This seriously makes me want to go to law school and become an attorney just to represent legal firearms owners and fight for our rights in NJ. There seems to be way more demand than supply, here!

My brother used Edward Zohn for his FID appeal.

In Practice Areas -> Criminal Law:

Firearms: In New Jersey, all of the basic firearms statutes are in the Criminal Code, which is a good indicator of the governmental bias against gun owners. Prosecutors and police never give up the chance to gain title to or destroy an individual's firearms, as well as prevent an individual form purchasing firearms in the future, no matter how specious the claim. They do it because they can - until they are stopped. We have extensive experience in representing gun owners with their legal concerns, which can be classified into three major areas: permit appeals (denials of permit applications or revocation of current permits); firearms seizures and confiscations (usually but not always as a result of domestic violence restraining orders) and possessory offenses ("assault firearms" and "high capacity magazines," etc.). We have also represented firearms organizations in legal actions against municipalities. It is very important with these types of cases to retain an attorney who has both an interest and experience in defending your firearms rights.

Dan Schmutter. He is currently handling ANJRPC's OGAM case.

 

So in other words, he's about as useful as an ashtray on a motorcycle.

 

From what I have seen, the case is being handled skillfully so far. Did something happen that I am not aware of?

I've talked to him on two or three issues I thought I needed a lawyer on, and he called me back personally, the same day, and was very straightforward and didn't seem to want to grab my money before he told me what to do.

Its tough, attorneys practice where the money is and there isnt a lot of cash in gun rights. I think thats why many attorneys do some gun work as an off shoot of criminal work.

 

I think the issue on gun rights law is that it takes so much time up that it is hard to do your regular work. Individual gun work isnt that bad because it is limited in time and you get paid by someone.

Do you know how much that cost him?

 

Not cheap unfortunately. I think it was around 5K. I dont know how that brakes down or how much was for what (research, correspondence, hours worked etc.)

Do you think that will change now that RKBA is a civil right?

I think it'll just take a case that's strong enough to get the backing of powerful organizations. Then money really isn't that much of a headache. If anyone wants to question a lawyer about a civil action lawsuit, count me in.. I think a few orgs are already talking about it.

    • 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.
