Or, more likely, NJ, under a probable Democratic governor, would become a "no issue" state. If you don't allow CC, then the reciprocity law would not apply. I imagine the other anti gun blue states would also follow suit.

Agreed. A total assault weapons ban and 10 round mag limit is almost certain under a democratic governor. And that's only to start.

I'm sorry to say, it will never happen.

All it takes is Hillary to win next year and bring along the House and Senate for this and much more to become reality.

Everyone here is crying about Christie, but has anyone though what will happen when a Dem gets elected in a few years. 10 round limit is certain, as is an assault weapons ban of any and all so called "assault rifles" with no grandfathering on either one. And that's just a start.

I agree, considering the bevy of guns bills that have been proposed in the last few years, once CC is out and a Dem is running the show, expect 10 round mag limits and a full "assault weapons" ban, both with no grandfathering. Also likely is a prohibition on internet sales of ammo, ammo limits and perhaps background checks for ammo as well. One thing that is sure, NJ will lead the nation in gun laws.

I didn't see any mention that retired police officers couldn't carry hollowpoints in contrary to federal LEOSA legislation. Maybe NJ has finally accepted that they can't restrict that for RPOs

As long as she has no prior criminal record, as per the AG directive, they may have no choice but to give her PTI.

Unless you are a famous celebrity or are juiced in with a state politician, you will never rise to the level of "justifiable need" in NJ.

Great news. Glad Christie did the right thing and gave this man his life back.

It's probably the most ubiquitous rifle cartridge in the US, due to the popularity of the AR platform, that's why it was picked first. If it is banned, expect them to go after other popular rifle ammo as well.

Buy backs are a good way to get a few bucks for old junk firearms. That's usually what is turned into these things. Old, rusty, half broken crap that people find in their attics.

NJ progress!

If the P2P was ever going to go away, it would have been during the last 3 years when applications for handguns were peak and PDs were neck deep in applications. The state did help PDs a bit though. They made P2Ps able to be printed on dot matrix printers. Now that's what I call NJ progress!!

Toms River only makes you do the criminal history check every 2 years.

Not really, most of the weapons turned in are rusty junk.

They are checked for use in any crime before destroying them.

This also happened in Ocean County. This county is not usually know for over zealous prosecutions. Other counties are quite a different matter.

If you're worried about using hollow points, then CD rounds are no different. The statute mentions "dum dum" rounds which are any round that designed to expand. There they are the same under the law.

I guess they don't want armed gunman going on a rampage wearing body armor that impervious to any of the weapons the police carry. Makes sense to me.

From what I read, it was only for level III and above. Soft body armor that cops wear is IIIA, which is less. The stuff they are going after is for rifle rounds, like the military uses.

Never cared for the place, virtually no inventory and the range had a weird smell to it. Seemed shady.

"New Jersey Democratic state Sen. Loretta Weinberg, said Friday she would ask the legislature to drop the three-year mandate if the National Rifle Association, which opposes smart gun technology, promises not to block development and sale of the weapons." I wouldn't trust her as far as I could throw her. Sure they might drop the mandate now, but once a few smart guns come on the market, I could see it being reintroduced and depending who is governor, passed once again into law.

I could see 2 & 4, the others, no way.
