Gallows humor.

She’s still dead. Where can I piss on her grave?

Concealed is concealed.

You might want to get that in writing from an official NJSP email address or on headed paper.

UPDATE: I sent an email to Jamell Rosario (who was the instructor for my requalification) at 6 AM this morning asking for his assistance in this matter. Mr. Rosario is apparently a NJSP DSG assigned to Firearms Investigation Unit in Trenton, and as such would be eminently qualified in regard to the NJ Permit to Carry requrements. He phoned me at 7:10 AM (unbelievably quick response, imo). He told me that requalifying PtC holders who are NJSP applicants (i.e., no local PD) ARE NOT REQUIRED TO SUBMIT THEIR COMPLETED SP182 FORMS TO *ANY* AUTHORITY. He said that NJSP has no plans to proactively audit the list of PtC holders who are NJSP applicants to confirm requalification per CCARE requirements. His advice to me was to complete my SP182a (list of handguns intended to be carried) and keep that with my SP182 so that I could produce both documents in the event of an incident. He did not indicate that I should keep those documents with me when I carry, but I will probably keep the originals on file at home, and make copies to keep in my car, just in case. Mr. Rosario also told me he would give Dave Peterson at Woodbine a call to "straighten him out". It might be interesting to be a fly on the wall for that conversation... Many thanks to DSG Rosario for clearing up this matter!!!

SCOTUS refused to grant an injunction, so the process continues. Appealed to the full 7th, and then it will get petitioned to SCOTUS. It sucks for those in Illinois, but actually granting the injunction would have most likely made it less likely SCOTUS would have taken up the case quickly. With similar cases in multiple courts, I think they're waiting on them to reach SCOTUS together and combine them instead of piecemeal solving this

I'm sure you're absolutely right. Thanks for setting me straight.

Stupid != Ignorant

I'm pretty sure the 4th Degree felony for possession of a "high cap" mag is a real deterrent to anyone planning on shooting a bunch of people. Oh geez I'll get life in prison (I don't remember or even care if we have the death penalty) but I can't bare to stand the thought of those extra 18 months. I know interest balancing goes against rights, but god damn this interest balancing is beyond asinine. We all know the real intent is to bait people into felonies, just like the whole hollow point thing, it doesn't do anything but is a trap for normal people hoping to snag them and disenfranchise them of their rights

I carry the same gun regardless of the weather. Rule of thumb is to only have one clothing layer concealing the firearm regardless of how many layers you are wearing. Sometimes that layer may change - ex: wearing a coat, over a sweatshirt, over a tshirt and going from house to outside to car to outside to house - you want to tuck the sweatshirt behind the pistol while the coat is over it, then pull the sweatshirt over the pistol again as you unzip or remove the jacket. If the sweatshirt comes off, the the tshirt is pulled over the pistol to conceal it. As you go the other way, clothes are tucked in again so only one layer conceals. This as all based on carry position as well so the process may need to be adapted to fit your personal needs. For example - I carry AIWB, ergo an unzipped jacket does not conceal for me, so the sweatshirt needs to be pulled over the gun as soon as I unzip. However someone carrying on the hip, an unzipped jacket may work just fine without the need to cover with the sweatshirt, at least until the jacket is removed.
