I agree. You can have multiple residences. Your name doesn't have to be on a lease or rental agreement. You don't have to own it to reside there. If you meet the conditions PK90 listed you periodically reside there.

I'll be 163 in 2070. Will my polymer frame pistols be dust by then? @brucin I'll will go to 2024. Got a friend in Plattsburgh.

I might miss that one.

True. Last time I remember was when I was in college.

Yeah but not total here.

I'm not directing this at anyone just sharing my thoughts on an issue brought up. Given 2 choices, Option 1, leaving my wife access to my guns so she could defend herself. Option 2, keeping my guns locked away from her and having her murdered or raped with no means to defend herself because I'm worried about an illegal transfer. I'll go with option 1 everytime. There is such a thing as exigent circumstances that is recognized in the law. You can be allowed to do certain things because an emergency dictates it. That's why a cop can kick down a door without a warrant if someone is screaming help on the other side. That's why the FAA doesn't charge an unlicensed person with flying without a license when they land a plane because the pilot is incapacitated. It's also the reason no prosecutor in their right mind would pursue an illegal transfer case where someone used someone else's gun to legitimately defend themselves. Could you imagine the courtroom? "Mr and Mrs Jones are being charged with illegal transfer of a handgun. Mr Jones was away on a business trip and left Mrs Jones access to one of his handguns. Someone broke into the Jones' residence and threatened to rape then murder Mrs Jones. Mrs Jones shot and killed her assailant. That was permitted by law. BUT THE HANDGUN SHE USED WAS NOT LEGALLY TRANSFERRED TO HER BY HER HUSBAND". Bernhard Goetz was found not guilty of 4 counts attempted murder but got 6 months for illegally carrying a gun. The only reason it went to trial was because the DA brought it to multiple grand juries before he got an indictment. The jury said it was okay you shot those guys but not okay you were carrying a gun. I guess they felt compelled to find him guilty of something.

The big difference between how Glock and other manufacturers handled their issues is they acknowledged them and fixed them. Many times the manufacturer discovered the issue and sent out fixes right away. Sig denied them and still is calling it an "upgrade" not a recall. Glock did change a lot of ways guns were made. People thought Stoner was crazy using aluminum in a battle rifle. I've shot Glocks for over 30 years and carried them for over 20. I think the 19 is the best all around 9mm out there. Does that make me a fanboy? I think not. What was I carrying between shooting Glocks and carrying them regularly? S&Ws, Rugers, Walthers, and...OMG...Taurus. Some would say I should be dead already because I even thought of carrying a Taurus for serious social work. I don't think any gun is the end of all ends.

I disagree with you on this Ray. The Glock issues were unfounded. The Sig firing when dropped is more like being rear ended in a Pinto.

I agree but there are many who think otherwise.

There are many here who think you can't do either. That's probably due to all the arrests you see for these issues.

I'll throw in more. If your spouse signs for it when it's delivered to your house because you're not home is that an illegal transfer?

He's fulfilling a promise to his constituents. That's about as far as it goes.

I've had them returned to my home when someone was there (required adult signature). If not home they left a card to call to arrange delivery or pick it up at hub.

I would think any half as divorce lawyer would make you come up with the money for her half.

I've used the one at Newark Airport and Lakewood.

I've always dropped them off at a hub since I retired. When I was working I always had a pickup. I'd call FedEx to see of they'd do a hone pickup.

If she is your sole heir probably not. If you have other heirs either named or by law (no will) the guns are part of your estate.

You're right wasn't directed at you. You have to do what you feel is right for you. I know what NJ law says. I started as a LEO in 1974. I have never heard of any relative or coinhabitant ever being charged in a legitimate SD situation using someone else's gun. If anyone has heard of one please let me know. We all have to make our own decisions on this issue.

Are all your guns locked up when you're not at home so your wife can't get them? If you happen to get hit by a bus will your wife need to get a locksmith to get at your guns?

Is the stop at grandparents solely to stop at store? Is the store on the way home from range? Could be a reasonable deviation AFAIC.

Didn't know that. Thanks for setting me straight.

LEOSA doesn't let you carry in Federal buildings. If you're on official business different rules apply.

If youre carrying on a permit, no. If you're carrying under LEOSA, active duty or retired, no. If you're a Federal LEO it should be no problem.

For those of us who weren't born yet, back in the 70s there was concern about the 1911 going off when dropped. No Internet in those days so no way of verifying it actually happened to anyone. HP White Laboratories drop tested 1911s and found if it would discharge with the safety on due to the inertia firing pin. Never heard of this actually happening other than in a laboatory but it convinced Colt to introduce the firing pin safety on the Series 80. Most, if not all, 1911 manufacturers have followed. Although it's mostly retired, I have no reservations about carrying my Series 70 Commander.

I rarely disagree with you but will on this. This is supposed to be a self defense gun. There are a variety of reasons it might be dropped or slammed hard that have nothing to do with negligence. Not only dropped but what if you take a hard fall with your gun in the holster. The first "drop" incident causing the manufacturer to make modification , IIRC, l was when a sailor dropped his Victory model S&W and died. The S&W design was around for maybe 50 years at the time and didn't surface as an issue until then. S&W modified the Victory models and still use that design.
