NJ Bounty Hunters

Anyone here a bounty hunter..

 

I seen on the State Police website about the bounty hunter license, and it was interesting. I wonder if you are allowed to carry, but I guess considering your either retired or have had at least 5 years in law enforcement you would be able to carry regardless.

 

But seems to pay pretty good, up to 50k per apprehension. wow...

The retired officer permit requires a minimum of 15 years of service for a carry permit, or a minimum of four years if retiring due to disability. Merely serving on a police dept for five years does not necessarily get you a carry permit.

 

To be licensed as a bounty hunter, you have to have a minimum of five years in law enforcement. That license does not automatically grant a right to carry; you need a separate carry permit to do that, under the justifiable need standard.

 

The bounty hunter license requirement is fairly new (only about four years old). Prior to that, anyone could say they were bounty hunters; it all depended on whether the bail bondsmen wanted to hire them. Part of the reason for the change was that many "schools" were teaching bounty hunter courses with no standards or oversight. At least one school, who convinced their students that their certificates were legally valid, taught that it was legal to force their way into homes and/or assault people who were suspected of hiding bail jumpers. There was also at least one incident where bounty hunters apprehended the wrong person and were later charged with kidnapping.

 

I remember just before this law went into effect, I was at the Willowbrook mall and saw a guy wearing a bail agent shirt. He looked about 18 (if that), and was also wearing a utility belt with handcuffs and an expandable baton. Of course, he was only at the mall to strut around and make himself look like a tough guy.

why the hell would you have to be a cop for five years to be a bounty hunter? Im sure this is just another dumb a** jersey law. Im sure the DOG was not a cop.

 

 

And if you had seen firsthand some of the Serial ASSHATTERY these Morons have accomplished bothe here and in other states... The Kidnapping and Dumping of the Victim once they realized they had the wrong woman, and several Deaths, with ZERO accountability on the part of the Bounty Hunters...yeah i dont see this as a BAD thing. I've had them in the past kick the wrong doors, grab the wrong people, and do things that as a COP would land me in jail..only to have a complete walk beacuse of a SCOTUS decision that dates back to the early 19th century.

I am not saying they should not require training and background checks. But being an ex leo does not necessarily mean they can do it better.

    • We never let then inside.  Last re-evaluation was 6-7 years ago, wife politely told him that he was welcome to look around the property and he could look in the windows. He saw two white resin chairs in the basement and told her that this constituted a finished basement. And everything in the basement is bare concrete/ cinder block, and mechanical systems. Nothing finished about it. Ultimately he relented and I'm sure that was a ploy to coerce us to allow him in
    • I use an Alien Gear cloak tuck (IWB) with my Shield.  Neoprene back - in the summer it does feel warm but doesn't rub or chafe.   https://aliengearholsters.com/ruger-lcp-iwb-holster.html Could also go with the shapeshift as it has multiple options - OWB/IWB, Appendix... https://aliengearholsters.com/ruger-lcp-shapeshift-modular-holster-system.html
    • The  12-1 compression ratio L88 is long gone. This is GM's updated version. it might be  pump gas 10-1 engine The L88 was a aluminum head  cast iron block engine with a nasty solid lifter cam. the  ZL1 was a all aluminum  12 or 13-1 compression ratio engine with the best forged internal parts at the time and had a even nastier solid lifter cam 
    • I like my regular carry holster.  OWB leather with belt slots.  I've been carrying for over a year and it was comfortable and I hardly even noticed it.  I carry (usually) a Ruger LCP .380 - light, convenient, tiny. But...today I ended up taking it off an leaving it home after a few hours. I cut down a big maple tree a few days ago and I spent 3/4 of today loading and unloading firewood into the back of my truck and a trailer.  It was a warm day, I was dirty, tired, sweaty, and my holster was rubbing against my side.  The leather and exposed metal snap was no longer comfortable. I'm thinking about adding a layer of something to that part of the holster to soften the contact.  Anything insulating will make it worse.  I don't want a sweaty, hotter holster against my skin.  I'm imagining something thin, breathable, that won't absorb sweat, and softer than leather, metal snaps, and rivets.   But I have no idea what would work. I'm hoping somebody else has already figured this out and I can just do what they did. Any suggestions appreciated.
    • Check the primers on the ammo you didn't shoot yet. Are they fully seated? If the primer is not just below flush with the back of the case, the first hit can seat it better then the second hit ignites it.
