Are others legal in free states? Are others legal in restrictive states?

Do you answer q27 no if you answered no to q26? Or leave it blank? (27) If answer to question 26 is yes, does it make it unsafe for you to handle firearms?

For eyes, race, hair, complexion, etc do you what are the acceptable options and and do you write it out compltely or use a standard abbreviation? Ie if I have blue eyes and brown hair do I put BLU and BRN like whats on drivers licenses, or write out Blue and Brown? Seems trivial, but could be used to deny the permit if someone in the chain of approvals was predisposed to do so.

Nappen mentioned that if you purchase more than 2K rounds at one time, the dealer must call NJSP to report it. Likely nothing happens to you other than being put on a list.

Nappen said the same thing. Only the permitting process mentions specific guns. But the laws say that if you have a permit, you can carry any legal handgun you own. He also said that doesn't mean you can't get in trouble and would have to fight it, if you had on you a different gun than on the permit. He also highly recommended getting trained and documentation on any handgun you might use anyway. One less worry thing the prosecutors can use against you.

FYI, Its actually not 3 copies. Its 3 original aapplications. Each signed in ink, and each notarized. You can't make 2 copies of the original. Must be double sided. Per Nappen.

Anyone have any experience or recommendations on a Smart Scope with laser range finder and ballistic computer built in?

Any update on magazine limits for NJ or not yet?

For online handgun ammo, if they ship to NJ, they will require copy of FID and sometimes also copy of DL.

And then we have a 22yo with no formal training hitting 8/10 at 40 yards under stress.

Many people mentioned or recommended the book Lights Out by Ted Koppel. I recently listened to that on an RV trip and it certainly paints the picture that extended power outage is certainly very possible. It mentioned a book called One Second After by William R. Forstchen several times. I just finished listening to that book and found it to be much more thought provoking in regard to prepping. It does a very good job of going through a SHTF situation, in this case an extended power outage caused by a multipronged EMP attack that wipes out the entire US National grid. It details what realistically might happen, how people would likely behave, and what situations you can quickly find yourself in, and chronicles it as it progressively gets worse. About a 1/4 the way through I realized I should take notes about things I could do to prepare. Wish I had started earlier. I highly recommend you read or listen to it (and take notes). It is available on Book, Kindle and Audible. It is also available for free on YouTube.

I saw a discussion elsewhere and someone mentioned that in NJ you can only carry 10rounds. First I've heard of it and doesn't make sense to me, but you can conceal carry more than just the mag in the gun right? Ie, you can conceal carry a mag in a mag carrier on your person along with your cc gun.

These seem to be the most popular positions for CC. What are the pros and cons of each and how and why do you carry a certain way?

How do you CC comfortably? What do you wear, what should you look for, what works for you, what didn't work for you, etc? Assume we are total noobs (we are) and know nothing.

Are flash cans considered flash hiders (legally)? I know they don't really hide the flash, but direct it forward, but considering it has the word flash in it, who know how NJ will perceive it. Also would you recommend one as a muzzle device on a self defense weapon inside the house? If not, what would you recommend. Assume 5.56.

Wouldn't this ruling plus the 14thA make it so that all states who have CCW permits be reciprocal?

6. Written proof of qualification and ownership with the handgun(s) you intend on carrying if your application is approved. Does this mean you need to own and train with all of the guns you want to CCW prior to applying for CCW? What if you want to use a new one after you get your CCW permit?

From NJ AG: "In the wake of the U.S. Supreme Court decision striking down a New York law requiring people to demonstrate a particular need in order to get a permit to carry a handgun in public, Acting Attorney General Matthew J. Platkin today announced a directive clarifying requirements for carrying firearms in New Jersey. Attorney General Directive No. 2022-07 clarifies that while the Supreme Court decision prevents New Jersey from continuing to require a demonstration of justifiable need in order to carry a handgun, it does not eliminate the enforcement of other permitting requirements under State law. “I want to make it perfectly clear that carrying a handgun without a permit is still illegal in New Jersey and applicants must satisfy all other statutory and regulatory requirements – including a thorough background check – before obtaining a permit to carry here,” said Acting Attorney General Platkin. “New Jersey is leading the way by taking commonsense action to protect our residents and law enforcement officers from the daily threat of gun violence ­– and the Supreme Court decision will not change that.” The Directive clarifies that in reviewing an individual’s application to carry, law enforcement agencies must continue to ensure that the applicant satisfies all requirements under the law, except that the applicant need not submit a written certification of justifiable need to carry a handgun. Before issuing a carry permit, law enforcement agencies must continue to: ensure that an applicant is not subject to any of the disabilities that by law would prevent them from obtaining a permit to purchase a handgun or firearms purchaser identification card; conduct a background check to confirm that the applicant is qualified to carry a handgun, including by ensuring that the application is, among other things, endorsed by three reputable people who have known the applicant for at least three years and can verify that the applicant is a person of good moral character and behavior; and ensure that an applicant has demonstrated that they are thoroughly familiar with the safe handling and use of handguns." https://www.njoag.gov/acting-ag-platkin-issues-directive-clarifying-requirements-for-carrying-firearms-in-public-in-wake-of-supreme-courts-decision/

Not heavy, but not a gym buff. I prefer tighter fitting t-shirts, but would probably change that. I like the Red Dot option on the XD Mod 2. All of my other guns have RDS. I handled a XD-S and in one hand it felt awkward due to width, but in 2 hands it felt fine for some reason. I definitely like the extended mag better as I don't have small hands. Did not get a chance to shoot it. RTSP did not have any I could rent to try.

I like the grip safety of my 1911. Thoughts on a CCW with a grip safety like Springfield XD or S&W Shield EZ? Other things to consider when considering a CC gun?

Probably the fastest way to expedite them changing the process would be for someone who has the means to apply, get denied and then file a lawsuit and see it through. If you do, kudos. Not all of us can do that.

So what happens to those who had already legally owned armor?
