Had time to shoot 2 rounds before it got too cold to be fun. The breeze made it interesting.

Not too bad today. I'll be there for a couple of rounds.

Greetings and welcome.

Welcome to the group.

Greetings and welcome.

Outstanding. I love seeing kids being brought into the shooting community. It gives me hope that the firearms and shooting tradition that is our legacy may survive, even here in NJ. Nicely done.

Bueller? Bueller?

yep.

Horde, not hoard

If the weather holds, yep.

No tax on gun safes. Don't you read anything here that doesn't involve you?

My dad was a Freemason for most of his adult life. It's not really a secret society, but they have their secrets. Only a very few of them know where the Holy Grail is really hidden. He didn't.

Short term weather forecast looks okay. I'll probably be there, at least for a couple of rounds. I hate the cold. Anyone?

The words "gun" and "prank" should never be used in the same sentence. It never ends well.

Glad you got through it without issues. Enjoy your new eyes.

Just this moment started in Newton. I knew it was coming, and here it is.

The fact remains that there is no requirement to register any firearm legally acquired in another state that meets NJ compliance laws. There is a difference between illegally possessing a firearm and possessing an illegal firearm. If I toss my perfectly legal handguns in the trunk of my car and drive to McDonald's, take in a movie, and go visit my friends in Totowa, I am illegally transporting guns, notwithstanding the legality of the guns themselves. I'm not required to carry an FID card to prove that I'm allowed to have and own guns, and in that case, it wouldn't matter. I would have broken the law in spite of the fact that I am legally allowed to own and possess firearms in NJ, and that the firearms in my possession are perfectly legal to own in NJ. If I had lived in a free state and legally purchased a non-compliant gun and subsequently became a resident of NJ, applied for and received an FID card, even bought some more guns here, and it was found in my possession, I would be in possession of an illegal gun notwithstanding my status as someone who may legally purchase, possess and own guns in NJ. There is no real necessity or requirement to prove ownership on demand. If the gun is illegal to own in NJ, even if you're the legal owner, you're screwed, and, if you're illegally in possession of the gun, even if it's legal to own in NJ, you're screwed. Simple, isn't it??

Nothing in Newton, but it's probably coming.

Happy Thanksgiving to all. Enjoy the pie.

Have fun. Be sure to get out of there before the freezing rain comes.

Nope. Just the time it takes for NICS to clear. Put it in a bag and walk out proud.

Is there some other issue that's concerning you that you care to bring up?

Guys, there's no reason to rip Vlad a new one. He has a reasonable and probably well deserved distrust of anyone who sits in a position where they can affect what few rights we enjoy here. That said, yeah, it is actually the job of the NJSP to answer questions regarding the letter of the law (not offer legal advice or direction) when asked. If someone has second thoughts about any of the information they've read here, it makes perfect sense to go to the authority on a given subject. How it affects the community in the long run isn't the fault of the asker, it's the fault of our ridiculous and capricious laws, and the ease with which they can be altered with a simple "reclarification" without any sort of legislative process. Don't hate the player, hate the game.

I took the NRA Basic Pistol course as my requisite training, and yes, it did. I imagine most, if not all, of the training options that meet the requirements do involve some actual shooting
