^ I like your analogy and thought about it for a moment, I guess the difference for me is we have a right to bear arms and not a right to go swimming. Never the less though, good point.

Here's an idea ... can you find a local Echo dealer that has the appropriate charger? Maybe they will let you stop in for a quick fix?

Interesting take on this from an insider:

Saw this story this morning too, as it's locally relevant. I don't think it's possible for the jet to have crashed in the area they reference w/o any civilians noticing. Maybe it flew out over the ocean? Either way, wouldn't ATC have had it on radar? The military does not track their own aircraft? Doesn't make any sense ... maybe a UFO took it?

1 hour ago, Xtors said:Seems to me they have now specified exactly what is meant by substantially equivalent and if you didn't shoot an HCQ with holster draw (e.g., went to Shooters) then you have to do it again. To whit:
Substantially Equivalent Courses. An individual who completed a course of fire prior to the issuance of the CCARE Protocol is deemed to have satisfied N.J.S.A. 2C:58-4(g)(2) if and only if the prior course include each of the following:
-
A minimum of 50 scored rounds per participant.
-
Minimum passage score of 80% using an FBI type Q target.
-
At least 10 rounds must be from the 15, 10, 7, 5, and 3 yard lines each. If fewer than 10 rounds were fired from those distances, the remaining rounds must have been fired from farther distances.
-
The participant must demonstrate safe holstering and unholstering during the shooting course, which must include safely drawing the weapon from a secured holster before firing at each of the required distances and re- holstering after completing the round.
-
The participant must demonstrate proficient and safe reloading during the shooting course.
No substantially similar courses completed after the CCARE Protocol is issued will be accepted.
FWIW this is essentially what is required by South Carolina.

LEE
in NJ Prepared
On 9/8/2023 at 12:44 PM, Barms said:Models have Lee project to reach top wind speed of 205 mph.. It will be the highest reading of any storm ever in the Atlantic
The NHC shows it staying below 137 knots.
https://www.cyclocane.com/lee-storm-tracker/
QuoteMaximum sustained winds remain near 120 mph (195 km/h) with higher gusts. Lee is a category 3 hurricane on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale. Some strengthening is forecast over the next day or so, followed by gradual weakening.
...
As mentioned above, fluctuations in strength are likely in the short term due to eyewall replacement cycles, but there is an opportunity for some strengthening during that time since the system is expected to remain over very warm waters and in relatively low wind shear conditions. Beyond a couple of days, however, progressively cooler waters and a notable increase in shear should cause Lee to gradually weaken. Although the weakening is forecast later in the week, Lee is expected to significantly increase in size and hazards will extend well away from the center of the storm by the end of the forecast period.

LEE
in NJ Prepared
I've been keeping an eye on this the past couple of days too. My expectation is it turns north.

The obvious solution here is that NJ needs to institute a "firing permit" making it illegal to press the trigger w/o first obtaining a NJ Permit to Fire. Then they will know with certainty who fired every shot. They can use the existing P2P process - background check, references, and a fee. We need more "common sense" gun laws, right?

The example you gave has nothing to do with that, the shooters actions were to stop something else.

I believe that would be considered deadly force in ALL places.

I tend to ignore forecasts and instead monitor the radar. You can still have storms pop up, but it's been the most accurate way for me to get an idea of what's going to happen in the next 30 mins or so.

The Second Amendment:
QuoteA well regulated Militia being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.
So there are 2 distinct groups called out here (the comma matters):
- A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state,
- the right of the people to keep and bear arms
The training laws/rules in question have nothing to do with group 1, they are all about group 2 as they pertain to what requirements "the people" have to adhere to in order to bear arms. This has nothing to do with militias.
Then the final clause comes in: "shall not be infringed". For our purposes in discussing the NJ CWP requirements:
"the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed" is all that matters.

I would not say that a specific holster will prevent an UID - it's only just one factor to help minimize the risk of an UID.

That's not at all what I got out of the video.

Which is specifically what they recommended against in the video.

I initially bought it to hear Howard Stern, but have not been a daily listener since he went off the deep end. These days, I mostly listen to the comedy stations and "my music."
Similar story, got it in 2006 for Howard, now i can't stand him.
I no longer listen to traditional broadcast radio. I find Sirius great for tons of music with no commercials, comedy radio on road trips, and sports. I mostly listen to the ESPN college radio channel since I dumped pro sports.

IIRC, the "old" law didn't specify open vs concealed, it was simply a carry permit. I believe that has now changed with the new law and only concealed is permitted.

That's not how it works, it must be brought to them.
Generally there has to be an action/case brought by some party, and there are very specific circumstances whereby something can just go direct to SCOTUS (original jurisdiction). But either way, it needs to be initiated outside SCOTUS, they will never act "on their own".
