You can transport any firearms to and from one residence to another, residence to business, to a range, and a FFL without a NJ FID. Having a NJ FID would allow you have an unloaded long gun in your car and you can drive aimlessly around NJ without breaking the law. This would apply to someone with an out of state address on their NJ FID. IANAL but the law in NJ says you can transport an unloaded long gun anywhere all the time if you have a NJ FID. The law doesn't say anything about NJ residents only. There is nothing in NJ law that prevents you from keeping firearms in a residence you own in NJ. Getting NJFID with a PA address is just another way of showing you broke your ties to NJ for income tax purposes. The only thing you're giving up with guns in NJ is you can't take delivery of a handgun in NJ.

Keep in mind longer barrels mean higher production costs. That's the main thing Ruger is trying to avoid with this gun.

No experience with the round but I'm with @Pizza Bob on this one. I don't even use +P ammo in a semiautomatic. If I need more power I use more gun. Trying to get a 45 ACP gun to perform like a 44 Magnum is a big mistake. 45 Super is about a 28,000 psi cartridge. The 45 ACP about 20,000 psi max. Most 45 ACP ammo is loaded to less pressure. Shooting 45 Super in a gun designed for 45 ACP will work...for awhile. It will beat your gun to death. Hopefully other problems like the locking lugs shearing off will manifest themselves before the slide separates and sends itself into your head. Don't be fooled by the myth that a heavier recoil spring will enable your semiautomatic to handle higher pressure ammo. The recoil spring has nothing to do with containing pressure. The primary function of the recoil spring is to return the slide to battery stripping off a new round on the way. That's it. Here's another way to look at it. Stock spring in a full size 1911 is 16 pounds. If you put a 24 pound spring do you think 8 more pounds will contain an additional 8000 psi? There are reasons to swap out springs. Being able to handle hot ammo is not one of them. Keep in mind that heavier spring will cause more wear on your gun even if you're using standard pressure ammo. That 24 pound spring will slam your slide forward harder than the 16 pound spring. That will cause more wear on the slide, frame, and locking lugs. I didn't figure this out myself. I was taught this by a renowned 1911 smith some time ago.

If you are maintaining the residence in NJ you don't have to move all your guns to PA. What makes you think you do?

So if everyone is wearing two pairs of pants maybe I should wear 3?

@Zeke and @Displaced Texan maybe I'll wear two pairs of pants to be sure.

Okay Tex. I almost always do!!!

And a vegetable.

So if they have a PA driving license and live in an apartment in PA they're good to go?

So what I keep an apartment in 2 (or more) states? Leasing an apartment is "establishing a residence".

I agree the Revell case shows a lack of common sense considering his situation. A similar situation could happen if you're driving from VA to say Vermont. That can be done in one day. If your car breaks down in NJ and you're required to stay overnight for repairs you can possibly find yourself in the same boat.

If that's your intent I would change driving license, voter registration, and everything else to PA. Also change the address on your NJ FID to the PA address. If you do this the only thing that changes as far as NJ is concerned is you can't buy a handgun in NJ. You can: 1. Still transport long guns unloaded all you want. 2. Transport handguns unloaded and secured between any combination of your NJ residence. PA residence, and range. Reasonable deviation applies here. You can stop for gas, bathroom, something to eat. 3. Keep handguns or long guns at your NJ residence. 4. You can still buy long guns through a FFL in NJ. This is really no change as all transfers between NJ residents have to be through a FFL. And other things.

Under Federal law if you legitimately have 2 residences in different states you can buy firearms in either state. Federal law doesn't specify how much time you reside at each residence. You can have a NJFID with an out of NJ address.

@PK90 is also correct.

Yes. You would go through NJSP if you're an out of state resident. You would need to get PA driving license first as that's one of the blocks on the form.

If you become a PA resident and have address changed on your NJ FID you still have all privileges the NJ FID give you. If your NJ house is your 2nd residence there is no reason you can't leave guns there, go to and from range from your NJ residence, or transport firearms from your PA to NJ residence or vice versa.

Overall finish is not going to be like Vaquero and 357 is probably a no go with alloy frame. Standard SAAMI pressure 45 Long Colt is probably doable in alloy frame. Some idiot will try running +P+ rhino rollers in a 45 LC Wrangler. Ruger won't make it as they don't want exploding Wranglers.

Probably the same warranty they've offered for years. They say the difficulty in complying with laws of all the states makes them offer no warranty. However, if it breaks, they'll fix it.

@Handyman which do you recommend to pair with a fried Spam sandwich?

Aluminum frame, 6 shot, fixed sights, and cerakote all keep the price low. @Ray Ray agree with you 100%.

This case is very light on details. There are a lot of things claimed in the link. Woman is held under duress for 10 hours, held incommunicado, denied legal counsel, and when she does get an attorney he advises her to cop a plea and take a year in prison? What kind of lawyer did she have? There's more to this story the NJ2AS doesn't relate.

Aitken's problem started when he said something stupid that worried his mother causing her to call the police as she was concerned for his welfare. Josh Huff's problem resulted from his decision to smoke grass while speeding. Like Forrest Gump said "stupid is as stupid does". There was a firearm involved in the cases you mention. No one has ever posted an example of some one being arrested ONLY for possession of a hollow point or possession of a "high capacity" magazine. There's always a gun involved. I've said before and I'll say it again I'm not justifying or supporting NJ's stupid gun laws. You seem to think I am. Ignorance of the law is not am excuse. One needs to educate themselves on malum prohibitum laws, laws that make things illegal just because they passed a law making it so. Should we have mandated classes given by the state where all the laws are explained and we can't leave until we pass a test? Of course not. If you are going to be involved with something it behooves you to educate yourself about any laws applicable to that activity. I have very little knowledge of hunting laws. Why? I don't hunt. When I used to lobster I knew the minimum size was 3 3/8". You seek to think that if I got caught with a 3" lobster that should be okay. If you're going to be involved with guns you need to educate yourself about the gun laws. If you don't fully understand something go ahead and err on the side of caution if it makes you feel better. Or you can not have guns and not worry about gun laws.

To each his own.

My attitude is I wouldn't worry about it. There are thousands of guns in NJ that people owned before they moved to NJ. Many of these guns changed hands several times before they wound up in NJ. Yes, it's a different thing but remember it's up to the prosecution to prove your guilt. Having things to prove your innocence helps but they have to prove your guilt.

True, the defendant suffered emotional and financial loss going through this. Im not blowing that off. The positive effect is the appeals court determined that a loaded magazine separate from the gun is not a loaded firearm. No one in the jurisdiction of that appellate court will be arrested for that. Negative effects on the prosecution? Probably none. Suing for unjust prosecution is not allowed in some jurisdictions and difficult in the rest. There is reason for this. Who would take a job as a LEO, prosecutor, or judge if they could be held personally liable for all their actions? Their position gives them certain immunities. We have all seen cases go to trial where a criminal commits a violent, heinous crime but the 12 bumpkins on a jury find the guy not guilty because they feel the prosecution has not proven beyond a reasonable doubt. Should the criminal be allowed to sue everyone in the system?
