Went to my local NJSP barracks to apply for a CCW last summer.  I am active NJ Air National Guard, qual'd on an M-9 and hold a military CCW.  I walked in after Chattanooga with an official homeland security memo from the HQ NJ National Guard warning of potential home grown extremism against members of the military.  I had a completed application, a letter of need, copies of my military weapon qual, copy of my military CCW, etc... walked in there in uniform and I was literally laughed at.  I was told I'd never get approved.  When I asked the trooper behind the counter why they get to carry off duty, he told me it was to defend themselves from gang members because they're police officers.  I said, OK, when was the last time one of your guys here was attacked by a gang member around here.  He couldn't answer me of course.  I then asked him what the difference between that and the potential for extremism against military members was and he continued with his opinion that I didn't have specific threats against me and no justifiable need.

 

When I asked my TAG about this, he had mentioned they were talking about it at the state level.  Unfortunately, I don't think it's going anywhere.  This state sucks.  I'm still going on 8 months since I applied for a purchase permit with the SP and haven't gotten back yet.  It was issued at 5 months, never got a call it was ready, picked it up 2 months after it was issued, went back to get it extended, they took it back to send to Trenton for an extension and it's been two months since with no calls.

 

I saw we just flood the Supreme Court with CCW requests.  The problem is getting past the Chiefs at the local PD's or SP barracks.  They have to process the paperwork and a lot of them don't want to be bothered.

^^^ NJ2AS is really getting active with publishing video of such encounters. I say do the same again with video recording and give a copy over to NJ2AS to publish it. Active military, qualified, ISIS threat, walks into NJSP for NJ CCW only to be laughed at for an otherwise serious situation.

Yes. On my AF 523 - Authorization to Bear Arms, I have a note on the back that says, M-9 Concealed. I am aircrew and we are supposed to carry concealed for anti-hijacking purposes during certain PAX hauling missions. Not all mil members are allowed to conceal carry.

I am currently disturbed by this topic because i'm reading articles stating the root of ISIS was Camp Bucca in 08 which is when and where i was there.  There is a picture of me and my name and rank at the time which is also tied to my unit and state so i am interested in this as well/

There was talk several pages back about leadership not wanting to take responsibility for pushing this up the chain. I had heard the unit JAG recommended they not get involved so it never went anywhere. If we do anything, we'll have to take matters into our own hands. The problem is there are plenty of other anti-gun issues in this state to deal with given the responsibilities of carrying a concealed weapon here.

Call the FIU (Firearms Investigation Unit) in West Trenton. Ask to speak to the Captain in charge of the FIU guys that do the background checks. Tell him your story. Don't take "no" for an answer. If that doesn't get you an answer, considering writing your State rep. and senator.

The NJSP do not even trust their own retired officers. They won't qualify them for carry permits. Why would they consider anyone else having one?

Seems if you're current or retired Military Police you can carry in all 50 states based on LEOSA

      The Tax Man Commeth

      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

      Softer Holster

      By maintenanceguy · Posted

      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.

      Light primer strikes

      By Mr.Stu · Posted

      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.
