I did it myself (pro se) so I just had to pay the filing fee (about $52) and registered mail fees (about $100). I should have received it back today but my mailbox is blocked by a pile of snow and I got no mail today. That is in NJ. A quick Google of VA says they charge $96 but the process seems easier. It takes a little while to read through everything and figure out what they want. It helps if you are or know someone that is good at Word and a fast typer. Maybe a longer Google search will get you the step by step instructions. http://www.pwcgov.org/docLibrary/PDF/007830.pdf or http://lsnv.org/Expung_Petition_No_Record.pdf

That is great news. Very happy for you and your family.

You missed the granddaddy of them all: it's. I see "its" spelled "it's" in numerous forums and in print all the time. And "alot" is not a word. It's "a lot".

I would not talk to the police. Anything you say can be used against you. You can show up by yourself for your preliminary hearing and ask for dismissal. Bring evidence. A letter from an FFL, proof that the same firearm is for sale in multiple gunshops in NJ. Ask the prosecutor to show what part of the law you broke. You will need to get a lawyer if they won't dismiss. I would get a lawyer or even public defender to start with. fI'd never make it prison.

Speedy recovery for little Rafael.

+1 they sure are good looking.

I think Maksim's point is that gold is only worth something when people agree that it is worth something. Just like paper money, people have to believe in it. Paper money is just paper. Gold is just a hunk of metal.

LOL. I thought the writer would finally like NJ is the spring and then get upset again at the 105°F and 90% humidity summer weather.

You don't need malicious intent to commit a crime. What if someone is cleaning their safe action Glock pistol and it accidentally discharged and killed someone? You can just be negligent and commit a crime.

From Ohio Law website: Revell's possession of the firearm in New Jersey was not his fault. That's why the New Jersey prosecutors wisely and fairly dismissed the criminal charges against him. On the other hand, 926A of FOPA doesn't really apply. Revell was not travelling in a vehicle when he was at the hotel or the airport. More seriously, the weapon and ammunition were "readily accessible" to Revell while he was at the hotel in Newark.

I never wrote ignorance of the law is an excuse. I'm saying that if there is doubt to the law or its interpretation, LEO can make the arrest then the court system goes into motion to do its thing. Clearly, in the Revell case, the firearm being transported was readily accessible or was directly accessible from the passenger compartment of such transporting vehicle. This gave cause for the officer to make the arrest. Why should the officer be sued for doing his job?

If Arms&Ammo lists a 17rd magazine, it is for sale to people in states where a 17rd magazine is legal. The M&P9 Pro comes with night sights. I've never seen one in person but there is a Beretta 92FS Vertec that has a slimmer grip. I shot the 90-two and it was a little big for my hand.

Furthermore, FOPA is too vague in this case to sue the police for damages. We can't create a situation where the police are afraid to act in borderline situations because that they might get sued. The police need to be able to do the job they are paid to do. They can't be expected to know every law and its nuances.

[q]Notwithstanding any other provision of any law or any rule or regulation of a State or any political subdivision thereof, any person who is not otherwise prohibited by this chapter from transporting, shipping, or receiving a firearm shall be entitled to transport a firearm for any lawful purpose from any place where he may lawfully possess and carry such firearm to any other place where he may lawfully possess and carry such firearm if, during such transportation the firearm is unloaded, and neither the firearm nor any ammunition being transported is readily accessible or is directly accessible from the passenger compartment of such transporting vehicle: Provided, That in the case of a vehicle without a compartment separate from the driver’s compartment the firearm or ammunition shall be contained in a locked container other than the glove compartment or console.[/q] With regard to Revell, Revell has possession of gun in airport before he checks it in. Even if Revell followed the court's advice and took the gun to a local police station to store overnight, he still needs to take direct possession of the gun to take it from his car's trunk to the airport. I don't see how it's possible to follow FOPA and use commercial air travel. FOPA doesn't allow flexibility for air travel.

I'm in the same situation as you, Edward. I don't have numbers but my guess is that you will find that certain 9mm guns are more popular in NJ because of the 15-round magazine restriction. For example, the Glock 19 vs Glock 17. I prefer the Glock 17 but might purchase the Glock 19 for due to the 19's 15-round magazine. Most 9mm come in two configurations: a 10-round magazine for California and other states with limitations and their regular high capacity magazine. The M&P seems to be unique in that it offers the 15-round magazine but it is only available a la carte. If you want the M&P 9mm, you buy it with 10-round magazines and then buy the 15-rounders. Bud's is a good place to look and learn the street prices but I would buy from PK90.

On another site I belong to there is a teacher from near Los Angeles who is thinking about quitting due to school shootings and violence.

Don't leave out Hi-Point carbines.

I saw the firetrucks on the overpasses this morning but didn't know why. Anyone heading down to the funeral on Saturday to show solidarity against the Westboro idiots?

While it is better to have a weapon than no weapon should something bad go down, it's not a magic shield. What is the idea, to arm your wife and send her into high crime areas against other armed criminals that have no respect for life or common decency?

I'm planning to get one. I'm assuming the FFL people that sell them know more about the NJ laws than me. So, if they sell it, I assume it's legal. Edit to add: If multiple, reputable NJ FFLs sell a firearm, I assume it's legal. I think that telescoping or folding stocks are banned. Not adjustable one. The Hi-point has an adjustable stock. I don't think it's a folding or telescoping stock.

Let us know how you like it. I'm curious about the Hi-Point 9mm carbine. Been reading about the carbine and didn't see 1 negative review on any Hi-point firearm by people that actually own one.

Hotel rooms are very cheap during the week in Atlantic City. Lots of great restaurants in AC. New Hope has a great assortment of bars and restaurants plus a very interesting assortment of bikers, Vietnam vets and GLBT folks. New Hope is best when the weather is decent.

Wouldn't the price go up anticipating increased demand?

BA got 7 years because he wouldn't take the plea offered. What was the plea? I'd like to know.
