http://nj2as.com/ind...e&id=2&Itemid=2 http://gunforhire.com/home.html NJ2AS would like to thank Anthony Colandro, CEO of Gun For Hire (GFH), the premier firearms training facility in New Jersey, for agreeing to provide a Florida CCW station during the November 17th meeting at the American Legion Post 129, 2025 Church Ave., Toms River, NJ (details in link above). Members and non-members will be able fill out the application, have i.d. photos taken, have fingerprints taken and get your application notarized all at the same time. To meet the training requirement, bring one of the following and you will have a complete packet ready to drop in the mail: * a copy of any NRA or State firearms safety training certificate * a copy of your Hunter Education Card * a copy of your orders calling you to active duty if you are active duty military or DD-214 if you are a veteran If you don’t have the training yet, you will be able to sign up for GFH’s next NRA First Steps class at the event. Cost is only $25 for NJ2AS members and $50 for non-members. You can join NJ2AS on the spot to get the savings. You will also need a check or money order for the license fee of $117.00 payable to the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services. There are two great reasons to have a FL CCW permit: 1. You can carry in 31 states even though you are not a FL resident (http://licgweb.doacs...aled_carry.html). 2. If a national reciprocity bill is passed by congress and is signed into law, and includes non-resident permits, you will instantly be able to carry in all 50 states, NYC, Washington D.C. and all U.S. Territories, yes that would include NJ. FLORIDA'S Non-Resident CCW RECIPROCITY STATES Alabama Alaska Arizona Arkansas Delaware Georgia Idaho Indiana Kansas Kentucky Louisiana Mississippi Missouri Montana Nebraska New Mexico North Carolina North Dakota Ohio Oklahoma Pennsylvania South Dakota Tennessee Texas Utah Vermont Virginia Washington West Virginia Wyoming

You can also show a Handgun Purchase Permit or a Permit to Carry a Handgun to purchase handgun ammmunition. I updated my original post to show the statutory language.

I was doing some research of NJ Statutes and I could not find a requirement to verify any form of identification when purchasing ammunition other than Handgun Ammunition where handgun ammunition has the following definition: I could only find a requirement in the Administrative Code (not a statute) to verify the age of the purchaser of rifle and shotgun ammunition to be at least 18. My question is: Is there a statutory requirement to verify the I.D. or age of a purchaser of rifle or shotgun ammunition? Did I miss it? Thanks

You're very welcome. Occasionally, my endless research yields a gold nugget.B)

When we, at NJ2AS, have done what is required to earn the respect and appreciation of those that have doubts, then they will attend and participate on their own initiative and we, in turn will appreciate anything that they can do to help, even if it is just showing up. So far, I have not met a single person who is apathetic to our cause. There are those that are frustrated and not convinced that this effort is worth their time away from family and loved ones. That is a valid concern. It is our job to prove ourselves. In my humble opinion, it is the only way to legitimately earn support.

This letter shows that all Police Chiefs have been notified that they cannot limit the number of Pistol Purchase Permits (PPPs) issued to an applicant. This is one of the filings in ANJRPC's OGAM lawsuit. Part of the lawsuit was a complaint that many police departments were limiting the number of PPPs. NJ's response was to have the NJSP issue a letter to all Chiefs of Police, notifying them that they were not authorized to limit PPPs. If your PD is limiting PPPs, hopefully this letter will help. The relevant language is in the last paragraph, 2nd to last page. I saw the last paragraph posted in another thread, but I was not able to find a thread with the complete letter -- apologies if I missed it. NJSP Letter to Chiefs of Police 033010.pdf

I am not endorsing either, but these two firms have both done work for ANJRPC.

This highlights the exact issue that NJ does not view self-defense as a lawful purpose. I hope he fights it. That view has to fall in light of Heller and McDonald. I wouldn't be surprised if the NRA or SAF got behind this one.

The important thing about that decision is that the tests that the judge used ("compelling government interest" and "least restrictive means") are "strict scrutiny" tests as opposed to "intermediate scrutiny" ("important government interest" and "substantially related"). We want lots of case law where "strict scrutiny" is used.

10/7/2010 Introduced, Referred to Assembly Law and Public Safety Committee Albano, the sponsor of the Assembly version (A3322) is the Vice-Chair of the committee. Any bill can be introduced and referred to committee. If you see the bill move out of committee, that will mean something. edit: Just checked the Committee's schedule. This bill isn't on it yet. Megaman must know something that we don't.

Is there anything that NJ2AS can do better to make the meetings more (I am going to invent a word) attendable? Suggestions?

I saw several new faces. There was at least one person that joined NJ2AS on the spot and at least one (much appreciated and much needed) donation that I saw. The people that were there were able to get face to face time with our two guests. That, to me, was worth all the effort. It will take some time to build some consistency. The most important thing, however, is to make sure that we continue to provide the service. Last night we provided the most current and most accurate information concerning our cause that's available and took a giant step towards developing a positive relatonship with ANJRPC. It's things like that that will earn us a positive reputation and give us the credibility that we need when representing the NJ2AS membership. By the way, Frank deserves major kudos for putting together last nights event. Thank you, Frank.

Scott's presentation was terrific. Personally, I got a lot out of it. There were several pieces of the puzzle that finally fell into place for me. In addition to the quality of Scott's presentation, I was equally impressed with the questions that were asked by those that attended and by the level of professionalism after the meeting where Scott and ANJRPC's attorney Dan Schmutter spent quite a bit of time meeting and talking to everyone and answering more questions.

fyi, the Assembly version of this bill, A3322, is sponsored by Nelson Albano, the Vice-Chair of the Assembly Law and Public Safety Committee. Yes, the same committee that has held up A1384 for 15 years. Looks like they are serious. Start saving your pocket change.

http://www.retailmenot.com/view/dickssportinggoods.com Looks like that's the best one out there at the moment.

It's not just a $500 fee. $500 annual fee The law is silent on who pays for Sagem Morpho (fingerprints) so expect to pay $62 Semi-annual qualification - at least $200 per year for ammo and the class Bi-annual psych evaluation - $1000 every two years?????(who knows) Judge still has the ability place restrictions Permit can still be denied based on "character" That's $1262 per year on average. Let's say I'm off a bit, it's still $1000 per year. The best option at this point is to call and/or write to your legislators and the members of the Law and Public Safety Committee of both houses and let them know that you would rather they schedule a committee hearing, release, vote on and pass S69/A1384. And if they schedule the hearing, make sure you show up... you know the anti's will be there.

Frank, Will Scott be taking questions? I'm sure that there are a lot of folks that would like to ask him a few things.

I finished my letter today and will mail them out on Monday. I am also sending it to the Senate Law and Public Safety Committee, Senate President Sweeney and Speaker of the Assembly Oliver.

Bottom Line: If your permits are taking too long, or your PD is otherwise violating the law with regard to permit applications: Call the Chief of Police and state your case. If that doesn't work, call the NJSP Firearms Investigation Unit. If that doesn't work, go to the County Prosecutor and ask for an investigation and ask if charges can be filed for a violation of the applicable 2C: statute. Be courteous, be professional, be firm. If you're not willing to do that, then expect it to continue. Yes, it is scary to call your Chief of Police. Do it anyway.

Interesting.

Wow! I'm looking forward to that. There's a lot of folks on this board that would love to hear what he has to say and ask him some questions.
