Not clear to me exactly what the amendment is. I think all they did was add"removable mag" into that part of the bill the Assembly used "fixed mag" if you register the firearm. The negative is and was, that if you pay the $50 and do that, your heirs have to get rid of the registered firearm. We will just have to wait and see exactly what the amendment was. Frankly, I don't think the person announcing the amendment had any clue what they were saying as they repeated it three times, and three times it sounded different.

You have received correct advice from your counsel

Under the upcoming AWB modifier bill, since this has a detach mag that's all you could have, the bill in its present form says no brake and retains the flash hider prohibition, so you would probably be limited to a fluted barrel or straight barrel.

Carry exemption: (4)A court attendant serving as such under appointment by the sheriff of the county or by the judge of any municipal court or other court of this State, while in the actual performance of his official duties; It appears he was not carrying on his person but rather stored it in his vehicle which was broken into.From the article, seems like his vehicle was parked on a public street. Even if he has a carry permit that is really not relevant to what happened (putting aside his stupidity). Your right to store a firearm on your own property or if you are on the property of another if you are within an exemption seems pretty clear. But storage on a public street is not permitted(for obvious reasons). Yeah, unlawful constructive possession

This is an interesting oral argument that recently took place before the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals by the President of California Right to Carry .org. He wrote an excellent brief and although he stumbles a bit in his oral argument, overall, for a pro-se non-lawyer he did a great job. When the judges pepper him with numerous questions, it shows that they are interested in the case and really want to hear what he says. Some of his arguments are both interesting and creative. The central issue in his case is open carry which was not decided in Perutta. There is another case that the Ninth Circuit is reviewing out of Hi. which may impact what the court does in this case. This case is potentially very important as it is a post Wren case

A U.S. District Court decision in Mass sets no precedent and is not binding on anyone but the parties to the suit. However, knowing that Circuit it is likely they will affirm the decision which will impact that Circuit. The proposed NJ bill on assault weapons, which is really a "one evil feature bill" would result in a de facto ban and/or a featureless AR. I am sure the assembly will move on that in their next round of firearms bills. Either way, and make no mistake the objective is to do in the AR. Any such law will probably be challenged, but the bottom line is, this issue is not going away and will only be laid to rest if and when the U.S. Supreme Court chimes in. That may or may not happen in our lifetimes.

During the first two years Heritage was open I had a membership and enjoyed shooting there. Eventually, things changed for the worse and I dropped my membership. After that I shot there a few times but an ass- hole RSO who gave me a hard time and was on a power/control trip. was the final straw. In comparison, GFH is well run and light years ahead as to how they treat and manage their customers.

It appears that this section of what the Assembly passed addresses the issue under discussion: j. Any person who knowingly has in his possession a large capacity ammunition magazine is guilty of a crime of the fourth degree unless the person has registered: (1) an assault firearm pursuant to section 11 of P.L.1990, c.32 (C.2C:58-12) and the magazine is maintained and used in connection with participation in competitive shooting matches sanctioned by the Director of Civilian Marksmanship of the United States Department of the Army [.] ; or (2) a firearm with a fixed magazine capacity capable of holding up to 15 rounds pursuant to section 7 of P.L. , c. (C. ) (pending before the Legislature as this bill). k. Handcuffs. Any person who knowingly has in his possession handcuffs as defined in P.L.1991, c.437 (C.2C:39-9.2), under circumstances not manifestly appropriate for such lawful uses as handcuffs may have, is guilty of a disorderly persons offense. A law enforcement officer shall confiscate handcuffs possessed in violation of the law. l. Bump stock or trigger crank. Any person who knowingly possesses a bump stock as defined in subsection ee. of N.J.S.2C:39-1 or a trigger crank as defined in subsection ff. of N.J.S.2C:39-1, regardless of whether the person is in possession of a firearm, is guilty of a crime of the third degree. Notwithstanding the provisions of N.J.S.2C:1-8 or any other provision of law, a conviction arising out of this subsection shall not merge with a conviction for possessing an assault firearm in violation of subsection f. of N.J.S.2C:39-5 or a machine gun in violation of subsection a. of N.J.S.2C:39-5 and a separate sentence shall be imposed upon each conviction. Notwithstanding the provisions of N.J.S.2C:44-5 or any other provisions of law, the sentence imposed pursuant to this subsection shall be served consecutively to that imposed for unlawfully possessing an assault firearm in violation of subsection f. of N.J.S.2C:39-5.1 (cf: P.L.2017, c.323, s.2) 1[2.] 3.1 (New section) Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection j. of N.J.S.2C:39-3, a retired law enforcement officer who is authorized to possess and carry a handgun pursuant to subsection l. of N.J.S.2C:39-6 may possess and carry a large capacity ammunition magazine which is capable of holding up to 15 rounds of ammunition that can be fed continuously and directly into a semi-automatic handgun. 1[3. (New section) Notwithstanding the provisions of N.J.S.2C:39-6, a law enforcement officer may possess and carry while on duty a large capacity ammunition magazine and possess and carry while off duty a large capacity ammunition magazine which is capable of holding up to 15 rounds of ammunition that can be fed continuously and directly into a semi-automatic firearm.]1 14. (New section) The provisions of P.L. , c. (C. ) (pending before the Legislature as this bill) shall not apply to the possession of a large capacity ammunition magazine solely used as a prop for a motion picture, television, or video production, provided the large capacity ammunition magazine has been reconfigured to fire blank ammunition and remains under the control of a federal firearms license holder.1 1[4.] 5.1 (New section) 1[Any] Except as provided in section 7 of P.L. , c. (C. ) (pending before the Legislature as this bill),1 a person who legally owns a semi-automatic rifle with a fixed magazine capacity exceeding 10 rounds or a large capacity ammunition magazine as defined under subsection y. of N.J.S.2C:39-1 which is capable of holding more than 10 rounds of ammunition on the effective date of P.L. , c. (C. ) (pending before the Legislature as this bill) may retain possession of that rifle or magazine for a period not to exceed 180 days 1[from] after1 the effective date of this act. During this time period, the owner of the semi-automatic rifle or magazine shall: a. Transfer the semi-automatic rifle or magazine to any person or firm lawfully entitled to own or possess that firearm or magazine; b. Render the semi-automatic rifle or magazine inoperable 1or permanently modify a large capacity ammunition magazine to accept 10 rounds or less1; or c. Voluntarily surrender the semi-automatic rifle or magazine pursuant to the provisions of N.J.S.2C:39-12. 1[5.] 6.1 N.J.S.2C:39-12 is amended to read as follows: 2C:39-12. No person shall be convicted of an offense under this chapter for possessing any firearms, weapons, destructive devices, large capacity ammunition magazines, silencers or explosives, if after giving written notice of his intention to do so, including the proposed date and time of surrender, he voluntarily surrendered the weapon, device, instrument or substance in question to the superintendent or to the chief of police in the municipality in which he resides, provided that the required notice is received by the superintendent or chief of police before any charges have been made or complaints filed against such person for the unlawful possession of the weapon, device, instrument or substance in question and before any investigation has been commenced by any law enforcement agency concerning the unlawful possession. Nothing in this section shall be construed as granting immunity from prosecution for any crime or offense except that of the unlawful possession of such weapons, devices, instruments or substances surrendered as herein provided. (cf: N.J.S.2C:39-12) 17. (New section) a. A person who legally owns a firearm with a fixed magazine capacity holding up to 15 rounds which is incapable of being modified to accommodate 10 or less rounds and was purchased on or prior to the effective date of P.L. , c. (C. ) (pending before the Legislature as this bill) shall register that firearm within one year from the effective date this act. In order to register the firearm, the owner shall: (1) complete a registration statement, in the form to be prescribed by the Superintendent of the State Police; (2) pay a registration fee of $50 per firearm; and (3) produce for inspection a valid firearms purchaser identification card, permit to carry a handgun, or permit to purchase a handgun. b. The information provided in the registration statement established pursuant to subsection a. of this section shall include, but shall not be limited to: the name and address of the registrant; the number or numbers on the registrant's firearms purchaser identification card, permit to carry a handgun, or permit to purchase a handgun; and the make, model, and serial number of the firearm being registered. Each registration statement shall be signed by the registrant, and the signature shall constitute a representation of the accuracy of the information contained in the registration statement. c. An applicant shall register the firearm in the law enforcement agency of the municipality in which the applicant resides or, if the municipality does not have a municipal law enforcement agency, any State Police station. d. Within 60 days of the effective date of P.L. , c. (C. ) (pending before the Legislature as this bill), the superintendent shall prepare the form of registration statement as described in subsection b. of this section and shall provide a suitable supply of statements to each organized full-time municipal police department and each State Police station. e. One copy of the completed registration statement shall be returned to the registrant, a second copy shall be sent to the Superintendent, and, if the registration takes place at a municipal police department, a third copy shall be retained by that municipal police department. f. The heir or estate of an owner of a firearm which has been registered pursuant to this section shall within 90 days after the owner's death dispose of that firearm in accordance with section 5 of P.L. , c. (C. ) (pending before the Legislature as this bill)1 1[6.] 8.1 This act shall take effect immediately. My comments: If what is signed into law reads like this: 1. Determine if you are going to comply or not. If you are : (2) determine if your mags can be modified to function properly 3. If so, modifiy them or purchase 10 rounders or if you are keeping your 15 rounders for each firearm you want to use your 15 rounders in register and pay $50 per firearm. This really makes no sense if you purchased your handgun in State and it was transferred here to you or resold on a purchase permit to a third party. It also makes no sense for a long gun, if transferred in State by a FFL or if you sold it privately you should have your COE which could be filed as proof of the new purchaser. Hopefully, someone will think of this in the Senate. If you acquired a long gun out of State which was transferred out of State and then brought into NJ, yeah the State Police would not have a record. The same would be true if you have ATF dual residency status and acquired a firearm out of State and brought it into N.J> $50 per firearm is too high and is a further screw job. But here is the part that also sucks: It also appears that heirs cannot re-registeri if you registered and heris have to get rid of the registered firearm within 90 days as a penalty or move them to a free State. The way this reads, they could not switch to 10 rounders if they live in NJ. Indirectly, this forces those who comply to modify if you can or buy new 10 rounders, if you want to leave your firearms to your heirs. Otherwise, once you decide to comply and keep your 15 rounders and register a firearm for 15 round use, you have screwed your heirs, who have 90 days to get rid of the firearm unless they move them out of State.

Any buses for Union County?

call sig and ask them

FYI they did not sell them in Fl before Parkland anyway, They are full of shit. Lots of better places to buy ammo anyway.

Need someone to deal with a tree in Scotch Plains, Union County. Have exhausted numbers I have. Overhangs a driveway so of immediate concern. Thanks Steve

I guess the best man is supposed to bring the mags

Without offending any of you who may belong to this religion or denomination, WTF? Click on the red circle with the number 3 in it at the end of this post. The world has certainly gone wacky With crowns on their heads and AR-15s in their arms, couples exchange vows in pro-gun church by Kristine Phillips March 1 at 2:06 PM Email the author 0:58 Couples tote assault-style rifles to Pennsylvania church blessing Couples brought AR-15 rifles to a Unification Church in Pennsylvania on Feb. 28 to have their marriages blessed and their weapons celebrated. (Reuters) Dressed in wedding attire — but with crowns on their heads and assault-style rifles in their arms — dozens of couples went to a pro-gun Pennsylvania church for a commitment ceremony on Wednesday. The couples — some of them renewing their vows while others were exchanging them for the first time — are worshipers at the World Peace and Unification Sanctuary, also known as the Sanctuary Church. The church, in Newfoundland, Pa., is led by Hyung Jin Moon, who called on his followers to bring unloaded rifles to the ceremony. According to the church, the rifles and the crowns (some made of bullets) are the “accoutrements of the nation of Cheon Il Guk” — the sovereign kingdom of heaven on earth, according to the Southern Poverty Law Center. The crowns, says the church, represent the “sovereignty of Kings and Queens.” The rifles — similar to the one used in the Florida massacre — are the “rod of iron” that symbolize defending one’s family and community. So what does a mass wedding and vow-renewal ceremony with AR-15-style guns and tiaras look like? We’ll let the pictures speak for themselves: The Rev. Hyung Jin Moon and his wife, Rev. Yeon Ah Lee Moon, preside over a ceremony at the World Peace and Unification Sanctuary on Wednesday. The woman seated at the back is Hyun Shil Kang, who is regarded by the Unification Sanctuary as the first disciple and follower of Rev. Sun Myung Moon, as well as his spiritual wife. (Jacqueline Larma/AP) Worshipers hold unloaded weapons at the World Peace and Unification Sanctuary. The event led a nearby school to cancel classes for the day. The church’s leader, the Rev. Sean Moon, said in a prayer that God gave people the right to bear arms. (Jacqueline Larma/AP) (Jacqueline Larma/AP) A couple wearing bullet crowns sit with their rifles in their cases. (Eduardo Munoz/Reuters) The church, which also calls itself Rod of Iron Ministries, is an offshoot of the Unification Church, founded by Hyung Jin’s father, the late Rev. Sun Myung Moon. Sun Myung was a self-professed messiah from South Korea who became a symbol of the 1970s cult wars by holding mass weddings for couples who often were strangers, The Washington Post’s Michelle Boorstein wrote. Hyung Jin Moon has woven gun rights into the religious community he leads in Pennsylvania, according to the Southern Poverty Law Center, which calls him an “anti-LGBT cult leader.” To their followers, Sun Myung is the “True Father” and his son is the “Second King” — the True Father’s anointed heir. Wednesday’s ceremony came amid a pitched debate over assault-style rifles, one of which authorities said was used to kill 17 people at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Fla., two weeks ago. The church ceremony raised concerns among officials of a nearby elementary school in Newfoundland, where Wallenpaupack Area School District officials decided to temporarily move students as a safety precaution, although church officials assured that the weapons were not loaded.

One thing you can be sure of whatever he says today, he will say something else tomorrow, and after tomorrow, he will say something different and so it goes

Disagree with the Main Post. Sure there is a lot of noise but nothing catastrophic will be passed here. 3 day wait is not a deal breaker, that is the wait on a handgun if you don't have a CWC. We can debate age 21 on an AR, I have mixed feelings on that one, but would probably vote against. The 500 they want to spend on the schools-go for it. They will never get the AR ban through the full Legislature here. By the way the proposal on the AR ban had a grandfather exception etc.

Here is the problem regarding out of state gun show sales. In a state that has gun shows and does not require in the case of a private sale any background check under state law or any paper trail for that matter, you never know if the sale is legal or illegal because only the parties know if they are eligible to buy and sell a firearm. In many states that permit these types of sales, by non-preempted law or ordinance, private sales may not be permitted on the premises (as defined) where the gun show is held in a public as opposed to a private building. In other States, there are no restrictions. Putting aside what the parties to such a sale actually know, I doubt there is any reliable method or statistic to determine if this is really a problem but I suspect it is BS.

After DC, the agenda should be every State Capitol in the USA starting with NJ

classic firearms FX-9 put a brake on it and reduced capacity Glock mag and you are good to go(at least for now)
