Matt, you can never rely on common sense with NJ gun laws. However as long as you are walking as directly as possible from the apartment to the car I can't imagine any possible way you could be prosecuted. The implication would be that people who live in apartments cannot own guns. Of course I've been surprised by how screwed up NJ is before. It also begs the question, what about people who can't afford a car and have to take the bus. But that's another situation.

The police are the only ones professional enough to handle that gun ... http://slog.thestranger.com/slog/archives/2011/06/28/ar-15-left-sitting-on-trunk-of-seattle-police-car

Seriously, if your home defense plan in any way involves the legalities of whose gun is whose then you are doing it wrong. There are many things to consider in your defense plan, including clarity on when you should / should not use deadly force. The question of whether one of you using the other's gun is an illegal transfer is NOT, repeat NOT, an issue.

Plaxico Burress will be taking over as President of the Brady Campaign.

The author Garen J Wintemute has been writing anti gun articles for the Joyce Foundation, and anti gun group for years. Search the net for those two names together and they are seldom far apart. In other breaking news, the KKK published a study that blacks and Jews are inferior to white Christians, while the tobacco industry published a study that cigarettes are safe.

Because constitutionally protected rights trump administrative procedures. Now that the Supreme Court has established the right to own a firearm is a constitutionally protected right belonging to individuals, the burden has to shift to the state to prove their procedures do not infringe on that right. Consider this in the context of the 1st amendment. The state cannot impose secret administrative procedures used to determine whether you can publish a newspaper article.

Gun Control means not shooting yourself in the Dick.

Arguing whether regulation of the 2nd amendment belongs to the Federal or State governments is like arguing which criminal owns stolen property. May I remind you that Heller confirmed with crystal clear certainty that the 2A protects the individual's right. And before anyone takes this "reasonable regulation" concept one step further, I urge you to watch the videos of Daniel Schmutter at the NJ2AS meeting over here on the NJ2AS site. Schmutter does a great job highlighting the absurdity of the term 'reasonable" when talking about a constitutionally protected right belonging to the people. Imagine talking about 'reasonable' regulations on what newspapers can write or what religion you can practice. It's purely a distraction by people who don't want you to have the right in the first place.

We're sorry, all our lawyers are busy defending our 120 other cases of misconduct and violations of civil rights. Can we reschedule for, say, June of 2020?

It's so nice to see Paula Dow for the Defense, again. I wonder at what point she will begin to notice a trend.

It makes perfect sense. If you don't pay your student loan, you're sort of a terrorist.

Obama and Clinton are also planning to secretly relinquish all US sovereignty to the UN Security Council as part of a New World Order. Either that or this is just another bs crackpot theory for people who desperately want to believe anything bad about the administration no matter how crazy.

What a pathetic excuse. Imagine telling them I was going to send the town my property tax payment, but could not find a pen.

This is a complete non-issue made up by the tinfoil hat crowd. There are plenty of things to plan for in a HD situation, this is not one of them.

That's exactly why I need to try one before putting down any money. I've read plenty of reviews both pro and con, and watched several informative videos. I really need to experience it for myself.

I've read enough great things about the H&K LEM trigger that I'm seriously considering getting one. Unfortunately I can't find one that I can try. If anyone has an H&K of any kind with a LEM trigger, I would be most grateful for a chance to try it. I'd provide the ammo, and of course let you shoot my P229 or M&P if you like. I'm located in Northern NJ but would be willing to drive a couple hours if necessary. Thanks very much in advance!

I hate the term "gun accidentally discharged." They really mean someone accidentally discharged the gun.

I would direct the question to Anthony Colandro at Gun for Hire. They provide training for security officers and I believe might actually be a security company, so they should know the process or definitely point you to someone who does. www.gunforhire.com

Believe it or not, I sent my M&P slide to Bowie Tactical in Ohio for sight installation and it worked out great. I think it cost $20 plus $5 priority shipping each way, and he turned it around in one day. It might sound like overkill to have one of the premier Glock/M&P gunsmiths install sights but it was better than schlepping around to a gun smith locally and there was absolutely no worry about it being done right. Next time I plan do buy myself the tools and do it myself but if you're going to pay someone, this was a great way to go.

Here in Cliffside Park there are no candidates opposing the ancient and incompetent mayor. Rena and I wrote in our dog's name on our mail-in ballots.

I've posed in another thread that I don't see how this can hurt the case. If anything, it illustrates how dysfunctional the justifiable need requirement is. I'm sure the state will use it as an example of how indeed permits are issued when there is good cause. However, if their notion of a successful process is to require a guy to be: kidnapped, beaten, threatened by a gang, apply for a permit and get denied, appeal and get denied, file a federal lawsuit on constitutional grounds, apply again, get denied, appeal again and finally get approved after 18 months... Then I'd like to hear the state make that argument.

I often ask this same question just to get feedback from as many as possible. Do you usually travel with hollowpoints, and are there any issues? Thanks

I am sure NJ will now use Muller as an example of how they do not infringe on 2nd amendment rights, because the permit to carry is issued in cases where it is justified. All it took was to be kidnapped, beaten and escape. Get threatened by members of the kidnappers' gang. Then apply for a CCW, get denied, appeal, get denied again, bring a federal lawsuit against the state, and appeal again, get denied, and appeal one more time before being approved over the course of 18 months. Yes, clearly this falls under any common sense definition of "reasonable" regulation. I look forward to the state defense making that case.

MrP, hank you very, very much for standing up and doing the right thing here. It was a real service to our community. The state is able to get away with this crap through intimidation and threat of worse treatment for making waves. Most people cave in and go along to get along. It takes strong individuals willing to stand up and not take it any more in order to get change.

If you are looking for a compact complement to the G23, then this is a no brainer. Get the G27. You should be able to use the same magazines and holsters (in a pinch) and most importantly, same manual of arms for training.
