Mr.Stu

With the regular EPS, you will most likely need taller iron sights. With the EPS Carry on my G19.5 MOS using a DPP titanium plate, regular height sights are fine. The EPS Carry has a notch in the deck to see the irons sights through. I just checked the box that my EPS Carry came in and found the plate - it is 0.047 inches thick. However, I also checked the manual and the adapter plate that comes with the EPS Carry is to adapt to an RMSC footprint. The regular EPS comes with an RMR adapter plate. I don't have one of those to measure.

For sure. I have countless of them that I never use because they are so easily defeated. They dissuade more than protect. However, if that's all your budget allows, it's better than nothing at all.

Also note the statute is useless. It was overridden by a court case a long, long time ago. Caselaw trumps statutes, it seems.

Look up NJSA 2C:58-3 I'm not by computer right now so can't cut and paste.

Go to your local police station and ask for a cable lock. They give them out for free. https://projectchildsafe.org/safety_kit_site/?safety_kit_state=new-jersey

FFP or SFP? MIL or MOA?

They don't make a G26 slide

Correct. If you're keen on the EPS Carry, maybe cancel the order for the slide you ordered and get your existing slide cut by these guys, https://www.mapleleaffirearms.com/glock507k They offer a direct cut for the K footprint while keeping the rear iron sight in place. ETA. I have never used this company and cannot endorse them. I was just looking for options for you.

The EPS Carry is a great match for the width of a G17/G19/G26 slide. The only thing that is wider is the battery tray cover. I run one on a G19.5 MOS and even with a plate, the deck of the sight is so low that regular height irons work. The EPS Carry uses the same footprint as the K series Holosuns, not the RMR footprint.

I use an AGM gel battery. 335 CCA from Walmart. Not as heavy as a full sized battery and I don't have to worry about it tipping over and spilling acid in my car.

Do you have the complete kit, or only what is shown?

I have the wheelybird with the wobbler attachment. It does not move around much at all, even without staking.

I'm good for tomorrow

With this much interest, should we order a taco truck?

Just a word of caution...Using a knife to defend yourself is classed as deadly force. Deadly force is only justified when defending against deadly force. Whether it's a gun or a knife, the use of force laws are the same.

15 is fine - so long as he's mature enough to observe the safety rules.

This is perhaps an example of a modern day problem that didn't exist at the time of the founding. If someone was a dangerous, violent felon, they were hanged, not released back into the community.

The kicker with taking the annuity is that if the investments they make with that money don't perform as well as expected, you get paid less. If they overperform, you don't get any more than the advertised payout and the lottery keeps the rest.

The rules changed so that everyone has to do the same course of fire. I don't know who made you shoot 125 rounds, but the CoF is now 50 exactly. Also, I'm not sure if you're just saying 9mm is more expensive than .22LR, or that your instructor made you use premium 9mm ammo.

Looks like I don't have anything else on that weekend. Put me down as highly likely. I'll bring guns, clays, ammo and a thrower.

I'm pretty sure that the memo issued by the NJ AG and published on the NJSP web site trumps whatever your Chief of police told you. The AG is his boss, after all.

2C:58-4 Permits to carry handguns. 2C:58-4. g. Training requirement. (1) On or prior to the first day of the seventh month following the enactment of P.L.2022, c.131 (C.2C:58-4.2 et al.), the superintendent shall establish training requirements in the lawful and safe handling and storage of firearms, which shall consist of an online course of instruction, in-person classroom instruction, and target training administered by a certified firearm instructor on a firing range approved by the superintendent and on the list of approved ranges published on the State Police website. The training shall include, but not be limited to, demonstration of a level of proficiency in the use of a handgun in such manner as required by the superintendent and training, developed or approved in conjunction with the Police Training Commission, on justification in the use of deadly force under State law. (2) A person who obtained a permit pursuant to this section prior to the first day of the seventh month following the date of enactment of P.L.2022, c.131 (C.2C:58-4.2 et al.) and which permit is not scheduled to expire until at least one year following the enactment of P.L.2022, c.131 (C.2C:58-4.2 et al.) shall comply with the training requirement established pursuant to this subsection no later than the first day of the tenth month following the date of enactment of P.L.2022, c.131 (C.2C:58-4.2 et al.). There are 3 parts to the new training protocol. The range portion (CCARE) is only part. Completion of the online training and the instructor lead class on use of force are the other 2 parts and must be completed as well. It should be noted that the deadline was extended to December 31st, 2023 when the AG sent his memo about CCARE. If you did use of force as part of the training you received prior to July 21st (or maybe 18th, or maybe 1st) and it covered all of the aspects now defined in the NJSP document, you are good to go. Your instructor should be able to sign an SP.182 for you without any further training.

The wording of the statute is peculiar. The onus is on the Chief or Superintendent to determine what you intend to carry at the time that you submit the application. There is also a section that allows the NJSP Superintendent to specify the required forms used to apply. I read this as making the SP.182a mandatory when you apply as allowable under the statute. However, the day you apply is an single point in time. What you intend to carry at that time and what you intend to carry a year later are not necessarily the same thing. There may be a gun (or three) that you didn't even own at the time you applied for your carry permit. There is nothing in the statute that gives NJSP or any PD the authority to demand any additional forms between permit applications. TLDR; I believe the SP.182a form can be required to be submitted as part of an application for a permit. It does not need to be filled in at any other time.

The statute says: 2C:58-4 Permits to carry handguns. 2C:58-4. c. Investigation and approval... ...The chief police officer or the superintendent, as the case may be, shall also determine and record a complete description of each handgun the applicant intends to carry... The SP.182a form is the chosen method to achieve this.

The SP.182 is the form that your instructor signs as proof that you completed the training. The additional form, the SP.182a does not require your instructor's signature, and is a form to tell the PD which guns you intend to carry.
