Mags yes, rifle no. Don'tcha just love NJ? /Facepalm

I'm also not a Gary Johnson fan since hes open borders and a gun grabber himself,
Do you have a source re: gun grabber? Not saying you're wrong, but I can't find anything on this

Thanks for posting! Picked up a case

Thanks, Pizza Bob! So nice of you to write it up like this for us

Correct me if I'm wrong but NJ code probably says that self defense alone is not enough of a reason to get a CC permit. If so, this is where we
can get them since these recent rulings state that self defense outside the home is the core of the Second Amendment and to prevent lawful
citizens from such protection is unconstitutional!
Let's hope so. Remember, NJ and the Third Circuit don't care what happens in DC. This would only matter if
a) some NJ case makes it to SCOTUS, and
b) the Supremes decide they want to resolve the circuit split, and
c) the Supremes agree with us.
Let's cross our fingers.

I wonder how many people in NJ have applied for a Permit to Carry a Handgun. I know there was talk about a mass application, but then I heard nothing. It is hard to prove a de facto ban if there aren't people being denied a permit.
This. Without a boatload of denials to prove our point, our argument is pure hearsay. No judge is going to care that NJ has a reputation of de facto no-issue: we need to have the irrefutable data to prove it.
ETA: Props to mipa for predicting "even DC will get carry before NJ." (You know this I-told-you-so is coming, right? )

Agh, why did I just buy a 38 snub?!

This would be a complete non-issue in almost any other state in the country. I'm completely sick of NJ ignoring the United States Constitution.
No victim, no crime. F this state.

you just can't make this crap up....

Can you hook up a keyboard to any of them? I'm looking for a tablet/laptop/netbook to keep up with work stuff away from my desktop.
For this purpose, Microsoft Surface Pro is the best option around. The Pro line runs a full Windows 8 operating system so it will literally do EVERYTHING your desktop can do.
I needed to replace a 4 y.o. laptop around Christmas time and went with the Surface Pro 2. I bring it in to work for work things (full MS Office suite, statistics software, etc.), bring it home for web surfing/Netflix/talking on gun forums, and even use it to take notes in class with OneNote 2013 (the stylus recognition is AWESOME).
The attachable keyboard will make you forget it's not a laptop, so you can get real work done.
The only bad thing I have to say about it is the Surface Pro 2 screen dimensions: it's kind of a short and long rectangle. But they fixed that with the Surface Pro 3, which just came out (and I plan on getting it as soon as $ becomes available).
I highly recommend the Surface Pro 3

I'm skeptical of pro 2A democrats, but Democrats in NJ outnumber Republicans. Gun rights needs to be a bipartisan issue for it to survive in NJ.
This x 1000

Adding to those who have posted above, it is specifically for magazines that are capable of feeding ammunition into a SEMI-automatic firearm.
If the magazine is ONLY capable of feeding ammo into a pump/lever/bolt action firearm, you can have it as big as you want.
E.g., you can make a custom 100-round Mosin magazine, as long as it only works with Mosins. Or you can extend the tube on a pump/lever gun 100 feet out in front of the barrel. Good luck using it, though

Option 3 is the jury box, but good luck getting the other 11 statist jurors to nullify.
I think we have a few options left before the cartridge box becomes necessary. Check out Gun for Hire episode 162 re: recall elections http://njgunforums.com/forum/index.php/topic/70457-gfh-radio-162-governor-chris-christy-vetos-10-round-bill/

Nice. For any interested parties, I have a few Mec-Gar 10 rounders and love them. Solidly built and they feed perfectly. I expect the 15 rounders would perform similarly.
Great price here, too! -
That's the problem I do not want to fill out any extra BS forms just to vote. I shouldn't have to.
In principle, agree with you. But political parties are private organizations so you have to play by their private rules. Primary Elections are traditionally only open to party members, but this let's you "game" the system. Your paperwork-free "civil right to vote" is what the General Election is for.
Think about this way: You're not filling out an extra form to vote. You're filling out an extra form to pit the two-party system against itself.
(If you refuse to do something as simple as this, then what ARE you willing to do?)
ETA: Apologies to OP and the forum at large for thread drift

I was told at the poles that I had to join a party in order to vote in the primary. I wanted to vote in the primary for the Denville mayor election but I did not want to join a party. Since no Democrat runs in denville the real election is the primary. I could not vote. I could at a later date go to the county clerk and change my affiliation but that is BS in my opinion. I should not have to join anything in order to exercise my rights.
I will never join either party as neither represent my beliefs so with the current system I will never be able to vote for my local officials.
I understand where you're coming from, and I agree with you 100%. However, the gentlemen below are correct:
You do not have to be registered to a particular party to vote in a primary in this state.
In a primary election the volunteer will simply ask you which party you would like to vote for.
However, if you were registered as a Democrat (or other party?) then they would not be able to setup the machine for you to vote in the Republican primaries. Are you sure you are registered as unaffiliated?
Double check that you are Unaffiliated because "Independent" and "Unaffiliated" are not the same thing according to the glorious state of NJ. If you are "Independent" you cannot vote in the Republican or Democrat primaries. If you are "Unaffiliated" you can vote in either one, but doing so will cause the County to automatically register you as a member of that party "for your convenience." However, you can immediately de-register again by filling out this form and mailing it to your county's Commissioner of Registration/Superintendent of Elections at the correct address for your county.
Just mail the form a day or two after the election and you'll never even have time to enter "the system" so your non-party principles will remain unmolested.

she's a beauty!

It's actually called "unaffiliated" and you declare your affiliation on election day.
You can also change your party affiliation at any time, up to 55 days before a primary.
Since I live up here in Sussex county it is a waste of time registering as a democrat, since we are the strongest Republican county in NJ and local races that matter are decided at the primary, essentially (democrats don't win the general). It's a waste of time doing that in a place like Newark or Jersey City as well, because you're never going to overcome the inner city vote.
But if you live in a swing district, it will be very worth your while to vote DINO (Democrat In Name Only).
This is by far the most powerful way to use your vote, and we need to spread this message far and wide.
(Unfortunately I live in LD22, where Jerry Green and Linda Stender ran unopposed in the 2013 Demo. primary )

I won't beat the dead horse anymore than it already is, but if you're set on moving here please be an "active" gun owner. Aka join the NRA, NJ2AS (New Jersey Second Amendment Society), ANJRPC (Association of New Jersey Rifle and Pistol Clubs), etc and VOTE. Jersey has some of the lowest voter turnout in the nation, so please be part of the solution rather than the problem
Also, beware of the temptation to vote down party lines. Some people say "just vote Republican," but there are some R's who vote anti-gun and some D's who vote pro-gun (e.g. Jeff Van Drew is a dem but he sponsors pro gun bills EVERY YEAR without fail)
Welcome to the machine

Look at it this way though. If he gets his permit, we've won. This is different from the federal lawsuit where the plaintiff drops off if the permit is granted. If he gets the permit, we win.
Not trying to butt heads, just wondering: why is it different?

Good on you! Still having trouble with my gf... The anti propaganda got to her when she was really young
Just went thru the worst part of being a pet owner
