Go ahead and apply, other than spending time and money I’m not aware of any “penalty” for applying. You must meet this standard: ”...in the case of a private citizen, shall specify in detail the urgent necessity for self protection as evidenced by specific threats or previous attacks which demonstrate a special danger to the applicant’s life that cannot be avoided by means other than by issuance of a permit to carry a handgun. ...” What’s the specific threat you’re facing right now? Be *specific*. Got any documentation to back that up? Were you previously attacked? Got that documented? What is the special danger to your life right now? Is there *NO OTHER WAY* you can avoid the specific threat? This is not a joke - previously a court told an applicant to move his area of business operations or hire an armed security guard rather than issue a permit. To be clear, I’m not defending this at all, but this is the standard that NJ applies to make it nearly impossible to qualify for a carry permit.

Another example for the “No P2P required for handgun legally acquired out of state”: You can go to Cabela’s in PA and buy a black powder pistol and/or a bb pistol without restriction. Neither are considered firearms in PA or Federally. Bring them back into NJ, and now they’re firearms under NJ law. They’re legal to own in NJ, you acquired them legally outside of NJ, and no NJ P2P was/is required.

BTW, I read the new law all the way through today and I don’t see anything that makes POSSESSION of an 80% unfinished lower illegal. Purchasing/Obtaining one in NJ? Yes, illegal. Possessing one that you purchased/obtained outside of NJ? Possessing one that you purchased in NJ before the law went into effect? Not sure either of those are illegal under the new law.

Searched town ordinances - the only time the term ‘Bow’ is mentioned is to restrict them within “parks and recreation areas”. I’ll double check with the PD, but I think I’m good to go there.

I’ve been thinking about getting into archery, mostly as a way to have fun in the back yard, I think compound bows are cool, but I don’t have my heart set on one. What would be a good entry bow setup to get started, and what would I need to build a safe backstop in my yard? Can I assume it’s legal to do so, or are there NJ towns with anti-archery ordinances

Yep, Etymotic's rechargeables are out - appear to be exact same thing as the Otto's except for color/branding: https://www.opticsplanet.com/etymotic-gunsport-elite-35db-rechargeable-ear-plugs.html

Got a pair of Etymotic Gunsports which seem to be exactly the same hardware, different branding/coloring, for $200ish via ebay. Should arrive next week.

Very Interesting, thanks Mr. Stu! Did some googling and came across this thread, I think I'm going to get a pair next time ebay has a ~20% discount coupon: https://forum.snipershide.com/threads/otto-noizebarrier-earpro-same-as-new-etymotic-elites.6870288

Increasingly our only hope is the Federal Circuit and Supreme Courts. If the Supreme court keeps dodging 2A cases then we're going to have an even rougher time.

So if you can't say that you're not completely pleased, that means you're completely pleased? Hasn't been a problem yet. I think the gel cushions are going to help tremendously.

Both the Impact Sports and the Sordins have the same cutoff level - 82db. What's the advantage of the Sordins in hearing protection?

Whoah, $500 - $600 reg price!? What’s a good sale price? Liking this option, thanks Nick!

Been using a pair of Howard Leight impact sport electronic ear pro for several years, but I’m finding that as I do more outdoor events and wear them for longer I’m getting more discomfort and headaches. I think this is mainly from the thin plastic-covered-foam earcups and having eye pro arms squeezed against my temples. Is there a step up between the impact pro’s and something like Sordins/Pro Ears? I want to keep electronic amplification/filtering but have something that I can wear all day with comfort. What about electronic earplugs/in-the-ear ear pro? Any of those worth looking at?

Just checked my spam folder, have not seen any like OP describes.

Good luck to you John! Hope you settle well in TN, glad I got the chance to meet you and shoot with you a bit. Please check in and let’s us know how you’re doing.

I know someone who had ‘FVCKPHILMURPHY123’ engraved as the serial on a polymer 80 frame, so yes, they’re pretty accommodating.

There’s no current or proposed law I’m aware of that requires a firearm to have a serial # in NJ. If you want a serial # anyway, this place will engrave one on an 80% frame before shipping it to you: http://www.righttobear.com/Default.asp

Buy now and go to PA to finish/manufacture. Bring back as completed firearm. The finished firearm frame won’t be illegal.

Hurry up and buy your 80% frames before this gets passed into law.

Now I understand why he’s so into meatloaf...

Agreed this is legal if you “manufacture” the lower in another state where it is legal and transport back into NJ following NJ handgun transport law. I’ve consulted PA lawyer Joshua Prince and he verified it’s legal for a non-prohibited NJ resident to come into PA to manufacture a firearm. I don’t believe a serial # is required if you’re not selling the firearm, however FYI if you do want a serial # this retailer will engrave one on an 80% handgun frame before shipping it to you: https://www.righttobear.com/80-percent-glock-1911-pistol-frames-s/2006.htm

I'm considering taking an Appleseed course in Maryland next month. Haven't decided yet which rifle I'll use, but it will likely either be a 10/22 or an AR. I'd only take 10 rd mags for either rifle. Any "gotchas" I need to watch out for transporting into and possessing in MD? Anything that MD has that is more restrictive than NJ?

Late, but here’s a pic of the damage:
