I can only guess, and even an educated guess is merely supposition at this point.  But here goes:

When Rogers is granted CERT (we pray), and the Supremes vote on strict scrutiny to be the law of the land, it will do away with justifiable need, and possibly the entire scheme of how NJ outlaws all guns FIRST and then has exceptions & EXEMPTIONS where & when you won't be locked-up for possession & transportation.  The entire premise that guns start out completely ILLEGAL in the current 2C NJ Statutes, and therefore only exist in the hands of us serfs through the use and/or interpretation of those said statutes is blatantly UNCONSTITUTIONAL on its' face!  A HOUSE OF CARDS like no other :)   And I believe that's where Nappen gets his 70% figure.

Okay, I think.

So I can CCW an AR pistol if this goes right, right?

Sure, but why stop at ONE?  Why not just CCW one for EACH HAND, lol?

It will be a "Process".  One that we'll all have to ENDURE, and probably fight tooth & nail the entire way.  THE RIDE IS JUST STARTING...so BUCKLE-UP!

#50  "JUST LET THE EXPLOSION HAPPEN" IS THE KEY TO NOT ANTICIPATING RECOIL!

 

FIRING POINT PROCEDURES! NO SHAKIN' ALLOWED!
LEARN YOUR SEAR CAUSE IT'S PART OF YOUR GEAR!
by Black Wire Media Sunday May 26, 2019 www.cnjfo.com/join-us

Great example of why we tell our students, "JUST LET THE EXPLOSION HAPPEN" is shown in this fabulous training video. We'll add a little more so you can watch your own improvement, even while all alone at the range for practice. 1) Try having the RO or a friend load your mag(s) using Snap-Caps every-so-often. 2) Try using a penny or a dime on the slide when you dry-fire. If the gun doesn't move when the sights are perfectly aligned AS THE SEAR BREAKS you're ready to use live ammo. Goal setting helps too. Count how many cycles it takes to "JUST LET THE EXPLOSION HAPPEN" for each session. Recoil anticipation can be overcome through exercising the grey matter between your ears. Combine all of this knowledge with proper stance and your 10 yard gun can take out adversaries at 50 yards & beyond!

#54  4TH ANNIVERSARY OF CAROL BOWNE'S TRAGIC MURDER IN HER OWN DRIVEWAY!

 

NJ GOV. CODIFIED THE VERY LAW THAT KILLED HER!
CAROL BOWNE HOMICIDE: 4YRS LATER WE FIGHT ON!
by Black Wire Media Monday June 3, 2019 www.cnjfo.com

It didn't have to end this way! Carol Bowne applied for a gun purchaser's permit in April of 2015 AFTER receiving a Restraining Order of Protection (a piece of paper), and installing a CCTV surveillance system! 43 days later, 4 YEARS ago today, after pleading with the Berlin, NJ Police SEVERAL TIMES to issue her "permission slip", Bowne was stabbed to death in her own driveway by her estranged boyfriend as her brand new CCTV system captured it all! Then the Perp went home & hanged himself! How long will NJ have to wait to end #JustifiableNeed ? Join us or renew RIGHT NOW! Do it for Carol. Do it for a loved one trapped in the same situation! And pray in Carol's memory that our US Supreme Court read the amicus brief we're a party to and wants to hear the Rogers case so they can once & for all say to the world that NJ residents (and all US citizens) have a right of self-protection OUTSIDE THE HOME!

Continued prayers to Carol's family & friends. Know that we fight every day to overturn the unjust laws in NJ to give domestic violence victims a fighting chance at survival. Special thanks to Anthony Colandro from Gun For Hire Range and the Second Amendment Women Shooting Club - SAW and all the other interviewees for their powerful analysis & input in the making of this nearly 4 year old video.

#55  THE WELL ARMED WOMAN HOLDS NATIONAL #NOTME DAY IN HOPES OF EMPOWERING WOMEN!

 

THE WELL ARMED WOMAN HOLD NAT'L "NOT ME DAY"!
FLEMINGTON CHAPTER LADIES REFUSE TO BE VICTIMS!
by Black Wire Media Tuesday June 4, 2019 www.cnjfo.com/join-us

CNJFO member Kim Snyder, a NRA RSO and co-leader at The Well Armed Woman Flemington, NJ Chapter at Tactical Training Center Range in Flemington, NJ., proudly reports that approx. 15 women shot this inaugural "Not Me Day" event at TTC Saturday June 1st. Synder wore two hats, working the firing line as TTC's Range Safety Officer. TTC Range hosted their "Not Me Day" from 11:30-2pm, and women from all over took part in this empowering & hopefully annual event. The nationwide non-profit TWAW Shooting Chapters invited women across the country to head to a shooting range for #NotMe Day to stand in solidarity with women self-protectors and show the world they refuse to be a victim or to say #NeverAgain to ever being a victim. Each participant fired 3 rounds to symbolize: I am EMPOWERED, I am PREPARED, I WILL NOT be a VICTIM!

TWAW Chapter meetings at TTC Range are held on the 4th Wednesday evening of every month and you can visit prior to joining through the national website. 24 women are currently enrolled in the Flemington, NJ chapter with more wanting to join. Their Facebook page is: www.facebook.com/TWAWFlemingtonNJ/ and if you're not from the area you can join a chapter closer to you by visiting: https://twawshootingchapters.org/find-a-local-chapter/.

CNJFO proudly supports female empowerment through the use of firearms training and we encourage all readers to make sure your loved ones go visit a Well Armed Woman chapter nearest them. Currently TWAW has active NJ chapters in Flemington, Lakewood, Wayne and Randolph.

“Women are tired of being the prey of violent criminals and are doing what it takes to protect themselves and their loved ones” said Carrie Lightfoot, #NotMe Day Organizer and founder of The Well Armed Woman Shooting Chapters. “#NotMe Day is an opportunity for all women to join together and show the world that women refuse to be forever bound to the unequal battlefield of violence.”

Each participant fired three rounds to symbolize: I am empowered, I am prepared, I will not be a victim! Women were encouraged to fire their symbolic rounds at any time during the day on June 1st. Participants were encouraged to share their photos on all social media platforms with the hashtag #NotMe and #NeverAgain if they have been victims of violence in the past.

The Well Armed Woman Shooting Chapters is a 501c3 organization committed to providing women a comfortable and safe environment to learn and hone their firearm and self-protection skills. “This is a wonderful opportunity for all women to stand united as competent and courage’s self-protectors. I can’t wait to see thousands of empowered women, dressed in purple (the official uniform color--Ed) standing up together to say “NOT ME!” said Lightfoot.

Robert & his people are really great to deal with & always have been.  As a hand gun league chair (Police Pistol Competition--open to the PUBLIC!) for Old Bridge Rifle & Pistol Club it's been my distinct pleasure to do business with them for decades now.  FWIW Bob is the only person I went to see when CNJFO needed custom targets made!  They produced them with a Photo-Offset printing press and did a fantabulous job!  Our "Charlie-the-Perp" Targets are well received everywhere they're seen (and available mail-order at:  https://www.cnjfo.com/Store --shameless plug!).  Pew-Pew Plates donated (2) complete set-ups to us for a silent auction and CNJFO Treasurer Jack Pyle & I tested one set-up with several hand guns, Jack's AR & my M-1 Garand.  Glenn makes a QUALITY product!

#58  TONY SIMON OF THE 2ND IS FOR EVERYONE DIVERSITY SHOOT GETS INTERVIEWED BY NRA'S CAM EDWARDS!

TONY SIMON & ERIN PALETTE TAPED AT NRAAM FOR CAM & CO!
SIMON: BREAKING STEREOTYPES KEY TO SURVIVAL OF THE 2A!
by Black Wire Media Monday June 17, 2019 www.cnjfo.com/join-us

From Cam Edwards' NRA-TV studio on the floor of the NRA Annual Meeting (NRAAM), comes enlightening news on how groups such as The 2nd is For Everyone and Pink Pistols have come to the forefront of firearms education by BREAKING STEREOTYPES inferring that all gun owners are "redneck old white guys with some extra pounds on them". Barriers of race, religion, gender, sexual orientation and background are being brought down daily by getting these same folks to come and have fun at the range where dedicated volunteers (such as belong to CNJFO) provide their guns & time to train members of these heretofore non-gun owning demographics.

Simon, who first became politically active as a firearms owner after the Newtown, Ct. incident, shares some highlights of going to Central Jersey Rifle & Pistol Club's Old West league shoot "The Hole-in-the-Wall Gang" Cowboy Action Match and being warmly welcomed even though "brothers didn't make out well in that era".

Simon's demeanor is disarming for a big guy & totally from the heart, and it comes across plainly for all to see in this interview. He calls himself the #largestpoundforpoundfirearmsinstructorinAmerica and coined the phrase #2Aheavylifters addressing the crowd at the Recall Murphy march on Trenton a few months ago. Simon is a true leader and a fine example of a selfless 2A advocate. When Simon first dreamed of this "Diversity Shoot" idea of his, he approached Anthony Colandro of Gun For Hire for free training space & discount port rates to get these "forgotten first-timers" to the range. Colandro answered with, "How about THIS THURSDAY!".

The Coalition of New Jersey Firearm Owners proudly supports Simon's efforts and recently bestowed onto him our "Patriot's Pin" during a ceremony held immediately prior to last Friday's Diversity Shoot (as these gatherings are named). We'll be sure to share that story (since Colandro and other NJ notables received their Patriot Pins) as soon as it's available. In the meantime, please enjoy this interview, and if you can support Tony by making a donation to keep his trend-setting example afloat, we'd be sincerely grateful!

#59  CNJFO HONORS FIVE NJ 2A "HEAVY LIFTERS" DURING BRIEF CEREMONY HELD AT A DIVERSITY SHOOT AT GFH!

CNJFO BESTOWS "PATRIOT PIN" TO (5) 2A NJ HEAVY LIFTERS!
COLANDRO, SIMON, FISHER, INGRAM & WONG ALL AWARDED!
by Black Wire Media Tuesday June 18, 2019 www.cnjfo.com/join-us

CNJFO's President, Matt Andras, spoke from the heart last Friday evening at Tony Simon's "The 2nd is for Everyone: Diversity Shoot, detailing the how & why of the beginning of the Coalition of New Jersey Firearm Owners (CNJFO). He then called Anthony Colandro, Tony Simon, Sean Fisher, Dan Ingram and Nick Wong to the front of the classroom at Gun For Hire's Woodland Park Range where this Diversity Shoot was being held. Thanking each of the honorees for their steadfast support of the 2nd Amendment in New Jersey and the Coalition in particular, Andras, on behalf of CNJFO's Board of Trustees, did then officially award the five a "Patriot Kit" consisting of a custom pewter pin, embossed certificate and thank-you note. The applause were so loud it froze the video camera (noted in video).

These five have been supporting us since our inception, so they were the first selected for this honor. We at the Coalition are proud to partner with and are humbled by the volunteerism, expertise, monetary support, and hours spent promoting awareness, education and good will in the NJ 2nd Amendment community at-large. These five deserve your congratulations, respect, and your promise to do your best on the 2A scene as we celebrate their unwavering efforts on our behalf.

Andras then concluded his brief presentation with the following remark, "When friends get together conversations get started. When conversations get started, ideas begin to flourish. When ideas flourish, great things will be accomplished". He also added, "Don't just be a member, become a part of it, own it, and say this is MY organization and I'm proud to work with it"!

#60  USPSA GRAND MASTER EMILY CUTTS, 15, OF TEAM TANDEM KROSS, INSTRUCTS YOUNGIN'S FOR CNJFO  YOUTH SHOOT AT UNION HILL GUN CLUB SUNDAY JUNE 23RD.

 

I'm working on a story & Photo lay-out that will probably be ready to post tomorrow but in the meantime I'd figured you all would enjoy a 15 year old instructing a 9 year old.  Emily Cutts is a great example of this next generation standing-up!  I understand this kid's grandpop is a member here.  I didn't write-down his "handle" so I can't tag him correctly.  I'll try a reverse-tag on Facebook :)

      Yesterday, I attended Lehigh Valley Sporting Clays in Coplay, PA for the first time! I went with @Mrs.Zeke to their NRA Women on Target event - more on that later. I feel very grateful to have attended (and, again, thanks to @Ms. 12 Gauge for letting me know about the event!) Here's my feedback: 
      Sporting Clays: Yikes, what a fun shooting sport!!  If you don't know anything about it, you are moving through a course and at each station there's clays being thrown different ways (varying direction, speed, even a type called a rabbit that rolls along the ground). It's challenging. And for even more challenge, they have 3 defined courses there - beginner, intermediate and advanced. So think of it like a golf course - each station is like a hole - they even have gas-powered golf carts you can rent, or little scooters (I think those are free) and little wheelie carts (also free). The operation is year-round. 
      LVSC: I haven't been to other sporting clays ranges, so I can't compare per se, but I can say this one was really "atmospheric" - and as a lover of all things Victorian, it was just my cup of tea.  It's set in a long-abandoned 1800's quarry operation. So, the old, roofless, dilapidated buildings have been taken over by trees and undergrowth - but they still hold a unique beauty (the great masonry, old arched window frames, etc. - it was like some of those photos from urban explorers who enter abandoned sites). It must look amazing in fall or after a fresh snow! Even better, one station we were at is located right over water (presumably, the old quarry pit). So, you're standing on this little covered deck, looking out across a sparkling body of water, with cliffs opposite you, trees above that and a perfect blue sky up above. Wow. Hey, did I mention it's a GREAT-LOOKING place? (LOL) Much of the course, blessedly, was in shade. And all the little stations have roofs so you've always got a little spot of shade on a hot day. The main building where you sign in was large, nicely air-conditioned (helpful yesterday of all days), well-appointed, kind of a rustic hunting lodge vibe, but very modern and clean, too (including a nice clean ladies room with the de-lead soap, etc.) The staff were all very friendly - and our instructor, Bob Broderick, was fantastic! I recommend him highly. A lot of things "clicked" for me yesterday in terms of understanding the process - that's the power of a good instructor! Here's their website: https://www.lvsclays.com/ 
      NRA Women on Target: The NRA and their partner ranges really do a great job on these events! They are designed to attract women to the shooting sports, so they're quite literally giving stuff away. This deal was so slammin' - it was impossible to pass up! FIFTY BUCKS covered the entire afternoon program. They initially had us in a room  for about an hour where we filled out paperwork and had some classroom instruction about safety, etc. We then picked up the included cold drinks, eye and ear pro, plus a loaner shotgun and instructor for each group... our little sub-group had 4 women and 2 golf carts (carts also included!!)… and we were on the course for a good 2 hours at least... with each one of us getting one-on-one attention and guidance from the instructor at each station (that alone was worth more than 50 bucks!!). Afterwards, we returned to the same room where they had snacks, more ice-cold beverages, certificates and "swag bags" which, best of all, included a coupon for 10% off of a private lesson (expires end of this year).  I have no idea what that would package would cost normally, but looking at the website, I'm guessing at least 125 or more each?
      So, if you haven't been to LVSC yet, I urge you to check it out! It's LOTS of fun. I know CNJFO is doing a fundraiser there this month - I'm sure you'd have a fantastic time AND you'd be contributing to the 2A cause at the same time. So, I'll add that link here: 
      In addition, I plan to get on the email list for their NRA Women on Target events (apparently, LVSC sponsors about 3 a year). Though I can't go again (it's for sporting clays first-timers only), I intend to advertise them in the future under our "events" section... so you can all pass the word to women shooters you know. Believe me, anyone who went would enjoy it. All the ladies who went yesterday (I'd say it was about 15-20) had a real blast!

      With so many registered shoots going on, I thought I'd try a new range in South Jersey and visited Quinton in Salem County and have since gone back.
      It's a nice facility overall, offering Trap, Skeet, Sporting Clays and 5-Stand. I've been there twice for Trap and Sporting Clays and both were busy, but not crowded. On the Trap field, the shooters were pretty laid back and friendly and the woman, Lisa, who was running the show was super helpful. I went with my son and both being new to Trap, I appreciated the advice from the guys just hanging out. It's the kind of place that gets a lot of regulars and they sit around and chew the fat and, when there's enough for a squad, or when Lisa is trying to fill a squad, someone will get up and join. You know there are regulars when a shooter goes down into the trap house to check on the trap or set it up for doubles. It was a pretty good mix of people, yeah, plenty of middle-aged and elderly men, but a few women and juniors as well.  It was a very comfortable place to shoot and I recommend it, though it is a haul (for me) being so far south. 
      They only have one Sporting Clay course as far as I know and it's nicely laid out in the woods along winding, stoned paths. We found the presentations fairly hard - definitely more difficult than the Woods course at Cedar Creek, for example. Lots of longer distance targets. 
      I don't shoot skeet but they have a couple of skeet ranges that look to be in good condition. I've not seen anyone on the skeet range either time I've been there.
      Prices per round weren't bad - $30 for 100 Sporting Clays and $5 for a round of Trap (non-member prices). Clubhouses are nice. No ammo for sale.

      At the risk of crowding up the joint, TNT Reloading is open this Saturday... So, to make the run a bit more productive, I'll be going for a round at Lehigh Valley Sporting Clays.
       
      Always a nice walk/drive, nice scenery, and some of the best presentations in the northeast (seriously). Anybody up for the short notice? 
       
      (Need a ride? Between NY metro and PA along 78, I've got a spot or two)
