I'm sure that not all Superior Court staff are like that, but I'm pretty certain there are a good number of people like that in there (I've occasionally spoken to one or another who meets that description on other issues). Whether or not I prefaced my letter with a phone call would depend on my analysis of the specific circumstances. I fully intend to be civil and polite (as is deserved by anyone I need to deal with who hasn't overtly tried to screw me), but I have no intention of kissing ass. These are public empoyees with a job to do we are discussing, not candidates for sainthood. ADDED: I also might ask that since there is no longer any justification for the court to do any more than rubber-stamp approve an application that has been previously approved, what can possibly take an extended period of time? The Police Department gets 60 days and the Court gets 30 days. So if I was an overworked and moderately paid Judge trying to do the right thing and the applicant pestering me was within 90 days of the application being complete I would ask myself: “This job is tough enough as is, why is this person giving me a hard time.” Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
always_an_eagle 165 Posted September 8, 2022 Update on my CCW. It is somewhere in the Somerset County Court systems. I keep calling the investigator for my PD but all I get is the voicemail.When I usually apply for my pistol permits, I am approved so I don't see an issue with the PD. From what I been hearing on r/NJguns from other somerset county redditers and on the Somerset County CCW facebook group, the hold up is in the courts. Apparently, they are awaiting guidance from the state, specific guidiance I am not so sure. It seems to me that other counties have figured out what to do. I tried to call the somerset county criminal case management clerk Rhonda Scott but went to her voicemail. I just hope there is no additonal restrictions like Ocean and Monmouth county is doing. It looks like Somerset county is anti ccw. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
marlintag 223 Posted September 8, 2022 Another update in Middlesex County Apologies for the long email and punctuation errors but, this was written in haste as I'm kind of busy at the moment. Those in Middlesex County and possibly other counties will want to take what I write note for note. I missed a phone call that appeared as "NJ Judiciary" in the inbound phone call log. I naturally assumed this was the Superior Court regarding my missing application, so I called them back. The individual who picked up was not the correct contact, so they transferred me to same individual i spoke to on Friday regarding my missing application. Before I was transferred though, the person who initially picked up the phone mumbled something under their breath which to me sounded like "it doesn't matter ", I could be entirely wrong, but it is hard to make out garbled messages correctly. The person I spoke to regarding my application stated the following. 1. My application was received today in the court even though my PD told me they shipped it out weeks ago! 2. There have been no carry applications signed off by the judge in Middlesex County. 3. When it's ready for I pick up I will receive a phone call. (with the understanding that the phone call would come from the court) So, what I have learned from this experience? Well, it doesn't take weeks in transit to send a manilla envelope a few miles to New Brunswick using USPS or any other carrier! The PD's are "fudging" the dates in which your applications are sent, or the applications sent are in some dark vault deep within the bowels of court for weeks before being logged in by court personnel!!! Secondly, the judge has not signed off any applications so even if your money order is cashed it won't matter without a judge's signature. Thirdly, I believe once Middlesex starts issuing permits, we will likely have to pick up our permits from the courthouse and not the PD. Based on my conversation with the clerk, it does sound like they are at least processing the applications, but the issue remains that the assignment judge is not signing off on them. I really wish that Strikeforce would take note of what's happening in Middlesex County, at some point action will need to be taken. The clock is now ticking on my application....

It looks like Somerset county is anti ccw. I am wondering who is providing the guidance to the counties...There are 3 branches (obviously :-)), and I'm just guessing that it could only come from the legislative branch via law when they are in session, and it always takes a long time...Then there is the AG and the State Troopers in the executive branch. I would guess the standards and proposed codes concerning carry would come from them...The Judicial branch (as far as I know) doesn't have the authority to make laws, so I believe Monmouth and Ocean Judges are just pulling crap out of the air about the no-carry while driving, because if it was coming from the AG/Troopers it would (likely) be applied to all counties. And we see enough incidents in other counties that permits are not restricted which implies the driving restriction is not being applied universally. Well, I am glad the ANJRPC Task force is working this Carry while Driving issue. I think the two fore mention counties will be induced to stop the nonsense (or get sued).

JackDaWack 2,895 Posted September 8, 2022 So i just thought of something.... If the court places restrictions on your permit... and you violate them... what happens? Have you broken a law? Or would you be held in contempt of court? While a judge may place restrictions.. well not really.. but even if they do they don't appear to be legally binding.. I don't see any laws for violating said court order. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JackDaWack 2,895 Posted September 8, 2022 18 minutes ago, RadioGunner said: Contempt of court is what I was told. That's what I have figured... My second thought was the "driving/vehicle" restrictions name the statute by code.. which only applies to someone who doesn't have a permit to carry, or more specifically is going somewhere specific or hunting per section 2 as it's a listed exception and not a blanket requirement. Subsection 2 doesn't apply, therefor neither would the requirement to follow the transport law. So technically you would be following the court order even if you carried the gun on your hip while driving. 14 minutes ago, Mr.Stu said: If you are in possession of a handgun, and your permit expressly excludes that situation, I would imagine you would be charged with illegal possession of a firearm.

If the permit you obtained does not cover the situation you are in with your handgun, you might just as well not have a permit at all. I'm assuming you're not covered by the exemptions (to/from a range, etc.) in this theoretical situation. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Logically I agree. If you are carrying in your car with the restrictions it would be similar to carrying anywhere without a permit so it's a felony. You loose everything. But . . . How would the officer know? Will anyone tell him/her or volunteer the 4 page document? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm assuming you're not covered by the exemptions (to/from a range, etc.) in this theoretical situation. I could be wrong, but the law doesn't reference failure to comply with restrictions outside the statutory restrictions. If You did obtain a permit to carry, you have satisfied the statute... that is all it requires for statutory compliance. I'm asking because I don't know how the restrictions are applied, is the permit rendered to as invalid under the restrictions? If the vehicle restrictions is listed on the permit, it would seem to work in reverse. You would be required to put the handgun in the trunk. Lets say you drive to the food store... the statute listed on the permit for vehicle transport doesn't apply... g.All weapons being transported under paragraph (2) of subsection b., subsection e., or paragraph (1) or (3) of subsection f. of this section shall be carried unloaded and contained in a closed and fastened case, gunbox, securely tied package, or locked in the trunk of the automobile in which it is being transported, and in the course of travel shall include only such deviations as are reasonably necessary under the circumstances. if you are always headed to a gas station when asked... the transport law doesn't apply!!! Thus you are not restricted under the statute listed on the permit/order. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So instead load/unload in a parking lot and wait for someone to call 911 and possibly be arrested or shot. Basically if we're going to go along with any of this, you better only carry when you intend on walking to your destination. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If true, only violate the judge’s restrictions if you are okay with three hots and a cot and all that goes with a felony conviction. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
