But you can’t check that your fundamentals are correct if you only shoot at 7 yards. You can be tremendously sloppy and still group well, because the close distance is so forgiving. Shooting close hides many errors and gives a tremendous sense of false accomplishment. Bottom line - If you can get good hits at 25yards, you’ll get your hits at 7. The opposite is absolutely not true.

While I agree with the simple logic here, I feel this is a dangerous game to play with your rights. For example, if you reside in Ocean county, and you're pulled over in Ocean county, and the officer is keen to the fact that every single ptc had been issued with an attached court order to some degree, and you play dumb... you can find yourself in some serious hot water. We are talking about court orders issued by a superior court Judge, that may seem unconstitutional but they are lawful orders under current nj statute. While I don't agree with any of the orders or restrictions, we know what law enforcement and the courts are capable of in this state, and they are not on your side. The term "law abiding gun owner" goes out the window when you pretend your court order doesn't exist. Careful out there.

I'm carrying pretty much everywhere because I don't want to keep putting it on and taking it off. I'm fully aware that the likelihood of needing it is exceedingly low, but if I do need it, I'll be mighty glad I had it. Similarly, I have a spare tire that goes everywhere with me when I'm driving. I don't just load it up when I'm heading somewhere with crappy roads with lots of pot holes.

i've said it before and i'll say it again. the only way to stop madness like this is to pass an amendment that hold lawmakers personally liable for legal fees resulting from laws they sponsor which are ruled unconstitutional. as it stands now, these ppl across the nation (but especially in ny ca and nj) pass any outlandish law they want knowing full well it won't pass scrutiny. they don't care though, because there are no repercussions for them. change that

Picked up this morning in York. Also took the opportunity to do my first road trip in my new car. York was a breeze. If you’re going there go to the satellite office. Much easier than downtown at the court house. Applied Friday night, received approval on Tuesday. Picked up today. The deputy at the front desk was helpful and friendly and she explained everything. They will ask for a copy of your NJ permit by email when you renew your NJ permit in 2 years and if you don’t send it they will revoke your LTCF. Just something to bear in mind. Those of us up North can also go to Wayne county. A bit less of a drive. I could have gone there but I knew others who went to York. Oh well.

That makes you an outlier. An exception to the rule. However, while you have no duty to inform, the cop can ask "do you have any weapons/firearms in the vehicle?". Happy to hear you have a get out of jail free card due to employment.. but even cops get arrested by other cops for ridiculous reasons, and your position and experience does not help 99% of the average Joes out here under far more scrutiny. Good luck in your travels my friend.

97 days for me , I'll be reaching out to an attorney next week if nothing changes.

I reject that notion as well. Every place was/is a potential shootout prior to Bruen.. Bruen changed nothing. Carrying a firearm doesn't mean you live in fear, it means you live prepared and ready to defend yourself. I too, chose my home location due to being rated one of the safest towns in the country. Yet, that doesn't stop criminals from over 40 miles away coming to victimize us. Criminals are not cemented in their communities, and the last 15 years they have sought targets in these "safe" communities. A guy in Glen Rock was beaten and robbed over a lottery ticket just this year. He drove a short distance from his home to a convenience store. A town that is arguably one where people would think this could never happen. Being prepared for the unexpected doesn't mean youre living in fear, it means you are living in a reality that you can't control these things.

You can try emailing that Kimberly person someone posted their email. She gave me my docket number. Based on when the you said the judge got it /court got it going to say you're either low 400s or high 300s and they are only around 150 so you're probably looking at 3-4 more months at the rate these fools are moving. State doens't give a shit about your rights and you'll get them when they are ready. Take the NICS check when buying a gun the delay is about a week now and they are over 2k in the backlog. Whats the I in nics stead for again Idiots, incompetence or imbeciles?

The most important thing to remember is that the machine we're dealing with are not our friends. They may be cordial; but they seem to almost universally have contempt for anyone who wants permits. I've had some friendly conversations with the cogs, but inevitably they out themselves by action or lack thereof.

This is SO bad….a Mexican friend of mine refers to leaf blowers as ‘Mexican Bagpipes’. “Listen to the music of my people!”

This is false. The subcompact Glocks (G26/G27 size) are inherently the most mechanically accurate pistols Glock makes - even with OEM barrels. You do not need a “marksman” barrel to get hits at 25 yards. You need to get training and practice. Short sights and short barrels don’t matter out to 25 yrds regardless of the gun. It’s the software, not the hardware.

****this is no longer available**** OG bi-color version. Pistol has exactly 50 rounds through it and could pass as new. Has Tru Glo TFX-PRO sights (not cheap) installed and five 10rd magazines total, also all like new. Not much else to describe here. $380 for everything and buyer pays transfer and NICS fees. All state and federal firearms laws apply. I will meet you at any FFL in Monmouth County, with a preference for HGW, Monmouth Arms, Legend, or Keyport Sporting Goods. I will hold until permit comes in as long as payment is made in full upon agreement of sale. No shipping. First person to post “I’ll take it” wins the sale.

Hello everyone, I promised an update and that I wouldn't forget to report back with an outcome. After 2 years of case backlog, 2 different judges, and 2 different prosecutors being assigned my case, and some adjournments, I finally had my day in court today. The chief's decision was overturned by the judge! I was very impressed with Frank Pisano, it was facinating watching him work and question the PD. The officer who did my background and recommended the denial to the chief had no idea what the dismissed agg charge was even for. During that exam, unbelievably after waiting 2 years for this day, the court computer network crashes, and we have to halt the proceeding. It's looking like we're going have to come back another day. Talk about frustration, however the IT staff resolved the issues and court proceeded. I was open and honest about my experience with the DWI (and agg charge), as well as the domestic incident. I had texts between my ex-wife and I where she admits that I hadn't hit her, and had only held her down to protect myself from her attack. My current girlfriend of 3 years came as my witness spoke for me and my character. Also I asked my attorney a question for you guys that everyone seems to want to know. If I apply for another firearm in the future, what do I write on the application where it asks if I've ever been denied? He said write denied but overturned in court. The denial is on my record anyway. Finally, the anticipation, clearing my name, moving on with my life, its finally here. What a relief, holy smokes!

And you have the right not to answer. And when they do they clam up tight and call their attorney. If fact, I believe some departments have it in their contract stipulating they cannot be formally questioned for 24 hours after an officer involved shooting.

It did work. That’s how we got the Bruen decision. Vote for Congressional reps and Senators and a president who will uphold the 2A. President and Senate appoints and confirms federal judges.

They are by no means stupid and they know exactly what they are doing and are extremely well funded. they are trying to buy time. probably the death of a SC justice So now that they have fired their first volley are the 2A groups preparing a correct lawsuit to submit the second this is signed, getting the right litigants who will/have be harmed like in the new lawsuit in NY. I hope Anthony and Nappan talk about this on this weeks podcast

A few things to check off the bat: Is there any crud built up under the extractor claw? - if there is crud under there it can prevent the claw getting full purchase on the rim of the case. Is the extractor claw in good condition? If there is a piece chipped off the extractor claw it is not going to make good contact on the case rim. Is there good tension on the extractor? If the extractor is not pressing in towards the center of the case it can more easily jump the rim. Is the recoil spring still within spec? If the recoil spring is worn and is not applying sufficient forward pressure the slide speed may be too fast and the case may have not released from the sides of the breech before the extractor comes into play. Also, does it happen with the same mag every time, or with a variety of mags? Marking your mags can help here. What ammo are you using? Aluminum case is not as strong as brass and the extractor can sometimes rip through it. Following on from the last point, is there any tell-tale markings on the case that failed to extract? To be sure not to make any additional marks, when the FTE happens, do not drop the slide back over the case to eject it. Pry it out gently with a knife tip or small screwdriver. Do you, or have you ever loaded a round into the breech and dropped the slide onto it? The 1911, along with most other semi-autos, is a controlled feed design. The rim of the fresh round is supposed to slide up the breech face so the rim is already under the extractor. Forcing the extractor to move outboard to skip over the rim is not doing it any good, especially with the internal extractor design found in the 1911.

I thought failures to eject was a feature built in to every 1911??

No kidding. I don't think I've seen this discussed yet ... https://www.foxnews.com/us/fbi-undercounts-number-times-armed-citizens-thwarted-active-shooting-incidents-report

Went to a range this weekend to sight in a rifle and also shot 100rds of reloads (115 and 124). The HK shot flawlessly. I can say that I now trust this gun.

Or we can sit and do nothing...... I don't think there is a right or wrong in this situation, our apps can languish at the court level for months maybe even years who knows!

.

Just be sure to do it correctly. If you file an action and it fails you will be establishing bad precedent forever.

If anyone here in Middlesex County who is either at 90 days or past 90 days including at the court level, have had their money orders cashed, and is interested in taking legal action against the Middlesex County please PM me. Maybe we could brainstorm and come up with something together. If Strikeforce won't lift a finger to help we will have to do it ourselves..

I wonder if I can blow the rattlesnakes away with that!

Had the Echo 755 for about 9-10 years now and never a problem. Always starts on the 3rd pull, always. As noted above, get a frame mounted throttle, not a tube-mounted one; and always wear hearing protection when using.

Got it. My reading comprehension is off sometimes! For what it's worth, I've been carrying in my house recently, but just to get used to it.

I've pretty much carried everywhere it was legal for nearly 50 years. When I was on the job it was basically unlimited. There were about 4 times in almost 50 years I was challenged by another LEO about carrying.. NO PROBLEMS. There were 5 times I volunteered I was carrying in 4 different states. NO PROBLEMS. Remember in most Constitutional Carry states the police dont care where youre from. The worst i had after informing was the trooper telling me, "okay, if youre going to reach over there let me know: Most of the time I carry according to the perceived threat. There are (few) tines I'll carry a 22 or 25 Beretta. Most of my travels I carry a S&W Bodyguard 380. Sometimes a 32 S&W Long (adequate penetration and much easier to control), or a 38 spl J frame.with factory 148 hbwc. Sometimes my James Bond pre-68 PPK in 32 ACP. Sometimes a 2 1/2" Model 66 S&W. I always had the philosophy since I retired that I usually would have a confrontation where I had to get the BG off of me. I'm confident I can do this with smaller guns. Going to Newark, Philly, NYC? I'll carry a G19 or Beretta 92 and a backup. I always carried a backup when I was working. Sounds like a lot of different guns but I'm proficient with all of them. I can shoot a qual score on the HQC with a 22 or 25 Beretta I don't carry when I cut my grass or am working outside. I live in about a zero crime neighborhood. I don't carry in my house. I have loaded firearms strategically placed. I live alone, no kids, and anyone who comes into my house is fully qualified to handle them or knows not to touch them. There are shotguns (hate the term shotties) and rifles readily available. As a very accomplished member on this forum said you really don't know how you'll do until you see the elephant. That goes back to the 60s. But WTF do I know.

Updated 10/12/22. HG = Handgun Green = County has issued Permits Red = County has NOT issued Permits Yellow = County has issued at least 1 permit but there are other issues (see list below) Atlantic County - Yes (Unrestricted, HGs Listed) Bergen County - Yes (Unrestricted, HGs Listed) Burlington County - Yes (Unrestricted, HGs Listed) Camden County - Yes (Unrestricted but limited to HG on Court Order) Cape May County - Yes (Unrestricted) Cumberland County - Yes (Unrestricted) Essex County - No (PD/Court Delays - 2 Judges/Clerks just assigned) Gloucester County - Yes (In person court appearance, Restricted by HG) Hudson County - Yes (Restricted by HG) Hunterdon County - Yes (Unrestricted but limited to HG on Court Order) Mercer County - Yes (Unrestricted, HGs Listed) Middlesex County - Yes (Unrestricted - Must carry 2 pg Court Order) Monmouth County - Yes - 1 (Special case from FPC Lawsuit - Restricted by HG + Additional restrictions) - Court Delays/Additional Investigations on new applications Morris County - Yes (Unrestricted, HGs Listed) Ocean County - Yes (May be Restricted - with extreme restrictions including Car Carry) Passaic County - Yes (In person court appearance, Unrestricted, HGs Listed) Salem County - Yes (Unrestricted) Somerset County - No (Court delays) Sussex County - Yes (Unrestricted, HGs Listed) Union County - Yes (Unrestricted) Warren County - Yes (Unrestricted) - Some permits issued but now court is delaying

I agree with the statement and there were at least one I saw that had no restriction checked but accompanying court order with restrictions including letter must be carried

I don't think anyone is negligent if they choose to or not. I'm in agreement with you, I might have come across different. i just meant it could possibly happen anywhere, also might never happen. My question was (for whoever said it) why carry in the home, but not in the neighborhood. I'm just trying to understand it. Is it safer outside than inside?

[email protected] is the address - you can write up your timeline and see if they can assist. At the very least it gives them ammunition to use to leverage the system.

Update: Form received on 9/30. Brought to local PD the same day. Form picked up from local PD on 10/7. Mailed back to Monroe county Sheriff same day and they received it yesterday 10/11. Received a call today from Monroe county sheriff to set up appointment for pickup. 10/27 10:30am.

Yes. Legal. I have one. Not very useful. Spork of firearms. But lots of fun.

carry as often as you can you cant predict when you'll need it.

I just got done shooting. Put 75rds of mixed 115gr and 124gr reloads with no issues encountered. The gun is very accurate. I was shooting steel at 25yds at it was a bit too easy. I like the trigger way more than the Glock trigger.

https://www.thetruthaboutguns.com/breaking-federal-register-publishes-schedule-for-atfs-firearm-silencer-and-pistol-brace-final-regulations/ They can't "ban it by name"

Currently from what I've seen the new regulations apply only to pistols which are under 26". The proposed points system definitely applies to under 26". Non NFA Others can not be pistols because they over 26". I would assume they would turn into an SBR if they also apply the rules to firearms over 26". Would think if you take the brace off (before it officially becomes a "Stock") it would still be a Non-NFA Other (Others can never have had a stock on it or it permanently becomes a rifle I think). Just my guess based on the limited info been able to find so far. If you look at the worksheet, Section 1 Prerequisites, Item 2 says the weapon must have an overall length between 12 and 26".
