They misspelled sense

Your PD supplies it when you drop off the application. NJSP has one format but local PD is different. Ask them.

ETA: A reputable source has told me that this letter was sent out by an unauthorized person. DISREGARD the contents.

Dropped off at SP Sussex today. Sgt looked over everything, made some copies then said that after the prints and mental health come back it goes to Trenton for approval then to the judge in Sussex county court. He also said it’s out of his hands… the contributor case number is name and date and is not critical. But that’s only for NJSP. Local PD will be different. Now the wait begins.

They’re making up their own. There is no standard form. GFH $150 non members, $125 members, one gun. Two guns $200 non members $150 members.

I wanted to provide an update on my experience. I passed my qualification today (HQC2) from the holster and had my application notarized. The HQC2 was 50 rounds total from 1yrd to 25 yards, including one handed firing, tactical reloads, etc.. I will be dropping off my app on Wednesday....

He said he couldn’t know. But he will approve ASAP and the delays will be after it leaves Trenton. They don’t want to be bogged down with this.

"Commonly Used".. I guess SCOTUS need to elaborate what that means to folks who dont have "common sense".

Yes. The only permit that I saw issued was for a sea Captain to carry at the docks. The RLEO permits said "concealed". I forget what the captain's said.

The methods have changed over the years, and even by airlines and agents. First time I ever flew with a rifle out of Newark, the airline agent asked me to open the case to verify that the rifles were unloaded. You could just imagine the look on every other customer's face when the rifle came out. For the most part, follow the airlines guideline on their website. Locking hard case, etc.. The agent "should" have you fill-out the orange card, and then escort you to TSA back room. They will take it, and open to take a look. If they need you to unlock it for them, they will ask you to. They may or may-not allow you into the room during the process (unless they need it unlocked). I use a keyed lock on gun cases. Funny story. In Africa's Joburg airport, the "office" to receive your guns is within the men's bathroom. So you have seedy characters, machine-gun clad police/military and other travelers watching you pick-up your guns. And they all panhandle for a few bucks.

Speaking of swabbing the case for explosives…. While I’ve told this story before, I had an experience with DFW TSA agents in this regard. I was returning to Philly after a ranch trip, with a rifle. TSA in Dallas swabbed my gun case, and said, “you can’t fly with this gun case, it tested positive for gunpowder residue.” Yep…it’s a GUN case, with a firearm inside it, of COURSE it tested positive for gunpowder residue. I had him get his supervisor, who ran the same test, and said the same thing. They wouldn’t let me fly with it. I had to get the supervisors supervisor….and he agreed with me (no shit, Sherlock!), and not only verbally bitch slapped his subordinates, but allowed my rifle to fly. TSA is useless.

They are all dirty members of the elite club, that piss on us.

Sad, but True and NJ will no longer allow a student to be held back in a grade...

The reason is to make it inconvenient. Ours are good for 5, and renewal isn’t overly painful.

I'm back from the Mason-Dixon BBQ Brisket Bootcamp. It was a lot of fun, and very educational. I highly recommend their bootcamps (held at their shop in Greencastle, PA) if you can manage to get into one--they sold out for 2022 a couple of months ago. We started at 6 am. They had 23 smokers available, from Weber Kettles used for indirect cooking up through big stick burning offset smokers and a couple of pig roasters. One student had dropped out, so we had 19 students, and 22 briskets, each about 14 lbs. I opted to use a Backwoods cabinet smoker, which worked out very well, burning lump charcoal with apple wood chunks. A local butcher took us through the anatomy of a brisket and gave tips for trimming one, then a competition cook took us through another one with more of an emphasis on trimming for competition. Each student received a different premixed injection and paired base rub (the base rubs, SPGs, are all variations on salt, pepper, garlic). We then picked an overlay rub. Briskets were prepped by 8:30 am, and on the smoker grates by 9:30. This was the 'hot and fast' class, so smoker temps were in the 275-325F range, depending on the smoker. The beer, which started flowing at 8 am, helped keep the cooks from overheating. They had a handful of staff members circulating all day, helping out and answering questions. The youngster on staff had recently been accepted as a student at the Culinary Institute of America. Downtime, both morning and afternoon, was spent cooking brunch and lunch on the smokers or a Blackstone griddle. We made omelette cups, french toast roll-ups, biscuits and gravy, sausage queso, quesadillas, cider-braised kielbasa, and probably some things I've forgotten. All were excellent. Just past noon, the briskets were pulled when they hit 160F or so, and wrapped in foil to which nearly a quart of au jus plus leftover injection was added. Back onto the smokers for a couple more hours. When tender, they were pulled to rest wrapped in towels for 45 minutes, then the points were separated to make burnt ends, cubed, tossed in sauce, and put in foil pans to return to the smokers for half an hour to set the sauce. Half an hour after that, the flats were sliced, and returned to the juice in the foil to stay moist. Both burnt ends and sliced flat were the best I've ever made, and the brisket was done in just 6 hours! I came home with nearly all of the brisket, and all the gimmes from the class; knife, hot gloves, injector. Plus, I got to sample probably 20 rubs and a dozen sauces...before heading into the extensive shop to buy my favorites. The picture from their 'sauce room' shows maybe 1/3 of the inventory. I've attached a few photos.

Any integer times the square-root of -1.

I was listening to gun for hire a radio earlier today and he says one of his guys was at Passaic County Courthouse last week and that the judge was issue unrestricted carry permits.

Sometimes People have to leave these things alone. Folks are going crazy over that letter online (reddit etc). Some idiots will start calling their PDs or NJSP about "authenticity" of the letter, nit pick stuff in that letter, starting calling NJSP again about if they can "open carry" blah blah blah. Everything in that letter is "good" (as good as it gets in NJ), so better be left alone and let PDs process applications.

My notary guy went overboard with stamp and raised seal. The seal was pressed so hard that it actually made hole through the paper. LOL. The officer who took in the app was like "wow, what is this, a raised seal".

Stop trying to use logic in a political situation. It just does not work.

Nothing they do solves anything.

It would not surprise me if internet dealers did not want to be burdened by these new regulations, and refused to ship to NJ. And BTW, what is the purpose of tracking large orders of ammo? The only people buying thousands of rounds are target shooters like us. Anyone bent on mayhem would only need (and be able to carry) a few hundred rounds, at most.

My question would be is what defines "actively report HG ammo sales to the state". Does that mean report ALL sales AT the point of purchase or does it mean "actively report HG ammo sales to the state" when requested. BIG difference. Regardless. it really doesn't leave the state knowing how much the purchaser actually has on hand at any one point in time. Maybe the purchaser shoots A LOT and the 5k rounds they purchased last month really doesn't mean much. And what business is it of the "State" (NJ or otherwise) to know how much HG ammo you've purchased. What's next? Tracking how many 6 or 12 or cases of beers you purchased? Or bottles of wine? Or whiskey / bourbon? Really, what interest does it serve? Because they aren't tracking how much is being used / consumed. It's really useless. And even if a person purchases "x" (call it 10k rounds of HG ammo) then really, what business it of the State knowing this? It's just more "feel good" legislation to make it appear they are "doing something". But in reality it means little to nothing. And it won't "solve" anything.

Here is a good take on the situation from a thread on ar15.com about NY CCW restrictions but applies to N.J. as well: "What you are seeing is what has happened in every other state that has passed shall-issue concealed carry. Not to the extent NY is going but similar. The people inconvenienced will complain and changes will be made. Then lawsuits will happen and then more changes are made. Then as people adjust to the idea of "people walking around carrying hidden guns" more changes will occur. My state has had concealed carry for decades and we are still tweaking the law." "Back in 2000 when Michigan was trying to go from may-issue to shall-issue we had a state level pro-gun organization trying to kill the bill for the exact same reasons you mentioned. The people with connections had permits and very few restrictions. They threw a fit that going to shall-issue would result in a more involved process, a higher fee, and more restrictions on where they could carry. They had the "I got mine, fuck everyone else" attitude that you seem to have. Shall issue passed, barely. Counties like Wayne County, where Detroit is, dug their feet in and refused to issue any permits for almost a year. Multiple lawsuits had to be filed against them. The legislature has gone back many times to tweak the law, remove restrictions, and make other changes to improve things". "Baby steps, just like how the Dems take away our rights, is how you get the restrictions removed. The big hurdle is getting shall-issue allowed. That is still a huge win for NY. Then you go back and get the restrictions removed". .

You aren’t giving the monkey enough credit.

Ah, yes, the infamous 9th Circuit Court of Appeals, sprung from the loony left coast. I don't know how they've not yet been required to clear the bench and start over with smarter justices. This year, 16 of their rulings went up to the Supreme Court. 15 were overturned. Still, a better average than in 1985 when they had a stunning 25 of 26 rulings overturned by the Supreme Court. Their average reversal rate over the last 15 year? 79% So yeah, a monkey flipping a coin would do statistically much better than the 29 esteemed justices of the 9th circuit. The embarrassing 9th Circuit Court of Appeals

In other news, my eForm4 for my suppressor was approved. Picking it up later today. Just shy of 5 months.

First and Foremost, Fuck NY and Everything that 3rd World Shithole Stands For. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/ny-state-passes-sweeping-gun-control-bill-after-supreme-court-strikes-down-concealed-carry-law/ar-AAZ5JxQ?ocid=msedgntp&cvid=6a3b2182b4504b0b822e7a39b0f581a6 "Once Hochul signs the new gun bill into law, it will allow gun owners to apply for concealed carry licenses, but would restrict where weapons could be brought. For example, guns would only be allowed in businesses if the owner put up a sign explicitly allowing it. Other off-limits locations include demonstrations, schools, healthcare facilities, parks, Times Square, public transit, bars, polling places, entertainment venues and more. It will be a felony to bring a gun to a restricted area. Gun license applicants will be subject to interviews, social media monitoring and monthly background checks. They will also need to undergo 15 hours of training at a firing range, provide contact information for household members and renew their licenses every three years. Permits will be denied for a broader range of criminal offenses. The bill also contains a slew of other provisions and rules surrounding the purchase of ammunition and gun accessories, the storage of weapons and other minutiae for gun ownership. It allows for local governments to impose even tighter gun laws if they so choose as well." BUT, BY FAR, THIS IS MY FAVORITE QUOTE: "Today, we’re taking swift action in the wake of the Supreme Court’s reckless rulings that threaten the rights of New Yorkers." - So, somehow RESTORING New Yorkers rights is Threatening their rights? Holy shit, you can't make this stuff up.
