I assume you haven't been to SugarHouse.

From the article above: Published September 01, 2010 FoxNews.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- US allows import of 86,000 M1 rifles from Korea www.koreatimes.co.kr ^ | 01/18/2012 Posted on Thursday, January 26, 2012 2:18:47 PM by Sasparilla Firearms will be sold to Korean War veterans By Lee Tae-hoon Washington has agreed to allow the importation of M1 Garand rifles from Seoul, reversing its earlier decision to ban the shipping of the weapon used by South Korean and U.S. soldiers during the 1950-53 Korean War, a senior defense official said Wednesday. “The U.S. government approved the imports of some 86,000 of the rifles,” said Lee Sun-chul, deputy defense minister for force and resources management. “The historic firearms are expected to be sold to American Korean War veterans and their families in time for the 62nd anniversary of the Korean War, which falls on June 25 this year.”

A. You don't need to appear in court in NJ. You probably don't need to appear in FL either, especially if you were never convicted and it was a minor charge. B. It's not up to you to prove you're not an alcoholic. It's up to the state to prove you are. Drunk on Spring Break in Florida is a lot different than 3 DUI convictions. C. Since you've applied, you've applied. You can call up and cancel it. The chief could deny you before fingerprinting. The other option is that it just sits in limbo waiting for your fingerprints. My recommendation is to either cancel the application before you get denied or go through with the fingerprints and reference letters. D. When I appealed my denial, the judge told me that a lot of towns just don't want to be the decision maker if there is any mark against you. So, they deny and let a judge make the decision.

You do not need an lawyer for expungement or to appeal a FID denial. The captain can deny the application at his discretion for the best interests of the community. Expunging the record is a good thing but once the captain knows about your record expunging it doesn't matter that much. If you appeal the denial the record is expunged, it's not expunged to the judge and the judge can use it at his discretion to deny your appeal. In other words, expungment is not a magic bullet to make past sins go away. Your sins are not grounds for denial and the judge will most likely grant your appeal. Remember, NJ is a shall issue state for FID meaning that the burden of proof is on the state to prove why you should be denied. They will dig up all the dirt on you they can find.

Don't call it a duplicate card. Tell them your FID card got damaged but you still have it and you'd like to return it and get a replacement card. "you're not going to believe this but I just picked up my FID card yesterday and my dog chewed it. Can I bring it back and get a replacement card?"

I'm a new guy owner but a rifle from 1974 isn't old. 1874 is old.

I'd bet that your local PD would give you a new card as long as you brought the old tattered one back without much drama. I think the local PD just types up the card, embosses and signs it. So what if they sent your P2P in for processing? They are independent things.

Was the .223 in the same position in each box?

I went to that show a couple months ago. My first gun show. Very cramped and uncomfortable. Didn't see anything worth buying. One thing that surprised me was the people walking with uncased rifles on the sidewalk outside the building. Living in NJ, that seemed so wild west to me.

In this situation, you can use your knife for self-defense. If you are a first responder type of professional and you are carrying a first responder type of knife you are good. Of course, it's not us on here that you have to convince you were carrying the knife as part of your service to the community. BTW, thank you for your service.

I'm thinking explainable lawful purpose for a switchblade is as elusive as a justifiable need to CCW in NJ.

More facts came out. The couple who lived in the house had been stalked before and had a restraining order on someone. They repeatedly yelled at the drunk girl to halt but she continued into their bedroom. That is a good reason to shoot. The point of law, in NJ, is that merely someone being in your house is not a reason to shoot them. Not knowing the intruder's intentions means you can't assume they mean you harm. Once they've threatened you or refused to withdraw, then you can assume they mean you harm.

This is how it works in all the towns I've been to: Defendant shows up for their court date as required or to fight their ticket. The prosecutor chats with each one and they do a little wheel and deal and try to work something out. If they can't work something out, the defendant waits until all the people that made a deal go before the judge and then they plead not guilty. The judge then schedules a new court date.

Why do people care about whether or not the handgun bullet is hollow point? Do you carry handgun ammo without a handgun in the car? I don't. I avoid hollow point rifle ammo as I may want to make a few deviations that may or may not be judged necessary on my way to/from the range.

You don't have to retreat in your house. Don't buy into the rhetoric. The law says if you're in fear for your life (and this fear is reasonable) you may take lethal action. The people in the original case in Colorado had reasonable fear. One of the couple had been stalked before and they gave ample warnings to the young lady to stop or they'd shoot. The police and I concur that it was a good shoot. Thankfully, the young lady was not killed.

I find this reasoning to be along the lines of lining up a financial consultant and worrying how you'll spend the money because you bought a lottery ticket.

What rights: As HD said, in your house, in fear for your life you can use deadly force. Can't use deadly force to protect property. Police will confiscate your firearm if you shoot someone. I don't know what a throwaway piece is but I can't imagine worse advice than that. If the very rare occurrence of an intruder in your house and you needing to take deadly force you'd want to have the best gun possible; not some cheap piece of crap.

You do have a right to defend yourself. I think you're misunderstanding what duty to retreat means. It's a common rhetoric on gun boards. Sometimes life is black and white. Some thug with a long arrest record just out on parole accosts you from 5 feet in front of you, pulls a knife, says he don't like the way you look and comes after you. You can use deadly force in all 50 states. You don't have to get stabbed first. If you're in a duty to retreat state and you have a safe escape route, you must take it. For example, if you're sitting in your car at a stop light late at night and our thug from above is across the street from you and threatens you. If in a SYG state you can sit there and confront him if you so choose. In a duty to retreat state you are obligated to drive away. If your route of escape is blocked, you are permitted to do what you have to do stay safe. The gray area: Say you're walking down the street and bump into a guy. He says, "Sorry man, hope I didn't hurt you." You think he's being a wise a**. Things escalate, words are exchanged, etc. There is a fight. Someone gets stabbed or shot. Say someone gets killed. Did you both have a duty to retreat? Are you both allowed to stand your ground? Ayn Rand said that it's not a right if you have to ask permission. In many states you have to ask permission to have a gun so perhaps the definition of "a right" is not what it once was.

CCW and SD are independent things. Do not mix them together. You'll understand the law better that way. CCW is carrying a weapon. SD is using your fists, nearby stick, legal CCW weapon, illegal weapon or anything else to defend yourself. If you carry without legal permission, you can defend yourself using your weapon and may need to kill an attacker. You'll get charged with illegal possession of a weapon. You can kill someone with a legal weapon but it's not self defense when it's not justifiable. You'll get charged with murder.

Sadly, life is not black and white. It's mostly gray. Drunk girl intrudes in your house. "Stop. I've got a gun. What are you doing in my house?" "Oh my god, I'm sorry. I thought this was my friend's house." A farfetched scenario that she is a forward scout for a band of intruders is possible but not that likely. It's a reason to call the cops and keep up your guard but not a reason I'd want to tell anyone after shooting an unarmed drunk girl. I really feel for the cops having to deal with these decisions on a daily or weekly basis. No way I could do it. My adrenaline would be peaking.

I got a cable lock with each of my handguns and each of my permits. Countless lives have been saved by these locks.

I took Jule's statement to meant that he wouldn't just assume a drunk girl was an imminent threat to him only because she intruded into his house.

Know your target and what is beyond. Be absolutely sure you have identified your target beyond any doubt. Think first. Shoot second. I'm in full agreement with BLF. Killing some drunk girl in your house by accident is something you'll have to life with the rest of your life. You can rationalize it all you want on the Internet but killing someone is no trivial matter.

I have some hints about it on my facebook page. Some pro-gun shares and stuff like that. People that are into guns will understand and people that don't will have it go over their heads. My wife is anti-gun. Last week she was telling some friends of ours that I shoot. Much to her surprise, they have guns, too and even go hunting.

After reading about these "clashes"I was expected this clash when I showed up at Delran Jr. Marksman with my plastic handguns and AR15 type firearms and saw the mature ROs. Nothing of the sort happened. The older guys there were very cool and a lot of fun. It's just a matter of respect, not of 1.0 vs 2.0.
