    I grew up in NYC's Little Italy across the street from the Italian Social club. Still remember going with my mom to people's houses to buy a new winter coat. Welcome home signs for those released from prison. Very low income and yet had an extremely low violent crime rate. My point is that what is said about income is true but there are other factors that affect crime rates.

    I'm guessing little Italy didn't have the drug problem that the other areas do. I believe the criminal network plays the biggest role in street crime.

    It was also stated that she was a prepper of some sort. I know from experience that most people that prep tend to try and save as much time as possible to be able to safely gather and go. What if this was the case with the guns? What if they were placed somewhere loaded to be easily accessible just Incase?

    At the beginning of this I stated my concerns with the accessibility of the firearms. I always keep a pistol at the ready, but un-chambered. My long arms are all locked away, but still relatively easy for ME!! To gain access.

    If loaded guns stored unsecured was what occurred, then I believe this is something that needs to be addressed.

    I am not making assumptions or passing any judgement on Lanza's mother, I'm responding to the assertion made earlier in the thread if safes were required along with gun ownership that this incident wouldn't have happened.

    I never said it wouldn't of happened, I said what if it would of prevented it? I'm only stating my opinion under the assumption she may not have had a safe.

    So you are saying that 30 to 50 percent of the US population is going to lay back and take a blatant breach of the constitution on multiple levels. Hmm. Maybe a lot of those will but here is the rub. The US president is elected by 26% of the population (only 50% of the eligible voters vote) and last time there was a AWB we replaced damn near all of congress. I think the politicians still know that, but we'll see.

     

    I'll tell you what though, hiding behind the computer wringing our hands in panic is not what is going to avoid an affront on your liberties. If you actually care, start calling everyone in government NOW. Even our NJ senators, because if they get 1000 calls they may get a hint. Or .. we can sit back and worry and fret and not get off our asses. At the end of the day we get the government we deserve.

    I need help getting a petition going for a "School Marshall" program utilizing retired military vets and retired LEO's

    Is anyone interested in helping me get something going? Who would sponsor a petition like this? NRA? Military job friendly organization? Educational organization?

    Hey, This is my first post on a topic, so I definitely don't want to offend anyone. This is JUST MY OPINION.

     

    First, I was raised in Christian home. What this home taught me was to respect your parents, respect the law's of the land (even when you don't agree), & treat others as you would want to be treated. I did make mistakes, I sinned, and I didn't always do the right thing. But, those classic foundations have always stuck with me. Watching my Father treat my Mother with love and respect shaped me into a man that takes care of my wife, never puts her down, and would do anything to make sure she is taken care of. When it comes to others, I have a high level of respect for all opinions & differences. I respect authority. If I break the law, I KNOW there are consequences.

     

    Now, My brother & his fiance are teachers. My Wife is an Occupational Therapist who graduated from Columbia University where she experienced 6 months of field work with a mental health institution. Listening to the three of them talk back and forth last night was horrifying. My Brother's fiance was just attacked by one of her students on Thursday, and the school system is only suspending her for one day. That's it? Really? My Wife was telling me how some of these children with serious mental health issues are there because of abusive or neglectful parents. Not only do they not get the help they need, but those abusive parents still have a say in what kind of treatment their children receive. How did we become so backwards?

     

    Everyone can keep arguing in circles whether it concerns religion, access to firearms, etc. But one fact remains. This country has moved in a direction of immorality, political correctness, & lack of accountability. Children are being taught that you can get away with just about anything. I don't agree that it's always the parents fault. I've seen kids from good families acting out & breaking the rules because they know that there won't be any repercussions.

     

    Sorry for the rant, but I stand firm that this country has shaped it's own evils. We've created this monster. Hope I didn't offend anyone

    No offense taken. Your spot on.

    I really believe it to be one of the best ideas I can come up with. Add a level of security that would allow people to feel safer after this incident. Employ a growing number of unemployed veterans. Top priority- keep our children and teachers safe! The concealed carry wouldn't heighten fear for young children. But I also feel having someone on staff could help educate children on lawful gun ownership, and the positives behind it.

    Why not employ all of these Vets coming back from oversea's? After a thorough mental eval, and some specialized training. They could be put in place similar to an air Marshall, school Marshall. They would be in plain clothes, concealed carry, possibly a badge as a visual deterrent. Something to think about.

    I've been thinking about this soo much, I keep coming back to the one thing I don't understand. Why did he have access to these weapons? Why isn't there anything in place that would require gun owner to show proof of owning a safe? You can only purchase as many guns as your safe is designed to hold. Yes I understand that most people keep some type of weapon accessible most of the time. Maybe we should designed some type of method of securing these weapons within reach, but safely out of others hands.

    Quote from Internet.

    " How do you obtain a Firearms Purchaser Identification Card and/or a Permit to Purchase a Handgun?

    You must apply at your local police department. If you do not have a local police department or you are an out of state resident, you must apply at the nearest New Jersey State Police station (excluding toll roads, stations on the New Jersey Turnpike, Garden State Parkway, and Atlantic City Expressway).

     

    For any further information outlining specific requirements, contact your local police department or nearest New Jersey State Police station. "

    Id be interested in gun ownership numbers in these towns as well as how racial numbers skew. With a large and diverse populations that tend to cluster and man of these having very diverse views and or beliefs regarding gun ownership.

    I've been a Vineland resident all my life (except for a year in Las Vegas, and I'm currently 50ft from the Vineland border in Millville) I grew up in the old part of town... Mostly Italians that eventually moved out into the farm lands. It was comprised of the original houses ( where I grew up) surrounded by low income apartment complexes. I eventually relocated out into the wealthier side of town. This side is comprised of mostly tradesman, police, cpa's, dr's, small business owners, and anyone else that can afford the insane property taxes. For a 14 acre plot the taxes came out to a little over 15,000$ a year. There were smaller, lower income families living next to the larger houses built outside the neighborhoods. You also have clusters of neighborhoods where each house have a value of at least 750,000$. Mostly dr's, and people involved with money. They kind of lived in their own bubble. Where I lived, I was surrounded by people with similar views. We choose to live a little more secluded, we were able to shoot in our backyards. Large number of hunters, almost everyone I know owns a gun.

    I hate to cut off now, but I have to fly. I'll pick up where I left off tomorrow.

    Well, i dunno. They said the rifle was in the car.http://www.foxnews.c...ecticut-school/"The vehicle the suspect drove to the school was registered to his mother. At least three guns were found -- a Glock and a Sig Sauer, both pistols, inside the school, and a .223-caliber rifle in the back of a car, authorities said."
    I just read an article stating he fired the rifle initially at the first group upon entering the building. Then advanced down the hallway with 4 pistols.... I believe the media is just trying to outdo the previous articles.... The mixed reports are extremely confusing.... I feel the media should have to wait to report until at least some facts are known.

    Nice to see another Ron so close by. I'm really hoping I get a call soon. Just got done watching a debate on CNN about gun control after today. What is involved in transferring a long gun between friends? Paperwork, matching FID and license and preferably done at a fll to get it electronically filed? My local GS wouldn't hold a gun for me. Even with 100% payment. I'm getting worried this might have been the straw that broke the camels back.

    Well if worse comes to worse, tax return will sweeten the deal.

    I'm starting to consider building my own now. My good friend has a few spare stripped lowers. I was thinking of buying all the parts to build it. By the time I purchase and build I'm hoping my card should be in. Then he can sign the lower over to me. I'm not really sure of the laws behind that idea. The lower Would remain at his house in the workshop until my card comes in.

    Welcome to the forums from Williamstown. I heard Millville is about 3 month wait. Not great but not as bad as someothers. Once again, Welcome back to hell.................

    Thanks for the welcome!

    I don't understand why I would take that long.... They have a fully staffed full time records dept that handles the permits.

    I'm really hoping that the tragedy today doesn't hurt my chances of getting the AR I have my eye on.

    I'm absolutely sick to my stomach, I wish there was a way for the legal gun owners to reach out to the families and express our remorse.

    Because it isn't about guns, it is about people. Good or bad, but people. On the same damn day a guy in China went after 22 kids with a knife. A gallon of gasoline and a match would work just as well.

     

    It is easier to blame the tools, so we avoid dealing with the real problems.

    I was saying this earlier. I was stating how NYC has a ban on soda over a certain size. They blame the sugary drinks for obesity problems, when in reality they are passing the blame. Instead of addressing the sedentary lifestyle most people live today, they blame an item that when consumed in large portions isn't good for healthy active individuals.

    Idk.... This I a very sad day... Prayers for the families and everyone affected.

    Thanks for the welcome! The loss of freedoms hurt pretty badly. This state also has insanely strict laws on titling dual sport motorcycles.... Another problem I encounter after moving back....

    I'll probably be Florida bound in the next few years. Or Nevada again, or Arizona... Pa at the least lol.

    I hope everyone is having a safe and pleasant Friday. I wanted to stop in an introduce myself. My name is Ron, I'm currently residing in Millville, NJ.

    I lived in Las Vegas from my 21st birthday until the following September ( 9months ) I fell in love with anything firearms related while living there. I was 13 days out from starting Metro's Police academy, but due to a family emergency I had to relocate back to NJ ( still very upset about that)

    While living out there I purchased my first pistol ( Ruger SR9 in stainless )

    To think all I had to do was walk in the store, throw down cash, wait for NIC's to come back, wait 72hrs and pick my gun up. Thankfully I was able to shoot at the GS's indoor range immediately following my payment.

    Well when came back to NJ I put off applying for my FID, wish I would of got it right away...

    I haven't been able to shoot anything other than my shotgun (Winchester 1300 fully rifled and my Remington 66nylon) since I've been back. I was fortunate enough to live on 14acres outside city limits.

    Well last week my buddy picked up a bushmaster ar15. Well that got my wheels turning...

    Thankfully I dropped my app for fid off Wednesday 11/21. I have already set my sights on a Windham Weaponry Ar.

     

     

    I took some pistol training classes in Las Vegas for my CCW, but decided open carry was fine for me. I didn't really have the money at the time to finish getting my CCW.

     

    Is anyone familiar with the wait times for Millville Pd to issue my initial FID?

    There were no PP's I didn't want to delay my app any longer. My references receive their form the following week, and returned next day. It's only been 3wks so I'm not going to call yet to check my status. I was planning on purchasing my first black rifle right after Christmas as long as everything is in by then.

    If anyone local to me could give me a heads up on wait times, I would really Appreciate the help.
