The consequences of that action would be too severe.

I was reminded that’s the weekend I’ve been tagged to help my in-laws move.

Looks promising. I'll bring a case of clays.

2 hours ago, Tunaman said:I consider it a gift that we dont have to qualify with every gun anymore. More guns meant more money. That is now gone. Send the form in. Thanks to Dan Schmutter , Scott Bach, Evan Nappen, Anthony Colandro and all others that were involved with getting these restrictions removed. These guys are doing the heavy lifting behind the scenes. Pay attention people.
Fully agree, our side has made significant strides recently; I can only imagine the long hours they have been putting in.
I do want to point out, not all ranges were/are charging per gun for qualifications though. When I did my initial qualification at Shooters for example, I had two guns signed off on for the price of one. I'd have to check my notes, but I think they did up to five or ten before they charged an extra fee. They were also cheaper than many other ranges. As mentioned in this thread, they are also offering to requalify 4000 people under the new rules at no charge, I was one of them. Let's say they can get the required FBI Q Targets for 50 cents a pop (they use the cardboard version). That's $2000 out of Shooters' pocket just on targets, assuming all 4000 people come back to requalify. Labor costs are likely fixed, unless they needed to increase employee work hours to get them done, I don't know. But it's still work hours they are putting in while not generating revenue. They also have to close those lanes to potential paying customers for the qualification.
How many other ranges are doing that? I think more are going the opposite route and charging for requalification. Some of them forced people to pay for additional courses before letting them qualify in the first place also. I agree it is the range's right to do so, it's their business and they can set their own policies and rates as they wish. Just as it's my right to go someplace else, for as long as there's still options out there.
When I went to Shooters to requalify, I purchased a bit over $250 worth of merchandise as a small thank you. They'd get much more of my money from other purchases if they weren't nearly an hour away (more when shore traffic is factored in). The places charging at every chance they can... I won't spend a dime there unless I have no other choice.

Somewhat related... private sale between immediate family. FFL is not needed, but purchaser still needs P2P, correct?

UPDATEPERMIT TO CARRY QUALIFICATIONSWe did not forget about you! We are still awaiting a few answers from the NJSP Firearms Investigation Unit & the AG’s office.Rest assured IF AND ONLY IF we do need to requalify our customers we will be hosting the requalify courses free of charge to all of our customers with proof of initial qualifications at Shooters Sporting Center being required.Thank you. I would be great if you could post final outcome here as well. I do not have a "book of feces" account anymore.

2 hours ago, Grima Squeakersen said:I have a recent email from the range where I qualified (Shooters) stipulating on behalf of my instructor, Dave Cope, and themselves, that my qualification complies with the current requirements and will remain vaild through the expiration of my permit in 2024. Since I also have USLS coverage, I will continue to carry without losing any sleep over this issue (or non-issue, if you prefer).
Was this a proactive email Shooters sent out, or in response to you contacting them? I did my qualification there also and have not heard anything from them.

8 hours ago, 1LtCAP said:i wasn't noticing that when i bailed, but i have noticed fox news going to the left.
you do have a valid point. when i was still listening, i always knew the time without ever looking at a clock.
Eric Scott uses the leftist's approved words for the Jan 6th protests: violent, deadly, insurrection, attempted takeover, etc... He also gives all of the negative spins towards Trump while remaining mostly silent regarding Biden.
He then shill's himself for advertisers. I still haven't figured out how people can believe a paid spokesperson can be trusted to be an impartial news reporter.

Their "news" has leaned further left as well. To be fair, having it on as an alarm clock is good incentive for me to get up and turn it off.
-
Only time I listen to commercial, over the air radio anymore is first thing in the morning as my alarm clock and it is 101.5; but I hadn't heard of this earlier. I am familiar with the hosts, personalities, jockeys, whatever they call themselves. I did see the Bearing Arms article this morning. My first thought was, good for her and it helps get the word out to more people. Second though was, is the Instructor really wearing a bullet proof vest? That's not really a good look.

I get it and agree with much of what is in the video. Many companies donate to both political parties also. Trump donated to Dems before he ran for office. I view these donations by companies as legal bribery / pay to play / scratch each others backs.
Maybe Liberty donates to both sides, but that's not being shown, maybe they do only donate to the Left, I don't know.

6 hours ago, GRIZ said:Okay. Others have said it and I'll say it again. If the FBI had a search warrant they can look everywhere whatever was listed in the warrant could be hidden. Providing the code was a way to prevent damage to whatever was in the safe.
I'm not LEO or a lawyer. So I will not go down the road of what the FBI had the legal right to do or open. I don't think any of us know with certainty what the warrant said either.
Much of the outrage, is the fact that Liberty had the codes to get into customer's safes and quickly gave that information out. I think many people were not even aware Liberty had codes to get in. Liberty's social media presence would lead someone to believe they would not so quickly cave in and hand out the codes.
Compare this to how Apple responded when the Feds wanted access to the data on terrorist's cell phones. Apple did not comply.
Additionally, people were reporting that Liberty refused to help them gain access to their safe when they lost the code. Obviously, we do not know the full story in those cases. I also saw a link to a news article where Fire Fighters had to cut into a Liberty Safe after a child became locked in one on a showroom floor. Of course, it's possible nobody thought to call Liberty for assistance. But, maybe they did and were told they didn't have the codes?

They had also turned off comments to the original post. Don't know about the new one, haven't looked yet.

I got home from Tennessee overnight. Picked up 1000 Winchester LPP for $108.65 after tax, at a pawn store/gun shop. Overall I'd say powders were more available than primers. Couldn't find powder I was after though. If I saw it I probably would have bought. Prices on primers and powder were competitive, once factoring in shipping and hazmat. Didn't see many projectiles, but I wasn't looking for them either. Ammo prices seemed high to me.
I'd originally intended to make some more stops on the way back, but I was in "get home mode", plus it was after hours during most of my time on the road.

9/10 looks promising.

I got one at Cheyenne in Bordentown.

I did see something on Monday about her being hospitalized and Bucky said he was not coming home early.
From what I've seen/heard, Bucky has 45 days to pick a new Lt, there's no election or chain of succession. I didn't even see where Trenton has to approve. NJ 101.5 reported this morning he has said he is picking someone based on sex and skin color, not who would be best for the job. Two "women of color" (the reporters words) are the short list.

8 hours ago, planenut said:Just out of curiosity what was it on the same web site you used to make the FOIA request or was it on another web site? Also how much did you end up paying for your request?
I sent the request to an email address, not via website. I did not have to pay anything, you have to offer your willingness to pay though.
I sent to this email: [email protected]
With this in the body: (my Serial # and contact info redacted)
Dear Sir or Madam,
I am requesting any and all information found in the Army File of the Department Of Defense (DOD) Small Arms/Light Weapons Registry for 1911a1 Pistol serial number xxxxxxx. I am willing to pay up to $5 for this information, if required.
Thank you for your time,

I'm awaiting an update from the lawyers at ANJRPC. The email from them yesterday implied they'd be issuing more updates.
-
I've contacted them via phone on two or three occasions. Each time I called I provided my information and received a call back. The call about NJ was returned by someone from Nappen's office. I also called at least once to speak with an attorney from another State. I'd say my calls were returned in a couple-several hours. Within a full business day for sure.

Good day, thanks to Scorpio64 & Zeke for the kick in the rear to get out. Had to bail early to take care of something at my parent's house. Looking forward to the next one (down South).

NJSP REQUALIFICATION
in Current New Jersey Gun Laws Discussion
Posted
For what it's worth and those who are curious. I do not have a local PD. I did not get anything from NJSP telling me I had to requalify. After I did the requalification I emailed the form to my local Barracks and asked if anything else was needed. They responded with a one word email "received".
