Daedalus

Apologies in advance for the hijack As an ex-EMT(A) I am curious about what is happening with the Sea Isle City Squad? We all joked about the other squads in the area, but it was (mostly) good natured. I no longer ride as I am too old, tired and my knees and back are shot (I wonder what caused that )

Thermonuclear device. Stop messing around

My NJSP barracks just places a phone call. No letters involved

This is distressing. Where were our semi-official supporting groups for the meeting? Before you ask, I had plans to attend, took the day off, then broke my leg and can't drive. What is YOUR excuse? Thanks, Kaiser, for caring enough to attend.

Gotta love some of the Kaliforniastan comments

You went to school in a bar??

There is perhaps someone from the forum nearby you could borrow a magazine or two from to try it out. That's probably it.

I see my man card is in jeopardy

Is a semi-auto handgun defined as assault weapon even with 16+ magazine or this simply more inaccurate reporting. Either way - good job NJSP for getting the scum off the streets.

For $500 I'm in. Just tell me to whom I write the check and get the CCW within 90 days of application. Oops - that does not work too well for pistol permits either.

Also consider a pre-owned starter. I just went through the same decision making process. The post-ban compliance requirement is a PIA and really complicates life for us. A build was also on my radar but I decided for the first time out, no matter how easy everyone says it is, I would buy an assembled gun. Maybe that is just me. I ended up getting what I consider a very good buy on a lightly used Armalite 20" barrel HBAR. Cinching it for me was the retro look that I definitely favor.

oops!

KpdPipes, on 14 January 2012 - Chapter 212 Laws of 1928 Pages 384 - 385 License needed for carrying. From law enforcement ,military, fish and game wardens, canal police, to even steamboat police as well as motor vehicle inspectors! Why did motor vehicle inspectors keep coming up in these various gun laws? Motor vehicle inspectors had more rights than a law abiding citizen! That's one I think I can answer. Motor Vehicle Inspectors were originally part of the NJ Highway Patrol (I kid you not!) and were considered sworn officers.

Well done, Midwest. This should be stickied

Thanks, guys. I signed up for EF&G at Jimmy Flynn's a few days ago. I will be up to the range as soon as my broken leg heals enough!

The two posts prior nailed it. We called it a crash axe. Use it when you go down in a rice paddy and Charlie is knocking on the door while you are trapped. EDIT --- Must have skipped some posts on my first read. Duh!

Too true. You know how it works: if you say something long enough and loud enough, the masses will believe. Don't give them more airtime than we have to

There is no requirement to have a DL at all. You may need a matching government issued ID. Planning ahead: Get an ID card from the county in which you live. It will match you FID. If you move apply for an updated FID to match your updated DL. Your old FID and county ID will match. Not totally Kosher but ..............

This must be a zombie thread - it's back from the dead!

I respectfully disagree. Any private sector corporation run as is this country would have been bankrupt, broken up by the board of directors or subject to a hostile takeover decades ago. Now that I think of it, we are in the midst of a hostile takeover but the majority are either too dumb or uninterested to notice. For those who enjoy fiction - read Brad Thor's newest novel "Full Black". Then tell me who is the enemy.

I'm 100% aligned with you on this, Pipes. Romney has scared the crap out of me for years - the ultimate sleazy RINO. I'm baffled by the Repubs lining up behind him. My personal gut feel is we are in for four more horrible years with the messiah in charge. The Republicans have not fielded a strong candidate and are providing the current administration with points to beat us up with thanks to negative campaigning and backstabbing. Let's dig up the Gipper and run him. Why not, there are so many dead voters in Cook County we may as well have one on the good guy's team!

It matters not an iota. Had he found for SAF the state would immediately file for an injunction pending appeal. Nothing changes. The state prevailed so nothing changes. Maybe it will be heard on appeal and upheld. If the SCOTUS declines to hear the case, which is likely, we have been rolled up and put away forever. Let the messiah get another member or two on the court and the entire country can follow NJ. Yes, this sucks. I'm beginning to think relocation to a 3rd world country where there are no laws may be the only answer--at least until one world order takes over.

I guess I'm confused. You do not want Airsoft guns declared to be firearms, and I agree. But if they are NOT firearms the second amendment does not apply. Can't have it both ways.

Just on CBS News, NY: He pled guilty to a disorderly Persons charge and was fined $250. Love the gun "totting" reference! http://newyork.cbslocal.com/2012/01/12/tea-party-activist-pleads-guilty-in-laguardia-gun-incident/
