it's there... all for 1 1/2 hrs

what do the papers look like and where did they come from (state police or local pd)? the reason I ask is because about 11 years ago, my references were never contacted nor they ever filled anything up. I still got my permit though.

It doesn't sound like it. I think they're just pissed they didn't get a break when they were pulled over. I've been pulled over a couple times by local PDs...Of all the agencies, only BCPD didn't give me a break. even the "professional courtesy" card didn't work.

The State Police already have all that, and is paid for with state taxes. Why do they need redundant units? I don't really care that much, because I'm not paying for their salaries (unless of course they are covered by the state pension system). the county residents have to flip the bill.

yup. go to http://www.battlemug.com the handle is another $35 i think, depending on the type you want.

for $270 a piece they better be! lol the handle is not even included with that price, just the mug!

the state police patrol the state highways, sometimes they just happen to be in the towns. They do have the resources to assist towns when needed...like if a town doesn't have a bomb squad unit, crime scene unit, or swat team. The towns also bring their evidence to the state police labs for analysis.

nope, not part of the sheriff's dep't. just a redundant force, giving out tickets. I heard a couple town PDs don't really get along with them.

Don't forget these...

It's teh stuff you put in teh bang bang. Lol FYI I purposedly typed this.

From what I heard, they are a police force that no town in bergen county needs, so they try to justify their existence.

I don't think a department's crime scene unit would be deployed over flooding. Hopefully Jen gives a little more details when she posts again.

They're violating the second amendment.

yes, i know about cdma vs gsm vs iden. i was talking about not renewing my at&t contract so i'm not stuck with them for another 2 yrs or having to pay a termination fee just to switch. The only reason I switched to at&t was because of the iphone, and right now that's the only reason i'm still with them.

They've had those rumors since last year. I'm not holding my breath. I would love to go back to Verizon, but I just can't leave AT&T while they are still in an exclusive deal with Apple. My contract is over, just waiting for the Verizon iPhone.

I think I know what it will take... $$$$$$$$$$! Lots and lots of it. The bottom line is all the politicians care about is money and getting re-elected.

I remember reading an article (probably here), about a Gun show in Jersey with NO guns, because of the laws here. LOL here it is!: http://freenj.blogspot.com/2008/01/from ... thout.html

From what I understand, you have to be very well connected, very rich, be a LEO, or an armored truck driver. I've heard of judges and municipal prosecutors being denied CCWs. From what I hear, they can put ridiculous restrictions on the permit, where it's not really a full concealed carry anywhere in the state thing...But what do I know, I've never met a civilian in jersey who had one. LOL A bird also told me that if you TRY to apply for one and get denied once, you will get denied over and over again when you reapply.

I was in the same boat as you. I told my wife that I will enroll her and my son to a gun safety class, and I will buy locks and/or a safe for the guns that I'm about to purchase. The one gun I have is in the closet in a gun case, unsecured. However, I know my 7 yr old son very well. He has never been alone in our room, plus he has never gone anywhere near the closet in our room. That being said, I am getting a gun lock for it as soon as possible (this weekend). PS - show her young kids shooting at a range, and show her safety videos (search youtube).

If I'm not mistaken, you get insurance coverage for your guns when you join the NRA. I think the membership is $35/yr. If that's true, that's not a bad price.

You guys are like drug dealers. You all know what happens when you let someone "try it once, for free". LOL To the original poster...be careful, because you WILL get hooked. :twisted:

not necessarily. they gotta find the sweet spot. let's say $600/yr for everything. Now that's a price point that's reasonable. At least they give you the chance to decide whether it's worth it to invest $50/mo for your own and your family's safety. Some will say screw it, some will go get it, and some will say it's too expensive and lobby for reduced prices. You could be thinking "that's stupid, why do I have to pay for rights to bear arms?" I know it's terrible, but at least you have the option. Because as it is right now, we have no other option except to become an officer. The bottom line is we really need to pour money into this to get something passed, because the way we're doing it right now (calling reps and bitching) is not working. We've been trying for years and it falls on deaf ears because we have no money to back it up.

We've been about the second amendment, but these politicians don't seem to care. Maybe we should show them the possible financial benefits of the bill. This may sound crazy, but I am willing to go through the same firearms training officers go through. Hell, I'd even pay for the class. I'm willing to qualify every 6 months (and pay for it), just like officers. I'm willing to pay for license and renewal fees, even if they make me renew every year. Even if the license costs $100 every year, i would pay. I wonder if many of you would be willing to jump through the same hoops. This state would make a killing just in licenses and fees. What do you guys (and gals) think?

Hi classmate! I'll see you there!
