I think, perhaps, a lot of what she offers is done via "sponsorships." She's paid to endorse certain things, and I guess that's why she has so much. But what she endorses is very good stuff. For example, I have one of these "Vaultek" quick access safes that she endoresed: I got the one she's demonstrating. As for "expense," I don't think either gender has cornered the market on that. We have a ton of different holsters, a ton of different belts (and they can run $100+ ), and other things.

If you're looking for advice on how best to carry from the female perspective, I have the perfect YouTube channel for you. It's called, "She Equips Herself." And it's hosted by a young lady named "Stavrulo" or Stav for shot. She is of Greek Ancestry but was born and raised in Massachusetts. But she and her husband (Mike, an active LEO) give all kinds of info. on what wbat weapons to use, how to clean them and, most importantly, what kinds of clothing to wear in different seasons. I think you'll like her perspective.

I believe that would be Loretta "Weinberg," of Bergen County. She's the one that was caught on a hot mike after a committee meeting, saying, "Confiscate.... Confiscate... Confiscate!" Give it time. I'm sure Moms, et. al. will be reminding all the merchants to put up "Force of law" no gun signs. Now, whether or not they do it is a different story. I guess it may depend on whether or not they do proper "customer analysis." If they perceive that most of their customer bases are pro-2A, I doubt you'll see a lot of those signs. And, yes, I do believe IIRC, that it was the GSP mall where that little ghetto gunfight occurred. Man... I remember when GSP was an "outdoor only" mall.

TBH, I'm surprised there aren't a lot more stores, etc. that post the "no-gun" signs because they do carry the force of law in NJ. They do not (currently) in FL. And that's why you don't see so many, down here. Some signs, down here, might "suggest" or "ask" you not to carry openly in their establishment. They say nothing about concealed, as long as it stays concealed. But the moment those signs acquire the force of law, trust me they'll be sprouting up all over the place, down here. Just like they did in Texas and Ohio. They already had force of law signs in Tx (sec. 30.06 and 30.07). But when constitutional carry was passed, they added Sec. 30.05 to cover that. A lot of folks have been fighting for "open carry" to be included in the "Constitutional Carry" bill up for consideration now in FL. But the fear is that if it were ever included, the legislature would push for "force of law" no gun signs. They did it before, the last time OC was brought up. I support OC for those who want it, and it actually might even be of benefit to me as it eliminates the discretion given to LEOs when it comes to busting/harassing people for "accidental exposure" of a concealed weapon. But not at the cost of "force of law" no gun signage. And, even if it were to pass magically, I'd not use it anyway. As it stands now, I won't use the "permitless carry" being considered now, as I'll keep my CWFL. It benefits me in re: reciprocity with other states, as well as not having to wait 3 days for an FFL delivery.

See my post above. As an alternative, you can use the cards I reference from handgunlaw.us No Guns = No $$$

I believe "handgunlaw.us" has a perfect cutout sticker for merchants that do not honor our right to carry by imposing these signs No Guns = No $$$ BTW, they also state that NJ No gun signs "do" have the force of law... Be careful!

A question, though. Do "No Gun" signs in NJ now carry the force of law? That's one of the biggest issues in Florida, Currently, they do not in FL but if we get "constitutional carry" in FL (especially if it implies "open carry" (currently, the proposed FL HB 543 does not)), various retail / tourist commerce associations (like "The Rodent/FRF") will scream bloody murder until it's included. thereby rendering all forms of carry useless/worthless. If we adopt "permitless carry" (as it is not true "constitutional carry") as currently written, then whatever all a merchant can do is eject us from the premises if we are caught carrying in their premises (Concealed is concealed, after all). Now, if we refuse to leave after being ordered to, that becomes "Armed Trespass," a felony. If signs acquire the force of law, we can be arrested on the spot and charged criminally, no matter if we do choose to leave the premises or not.

And Florida Takes the Silver Medal!!! I would consider Idaho, but the winter weather would keep me away. That, and I do enjoy being close enough to "the city life" but far enough away to not be "affected" by "the city life." Also, it helps to have a couple of airports within reasonable proximity and I can get places. Actually, I wish it hadn't. Now all the libs and progressives will flock here and try to infiltrate the legislature, getting gun control passed. More than the FL Legislature is, already "infiltrated." Anyway, I hope these new litigations will be fruitful for NJ. The ones based on Bruen. God knows y'all need some relief.

Fair enough.....

Former NJ Gov. Jim Florio, Dead at 85. I recall a political cartoon in the newspapers (I forget the artist), but it's a picture of Sadam Hussein. In the first frame, he's standing all Narcissistic in front of a mirror: And in the second frame, you see him totally pissed off and yelling in a phone....

Well.... except there's one "fleabag" in Starke at which I'd never stay.... (i.e. where the Execution Chambers are located)....

First of all, I'm so sorry for the loss of your son. Parents should never have to bury/cremate their children. I know FL had some issues historically with Narcs and with those "prescription factories," but the state has cracked down on that. Now, yes, Fentanyl is a different problem since almost all the traffic in it is illegal. It should never be prescribed for home use and is really only valid for hospital/surgical settings. I hope they do fix that quickly. Yes, hire more Border Patrol agents. I guess I've had luck with the people with which I've dealt in FL. My original realtor was great and the house was in pretty good shape for one 13 years old (built in 2003). I just had my roof re-done and my HVAC replaced, both for "relatively" reasonable prices and the work was total quality for both. It had to be in order to pass county inspection rules. There have been some merchants I've not done business with as I did not get good vibes from them, so I am being careful. I still would prefer FL over PA or any place north of I-10, due to the weather, primarily and the ability to go diving, etc.

They already do that, to an extent. Amtrak does not allow the carrying on of firearms unless you are Amtrak Police. And they only allow firearms to be "checked" on long distance trains where there's a baggage car with a secure cage. Sadly, that knocks out the "Auto Train" as there's no "baggage car." You may not see a sign on their premises but it's definitely in their regs on the website. And, just like airlines, all baggage is subject to search by dogs, etc. I believe the same applies to bus lines, and other forms of transportation, even if it's not always enforced. I think it's more enforced on airplanes as that's an easier target to hit. I have seen it enforced on the Auto Train. On occasion, they'll have the dogs do a quick sniff search of the cars before they're loaded onto the containers. They'll also bring the dog into the terminal at times (officially to give the dog a break from the heat) but unofficially to sniff people's carry on baggage.

What did you mean by that? Just to be clear, what I was stating is that, given the way things are, currently, if Constitutional Carry were to be passed in FL today, the "Rodent/FRF" would insist that no gun signs acquire the force/weight of law, where they currently do not. But, even without the force/weight of law, the signs at least give you the merchant's position on the matter. The only thing the merchant can do without force of law is order you to leave if you are caught carrying (either concealed or open). If you refuse to leave, it becomes a crime (armed trespass - A felony). With Force/weight of law, the fact that you carried in the establishment, on its own, creates a crime, regardless of whether you leave or not.

Yah, I didn't think NJ would give up so easily....
