OK. Start the timer for the first armed robbery at a decaled business. And the perpetrator of course will not have a permit to carry. Nor can they probably read. Does this mean we can sue a business that posts that decal if we're harmed in their store during an armed robbery? /SarcOff/ I already know the answer.

Spellcheck.

OK, you're right. To be frank, I've been in NJ my entire life and I'm so tired of navigating the minefield sometimes I just give up. To the best of my recollection there's never been an issue with the one-gun-a-month 30 day arithmetic. And I don't recall if there's ever been a lawsuit specifically about the fact of restricting handgun purchases to one per 30 days. I'll let others chime in on that. The requirement to issue a permit-to-purchase within 30 days is what I referred to, not your topic. Having said that, IMO any lawsuit to remove the one-gun-a-month restriction will/would have to go past the NJ Supreme Court to have any chance of success. If the $50 handgun purchase permit fee becomes law, that I think would be even more onerous.

OK, sounds like you are well aware of what you're getting into. So good luck with your search, and your career.

Yes, it was way back after the statute was passed and many PDs were ignoring the 30 day mandate. Nothing post-Bruen, and there won't be. No one's going to waste their time and money. The current NJ Supreme Court isn't going to overturn itself for our benefit. You know, 'it's for the children' etc.

Fly your own plane. Seriously. It's my understanding a lot of pilots that live up in Sussex County NJ do/did just that. I'm not being sarcastic. @Mr.Stu is right. You move somewhere you think will be within a 90 minute drive, and indeed may be on some days. Then on other days nature, construction, protesters, flight delays etc. intervene and it turns into three hours without breaking a sweat. I realize just 'flying your own plane' is a high bar. But it appears so is your career choice coupled with location. Good luck whatever you decide.

There was already a challenge to the one-gun-a-month rule years ago, and the NJ Supreme Court already ruled it's good to go. This is New Jersey, where the 'law' means what they want it to mean. Public interest, safety, and all the rest. The thirty day clock will start when they feel like it. So shut up and wait. We don't need no stinkin' statutes. Somewhere on this site this is discussed if you want case specifics.

Don't worry. Our AG is putting in his two cents. (Not ours!) AG Platkin, AG Jennings, AG Henry defend commonsense gun safety laws in federal court - WRNJ Radio And take note it's 'common sense'.

She has indicated she wouldn't sign this. Believe her? And what about Phil? N.J. Dems are fast-tracking changes to public records laws. A lot of people are alarmed. - nj.com NJ OPRA: State Senate moves bill that would gut transparency (njherald.com) "Keep 'em in the dark." NJ Open Public Records Act under assault by Trenton lawmakers (njherald.com) The bill would allow state and local officials to sue any resident if they decide a records request is intended to “harass a public agency.” Worse, officials could simply refuse to share records they think might result in “harassment” — an open invitation to hide embarrassing records when officials view public criticism as harassment.

Meanwhile, the Machine will keep doing its best. NJ Democrats work at all costs to preserve power (njherald.com)

Of course. I was referring to the votes necessary to keep the Marxist Democrats in power. Not the economy. The upper echelons in this country no longer depend on 'the economy'.

They are, and will be, admitting way more illegal aliens to make up for those of us migrating. The U.S. invasion total so far eclipses the populations of 40 of our individual states.

I knew about the Romeo red dot series, but hadn't really looked into them. After this post I read up the detail on the 5 version. The one I ordered arrived promptly yesterday, and I've had a chance to handle it. Did a quick mount to check it out, and it looks very good. I'll have to put it to work now that the weather's breaking. Thanks again @High Exposure for the lead on that bargain.

While it's true granting resident LTCFs in PA is almost universal, legally it is still at the sheriff's discretion, and procedures vary from county to county. My wife and I applied for our resident permits, and received them by mail exactly two weeks later.

It doesn't provide any comfort, but we're not the only state with permit acquisition problems. Sheriff Abruptly Changes Policy That Led to Months-Long Delays for Carry Permits – Bearing Arms Also, across the river in PA, as some of you have noted, there are wide discrepancies in sheriffs' procedures providing out-of-state LTCFs.

I thought I was careful to say 'many', and not 'all'. I accept your assessment since you are more tightly coupled into LE than I am, and I agree with most of it in reference to New Jersey specifically. Nevertheless, over the years I have personally heard NJ LE officers dispense opinions on firearm statues and their implementation that ranged from nonsense to vaguely disguised intentional misinterpretation. In some cases it was obvious they never even read the statute. In others it was clear they intended to ignore them. Perhaps I should add none of those 'conversations' were on this forum. I should add that behavior carries up into the LE hierarchy and is by no means confined to LE 'on the beat'. You need go no further than our current DOJ and FBI to clearly see that 'law enforcement' and interpretation of statutes comes in different flavors. Depending on circumstances.

Unfortunately, this represents the LE mindset of a lot of NJ officers. Not only are they ignorant of the law, they assume they can make it up as they go.

From the article... "...which means a person who wants to buy a handgun and eventually ammunition will be paying $195.00 in fees just on permitting."

No one can realistically file a lawsuit against these fees until they actually become law. Right now they're only Bucky's wish list.

Boom! Got one. Thanks HE.

IMO that's exactly backwards. The 2nd Amendment to the Constitution contains the only reference to 'arms', and it states that our right to acquire and bear the best means of self-protection (arms) 'shall not be infringed' . Further, all other powers other than those explicitly enumerated in the Constitution and its Amendments, are relegated to the states. The method the states used to invent the power to 'regulate' (read 'restrict') 'arms' was through the Interstate Commerce clause. And of course liberal leaning courts went along with that. "Since arms cross state lines in commerce, we can 'regulate' them." In a complete bastardization of 'Constitutional Rights', the state of New Jersey moves all the way from 'regulating interstate commerce' to charging (read: taxing) you to exercise your natural right to self-defense enumerated in the 2nd Amendment. See what they did there?

I assume that was a police dash cam, so they must have the plate number. "911. What is your emergency?" "My 2019 Corvette was stolen a few hours ago. Can you help me find it?"

This morning NJ.com says: Gun permit costs would double in N.J. under Murphy’s budget plan However they provided no specifics. You know, like $50 for a P2P, or $400 for CCW.
