I was surprised that my friend got a visit from the Evesham PD when applying for his FOID. He said the LEO was pleasant and accommodating but he had to show ID, sign a form and "prove" he lived there. The LEO asked a few other questions and told him the FOID should be issued soon. I did not know they actually go to the house now...kind of creepy if you ask me. Is this typical throughout the state?

A frustrated attack and for that I apologize. Back on subject. It's obvious that obamacare is unconstitutional and it only takes ONE part to make the whole thing unconstitutional, there's obviously more than one. Second, regarding SCOTUS their job is to make sure laws are constitutional....not to write new laws, etc. However judges are now writing new laws. The reason I bring up how we are no longer in a constitutional era, did you know law schools do not require the full study of the constitution? What happens when justices believe our constitution is a "charter of negative liberties"? For one, Ginsberg does not believe it. So how is law ruled? The reason I brought up the NSA, TSA, patriot act, drones is to prove that we are no longer following the Constitution. If we were, the simplicity of the first 4 amendments would not be in question or altered. When we gave things like hate speech laws, 4000 plus gun laws, illegal searches, etc please explain how we are in a constitutional era?

Now you tell me why there's over 4000 gun laws when the 2a clearly states "shall not be infringed". Please, do explain. While your at it, how about explaining the constitutionality of NSA spying or car and home searches without warrants, drone attacks on USA citizens, etc. Your delusional and ignorant remarks regarding obamacare are unwarranted and show where you stand on freedom.

Category One: Implementation Contrary to Statutory Text Unilateral grant of a one-year delay on all Obamacare health insurance requirements. Unilateral delay of the employer mandate. Unilateral delay of out-pocket caps. Allowing congressional staff to continue on government-subsidized health care. Category Two : Pending Court Challenges Violates the Origination Clause because it’s a revenue-raising bill that originated in the Senate. Contraception/abortifacient mandate violates religious liberties. Expansion of employer mandate’s penalty through IRS regulation. http://www.cato.org/blog/obamacares-top-10-constitutional-violations http://dailycaller.com/2011/12/04/president-obamas-top-10-constitutional-violations/

This might sound a bit conspiratorial but here it goes: I'm concerned this may backfire on us honest citizens. First , we have the most liberal circuit saying the right of the individual to defend himself outside the home via the 2a is warranted. Then another liberal court saying the opposite. I feel they're intentionally forcing SCOTUS to hear this case. They may feel it can be struck down. If SCOTUS SAYS "no", we're all screwed. The reason, conceal carry permit holders are increasing like never before. Progressives don't like this and want it stopped. Hey, I could be wrong, but I simply don't trust these people anymore.

In another victory for a broader interpretation of Second Amendment rights outside the home, the Delaware supreme court has ruled that the Wilmington Housing Authority cannot limit the right to keep and bear arms to the interior of its properties. [Click here to read the decision.] Doe v. Wilmington Housing Authority, challenged the original ban of firearms from all WHA properties. That policy was amended to prohibit firearms in common areas after the Chicago McDonald decision. But today’s ruling (available here) makes clear that the Second Amendment extends beyond the limits of the home. Here’s the money quote: “…our interpretation of Section 20 is not constrained by the federal precedent relied upon by the WHA, which explains that at the core of the Second Amendment is the right of law-abiding, responsible citizens to use arms in defense of ‘hearth and home.’ We agree with Residents that Article I, Section 20 is not a mirror image of the Second Amendment and that the scope of the protections it provides are not limited to the home.” http://www.thetruthaboutguns.com/2014/03/daniel-zimmerman/breaking-de-supreme-court-rules-rkba-extends-outside-the-home/

Under obama's cap and trade plan, electric rates would have to necessarily skyrocket...

I find it interesting that gun homicides are at the lowest point since 1964, despite record gun sales in the past 5 years. Why do they push this even though gun violence has been dropping steadily the past 20 years, despite there being more gun owners. I think we all know why.....and it ain't about safety.

If each person takes someone to the range that has never shot, it will have exponential effects. We don't need more laws on top of laws we need a change of mindset in the populace. Ive never had someone go to the range that hated it...they always ask to go again and ask if they can bring someone.

Kind of true. When we moved out of NJ, I feared that, but since we lived there more than 8 years we did not have to pay the dreaded "exit tax". However, people that have lived their less than 8 years or sell Eire vacation/investment home did have to pay this tax. Keep in mind when we moved to PA there was some sort of "moving" tax instituted by the state of PA that is split with the owner...and it wasn't cheap. Btw, the nice thing about PA is the 3.01% income tax! dirt cheap car insurance and inexpensive private schooling. Compared to the 8% income tax I paid on NJ, 6k for car insurance and double the cost for private schooling makes a huge difference.

Where I moved to PA 2 years ago from NJ it was weird buying a gun. I walked in, saw what I liked, did the background check, paid and left. A week later did it again. At the range I openly carried, felt weird at first then felt natural. Opened carried at several rallies and that was so weird but great. Gosh, when I lived in NJ I felt so brainwashed and guilty when I carried in another state. Now I feel guilty if I DON'T carry. I get on my wife when she forgets and I remind her this is a right that you should be happy you have... Use it! Last, my wife was in disbelief when we got our PA carry in 20 minutes. She kept asking me when are we getting fingerprinted and sit with the sheriff? I said "this is what it's supposed to be like". Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I537 using Tapatalk

I do like the gun laws in PA but I do like the 3% income tax better than the almost 8% I paid in NJ. I PAY 70% less for car insurance, less for private school and property tax. The better freedoms are an added bonus. However, due to over reach from the federal government, it will be a moot point very soon. We need to all hang together or assuredly hang alone....Ben Franklin.

How do you know that the people of PA won't be flocking to NJ? BTW, I don't see a civil war but I do see more and more illegal confiscations, knocking down door, infringing on freedoms, etc. I feel it will be slow and steady, one home, one street and one town at a time. Continual propaganda by these con artists to point where we've handed over everything. When it gets to that point, people will mysteriously disappear, etc. nope, there won't be a civil war but having one or two crisis type events and the top will drop so fast we won't know what the heck happened. I, for one, don't know what war is like but I do have an idea what slavery is like. I don't look at defending yourself from slavery as war, I look at it as survival. War is for temporary gain, freedom is for a permanent way of life. Choosing not to live as slaves is different than fighting a civil war.

You're correct. If the commute is the same, I'd move to PA because you'll save a bundle. Car insurance alone was $4200 less for our family. I don't want to give away my income, but moving out of NJ and paying PA income tax, I'm saving more than I did with the car insurance. Private schooling is a lot less...why? I have no idea and it was better. Property taxes are about the same for me, but I have more property and bigger home...add all those up and we were WELL over $12,000 to $15,000 per year. Also (for the time being) carrying all the time is nice and simply going to a gun shop and buying what you want is pretty cool too. One thing, I don't know how NY and PA work their income taxes. I think you'd pay the NY tax either way whether you live in NJ, NY or PA...double check that.

Where in NY? Is living "just" over the line in Eastern PA closer or a viable option?

http://www.nj2as.com/blog?mode=PostView&bmi=1382303 September 4, 2013 *** HUNTERS AND SPORTS ENTHUSIASTS – WARNING ---PLEASE TAKE NOTICE! Do you possess a common Air Rifle, such as the Gamo Whisper .177, .22, DX models or something substantially similar? Does your common Air Rifle incorporate noise reduction paraphernalia? If yes, then you are now in possession of a banned assault weapon according to a recent decision by the New Jersey State Police! The New Jersey Second Amendment Society recently obtained a copy of the letter from Lieutenant Joseph Genova, head of the Firearms Investigation Unit (FIU) of the New Jersey Division of State Police, that was sent to NJ firearms retailers regarding the legality of air rifles with internal or barrel mounted baffles designed to reduce noise. In this letter dated August 23, 2013, Lt. Genova makes reference to both air rifles being considered firearms under NJ statute, and that any form of "firearm silencer" is illegal in NJ. (A photograph of the letter can be viewed here: AirRifle2013.pdf). For the purposes of enforcing New Jersey’s firearms statutes, air and spring-loaded rifles have long been considered firearms. According to this recent letter, any Air Rifles which incorporate noise reduction paraphernalia (specifically the Gamo Whisper .177, .22, DX models and those which are substantially similar) are now considered illegal due to the noise reduction capability. This situation has come to light as a result of questions regarding air rifles that are legal to use for hunting squirrel and rabbit in New Jersey. 2013 marks the first year the NJ Division of Fish And Game are allowing air rifles to be used for hunting. Prior to this letter dated August 23, 2013, Gamo and other brand air rifles with internal noise dampening devices have been sold to law-abiding NJ gun owners for hunting and recreational shooting purposes. The New Jersey Second Amendment Society (NJ2AS) finds the position by the New Jersey State Police, Firearms Investigation Unit, an unnecessary overreach that more than likely originated in the Attorney General’s office. A reasonable person would understand that the noise reduction capability of these devices is not incorporated for any nefarious purpose, but rather to enhance the user’s experience. This is why NJ2AS finds the interpretation of the State Police Firearms Investigation Unit is flawed and wholly objectionable. What can you do? While we believe it is our responsibility to alert you and to mobilize a coordinated reaction to this interpretation of the statutes, we need your help. We encourage you to contact Governor Christie, the Attorney General and Lieutenant Genova to express your opposition to the interpretation of these statutes. NJ2AS is always here, working in favor of legislation of our inalienable right to keep and bear arms in NJ. The only way to change the current environment and the attacks on the rights of hunters and firearms owners is to work together and replace as many current NJ Legislators as we can with candidates who respect the Constitution, and who believe in and support individual principles of Liberty and Responsibility. Right at this moment, we have both an opportunity to elect Steve Lonegan, a Constitutional candidate into the United States Senate from New Jersey. This would be a game changer for the entire Nation. Visit our website for opportunities to help Steven Lonegan win the Senate seat at: www.nj2as.com/vote Meanwhile, in New Jersey Legislative District 3, we can replace gun-grabber Steve Sweeney with Constitutional Conservative Niki Trunk. There are other districts where we can have an effect as well. Consider signing up for the NJ2AS Knock for Niki Event by clicking here. None of this will happen without your help. Many New Jersey hunters have been saying that the legislature will not interfere with their guns. While this recent move may not seem like much of an incursion, neither did any of the OTHER legislation that whittled away gun ownership rights over the last several decades. The time to stop this kind of thinking dead in it tracks is NOW!

There...fixed it.

Then they're unfit to drive. I really am getting fed up paying for the mistakes of 3% in society. There is no perfect world, there is no utopia here on Earth and there will always be dumb people driving...will making more laws make them safer drivers? Drinking and driving is illegal, yet people still drink and drive. However, it's morphed into I can't [even] have one beer at a friend's house without quaking in my boots in fear of a DUI. So, who does it hurt? Using the entire "DUI" BS, we now have Unconstitutional check points, searches and seizures. Yeah, that worked out great and now I seeing it happening with texting and driving...leading to searches, seizures, etc. Where does this madness end? But what have these laws done? Created revenue, that's it. Several people have stated it...PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY!!! That's it...however, we want the government to make laws with the illusion of making us safer which causes us to be less responsible because we're reliant only on government and laws. Eventually to the point where we don't think for ourselves hence more and more dumbed down drivers. It's a vicious cycle of finger pointing and blame where (once again) the honest, hard working citizen pays for it in the end. We need to abolish 90% of these BS laws and get back to being responsible for OUR actions. Enough of creating laws because of 12 stupid people in a state.

Once again, a few stupid people and they make a law to punish and TAX (fine) the rest of the honest citizens. Ayn Rand : "The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren't enough criminals, one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws".

So you're for confiscation even if the letter was "weird"? Maybe sometime soon, your stuff will be confiscated because you own guns and that makes you crazy. Remember this case: http://www.foxnews.com/us/2013/03/19/nj-father-says-caseworkers-wrongly-tried-to-search-home-after-photo-son-10-with/ NJ father says caseworkers wrongly tried to search home after photo of son, 10, with rifle Sorry. The line has been crossed and I'm having trouble believing "it's for our safety". How on earth are we now believing that confiscation is okay? Besides the gang bangers it's like 20-30 deaths per year committed by these psychos. Mostly with knives, torture and so forth. But we pick one or two cases and agree "yes, it's for our safety". Well, it's for our safety that we're in this mess we're in right now. WE let government get away with what they believe is right...not what's actually right. Blueline, correct me if I'm wrong, but you're a LEO, right? I've seen some of the scariest post with you believing that citizens are second class citizens and you're above them. Scary mentality...very scary.

Can't destroy the NRA by slandering? Then do it this way....play on the FEARS of gun toting rednecks: ....." expanding its influence well beyond its estimated 3 million members and bolstering its political supremacy"..... Left wing diatribe BS. Just another avenue to destroy the NRA.
