Here's another article about Celebs that carry, and it seems $$ does get you what you need.. Article link, no I don't read PEOPLE, saw the link n another site :-) They might not be dangerous, but they're armed. Seeking an added layer of protection, more high-profile celebrities are seeking permits to carry guns in New York City, according to New York's Daily News. Among the big names licensed to pack heat: Marc Anthony, Robert De Niro, Donald Trump, and his son, Donald Jr., Mets third baseman David Wright, and Martha Stewart's daughter, radio host Alexis Stewart. Anthony, 42, has a special permit that allows him to carry a loaded weapon in the city, and has a similar permit for Nassau County, where he and Jennifer Lopez have a $2 million home in Brookville. One reason for the rise in interest seems to be the vulnerability some celebrities feel in the Internet age, where so much personal information can be accessed online. "They can get their own security, but with the Internet, it is much easier to find people," attorney John Skylar Chambers tells the News. "They don't want to find someone on their lawn at five in the morning." Gun permit aren't easy, or cheap, to get. Applicants must show that they often carry large amounts of cash or valuables, or that they are being threatened in some way. And the application alone costs a nonrefundable $340. Despite the rise in applications from celebrities, the number of permits issued in New York City is actually down by 2.4 percent this year, to 2,093. I like one of the comments, "Remember folks, when seconds count, the police are only minutes away!"

Thanks Tony.. weather looks great.. packing up the cooler now!

Hey, just a heads up for any boaters or anyone interested in boating, there is a boat show this weekend in Lakewod @ FirstEnergy Park, where the Blue Claws Play.. parking is free, admission is only 2 bucks, and they serve beer :-).. If you come to the show, stop by the Comstock booth (we will have boats from Regulator and Striper) and say hi... Starts today thru Sunday Jersey Shore Boat Sale & Expo

It was also mentioned by Chet at the NJ2AS meeting on Monday (yes that was a NJ2AS Plug! :-) )that most often burglaries, and professional thieves will strike during the day, when the chances of someone being home are slim, AND they are most likely unarmed, because if caught it would add years to their sentence.. .. At night, you run into the possibility of dealing with the crackhead junkie or gangbanger types.. so, know who it is your dealing with... I would like a LEO's opinion on this theory, if any care to weigh in.. It was also mentioned, and as KpdPipes said, if this worst case scenario does go down, request medical attention, chest pains, whatever, it will give you time to digest what happened and be better prepared for whats next.. often times people can't even remember their own names right after a shooting...

Chet from ShootNJ talked about this at Monday's meeting.. My take on it, was that you CANNOT shoot someone in your home unless you are in fear for your life, and like Krdshrk mentioned, you need annouce your intentions as well as prove that you took all steps necessary to prevent the shooting in the first place, i.e. barricade your self if you room, etc... You can't simply shoot someone thats stealing you TV, or whatever, but again, if you are in fear of you or your families lives, then you need to do what you need to do. Chet as well as vjf915 said, shoot to kill, your gonna still be in the same trouble whether you wound him or kill him, and the 2nd option only leaves one witness. Also, don't use a pistol or gun that's not replacable, becuase you most likely aint gonna get it back oh and, figure 20k just to get thru the courts to prove you are innocent..

http://www.ktvb.com/news/Police-3-year-old-discharged-officers-gun-in-early-August-shooting-101851718.html Wow, what a shot! not sure how much luckier any of them could get (aside from not being shot in the first place) EMMETT-- More details have been released about a shooting that injured three people, including two toddlers and their mother. It happened earlier this month at an Emmett police officer's home. Back then we didn't have much more information. KTVB has now learned one of the children was responsible for firing the gun, and the gun belonged to the officer. Emmett's police chief calls the shooting tragic. The single bullet came out of one of his officer's work guns and struck three people. "No arteries were hit, no bones were hit. Oh, man it could have been so much worse. Very fortunate for an unfortunate situation," said Emmett Police Chief Steve Nebeker. The unfortunate situation happened on August 6 in rural Gem County. Detective Sgt. Kim Judy was at home with her roommate, 20-year-old Whisper Rowden and her three young children. It was in Judy's bedroom, that police say Rowden's 3-year-old son somehow got a hold of Judy's work gun and fired just one shot. He was the first person hit. "The 3-year-old went through this thigh, the 2-year-old was either sitting or beside the bed, those facts I'm not clear on, went through his hand, and the 20-year-old roommate went into her arm, and almost exited the back of her arm but did not exit," said Nebeker. Nebeker says Judy immediately took the victims to the hospital. Rowden and the 3-year-old were released the same day, the 2-year-old was taken to Boise for further treatment. Judy remains on active duty, pending the outcome of an internal investigation. Nebeker plans to compare the findings to the department's internal guidelines on firearms. If disciplinary action is necessary she could face termination. "Our policy says we have to keep them out of the hands of children and irresponsible adults, so it's the officer's job and duty to do that," said Nebeker. "Small department - it hits home, and plus everybody knows everybody in our community. So again, the main thing I can says is it's a very tragic incident that happened, but luckily nobody was injured so we're very, very thankful for that." Nebeker would not say where Judy left her gun, citing the ongoing investigation. Some in the community have asked why the police department did not release some of this information earlier, accusing them of a cover-up. But the chief says that's not true. The shooting happened in Gem County and the sheriff's office was the lead investigating agency. To avoid any conflict of interest, the sheriff's office asked Idaho State Police to take over. Nebeker says he was unable to say anything about the incident until that report was complete. He received it last week, and immediately shared it with the local press. To avoid further conflict of interest, the Gem County Prosecutor's Office has forwarded the case to Ada County. They are still reviewing the case.

You wont pay tax unless they operate in NJ, but do a price request on the forum and see what the forum vendors can do, in the long run you might be pretty close to online stores.
