There is a good "Pork Roll" facebook group that is quite active. By the way, the box says "Taylor Pork Roll"....

Voted from my work computer!

VOTE! And comment in a polite and persuasive way! Remind people that "standard capacity" is 30 rounds, and NJ already has a more restrictive rule than 47 other states...

It's not "up to 7lbs" but rather "down to 7lbs."

The 10-14 day NICS delay is killing me. I can't stand to wait that long once I decide on something, and the delay plays havoc with my need for instant gratification. At the same time, there are guns I'd like to buy on GB for reasonable prices. So, I was wondering, since I can buy long guns in PA, and since PA NICS is still usually close to instant, would it be reasonable to buy a gun on gunbroker, have it delivered to a PA FFL and take possession of it from the PA FFL? Anyone know a friendly and reasonably-priced PA FFL near the I78 border?

I guess this is finally the evidence I need to wear safety goggles when doing progressive reloading. If I hadn't seen the pictures, and heard from someone I "know" I wouldn't have believed it, but there it is. Thanks for the warning!

Congrats!

This quote should be tattooed on the forehead of everyone when their .308 rifles are taken from them in two years. A lot more than 10 of us own 50BMG rifles, and since they are pretty much alone in never having been used in a crime in NJ, you are really putting your own rights in danger when you throw us under the bus. Rather than 50BMG rifles, let's ban 45cal handguns. No crimes have been committed with 50BMGs, can you say that for your cop-killer 45's?

Sold out.

I'm one of the least tinfoily guys you are going to find, but the jails are full of people who let cops in for one thing and got jammed for another. That Jersey City guy who's been in the news, for one thing.

Wow.

By "victim" do you mean the range owners, all people who want to be able to rent guns, or people who are interested in keeping the 2A alive?

Except that in this case I'm pretty sure that International Law doesn't provide for the right of civilian gun ownership, and that a government seizing firearms is not only not prohibited under International Law, but possibly promoted by it. So I don't think this helps us much...

I don't want to turn it into "that thread" either. I fully support cops. I just want them to realize that having to change jobs, lose benefits, uproot family, etc, because your job goes away or you decide your job isn't for you is a normal thing.

Of course normal civilians have to do this multiple times during their careers. Pensions? Ha, I've had good jobs in NYC for 20+ years and have never had one. All the civilians I know have had to "uproot their homes and families" at least once, or maybe work hundreds of miles from home. I know several friends in NJ work during the week in Boston because that's where their job moved. So, I agree it's hard to leave your roots, but it's something that almost every normal civilian has to do because we don't get crazy benefits.

While it seems like this would be a great comparison, and many pro-2A arguments mention Chicago, I think it works against us. They have an almost total ban on guns, and yet they have a very high gun crime statistic. Sounds great for us, right? Except the counter argument is always that Chicago is bad because people are buying guns (maybe at gun shows) in Virginia, where laws are more lax. Therefore, they will argue that we need comprehensive BG checks at gun shows, more universal strict laws, etc. In other words, "Chicago would be great if not for the lax laws everywhere else, so let's make all the laws that strict." I think Chicago is always a failing argument for us...

The NMA kits are really helpful. For a non-traffic offense I would never "play lawyer" but for this, you can do it and it's sort of fun. I once got a speeding ticket in Westfield, and after a few weeks had boxes of paper on every officer's training records, the maintenance logs on the radar units, etc. Ticket was dismissed because rader unit hadn't been tuned properly during that shift (or more likely, the guy forgot to write it down). Traffic things you can do yourself.

Go to the NMA website (National Motorists Assoc) and they have all the info about how to everything to fight tickets...

Those of us who shoot our 50 BMG's in NJ all the time wonder what you mean?

HA HA HA. Yes, you should do this because the police are your friends, fully understand all NJ firearms rules and regulations and will assume that you are an honest citizen trying to do the right thing. Or not. Sounds like a great way to get fully jammed up with an "near-apocalyptic arsenal of deadly assault bullets" story in the newspaper, and legal troubles for years. Don't ever involve the police when you don't need to.

Consensus on the internet is that it might have been a 4/1 situation...

Morons, your bus is waiting...

Also, even if your chief wouldn't approve renewals, you should always approve for one more than you can get in the 90 days (i.e., 4). If one of the three guns you buy ends up being defective, and needs factory replacement with parts bearing a different serial number, you need another permit. Always get +1 over the number you think you will use.

Your original post was completely wrong. I corrected you, and you edited the original post. Whatever.
