That's easy - by selling these scary ideas to the uninformed masses and then fixing the imagined problems the politicians get themselves voted back in time and again. If they hadn't done that and grabbed all the power, how would they be able to force you to submit to their Covid lockdowns - they have surely saved your life and you should be grateful! /sarc

Picked up the cheapest 9mm Hi-Point carbine I could find, bought the Hightower Armory bullpup conversion, takes 20 minutes to put it all together, installed the JSARMSCO shroud/compensator and the trigger spring kit, cleaned up the trigger nicely, installed a red dot I had lying around. Gave it to my wife who is 4'11", she loves it, fits her perfectly. Minimal recoil and a really fun range gun, with the red dot you can split hairs, very accurate. Once the holiday sales start I would imagine you could build this for $600 or less, cost me $680 all in. Next up is a Hi-Point .45 carbine/bullpup for me.

NJ Governor Murphy Skirts Past Gun Safety Question By John Petrolino | Nov 02, 2021 10:30 AM ET Chris Pedota/The Record via AP, Pool “Always keep the gun unloaded until ready to use” is one of the cardinal rules of gun safety. Unfortunately for Governor Phil Murphy from New Jersey, he does not keep his brain loaded when needed. At least not when caught off guard. Generally speaking The Murph is quick to reply to the many questions from the press corps whom swoon over him and his progressive totalitarian ways. However, throw a wrench in there in the form of a question not sent to the Governor’s office in advance, and he’s all thumbs. I will give the man an “A” for effort in coming up with a sold deflection to the question. In a recent press event, the President of New Jersey Second Amendment Society (NJ2AS), Alex “Alejandro” Roubian tossed The Murph a rather soft ball question. To say the Governor swung and missed is an understatement. From the event: Hi governor, good afternoon…Alejandro with NJ2AS News Governor. You have been a self-proclaimed gun safety advocate since becoming governor. In light of the recent tragedy where Alec Baldwin shot and killed an innocent mother due to his negligent mishandling of a firearm, can you recite the three basic firearm safety rules so that future tragedies like this can be prevented? Thank you. That’s a simple enough question and really a simple/fair enough request. The Murph does go on ad nauseam about how “safe” New Jersey is with all our “gun safety” laws in place. The safest not-so-safe state in the Union actually. How did the carpet-bagging goosestepping Governor reply? Is that it? Okay. Um. He was not really sure how to reply because the Governor was not fed the question in advance. Glancing at his papers as if the answers were in there, he did do his best…Well, you decide: Awful tragedy. Right? Just an awful awful tragedy and I have no insight as to exactly what happened or why it happened. Uh. I’ll just leave it Alex where I’ve been. I’m a big believer in gun safety. We have the strongest gun safety laws of every any American state. I’d like to see us take a few more steps, which is part of this gun safety package 3.0…I’m even more importantly, would love to see…beg, the United States to have national federal gun safety legislation. Because 85% of the crime guns that are confiscated, Pat I believe that’s the right number, in New Jersey come in from out of state. So, we’re not an island. How’s The Murph doing so far? That’s zero. Zero firearm safety rules recited so far. What else did Murphy have to say? And thirdly, I want to reiterate what I’ve reiterated with you before, none of the above undermines, uh our support and uh belief in the Second Amendment we’ll leave it at that thank you. Right. I completely agree with the Governor on that. Nothing he’s done since being in office to make New Jersey have “the strongest gun safety laws” undermined the Second Amendment at all. Eye roll. The fact is, Murphy is a hack. He completely proved it as he tried to fumble his way through answering the question. Just about everything he’s done in regards to firearm law in the Garden State has undermined the Second Amendment. To tout it all as “gun safety laws” or “gun safety legislation” is beyond hubris when he cannot even recite one of the gun safety rules. At this or any juncture, I’d settle for one of the rules, his choice, NRA or Cooper, and I’d have just a tiny bit of respect for the man. However, the Governor fell flat on his face in rising to the gun safety occasion. A complete and total side bar, one would think that all the members of the anti-freedom caucus would commit to memory as many of the gun safety rules and bits of etiquette as they could, as to not sound like complete dunderheads when they open their privileged progressive pie holes. If Murphy took three minutes a day to dedicate himself to learning about what he’s banning, he’d be able to talk the talk. Governor, if you’d like to take a gun safety class, drop me a dime. I’ll take you, along with you contingent of armed guards, and give you a one on one basic gun safety class. I’ll even pay for the ammo. Like many anti-freedom politicians, Murphy is above all that. He’s above answering the question as presented, or at least conceding he knows none of the rules, and he’s certainly above the rest of us peasants who support the crumbling socialist state of New Jersey. Why would he educate himself on such matters? His aim is to abolish the Second Amendment in New Jersey. If we’re lucky, we won’t have to hear much more from The Murph after election day. If not, well, I apologize in advance to all my readers…I, along with my colleagues, will be writing more about Phil Murphy’s unconstitutional and ignorant ways. Fingers crossed America.

Pics or it didn't happen

What is your intended purpose and how are you securing it? Paddle? Belt? My preference is the Safariland ALS holster. It has thumb break retention. https://safariland.com/products/model-7379-7ts-als-concealment-belt-clip-holster-34852 The GLS is nice as well https://safariland.com/products/model-579-gls-pro-fit-holster-with-belt-clip-57900

Well that was interesting. The usual NY/NJ argument of "if any government did it, we can do it now regardless of how wrong it may be" defense. And wanting to remand it so they can retry it or find new data or whatever, just remand it please. I think the plaintiff made some really good arguments regarding constitutionality and the nature of a constitutional right. I think he got across the point that there is no other enumerated, incorporated amendment that simply does not exist for any citizen without getting a permission slip first.

Clement's closing argument was spot on. He spelled the issue out loud and clear. I believe the vote will be in our favor - barely

Let's put this MYTH to rest, FOREVER & RIGHT NOW! You may or may not be aware, so for those that AREN'T here goes: I transport weapons registered to a man that's been DEAD since 1982! Upon my father's passing, my mother laid his entire modest collection out on display on the dinning room table for her three offspring to divvy-up. NO PAPERWORK! Cause that's how it was done back then! Am I supposed to go dig them both up (Mom died in '95) and ask them where's the P2P's? I've been "behind the trigger" for nearly half a century. The totality of what I've done and what I know could make a good book. And OPEN LOTS OF EYES to the self-inflicted harassments we continually endure from those that THINK they "know" things...the big one being applying FOPA interstate transport regulations to intrA-state (within NJ) transportation. The fact is the current law doesn't even say that your Yellow Card has to be IN YOUR POSSESSION, it merely states you have to be granted one to be in compliance of the exception / exemption you're transporting under.... ~R

Lesson in this: Never take legal advice from your LGS (or LEO's for that matter). JHP's are perfectly legal for HD in NJ. Just be sure to transport them directly from home to the range and back (like handguns).

I sure hope so, but all these freedom-loving people fleeing NJ is not helping. We need people here to fight for liberty. I don't plan to leave this state in the foreseeable future so I will do my part.

From a personal perspective, the answer depends on how old you are. In my case, I will be 68 next year. So while I remain hopeful, I am not optimistic that I will ever be able to CC in NJ. My runway of life grows ever shorter. Drake, and recently Rogers, were bitter disappointments. Even if and when Justifiable Need is overturned, NJ will likely drag their feet and institute unreasonable qualification requirements. Then these would have to be challenged for yet more years through the courts. Hope I am wrong. This topic brings to mind the glorious ONE DAY in my life three years ago when I spent the day concealed carrying in PA. Shortly after , PA stopped recognizing all non-resident permits (including Texas in my case.). In sharp contrast to NJ, my recent renewals of my Utah and Texas carry permits were routine and fast. Both informed me 3-6 months in advance of the upcoming need to renew. Amazing.

Remember back kids, we had a shot at National Reciprocity during Trump's first two years with a Repub congress. It was passed in the House, Dec. 2017, but the Repub controlled Senate refused to even bring it up for a vote. If your Repub politicians won't pass it, the chance of a Dem controlled NJ legislature passing it is pretty slim

NJ will never loosen up the carry permit laws unless they are forced to. If the Democrats pack the SCOTUS there won't be a chance to change things for at least 30 years. There is a chance with the present court.

If they pack the court Definitely No if they don't pack the court, No. if you live in Jersey and want to carry, become a cop, a criminal or move.

No.
