It was a busy day yesterday so I didn't have any time to post here but, yesterday on July 11st 10 AM, I became the second person in Watchung Boro to submit their CCW packet after the Supreme Court ruling. I made an appointment to come in before hand with the Sgt. in charged of firearm applicants before hand. The appointment was approximatly 15 minutes long, where we gone over each document to make sure it was all right. He went over my notorized letter of proof of ownership of the handguns I qualified with the serial numbers on the RTSP qualification certificate serial numbers. I also submitted a certificate of the RTSP intro to ccw 2 hour course of proof that I can safely handle firearms and know how they operate also. The Sgt. went over the process explaining that the CCW process on the police's end is the same as an FID card/ pistol permit and once the Chief of police approves it (I apply twice a year for 6 pistol permits since December 2019, no issues with getting approved) it will go to the Suprior Court in Somerset County. He said that since Watchung is a smaller town compared to Bridgewater, Franklin or Hillsborogh that he should be able to process the CCW applications at a faster rate compared to the rest of the county but there is still a learning curve at this and that there will still be alot of applicants applying. Also that the Superior Court and the Somerset County Prosecutors Office are still working on the details on processing the influex of applicants for the county. But he said he had enough information to get started on my application which is good! I was issued a case number by Watchung Police which is similar to what I see with their criminal complants, its not the case number that has been going around like on RTSP website with applicant's last name and date of applicantion. Its an unique number that is issued inhouse by your agency. I already made the appointment with Identigo before I submitted my application so I was able to call and redo the case number, kept the same time and location for my application this Saturday. Overall, with everything totalled up with the application to obtain a NJ CCW, not counting the price of ammuniton like critical defense, holsters nor firearms its quite a bit: $50 money order to the Treasury $185 for qualifications for two guns at RTSP $99 intro to CCW at RTSP $16 for the 1.5 X 1.5 inch photos at CVS $96 for Identigo fingerprinting in Staten Island Total is $446. My boss is a notary so he was able to notarize my documents for the CCW. I wanted to apply as soon as possible once the Supreme Court got rid of justifiable need. I know friends who want to apply but want to wait but I figure why wait now? I waited long enough and the state legislators are currently in summer recess now, once get back from their break they could be pulling a New York on us and make it harder for us. I posted this on reddit on r/NJguns but I finally submitted everything!

I ran my first 3 candidates through HQC1 & HNQC this evening. All 3 passed both CoF. They will keep me posted on the progress of their applications.

Up for sale is my S&W Model 64-3 in .38 Special. This belonged to a LEO a while back and it is in great shape with some holster marks and a few light scratches. Original wood grips. Great gun very accurate. This one is a no lock hole also. I'll take 400 for it no lower. Buyer pays all taxes and fees. I prefer Gun for Hire as my FFL but will come to yours if within a reasonable distance. First "I'll take it" gets it. Crappy pics from my iphone do not do it justice. You can also PM me with an offer. I might say yes.

There have been a few people post pictures on Facebook. I can't find them now.

...

NJ has about 100 years of evolution before it (may) comes to terms with law abiding regular joe open carrying everywhere. I am not talking about somewhere in the sussex woodslands, but populated Jersey City. Lot of states with lot better 2A laws are still struggling with Karens getting triggered and law abiding bearing the consequences.

You can find a deal, if you keep up the hunt.... They are just such good looking pistols, and a bonus they shoot like a dream.

I honestly have no idea. I put my phone number. I think the local SP may be misinterpreting it. Best to ask ANJRPC?

And if you did you probably shouldn't admit to it.

Very nice.

NJSP Washington just called me trying to reach my boss to verify employment. Therefore, I conclude the phone number box on the SP642 should be your employer's phone number, not your own. The Trooper also called my references today. When she spoke to me trying to verify employment, she said things looked OK so far. Apparently, the municipal code on the SP642 is not the ORI number for the PD, but she said she filled it in by hand so should be OK. She has not received anything back from Indentogo yet (I got printed on 6/30) but she said it goes via NJSP Trenton so not to be concerned yet.

I also had naturalization papers to submit. The sgt just copied it.

Now ask your friends in constitutional carry states what hoops they have to jump through.

You will likely get the permit and not be able to exercise that right anywhere - until such time as more lawsuits are brought to strike down those laws....that create the sensitive places. I understand the zeal to apply and get the permit, yet I am confounded by why it has to be 'right now!'.... Good for those that have done it ! That being said, is there a central ONE STICKY POST, that has all the requirements etc.?

My local pd only wanted 1 original mental health, 1 notarized letter of firearm ownership and they made a copy of my drivers license and passport

Well, he was in a donut shop, so it all seemed plausible.

From my past experience, my PD DID NOT want me to fill out anything else (Other than applicant info) and SIGN in front of them. Your department / NJSP may treat it differently.

pam or any cooking oil works, and WD-40 works

I thought that was a federal no-go zone?

Use that old bottle of Hoppe's 9 laying around.

Goo Gone or Goof Off will work.

Whatever it is it should be fairly resistant to most cleaners. Start gentle with soap and water then relube. You can also just jump to any oil and see if that does it.

Just being part of Farcebook shows a lack of thinking....

I frequently open carry here in AZ. It will take awhile for the sheeple to accept it in NJ.

If you have been watching the NJ gun pages on FB, you would realize there are a lot of people displaying a lack of thinking.

who in their right mind would advertise this on FB.................omo.

I found this one photo from 2019

Where I grocery shop, there is always a woman, a detective, that open carries wearing plain clothes. But if you look at her from behind, all you see is a pistol on her hip, no badge or uniform. You will only see her badge when looking at her from the front. I have never seen anyone call the police on her.

Are you going to take the mag disconnect out? They shoot even better if you do.

What about the liability of rendering your customers defenseless? Yes, I know. That aspect will be ignored just like any other law they don't like.

For the few permits that have been issued so far where the owner has published them, the court has restricted them to the guns used for qualification. It is written on the back of the permit including make, model, caliber and serial number.

At this point assume that the permit is valid only for the gun you’ve qualified with. But I really would like to have ANJRPC help clarify this because it doesn’t align with the statute. It SHOULD be one permit to rule them all. There are other things that are being worked on in the background.

The qualification disparities may or may not be an issue, we'll see as people get approved/denied...but this gun you intend to carry thing is an issue. Some ranges, all listed on the NJSP website, have conflicting reports on the gun limitation. GFH seems pretty connected and says you can only carry what you qualify with...but then some ranges in South Jersey are posting the statute that suggests you can carry any gun you own after you're issued your permit. For me, this is an area that needs real clarification. I have a qual scheduled in August at a South Jersey range and am debating what I should bother qualifying with...especially since I'm considering buying a different carry gun for warmer weather. Also, for what it's worth, a super helpful NJSP firearms detective has been emailing me about my FID address change and ccw came up...he specifically told me that the Contributors Case Nunber is your last name and date of app...so DoeMMDDYY

Can anyone confirm that the new guidance on pistol qualification for CCW only requires qualification with a pistol owned, but doesn't restrict carry to that pistol? I am reading the SP memo and it says that any handgun acquired AFTER the issuance of the CCW may be carried and doesn't require additional qualification. What does that mean for other legally owned pistols acquired BEFORE the CCW but not tested on for certification? Thank you.

Its the executive guide for following the legislated statute. Apparently the executive branch of our government isn't smart enough to just use the statute, they have to have someone explain it to them, or in many cases they just make shit up to fit their own personal agenda. It's no different then when the ATF makes up rules. In any case, administrative codes is not law and can't be used in court as an argument as breaking the law, not unless a statute specifically dictates that an agency will be responsible for enacting a policy or procedure. Administrative rules are guides for those enforcing the statute.

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.

Looks like those new New York carry permits are already out of control 3 shot during pool party attended by hundreds at luxury hotel on Long Island (msn.com)

Those fuckin' commies really want to screw us again after essentially clogging up the shipping ports? When does the shooting start?

***DELETED***

So, I understand this chompin' at the bit to get a permit here, but somewhere down the line we're going to have to address this qualification BS ......what no one is talking about is,...what about folks in their later years who for one reason or another can't drop to one knee and shoot..... or shoot weak hand because of some injury or maybe arthritis....is the state going to deprive NJ citizens their 2A right because they may be physically handicapped in one way or another.... the elderly are so often targets of crime.....these tests IMO are ALL Infringements placed upon us....Fla, Ga, VT....they all have it right.....here, we're nowhere near being right... CCW and self-defense isn't just for young cowboys, it's for everyone.....and that's how I feel .

I'll sum that article up. Biden Admin: Lower your prices, increase your output and invest in refining!!!! Energy companies: But you just said you plan to phase out fossil fuels in the next 5 years Biden Admin: Yes, we want you out of business, now spend your billions and make gas cheaper! Energy companies: No. Biden Admin : SEE!!! It's corporate greed that is causing prices to be so high!!!

Had a little fun this morning at a local pond. Caught 8-9 panfish and a small bass. Forgot how much fun they are on a fly rod!

Here is the latest incomprehensible plan cooked up by the Biden administration: Biden administration proposes removal of four major hydroelectric dams So Biden is committed to ending our dependence on fossil fuels and converting us over to an all-electric economy. He acts like he is trying to do this by the end of the year, so abrupt are his policy changes. But, the big hydroelectric dams on the Columbia and Snake Rivers interfere with salmon migration. That's absolutely true, relatively few salmon make it past the fish ladders and big oxygen-poor reservoirs above the dams. I'd love to see the salmon runs restored; my home turf is upstream from those dams. But the dams (and locks) also make it possible for ocean-going vessels to make it all the way upriver to Lewiston, Idaho, an actual seaport, 465 river miles from the Pacific ocean. From Lewiston, vast quantities of wheat, timber, and other agricultural products are shipped from producers in northern Idaho and eastern Washington. Estimates of the cost to replace the (cheap, and relatively green) hydro power generated by those dams range from $11 Billion to $34 Billion dollars, with the various proposals never actually addressing how that lost electricity would be generated. But the administration does have a plan for moving the 800,000 tons/year of products that could no longer be moved by ship and barge. Diesel trucks and locomotives.
