    2C:39-3. Prohibited Weapons and Devices.

    e. Certain weapons. Any person who knowingly has in his possession any gravity knife, switchblade knife, dagger, dirk, stiletto, billy, blackjack, metal knuckle, sandclub, slingshot, cestus or similar leather band studded with metal filings or razor blades imbedded in wood, ballistic knife, without any explainable lawful purpose, is guilty of a crime of the fourth degree.

    What possible lawful purpose would one have with a water balloon. Fun? There's no exemption for fun in NJ!

    I am not a betting man particularly when it comes to politics. Wasn't it a sure thing that Hillary would be the next President? I saw all of the polls. We would never get to 3% GDP growth (forget about 4%) even for a single quarter. Rocket man would never shake hands with Trump. But stuff happens.

    On the other hand I hope (I know hope is not a strategy) the Republicans get a veto proof Senate majority, RBG retires, and SCOTUS tells NJ ALL of our laws are unconstitutional. In my dreams :)

    Anything is possible in politics which makes these discussions so much fun.

    Judge Kavanaugh and the Second Amendment

    http://www.scotusblog.com/2018/07/judge-kavanaugh-and-the-second-amendment/

    "....Kennedy sided with his more conservative colleagues in finding a Second Amendment right to have a handgun in the home, and there is no reason to believe that Judge Brett Kavanaugh, if confirmed, is likely to disagree"

    "....We know from his recorded dissents from the denial of review that Thomas would vote to review and overturn some existing gun laws, and we know that Gorsuch – at least to some extent – agrees with him. But it takes four votes to grant review in a case, and we do not know whether Roberts and Alito also agree with Thomas but have opted not to say so publicly, or whether they instead are content to leave the court’s gun-rights jurisprudence as it is."

    ".... just this week, the 9th Circuit struck down Hawaii’s ban on carrying weapons openly outside of the home; even if the case goes to the full 9th Circuit, the losing party is almost certain to ask the Supreme Court to weigh in."

    I’ve carried a skeleton in Manhattan 5-6 days a week for the last 10 years. I’ve gotten stopped with it several times but never had an issue. If you can’t flip the blade with a single motion they won’t bust your chops. I always tell them it’s a tool i use for work and usually I’m sent on my way, twice though i had a cop damn near dislocate his shoulder flipping my knife so hard trying to get it open. 

    I think I read that they are working on a device that will allow them to flick the knife with 500 pounds of force. Something about flux capacitors. Not sure where I saw that. :)

    I guess the left will start calling for common sense 3D “printer control”. (:-)

    Why does anyone NEED a 3-D printer. Printers weren't around at the founding so we should have to show justifiable need why we NEED one. Your police chief, high school teachers, doctors, dentists, ex-girlfriends, etc. would have to submit notarized statements about your NEED. Ugh.

    U.S. appeals court upholds right to carry gun in public

    https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-guns-court/u-s-appeals-court-constitution-gives-right-to-carry-gun-in-public-idUSKBN1KE28C?feedType=RSS&feedName=domesticNews&__twitter_impression=true&utm_medium=Social&utm_source=Twitter

    "(Reuters) - A federal appeals court ruled on Tuesday that the U.S. Constitution’s Second Amendment protects the right to openly carry a gun in public for self-defense, rejecting a claim by Hawaii officials that the right only applies to guns kept at home."

    "The ruling by a three-judge panel on the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, makes the San Francisco-based court the sixth U.S. circuit court to interpret the Second Amendment this way and could set the issue on a path toward the U.S. Supreme Court, which has not taken up a major gun rights case since 2010."

    None of these additional items are allowed by NJ law. You could go down there with copies of the appropriate sections of the law but they will probably ignore you if you can even get an appointment to see them. Your best bet might be to contact either ANJPC or NJ2AS. Better yet join these organizations before you contact them. Good luck and maybe someone on the forum has some personal experience with JCPD that will help you.

    So, is central command for CERT county wide, or do they break it down smaller, by regions or towns. I'm assuming you're in Monmouth County (but under your avatar it says "country"). Who handles the training and dispatch, is it one location for the complete county or are there smaller groups that get dispatched to different areas of the county or coming out of certain towns?

    I see there is one coordinator for Ocean County, my area, I sent a quick note to him for more info.

    Overall CERT is a program of FEMA. Each state has an OEM as well as each county and town. At each level they are independent but work closely within the overall framework.

    In the fall of 2016 all local CERT's were invited to the State Police Headquarters in Trenton to display some of the equipment that they have. It gave us all a chance to see what other towns are doing. There is also periodic county wide training for disasters as well as between adjacent towns.

    At the individual level the mechanism to activate CERT can vary. Some towns have the CERT manager activate individuals. In other places (I am not sure if this is in NJ or other states) any individual that happens to be first on the scene of a disaster can activate CERT. There are protocols setup by FEMA on the proper procedures to use. Smaller towns don't necessarily have a very active CERT program.

    The following link to FEMA will provide much more information:

    https://www.ready.gov/community-emergency-response-team

    "The Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) program educates volunteers about disaster preparedness for the hazards that may impact their area and trains them in basic disaster response skills, such as fire safety, light search and rescue, team organization, and disaster medical operations. CERT offers a consistent, nationwide approach to volunteer training and organization that professional responders can rely on during disaster situations, which allows them to focus on more complex tasks. Through CERT, the capabilities to prepare for, respond to and recover from disasters is built and enhanced."

    "At the same time, the CERT program was designed as a grassroots initiative and specifically structured so that the local and state program managers have the flexibility to form their programs in the way that best suits their communities. CERT volunteers are trained to respond safely, responsibly, and effectively to emergency situations, but they can also support their communities during non-emergency events as well. There are over 2,700 local CERT programs nationwide, with more than 600,000 individuals trained since CERT became a national program."
