National Right-to-Carry Reciprocity Act of 2011 hearing you can watch live now http://judiciary.house.gov/hearings/hear_09132011.html

Semi auto shotguns with pistol grips are illegal in this state. i recently had a total wrist fusion and cant hold standard grips. After contacting the NRA and finally being refered to the NJ state police firearms investigation unit I was informed by a Detective with said unit that pistol grips are illegal per NJ statuteon semi auto but thumbhole stocks on semi autos are 100% legal. Pump shotguns can have either as long as the overall lenght meets NJ minumum lenght requirements.

one thing that people are comenly mistaken about the nj asault weapons ban is about pistol grips and thumbhole stocks in nj on semi auto shotguns. I was informed by many peopl including the owner of a very prominent nj firearms retailer that both are illegal. I brought this up to my local NRA recruiter/recruiter and after some digging around he put me in touch with the NJ firearms investigation unit who were able to clarify the above restrictions for me. According to them thumbhole stocks on semi auto shotguns are 100% legal and I have this in writing from the the fire arms investigation unit If you have a specific question give them a call I was suprrised when calling they put me in touch with an officer they described as a firearms phanatic and he was more than happy to go over my specific question .

I before the fusion i could fire a shotgun with a normal stock with one hand even managed to hit a few skeet that way. This state is so FD up

I know for shotguns the limit is 3 when hunting I dont believe there is a limit when not hunting but dont take my word on it

OK to my question now is does the stockpile statuate apply to reloaded ammunition As I reload shotun and brass. Ive been out on workmans comp and I have reloaded 2500 rounds of 12gauge #8 for shooting skeet if i ever get released from comp. Do I need to stop reloading and let someone shoot some of this ammo??

Damn I better kick my reloading into overdrive.

I inherated large very large amounts of powder and at the time 2 years ago the only regs I could find were those on the transportation and when you need it in wooden crates according to the DOT. I hope this to be true because if nj has a 36lb limit i need to start selling it off

Thanks I will be taking your advice with the NJ2AS I cant see letting all of my shotguns just sit there and not be used and it will be a couple more years before my son can shoot all of them.

My town no longer has a chief of police and the top ranking officer has signed all my permits and signed my purchasers card a few years ago.

we already have a modified version of the castle doctrine... the crimanals do not have a duty to retreat

I'll never sell any of my guns. My grandfather and father have every gun they have ever owned my grandfather has his ol mans guns. we just keep passing them down the family. So selling is out of the question. Do you know of which statue has the info about semis and stocks. As I use my semi's whell I used to use them a couple times a week as I am an avid hunter.

The question I have about the legality of thumb hole/ pistol grips stocks is can you get a medical clearance to have one on semi auto shotguns like the way you could get a permit to use a crossbow before Nj legalized them. The reason I ask is due to a work injury I had to have my wrist fused and I can no longer grip a shotgun stock because my wrist is permantly straight. I know legaly I can change the stocks on my pump shotguns but I was told on semi auto's it is Illegal. is there any way around this.

Any word on NJ's reply yet?

I to have parked at taco bell many times and have asked before leaving after shooting or buying a new firearm and they said it wsa legal and gave me a plastic bac for the gun in its case and a bag for the ammo.

I know almost everyone I meet up with In de for DELOC's (deleware open carry)monthly meetings have hollow points in there firearms while carrying

I will settle the bills language onece and for all. In the words of the great Nancy Pelosi.. i just puked in my mouth a little... We will have to wait untill its passed to see whats in the bill..

It should pass the house well it better pass the house and their are a few blue dogs in the Senate that support the second Amendment but I cant see Obama signing such a bill into law

My link H.R. 822, introduced in the U.S. House by Representatives Cliff Stearns (R-Fla.) and Heath Shuler (D-N.C.), would allow any person with a valid state-issued concealed firearm permit to carry a concealed firearm in any state that issues concealed firearm permits, or that does not prohibit the carrying of concealed firearms for lawful purposes. A state's laws governing where concealed firearms may be carried would apply within its borders. The bill applies to D.C., Puerto Rico and U.S. territories. It would not create a federal licensing system; rather, it would require the states to recognize each others' carry permits, just as they recognize drivers' licenses and carry permits held by armored car guards. Rep. Stearns has introduced such legislation since 1995.

Question for those who hunt yotes, I've been told on a few occasions by a few different people including FFL holders that you can hunt cayotes during the day with a rifle here in NJ if your bullets are less than 100 grams. I cant find this in the rulebooks but as the farm i hunt on is very very vast and open I would love it to be true. If it is true can any one tell me where I can find it in writing?

Id be interested in seeing some examples as well 2C:3-4 Use of force in self-protection. 2C:3-4. Use of Force in Self-Protection. a. Use of force justifiable for protection of the person. Subject to the provisions of this section and of section 2C:3-9, the use of force upon or toward another person is justifiable when the actor reasonably believes that such force is immediately necessary for the purpose of protecting himself against the use of unlawful force by such other person on the present occasion. b. Limitations on justifying necessity for use of force. (1) The use of force is not justifiable under this section: (a) To resist an arrest which the actor knows is being made by a peace officer in the performance of his duties, although the arrest is unlawful, unless the peace officer employs unlawful force to effect such arrest; or (B) To resist force used by the occupier or possessor of property or by another person on his behalf, where the actor knows that the person using the force is doing so under a claim of right to protect the property, except that this limitation shall not apply if: (i) The actor is a public officer acting in the performance of his duties or a person lawfully assisting him therein or a person making or assisting in a lawful arrest; (ii) The actor has been unlawfully dispossessed of the property and is making a reentry or recaption justified by section 2C:3-6; or (iii) The actor reasonably believes that such force is necessary to protect himself against death or serious bodily harm. (2) The use of deadly force is not justifiable under this section unless the actor reasonably believes that such force is necessary to protect himself against death or serious bodily harm; nor is it justifiable if: (a) The actor, with the purpose of causing death or serious bodily harm, provoked the use of force against himself in the same encounter; or (B) The actor knows that he can avoid the necessity of using such force with complete safety by retreating or by surrendering possession of a thing to a person asserting a claim of right thereto or by complying with a demand that he abstain from any action which he has no duty to take, except that: (i) The actor is not obliged to retreat from his dwelling, unless he was the initial aggressor; and (ii) A public officer justified in using force in the performance of his duties or a person justified in using force in his assistance or a person justified in using force in making an arrest or preventing an escape is not obliged to desist from efforts to perform such duty, effect such arrest or prevent such escape because of resistance or threatened resistance by or on behalf of the person against whom such action is directed. (3) Except as required by paragraphs (1) and (2) of this subsection, a person employing protective force may estimate the necessity of using force when the force is used, without retreating, surrendering possession, doing any other act which he has no legal duty to do or abstaining from any lawful action. c. (1) Notwithstanding the provisions of N.J.S.2C:3-5, N.J.S.2C:3-9, or this section, the use of force or deadly force upon or toward an intruder who is unlawfully in a dwelling is justifiable when the actor reasonably believes that the force is immediately necessary for the purpose of protecting himself or other persons in the dwelling against the use of unlawful force by the intruder on the present occasion. (2) A reasonable belief exists when the actor, to protect himself or a third person, was in his own dwelling at the time of the offense or was privileged to be thereon and the encounter between the actor and intruder was sudden and unexpected, compelling the actor to act instantly and: (a) The actor reasonably believed that the intruder would inflict personal injury upon the actor or others in the dwelling; or (B) The actor demanded that the intruder disarm, surrender or withdraw, and the intruder refused to do so. (3) An actor employing protective force may estimate the necessity of using force when the force is used, without retreating, surrendering possession, withdrawing or doing any other act which he has no legal duty to do or abstaining from any lawful action. Amended 1987, c.120, s.1; 1999, c.73.

I had my firearms siezed one year ago after me and the wife were arguing and the nieghbor called the cops. It was summer time and the windows were open. Cops showed up asked what was going on my wife said we were both arguing. cops walked in asked for my firearms and permits. My wife said there was no reason to take my guns but you know the cops said they had to. We Had a court date three days later in wich my wife said nothing happened and she didnt know why the cops were called in the first place. The case was thrown out but in accordance with some bullcrap Nj law I had to wait a mandatory 90 days to get them back. After the 90 days i just went up to the prosecuters office gave them my paperwork from court and they gave me all my firearms and permits. I didnt have to apply for anything.
