LEOSA requires a photo ID from your agency saying you are or retired from that agency. If you are active that's all you need. If you are retired you need a qualification record from your agency or one indicating you have qualified using the standard of any LE agency in your state. Military LEOS are covered under LEOSA. There is a DoD directive giving guidelines to follow. I've only seen the Air Force and Army policies. IIRC if you are an active military there is a certification letter that must be signed by your commander. There is also a LEOSA ID card issued by the military. If you're Army Google DA LEOSA Directive date 8 Jan 2015. Go to army.mil/opmg for other details. There is no mention of having to have a specific jurisdiction in LEOSA. It says you have to be a sworn officer and have statutort authority to make arrests. There is a lot of confusion who is and who isn't. For example Federal Correction Officers (BOP) do not have a policy for carrying off duty. However they fit the LEOSA requirement because they have a limited power to arrest escaped inmates. Thats how I understand it

A NJ P2P is good only in NJ. An out of state handgun has to be sent to a FFL in NJ as Pizza Bob said. Thats federal law regarding handguns.

If you got drunk from that alcohol and drove a car and killed someone whoever sent you the alcohol could still face liability. You really can't pick and choose which laws you want to be ignorant of. Where do you draw the line if you do? I agree laws can be confusing. Many businesses prefer to not sell certain items to people in states with laws that might put them in jeopardy and that's their option.

My take is its not illegal to purchase pistol ammo out of state without a FID even by internet. Many NJ residents routinely buy ammo out of state. If they can be determined these dealers could face civil liability as internet sellers. The point of purchase is where the dealer charges your credit card AFAIC. The fact is once you possess the ammo bought via the Internet it is legal to possess. If you get a more than 15 rd magazine it's illegal to possess in NJ. If a dealer sells pistol ammo and 30 rd magazines to someone who uses them in a mass shooting, someone will probably sue him for whatever they can get. Being it was an interstate sale that would probably be enough to file the lawsuit in a Federal court. Never heard of this happening but some ammo dealers ask for a copy of the FID to CYA. I can't blame them. Ignorance of any law is never an excuse.

There is nothing wrong with reloaded or remanufactured ammo if it was done by a quality company. The problem is finding a quality company. I don't have any suggestions as I use factory or roll my own.

I agree with PK90. Ammo is one thing. Legal to have or purchase with restrictions. 30 rd magazines are another.

How much are you putting in it? That's one thing they all look at. Do you have a business plan?

Are you the forum police? Failure to respond to a jury notice is failure to appear. I have seen people in front of a judge for failure to respond to a jury duty notice. All on topic.

You can't go wrong getting a Glock 19. It's the best all around 9mm there is IMO. You can get good 9mm ammo now for $12 a box or less. The 9mm Parabellum is a more than adequate SD round. There's one FFL on this forum who's advertising Gen 3 19s for $500 so that fits your budget.

If you give something up of value you gain nothing.

Please read my post. I said failure to appear not failure to appear for jury duty. We have enough people on this forum that try to put words in mouths of others.

T Bill, you know that's impossible as long as gun weight is the same. Do the math.

Please stop with the indict a ham sandwich line. You're just trying to say a Grand Jury is composed of bumpkins not as smart as you are to get off jury duty. I was involved in the criminal justice system for over 30 years and it doesn't work that way. A judge does not need to ask you permission or notify you by certified mail to issue a warrant for your arrest. Any notification sent is merely a courtesy to save you the embarrassment of being arrested. Failure to appear is a contempt of court violation. Thats where the judge determines the probable cause for the warrant, issues the warrant, determines guilt, and sentences. This has been in our system since the 18th century. Nothing illegal about it. I have seen thousands be arrested for failure to appear. No one ever got off by saying they didn't get anything in the mail. There are other amendments and laws than the 2nd Amendment. Being a citizen means doing things that may be inconvenient for you sometimes. You may have gotten away with your behavior so far but it will catch up to you someday. Let us know when it does.

What about the guys who carry full size guns and a BUG 24/7? They all aren't bodybuilders. Back in the 90s the G19 became the weapon of choice for agents who carried personal weapons. Many of them bought 26s when they were introduced in 1995. Hey they were smaller. I know a lot of LEOs that want to carry the smallest gun possible. Some could shoot the 26 as or nearly as well as the 19. Marginal shooters couldn't qualify with a 26 (and didn't want to try to learn how). There were more than a few 26s for sale. That's where I got mine. I'm just not one of the guys who feel a few ounces or inches make a difference. If you do maybe you need to hit the gym as I said. Unless you're trying to fit it in the Lunar Escape Module and trying to get off the surface of the moon.

Sad but true.

Try that on that parking ticket you got. Say it must have blown off the car and you didn't get the failure to appear notice in the mail. Your license gets suspended and a warrant is issued. None of that stuff is sent certified mail.

IMO you should use solids for SD. The 22 isn't a great penetration to start with and ammo like Stingers compound that problem. A solid will penetrate better and if it hits something it can't will stop or ricochet off in another direction. Remember, if forced to use a small caliber for SD, don't fire one shot and see what happens. Fire 2,3, or more depending on the number of assailants. This increases your chance of hitting something vital or at least lowering the bad guy's blood pressure a bit.

Wear one for a week and you will be surprised how balanced you'll be.

Don't just ignore it. You'll just get more. Respond with moved out of state.

I've been involved in a lot of things covered by the media. Never known them to get it 100%.

Carrying a G26 on an ankle is doable. There are many who feel a steel J frame at 20-24 oz weighs too much. They need a 14 oz airweight because 6-10 oz is "too much". A G26 gives you twice the capacity of a S&W 640 and weighs only a few ounces more. If a pound or two bother you, you need to hit the gym more. Ankle carry is not a preferred method of carry AFAIC. I have had to do it at times. I've ankle carried a G26 at least hundreds of times. Was it Clint Smith who said "carrying a firearm should be comforting, not comfortable?

I've been carrying a G26 for nearly 20 years. Tried other guns but nothing has swayed me from it. You can also use your G19 mags in it. However, the G19 is the best all around 9mm IMO. The only real advantage the 26 has over the 19 is the smaller grip and length make it easier to carry in an ankle holster. There is really no difference in concealing q 26 vs a 19 or a 19 vs a 17. An inch or so in length or a quarter of an inch in width doesn't make or break the ability to conceal a gun unless you're trying to fit it in a particular size box. I've carried a gun for over 40 years and Glocks about half that time. Just my opinion.

Thanx, I found that and edited my original post.

Stupid people do stupid stuff. Point a realistic airsoft at someone and see what you're charged with. The article and video refer to a pellet or BB gun not airsoft. It becomes an airsoft on the Go Fund Me page.

If the commander of a military installation authorizes CCW it would most likely be for military personnel and dependents, not everyone with a carry permit.
