    I read somewhere yesterday that this bill will only apply to individuals who have been given permits in their home state. Has this already been discussed in this thread?

     

    Here's the thread: http://goo.gl/5H6XrG

     

    Here's the quote that bothers me:

     

    U.S. Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, has introduced a bill, the Constitutional Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act, to allow individuals with concealed carry privileges in their home state to exercise those rights in any other state that has concealed carry laws. The law would require individuals to abide by those state’s concealed carry laws.

     

     

    In other words if this passes and the President signs it Shaneen Allen can drive to A.C. carrying anything she wants but we go to jail for doing the same thing. Also doesn't NJ require you to list or register the gun(s) you will be carrying? How can that possibly apply to out-of-state carriers?

     

    All this is probably just hot air because Obama will not sign this bill and I doubt the Senate has 67 votes to override.

     

    In the event you feel like wasting a few minutes, electrons, and ATP molecules here's Cornyn's email page. This is what I will send him:

     

    Dear Senator Cornyn,

     

    I applaud your sponsorship of the Constitutional Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act. However from my perspective the proposed law has one serious deficiency: It only applies to individuals who hold carry permits from their home state.

     

    As you know three states (New Jersey, Hawaii, Maryland) are essentially no-issue states, and several others (New York, California) are problematic. Many shooting enthusiasts in those jurisdictions hold non-resident permits from Florida, Utah, etc., which under your proposed law would still not be valid in their home states.

     

    This will result in the peculiar situation where a Pennsylvania resident may carry concealed in New Jersey but a New Jersey resident may not.

     

    I urge you to include all valid carry licenses, both resident and non-resident, in your bill.

     

    Sincerely,

     

    xxxx

     

    P.S. I would wait for comments before wasting time emailing Cornyn. It may be the non-resident exclusion was some sort of error on the part of the reporter.

    All of the bills say a license from "a" state which could be read as a license from any state.

     

    The only mention of residency is where you can't use an out of state permit to carry in your own state.

     

    So, yes, you would be able to use your non resident Florida permit to carry in NYC, Philly or Boston for example.

     

    Also to get it to pass, attach it to something and hide it good. It will pass if it's done right.

     

    However republicans don't want this to pass. They want Obama to veto it so the NRA can go say Obama vetoed it and raise money for 2016.

     

    These are professionals not amateurs.

    Bummer.. It's all in the location I guess. When I moved last summer my house went under contract in 3 days with like 7 offers. I guess I got lucky. I thought the market in NJ had come back.

     

    I live in Sussex County. Even at the height of the market houses were slow to move. 

     

    Besides my wife is in love with this house and doesn't want to move out of the NYC area because her kids (outside the marriage) and her job is here. She'll lose her pension and benefits if she quits to move.

    Actually, it's not really complicated at all. Take the class, get fingerprinted, fill out and send in the application (or do it online) and then wait 4-6 weeks. Once you have a TX drivers license and CHL, you no longer have to pass a NICS check to purchase firearms in Texas. Still have to fill out the 4473 but no NICS.

     

     

    This signature is AWESOME!!!

     

     

    I did it last year and it really isn't complicated but it's not as simple as say PA or FL. It's not a simple one form with class certificate and you're done. You need to take their specific class and qualify (which really isn't hard though). 

     

    You can do the online app at any time and schedule your fingerprints at any time then you have I think a year to take the class and send in your paperwork to DPS. That's how most instructors recommend doing it. But you need the online app confirmation before you can schedule your prints. 

     

    Out of state there's a bit more with the timing to avoid multiple trips. They use your DL picture if you're a resident. 

     

    I like their system. You get feedback on the process and it's all tracked online. They are also pretty fast, people are getting them in like 7 days now.

    The reason I asked is some states allow to carry loaded in glove box while others do not.

    Every time I GOOGLED transport fire arm from nj to Texas all I get is dont do it in nj.

    I just needed a quick answer not some smart sad response. It seems Virginia is the only state I can have it in my glove box all the others I have to keep it locked up.

    Do you have a Utah CCW or other permit?

    I think the big problem here is that there are people who want to fight for their second amendment rights in N.J. but there are other outside issues of these issues that prevent them from staying in the state. I'll use myself for example. I live in Hudson County and commute to NYC every day for my job. However I've been doing the math as of late and I'm getting tired of making money only to have it A.) consumed by high taxes in N.J. for property with minimal to no return for myself. B.) Pay for a police force that does not care to defend my rights or my person (not a cop bashing statement just how I personally feel about peace officers and my personal safety). C.) Paying for person A with poor moral stature and shitty family values having five kids and not being held accountable for their decisions in life.

     

    I'm done with this form of socialism through taxation. My corporation has offices in most of the states and my position is remote if I want it to be. Why then would I stay in this state with high taxes, personally does not have my welfare and safety in mind and forces me to pay for the mistakes of others? New Jersey at its best used to be a state of pride and values however we now have a state that is nothing more than a nanny state which will continue to persist because the people that expect a hand out and receive said hand out won't change their minds to vote for a better future, they love the present and the status quo and frankly are brain washed.

     

    Nothing short of a state revolution will change how things are. N.J. is heading for a bad time unless there is a moderate for governor in two years.

    Sadly you're right. However a depressed housing market will keep the productive ones who own homes in the state.

     

    I think what can change NJ apart from a complete revolution is action on the federal level. Courts or congress, and both are looking like long shots now. So those of us who want to enjoy freedom will have to move.

     

    I swear I am never going to own a home ever again. It keeps you anchored and under the thumb of laws and policies that are detrimental to you.

    I think 15 rounds will be history as soon as the next governor gets in. I'm not sure it will be Sweeney. Look for 10, 7 or 5. LEO exempted of course.

     

    Look for FID renewal, probably with a training requirement. Every 2 years is my guess.

     

    OGAM to be tightened probably limit the number of guns per year.

     

    Universal background checks.

     

    .50 ban for sure. Hunting guns and muzzleloaders exempted.

     

    Ammo sales restricted. Probably FID for everything, no online sales, no out of state purchases.

     

    This is only a partial list. I have no doubt they will push it. The dems are completely safe. They love poking us in the eye and sacrificing us at the altar.

    Not everyone is from NJ where they're conditioned to be neurotic about their firearms. I can see how this could happen as the more I carry the more I get used to it on me. I actually feel as if I forgot something when I go into NJ and can't carry. Imagine carrying everyday for your entire life taking it for granite----I see how this could happen. Dumb, no---careless, yes. With more laws equals more chances of breaking the law---as government creates more laws it essentially creates more criminals.

    This isn't even about NJ. Anyone should know that trying to bring anything out of the ordinary in the secure area of an airport is not going to go well. Once I was flying back from Nashville and saw TSA chew out a passenger because he had a homemade MP3 player in his carry on. The wires sticking out made them think it was a bomb. Btw you can't say "bomb" around the TSA Either nor can you make jokes about bombs and weapons.

    As of today the 9th Circuit ruled NO justifiable need in CA  Now how about us in the PRNJ???

     

    Law-abiding Californians may not need to justify their need to carry concealed weapons, after the same three-judge panel that struck down restrictions on the permits earlier this year ruled Wednesday that it is too late for new opponents to join the fight against the ruling.  

    The decision by the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals would bar other law enforcement officials, including state Attorney General Kamala Harris, from appealing its ruling in a case originally brought by an independent journalist who sued the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department over its policy of requiring a specific reason for being allowed to carry a concealed weapon in public.

     

     

    Peruta does not apply here. We have the 3rd circuit decision in Drake v Jerejian binding here which says justifiable need is a "long standing, presumptively lawful measure."

     

    That said, we should apply for carry permits and attach a copy of the peruta decision. Let's see what the superior court judge says...

    In most states TSA/Police give you one pass per lifetime for this provided it seems like a mistake and no aggravating factors. I don't know what the exact policy is, but it has come up often enough and it's been leaked a couple times in the media.

     

    I saw a guy caught with a BIG Fing switchblade, and this thing was no cheapo. TSA and the cops talked for about 5 seconds total. They asked if he was military and they said Yes, they took it and let him into the concourse. But that is probably different than a gun.

     

    I got caught with a leatherman in my camera carry on bag at EWR. They gave me a frown and told me to check the bag.

    From the syllabus accompanying the opinion and order:

     

    "The panel denied motions to intervene, which were filed

    after the panel’s opinion and judgment holding that a

    responsible, law-abiding citizen has a right under the Second

    Amendment to carry a firearm in public for self-defense.

    The State of California and the Brady Campaign to

    Prevent Gun Violence moved to intervene under Federal Rule

    of Civil Procedure 24 after San Diego Sheriff William D.

    Gore declined to file a petition for rehearing en banc. The

    California Police Chiefs’ Association and the California

    Peace Officers’ Association, amici in this case, submitted a

    petition for rehearing en banc. Noting that amici cannot file

    petitions for rehearing en banc, the panel construed the

    petition as a motion to intervene."

     

    As I understand the procedural posture of the case now, only the San Diego Sheriff (Gore) has standing to file a petition for certiorari with SCOTUS in this case. However, he may be disinclined to do so since he did not seek a rehearing en banc. On the other hand, he did submit a letter to the court asking it to allow the State of California to intervene for that purpose. Now that the State was handed a big FU by the majority, a petition for cert. may be coming unless he is out of time. According to Peruta's brief opposing intervention, Gore represented he would no longer require any reason beyond general self defense once the panel decision became final.

     

    Seems to me that if Peruta is now final in the 9th Circuit, then it will take another test case from the PRNJ, PRNY or PRMD to go up and seek SCOTUS review. Clearly there is now a split among the circuit courts of appeal but it still takes a specific case to request certiorari.

    There are two other cases at the circuit level in CA9 - Richards v Prieto and Baker v Kealoha. The former is Yolo County CA and the latter is Hawaii. Alan Gura and Alan Beck respectively are arguing those cases on behalf of plaintiffs.

     

    Those cases were stayed pending the outcome of Peruta. Peruta is one step closer to being final, and when it is (very soon we hope) CA9 will move on those cases.

     

    Richards has a pending en banc petition. It could be reheard en banc but that is unlikely it seems. Next stop after that is SCOTUS.

     

    With a hard split and the Government appealing, chances of a cert grant are pretty high.
