deal with a state police barracks.  The Rumson Police Department is the agency you have to deal with on this issue.   ("If your question pertains to an application submitted to a municipal Police Department, please contact them for information and assistance.  Your municipal Police Department is the only agency that can update, modify or approve your application.")  https://www.njsp.org/firearms/index.shtml.  Next, I would try speaking to the mayor if you think he (or she) might be sympathetic to your cause.  If that doesn't work, try your congressional representative.

    I firmly think they'll get it done.  I spoke to the patrolman in charge and he said call him tomorrow and if he doesn't have it he'll make one.  He sees it's approved.  They're actually good guys and don't want to go after them.  

    I've had a reasonably good run in this life and have committed what I feel good about to St Judes Children's hospital for the rest of my life and into death.  Now I wanna use some of it to liberate my people here.

    I know as part of the 2018 package of, ridiculous, gun laws the reporting of gun crimes was a part of the "pledge" from Governor Interloper.  I reviewed the PPTs posted to the NJ SP website but they data isn't useful for anything other than counting.  There is no details whatsoever to do any analysis on the information.  I will start searching but will also ask here if there is a better source of gun crime in NJ that provides details?

    I decided to do an address change on my FPID since I am going to splitting time here.  The only reason I'm doing so is that I can go to a shooting range.  I find it odd that something that has the word purchaser in it is required to go shooting these days.  I really feel it's an impediment to getting people to try the shooting sport put in place by the very people, us, that want more people involved.  I guess I'll chalk it up to "their range, their rules" however dumb I find it to be.  Nonetheless I applied through the NJ Portal for an address change on April 4th, 2020.  It's been now 5 months and still no FPID.  It's just ridiculous and I have to say the Rumson PD has been very pleasant to deal with even though I'm not getting what I want.  I thought this process was supposed to be capped at 30 days?  I also find it ridiculous that when applying you can choose:  Initial, Change of Address, Replacement but it doesn't matter it's all the same stupid process other than the finger printing requirement.  Honestly for a change or replacement you should just go down and have them type you up a new one but good 'ol NJ.  

    I may speak to the mayor but how have other folks gotten around this?  I hate to get litigious but I'm at the point where, while I'm only here part time, I'm gonna start using some of my hard earned cash, well libs don't think I earned it,  to throw behind pretty much any reasonable NJ 2a related lawsuit.   

    I'm also going to have a couple data scientists that work for me do a study on crime rates pre and post mag capacity reduction to scientifically flush out what we already no--it didn't do anything.
