  1. The settlement is certainly of interest but any admissions made therein by the gov have no binding or precedential effect on any other litigation, especially, any pending or contemplated state litigation in other contexts

    Have one coming in shortly. Just curious what IWB holsters do any of you have personal experience with the P365
  3. You have responded that you own the NJ residence. Under those circumstances you can store your guns at that residence. Do not confuse residence with domicile or either or both of those with your fiscal responsibility to pay State taxes, the latter being irrelevant to your question.
  4. Are you the owner or a tenant in the secondary residence?
  5. ask your internist or GP for a referral or look on the internet---you are over thinking the problem--
  6. Who sells Hexmag parts to convert a 15/30 to a 10/30 ?
  7. M9A3 How is the trigger?
  8. They will come to your house, take your firearms and shoot them with your ammo until the barrels are fouled to get them ready for match tournaments to assure fouled bore zero scope match. They can also get them ready for the professional barrel cleaners that come to you mentioned in the companion thread See link.

    how much are these going for?
  10. What makes you think Nics cannot find out about this since you posted your history on a public forum
  11. US Judge Rejects Challenge to NJ Firearm Carry Restrictions The suit was brought by the Association of New Jersey Rifle & Pistol Clubs and a Wall, New Jersey, resident who was denied a permit to carry a handgun because he could not demonstrate a justifiable need. By Charles Toutant | May 22, 2018 at 04:01 PM Credit: iStockphoto.com A federal judge in Trenton, New Jersey, has turned back a constitutional challenge to New Jersey’s law requiring the showing of a “justifiable need” for anyone who wants to carry firearms in public. The suit was brought by the Association of New Jersey Rifle & Pistol Clubs and a Wall, New Jersey, resident who was denied a permit to carry a handgun because he could not demonstrate a justifiable need. On Monday, U.S. District Judge Brian Martinotti granted a motion to dismiss the challenge. The decision highlights a circuit split over whether a state may place the burden on an applicant to prove need in order to secure a carry permit. Martinotti said he had no authority to grant the plaintiffs’ request to declare the “justifiable need” requirement unconstitutional, because the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit had upheld the constitutionality of that requirement in New Jersey’s gun permit laws in its 2013 decision, Drake v. Filko. In that case, the appeals court held that the “justifiable need” requirement for persons seeking to carry a handgun in public was “presumptively lawful” and did not infringe on the Second Amendment. The plaintiffs argued that Drake was wrongly decided and urged the court to follow Wrenn v. District of Columbia, a 2017 decision from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit. In that case, a special-need requirement for a permit to carry a firearm in public, similar to New Jersey’s, was overturned. But Wrenn is “neither binding nor precedential to this Court and cannot serve to overturn Third Circuit precedent,” Martinotti wrote. The District Court “does not have the authority or power to grant such a request and, therefore, deems this complaint meritless on its face.” The individual plaintiff in the case, Thomas Rogers, has an automatic teller machine business, which requires him to travel to various locations carrying large amounts of cash. His application to carry a weapon was denied by his town’s police chief, who concluded that he failed to establish specific threats that put him in special and unavoidable danger. Superior Court Judge Joseph Oxley affirmed that ruling on Jan. 2. Oxley said Rogers failed to demonstrate he was subject to the level of specific attacks or threats required under statute to get permission to carry a handgun. He only cited general circumstances when he had to leave his machines due to “suspicious activities taking place nearby.” The suit said New Jersey’s courts have interpreted the justifiable-need requirement to determine that generalized fears for personal safety are inadequate, and a need to protect property alone does not suffice to establish a justifiable need. As a result, typical New Jersey residents who cannot demonstrate their life is in danger, as evidenced by serious threats or previous attacks, are effectively subject to a ban on carrying guns outside the home, the suit asserts. The other plaintiff, the Association of New Jersey Rifle & Pistol Clubs, says on its website that it is “the official New Jersey affiliate of” the National Rifle Association. The ANJRPC says the “incredible support and guidance” of the NRA “made this new lawsuit possible,” and goes on to say that the “right to carry’s time is coming in the Garden State.” Named as defendants in the case were New Jersey Attorney General Gurbir Grewal; Patrick Callahan, acting superintendent of the New Jersey State Police; Kenneth Brown Jr., chief of the Wall Township Police Department, and Superior Court Judges Joseph Oxley and N. Peter Conforti. Martinotti cited three failed legal efforts aimed at overturning Drake. As a trial judge he lacked discretion to disregard such controlling precedent, he wrote. Daniel Schmutter of Hartman & Winnicki in Ridgewood, New Jersey, represented the plaintiff along with lawyers from Cooper & Kirk in Washington, D.C. Schmutter said in an e-mail that “We are confident that the United States Supreme Court will vindicate the right to carry a firearm outside of the home as guaranteed by the Second Amendment.” Schmutter previously stated that he was hopeful that the Rogers case could reach the Supreme Court, in light of the conflict between the D.C. Circuit ruling in Wrenn, and the Third Circuit ruling in Drake. He said that courts in New Jersey and other states have interpreted the “justifiable need” standard vary narrowly, and permits are granted very rarely under that standard. Deputy Attorney General Bryan Edward Lucas represented the state defendants. A spokesman for the New Jersey Attorney General’s office, Lee Moore, said in a statement, “We agree with the court’s decision. New Jersey’s law regulating the public carrying of firearms is plainly constitutional. As the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit has already held, our law is valid because it reflects a longstanding approach to promoting public safety.” SHARE ON FACEBOOK
  12. toss a coin, test case, don't think you want to be the test case even if the police do not have pistol grip check points. Still not sure what this looks like when installed.
  13. Excellent show. Initially, incremental progress on both sides is the key. Invite her back. Send her some complimentary NRA training materials and offer her a free basic NRA handgun training course---one on one if necessary, to reduce the intimidation issue
  14. Under N.J.S.A. 2C:58-3, New Jersey residents who apply for firearms permits are eligible to receive an FPIC unless they fail because of one of the statutory "disabilities" under N.J.S.A.2C:58-3(c). That section states that no handgun purchase permit or FPIC will be issued, in pertinent part: I assume that the State Police is advising local police that one day in a mental institution in their minds is a "confinement" voluntary or not. There view is weak and may not be persuasive but that is why they want a medical doctor to sign off. Frankly, a judge may or may not accept the opinion of a clinical psychologist. If you can't find a medical doctor who is willing to evaluate you and sign off youj may have to prosecute your appeal with just a clinical psychologist and should call him as a live witness and not rely upon his report
  15. Yes, he is a political hack. As I see it his position is really to lobby lawmakers into passing exactly what Murphy wants regarding firearms. The State is not stuck between a rock and a hard place. NJ is destine go the way of NY, MD etc to an AW law that will product neutered AR's. Both NY and MD have gotten away with it in the Second and Fourth Circuits. As long as there is a Dem Gov and the Dems control the legislature there is little hope unless the U.S. Supreme Court steps in which is also unlikely unless there is a change in the composition of the Court.
  16. New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy announced Monday that William Castner Jr., an insurance industry executive, former governor’s chief counsel and onetime head of Gibbons’ lobbying group, will be the state’s new gun-control czar. His title will be senior adviser to the governor on firearms. Castner is the senior vice president of corporate and regulatory affairs at Horizon Blue Cross Blue Shield, the state’s largest health insurer. Before that, he was the chairman of Gibbons government affairs practice. At present, Murphy and gun-control advocates in the Legislature are in the midst of attempting to marshal through legislation that would sharply restrict access to firearms, especially semi-automatic weapons and large-capacity magazines. The administration has been pushing stricter gun-control measures in the wake of the Feb. 14 mass shooting at the Marjorie Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida. The alleged killer, a teenager named Nikolas Cruz, was armed with a semi-automatic assault rifle. Castner, Murphy said, will lead the administration’s effort to see that those measures pass. Among legislative measures being pursued are bills that would regulate private gun sales; restrictions on how many firearms a person may purchase in a year; a limitation on the capacity of ammunition magazines; further restrictions on the ability to carry handguns; and further limitations on the ability for persons who have made threats about themselves or against others to obtain firearms. “These are commonsense gun-control laws,” Murphy said during a news conference in announcing Castner’s appointment. “New Jersey will stand up the the gun lobby … in this senseless epidemic.” “We will recognize this epidemic as it is, in strict contrast to what is going on in Washington,” Castner said. Following the Florida school shooting, federal lawmakers discussed imposing some minor forms of gun control, but have thus far failed to take any action. “New Jersey can pursue actions against bad actors,” Castner said. One move New Jersey may consider, Castner said, is having the state’s investment funds divest themselves of investments in firearms manufacturers. Castner began his career with the nonpartisan Office of Legislative Services, an arm of the state Legislature. In 2002, he was named general counsel to the New Jersey Assembly. He was tapped by Gov. Jon Corzine in 2009 to become his chief counsel. In 2010, he was appointed by Assembly Speaker Joseph Roberts to the State Commission of Investigation. He served there for a year before being named chief counsel to the Democratic Apportionment Commission, and in 2012, he was named chief counsel to the New Jersey Redistricting Commission. He is a graduate of what is now Rowan University and Rutgers University Law School-Camden.
  17. Most of my scopes /red dots are Vortex--Good prices, quality is good and lifetime warranty. But lots of manufacturers and lots of choices. Search this forum for reviews and recommendations
  18. Exactly what do you mean by "altercations"? NJ does not have a misdemeanor classification in its criminal code.
  19. To expand this a bit, it would be really great if firearm manufacturers refused to enter into contracts to supply firearms to any State and its political subdivisions that are hostile to the second amendment and have enacted draconian firearm laws, such as New Jersey. I assume Glock, Sig and S&W provide the majority of weapons to law enforcement and department members would not be happy if they had to carry second tier weapons. Didn't Magpul relocate from an anti State to a pro-State.
  20. Don't move here unless you have no choice. Horrible taxes( and soon to get worse), restrictive gun laws and getting worse, I could go on------
  21. In thinking about what I said concerning Christy, I am incorrect, it was his predecessors who raided the State Pension funds
  22. When the deck is stacked it is refreshing to hear speakers who tell it like it is. Next time bring some free range passes with you and invite the committee members down to shoot at the range!!
  23. Move
  24. Yeah! more taxes! that we can't deduct on our Federal Return due to the anticipated impact of a Murphy tax screw job (which we knew was coming( and Trump caps! on tax deductions. Buy everything out of State and have it shipped here! (However the US Supreme Court has a case pending decision where various States want to Scrap the internet sales tax exemption so in State merchants can compete with out of State vendors who do not collect sales tax on internet sales because they do not have a physical presence in N.J. This State is in real bad financial shape not the least of which is that Christy raided the State pension funds and now only about 1/3 of the States future pension obligations is presently funded and at the present rate will run out of money for younger employees who are forced to pay into the system.
  25. It's a POS. Lots of better options available
