I must have just missed you, pasu0115 and I went to IMA to look for Antiques, but they were closed, so Sarco is always in order when in the area.

I saw few people standing at the counter with Mosins, I was temped to pick up something but wasn't going to wait for you guys to get cleared and then wait another 45 minutes. I'm not sure their network was down, rather I think it was just overwhelmed like everywhere else right now. That must be a long ride for you coming from cherry hill.

Are you surprised? Ikea is a Swedish company and Sweden has absurdly strict gun laws - no private handgun ownership, long guns can only be owned by people who have a valid hunting license. The people there are indoctrinated into believing this is the way it should be, and look at us as a bunch of gun wielding savages. When you explain to them that there are practical uses for guns other than hunting or nefarious activities they look at you with amazement because they have never heard this before and never even considered the possibility.

Politics, Midwest politicians wanted this to help the farmers. So what we get is, less efficient fuel that damages engines and higher food prices. Ethanol is the worst thing I have seen with my small engines, nothing but problems because of it.

The ANJRPC sat down with her at a meeting back when she was trying to push though her .50 cal ban. They were trying to explain to her that the way the bill was written it would have banned all guns .50 cal and up including muzzleloaders and shotguns, sans the .410. Her reaction to them, was to throw her hands up and say "I don't know anything about guns" and stormed out of the meeting. She doesn't want to have a rational conversation about guns, she wants them all banned, period. She is pure evil.

Hopefully the PICS system won't be overwhelmed still at that point. I was at Sarco today and PICS checks were taking 40 minutes to get someone on the phone. I can only image what that's going to be like at an auction if the wait is still that long, auction house PICS checks are usually the worst part about going to an auction when things are normal. I would plan on having to go back a day or two later to pick up your guns if things don't calm down by then.

I don't recall dates being used, but the mags were usually marked 'Law Enforcement Use Only".

The NJ taxman spends most of his time auditing businesses, because that's where they get get the best return on their investment. In this area, I have heard numerous stories of businesses, particularly professionals (doctors, lawyers, etc.), getting jammed up by the taxman over use taxes. Cigarettes are another story, there's a lot more tax than just sales tax that was not being paid when people ordered from the Indian reservations. The state saw that as a priority because they had too much to loose there. I agree, if they had more staff they would go after the smaller amounts, but understaffing is a perennial problem, and I don't think it's very likely to change soon. You would be the first instance I have heard of where someone was asked to pay use tax on a FTF gun transaction (I'm hoping it's not the start of a new trend) . They may very well have found you through the permits, the taxman likes to use official documents to ensnare tax cheats. However, don't underestimate the many different ways they may have come to find you, the one thing you should always remember is that if they audit you, most likely they already have the info they need before they even contact you. What did the state do when they found out you didn't pay the use tax on the collection purchase, send you a letter asking you to remit payment? Most likely, this is why I said don't worry about it. If they find out and decide to act on it, you will most likely be asked to pay up and it will most likely go away with that. Any pistols you own that were bought on a permit (at least the ones since the 90's) are in the NJSP's computer system and can be readily looked up by anyone with the authority to do so. Not sure why the taxman would have gone after you, unless they noticed an unusually large amount of permits coming from a private seller and that raised a red flag, where going though a dealer might not?

You do realize that Texas gets hit by hurricanes fairly frequently, don't you? particularly the warmer areas of Texas.

You make that sound like it always an option. I have never crunched in a public restroom unless it was absolutely necessary.

Weinburg? think again who we're talking about here, she just doesn't care, period.

I would agree. I'm as free market as any business man, but after Sandy I sold three weeks worth of firewood in one day. People were desperate to stay warm and had no power, I could have increased my prices, and they would have paid them, but I didn't think it was right to do so. From a long term perspective, I wanted to be thought of as the local business man who didn't take advantage of people when they were desperate. I want to build my business for the long term, and bad reputations travel better and farther than good ones. I was just happy to have a busy day after being closed for two days.

OK, lets clarify a few things: The state, not the IRS, collects sales and use taxes. You are obligated by law to pay use tax (to the state of NJ) on anything taxable that you did not pay sales tax on, whether it's a $2000 big screen TV from you buddy or a $.50 candy bar from your cousin. That being said, no one does it, and the state hasn't, at least so far, gone after private persons for this, outside of maybe a few rare insistences. So don't worry about the use tax.

Can't speak for Llama's directly, but I find most .380s I own like Euro ammo better, probably because it's a little hotter. Try some PPU or RWS, American Eagle was a jam-o-matic in most of my .380s.

OR, if you can find an FFL that will hold them until you get your FID, you could order them now. Ask them first.

True, if the OP were named specifically in the will.

I don't think non NYS residents can get any carry or possession permits in NYS.

IANAL, but I think it could be construed as a illegal transfer, if he buys them personally (which is most likely, since buying them under the LLC my be problematic). It would probably be legal for you bring you own long gun, but having it loaded is a gray area.

^^^^THIS^^^^^ Kali is not better then NJ, they both suck bad, but at least I can buy a lot more things here. And, if SCOTUS bitchslaps the non carry states, NJ will clearly be better.

I would take that "trade" Gay get to marry Gun owners get to: carry, AWB is repealed, OGM is repealed, PPP system is scraped and FID is for FTF purchases only. (OK, I'm not against gay marriage to begin with, but if we can trade a few horses between the D's and R's, it's win-win)

If Dick's took actually anyone's money and didn't deliver the product in NJ (although I don't think they were selling any AR types in NJ), they have a big problem. In NJ that's a clear case of consumer fraud, and would subject them to treble (triple) damages and a $10,000 fine per occurrence. More than likely, the didn't actually take payment ahead of time, most large companies know better. The law in other states may be different.

Everything about buying guns in NJ is archaic. We don't need to be using hand typed permits to buy handguns either, but the majority of politicians here don't want to fix these problems because they want the process to be a pain in the ass.

The way I read that, you would be able to transfer them, but it would be subject to the same $200 transfer tax and 4 month wait MGs are now.

There have been other panic periods over the years, but as others have said, this is the worst. The 2008 Obama scare lasted about a year, this one is anyone's guess.

Yeah, I had a guy approach me at my office claiming to be collecting funds for Sandy relief, he had no proof he was legitimate. I explained we suffered losses from Sandy as well. Not CL related but same BS.
