Unfortunately, Lots of things are unconstitutional. With that said, respectfully, I'm happier knowing a guy who can't hit a target more than a couple feet away isn't blasting away next to my wife and kid. Part of being a responsible gun owner is knowing how to handle the gun you carry. There is nothing keeping you from shooting the current gun you have with better profiency. Dry fire, take a class, practice. That should be your focus.

But if you can't hit more then a few feet away with it then why are you carrying it? I hope I don't have loved ones behind your target. Very irresponsible in my opinion. Sign up for a class.

This is a terrible attitude. Carry a gun you can actually shoot.

My favorite sentence from the article A combination of a proliferation of guns, "stand your ground'' states, concealed carry permit holders and a growing lack of confidence in police to protect communities appear to be fueling a spike in incidents of U.S. citizens intervening in what they perceive to be crime... As if this wasn't clearly a crime lol.

It took me a while to figure out how to shoot straight. I was shooting for about a year before I did. It was actually @Mr.Stu and @Zeke that I shot with that helped. Find experienced shooters and take their advice. Shooting low left is the standard anticipating recoil and tightening your grip before pulling the trigger. Unload the gun, dry fire, and watch your red dot. It will give you feed back right before it is fired.

Also received a letter that says if I move the permit needs to be surrendered. Looks like I'll be going through this process again in a year.

I don't think this is true at all. If that was the case they wouldn't be dragging their feet at permits, ccw etc.

I imagine alot of this is regional. If I got pulled over In Piscataway I imagine I'd get a different reaction than if I'm pulled over in Newton.

Dry fire pays dividends. Buy some snap caps and practice keeping a proper sight picture while pulling the trigger to the rear of the gun. I always read trigger placement isn't as important as it's preached. Depending on the size of your hand, fingers etc it all changes. Your goal is to pull the trigger to the rear while keeping proper sight picture. A common mistake is shooting low left if you're a righty. That has to do more with tightening your hand rather then where your trigger finger is. A solid grip from your support hand can help. I'm sure someone will chime in with places in south jersey for classes, I'm just not familiar with it.

How long have you been shooting? Do you have a picture of a target you shot at?

Does us law shield only handle strictly self defense situations? Their website is a bit muddy in my opinion. Does it cover wrongful arrest? Maybe a cop misidentified Hornady as a hollow point, or a cop makes a mistake with some other statute.

The sticky says Duty to inform and Insurance requirements do not take effect until July 2023. has this been updated?

I'm also not gunna lie, It will feel very weird legally walking around with a concealed carry. It will definitely take some getting used to.

I actually just googled it out of pure curiosity. Has this been addressed? I'm not a big drinker but I occasionally have one or 2 out with dinner.

Yeah, my whole day would be ruined. I'm carrying for the first time tomorrow. I'm in food sales so I'll be on the road alot. I screenshotted the places I'm allowed to be to avoid any issues. We can carry and be at places that have alcohol no? Or can you just not carry cause you actually will have a drink?

Cool, I wanted to make sure the shrinking down was sufficient. I will probably do all of these as well. Thank you

Confession: when I was 17 no one ever taught me maintance on a car. Apparently my car was leaking oil. Engine seized about 2 months into having it. Now I check oil every 2 weeks at the gas station.

When it comes to carrying the accompanying paperwork, under what situations can they ask to see it? I imagine you would have to be involved or suspected of a crime? Similar to demanding id?

How are you guys carrying the accompanying sheets. I have to have 3 large sheets with me. I'm debating folding them and laminating them and just cutting it open in the rare occasion someone needs to see it.

Is printing illegal? I'll be good for winter but will need something smaller come summer.

Any updates on concealed vs open? Not that I would open but unfortunately I think I occasionally print (I'm buying bigger shirts and a different holster to hide it). I'm also probably just staring at it and it's something no one else would ever notice.

I'll reach out to you guys beforehand so we can all get in the same squad. I could always use some tips!

Anyone here go to old bridge for competitions? I'm going this Saturday for the steel knockdown match. First time doing it. Would love to meet some people.

Can we get a sticky with this info? I'm having a hard time even keeping up with what's legal and what's not.
