NJ2AS MEETING IN BELLEVILLE ON WED. MAY 23, 2012

[Frank Jack Fiamingo 58]

Operation Establish Compliance continues to gain ground. Our attorney, Daniel Schmutter will discuss the current and future status of our signature campaign. The meeting will be held this Wednesday May 23, 2012 at Gun For Hire Training Center on 75 Rutgers Street in Belleville, NJ at 7:30PM. At this point most of the Police Departments in Monmouth County have agreed to comply with the prohibition against additional forms. The only remaining town is Long Branch and we are working on it as we speak. If you know of any towns in Monmouth County that are still not in compliance with the state firearms statutes with regard to additional forms, please let us know and we will address it.

 

We are moving on to Ocean County. We believe that we can move much more quickly than we have been able to in the past due to improved techniques. In the meantime, please be sure to let us know about infractions in your community so that we can address them in the near future. You can report infractions to us at [email protected]. Thank you for your past help. I hope that you will all continue to participate in this successful program. Here is a partial list of the towns that have agreed to discontinue their use of these additional forms. More towns are being added regularly:

 

Egg Harbor Township

West Long Branch

Hopatcong

Asbury Park

Manalapan

Bayonne

 

We are involved in talks with Newark, NJ and have begun our investigation of Jersey City. Although we don't expect complete success over night, rest assured that we are working continuously on this and other procedural problems with the processing of firearms ID cards and handgun purchase permits. The Association of New Jersey Rifle and Pistol clubs is also working on resolving some of these issues. Together with other 2A/RKBA organizations, we expect to increase the pressure on NJ authorities to reverse their suppression of our legitimate rights. Your help, participation and financial support is needed. If you are not already a member of the NJ2AS and the ANJRPC, please consider joining one or both. Become part of the solution. The greater the number of firearms owners we represent, the more the three branches of our state government will have to listen to our legitimate complaints.

 

Please join us for the meeting this Wednesday. Please visit our website at www.nj2as.com for a list of upcoming events. Bob Viden will be speaking at June's meeting in Winslow, NJ. Dennis Malloy of the Dennis & Judy show on NJ101.5 will be appearing at our meeting in Toms River in July and Assemblywoman Alison McHose is scheduled to address the group at our August meeting in Belleville. As you can see, we are making a sincere attempt to rotate our meetings throughout New Jersey in an effort to address all your questions and concerns. As we continue to grow, we will try to reach out to more areas throughout the state. We have grown from the 10 original founders who started the N J2AS in July of 2010 to thousands of members and supporters in less than two years. We are making a difference, but we can do more with your help.

 

Thank you,

I plan to be there. Who else from NJGF is going?

[Socom 19]

I shall attend!

[HINCHMAN 4]

I have nothing but GOOD things to say about Dan Schmutter...one of the smartest legal minds in NJ, possibly nationwide.

[NorthernYankee 94]

Sorry too far to travel for me...When are you coming back down to Winslow?

[Krdshrk 3,877]

I'll be at the meeting.

[Frank Jack Fiamingo 58]

We will be in Winslow next month on June 13. I will post the information within the next few days. Those who CAN make it should consider coming tonight. Dan has a lot of up to date pertinent information.

Good meeting last night! Nice attendance. I had been to a meeting in Belleville a few months ago, and it seemed like there were more than twice as many people at this one. The room was completely packed.

 

Dan Schmutter was suprisingly interesting. I expected a presentation on 2A laws to be somewhat dry, but he kept it engaging. There was a good review of Constitutional law as it applies within a Second Amendment framework.

 

Sorry I had to slip out just before the end, but I wanted to catch a least a little of the hockey game, which turned out to be a thriller.
