I don't care what everyone says...I think the guy has a few loose screws in his noggin. The guns I understand and accept. The kevlar vest and mask and smoke grenades is what is troubling. " i use it for hunting" or "it's for self defense" is just not gonna cut it.

1. Application type (FID/permit w/ existing FID). change of address (same town, different street) & 1 permit 2. Police Department where you applied. Clifton PD 3. Name of the person you dealt with at the PD. Det. Cusack (and a lady named Cassie that made the phone call to tell me it's ready to be picked up) 4. Time taken to issue FID and/or permit. 1 month and 15 days 5. Documents required by the PD (aside from the standard application and the mental health release form). all forms (FID app, mental health records search, and criminal history request form) in duplicate with original signatures (can't photocopy the filled out forms). 6. Notes - anything pertaining to the application process (unforeseen difficulties, chief of police calling your home, you hiring an attorney, etc.). I don't know if a change of address requires another background and reference check, but my references were never called and they never received any forms to fill out. Also, my case might be slightly different and might have been expedited though, being I am a state employee - NJSP already has quick access to my records. I was a bit worried it was going to take longer, because the instruction sheet mentions in bold letters "PLEASE DO NOT CALL FOR STATUS UPDATES, UNLESS MORE THAN 2 MONTHS TIME HAS ELAPSED."

right now, it would be my ONLY choice. Damn change of address on the FID is taking forever. I've got a couple things on hold at the Bullet Hole.

So, if you have an NJ ccw, walk in a supermarket openly carrying, they can charge you with disturbing the peace or making terroristic threats? I would like to be that person being charged. I would be sooo freakin rich after that discrimination lawsuit.

did your permit have real heavy restrictions? like for work only while on duty?

the DHS should build a 24 hr shooting range (facing the border) and promote it heavily. "We feature live, moving targets! we offer night vision goggles for night shooting! We offer military weapons like the M107 and the AA-12!" So how many of you would pay for use of the range?

I've been lobbying for the Great Wall of America. China had a good idea there. Hell, even something like the Berlin Wall would have been great.

how about water? mythbusters had an episode where they shot various ammo in the water and the bullets just slows down drastically as soon as it hits the water.

if you read the app, they want a legitimate reason (like for competition or something). I guess you can't say "because I have the right and I want to!"

I would have showed the same restraint. It's easy to clean vomit. However, if my child was harmed physically I'd be sitting in jail with a murder charge.

may i ask how much you paid for that bad boy? I might consider getting one just because it looks scary. lol

why shoot in Jersey? In PA, can't you shoot stuff in your backyard? LOL Unless of course PA gun laws doesn't apply in Philly.

i was gonna suggest a barrett, but the cheapest rifle they have is $2500.

are you guys like this even at the range? i gotta get over there one of these days just to watch you guys bust on each other. it has to be a blast (no pun intended)!

you may be on to something there... i would volunteer too, even for a few days a month or a couple hours a day.

Thank you for the information. all I can say is "damn, i missed my chance!" LOL Unless of course there are agencies (in jersey or other states) that will accept LE applications from someone over 35yrs old.

out of curiosity, are law enforcement officers automatically allowed to carry concealed off duty ANYWHERE in the country or do they still apply for permits like the rest of us common folks? I wonder if they have to fill out an app every couple of years and their chief signs it or if their Police IDs serve as a license to carry concealed.

your 90 day extension might not have happened without the ID. I wonder if they would have done it if you didn't show your ID.

There's a slight problem with that line of thinking. You're not taking into account the idiot who will hit you no matter how careful you are...

i believe it's because they did not get a raise when their contract said they were supposed to get one. so the public employees made a deal with Corzine and said "ok, we'll just defer and take it next fiscal year just as long as you don't lay off any workers."

Be careful though. There's a section 2C:3-6 use of force in defense of premises or personal property.section d says use of DEADLY force in defense of personal property is not justified unless justified under another provision of the chapter. It basically says if they're just stealing something, you can't just blow them away. I'll attach the whole code when I get a chance.

don't you watch COPS? lol Seriously though, i think "probable cause" allows LEOs to search cars without a warrant. added: don't know how legit the site is, but i just found this: http://www.nolo.com/legal-encyclopedia/ ... 29742.html check all the way near the bottom of the page.

After listening to it a couple times, it sounded like the "journalist" was trying to bait the congressman into saying something that can be taken out of context.

I looked into getting a FFL. after reading the instructions on the application and all the hoops i gotta jump through i realized it's not worth it for me just to get some cool stuff. What might be worth it is to become a gunsmith. not sure if an FFL is needed to handle, modify, and repair firearms.

problem with that is it might raise a flag with the officer. then he'll use "probable cause" to hold you there while they get a warrant signed by a judge. if you're not hiding anything illegal in the car there's no reason to give the officer a hard time. A lot of these guys just want a little honesty and no troubles or attitudes. Believe it or not, they're not out there to give every motorist a hard time.
