What does s1737 mean. Doesn't make sense to me

What does s1737 mean. Doesn't make sense to me

 

It means that if you have a firearm that falls under NJ's AWB of the early 90's, you get a chance to unload it free and clear within a window of two years.

 

It seems to me that if you currently own NJ compliant semi auto's, this bill means diddly squat.

It's good if you, say inherit some firearms while cleaning out a parent's home that you didn't know they possessed. Doesn't apply to me personally, but I'm sure it happens.

I think 1737 is meant to as a safety valve for gun owners should currently legal weapons be reclassified as assault weapons, and be subject to confiscation. Personally I'd just lawfully transport them to a lockup in another state.

That's sneaky......

 

.....but since NJ is not a NFA State, then this would make sense........from the State's point of view anyway.

 

But here's the problem, since NJ is not an NFA State, there is no way to 'legally and lawfully' transport them for lockup in another state....in that other state, said gun would be illegal.

 

Easiest thing to do would be to remove the bolt, and give it to a family member for safe keeping.........

S1737 needs to be moved to the FIGHT section.

I read the first (S104) right to carry bill. Anyone who has read through all of the carry bills, what is the difference in the language between them. If no one has, I will try to read them tonight, but I have to admit, I am no lawyer, just a computer geek with an opinion

[Foyt20 0]

Well, after doing my own research, the only difference I can find is that S104 is good for 2 years after issuance, with renewal every 2 years where S269 is good for 5 years.

 

Either way, AWESOME! Maybe I should get a roll of stamps tomorrow .

S104 is amended to be for 5 years instead of just 2. If it's in [brackets] it's a proposed deletion, whereas if it's underlined it is a proposed addition to the statute.

 

All permits to carry handguns shall expire [2] 5 years from the

22 date of issuance [or, in the case of an employee of an armored car

23 company, upon termination of his employment by the company

24 occurring prior thereto whichever is earlier in time,] and they may

25 thereafter be renewed every [2] 5 years in the same manner and

26 subject to the same conditions as in the case of original

27 applications.

 

It appears S104 refers to the bill as "Citizens' Protection and Crime Reduction Act of

2004,"

 

S269 just refers to it as "Citizens' Protection and Crime Reduction Act"

Oh sorry about that. I got my punctuation wrong

 

Next question, how often do these ccw laws come up in Senate or Assembly? Is this an annual thing, or a new development?

i've seen them at least the last few years .(about as long as i have been active in the hobby) they never go anywhere. wont even be discussed in committee

[ChrisJM981 924]

It's the negative ones I worry about and keep an eye out for.

[MrSurfboard 1]

Any bill that is more restrictive will pass. any one that is less restrictive will fail.

Wait did I read that they want to make airsoft toys a firearm? I hope none of your kids have plastic bb hollowpoints

That's exactly what it says. You'd need a FPID to buy a rifle, and Pistol Purchase Permit for a handgun.
