If you think this is a back door way to get a NJ concealed carry permit, then stop right now. Assuming you pass all the tests and qualifications and licensing, your carry permit will still only be valid while you are actively on duty as a security guard. Not on the way to or from work, or while you are not employed with a security company. Sorry.

Come on now. Either the fox shot the guy, or some nitwit accidentally shot himself and made up a ridiculous story. I wasn't there but I know which is more likely.

Also don't overlook a 1911. The single stack frame is very ergonomic for people of all sized hands. For a fun gun that does not get used for defense a 4" 1911 in 9mm would be fantastic.

A smaller gun like a P239 might be easier o hold but harder to shoot. Try the P30 or M&P9 with adjustable backstraps. As for racking the slide this is almost always an issue of technique and aligning the hands and arms properly for leverage. Check out corneredcat.com for a great description of the technique for women.

50% raise for the same work? Unless there is some issue with the new company, then he should go for it.

Background check: 5 minutes Make sure you know your place and respect their authoritah: weeks, months, however long the chief feels it should take.

The material on most new firearms is not lubricant, it's more like a packing grease to prevent corrosion during shipping and storage. Cleaning and lubing is also a great opportunity to detail inspect and function check before the first firing.

The real problem here is the writers of the regulation got their information about guns from the movie Lethal Weapon, and believe hollowpoints to be armor piercing cop killers. In any event EFMJ is not considered to be a hollowpoint so you're good to go.

Apparently your face reminds the detective of an air filter for a 1996 - 1999 Ford Taurus, part# FA1630.

NOOOOOO! Absolutely positively DO NOT do that. We'll have another Brian Aitken within seconds of him walking in the PD door.

You're right, I was not very precise in my answer. But the unfortunate bottom line is that an in-laws' house is not one of the few specific places one can legally bring the firearm.

I don't think there is any way for you to legally bring your handgun to NJ and the consequences of getting caught are barbaric. FOPA only protects people traveling through the state but not if you are traveling to here as your destination. Unless you have an NJ Concealed Carry permit you can only keep your firearm in your residence, and your family's house is not your residence. Google Brian Aitken who just got 7 years for this very thing. It's outrageous but true.

The SAF efforts are indeed having positive impact. The gun control advocates are now offering concessions on less important administrative and convenience issues in the hope that they will avoid meaningful change. This is similar to recent proposed changes in NYC. I am glad for the minor administrative improvements offered but the real source of optimism is that they are beginning to realize they are now on the defensive. We should keep up the pressure and not be grateful for small handouts.

Can you imagine people telling you not to check out too many books from the library because it might look suspicious?

So, you really mean he acquired it prior to 1965 ..... right?

No, read the OP's original question. He asked what the state's position might be in defending against the SAF suit, not if I agree with it or what my position is on the issue.

You guys are a bit off topic. The OP asked what would NJ's defense against the lawsuit be, not for opinions on why we think the suit should be successful. I think there will be two parts to their defense. First, Heller and McDonald were specifically about owning guns in the home. The judges did not apply the RKBA outside the home, although they left that question open for another case. Second, they also allowed for "reasonable restrictions" and to prevent the use of handguns in "sensitive places" which is obviously very vague and will be interpreted differently around the country. So NJ will claim that because NJ is so populated, the entire state is a "sensitive place" and the danger from wild west shootouts over parking spaces and accidental discharges in supermarkets will outweigh the rare need to defend oneself. This, in their minds, will be a "reasonable restriction."

One basic technique of torture is to randomly inflict pain to the victim for no reason at all. This is to make sure the victim understands he is powerless. That's really what's going on here. The goal is to make everyone afraid to buy a rifle, even if it's legal, for fear of random punishment.

A system is only as reliable as it's least reliable component. I spend a great deal of time and money testing my pistols for reliability. I'm not going to have it disabled by a gunvault that works most of the time for most people. I prefer the simplex lock on a Vline or Ft Knox.

He is right that it will never happen through NJ legislation. The only hope is through litigation when the SAF gets to the next round. Unfortunately this will be at least several more years and might not succeed.

Let me point out an organization called Patriot Guard Riders patriotguard.org. These are mostly motorcyclists who basically escort family and shield them from the WBC during the military funerals. Not only to counterprotest, but also to show support to the families who are the victims of this venomous hate at the worst time in their lives, having lost a son or daughter in combat. There are other groups who also are very effective and helpful here, but this is the one I'm most familiar with. When you hear "freedom isn't free," it is not only the physical blood shed by soldiers. It is also paid for in emotional pain by these families. These WBC have a constitutional right to speech, but lets be grateful and humble toward those who are really paying for those rights that we all have.

I have an Acme anvil hanging over an "X" marked "free bird seed."

Never let facts interfere with outrage.

I will never look at the conference room trash can the same again.
