Morris County; twenty-four days from submission on July 20th and approved/handed to me on August 12th; it was pretty simple and uneventful with nothing unexpected. I'm a bit detail oriented so I came with everything already sorted in separate folders for each application, three copies of everything, extra photos, put my name and SBI number on the back of the pics, etc. Came in with the original check list I found with everything marked, sat down with the chief and reviewed everything with him, double checking everything off the list so we were all good, and that was it.

Congrats. No offense but try to send in a better photo next time, put on decent shirt and smile. You look like an inmate. If you ever take down a mass shooter at a food court you want to look good on the news.

Well I just got my permit...there were 4 other people picking theirs up at my PD...so of the 25 that appeared in Gloucester county yesterday 5 were from Harrison Twp

I know to a lot of people, me included, guns stores are like barber shops. You stick with the one that does it the way you like. The ones that don't do it the way you like, you don't go back.

Wow. Gas is almost like free. Thanks fjb

Getting IDd depends on two things, the gun shop and who is behind the counter. I have been asked for ID a couple times, but most of the time they don't. I think they do it mostly to discourage the "fondlers" that can't buy because they have no FPID. They are time wasters.

1st off, name the place. 2nd, I wouldn't buy a thing from them until they took the time to actually learn what the laws in this State are. 3rd. If they are going to be this paranoid, they should have never opened a gun shop. I won't set foot inside of RSTP because of their redicoulus policy that you need to show your FID to pick up your already legally owned gun that was in for gunsmithing/warranty work. Fuck them.

Ok a bit over due:

See the problem here is your mentality, not mocking you for your specific thinking. But the issue is most of us had the same thought. What if... And what if... That's what kept us new jersyans from getting what we were owed a long time ago, we just simply admitted defeated and sat there and let them do as they please until a couple of guys from. Nj and NY sued for the right to carry and they both made it to the SCOTUS and we finally won. Nothing to reconsider here honestly. NYS is getting sued to the moon and back and they're going to have to comply sooner than later with a fake smile on their faces. Bruen made it VERY clear to the law and what is considered unconstitutional and they're defying it 100% and it's only a stalling tactic. They simply CANNOT make everywhere a sensitive place. As for liability insurance. I have us Lawshield. I'm pursuing this and I'll keep donating to all the organizations that keep fighting for us until we get all this nonsense sorted out and it will shortly.

Remember the Baldanza's Bakery bread bags the put the subs in?

1. NJ's is still in effect...for now. Lawsuit has been initiated. 2. Illegal in NJ. Federally cannot be sold with a jig kit (per my understanding) and has been challenged in Fed court. 3. I just bought 2000 rounds, so I'll let you know if I get a visit. 4. Yes 5. Not in NJ, yet. Stay tuned.

I contacted GFH this afternoon to find out if they would qualify four handguns for a permit and what it would cost. After trading a couple emails with Phoebe I can say what the current options are at GFH. I read a statement on their website which they are correcting. That statement implied only two handguns could be qualified at any one session, and that's no longer true. So my non-member costs would be: Qualification Session with one handgun: $150 Each additional handgun: $50 And there is no limit on the number of handguns you can add. So my qualification with four handguns would be $300. If you're a member, I believe each of those items for you would be $25 less. If I indeed go for a permit I don't want to have to dip back in the well. Ideally I'd like two really compact and two large frame pistols licensed. I have no report on how the Sussex County judge(s) is/are issuing permits, so I'm hedging my bets. If they are not restricting permits, than qualifying four handguns is unnecessary.

I believe that, she's quite pleasant. All things considered.

I never understood the point of having a fingerprint on an ID card, but whatever, having the card issued at all is cause for celebration. The guidelines for passport photos don't allow smiling. It took my wife a couple of tries to look sufficiently unhappy to have her photo accepted.

That is bizarre. Looking over the syllabus for the classroom training, I don't think it is humanly possible to speak slowly enough to hit the minimum 16 hours of required classroom time. Then there is two hours of range safety training, again requiring a glacially-slow pace to actually fill two hours. And at the end of that, the actual firing qualification is only 5 rounds. From the ready position. No holster. No strong hand/weak hand. No time limit, go as slowly as you want. From 12 feet. Hit a 25" x 11" piece of paper with 4 out of 5 shots, and you've passed. It kinda reads like the classroom and range safety sections were written by someone who didn't believe civilians should be granted carry permits, and the qualification section was written by someone who believed you shouldn't have to qualify at all, but had to write something down just the same.

Just to come back to earthly reality for a moment, PA, NH, UT and FL all granted me license to carry firearms in their states. Except for PA it was also all done remotely. None of them had 'qualifications'. Any more than I need to 'qualify' to speak, write, worship, etc. I'm going to jump through all the same hoops as everyone else to try to get a NJ permit. Just because I can. So I fault no one for trying to get one. But personally, I view the conditions for NJ 'granting' us permits to carry as even more ridiculous, disorganized and illogical than when they just said "NO!".

One day Johnny's parents told him that the neighbors had just brought their new baby boy home from the hospital and they were all invited to go over and see him. The parents said the child was healthy and they were just thrilled to have a son. There was one problem though. The poor little boy had been born without ears. Johnny's parents agreed to come over the next day and Johnny's mom, knowing her son, warned him. Now Johnny, I don't want you to say one bad thing about this new little baby or the fact he doesn't have any ears. I mean it, nothing bad or embarrassing. You can ask any question you might have but NOTHING about him not having ears. I'm sure his parents are upset enough without you saying something about it. OK Mom, I promise. Yeah, you have promised before and then did just the opposite. I mean it, if you say anything inappropriate about his lack of ears you are going to be in big trouble. Do you understand me? I said OK Mom, I won't say anything about the baby not having ears. When they got to the house Johnny's parents made a big fuss about how adorable the little boy was. The new parents just beamed. They asked Johnny if he wanted to see the baby too. His mother just cringed thinking Johnny was going to say something right off the bat about the baby not having ears. The conversation went like this. Wow, he sure is cute. Thank you Johnny, we think so too. He has really blonde hair. Well, I have blonde hair so I guess he got that from me. He has strong looking legs and arms doesn't he? Yes he does, his Dad is quite the athlete so I suppose he gets that from his father. What a cute little button nose he has. His Grandmother had the same little cute nose. Isn't just adorable? They all agreed that the boys nose was adorable. Johnny's Mom was so happy that little Johnny hadn't said ANYTHING about the boy not having any ears. How's the baby's eyesight Johnny asked. Well, from what we can tell so far his eyesight is perfect, why do you ask? Because if he ever needs glasses he's SCREWED!

Elsie's in Red Bank and Joyce's in Lincroft made the best subs ever. The last time I was at Elsie's, they still had the same rickety wood screen door that slams shut behind you. That was at least 15 years ago. Anyone who went to St. James/RBC definitely knows Elsie's.

My Rossi 357 zips out 158 gr ammo at about 1800 fps, chronographed. Can contend with most critters in North America. If I was using it for SD I'd use Federal 147 gr +P+. 1200 fos chronographed. That Federal load is 38 spl

I saw this at a business in Blackwood this week. I told the receptionist that I like the sign while I was picking up my order.

So? NJ doesn't require you to conceal, and no states have printing laws that I'm aware of. Big boys tend to print easier. Dick heads is not part of the mall per say, it's a stand alone store outside the mall.

Don't overthink your rifle ammo. Whatever the bullet profile is, 3000fps is going to deliver a bunch of energy on target. Just pick something that has satisfactory accuracy and is reliable in your gun. Then spend the time you would have used up looking for the perfect ammo to practice, practice, practice. Also bear in mind that if you zero your sights for one type of ammo, the point of impact will change if you switch to another type of ammo. Will it shift by much? Maybe, maybe not. It all depends on how different they are and the distance you are shooting.
