    Panteramatt,

     

    Don't get the Amazon stick, get Amazon fireTv that has the microSD memory slot.  It's around 30-40 dollars more, but well worth it.  The firestick has no additional memory slots and works off wifi signal.  The FireTv box has a microSD slot to add extra memory AND you can hardwire it using cat5 cable to your modem or use it via wifi.  It also has a USB slot (which is a nice feature to be able add a wireless keyboard to it in order to add Kodi repository addresses without having to hunt and click with the remote).  With so many units in the average house-hold all sucking the same wifi signal, the signal degradation will result in movies having to buffer part way thru...annoying.  If you have the box you can hardwire it in to your network and essentially no internet signal loss.  Downloading Kodi and the best repositories is fairly easy...use you tube, they have tons of tutorials.  You absolutely DO NOT need to buy a pre-jailbroken unit.  You can add Kodi yourself.  If you are concerned about big brother keeping tabs on you, set up a VPN. Again, you tube can walk you thru doing that as well. 

     

    just my 2 cents.

     

    Listen to this guy. ^ He knows what he's talking about. The fire tv, in addition to the benefits he already stated, is also a faster device. And hardwiring directly to your modem or router is definitely faster and a more consistent internet connection.

    So football games will suck? That's the only live TV I would be watching.

    Yes. Not even worth it tbh.

     

    Kodi on a Firestick is great for watching already aired tv shows, and movies. But it's not that great for live tv.

    A BILL

    To amend title 18, United States Code, to provide a means by which nonresidents of a State whose residents may carryconcealed firearms may also do so in the State.

    Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,

    SECTION 1. Short title.

    This Act may be cited as the “ConcealedCarryReciprocityAct of 2017”.

    SEC. 2. Reciprocity for the carrying of certain concealed firearms.

    (a) In general.—Chapter 44 of title 18, United States Code, is amended by inserting after section 926C the following:

    Ҥ 926D. Reciprocity for the carrying of certain concealed firearms

    “(a) Notwithstanding any provision of the law of any State or political subdivision thereof (except as provided in subsection (b)) and subject only to the requirements of this section, a person who is not prohibited by Federal law from possessing, transporting, shipping, or receiving a firearm, who is carrying a valid identification document containing a photograph of the person, and who is carrying a valid license or permit which is issued pursuant to the law of a State and which permits the person to carry a concealed firearm or is entitled to carry a concealed firearm in the State in which the person resides, may possess or carry a concealed handgun (other than a machinegun or destructive device) that has been shipped or transported in interstate or foreign commerce, in any State that—

    “(1) has a statute under which residents of the State may apply for a license or permit to carry a concealed firearm; or

    “(2) does not prohibit the carrying of concealed firearms by residents of the State for lawful purposes.

    “(b) This section shall not be construed to supersede or limit the laws of any State that—

    “(1) permit private persons or entities to prohibit or restrict the possession of concealed firearms on their property; or

    “(2) prohibit or restrict the possession of firearms on any State or local government property, installation, building, base, or park.

    “©(1) A person who carries or possesses a concealed handgun in accordance with subsections (a) and (b) may not be arrested or otherwise detained for violation of any law or any rule or regulation of a State or any political subdivision thereof related to the possession, transportation, or carrying of firearms unless there is probable cause to believe that the person is doing so in a manner not provided for by this section. Presentation of facially valid documents as specified in subsection (a) is prima facie evidence that the individual has a license or permit as required by this section.

    “(2) When a person asserts this section as a defense in a criminal proceeding, the prosecution shall bear the burden of proving, beyond a reasonable doubt, that the conduct of the person did not satisfy the conditions set forth in subsections (a) and (b).

    “(3) When a person successfully asserts this section as a defense in a criminal proceeding, the court shall award the prevailing defendant a reasonable attorney’s fee.

    “(d)(1) A person who is deprived of any right, privilege, or immunity secured by this section, under color of any statute, ordinance, regulation, custom, or usage of any State or any political subdivision thereof, may bring an action in any appropriate court against any other person, including a State or political subdivision thereof, who causes the person to be subject to the deprivation, for damages or other appropriate relief.

    “(2) The court shall award a plaintiff prevailing in an action brought under paragraph (1) damages and such other relief as the court deems appropriate, including a reasonable attorney’s fee.

    “(e) In subsection (a):

    “(1) The term ‘identification document’ means a document made or issued by or under the authority of the United States Government, a State, or a political subdivision of a State which, when completed with information concerning a particular individual, is of a type intended or commonly accepted for the purpose of identification of individuals.

    “(2) The term ‘handgun’ includes any magazine for use in a handgun and any ammunition loaded into the handgun or its magazine.

    “(f)(1) A person who possesses or carries a concealed handgun under subsection (a) shall not be subject to the prohibitions of section 922(q) with respect to that handgun.

    “(2) A person possessing or carrying a concealed handgun in a State under subsection (a) may do so in any of the following areas in the State that are open to the public:

    “(A) A unit of the National Park System.

    “(B) A unit of the National Wildlife Refuge System.

    “© Public land under the jurisdiction of the Bureau of Land Management.

    “(D) Land administered and managed by the Army Corps of Engineers.

    “(E) Land administered and managed by the Bureau of Reclamation.”.

    (b) Clerical amendment.—The table of sections for such chapter is amended by inserting after the item relating to section 926C the following:


    “926D. Reciprocity for the carrying of certain concealed firearms.”.

    © Severability.—Notwithstanding any other provision of this Act, if any provision of this section, or any amendment made by this section, or the application of such provision or amendment to any person or circumstance is held to be unconstitutional, this section and amendments made by this section and the application of such provision or amendment to other persons or circumstances shall not be affected thereby.

    (d) Effective date.—The amendments made by this section shall take effect 90 days after the date of the enactment of this Act.

     

    The bold part is what worries me the most. If this passes, what's to stop NJ lawmakers from getting rid of "May Issue" and instead taking away all carry options in this state?

    I have no intentions of doing any competition shooting any time soon, but maybe next year after I get re-acquainted with shooting and take a few training classes that involve drawing and movement. I would most likely want to start out in a class with stock guns. I read that there are some minor changes that are acceptable in these classes. Would upgraded sights (with tritium) and an apex trigger kit still be acceptable in an IDPA or USPSA stock class?

    If you want to shoot Production in USPSA, the trigger mods must not be visible. In other words, you can do internal trigger work, but replacing the actual trigger itself, is a no go. Also, night sights aren't the best for shooting competition. Not that it won't work, but a fiber optic front sight and plain black rear sights are the setup you will see most on competition guns.

    Because states wouldn't challenge the law on 2nd amendment grounds. Also the court has never stated the 2nd amendment gives you the right to carry outside the home.

     

     

    I understand that SCOTUS hasn't decided whether the 2nd Amendment protects the right to carry outside the home. But my point is that such a right would be asserted in defense of the Hudson law when challenged by an anti-gun state/group.  If that right exists, then the statute by definition protects and implements a fundamental right which trumps the state's right argument, not unlike how the recognition of gay marriage by SCOTUS forced state laws barring it to yield.  I just don't see SCOTUS saying, even assuming the 2nd Amendment protects the right to carry outside the home, the Hudson reciprocity law is nonetheless unconstitutional on states' rights grounds. 

     

     

    I "think" this is what Princetonian is talking about. This article does bring up some valid concerns of this bill.

    This link is from the other thread here. According to Hudson himself the bill *will* allow us to ccw here on out of state carry permits

     

    "Many gun owners in states that use a “may issue” permitting process, such as California or New Jersey, are not able to obtain concealed carry permits from their home state—even if they’ve passed a background check and met the training requirements—since the final decision in those states is left at the discretion of government officials. However, those same gun owners may be able to obtain a non-resident permit from a state with different gun laws. Under Hudson’s proposal, that permit would allow them to carry across the country—including in their home state."

    He can say whatever he wants but I want to see it written in the actual bill. That's the only things that's I trust, not what he says is in it.

    It says,  "who is carrying a valid identification document

    containing a photograph of the person, and who is carrying a valid license or permit which is issued pursuant

    to the law of a State and which permits the person to

    carry a concealed firearm or is entitled to carry a concealed firearm"

     

    So you need a photo ID such as a drivers license and a carry permit.

     

    It does NOT say the photo must be on the carry permit. Plain and simple language here. 2 separate documents. Plain as day!

    NH is good to go!

     

    Thanks for the clarification. Does anyone see in the actual bill itself that this will apply to folks like us who can't get a carry permit here? I want to make sure the bill itself states that this will apply to a person with an out of state permit as well, even if they do not have a permit from their own state. I know the articles states this is the case, but if anyone can confirm this is in the actual bill itself, would be much appreciated.

     

    The reason I'm asking, is because of this video. Listen at about 30 second to a bit after 1 min.

    Just read your response. Did you send a copy of your NJ ID anyway?

     

    Any info on the court ruling?

     

    Just asking because I just filled out the form and ready to send it tomorrow.

    It states on the page that I opened the pdf from that it's no longer needed. It also quoted the court case. You're good to go. Just fill out the app, and send a $100 check with it.

     

    Another thing I've been thinking about. Even though the Republicans hold the majority in the House and Senate, we still need to urge all of them to vote in favor. Make those phone calls and send those emails.

    Two years ago a parking ticket came in the mail from Montclair NJ. I called the court clerk and asked to see the picture of the car and license plate as they do take pictures. The picture showed a black 2010 Honda Civic with a license plate 1 digit off. I explained that my son is in college in Hoboken and we do not allow him to have his car up there. I sent a picture of our 2010 Silver Honda Civic and license plate. The clerk said she was sorry when she got my picture in the mail and sent me a letter confirming we did not have to pay the ticket. I still have the letter just in case.

    I was advised by an out of state lawyer acuaintance that I should send a letter to the court file, requesting photos of my car, and a sworn affidavit from the ticketing parking authority officer. I will also send along any proof I have that will hopefully get them to drop the bogus charge. Who knows if it'll work but it's worth a shot. Does anyone know if Hoboken Parking Authority takes pictures of the cars they ticket?

    Honestly at this point, mostly turkey & deer.

     

     

     

    Seriously, you can't really hunt with a .22 in jersey? That's literally so stupid.. this is why I hate NJ regulations. I guess i'll just buy my .22 to plinker with, since it's super cheap.

    Do you know of a webpage that shows A) what firearms can be used on what animals B) when the animals are in season? If you can, thanks!

    Did you just say you wanted to hunt deer with a .22?

     

    ETA: Didn't realize this was an older thread.

    I have my Florida packet sitting here waiting to be filled out. Chief said no problem for prints.

    Doesn't this bill require photo id? And does NH give that? Or has this changed?

     

    Va you can do online I think. Or is that W va?

     

     

    Utah and Florida require submission of a passport sized photo and the license will carry the photo.  New Hampshire only requires you to fill out their form and mail a check; no photo.

     

    I think what Zeke is asking is if this Reciprocity Bill requires a photo on your carry permit. If that's your question Zeke, I don't know the answer to that but would like to find out before I send my app and money to NH as they do not require a photo. The only reason I chose NH was because of how easy it is, but if a photo is required, I'll have to look at other states that do require a photo on the permit. Anyone care to chime in?
