I am not a lawyer, but I think that is a legal ‘bitch slap’ to the State of NJ.

That's an interesting analysis... and I hope it's true. I'm not sure the author even went far enough though. Although Roberts and the other SC justices would understandably feel grateful to the armed agents that protect them... I can't help but wonder if they also harbor some level of distrust in the system that was supposed to offer them vigorous protection, but arguably FAILED. After all, under Federal law, those protestors in front of justices' houses after the Roe vs. Wade leak could (and should!) have been removed IMO for trying to intimidate the justices... yet, they weren't! Some of those protestors were even advertising that they knew where Amy Coney-Barrett's kids attended school. If that's not intimidation, what is? And to have someone fly cross country with a gun and show up in front of Kavanaugh's house with essentially a murder kit in his car? Out of control! I was astounded day after day at how little was being done to protect them. If I, a casual observer, felt that way - can you imagine how the justices themselves felt? It wouldn't surprise me in the least if some SC justices are "newly armed". If (and it's still a big "if") Roberts has a newfound respect for the 2A, I would argue it's NOT because he's feeling charitable towards us normies, but more likely because he himself (and his fellow justices) were left feeling vulnerable and in need of self-defense (in addition to protection from agents).

Koons is the narrow case trying to block the sensitive areas part of A4769. They initially asked for a TRO, preliminary injunction and permanent injunction. Since the exchange of briefs for the TRO, they are now asking that the temporary injunction is granted. This is being run by SAF/FPC/CNJFO/NJ2AS with Jensen as the lead attorney and is being heard by Judge Renee Marie Bumb. Siegel is the much broader challenge to A4769 and other statutes and regulations. This case challenges almost every part of A4769. e.g. A4769 expressly declared parks as sensitive areas, which is duplicative of the Admin Code for State Parks, so if A4769 is unconstitutional in that respect, so is the pre-existing Admin Code. This is being run by ANJRPC with Schmutter as the lead attorney and is being heard by Judge Karen M. Williams. Both these cases were initially filed on the day A4769 was signed by the Governor. Koons is on a slightly faster track, but there is currently only a couple of days difference. NJ had to file their response to Koons last Friday, 12/30/22 and Jensen had to file his reply by yesterday, 1/3/23. The hearing in Federal District Court is tomorrow, 1/5/23 at 11am. The Koons case can be followed here: https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/66677437/koons-v-reynolds/ NJ had to file their response to Siegel last Friday, 12/30/22 as well, but the reply from Schmutter is not due until today, 1/4/23. The hearing is scheduled for 1/9/23. The Siegel case can be tracked here: https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/66677439/siegel-v-platkin/ Parallel to this, NJ has requested that both cases are consolidated. The decision on the consolidation is expected 1/17/23 or soon after.

Interesting article on the insurance requirements in San Jose and NJ by an insurance industry publication: https://www.insurancejournal.com/blogs/law-and-economics/2023/01/03/701434.htm

Here's the brief opposing the motion to consolidate in the FPC Cheeseman case: https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.njd.378098/gov.uscourts.njd.378098.140.0.pdf

Convinced me. Bottom line.....it states NJ went against what Breun said, without any evidence.....should be enough. Guilty til proven innocent, as NJ would say?

I'm not a lawyer, but IMO that response was WELL done...

Jenson's reply has dropped and it's a doozey! He's going straight for the injunction rather than the TRO now. https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.njd.506033/gov.uscourts.njd.506033.29.0.pdf

thx

Just spoke with Mercer County Superior Court. The record’s department confirmed that they have my application and it should be sent up at the end of this week. Also spoke to Nicholas, the judge’s law clerk (very nice by the way), he informed that once the judge is back next week they should be essentially rubber stamping the applications because of the new law and currently he has about 40 applications with him and then however many he receives from records this week. So it looks fairly optimistic for those of us in the courts that we will receive ours within the next 60 days.

In case anyone has a free morning tomorrow: Koon v. Reynolds: "Tomorrow`s (January 5, 2023) 11:00 a.m. hearing on the Motion for a Temporary Restraining Order is converted to an in-person hearing. The hearing will take place in Courtroom 3D, Mitchell H. Cohen Courthouse. So Ordered by Judge Renee Marie Bumb on 1/4/23. (Bumb, Renee) (Entered: 01/04/2023)" Mitchell H. Cohen Building & U.S. Courthouse 4th & Cooper Streets Camden, NJ 08101 856-757-5021

In my opinion, the "bugging out" concept only works if you have somewhere to go and the knowledge to survive once you get there. I have come to the conclusion that bugging out with my family in NJ is not realistic for me. At home, I have security, warmth and supplies. I was once on the road all over NJ. Now I just commute 25 mile each way to work. But I still carry lotsa stuff in my car everyday. My car stuff includes.... Water and nuts and jerky for me for several days if needed. I rotate these provisions several times a year. 2 full changes of clothes, including shoes. In winter, I carry long johns and an old coat. The ability to sleep in my car...camp pillow, space & cuddly blankets. The ability to make fire. The ability to stay dry if forced to leave car... poncho & tarp & paracord. The ability to dig and chop. Hygiene, medicines & 1st aid kit. A big ass backpack to carry all of this. If my travels permit, I have a long gun and ammo in my trunk. Once my PTC comes in, I will add a handgun to the mix.

Congrats. Enjoy carrying on your sidewalk as long as it's not a govt sidewalk

A little laugh while the RINO's s*** their bed.

I felt like this was a good listen even though its clickie type bait. https://youtu.be/TfORuHy_ERw

Get Home Bag would be if you are stranded and need to walk home or are stuck in your car for more than a day. Think of when 95 was shut down last year during snow storm and all those cars where stranded for more than a day without help. Imagine you ran out of gas during that, what would you need/want in that situation? Bug Out Bag is for when SHTF and you need to leave ASAP and get somewhere else because where you are is not safe or will not be safe soon. Some items/categories to consider: Clothing/PPE Food/Water/Fire Shelter/Warmth First Aid/Hygiene Communication Navigation Tools Protection I think your Bug Out Bag would need most of what is in a Get Home Bag, but also more protection as well as more long term food/water/shelter options?

Sarcasm is a language all its own.

I think what @RadioGunner meant was that filings have to be submitted by a due date. That means on or before that date. It is common practice to wait until as late on the the due date as possible so as not to give the opposition any more time than you have to to digest and react to your filing. There are no bonus points for filing 3 days early.

I know people who are really smart but have zero common sense.

1) It's sold as a comp. 2) It's design would not do much to abate muzzle flash. 3) It probably doesn't actually function as a comp either based on the design. It's basically an overly complicated thread protector. I wouldn't concern myself if I were to put it on an AR build. I wouldn't because of #3, but not because I'd be legally concerned.

Someone must have the link to those statistics bookmarked. If so, the Wayback Machine (https://web.archive.org) will have archived the page(s), probably taking snapshots multiple times over the years. That's a really useful tool for finding stuff that used to be on the web, but has been taken down. Unfortunately, it's kludgy for searching; it works much better if you have a link and want to see what was at that link at various times in the past.

Nice work!

You don't want to know!

He was a prohibited person. It does help our cause... actually.

We have some pretty reliable information from a major gun rights activist that says that Murphy had a conference call last week with all the major insurance companies who write in NJ and instructed them to NOT issue liability insurance to CC holders. Here the legislature passes a law that mandates CC liability insurance while on the other hand Murphy makes it illegal to buy it. Murphy is doing everything possible to see to it that his far left administration goes against the constitutional and the Bill of Rights. Hopefully this matter will be brought before the court of appeals.
