OK, so if my sister comes and lives with me, she isn't on the lease, so she is not permitted to posses or carry her gun while living with me even though my apartment is her "residence" on her license, bills, work paychecks, etc?

Exactly, otherwise under section e. exemptions, nobody could rent a home (dwelling), apartment, or lease a storefront (place of business) and be able to carry there. The exemptions state "his dwelling... residence... place of business". Doesn't imply ownership, it implies a state of being, as in I live/reside here (my apartment), I work here (my jobsite location).

You interpret that as you being the owner?

IANAL, but I'd say you look good to go. If you work at the 11 acre park, and have a w-2 and paychecks from your father's company, it is your "place of business" that is a "fixed location".

Yup, money order. I use a MO from my bank, doesn't have to be a USPS MO in my experience. $2 cash per HG permit.

This whole M-1 carbine look-alike business has nothing to do with the named list or the evil feature list. It is nothing more than bullying by the AG's office. Just like the IO rifle scam they pulled off. Now some dealers are afraid to sell anything that shares AK-ish or M-1ish styling for fear of AG reprisals even if the rifles aren't named and meet the NJAC evil feature list (which is the rule for how "substantially identical" can be used). Just look at this .22. It is nothing more than a 10/22 that shares styling to a m-1 carbine, and we're all scared its defined as a AW. This is part of the AG's brainwashing campaign to slowly re-empower the "substantially identical" clause in the statutes even though there is case law and NJAC rules wrapped around how it can be used constitutionally.

I'd use your example as one regarding being discrete with the transportation of guns. I agree with that. No need to flaunt or draw attention to the fact that you are legally transporting guns. If you had a sign on your car saying "transporting guns", that's RAS enough to get pulled over and scrutinized. Besides being discrete, I'm not going to waste my time with trying to adhere to fictitious LE scenarios based on what LE might or might not think that was the law. Its bad enough many of them don't understand our confusing gun laws as it is, no need to feed into that. Otherwise, provided you are transporting within the rules of law, LE can do nothing. If they try, the prosecutor will throw out the charges or they will look like a fool in front of the judge.

Probably not, but fits my purposes for edc as I don't get wet much. If you are outside in the elements, I'd look for a textured g-10 grip material knife.

IMO No. There is nothing in the statutes that comes close to being interpreted this way. The gun just has to be unloaded, period. A loaded firearm is one that has a round in the chamber, and/or has a loaded mag, belt, container, etc attached in a way where it is ready to allow the gun to fire upon charging the weapon. If the mag is not attached to the gun, there is no way the ammo can jump into the gun, hence the gun is unloaded.

Nice,thanks, just ordered. Looks like it will make a nice EDC. Gotta love Amazon Prime, free 2 day shipping. I have a CRKT Ken Onion Ripple, very cool knife.

What's with all the "locked case" talk. Nothing in the statutes demands that. It must be in a "closed and fastened case, gunbox, securely tied package". There is no talk of locking, or what type of case, as in metal, plastic, or fabric etc. For instance, a zipper is a form of fastener.

Does that old news device use hydrocoptic marsel vanes powered by a drawn reciprocation dingle arm?

Responding to AK v M-16 threads... Its like going to the range with one of these

When I first saw it...

Unloaded in a fastened case, does not need to be locked. Ammo does not need to be carried in any specific manner, it can be in the same bag as the gun right next to it. Mags can go in the same bag as the gun, they can even be loaded. The only specific rules on ammo are hollow point bullets. They are transported under the same exemptions as transporting a HG, i.e. to and from store, range, kept in home, etc. At the NJ2AS meeting Nappen was at, he joked that you can even have a loaded mag right next to the chamber of the gun and it would be legal under NJ law. The gun just cannot be loaded that is.

a) People are afraid of what they don't understand. Many people may change their attitude on guns after you take them to the range. This is my suggestion to try. Don't knock it till you try it! b) There will always be the "I don't like guns" type of person. I respect their opinions (I have some in my family). What I don't respect is when they try to push their opinions and attitude as in "I don't like guns, so I don't think anyone should have them". That's when they get the argument on freedom, liberty, and 2A rights. If they don't like them, and they feel they never will, I ask them not to buy any and to leave us that do alone. I don't really flaunt owning guns, but I'm also do not avoid talking about it. I tend to mix it into conversations when discussing hobbies and interests with new people that I meet. More often then not, people are interested to discuss it even if they don't own guns. If they shy away, I leave it alone.

From what I gather, you can make an appointment at the local BATF office whereever that is to show them your bound book. They can request that they see some or all of the firearms, and you would have to make another appointment for that. NJ it is more complicated as there are no travel exemptions for HG's to take them to the BATF office to show the agent. So you are kinda stuck letting them in your house. They can't just bust down your door without a warrant, but if you refuse to let them in, they could come back with a nice no-knock warrant along with the NJSP. As I said before, any benefits a C&R can afford someone in NJ are pretty much washed out. Detractors - You have to be listed as a gun dealer in NJ, and most likely be subject to business rules, taxes, and municipal codes, etc. - You can't have guns mailed to you - You MIGHT be able to bypass OGAM, but could wind up spending time and money in court while you prove you were right - You are open to yearly inspections - You are open to being accused of being an unlicensed dealer at the federal level, where you would need a different FFL type for buying and selling. This is compounded by the fact that you need to be listed as a gun dealer in NJ. - You have to keep a bound book of all your transactions, which can be subject to a fine tooth comb inspection yearly. Benefits? - You MIGHT get discounts from certain dealers, but it seems many do not honor C&R for these purposes. Makes sense as they are looking to attract high volume dealers to sell to, not someone buying one or two guns looking for a discount. - Any others? Maybe save on transfer fees, I'm not even sure how. I suppose if you go out of state and purchase face to face.

I took the class in PA right across the border. Different organizations host the training, and they get lots of people like emergency responders or fire inspectors signed up. Keep an eye on the PGI site, as more classes will pop up in the spring. Look into http://www.thenlpc.org/ , and the Pyrouniverse forums http://www.pyrouniverse.com/ for a start.

My sympathies for the family of the victim, my heart goes out to them. It infuriates me whenever something like this happens to anyone. What also bothers me is how Bloomberg tries to capitalize on the suffering of others to push his agenda. He is calling for more gun control/laws, when the fact is that no law on the planet would have prevented this heinous criminal from performing his vicious acts with an already illegally possessed stolen gun. As a matter of fact, there are numerous laws already on the books that made it illegal for this guy to have the gun he used in the act. http://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/mayor-bloomberg-members-congress-oppose-gun-control-join-officer-figoski-funeral-article-1.992736

Unless there is some crazy sale going on , I'd just as much forget about Dicks for gun purchases being a NJ resident. Check out the vendor section in here in the forums, pick one, order gun. Easy as pie.

My progressive plan is $213 a year full coverage for my 06' honda VFR. Good thing its cheap as its a garage queen, but that's another topic.

Try Progressive, that's who i have now I dumped Rider a long time ago.

I feel these checkpoints are unconstitutional and are nothing more than "suspisionless investigatory seizures", as pointed out in this excellent article. Just like those roadblocks that ICE does for immigration checks miles inside the US from the border with Mexico. The govt is always probing to see what they can get away with, trying to push that bar as far as they can without anyone pushing back. The supreme court needs to look at this again. Their last decision was based on their idea that a little unconstitutionality or infringement on liberty is OK because the intent is good for the masses (stopping drunk drivers). I always subscribe to the old saying "the road to hell is paved in good intentions". Sounds like judicial activism to me.

I agree with vlad and vjf915, anything on the named list is banned by name, meaning that if it has it stamped somewhere on the gun, you are looking for trouble. The NJAC guidelines only cover rules that prosecutors are to follow when trying to charge someone for possession of a AW using the "substantially identical" clause in the AWB statute. If they don't need to use that clause, and are going for the named list, they just have to prove to the jury that the particular gun is one on the named list. When the name is stamped into the side of it, and they show pictures of other similar guns by that name, would you want your life to be in the hands of that jury?? NJ v Robert D. Merrill, the case where a NJ judge ruled that "substantially identical" is unconstitutionally vague is our ticket to freedom. This is why the NJAC has the evil feature list. If prosecutors can't go after the gun by specific name, as in the name is not stamped on the gun... they have to turn to the NJAC evil feature list. If they don't, and just try to use the statute's definition of "substantially identical", any defense attorney worth anything will bring up NJ v Robert D. Merrill, the NJAC evil feature list, etc and the case will be throw out based on that precedent and case law ("substantially identical" is unconstitutionally vague).... that is unless the gun fails the evil feature game. Right now we are in a position of status quo regarding our AWB. The unconstitutional "substantially identical" is still on the books, but we are protected with precedent and case law, so much that a NJAC was created to place constitutionality around its usage. The entire AWB should be challenged and thrown out of the books, but right now both sides are content with keeping things they way they are, as both sides fear that they have too much to loose by duking it out. Think China and Taiwan.

I said he was a moron because of this. Looks like he admitted to having the gun while in NYC during his stay. FOPA only allows traveling directly through. Plus FOPA, he would have to have the ammo and gun locked in separate cases.
