Don't jump the gun. Short, precious read. http://blog.uslawshield.com/dont-jump-the-gun/

Dont make yourself vulnerable . A few years back I travelled on Rt 95. Late at night I stopped at a well lit gas station in GA. IT WAS DESERTED. While filling up, out of nowhere a young guy showed up on foot and asked me if I have a few bucks to spare. After " sorry no" he continued to walk towards me insisting. I put my left hand out as in STOP and I told him not to come any closer while my right hand was in a ready to draw position. Immediately he acknowledged the threat and retreated with " sorry, never mind"

For one to poses a hand gun in NJ you MUST HAVE a permit to carry This part is many times forgotten or overlooked. Only exceptions to this law allows you to have a hand gun in your state. Whats my point and where Im going with this? No idea

What you consider justifiable need is not what the State of NJ consider it

Shot gun, rifle, BB gun. No handgun

well thats what I meant, You only can take possession of the gun in your state. Come to Fl and buy a gun at a gun dealer, or PA. It wont happen .( you can buy it but cannot take possession of it) My theory was that once I had the weapon it has to arrive to NJ by Interstate travel in order for my CCW to be recognized in NJ. It might be wrong as others pointed out. I wish you good luck, not in a sarcastic way, with getting your CCw in NJ or an outside one that NJ will recognize it.

Guns dont make one invincible and sometimes the security it means to deliver might be a false one. Three years ago I traveled to Birmingham from one of my trips. I stopped at a motel and I saw lots of bass boats in the parking lot. I assumed there was a fishing tournament near by. A few days later I saw in the news that a guy staying in there heard a noise during the night. He got his gun and went outside to investigate. He was mortally shot in the head . I have never found out if the criminal was ever caught.

Thanks for that explanation, but where does it say you cannot carry a gun in a School zone THE GUN-FREE SCHOOL ZONES ACTThe Gun-Free School Zones Act (GFSZA) prohibits any person from knowingly possessing a firearm that has moved in or otherwise affects interstate or foreign commerce at a place the individual knows, or has reasonable cause to believe, is a school zone.1 It sounds gibberish to me. In FL dont bring a gun to school and dont worry about it. Nobody is going to make any detour from their travel just because there is a school somewhere within 1000 ft of the road, At least thats what I do.

There are other threads dealing with this issue. I dont think so. You only can buy your gun in NJ as everyone can buy their guns ONLY in their home state. The gun has to arrive in NJ by interstate transportation to fall under this law. Yours does not. The bill is not made to force any state to issue more permits but to allow those that have it to bring their guns along.

Thats not what the bill means. It means any state's permit shall be honored in NJ (If it allows conceal carry, which it does) and THEN the person has to adhere to NJ restrictions. Lets say NJ says you cannot take your gun in movie theatre or other restrictions. An outsider has to carry his gun just as a NJ guy with permit to carry would. The idea is just like an out of state driving license.

Never heard of 1000ft rule and I dont think there is one. At least national law. As a matter of fact there are quite of few Universities that allow conceal carry on their property.

I think you will find this sad story interesting. Like I said I belong to a few motorcycle forums. One of them is GL1800 ( the Honda we ride is 1800 cc 6 cylinder.) We have a few meet and great over the years and in occasions other non Honda riders join in . Passed summer my wife and I were starting our country tour when the GL1800 group organized a meet and greet . A nice guy, 67 y/o i think attended the meeting, on his Harley Electra Glide. I dont think I ever met him. On his way home he stopped for the night in a motel. He told his wife that he is going to call her in the AM before leaving the hotel. The call never came and the wife called the police. Everything including his wallet and the bike's key was left behind at the motel but the bike and the guy had vanished. On the end the cops solved the mystery. In the middle of the night the guy was awoken by two guys on a pickup truck trying to load his $40,000. bike in the trailer behind the pickup truck. He jumped in the trailer trying to save his Harley but the guys drove away, stopped in a cotton field and beat him to death Whats my point, before someone ask. 1)The best thing the guy could have done is to call the cops and give them a description of the truck regardless if he had a gun or not 2) If he decided to jump in the trailer a gun could have saved his life. No Danno we have no thicker skin just as you dont want to be called a thug just because you like guns. Peace

Am I blind or there is no FL in this chart?

I just wanted to relate you some of of my experiences but some of you only got the misspelling mistake and made fun of it. In ALL the bike forum thats a no-no. People in there are harsh on the ones making any fun of a member. If the trend continues I'm out of here as I find plenty of people to be nasty to me in road traffic .

You forgot to post your location Danno ?

The point is : its good to be able to carry a gun when you are in uncertain situations. Sorry that I assumed you would understand that.

I have 4 large live oak in by backyard. Today I bought a mulcher shreader. I took sample dirt to Department of Agriculture and they said my soil is alkaline. The mulched leaves will bring it to normal

Florida and many other states you dont have to notify the cop you're carrying. It might be a good idea sometime. It never happened but if my gun is in the glove compartment and I get stopped I will inform the officer before reaching in there. ( you dont even need a CCW to have a loaded gun in your glove compartment)

I buy only guns that have a safety lever and carry the gun with one in the chamber and safety on. I train to release the safety and then shoot. Many experts dont agree with that but that's their problem

I decided to buy an used leaves and brush chipper and I found one in a Craig list add about 40 minutes from my house in Lake Mary FL. I know the general area as being desolated with farms and houses far in between. The machine was described as almost new for just $120.00 I called the guy up and he said I could be there in about an hour. In occasions like this Im very cautious. Craig List had a lot of crime done by attracting people with a low price or the crook coming to your place to see your goods. Monroe Twp recognizes that people could endanger themselves in such events and established a parking lot under video surveillance. So my wife and I, both packing, went in there. I told her not to get out of the car and after pulling in the back of the house as I was asked over the phone I parked the SUV and trailer a bit away from the storage shed and I met the guy at the door. The deal went fine and the owner showed us a great collection of antics. We are not paranoid regarding crime but for sure dont want a hunter to go pissing in the woods and find our bones.

LOL. Great

I googled "NJ gun forums" and this site came out. I double checked since it was too much of a coinkie dinkie but there it was "New Jersey Gun Forums"

Thank you guys. By trade Im an electrical contractor and have done jobs from Somers point to Franklin ( Rt 23) and all in between for over 30 years. Its good to be here and be familiar with your places. Thanks again.

A conceal carry permit is not for a specific gun in Florida, its for any and all hand guns

Thank you Jack. I belong to 3 motorcycle forums and some times we organize " ride and shoot" We go to a sponsors place and organize range target shooting. When I spoke to the State Police in NJ I was told the bikers are welcome in NJ to come and shoot at the range. The problem as I see it is that they cannot sleep in NJ. NOBODY EVEN CONSIDER COMING TO NJ WITH A GUN The state is avoided like a plague when it comes to guns. Of course if you read "NJ news" you see crime with a gun every day. As I explained above, I bought and own my guns legally. I looked a lot at NJ legislature and its a total failure. I have a few rental houses and a business in NJ. I can have my gun legally at any of my properties but there is no way to transport them in there legally. You only can take the gun from the house to the place of business or range. Also I cannot take them with me on a bus or airplane. The feds only cover car transportation Of course you can do that in all gun friendly states. Go figure
