Too many people jumped onto supporting this guy without knowing the entire story (which we still don't know). This guy did something to get the police to "interrogate" him for nearly three hours before arresting him. Rather than hold this guy up as a poster boy I would use him as an example of "don't say stuff to worry your Mother so much she calls 911"

It could also be that she didn't have a clue about guns at all, the dead murderer had her get the purchaser ID and she bought the gun. Just goes to show, the whole purchaser ID thing doesn't stop anything According to the links she bought the gun at Cabela's in Hamburg with apparently sufficient identification to satisfy Cabela's she was a PA resident. No firerams purchaser ID needs for PA just proof of residence. She was in fact a NJ resident. I wonder if the deal included dropping PA and maybe NJ state charges? Or is there some hope she may yet get some punishment--- She didn't commit any crime in NJ so there would be no NJ charges. There is nothing to prevent her being charged in PA under state law but it may be easier just to go with the Federal charges. It's quite possible that he did indeed take the gun and they couldn't figure out what to charge her with so they probably charged her with accessory to murder and pled her down to the false statements thing. Their is no Federal murder statute she could have been charged with. To charge her as an accessory would mean the prosecution would have had to prove she knew the guy was going to kill someone with the gun. More expeditious way to charge her with several Federal violations and let her plea guilty to the 1001 violation (false statement). Not an unusual tactic for the US Attorney's office. Do you want to take a chance and beat 20 years in prison or plea to maybe 5? Her sentence will be determined using Federal Sentencing Guidelines.

I'm currently in the final stages of finishing my backround check with a airline over in JFK for a maintenance position. My options are commute daily, or find a crash pad over there for my 4 days on. Tolls will kill me traveling through Staten Island I worked at JFK for awhile and commuted from Ocean County. I worked 1000-1800 and usually an hour or two of overtime daily. Leaving my house at 0800 would put me at JFK before 1000 without any unusual delays. Your start time plays a big part part if it a slight PITA or a major cluster _____. I would go via Outerbridge to Verrazano to Belt to JFK. Leaving at 1900 or 2000 I would go Belt to BQE to Manhattan Bridge crosstown via Canal St to Holland Tunnel to NJTP. Going to work I had to pay the Outerbridge and home a liitle more on the NJTP to get to the Raritan River but it was a lot less than the Verrazano and the trip home was still within the 2 hour time window. A few miles farther home but I was using a company car so that had no impact on me. NJ transit to Penn station. Lirr to Jamaica station. Airtrain to jfk. Penn station to jfk in under 35 mins I had to use mass transit once. PATH to the WTC and then Train to the Plane at the time. Took forever and these things are designed to get you to the terminals. if you need to go to a maintenance facility they are all someplace else and not necessarily easy to get to. That said it may be worth a try.

Basically NJ dropped the charges because *gasp* they felt sorry for him. Actually it was because the PA Police acted like buffoons in arresting him in the first place. I imagine all the arrests for people transporting handguns into NJ for legal purposes are hidden with all those "arrested for possession of a single hollowpoint" arrests

I believe it was Sun Tzu, that said something to the effect of you can fight an organized enemy, but you cannot one that is in chaos or random Maks I think you have it confused with this quote: In the midst of disorders and turmoil in war, while the troops have to fight under chaotic situations, they must remain orderly and in control. In the midst of confusion and chaos in fighting, one must still be able to marshal the troops from all directions and deploy them such that they cannot be defeated. He's saying you can't fight with your troops in chaos. Chaos and disruption is what you try to inflict on the enemy. Don't get me wrong. If there were an invasion of the US there would a lot of resistance movements in many areas of the country as in "Red Dawn". They would be largely ineffective unless there was organization. Basic things like who is in charge, what do we do, can I pass if I don't like the operation that's planned all have to be established. The class president doesn't necessarily take over. How do you fight an enemy that wears no uniform, has no face, and abides by no rules of engagement? You fight it for what it is, an insurgency. Different rules apply. An insurgency that recruits members in other countries, coordinates attacks, and uses the press for publicity is certainly organized.

A hotel is not a residence as in George Revell. Then why were the charges dismissed?

guess you don't remember something called the Revolutinary War. Or Vietnam. Or the Soviets in Afghanistan. All professinal well eqipped armies vs the unorganized citizens. We won our freedom, we pulled out of Vietnam, the Soviets pulled out of Afghanistan. Don't underestimated the power of ordinary citizens Not entirely true. The Minutemen were local militia who got rudimentary training. Early in the Revolutionary War the Continental Army lost most of their battles to the British until Von Steuben came along and established training standards and methods. The Viet Cong were basically wiped out whem they all came out of the woodwork in Tet 68. Along with the North Vietnamese Army they were supposed to be able to get the population of South Vietnam to rise up against the US and ARVN troops. It didn't happen. After Tet 68 the VC were just about non existent. I know I was there. Virtually all major actions with the US were with NVA regulars. These guys were in for the duration unless they got seriously wounded or killed. Many of these NVA were fighting since the French in the 50s. There were a few who had started fighting the Japanese. Yet we still beat them with our draftee army. The NVA never won a major action against US Forces. If you don't want to believe me then read the excerpts from General Giap's memoirs about halfway down the green box here: http://www.snopes.com/quotes/giap.asp The Russians never controlled the countryside in Afghanistan. When we started supplyong the Muhadijin with Stinger missiles the Russians couldn't fly anywhere. It was only after the CIA got the Muhadijin organized and established alliances between groups that the Russians decided to leave. Can an unorganized mob defeat a modern army? Yes if they are willing to take the casualities. There were I think 19 Rangers and Delta soldiers killed in Somalia in the "Blackhawk Down" fight. Yes they made us retreat to our base there. But the US soldiers there killed about 1000 Somaliis (sp?). Professional soldiers are capable of damage far in excess of their numbers. If we can bag 15 geese, 2 bears, 8 deer, countless birds, coyotes, foxes, on their own turf, then surely we could bag us a few thousand assholes on our turf. Well yeah, but...geese, bears, etc aren't shooting back or they are sitting in a tank, aircraft, etc. They have artillery and air support. Can it be done? Yes but not without serious organization.

It's not his home therefore he wouldn't be covered by an exemption. If it was a lease for a week and his name was on it, it would be a legal destination but as it stands, he's just visiting and therefore not legal which consequently breaks FOPA protection. There is nothing in FOPA that says it has to be your home. It says it has to be legal to possess where you leave from and where you are going. 2C39-6 says: e. Nothing in subsections b., c. and d. of N.J.S.2C:39-5 shall be construed to prevent a person keeping or carrying about his place of business, residence, premises or other land owned or possessed by him, any firearm, or from carrying the same, in the manner specified in subsection g. of this section, from any place of purchase to his residence or place of business, between his dwelling and his place of business, between one place of business or residence and another when moving, or between his dwelling or place of business and place where such firearms are repaired, for the purpose of repair. For the purposes of this section, a place of business shall be deemed to be a fixed location It uses words "residence, dwelling and premises" as different kinds of places. His parent's "residence" is his dwelling or premises during his stay here. No money or lease need change hands to make it your residence. If I have two houses and let my daughter live in one full time without paying rent or no lease doesn't she reside there? Isn't it her dwelling? People come from all over to NJ to shoot matches on Sunday. Many arrive Saturday, shoot the match, spend the night at a friend's house and leave on Monday. I can't see any violation here. Its not like you can carry it anyway. Depending on his route he may be able to open carry in some states on the way. Concealed carry if he's going through AZ. Many states allow you to carry in your car without a permit.

How about Spirito's just down the block? They must have come back. Spirito's went downhill in the 70s AFAIC. Went there a few times in the 80s and it hadn't come back. I'll give them a shot sometime based on your assessment. Chris' Hot Dogs on Elizabeth Avenue by the cannon Actually its Jerry's Hot Dogs, I confused it with another place. I've been eating their chili dogs for over 50 years and they have the best hot dog chili ever created. It's been in the same family and they still use the same secret recipe. If you're thinking of smoking hot chili this ain't it. To savor the elegance you must have your dogs with chili, mustard and (raw)onions.

How about state guard or naval militia? Not in NJ.

Good movie, if I want to fall asleep!!!! Well judging from your picks: Night of the Living Dead (either version) Dawn of the Dead (either version) Day of the Dead Return of the Living Dead I Return of the Living Dead II There are no zombies in the movie. Watching Casablanca you have to be able to follow a plot, appreciate good acting, and understand the real life moral and courage messages the movie portrays.

The solution is going to come from people exactly like you because you have the expertise to serve a need that others are willing to pay for. The people who know how to turn a profit and keep others employed are going to be the saving grace of this country John, it's people running small businesses that is going to pull the country out of the economic hole we are in. gunnyr is 100% on this. It hasn't been mentioned but another deal breaker for you is as a private you'd only be making about $1400 a month gross as a private. Not bad if you are out of high school and you have your rent, food, and medical paid for already. I had to pass up a slot in flight school when I was a staff sergeant. E6 was a lot less than I was making on my civilian job and my wife and kids would have had to eat cardboard for 10 months while I was off learning to fly.

There is of course the best movie of all time Casablanca. The movie has something for everyone a love story, action, intrique, and probably the most quoted lines of any movie.

I would detail all this in a letter to NJSP not a phone call. Some say thsi won't get you anywhere but it it won't make it any worse. I grew up in Elizabeth and saw it go downhill as I grew up. The only reason I find to go back there is Chris' Hot Dogs on Elizabeth Avenue by the cannon and lemon ice on 4th Avenue (although I haven't been there for awhile).

so would I be able to do this and not miss work? I went on active duty in 1967, then to the Guard and Army Reserve retiring a year ago in December. Not missing work is the deal breaker for you. Ignoring any extended deployments there are plenty of normal absences from work. Basic is almost 10 weeks I believe and any mos producing school is going to be at least 8 more weeks. A drill weekend is a drill weekend and you must be there, sometimes from Friday night to Sunday afternoon. There's annual training which is 2 more weeks you'd be gone. There are also short term deployments also. One year I had 3 weeks in Europe, came back for two weeks and off to Germany for 3 more weeks. the military is rife with idiots, incompetents, and people I would more likely kick in the nuts than shake their hand. I could not say it any better gunnyr. I started as private, made staff sergeant, got commissioned after 15 years and retired as a lieutenant colonel so I dealt with them on all levels up to two star. It may be requirement that a certain percentage of each rank has to be an idiot or incompetent. I always worked for the government as a civilian. I worked for city, county, state, and federal government. the required percentage of incompetents is at least the same as the military, maybe higher. Join the fire dept! In most cases you'd be busier on the first aid squad.

The Professional. Go for the international edition if they have it. Always have liked this movie. What's the difference with the international edition? "Taken" is my lastest favorite. This genre in not usually what Liam Neeson does but he does it well in Taken.

Clean and lube as you normally would, wrap in an old t shirt, and put it away in a drawer or safe. Unless there is going to be some unusual exposure to humidity there are no special prep needed.

Aim still has them for $69-89. When you add shipping and ffl fees those are all over $100.

It was his father who was shot and not the dealer. Well I guess in your mind the police can just shoot anyone they want and say it was an accident. There is not enough in the article to make a judgement if the cop should be prosecuted. "Well I guess un your mind..." statement clearly exhibits your prejudices. Any and all cops who shoot someone by accident should go to jail like the rest of us would if we were in the same situation! Okay how many times have you served a warrant on a heroin dealer?

Handguns to a different state must be transferred through an FFL. The easiest way to go about this would be to drive down to NC and visit a local dealer with your brother and transfer the guns at the dealer. The dealer will typically charge you a fee for this since they have to do a NICS check and fill out a form. This is leagl and the easiest and least expensive way to do it (bring the guns when you go visit him). The only issue would be how to get the handguns off the NJSP books. I'd call the Firearms Unit and ask them what they would want. At the very least get a receipt from the FFL in NC.

Looks to me like they are pretty reckless the way they hold those pistols below head level and with little regard for where they are pointed.

You might as well order the extractor pin and spring set at the same time.

Old news.

We should take the restraints off of the Hell's Angels and let them go after these gangs. Somehow I can't see contracting one gang to go after another gang as a viable option.

the resale value of Taurus is not very good. That's really relative. My 4" 669 is in excellent condition and I don't think I'd have any problem selling it for $200. I only paid $85 for it when a Smith Model 19 would have cost me over $200 at the time. The Taurus warranty is transferable forever. If you bought a 20 year old S&W, you bought a 20 year old S&W. S&W's lifetime warranty is only for the original owner and that's only over the past 10-15 years. If you want a good quality revolver that has stood the test of time but want to save a little money then I would buy a Ruger. I was addressing the OP's question but I feel Ruger has them all beat. No idea what Ruger customer service is like with revolvers as I've never had one break. That's with 8 or 9 owned over the years. There are S&Ws I own and like but way too many people bad mouth Taurus with no personal experience, they all have had "friends" who had horrible experiences. Maybe so, but Taurus is an excellent value for the price you pay. Many custom revolver gunsmiths will not work with Taurus as a base model for a customer b/c they are more trouble then they are worth to get them to an acceptable level by their standards I can remember back in the 50s and 60s if you brought your Volkswagen to most shops they would refuse to work on a foreign car. I will agree you're better off getting a S&W if you feel you need all kinds of custom work. If a "working" revolver is what you're looking for a Taurus will fulfill your requirements. A gun you spend more money on doesn't mean you will shoot better or defend you better.
