The one FFL I use had a guy with a valid PP get denied on the NICS check. When he asked the SP how this could be, they said it happens once in a while. This was not a mistake by NICS, he probably shouldn't have gotten a PP to begin with. All the more reason to get rid of the permit system and just use NICS.

Congrats on your new acquisition! I have a .460 and have to tell you the back pressure from these guns is nothing like anything else I've experienced. Yes, the ammo is expensive for it, but don't worry, you won't want to shoot more than 20-30 rounds or so at a time.

I agree, Christie is the cleverest of politicians, he knows being pro gun will not help him get reelected in 2013, so he is going to dodge this issue as best as he can until then. If he does run for POTUS in 2016 he will need to be pro gun to get the Republican nomination. I wouldn't expect to see much out of him until after the 2013 election (if ever). He saw what happened to Rudy, he knows not to take too many positions that may come back to haunt him.

That's not the way I would interpret that law (for whatever that's worth). If you are going to say that statement is isolated from the rest of items in 2C:58-2 then I could argue that if you, a dealer or a law enforcement agency transferred me a firearm then I could receive, possess, CARRY, or use it ANYWHERE, and not just at a firing range. We all know that is not the case. I believe the comma is there solely because they are listing two separate operators of firing ranges where a transfer would be legal. Major legal battles have occurred over what something written in a law or contract really means. Ultimately it would be up to a judge to interpret what was intended here.

This would probably make a good arguement in the case to get the possession laws revampted, pointing out that they were actually commiting a felony and could theoretically face 5 or so years in jail. This was at the Plainfield city hall, not at a firing range.

This was my point exactly. This falls into the same column as when the county prosecutors do gun buy backs. There is no provision in the law that allows them to buy guns from the general public, the only way for a person to voluntarily dispose of firearm legally to the government is to surrender it to their local PD after sending written notification ahead of time.

Since when does Lautenmummy make sense with anything he does?

Thanks, but the point was Lautenmummy and Miller are physically holding what look like Mac 10's with high cap mags in the NJN news story.

Since we have had many discussions here about how it is considered an illegal transfer to hand someone (even momentarily) a firearm who does not have an FID or PP unless you are at a gun range, how can it be legal under NJ law for them to hold these firearms since they are not LEO's and almost certainly do not have FID's or a carry license? If they were charged, I'll bet they would change the law quickly (although they would most likely just exempt people at a press conference). I could not isolate this story out of the entire broadcast, but if you advance to 6:45 you will get right to the story. http://www.njn.net/news/watch/wednesday.html Yes, I know they will never charged even if they are technically breaking the law.

The only rifle legal for coyote is a muzzle loader and during the day only. Must have a rifle permit in addition to the coyote tag and regular hunting license. The centerfire rifle less than 100 grains thing (if larger than .27 cal.) is for woodchucks.

Apparently the NYSP had called the PASP numerous times before they even tried to contact the guy who moved from LI. The PASP told him that NYSP was very insistent that they go to his house and physically check the serial numbers to verify the guns were indeed in PA. They wanted nothing to do with it and only called him to get NY off their backs.

Unfortunately that is all of NY state, and has been that way for a while.

I saw several of these for sale at the Westchester show. If they're NY legal then they're NJ legal too. Cheapest one was just under $1200.

This is one of the better shows. There are vendors at this show that you won't see at other area shows. I never seem to find a lot of great deals on guns at this show, but there are some deals on ammo to be had (especially if you're looking for more unusual calibers), and parts and accessory selection is good. I will agree this show get crowded.

You should get your FID anyway, no NJ dealer is going to sell you an antique firearm without one regardless of what you may be reading in the statutes, they know the law is ambiguous and contradictory, and don't want to get jammed up. Outside of NJ (most states anyway), no one will require you to have an FID to buy antiques. Do not have antiques shipped directly to you in NJ, you will be breaking the law.

Does Tru Value have any stock, or do they only do transfers?

The cops will come looking for you. I was talking to a guy who moved from LI to PA, he had a handgun permit in NY. Over there you must list all your handguns you own on the permit, and then renew it every several years. He moved to PA a few months after renewing his permit and didn't tell the NY cops he moved. When his permit expired they went looking for him in LI. Eventually they tracked him down in PA through his new PA DL. The NYSP called the PASP and insisted they go to his house and verify that he still was in possession of the handguns. Since PA doesn't care, and has better things to do, they just called him and asked if he still had the handguns, he said yes, to which they said they would tell NY he had them and all was well. And you thought NJ was bad.

One scam I ran into was when I was trying to sell a copier on Craig'slist. I had a guy say he was in CA but moving to NJ and wanted to buy it. He stated in his emails that he was deaf and wanted me to call a special phone number that would transpose my spoken words to text for him. He wanted to send me a check in the mail and call him with instructions on how to pick up the copier when I got it. Knowing better than to just call a phone number, I checked the area code and it was from the Dominican Republic. If I had called the number I most likely would have gotten a $900 or so phone bill that I understand can't be easily disputed since it is outside the US and FCC regulation.

T&T was at the Middletown show, still selling guns (no AR's since they seized his inventory - 40+ guns). He was saying he was charged with selling illegal assault weapons. The Nassau DA is claiming selling an AR with a pinned barrel is illegal in NY, to which T&T was claiming they have been and still are legal for sale in NY since 1994. He was saying this is complete BS and his lawyer told him that without question the charges would be thrown out, but it will take 5 years to clear everything up. He didn't seem worried at all, more like annoyed that he will have to go this ordeal. I smell a big lawsuit coming out of this.

ANJRPC does this at Cherry Ridge. They have Women's Day at the Range and Family Day, you do not need to be a member on those days, there is no fee (although they ask for donations) and volunteers teach the new commers safety and how to shoot.

+1 I don't think it's an accident that ever since the History Channel came around 10-15 years ago, and started showing programs about the history of guns and their inventors, the public perception of guns has become more favorable.

+1 That's why most rural states do not have BS gun laws, most people there grew up around guns and don't fear them. Just look at Vermont, the most Democratic state in the union and you don't need a carry license for CC.

I thought CT had an AWB similar to ours, the gun should be compliant, the mags I thought had to be 10 rounders in CT. Maybe they have a pre ban exemption?

The "permanently" part came from Title 13 which is the AG's (Farber) interpretation of the law. There is nothing in 2C (actual law) that requires them to be permanently blocked.

The ABC story, from this they only thing you see is the store owner telling the "customer" you will get in big trouble if he (the "customer") takes the pin out of the stock. Where is the crime here? If they had more than this they would have undoubtedly shown it. Got to be one of the most biased reports I've seen in a while. http://abclocal.go.com/wabc/story?section=news/local/long_island&id=7965139
