Normally I would just go to the prosecutor so I can plea to unsafe driving and pay a fine, but this time the ticket is 85 in a 55 which I dont think even I'm savy enough to get them to drop it down to no points without a lawyer...

So it's been my first ticket in almost a decade so I'm a little rusty on the procedure. Pretty much I don't want any points so do I just set up a court date, then on the day I speak to the prosecutor to have them take the points off the table as long as I pay a fee?

In my case I just brought the permit to the issuing authority, told them i wanted an extension, the cop took it and was nice about it, i explained the gun i wanted was not in stock due to backorder and he went "No suprise there, ever since the dems got back in office..." He just asked the guy in charge to sign it and he left me a message to pick up my permits again all in the same day. its not a complicated issue, just needs a signature.

considering that using a permit is a one time deal (no trading in without another permit) try renting the model you are interested in and see if you like the way is feels and shoots. shore shot is a good place and has a bunch of different guns you can try.

This has always been a tricky issue for me. I think it would be a great idea to take training if you are going to carry. Would I make it mandatory? I don't know. I'd prefer not to, as imposing any regulation is subjected to government bureaucracy. For example, someone who has a severe case of the shakes(due to some medical condition) when they get nervous to the point where they couldnt hit the broad side of a barn, would that person do more harm than good in a CCW defense scenario? It's a tough call. Again I want to refrain from telling any particular law abiding citizen what they can or can not do. I tend to side with individual liberties.

Glad to hear I wasn't just feeding the rumor mill. Considering how close the supreme court case is, its a suprise anyone at this point would think about doing something like this.

So I heard from a little birdy that someone in NJ is trying to pass a law that would make it illegal to rent a gun in NJ or take a training course that includes handling a handgun without having an FID. So in short, if I was interested in a gun there would be no legal way for me to test a gun out before I buy. That means If I had a friend who didn't have an FID, I could NOT go with him to the range and hand over my glock to him so he can shoot it. I do not know how true this is but I was told to get the word out. This is where I need some help since there are probably people who are better at researching this stuff than I am. Alledgedly someone who does not like the idea of renting guns paid off some congressman to introduce this bill. It is entirely possible this is a false alarm but I thought I'd get it out there to err on the side of caution since this little birdy has some connections to inside info. I do not know any further details, I was just told to deliver this message.

Went to Shore Shot to look for a glock 19, only one they had was one with a laser but since I didn't want the laser he took it off and I bought it right then and there. Good overall experience, and I still have that workhorse. I'll never sell a Glock...

ahhh, for a moment i totally forgot about the one gun a month! don't neglect the good old glock! glad you got a gun you are happy with!

lol please explain to me how is it poor communication on my part? i paid, called when i was supposed to, it was clear he could not deliver. he should have called when it came in, that would have been the right thing to do. the funny thing is i almost picked up a membership that day glad i didnt... I agree, i don't think this is too much whining at all. When it comes to business, the customer is always right. It is up to the seller to makes things easy for the customer. In this case they seem to have many strikes against them. 1)He is set on buying from store B, but they convince him to buy from them instead, so he does and when he gets there "Oh we dont have it we can get it though... " Strike 1 2) Patiently waits the week and they still dont have it, telling him to wait for the end of the week and they'll have it. sure it can happen but from david's post, seems they were apathetic to him and didnt give any words of comfort or apology, Strike 2 (As my parents tried instilling in me, you better make sure if you make a promise, you keep it, if you cant keep that said promise, you better make damned sure you do everything in your power to keep the next one) 3)Then they tell him his gun came in but he canceled? Stike 3. So many things could have been done in this situation, communication is super important thing. For example they could have said, we are sorry this doesnt usually happen, or we are sorry about the delay but your gun came in today are you sure you want to cancel? or if the gun came after the cancellation, they could have put two and two together and given him a call back to let him know the gun he has been waiting for has finally come in. It seems to be dave was more then reasonable in waiting for his gun, in this case BA seems to have dropped the ball in customer relations.

It is the standard rail that comes with LWRC rifles, it has two screws in the front so you can take the top portion off to clean the piston. And just so this post remains thread compliant, here is my noveske when it is set up for long range,

Here's my latest contribution. They are about 90% finished. Only thing left might be a magnifier in the future. Both NJ legal of course. On the right Noveske N4 Recce Low Profile with Eotech 512 On the left LWRC M6A2 with Aimpoint Micro H-1

You can usually find me on Jet, though I havent been on in a bit, im getting the sudden itch to play again.

i wont admit to having a FL permit, you'll just have to try to rob me while im visiting PA to find out... lol, all jokes aside, got mine within 3 months, as i recall, it took faster for florida to process everything than it took my local issuing authority to process my pistol permit... 5 months... wtf

as it stand right now the "and bear" part is not fully recognized yet since you still can't carry in DC. Alan Gura (the guy who argued and won in Heller) is currently working on that part but he said it may take a few years as he's currently involved with Chicago vs. McDonald and these things take time.

Hey Dewhitewolf, Your story intrigues me very much and Im tempted to follow suit. All of us should. I'm tired of these local asses making more hoops up for us to jump through. Was there any statute they pointed you towards to tell them to F off?

Edison. The lady'sname is Denine (Da-neen) however you spell it. She's so pleasant to deal with...

I cant stress how much i hate this state even more. So they sent a letter to my place of employment, which was pointless because I work for the army and they didnt address it to any individual. So i call them and ask if I can put down a different reference and they tell me "It HAS to be your employer" "Well you never contacted them before" "Yes we have we ALWAYS do" "Um no you haven't..." (I know this because they have never sent my employer a reference letter) "Yes we have, we always send it out to the employer, always" What if I don't want my employer knowing I own guns? Is there anything in the law that allows them to deny me because I wouldnt give my employer?

So far I have gotten the sense that the overwhelming response to the price is negative. My question is, seriously, how many people will still go buy one? And do you think they would give in and lower the price if the shooting community was resilient enough to hold off buying them? Honestly, I want one really bad but I can't bring myself to dish out $2700 for a gun that was suppose to be around $1500. I heard somewhere an NJ complaint one wouldn't even be out till the end of 2010 (which does not make sense since the basic version has a fixed stock so all that would need to be changed is the flash hider). My final verdict. IF, and I stress IF the price does NOT come down by the end of the year, then I might consider it, but until then, this is officially off my "to buy" list. Sorry if there was already a post on this, I couldn't find anything. I just got done watching the Bushmaster ACR interview at shot show 2010, and my blood boils when I see the way the rep tries to justify the high price. He doesnt mention anything about new materials or features or anything that the original masada didnt have, just tried to make it sound like "It is fully worth the $2700". I hope supply and demand rips them a new one.

can you elaborate on that? its still a bit vague the way you described it.

i disagree with your disagreement of my disagreement! AND i'll play my blue eyes white dragon card!!! (sorry...gettin geeky)

Paul - you are trying to apply logic. When dealing with any government entity, logic does not apply, for that matter, neither does emotion. I gotta disagree with you there bud, emotion is all that drives this government. It's emotion that drives them to fear guns, its emotion that drives the liberal mindset entirely. The regardless of how unsustainable these illegal immigrant numbers are, its irrelevent because they "feel' bad for them. Regardless of how unsustainable this healthcare bill will be, whats important is that one person who died due to lack of care...and that is sad...so lets come up with knee jerk legislation to make sure we never "feel" sad again. Regardless of how a super majority of gun owners are law abiding, they need to disarm us to they can "feel" safe. i'm sure if we got rid of ALL guns in the world, the people would feel safe if just one handgun slipped through the cracks...

thanks chad, i believe this one did though due to the nature of conversations with some of the vendors, that and i saw no signs!

So I finally got to use my FL permit at a PA gunshow this weekend. Got some ammo, a new knife and some other gadgets for my "toys". It was also my first time carrying and I must say the freedom felt amazing. I have never been more convinced to get out of NJ asap. Then the freedom faded away when I drove back across the state line. Quite saddening really. Can't wait till the next gun show.

So I was on another forums and a member stated that Michael Carroll has got some plans for 2010 in terms of projects to sway public opinion to be more pro gun and that he needs donations. So I figured I'd get the word out. Doesnt have to be much, 5 bucks here whenever you can will add up. I plan on donating a bit every month. For the cost of say a coffee once a week we can help a good man do his part in fighting for our gun rights. If even 100 of us donates like 20 bucks a month thats 2000 a month that'll go towards the fight for our rights. I don't know about the rest of you, but after feeling like the NRA abandoned hope in NJ, I trust my money with Mr. Carroll more. Get the word out! http://www.michaelcarroll.com
