Civil lawsuit against my daughter
I think the statute of limitation is 2 years for an injured adult and it's longer for a minor. I can find out for sure when my wife gets home. You don't usually see a complaint for only $2500. An amount that low is not worth the lawyer's time.

Civil lawsuit against my daughter
If your daughter was served summons and complaint then you need to contact your insurance company. That is why you pay premiums to the insurance company. Your insurance company will deal with it.

Bryan Miller of CeasfireNJ on Brian Aitken
The prosecutor and defense attorney pick the jury. The defense attorney should have had some gun owners on the jury. And how do you know there weren't any gun owners on the jury? As a juror, your job is uphold the law, not rule as you see fit. I still want to know what was in Brian's trunk. Neither side is releasing the full details of the case.

What style wood for grips?
Is there any difference in durability/longevity? I like the walnut, the first and 3rd pics of the dark, tight-grain walnut. But, it's just personal preference. What kind of gun? Should I assume AK?

Christie in Wash Twp NJ on Right to Carry....
I was down in Wilmington about a month ago for a few days on business. Stayed on Wrightsville Beach. It is a very nice town. Almost went to a gun range down there in Wilmington but didn't make it. Lots of pretty women down there. I hear it's due to the movie studio. It's a magnet for pretty women.

Brian Aitken, in jail in NJ for 7 years for owning legal guns
I'd be more behind Brian if his side would release more information about the circumstances of his arrest and what exactly was found in his trunk. I haven't read anything that tells the State's side of the story. I'm sure Brian's defense attorney told the jury about the gun laws, no? Wouldn't Brian defense simply be "I complied with NJ's gun laws" and explain them to the jury. Something is missing here.

Citizen fights back, tells TSA "don't touch it"
SAN didn't require everyone going through the scanner to get a pat down but they did require it of my companion. Just seems inefficient to have the scanner plus the pat down.

Citizen fights back, tells TSA "don't touch it"
Speaking of racial profiling, if the guy in the video was middle easterner, no one would have any sympathy for him and would go as far to ask him to be detained for causing such a commotion.

Citizen fights back, tells TSA "don't touch it"
I'm with CBS, I think the guy was just looking for a cause. I've been unlucky enough to have have taken about 12 flights in the past 1.5 months. It's been a grueling 6 weeks. I've seen the scanner machine in SAN. My traveling companion was pulled through it while I went through the regular metal detector. My companion was also patted down. The scanner is slower and still required the pat down. Seems like a waste of time and money but that's not the point. The policies at the airport, however stupid they may be, are there for our protection. I was patted down twice in China by females and patted down once in France by a male. My genitalia were not touched. They pat down many more people in China and France than in the USA but you can keep your shoes on. Look at it from TSA's view: They pat down hundreds of people a day and this one guy has a problem with it. Well, I don't want that guy on my plane. It appears he's hiding something.

Given A Rifle
"Antique firearm" means any firearm which is incapable of being fired or discharged, or which does not fire fixed ammunition regardless of date of manufacture, or was manufactured before 1898 for which cartridge ammunition is not commercially available, and is possessed as a curiosity or ornament or for its historical significance or value. No person, other than a licensed or registered retail or wholesale dealer, shall receive, purchase or otherwise acquire a rifle, shotgun or antique cannon, other than an antique rifle or shotgun, unless that person possesses and exhibits a valid firearms purchaser identification card. The age of the gun does change the law if the firearm meets the definition of antique firearm.

My experience at Paterson Gunsmithing
Yes. Absolutely, it is.

So I got denied. For a incident as a Juvenile.
My disorderly was resisting arrest by not immediately stopping my car when the state trooper pulled me over for speeding. The local PD said it wasn't in the public interest for me to have a permit. Actually, I did forget to put it down on the application but it seemed to be a 6 month disorderly so I think I was accurate to write "no" as the application asks if there is an offense with possible sentence over 6 months.

So I got denied. For a incident as a Juvenile.
People have said lawyer up but I just can't justify that expense. Expungement plus appeal and you could be talking $2000-3000. Seems to me that the local PD will just deny for any reason they can find and figure if you want the permit bad enough, you'll go and appeal it and fight for it. I was denied for a 26 year old disorderly persons offense. I chose expungement which is due to conclude around the end of the year and reapply for my permit. In hindsight, I think I should have appealed it right off.

Any successful Pro Se Expunctions here in regards to obtaining FPIC?
It takes about 3 months start to finish and that is best case. I read something about 63 days between the time you ask the court for expungement and the court date in order to give adequate time to the law enforcement departments involved with your cases to challenge the expungement. The process is not difficult but it does take a few hours. Lawyers charge about $1000 so you it's not a trivial task but something you can do yourself as NJ Judiciary provides a kit. You just need to follow the directions and make a few trips to the post office to send things certified mail at about $5.50 a letter, about 6 law enforcement departments per expungement. It would be easier if both of your charges were in the same town. My expungement is in Mercer county and the court staff there are super friendly and helpful. Being able to write some letters in Word or other word processing program is a bonus as the NJ Judiciary kit is not the best. My court date is in 5 weeks so I'm hoping for no problems. While I say the process is not difficult, I can't say I've been successful, only that things are been smooth so far.

Sportsman Center Bordentown
First store I was in to took at a handgun was Sportsmen Center. Spent time with Fritz. With all the comments online about needing FID or about rude sales people, it was totally not the case with Fritz. He was a very friendly, let me handle whatever I wanted and spoke to me at my level. Not down to me and not above my head. He had a perfect read on my knowledge and experience and told me go rent at RAF to see what firearms I liked. He also recommended a .22 for me to learn to shoot. After that I went to Cheyenne. They were a little busier and I didn't want to be that guy. The pain in the a** looky-loo. But once the crowd died down, the young guy there spent time with me showing me handguns and was totally cool, too.

Trigger slap, which guns have a case of it?
I've been shooting a few different rental guns and the Glock 19 gives me an unpleasant sting on my middle finger where it is touching the underside of the trigger guard. Bummer, I liked the 19 other than that. No problems with the 17.

Legal impact of a modified firearm
67GTOnut's thread about modifying his M&P by removing the magazine safety had some comments about the legal ramification of using a modified (removing a safety) firearm in a home defense situation. I've also read some similar posts about trigger work on a firearm. Are there any actual legal cases someone could reference about this being a real concern or is this just an urban myth? I don't see how, in a justifiable shooting/self-defense situation, it would matter how the gun was modified as long as it still complied with NJ laws.

What do you think guilty or not guilty?
Let's hear some more facts before we call someone a bully and assume this was some sweet old lady. Maybe it's true and maybe the old lady was the bully. Either way the law says the old lady is guilty. And 70 ain't that old besides. I know plenty of ladies in their 90s and a few in their 100s. Most are sweet people but a few are not ones I'd want to have pointing a gun at me.

Its Wine time
I was talking to some people at at wedding a few weeks ago. The family and friends of the groom pitch in and purchase a tractor-trailer load of grapes from California to make their wine each year. Where do you get your grapes from?

Article about NJ FID card denial - national attention!
This is exactly the thought process. They think someone will commit murder but only with a legally obtained firearm.

Officer cleared in fatal shooting during January traffic stop
I often wonder in these situations if society expects too much from a police officer in these types of "combat" situations. No matter how much training you have, it is very difficult to control your emotions in a situation like this. The officer drew his gun so quickly and got into shooting position and makes it look like a training film. I see why the Glock is so popular.

Finally bought 1st Hand Gun
Congrats. I hope to post a similar post some day. What about the 90-two made you choose it?

Officer cleared in fatal shooting during January traffic stop
Sorry if this has been posted before. Article: http://missoulian.com/news/local/article_2dd02134-477f-11df-aba6-001cc4c002e0.html Video: http://billingsgazette.com/news/state-and-regional/montana/vmix_cdf93fba-47ca-11df-9f5c-001cc4c002e0.html The officer is cool as a cucumber under this stress. I'm shocked that some people think he used too much force. The perp got what he deserved.

Some one elses gun
I find the law stuff immensely interesting. Hypothetically speaking, and not to get too far off on a tangent: Case 1: You're home alone, an armed intruder breaks into your house, you grab your wife's weapon and use justifiable deadly force. Case 2: Your wife has an FID and you do not, You're home alone, an armed intruder breaks into your house, you grab your wife's weapon and use justifiable deadly force. Are you facing any illegal possession of a firearm charges?

Interesting topic. Interesting angle, there might be different interpretations if the gun is your wife's as opposed to your friend's.
