If you find out the name or badge number of the trooper taking care of FIDs at Troop B HQ in Totowa (I'm assuming that's where the investigation originates) , shoot me an IM.

They probably gave you that time frame to cover their butts just in case it takes a while. It should be quicker than that. Just sit and relax. You've been waiting all this time to get one, what's another few months. You could still shoot every other tuesdays. Just my opinion...

Mahwah is probably 5-10 mins from New York State. Have you considered moving there and just commuting? New York state (not NYC) will most likely have better gun laws than new jersey.

If one has a carry permit from jersey, do the gun they carry have to be registered in jersey? Also, is it possible that the guy is an armored truck security officer contracted by fedex to deliver "valuables"?

Yeah, and put a pistol grip on it and load it with 00 buck magnums! :-)

If I don't get called for court I'll be there.

It can happen, but it's rare. Usually you breathe it in or ingest it.

It's not a 2C charge, just a 39:4-50 so I wouldn't think it's a criminal offense. However, there's also an alcohol related question on the application. That might raise a flag. Some folks are too quick to judge - equating DUI as an alcohol or drug problem. Just hope the detective doing the investigation doesn't do that.

Looks like oxidation. Wherever you're storing that mag it's causing a reaction with the stuff on it. You can try putting a desiccant in the case along with the mags.

congratulations on your escape. now, get that nationwide CCW permit and carry in Jersey. lol

Might as well ban vehicles too! They can be used as a deadly weapon.

Overwhelming and superior force is fine and dandy if you are fighting for your life or in a war. But remember, this is new jersey...It's all about politics. So, it takes money or ego stroking to get something done.

Maybe it's best to settle it locally first. Talk to the detective in charge or even the chief. If you get the NJSP or AG involved, the town PD might delay your stuff the next time you apply for permits out of spite.

Now if you can only talk them into signing a petition to make our state a "shall issue" state when it comes to CCW then we're all set. How about start with the petition to repeal the one gun a month law? Once you add the word "gun" into the conversation you'll see the difference in their opinions.

Sounds like they both can pass background checks so they're good to go.

How is it a straw purchase if you both have a p2p? I can buy a gun today, decide I don't like it and sell it to someone else who has a p2p tomorrow.

I put a hold on a handgun and a shotgun before I got my permits and FID. I just had to pay for it in full after 30 days. They told me to call if the 30 days is approaching and the permits haven't arrived. They would hang on to the firearm. Everything worked out, but your mileage may vary depending on the store. I got my stuff at BH.

he'll get caught and he'll be found guilty by the peruvian gov't, no matter whether he did it or not. like what they say, payback's a bee-yoch.

He's following proper gun safety rules. Well, some of them. I don't know where that muzzle is pointed. Lol

I've asked a couple friends and they basically have the same answer..."they can't be faster than motorola!"

I can tell you that you will never see a fat or out of shape NJSP trooper. They have to pass a physical test every year to keep their job.

i believe some Sigs also have a conversion kit. http://www.sigsauer.com/SigStore/ShowPr ... ductid=266

i don't mean to sound like a smart ass, but read the packet if you have it...
