Yes I read some of those definitions. To my experience, if something isn't defined under state law, a judge might go to federal law for a definition. A liberal judge might define a parking lot as a transportation hub.

Transportation hub is not codified in NJ law. Stretching the State's definition a small train station could be termed a "Transportation Hub" if a bus stops there. Your post shows how the current administration just wants to make the law up as they go along.

I think any station might be considered a transportation hub. Once again the vagueness of NJ law.

Okay IANAL but I can read. C1 in the statute says securely fastened container or locked in the trunk for transport. No container required if in locked trunk C2 says storage of gun and ammo.in a locked box in vehicle. Says that. Doesn't say separate locked boxes. A prosecutor can't make up.stuff the statute doesn't say. The following paragraphs talk about transporting in a locked box if your in the parking area of a sensitive location. IIRC the "loaded magazine" being considered a firearm originated in CA 15-20 years ago. The statute at the time said if there was ammunition in any part of the gun it was considered loaded. This covered if you had a gun with a box or tube magazine and an empty chamber you had a loaded firearm. Someone was arrested as they had an unloaded gun and a loaded magazine and was arrested for carrying "a loaded firearm". This went no where and was promptly dismissed. Absent a statutory definition the way to disprove a loaded magazine is ask any firearms instructor is a gun, empty chamber, and loaded magazine is loaded. Their answer would be yes. Remove the loaded magazine. Show the chamber clear and the gun is unloaded. Attorneys will be extremely cautious giving advice. That's why they say don't transport loaded magazines. If you were to ask them how you can be assured of not being charged with a malum prohibitum gun law the most honest answer would be "don't own guns".

Hollowpoints are more effective at stopping. My guess is the powers in NJ thought that should be reserved for the state.

Most laws are prohibitive in nature. They tell you what you can't do. NJ firearms laws tell you what can do. You can have a state law more restrictive than a Federal law but you can't have one contrary to Federal law. NJ used to say LEOSA didn't apply to retired leos that lived in NJ. That's pretty contrary. A lot of Federal laws deal with things that travel in interstate commerce. Motor vehicles, whiskey, and firearms are a few. Federal law says to buy a gun from a dealer you have to fill out the 4473 and get a background check. Buying a gun from a private individual when your both residents of the state has no interstate connection. If you're doing it most states it's like buying a hammer. All the extra requirements NJ puts on buying a gun are legal. They don't make it impossible to get a gun only very difficult.

LEOSA only applies to active and retired leos and is Federal law. If they meet the requirements they can carry anywhere in the US. NJ said it didn't apply to retired leos who live in NJ. NJ wanted control and to collect their $50. LEOSA also states active and retired leos can carry any ammo not restricted by the NFA. Hollowpoints are not restricted by NFA only state law. However, LEOSA, a Federal law, only applies to active and retired leos.

Your BIL is not fully informed. Under LEOSA an active or retired LEO can carry hollowpoints in NJ. LEOSA allows carrying of hollowpoints. No state law trumps federal law. https://www.lawenforcementtoday.com/federal-judge-rules-against-nj-finally-allowing-retired-leos-to-carry/

This had nothing to do with Bruen. Retired LEOS can carry hollowpoints. Everyone else no.

So.if it's a millimeter per year, that's a.1000 years before it's a meter. I'll be long.gone.

Just buy.10 rd magazines. If the magazine bsn is lifted there are a bazillion over 10 rd magazines out there.

One can go through posts a year ago and find many saying we'll never be able to carry in NJ.

Never carry a Glock without a holster. I've carried Glocks for about 25 years. IWB, OWB, shoulder, and ankle holsters. Never an issue. The only problem I knew of was a guy who just used to tuck it in his belt, no holster...until he shot himself in the ass.

Well no. Many safeties block the sear. But you have to have a safety to start with.

If you have a carry permit notification is not self incrimination. Notifying is admitting you're doing something legally.

Agreed no black powder used is 5.56. Not sure what they're using now but in 155, 8", and 175s, all separate loading (shell and powder bags) there was a small bag of black powder on the last bag to ignite the rest of the powder which was tubular and each "grain" was about the size of a big little finger. There is no titanium used in shell cases. AFAIK all tube artillery in the US inventory is 155mm and is separate loading except the 105mm m102 in an AC130. Titanium is used in M777 howitzers to make them light and air droppable. Steel is used in howitzer rounds. Titanium is a stupid choice for shell casings and rounds and isn't done. The guy who wrote this article makes as much sense as me writing an article on brain surgery.

3 votes for the Nemesis. I use it with j frame and small autos.

The spread of shot is about the same regardless of barrel length.

Criminals don't prefer a victim that's carrying a cross shoulder purse. Too much work to get it away from them. Many easier targets.

The problem is shooting shotshells through this. The rifling makes shot spread quick!!! I tried shooting buckshot through a rifled barrel on my 870. Effective range was maybe 5 yds. Huge donut pattern.

I've stayed out of this. However @Mrs. Peel off body carry may be for you. I would suggest getting one of those small purses (big enough to hold your gun) worn diagonally across your body in addition to your normal purse. Back in the early 80s when I worked in Key West I worked on a boat a lot. I took to carrying my badge, ID, and gun (apologies to those that may be offended) in a fag bag. My normal attire there would be shorts and a tshirt. You should have saw me arresting two guys for a klio of Coke deal on Duval St. I remember going to interview a woman who estranged husband was looking to buy explosives to sink a load boat. Shorts, tshirt, and fag bag. When we sat down to talk she asked to see my.Id again. I told.her only.the fbi shows up in suits and ties

Many of you are overthinking this. I've carried a gun since 1974. IWB, OWB. Never had to adjust my waist size in any kind of pants.

Do you have a cash price?

Keep in mind heavier steel frame revolvers also absorb recoil better.

@Sabeast this is the proper hierarchy of holsters for concealsbility. However, I generally go for an OWB if I can get away with it. Wearing a shoulder holster with a PPK (a gun I've carried a lot) gives you a lot of extra harness to carry a smaller gun unless you want to be like James Bond. If your clothes fit you well you can't carry much of a gun in a shoulder holster unless your tailor allows for it. Shoulder holsters are better for: 1. You want to carry a full size gun. I'm talking something like a 6 1/2" Model 29 like Dirty Harry. This would include for hunting. 2. Wearing where you'll be sitting like in a car. Ankle holster is also good for this. 3. Wearing when you have to be able to crawl through tight spaces and want to be able to reach your gun easily if it gets hung up on something. We're talking armored vehicle crewman or military aircrew. There are safety issues with shoulder holster regarding the area you sweep when you draw. That's why every LE agency I know of, including NYPD, don't allow shoulder holsters for training or qualification. SOB I'd never consider. Not SOB but I know of a guy that damaged his kidney wearing a OWB at 4 o'clock when he slipped on the ice. I've done the same thing.
