Your chief doesn't know what the hell he is talking about on either of those points.

Hollow points are completely legal at your home. So unless you have a NJ concealed carry permit there is no reason at all to use an inferior round just becuase it is notahollowpoint. The most reliable source of advice on self defense handgun ammunition is contained in this thread: http://pistol-forum.com/showthread.php?4337-Service-Caliber-Handgun-Duty-and-Self-Defense-Ammo

The Raven has a surprising amount of retention for a "passive" design, by virtue of it being so perfectly molded to the pistol and how it rides close to the body. But if you feel better with active retention then Safariland's ALS system is probably your best bet. The 6377 belt holster or 6378 paddle version use a thumb lever to release the lock. If you are willing to accept some more bulk and give up some concealment compared to Raven these are a solid choice. You can get more tactically with a 6004 SWAT holster but that would be overkill for most people. You'll also need a proper gun belt. Trust me, no "regular" belt is going to have enough vertical support no matter how stiff it is. The Wilderness Instructor belt is excellent and is very popular for good reason - it works so well. I personally use the 1.5" width Ares Ranger belt with the quick release buckle because the buckle makes it easier to undo my pants when going to the bathroom (there I said it). Make sure to match the belt loop size of the hoster with the width of your belt. 1.5" is the most common with plenty of support for a pistol and magazines. 1.75" has a little more support but won't loop through some pants. Finally, make sure to get decent training. The 2nd most dangerous action handling a pistol is drawing from a holster. The #1 most dangerous is putting it back into the holster. Gun For Hire has a specific holster class, and many local IDPA or USPSA clubs offer instruction also. Don't try to teach yourself.

If this is for carry in the field on your property then competition features like drop offset or minimalist design that facilitate lighting fast draws are not practical. For real world use I prefer something that brings the pistol close to the body like Raven Phantom. The Raven also has excellent retention for an open top holster. If you expect open carry or performing acrobatics then you might consider a holster with active retention such as Safariland ALS.

Did they just skip the G40 model designation to avoid confusion with the G22/G23 "Glock Fo-tays"?

Finally the all ceramic pistol that cannot be identified by metal detectors that we were promised since Die Hard.

I would show him the letter posted above, and if there is any resistance contact the NJ2AS immediately. They have been very sucessful in dealing with municipalities to correct their improper practices.

I feel sorry for those of you who own guns, what a hassle. I used to own a few guns but after Sandy Hook I got so upset I turned them all in to a local anonymous gun buyback. Sadly, they did not issue receipts.

Eurotire in Bloomfield is the only shop I've seen that uses a torque wrench. One of the reasons I go to them for tires and alignments.

The Mini-14 was the primary weapon for one of the country's greatest military units.

Trigger locks create unnecessary risk of an ND by inserting an object so close to the trigger. A cable lock provides the same level of security without that risk and also helps to visually ensure the firearm is unloaded. For quick access get a quick access lock box. I prefer the reliable mechanical Simplex lock such as on V-Line, Fas1 or Fort Knox.

That's just fucking stupid.

If guns were regulated like cars you would be given your carry permit upon the completion of a simple test. Your permit would be valid in all 50 states. Imagine if you had to demonstrate "need" for a driver license, and having it denied because you can take public transportation instead of owning a car. And being unable to drive from NJ to OH because PA does not recognize your NJ license.

Understand that the entire point of the FPID scheme is to make it as difficult and to take as long as possible. The "investigation" involves looking as hard as possible to find a disqualifying factor in your background and if none can be found, sitting on it for a spell just because they can. Extra bonus points are awarded for lost or misrouted paperwork.

The first step is to stop caring about changing his mind. Not your problem. Once you get past that part the rest is easy.

If you want this particular model but it comes with a gizmo that serves no value and makes the gun illegal, then have the dealer throw it away.

Why would you want a fake supressor anyway?

Mag, how long did it take from when you placed your orders with Wilson compared to Heirloom? I've been contemplating buying myself a nice 1911 and curious about a high end production like Wilson vs full house custom.

At the end of all the appeal process, illegal possession of hollowpoints was the only conviction upheld. The gotcha here is that although there is an exemption to transport firearms from one residence to another, that exemption is missing from the hollowpoint transport rules. This surprised many of us who wrongly assumed the hollowpoint transport rules are the same as for firearms. The lesson is never assume anything, especially the minute details. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brian_Aitken#Appeal

He would be fine bringing the handgun from NY to a range in NJ, but going to your house would probably be a deviation from the specified exemptions. Is it a "reasonable deviation?" Nobody knows for sure but in case of an encounter with the legal system it is your Uncle's burden to prove himself innocent. To protect the children, and stuff.

Not true. Read this: http://www.njsp.org/about/fire_hollow.html I believe you are referring to Brian Aitken The gotcha is that he was transporting from one residence to another, which is not one of the narrowly defined exemptions listed in the above link.

I think most of us are surprised by your question since there are so few with a NJ carry permit. The rule is also different for a "civilian" carry permit vs. LEO carrying under LEOSA or active LE carrying off duty. If you clarify your situation you will probably get a more accurate answer.

Peter, You're right, I should have been less snarky in my response. That was uncalled for. Still, I don't think it's unreasonable to expect the people that manage a gun shop to understand this state's firearm laws accurately, to understand the difference between fact and fiction, and to not spread disinformation. This states gun laws are terrible enough without embellishing them with myth and bad assumptions.

Guys, the NJ2AS is already in the middle of legal action challenging the entire justifiable need scheme. Check out their subforum here for more information. Joining and supporting the NJ2AS is the best way you can help.

So much fail here. First, this shop is congratulating themselves for making up a fake legal requirement and then correcting it. There never was a legal requirement for a gun shop to check an FPID and there never was a good reason for anyone to believe so in the first place. Just another insidious gunshop myth like "hollowpoints are illegal." Second, someone here actually thinks it's a good policy in the name of "safety?" In the rest of America people would laugh at the idea of an FPID in the first place. When was the last time you heard of someone shooting up a gun shop with a gun from the display case? You should worry more about getting hit by lightning. People, please stop this endless sense of self loathing and guilt over being a firearm owner. Some of you are letting the anti gun paranoia of our shitstain state to get into your heads. Quit it.
