Was this not covered in your use of force class that you took to get/keep your permit?

I wouldn't say anything other than something similar to "get away from us" while making as much space as possible between us and him. Back away. Cross the street. Leave the area. The other person continues to close the distance faster than you can make space? Move garments to get access to your holster and get a grip on the firearm, but don't draw. Continue to back away/make space/make efforts to leave. At that point you haven't drawn, you haven't brandished, but it should be obvious to the other person you're armed without you having said so.

Why are you wanting to escalate the confrontation? In public, you have the duty to retreat if you know you can do so safely. The better course of action is to deescalate and remove yourself from the confrontation. If the aggressor pursues you and becomes an immediate threat of death or serious bodily harm, you are within your rights to draw your handgun and point it at them, firing a shot or shots if necessary. How do you expect to benefit from declaring having a gun? It seems like an alternative to saying "I know Kung-fu!"

Reminds me of a line i used when someone would pull a knife on me. I'd pull gun, not point it at.anyone, hold it in the air and ask, "what do.you think.this is, a pretzel?".

I get it. One of the things in NJ is that you need to give them an opportunity to stop what they are doing that makes you feel threatened, if doing so would not put you in unreasonable harm. Leave me alone should cover most situations, IMO.

Instead of saying "get away from us", I would use "leave us alone." It is applicable in more situations, and someone may have a right to be near you, and you are demanding that the leave an area they me legally be allowed. They do not have a right to bother or harass you and you saying "leave me alone", implies they are doing or are about to do something to you that they should not be, for witnesses in earshot to hear.

@High Exposure Damn thats nice

Nicely done! The MM Wartime is awesome. You will be very happy with it! It’s a great gun, backed by a great company based right here in NJ. I can’t wait to see it all decked out! My Wartime got a custom paint job from Pete and I swapped a couple parts to my preference (a different brace, an ambi-selector, an oversized mag catch, a SF muzzle device, and a Unity vert grip)

A few kind and pro 2A Sheriffs departments in PA offer the PA CCW permits to NJ residents who have their NJ CCW. You can't get a PA CCW without showing your NJ permit. Remember that those PA County Sheriffs are NOT obligated to issue permits to non residents! Most counties in PA will NOT issue non-res CCW! Please take the time to thank the Sheriff who issued your permit! They deserve our thanks and gratitude!

An update from Mr Smith and video of the mental gymnastics the judges are performing to make it work.

You are correct about the legality and the process. However, when >90% (my estimate, don't ask me for a list :-) of the breeches of our constitution go unchallenged, that reality demands recognition as the existing state of affairs. Something needs to be done that fetters both the adminstrative state and the idiotic, self-perpetuating legislature, simultaneously.

I know this is an older thread, but I just got my PA carry permit from Pike County Sheriff. PAINFULLY simple process. Applied online late Wednesday evening. Notified of approval Thursday morning. Picked up the permit today (Friday) at noon. NJ needs to change shit up...

Got to finger bang it here at SHOT Show. Video will be coming.

Winchester has caused quite a buzz at Shot Show '24 with the introduction of their new Ranger 22 lever action takedown. Over the past few years, lever action rifles have enjoyed a resurgence in popularity, probably due to cowboy action shooting blowing up all across the USA. Both Marlin and Winchester offered lever action 22s up until 2008. After Winchester's 2007 decision to discontinue the 9422, Remington followed suit and shelved Marlin's popular (but pricey) 39A, leaving only Henry's offerings to fill the void. Winchester has stepped up with an affordable handsome "car-bean" made with modern materials and manufacturing methods, most notable, the receiver is made from billet aluminum. The Ranger sports a 10 deg target crown, three position hammer and adjustable trigger. They put some thought into this. I really enjoy shooting my 1972 vintage Marlin 39D, however, its value has increased substantially (like 6x what I paid) since I bought it a decade ago. Now I'm reluctant to bring the 39 to the range for others to shoot, it has already hit the ground twice letting noobs have a go at it. After the dust settles, I just might get a Ranger, Winchester priced it at $419 MSRP, with an eventual street price expected to be around $375. Unlike Winchester's other lever guns made in Japan by Miroku, the Ranger is manufactured in Turkey by the same company that makes their Wrangler line. Time will tell if its worth buying.

he'll use the alec baldwin defense. i can't believe people think guns go off by themselves...... oh yea......they'll try to bury this. it won't go against us since the guy was a retired leo.........

I carry AIWB when driving (and permitted to). I do not like leaving my gun anywhere that’s not attached to me. In the event I have to leave the vehicle not of my own volition I’d rather not leave gun for someone else. Good thread here with some discussion on this topic:

i think that they can/will pop ya with constructive intent. not sure though.

The relevant part of the statute says: The relevant part of the administrative code says: Note that both refer to the capacity of the magazine only, not the gun as a whole. Therefore 6+1 is allowed.

I tried mine out last night (pump action). The damn thing jams too much. It doesnt eject the shell cleanly or there is enough room and the shell gets stuck. Not sure if it just an issue of breaking it in or more oil.
