You can bring your mail-in ballot to the polling place on Election Day and hand it to a poll worker directly as mentioned in the above posts. This avoids any potential issue with ballot boxes and it is not a provisional ballot. Furthermore, we shouldn't cooperate anymore then we absolutely have to in this mail-in scheme. The Democrats goal is to abolish in-person voting permanently.

Any chance of contacting the Dr. who prescribed the meds originally?

Or hand your mail-in ballot to a poll worker at a polling place on Election Day and it will not be considered a provisional ballot. You "vote" in person but using your ballot received in the mail, not a provisional ballot available at the polling place.

Its not the security of the ballot boxes themselves (yet) but what can happen to ballots between the boxes and daily delivery to the county clerks office. Just adds one more opportunity for something to go wrong, or outright voter fraud, especially in democrat run counties.

Here is the NJgov link on how to vote Nov 3rd in N.J. https://covid19.nj.gov/faqs/nj-information/reopening-guidance-and-restrictions/how-can-i-vote-this-november-how-have-elections-moved-or-changed-in-new-jersey-because-of-covid-19 I think the safest method is: Hand the (properly completed mail-in) ballot directly to a poll worker at a polling place on Election Day. Less chance of any funny business that way and it would not be a provisional ballot. However, as intended there may be lines because of the reduced polling places open, plan accordingly.

The Dems are after the marijuana tax revenue first and foremost.

The OP's problem is the PD he is applying through is requesting a note from a Dr. stating he is mentally fit to own a firearm.

I thought you found a Dr. willing to write a note but thought the price was too high? If you get clearance from a Dr. you shouldn't be denied. However, if the application proceeds without the Dr. clearance as requested that could be used as a reason for denial. The Detective probably knows this and is giving you a heads up. In any case I would find out exactly what the status is of your application as of now. You don't want this to inadvertently be denied. The point is you've submitted the application, answered yes on question #26 now you have to follow through or withdraw the application and forget about owning a firearm in N.J. IMO If you can get it cleared up for $750 out the door count your blessings and move on. Sucks but this is N.J.

So you've submitted the application and answered yes? Therefore, unless it can be withdrawn you'll most likely be denied. If you end up with an FID denial on your record you'll have pay the $750 anyway then reapply to get it cleared Sorry, but if you've found a Dr. that is willing to write a letter satisfying the Middletown PD just fork over and be done with it. Others have paid much more for expungements in order to secure an FID.

I'd list on Gunbroker with Fat minimum bid and see what happens. Let some Glock collector who will appreciate have it. The bidding wars on that site are crazy these days. Current production S&W M&P 9mm EZ's are selling for $6-7-800 regularly. Colt AR's, tactical shoguns also crazy prices.

Dems probably figured best not to push their luck for now. They've already got a good chunk of their wish list: Millionaires tax, permanent corporate tax increase, 5 billion to the pension fund, mail-in voting, gas tax and parkway toll hike, not a bad year. Now they just wait for the mail-in voting to pay off.

Oh, I don't think they're dumb. Murphy is the most dangerous governor N.J. has ever seen. However, I can't see Sweeney bucking Murphy at this point, they're probably amazed at what he's gotten away with the last six months IMO. The mail-in voting is the whole ball game (along with their other changes to voting eligibility;, parolees. illegal aliens, etc). If N.J. Dems win big in November tipping points will be irrelevant.

Its not about the money, just another brick in wall of gun control. And they don't care about getting sued, the goal is get it signed into law and ask questions later. Best case scenario, but highly unlikely, the fees are reduced more inline with inflation. Then Murphy comes back next year with renewable FID cards. If he wins re-election all bets are off, expect a N.J. safe act. Sorry to be so pessimistic.

Right. These people are not stupid, they know those that can will leave and revenues will fall short of projections. The milllionaries tax is just for openers. Increasing the sales tax is next on Murphy's wish list.

I would say its a done deal. Gun permit fees are small potatoes compared to the millionaires tax. Anyone think Sweeney is going to buck Murphy after the rampage Murphy has gotten away with the past six months. They're all probably in awe of him right now.

Suffice it to say, if the legislators agree to the millionaire tax everything else Murphy wants in this budget is a done deal as well.

Multiple attackers at close quarters can happen in HD situations, not much different from urban combat How about best home defense rifle.

I think the Kenosha riots settled the "best" HD weapon argument as far as I'm concerned One kid with an AR scatters a swarming angry mob while being attacked on the ground- Case closed

Another thing against a pump action shotgun for a primary HD: Can female family members handle a pump shotgun. For a primary HD weapon you want something high capacity (10+1 RD in N.J.), able to be operated with one hand, and easy for female shooters to use if necessary. Pump shotgun doesn't fit the bill. The recent riots show they're armed and come in numbers, so time for a serious re-assessment regarding HD weapons IMO. Same goes for home invasions, almost always multiple attackers.

Pump action shotgun would not be my choice for a primary HD weapon. That role goes to a modern semi-auto 9mm handgun. Back up would be an AR rifle. Watch the Kyle Rittenhouse videos and imagine yourself in his place on the ground trying to rack a pump action shotgun. If you absolutely must have a shotgun at least get a semi-auto that you can take to the range and not get beat up by the punishing recoil of a 12 ga. pump action.

That was Chris Christie's going away present to the Dems. What a gift, they get their gas tax hikes automatically yet can forever blame Christie. One of, if not the most, stupid unnecessary things he did. His term was up in a few months, he didn't have to do anything, he could have let Murphy and the Dems own the gas tax hike, but noooo..

The FID in hand is not necessary to order firearms online. The item gets shipped to an FFL who retains possession until the transfer. Simply complete the purchase online, item is shipped to your FFL who then holds it until your paper work is ready to complete the transfer/NICS process. (Note; some online sellers may ask for a copy of your FID, its not required and I would avoid them). I recommended Monmouth Arms, because they will hold online purchases free of charge I believe and do the compliance work;. One stop shopping. As for 5.56mm ammo it can be had, although prices are way up. This seller usually has a good supply and doesn't hassle N.J. buyers https://www.gunbroker.com/item/877472498 If you sign up at GB a completed item a search can be done for final sales prices

AR-15 rifles can still be found online although prices are at premium these days. Try searching https://www.gunbroker.com or https://gun.deals Have it shipped to http://www.monmoutharms.com for the transfer and compliance work. If I was in the market right now I'd grab this Bushmaster M4 LE trade-in. https://www.gunbroker.com/item/877704787 Excellent condition for a trade in: Side sling swivel, light, detachable carry handle, chrome lined M4 barrel, can't believe this hasn't sold yet.

http://www.monmoutharms.com would be my first and only choice for a gun shop, others can help with ranges. Please don't listen to the dinosaurs recommending revolvers as a first or primary self defense handgun. Revolvers: The good- Classic beautiful pieces of craftsmanship (vintage models at least), badass looks, accurate, hold or increase in value.. The bad: Low capacity, heavy, high recoil (especially .357 Mag), difficult to reload in high stress situations, long heavy DA trigger pull, pricey ammo. Hobby/range gun to add to your collection later on okay, first defensive handgun no, IMHO To order online try https://gun.deals and https://www.gunbroker.com

Yeah, the media dumped that whole story ASAP. If the circumstances were turned around the Dems would have been falling over themselves to pass laws named in honor of the victim.
