You can say that but the cop is going to wonder why you just don't give a straight answer. I know there are a lot of people here who think LEOs just sit around figuring out ways to screw regular people. I can assure you that isn't the case

I said there are probably comparable laws about lying to LE under state laws but I'm not familiar with them. If you don't like statutes like that you should contact the legislators. I didn't write the statutes. I have arrested and got people convicted of 18USC1001.

There is no need to inform under the circumstances you relate. If the cop asks tell him the truth. the cop doesn't want to waste any more time than you do. All of this "why do you you ask", "I have nothing illegal in my vehicle", trying to change the subject, etc is only going to cue the cop's radar and going to want to make him or her want to find out what you're hiding. Doing crap like that may be a way to talk your way into being arrested. Tell the cop you are on the way to the range and as long as you are pointed in the general direction of where you are going and are transporting your guns and ammo properly you shouldn't have any problem. There are all these stories of being tossed by the police on the way to the range. Does anyone have one that's verifiable? You can "take the Fifth", "I refuse to answer on the grounds...." but you can't lie. Do it to a Fed and that's a violation of 18USC1001, False Statement, a 5 year felony. I imagine there are comparable state statutes.

That is pretty much a BS reason whoever made it up. Military surgeons have been removing much more jagged and sharper pieces of metal shrapnel for over 200 years since the invention of the exploding artillery shell. The Black Talons had what appeared as saw teeth on the edge of the hollowpoint. Someone said they would "cut through someone like a buzzsaw...", which, of course, they did no and acted like a hollowpoint bullet. When the hollowpoint law was first passed I have personal knowledge that some were charged with only possession of hollowpoints. These were circumstances where the bad guy had the chance to ditch his gun but not the spare rounds in his pocket. The AG put out instructions to stop doing this and only use it as an add on charge. This is the way I've seen it used for over ten years. I have heard the story of someone being arrested for a hollowpoint rolling around the floor of his car or forgotten in their pocket for years. Please show me proof that this happened (newspaper article, police or court document). Not "well Joe at the gun shop told me...". I have heard this "arrested for one hollowpoint only" stuff for years and no one has been able to provide proof of any such arrest occuring. I'm really anxious to see this "arrested for one hollowpoint" case. As was said before if you are somewhere where you are legally possessing hollowpoints, you can use them. The laws only limit where you can possess them not how you use them. Laws usually spell out what you can't do not what you can do. There is no case law on this as no one was charged with possession of hollowpoints in a legit SD shooting.. They are legal to possess as outlined. Yes they are used as a add on charge in a crime.

Can you tell me where I can find that in print?

The NJ RPO Carry Permit has nothing to do with LEOSA other than it can serve to identify you as a RPO and show you qualified. The NJ RPO Permit was started a couple of yeras before LEOSA was passed. You can go with a RPO permit and aa stack of copies of the statute to Dick's and they could still say we accept the FPID only. If they want to have a more restrictive policy than state law that's their option. Well it should. I'm sure the OP will correct me if I'm wrong but it appears he retired from NYPD and now lives in NJ. The NJ AG put out a policy letter regarding LEOSA a few years ago which says NJ recognizes it (like they have an option to ignore federal law) but if you're a NJ resident and a retired LEO you have to get a RPO permit. NJ says Federal law applies unless you're a NJ resident? I dont see you'll see any test cases on this as the NJ AG doesn't want egg on their face. If the OP carries his retired ID and proof of qualification he would be covered under LEOSA. He has chosen to get the NJ RPO permit to keep anyone off his back. $50 a year can prevent hours of BS. Under LEOSA its supposed to be any qual course used by any LE agency in your state of RESIDENCE. The NJ RPO permit doesn't restrict you to the guns you qualify with. You can qual with a Glock and carry a revolver. LEOSA requires you qualify with "the same type of action" that you carry. You can qual with Taurus da revolver and carry S&W; qual with a 1911 and carry a Browning HP. To cover all bases I qual with a S&W revolver, a 1911 (SA Auto), and a Glock (striker action pistols have been catergorized as DA since the Glock was imported nearly 20 years ago). LEOSA says you can also carry hollowpoints but NJ says no. NJ apparently feels Federal law doesn't apply here.

Just checked and you should be able to use carry permit. 2C;58-3.3b says FPID, PTP, or carry permit to purchase,handgun ammo. Don't expect to convince the clerk at Dicks. He was told FPID only I'm sure.

Didn't you get a FPID when you got your RPO permit?

Your plan sounds fine AFAIC.

I learned in Vietnam in 1968 that the easiest way to retain a empty mag is to just stuff it in your shirt. That's when you have the luxury of doing so. However, in many military combat situations and in all LE applications I'm with HE on this. Drop the mag it is of no use to you.

I'm not saying Iggy is wrong about M1 carbines being used in a holdup shortly before they wrote the law as the reason they were added to the list. It wasn't in 1993 though. The NJ AWB was signed by Florio in January or February 1990 and went into effect May 1, 1990.

There are knowledgable people on this forum that will disagree with this but it is not only by name but "M1 carbine type". The law goes on to ban the Plainfield Machine and Universal M1 Carbines. The riots were in the 1960s and the riots in Plainfield broke out a couple of days after the Newark riots started. Plainfield machine who made the carbine was actually located in Middlesex. The carbines were stolen the first day of the riots in Plainfield. None of these were recovered AFAIK. While they had the carbines they didn"t have a supply of ammo AFAIK. M1 Carbines were not banned in NJ until the Florio ban. I have personal knowledge they were being sold by dealers in NJ weeks before the ban went into effect. Keep in mind the term "assault weapon (or rifle or pistol or shotgun) was not invented by Clinton, Pelosi, or Obama. While it had been in use by some it was popularized by the gun industry, with a lot of help from the gun press in the early 1980s. It wasn't an armory but Plainfield Machine which manufactured new carbines with the parts same as the GI. The Universal, while similar in appearance, was a much different and cheaper design. The linked photo you posted is Malcolm X. He died in 1965. He had nothing to do with the 1967 riots. There was a much publicized photo by Life magazine from the riots. It was a black guy (you couldn't see his face) with a M1 carbine that the photorapher was a sniper. Some have said this was staged. M1 carbines were popular for holdups way before 1993. They were easier to acquire as they were a long gun and could be concealed under a raincoat (moreso one with a folding stock).

I was issued two brand new weapons from 1967 to 2009. The first was a M16E1 as a SP4 in Vietnam and the other a M9 about 1991 as a Major. I'm sure they didn't want to spend the time or money training everyone how to shoot full auto. Not a big issue as the uses for full auto in LE are very limited. If you wanted a full auto weapon issued in the agency I worked for you first had to be an expert shooter at a minimum and complete 3-4 long days of training. Add to that at least 1000 rds plus a year to maintain proficiency. All of that is expensive even for the Federal government.

$60 a hundred would be a decent price in normal times. We're talking ammo that's over 45 years old but if its still bright and shiny it should still be good. Be sure its not reloads. Military ammo of that era had a good dab of primer sealant. Usually red or green. Expect so so accuracy.

Being free i don't think that bothered them. Most military small arms are carried a lot and shot little as I'm sure you know.

Was this willed to you? Is the revolver in NJ?

Do you feel the same way the press didn't miss the opportunity to associate handguns and a shotgun with criminality? You were the one to put the emphasis on "assault type", the press didn't. Would you have felt better if they said "a semi-auto magazine fed rifle similar in appearance to current military rifles". They even said "assault type" not "assault rifle". You are very much entitled to feel any way you want to but its a term very much in common useage even among many people on this forum who feel the need to add muzzle brakes in lieu of flash surpressors and pinned telescoping stocks to make their rifles look as "assault type" as possible while staying in the constraints of the useless AW law.

You are apparently upset that an "assault type" rifle was found at the suspect's residence. I'm sure if it were a bolt or lever action they would have just said rifle. I'm not "effing" anything.

I suggest starting simple also. You get to learn more about reloading that way and while the production is lower than a progressive there are more chances to catch mistakes. The cash outlay is significantly less and if you feel the need get a progressive. You will always have a use for a single stage press.

So we should support someone who tried to get someone murdered because he was a "gun owner".

Victimless crimes is not the primary reason for jury nullification. The conviction rate for felonies in the Bronx is in the mid 40s and only about 20% of those get jail time. The US Attorney's Office has a conviction rate overall of over 90% and about 80% get jail time. This is not because the Bronx DA is incompetent or the cops are making bum arrests. The average citizen in the Bronx knows that if they stay out of Rufus the drug dealer's business he will stay out of theirs. They are concerned about retaliation. If you blanket support jury nullification you're supporting letting many "genuine" criminals go free. You can say you're for jury nullification for "victimless" crimes like simple possession and prostitution. The fact is virtually none of these crimes are heard in front of a jury, usually just heard in front of a judge. You can dream about using jury nullification for one of these crimes but you'll be dreaming a long time before you see one in front of a jury. Your idea is noble but the fact is very, very few defendants are wrongfully accused. Does it happen? Yes, but prosecutors on all levels are way too busy to take iffy cases to trial.

They were most likely detailed there. Their true feelings on the matter are not relavent. If the POTUS, whoever he may be, wants DC Metro to send over 50 officers in Class A uniform he gets them.

No artillery ranges at Earle.

The guy who may go to prison for 5,10, or 20 years sure take the jury seriously. So do victims who've been robbed, beaten, or raped. I suppose some of you guys who throw around jury nullification would feel different if you were a victim. Why don't you tell the judge to screw off while you're at it. Let's see where that gets you. Being that someone mentioned it, a LEO does not automatically "get off". The judicial system is far from perfect but it is not a joke.

NJ Air Guard has a facility at AC. Although its a fighter unit its common for Air Guard units to play host to one another.
