I would have to second that, I learned that from experience

Eric, this is the process for making match grade ammo. If you just want to make go bang ammo, weighing and trimming cases, weighing bullets, reaming flash holes and retumbling are not necessary. The most important thing is to weigh your powder charges accurately. Your Hornady dies would be more than sufficient.

I'll second that opinion

Do all the numbers on it match? Lugers do tend to break extractors sometimes. If it's all matching, and you break an extractor, it will lose significant value when you have to put a non matching extractor in it. If it's not all matching anyway, it wouldn't really matter. If your pistol says 9mm on it, it should be 9mm luger. I don't recall if any were made in 9mm kurz (.380) and highly doubt any were ever made in 9mm Makarov or 9mm Largo. Hopefully someone else can confirm that for you. You are not required to bring your permits with you to the range, but bringing a copy is not a bad idea.

Welcome to the club Eric, I just got into reloading last year and am still getting the hang of it. As you now know, it's not that complicated once you learn what it's all about.

I would agree, I have a K31 and a K11, both excellent, well made and very accurate. As far as the cases, it will launch them over your head and land behind you if you work the bolt with some vigor.

If you are going to turn 21 before you are likely to see your FID you may want to see if you can add permits to your in process FID application, since the process is exactly the same. Many towns will let you add to apps that are in process. If they won't, you could put in a second app for permits now, but you'll (most likely) have to pay the $18 to the NJSP again.

I see your point, but raising fees is still not going to free up police to do actual needed police work. If they tried to charge actual cost they would start to run into the same problem NYC had with their excessive fees, which they are now being forced to roll back.

Frank, another thought for you. Have you ever considered getting some dealers together to sue the state under the Interstate Commerce Clause? The point being that all this blatantly unnecessary bureaucracy (as well as OGAM) and the major delays it causes with people getting permits is severely interfering with an FFL's ability to conduct business selling a legal product. This would force the state to explain why this antiquated permit system is still necessary now that we have NICS and why it takes months in many towns to get permits. I think the state would have trouble making a rational argument to support our current system.

This argument (for getting rid of the permit system) really needs to be presented to the general public as a grossly wasteful, needless, redundant, antiquated system that is cost tax payers a small fortune. We need to express that this system is a waste of precious police resources in tough economic times. Your town is losing a lot of money processing these applications, the $18 goes to the NJSP, the town only gets the $2 per permit, which is not even close to cost. Once NICS went on line, this system became totally obsolete. Most non gun owners aren't going to care about the hoops they make us jump though, but they will understand the waste involved when we explain that these backround checks are being done at least twice for each purchase.

A member of the Armed Forces on active duty is a resident of the State in which his or her permanent duty station is located. If this applies to your son, he is eligible to buy a handgun in NC, and later legally bring it back to NJ without permits if he moves back here. The other sentence about commuting is describing an alternate residency scenario. Your chief is misinterpreting the federal reg(or has a deliberate ulterior motive).

Go for it if you are getting multiple handguns, the NJSP has been granting them without much hassle.

You were able to purchase as many handguns as you had permits and money for before OGAM on a single NICS check. Now you can buy as many handguns as are on your exemption at one time. Long guns are still unrestricted. You will need to fill out additional 4473's if you buy more than 5 (I believe) guns at a time, as well as a COE for each long gun.

I'm not saying you're wrong, because I don't know the answer, but you wouldn't consider renting a hotel room taking possession? That room is under your control and not open to the public. I don't see much difference between a hotel room and an apartment (which can also be rented for short stays). As far as the Revell case, the link you posted deals with protections under FOPA not applying because of the hotel stay (he had stopped traveling). I didn't see anything addressing an argument that NJ law would or would not consider a hotel room a (temporary) residence. This is probably because the PAPD arrested him at the airport and the prosecutor could have easily argued that under NJ law he was not transporting the handgun to a place covered under the exemptions (range, place of business, for repair, etc.) even if the hotel room would be construed as a residence. I'm not saying I'm right, I'm just putting it out there to consider.

I know a guy who lives in CA and said to me in CA it is legal to drive your motor home with a loaded gun in your lap (or anywhere else in the RV) since it is considered a second home there. You cannot drive a car with a loaded gun in CA without a carry license. This obviously would not fly here.

Just make sure it doesn't fit ANY semiauto. If it does, get rid of it ASAP

I would say if you could make the case that this would be legal (at his mothers house), a hotel room would also have to be legal (putting the Revell case aside for a moment). Think about it..... you are taking possession of a hotel room and even have contract to prove it. Where do you draw the line? I have done work for some extended stay hotels, and the maintenance guy was telling me that they had some people who had sold their houses and had moved in permanently, while others are only staying for a week or a month in the same facility. Other people move into hotels for a time while moving from one house to another or while renovating their house.

PP's started in NJ around 1966 - along with FID and a prohibition on open carry

Up north it's because they're all ex Jerseyians and have an hour and a half commute to and from work each way.

How do you pull them up onto the rig? Do you lower some kind of gaff down to the water level?

I didn't realize that NJ doesn't use the term "Felony". Either way you could end up in prison for 365 days or longer. So what is a person who is convicted of an "Indictable Offense" in NJ called? a Convicted Felon? a Convicted Indictable Offensee? Just curious.

I've never heard of the Morgantown show, the ones up by Scranton don't have very good reputations, although I haven't been to one up there in about ten years. The White Plains show is not bad, but it's smaller than the Middletown show and you spend a lot before you even get in the door - Tappan Zee toll, parking $8, admission $15. I'd only recommend it if you're desperate for something you can't wait to get at the next Middletown show, since it's a lot of the same dealers. Forks of the Delaware in Allentown is next weekend if your into milsurp and old stuff or go to York, PA (also next weekend) for the big show & machine gun shoot.

It is a felony to possess a magazine that is capable of holding more than 15 rounds and fits into a semi auto within the boundaries of NJ.

True And the problem is there would be no legal way for you to dispose of it under the law, even though it was 100% legal until the second someone created a semi auto for it to fit into. What do you legally do then? The same can be said for machine gun mags, if it only fits a full auto it's legal until a semiauto version is created, which is happening more and more nowadays.
