The law says "any person or firm". That would be an active or retired LEO or FFL.

Did you take it apart?

In your case all three of the parties present need to give consent if the recording was made in PA. Using illegally obtained evidence in order to get a carry permit might not be a good idea. Your lawyer can advise you.

Was the person making the recording present when the recording was made? You say it was between the accused and their 2 adult children. If it wasn't made by sone one present at the conversation the recording is illegal.

I would think of you want to frame someone for a crime you'd be better off not detailing how you were going to do it on an Internet forum.

Okay, if you got a package from someone you didnt know containing a kilo of cocaine and called police to turn it in do you think you would be charged with possession with intent to distribute?

The government isn't always the bad guy. Often enough, but not all the time. Not like Rufus and Bluto that are willing to bash your skull in just to see if you have anythingof value. See @45Doll''s post above.

If you have an RPO permit in NJ yes you can open carry. Not a good idea IMO as you'd be spending a lot of time explaining when people make "man with a gun" calls. You're going to get stopped in order for you to show that RPO permit. Repeatedly getting stopped to show those credentials is a PITA. If someone with a RPO permit insists on open carrying all the time all they have to do is be in the wrong jurisdiction to get red flagged. One should avoid issues. Not only from the bad guys but from the government as well.

Yes, but LEOSA only covers concealed carry. You can legally open carry in NJ with a RPO permit but it's not a good idea unless you're in a security guard uniform.

You can't blame Conservation Police Officers for being kitted up. After all they are usually going into situations where they know for sure the people they're going to talk to have guns.

I'm out. Something came up.

While the Catholic Church has exhibited some anti-gun policies it appears these priests in Poland didn't get the memo. https://mobile.twitter.com/notesfrompoland/status/1059076873001598977

One would think.

Not sure what they do in CA. I think it would be the agency that writes the policy. Some agencies forbid carrying off duty if you're drinking. Some flat out forbid carrying "anywhere alcohol is served" whether you're drinking or not. Many agencies make off duty carry optional. It used to be you were expected to carry 24/7/365.

Interesting bit of trivia here. They sampled the sand on Omaha Beach in 1988. They found 4% of the sand was shrapnel. This shows the volume of mines and mortar and artillery fire that was poured on our guys. I would guess a lot of sjrapnel sank down over 44 years. If they had sampled it in 1945 I'm sure the percentage would be much higher. https://www.google.com/search?q=4+of+sand+on+omaha+beach+is+shrapnel&oq=4%+of+sand+on+omaha+beach+is+sjrapnr&aqs=chrome.1.69i57j33.25828j0j7&client=ms-android-att-us&sourceid=chrome-mobile&ie=UTF-8

I'm not one for totally packaged tours but if you don't want to miss something and you have a limited amount of time that's the way to go. When I was stationed in Germany I was in Schweinfurt. That's where all the ball bearing factories still are. There were few buildings there that were older than 1946. Got to talk with Germans who were there during WW2. The barracks I lived in housed a German tank unit. They survived as the Germans had built garages to hide all the tanks in and painted red crosses on the roofs to make us believe it was all a hospital compound.

I'd go for the VZ24. Czechs were interested in building a fine battle rifle. Russians were interested in building one "good enough". Outside of a Finnish Mosin accuracy can be hit or miss with a Russian one.

Media has no interest in reporting incidents like this. They want to portray guns as always evil. The only time they feel compelled to report it is the armed citizen shoots.

Also a good example of a private citizen not acting like a cop because he has a CCW.

I have a Hi Point 9mm carbine for about 10 years. The old style with the really ugly stock. I bought a HI Point 45 ACP carbine last year. Still ugly. I have had zero problems with either. They have been 100% reliable with any ammo I'be used and factory magazines. They even shoot my lead bullet reloads with no problem. The 9mm shoots 3-5" groups at 100 yds with any kind of ammo. The 45 not as accurate with 5-8" groups at that distance. Both adequate for SD use. They are complicated to take apart for a full cleaning. They are the AK47 of the PCC world IMO. I have only field stripped the 9mm twice. My cleaning is limited to punching the bore a few times, wiping off the big chunks, and squirting some lube in the action. This lack of maintenance is verified in the manual I got with the 45. The factory recommends field stripping every 3000 rds. I have 100% faith in either as a SD weapon. My only issue is that the rear sight would be easy to damage if dropped on a hard surface. If you buy an aftermarket stock you're pushing the cost close to a new Ruger 9mm carbine. I have one of those too and it's about as accurate as the Hi Point and a lot better looking. Considering the low cost, everyone should have a Hi Point carbine IMO.

His first mistake was saying something stupid to make his mother call the police. If he hadn't done that the rest wouldn't have happened.

The reason the magazine charge was overturned was they weren't tested as you state. The reason the possession charge was overturned was because the judge failed to instruct the jury about the moving exemption. If those two things were done I don't think Aitken's appeal would have had any juice. He, "got off on a technicality". The lesson from the Aitken case AFAIC is not to say anything stupid to your mother to alarm her and cause her to call the police.

@AVB-AMG is correct you might want to try different holsters for different needs or ways to carry. My first choice for carry would be OWB, between 2 and 4 o'clock with a FBI cant. Easiest to draw from, easiest to retain. No cross draw or small of back. To give you an idea of different holsters for different needs I'll discuss a variety of holsters I have for a 2" j frame. OWB with and without thumb break, IWB with a single clip (no big paddle that wraps itself around 1/4 of my waist, pocket holster, ankle holster (goes on weak side ankle, gun inboard) and shoulder holster. Although I have other manufacturers I have a DeSantis in each of the styles I mentioned. I imagine you can find all of those from other manufacturers as well. I like DeSantis. The downside to trying different holsters is you'll find one or two you'll like and wind up with a big box of holsters! Oh yeah...you need a good belt to use a OWB holster properly.

Yes, the law says place of purchase, home, and range for hollowpoints. Yes, although it's generally uses as an add on charge you can be charged only with possession of hollowpoints. However, last time I researched any one charged only with possession of hollowpoints I had to go back to 2000-2002. Being that there i's only one case in the past 16 to 18 years that I've found your chances of being charged with it are very low. There have, no doubt, been at least 1000s of people who have moved with hollowpoints. I'm not advocating you break the law. If it worries you, you can do the phony baloney go from house to a range, take a photo with your phone ensuring date time and location are recorded in the data, and then drive to your new home.

@Greenday with practice you'll be able to keep those groups 1" or under all day long.
