Moving back to NJ from CA

Recommended Posts

After a 5 year stent in California I'm moving back to NJ Feb 1st. I was looking for a NJ gun forum that I used to post on and stumbled on this one instead. Seems like a good place to catch up on all the new laws that have poped up since I left. Hope to learn and contribute.

Welcome back. From Commiefornia to Commie NJ.

 

I thinks its alot better in NJ than CA for guns? Yes?

 

Thanks! I'd have to disagree regarding NJ being better for gun owners. California's liberal gun grabbing population is mostly centered around a few cities (San Fran, Oakland, LA, etc). Once you get even a little ways outside of the urban areas it actually very pro 2A (the people i mean not the laws). If nothing else there is no FID here and there are a ton of good ranges to shoot at. Buying a gun out hear is loads easier than in NJ and at least there's an inkling of hope when you fill out your CCW paperwork out here. I dont remember that being the case in NJ. Mind you i left in 07.

Welcome back, proceed to increase the magazine capacity of your firearms from 10 to 15. Also, dump the bullet buttons, flash hiders, etc. at the door on your way in. :)

 

Ha! so you know about the bullet button? More of an inconvenience than anything else. Never seen anyone check to see if one was operational. Plenty of 15's and the likes where I shoot and they swap mags pretty quick. I think some people just glue them on. Funny you mention about 15 round cap. I had to dump a bunch of G21 mags with a Leo friend of mine when i left NJ. Wonder if he is still around.

 

Thanks for the welcome.

Welcome to the forum and back the the PR of NJ, I did the same think about 2 years ago when I moved back from Kali to NJ, been kicking myself for a while now. Not sure what forum you were on before but you found the best one for NJ gun owners.

 

Thanks! Wish I could stay but the call of the dollar is pulling me back.

I moved back to NJ from CA 6 years ago and still wished I was back there. Nothing compares to the positive attitude Californians have. Good luck back here. We should plan a Denny's meet one day :)

My biggest concern at this point about the move back is going through withdrawal while I wait for my FID. I normally keep 240 rounds of each caliber I own on hand (200 target and 40 SD). With the 11 pound per passenger limit on the plane I'll only be able to get maybe 12 boxes between our checked baggage. I'll shoot that up in no time.

You could alwasy ship the ammo via FedEx or UPS from Kali to NJ just before you fly to the PR of NJ..

I was mulling that over. UPS was working out to around 1.25 a pound. Not all that bad. I was actually about to start researching receiving it on the other end though. I mean its not like I'm buying it, I would just be shipping it between places I lawfully possess it right? I might give that a try unless i dig up any horror stories.

    • 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.
