Any possession of a gun in NJ is assumed to be for criminal activity unless you have an exemption. They don't have to prove criminal intent, it is assumed and you have to prove non-criminal intent.

If you go browsing on GunGenie.com Hague's prices are above MSRP and Arms-N-Ammo is below MSRP. The cost difference is substantial.

Where did you get it? It's very nice.

illegal search? Nappen should have used that at the original trial. The prosecution had enough evidence to get a conviction... Civil rights violation sounds like an attack to NJ's gun laws. I hope there is a movement there. If Aitken was to argue "I broke NJ law but NJ law violates my civil rights" I'd be all for that angle. If judge not allowing the moving defense was invalid, it would have made grounds for appeal.

You read Galt's speech? I just skimmed over that part.

Have many of you read Altas Shrugged? I made it through the book in about 6 months. It's a very long and, sometimes, tedious read. All capitalists are good and all socialists are bad but it does a good job of driving home the evils of socialism and virtues of capitalism. Rumors were that Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt would play Dagny and Galt but that has changed. I guess I'll go see it. I feel it an obligation... Down in Florence, NJ the road that goes from Rt. 130 to the Florence River Line train station just south of Bung's is named John Galt Way. It always makes me smile when I drive past there. movie link

The world, the country is a screwed up place. One person cannot fix it.

The debate is that it is NOT legal where you start. It's not legal to transport in NJ unless you're under an exemption. You'd be covered under FOPA if you were just passing through NJ which makes no sense. For example, if you get stopped in NJ, what is your reasoning for having the gun in your trunk? FOPA? Anyone could use that excuse. Aitken could have said he was headed to PA and FOPA applied. I guess.... You know, when people argue back and forth, the law is not clear.

I misspoke. Revel was charged but the first judge he saw dismissed it.

What liberal judge felt otherwise? Revel was not even charged with a crime and the judge apologized to him.

A semi-stable Mexico is better than an unstable Mexico. I don't know if it's biased media coverage or not but Mexico sounds like it is going down the tubes.

That is good shooting. I like it. You don't show bias. I shoot left and a little low mostly.

I don't know how so many people can read Obama's mind. I thought he was a little irritated about having to explain our Constitution to the Mexican reporter.

Capitalist or Socialist? A young woman was about to finish her first year of college. Like so many others her age group in college, she considered herself to be very liberal, and among other liberal ideals, was very much in favor of higher taxes to support more government programs, in other words redistribution of wealth. She was deeply ashamed that her father was a rather staunch conservative, a feeling she openly expressed. Based on the lectures that she had participated in, and the occasional chat with a typical liberal professor, she felt that her father had for years harbored an evil, selfish desire to keep what he thought should be his. One day she was challenging her father on his opposition to higher taxes on the rich and the need for more government programs. The self-professed objectivity proclaimed by her professors had to be the truth and she indicated so to her father. He responded by asking how she was doing in school. Taken aback, she answered rather haughtily that she had a 4.0 GPA, and let him know that it was tough to maintain, insisting that she was taking a very difficult course load and was constantly studying, which left her no time to go out and party like other people she knew. She didn't even have time for a boyfriend, and didn't really have many college friends because she spent all her time studying. Her father listened and then asked, "How is your friend Audrey doing?" She replied, "Audrey is barely getting by. All she takes are easy classes, she never studies and she barely has a 2.0 GPA. She is so popular on campus; college for her is a blast. She's always invited to all the parties and lots of times she doesn't even show up for classes because she's too hung over." Her wise father asked his daughter, "Why don't you go to the Dean's office and ask him to deduct 1.0 off your GPA and give it to your friend who only has a 2.0. That way you will both have a 3.0 GPA and certainly that would be a fair and equal distribution of GPA." The daughter, visibly shocked by her father's suggestion, angrily fired back, "That's a crazy idea, how would that be fair! I've worked really hard for my grades! I've invested a lot of time, and a lot of hard work! Audrey has done next to nothing toward her degree. She played while I worked my tail off!" The father slowly smiled, winked and said gently, "Welcome to the capitalist side of the fence." If anyone has a better explanation of the difference between capitalist and socialist or progressive or neocon I'm all ears. If you ever wondered what side of the fence you sit on, this is a great test! If a capitalist doesn't like guns, he doesn't buy one. If a socialist doesn't like guns, he wants all guns outlawed. If a capitalist is a vegetarian, he doesn't eat meat. If a socialist is a vegetarian, he wants all meat products banned for everyone. If a capitalist is homosexual, he quietly leads his life. If a socialist is homosexual, he demands legislated respect. If a capitalist is down-and-out, he thinks about how to better his situation. A socialist wonders who is going to take care of him. If a capitalist doesn't like a talk show host, he switches channels. Socialist demand that those they don't like be shut down. If a capitalist is a non-believer, he doesn't go to church. A socialist non-believer wants any mention of God and religion silenced.(Unless it's a foreign religion, of course!) If a capitalist decides he needs health care, he goes about shopping for it, or may choose a job that provides it. A socialist demands that the rest of us pay for his. If a capitalist reads this, he'll forward it so his friends can have a good laugh. A socialist will delete it because he's "offended".

It's my understanding that I'm supposed to receive something official from the NJ State Police that they have expunged my record as ordered by the court. It's been over a month and I haven't received anything.

There is some NY/NJ definition of a loaded gun. If a loaded magazine is within proximity and availability to an unloaded gun, then they define it as a loaded gun. For example that guy from Florida that drove through NYC and was arrested for a loaded gun in his glove box. The gun wasn't loaded but a loaded magazine was also in the glove box so by definition, he had a loaded gun.

I thought it was just me that didn't see Nappen's strong points. Like I said previously, if you need a lawyer, get a good defense attorney and hire in a firearms expert witness. Good luck trying to sue the state. On what grounds would that be? Kind of hard to argue unlawful arrest when you were convicted by a jury. Or is Nappen going to sue that the state's gun laws violate federal law?

My wife won't go near any life-size statues for fear they are people acting like statues. Sometimes she is right.

I read. What did I miss? I read the bill to state that it would allow a PA resident with a CCW from PA to carry in NJ because NJ allows CCW for legal purposes. However, NJ won't actually issue CCW to its citizens.

Either that or the law would allow people from out of state to CCW in NJ but not NJ's own citizens.

I've seen this on a car. Might have seen it before but didn't know what it meant.

Celerysoda: Hello, state police? State Police: Yes, can I help you? CS: I'm calling to let you know that on March 2, 2011 I will be transporting a large cadre of weapons and ammunition to Randolph, NJ. SP: Can I get your name, sir? And you make and model of vehicle? And your license plate number? And the color of the vehicle? And the time of day you plan to be on the road? CS: Ummm. Ummmm. SP: What types of weapons will you be transporting? CS: Is there a problem, sir? SP: No, just routine questions. {SWAT team are alerted at this point} Or where you envisioning more of a: State Police: Sir, can we search your trunk? We smell guns. Celerysoda: ok. SP: Sir, why do you have enough weapons to supply half of Camden? CS: I called ahead. SP: Let me check. Oh, my bad. You did call ahead. Off you go. On your way. Sorry for any inconvenience. Good luck with the move!

Don't call the police. Don't dress like a hoodlum. Don't stop for coffee. Don't stop to pee. Don't do anything to give police a reason to stop you. You know, just like you should be behaving every day. yes, it may seem suspicious if you get stopped so have all your information with you. Calling the police seems suspicious. You don't want to draw attention to yourself.

Green door. Behind the Green Door. You know, just to be correct on our 1970's movies. Not that I've seen the movie or visited the fine establishment of the same name in Las Vegas.
