Good place to buy Airsoft pistols?
So how is it possible to get charged with firearms violations for possessing one, as in the case I linked?

Which is a state police "guideline", not NJ law. You could likely get some deference from a judge/jury in stating "but I read at the NJSP web site" if charged, but what NJSP has on their web site is not NJ law. They have a disclaimer on the site that you can't rely on the accuracy of what they publish. Airsoft guns meet the NJ definition of a firearm by plain reading of the statute. That NJSP/most LEO's/prosecutors choose not to enforce NJ law in respect to airsoft guns is not a rock-solid defense. Go back and read the case I linked - that guy was charged with violations of *firearms* law for possessing an airsoft pistol. I'm not trying to be argumentative - I agree that you can buy/possess Airsoft in NJ and most likely never have any issues. However I believe there is a risk of getting charged with firearms violations if you do stupid things with airsoft that the police don't like.

I'm not aware of any portion of NJ firearms law that has projectile *weight* as a factor. Please cite. Airsoft bb's are NOT all hollow. No guarantee that if you buy some random airsoft bb's that they will be hollow and not solid. Paintball guns are legal in NJ because of the projectile size. Airsoft guns arguably meet the NJ "firearm" definition the same as steel bb/pellet guns. I don't know why, but apparently police/prosecutors have chosen not to regulate airsoft guns as firearms even though they meet the NJ definition of a firearm. However, if you use an airsoft gun in a way that makes people call 911, you can get charged with NJ firearms law violations: https://nj1015.com/nj-actor-arrested-for-prop-gun-could-face-more-than-5-years-in-jail-attorney-says/

I believe (I've never ordered from them) that http://www.evike.com will ship to NJ.

Have you guys bought your Byrna's yet?
I'm not claiming it's going to cover every possible situation, just pointing out there is still an option after firing the prongs. Personally, I'd be using it when I want someone to stay away from me. If I miss with the prongs, or they're ineffective, I'm not going to be running up on the person. Pulling the cartridge out gives me the option for contact shocking if the assailant continues to advance.

Depends on the thickness/material, of course. Through leather? Probably not. Point remains - Taser pulse still has a "fallback" use if fired prongs aren't effective.

plane vs train.
Holy crap! Nice work by the LAPD. WTF did the guy who was standing "downrange" of the plane while recording expect was going to happen? Lucky SOB - some people just have no common sense.

Not necessarily. With the taser pulse you can pull the prongs cartridge out of the main body and then it turns into a contact stun gun (electrodes remain in the "muzzle").

Purchasing an 1863-1870 Derringer Type Pistol? Require Permit?
If it's a "handgun" as defined under NJ law, you will need a NJ purchase permit to obtain possession of it in the state of NJ.

New NJ Owner looking for a Shotgun Gunsmith
Howell gun works is probably your closest good bet. They’re likely just inundated with business/customers. You may need to go there in person to get their attention. Tier 1 defense is another well regarded gunsmith, farther north. They were hard to get ahold of before the Covid panic, no idea how responsive they are now: https://tieronedefense.com/

Will NJ adopt the same tactic Calif is about to Use?
Thanks for punting on this issue, SCOTUS. They've chosen to look the other way while allowing partisan lawfare to become a norm.

Gopher second term has more gun control on tap
This needs to be hammered back at the legislators. Is L.E. excluded from the requirement? For what reason? Is there any scenario in which a police officer could fire their weapon and an investigator would NOT want the expended cartridge to be traced back to a particular service weapon? (Not that I believe microstamping is legitimate, but this is a great counter argument to the real intent of the legislation, and ties in the progressive "the police are oppressors/enablers of systemic racism" narrative).

They're going to try to pass all these in current legislative session which ends sometime in Jan '22. They'll likely get them done before SCOTUS rules.

1 - Must complete safety course to get FID 2 - FID expires after 4 years, requires renewal 3 - All guns not in use must be stored in lockbox or safe 4- All handguns sold have to be equipped with microstamping technology 5- Electronic recordkeeping of all ammo stored in NJ 6 - Ban the sale of .50 cal firearms 7 - Regulate standards for mock active shooter drills in schools (?) 8 - Hold gun distributors and manufacturers responsible under "public nuisance" for guns that came into NJ from other states

I don't think any NJ election results are certified yet, so not "official", but I highly doubt that any remaining uncounted ballots will bring Sweeney back in the lead.
