You can’t make an appointment to have an emergency. It’s not something you can schedule - and you don’t get a vote as to where or when you are going to be a victim. That decision is up to predators. About all you can do is to make some choices that lower your chances of being a target, but realistically, all you can do is be prepared. If you are doing a threat analysis of neighborhoods, areas, regions, etc… that is fine. But that should be a pure go/no-go analysis. Not a go armed/no-go. I mean, seriously - If you wouldn’t go there without a gun because it’s too dangerous, then don’t go there with a gun. Just stay away.

Will try to make it tomorrow, most likely early. Will bring clays. Also trying to get a newbie to come.

Have fun all Really wish I could go. Maybe next time. Baby due any day now!

I was able to change my plans for tomorrow so now Cindy and I will be there with a thrower, hunting license, clays, and the other stuff. See everyone tomorrow

I won't be doing any shooting for the next few weekends. Working on a big home improvement project. Y'all have fun, and don't shoot your eyes out kids.

Another vote for Slip 2000. My go to grease is TW 25.

Anyone catch this? https://youtu.be/XLQj39GyttQ

The courts job is to issue the permit. It’s the job of the PD to determine if the applicant meets the qualification, has a clean background, and good references (that part irritates me, but that’s another discussion). The court has nothing to do with deciding a bench mark’. They are no more experts in firearms qualifications than I am in underwater basket weaving. The court needs to focus on doing their job regarding issuing permits.

The court doesn't get to make that determination, which is by and in itself subjective, a clear violation of Bruen.

If any of you live in Ocean County and have the infamous Gizinski "sensitive places" court order, good news. Just received a court order from Judge Ryan that vacates & rescinds that order. Just email his law clerk [email protected] and ask. I got mine in less than a week in the mail. No appearance or lawyer.

Right?! The court order was to carry a extra piece of paper that states my permit says I can carry the gun I qualified with it's possibly the dumbest thing I have ever had to do in my life.

My PD told me they would give me a case number to use when enrolling for prints. So, I dropped the application off, they gave me the case number, I did my prints out of state, and the PD got them quickly. Also, I don't know that its a requirement to sign the mental health form in front of an officer. However, I asked ahead of time because one little mistake can put you right back at the beginning of the line. My PD said sign it with them and they will sign as witness. They were very helpful. Not all PDs are like this, I know.

Well, the day has finally arrived. Picked up my PTC today from Scotch Plains PD in Union County. App was submitted on 8/15 so little over 2 months.

I think it's fine if people want to carry "everywhere", but I reject the notion that suddenly because the SC gave us the Bruen decision that every place is now a potential shootout waiting to happen. I chose to live where I do because it's safe. There are no shootings, murders, or violent crimes here (and in my lifetime there never have been), so there's absolutely no reason for me to carry when I'm walking the dog. You can play any "what if" game you'd like, but i'm statistically more likely to get hit by lightening in this town than am I am to get hit by a bullet. I don't live my life in fear. There are places i go that i'll absolutely carry, but there are many that i won't. I've survived this long without the option to carry, so IMO I'm adding a new measure of security when needed. Carry if you want, but don't pretend that we're somehow being negligent if we don't.

Things you can do with a NJ PTC even if this bill passes: get a PA non resident which we could not prior, take a walk in the neighborhood carrying. Not much but at least I have a permit when the bill gets signed into law. A federal judge could suspend it like the one in NY. Heck, because NJ & NY are blatantly pissing on SCOTUS, the justice assigned to our region could write a one pager ordering the states to follow their direction in Bruen. On its face, this bill is 100% un-constitutional, it may not even need long drawn out court cases.
