The problem with the same scenario you give is there is no probable cause there. Using your logic a judge could also issue a warrant for "high capacity" magazines if you own just about any semiautomatic with a detachable magazine. Glickman 17, Beretta 92, etc. You obviously have never prepared an affidavit for a search warrant. I have on many occasions for federal and state judges in about 10 states. There is no probable cause in your scenario.

How about a 4x5? Nor can digital b&w come near a silver b&w print. A 35mm negative has more resolution than most digital cameras deliver.

If that's your opinion of the court system it's pointless to discuss decisions with you. Based on your statement all court decisions, even those you agree with, are a joke.

Read all of Heller and McDonald not just the parts you want to hear. Be sure to read Scalia in Heller. Don't act like I'm stupid. Of course SCOTUS over rules any judge in NJ. However, until it gets to a higher court that judge's opinion in NJ is what counts. You're displaying little knowledge of the court system. Which is meaningless just as my opinion on a gun forum is.

You didn't change my opinion. You just stated what I have been all along. I recognized long ago my opinion on whether a law is constitutional or not is meaningless in court. It's the judge's opinion that counts. How did you get that out of what I said? Rights can be regulated. SCOTUS has upheld regulations on rights numerous times.

You are entitled to your opinion and I mine. However my opinion in this matter is based on fact. I can think most gun laws are unconstitutional or wrong as I have already stated. The fact is those laws have not been properly challenged. The fact is my opinion, yours, or anyone else's can't be used as a defense until those laws are, to use your word, "officially" deemed unconstitutional. That's a fact not just an opinion. I had to deal with law on a daily basis for over 30 years. I couldn't base my actions on how I felt about something. I had to deal with what is the law not what my opinion was. I had to deal with what was the law whether it gave me liberties or constrained me. I did so sucessfully. The problem with the NJ CCW cases is they were based on "I" or "this small group". NJ CCW cases to date have been rather limited in scope to have much effect. Makes it easy for the state to just issue the permits and end the case. A better strategy is get say 5,000 NJ gun owners to sign on to a case. That's one the state wouldn't be able to back out of. I have no doubt when there is a rock solid conservative majority on SCOTUS there will be many gun laws ruled unconstitutional. All gun laws? Never. An attorney from either side that doesn't include a circuit split in their brief should be disbarred for failing to represent their client. We are all entitled to opinions on laws. None of them are "officially" unconstitutional until a court says so. That's in the COTUS. You have to buy the whole document not just the parts you want.

You have the right to own a firearm in every state. States regulate how you can carry that firearm. Are NJ gun laws stupid? Sure they are. But until they are deemed so by a higher authority everyone in NJ is screwed.

Not missing anything. You are trying to apply law where it is not applicable. Get a similar 3rd Circuit ruling and that would apply. I would think you know this. Why do you keep arguing a point that has no bearing on the issue here? If you were arguing this to the most conservative judge ever he or she would tell you the same.

7th Circuit ruling would have no application in this case. IF it happened in there. Carrying a loaded gun in a car without a permit is illegal everywhere in the 7th Circuit.

Doesn't apply in this case.

We've been around this block before. Calling something unconstitutional is meaningless without a court making it "official".

I only relate what I've been told by someone who did it a few years ago. I don't know where you got your figures but the link below shows about $41,000 a year in Scotland. That tuition is fixed for your complete program. Note that the person I know that went there graduated 3-4 years ago. It probably was cheaper then. https://www.ed.ac.uk/studying/undergraduate/fees?programme_code=UTCLIVMS There is also acceptance rate to consider. University of Wisconsin accepts about 1 in 3 WI residents for about 2/3 of their slots (62). Non residents get to compete for the remaining 34 slots at an acceptance rate of about 1 in 30 or about 3.3%. They also seem to require higher standards for non residents compared to residents. Keep in mind you've already paid for a bachelor's if your applying to WI. https://www.vetmed.wisc.edu/dvm-students/prospective-students/applicant-statistics/ If you go to the following link and scroll down to the pdf you will see the acceptance rate for foreign applicants in University of Edinburgh is over 50%. https://www.ed.ac.uk/student-recruitment/admissions-advice/admissions-statistics If you don't get accepted, lower tuition is meaningless.

I know my vet's daughter did it in 5 in Scotland and had no problem taking and passing an exam to be licensed here. She said it was considerably less expensive overall than doing it all in the US.

All of which has no bearing on the OP.

Much cheaper in the UK. You get through in 5 years total rather than 8 and you don't have to learn another language

To use your words, "the court makes it official". You can argue unconstitutional all you want but until "the court makes it official", your argument doesn't mean anything. I believe most NJ gun laws are unconstitutional but that means nothing until "the court makes it official". I have participated in several cases that went to appeal both civil and criminally. Many times the defense claimed the government's actions were unconstitutional. The defense prevailed in none of them.

Please don't twist things around to try and fluff off my original comment to make you seem right and me wrong. The fact Constitutional Carry is growing has no bearing on the situation in the OP. There are 13 states that have Constitutional Carry. NJ is not one of them. 37 of them have carry laws. None of those laws are unconstitutional until they deemed so by a court. That is the way it is and is the system outlined in the Constitution. Most gun laws are stupid. Violate them and get caught you're screwed. Arguing they are unconstitutional will get you...no where.

Yes it is growing but it's not even halfway there yet.

Depends on how committed your daughter wants to become a vet. Getting into veterinary school is very hard in the US. Much more costly as a NJ resident has to look out of state. My vet's daughter went for a BVM in Scotland out of high school. Cheaper than going here and less time. 5 years vs 8 for undergraduate and veterinary school here. Those 3 extra years working instead of going to school can be used to pay off loans. My vet's daughter and her husband (she met in Scotland) took over her father's practice. 23 years old and she got to do what she wanted 3 years earlier than if she went to school here. Speaking of vets the military is a good way to avoid college debt and do something few do. The NJ National Guard offers free tuition in all state schools plus give you GI Bill benefits you can use for post graduate work. If she goes active duty they have programs to send her to school. Could be worth looking into.

That makes 37 states where your argument is an impossible sell. That's most states. Don't get me wrong. I am an advocate of Constitutional Carry but don't think you'll ever see it everywhere.

Try selling that to most states. That would include gunfriendly states. You will get no where.

I bought some 10rd Mecgar mags for my P95 a few months ago as they were on sale and stupidly cheap.

FWIW forget about looks and just go with the 10 Rd magazines.

I'm not talking about when people are using them. Makes sense if your always using the phone or driving in a car without Bluetooth. I'm talking about people sitting down for dinner, in a bar, at a wedding or other social event. I know people who wear them every waking moment.

If people are using them I understand. Can't understand the people who just wear them all the time when not in use. Do they think they are LT Uhura on Star Trek? Or maybe they're neurosurgeons who have to be ready to receive a call when seconds count?
