Old Glock guy

Damn, I could watch that over and over, and laugh every time!

Just curious about this. How does admitting to having a firearm, which is perfectly legal, give a police officer probable cause to search one's car?

I think I'm going to finally break down and get a shot timer. Do they work OK at a busy range where lots of others are shooting?

I was also there. Sorry we did not know who the other NJGF members were. Interesting to hear Brian's story told by himself. I'm enjoying his book, but also finding it troubling. Truly a "There but for the grace of God..." situation.

Nice work Angelo! Sadly, it will fall on deaf ears.

Well said!

Whew, I'm relieved to hear that. But I got a little concerned because vladtepes took you quite seriously (I think, unless he was joking as well). And you're absolutely correct, the whole thing is utter BS. Government creates mag limits because they assume that people who own guns could snap at any time and turn into mass killers, totally neglecting the fact that they (legal gun owners) would be far more likely to be acting in self defense, and could well need the additional rounds.

Whoa, whoa, whoa! Slow down there buddy. Before we start stirring up a hornet's nest and creating a panic solely on vlad's word (no disrespect to him), it might be a good idea to see if anyone has ever been prosecuted for this. Moreover, if they have not, why give this state ammunition (pun intended) to start going after legal gun owners for a technicality like that?

That was the first thing I thought of. I have one in my get home bag.

I believe you got it right with your last paragraph. I have observed the same thing as well, but I try not to lose too much sleep over it.

I thought we already have an AWB?

Sadly, I believe you are dead on with this.

Nice! Damn, that kid can sing!

This has been discussed here over and over again. A quick search turned up this: http://njgunforums.com/forum/index.php/topic/53745-traffic-stop-question/?hl=+traffic%20+stop%20+with%20+firearms I would guess there are probably a bunch of other threads on this topic. The search function is your friend.

Well you have to vote one way or the other. Since you are never going to find someone who exactly echoes your views, pick the one who is closest. And if you value your 2A rights, you probably should be voting Republican. To the OP, just take a look at last year's legislative agenda, and that will be the start of their wish list. I'm pretty sure it's going to be a feeding frenzy of new gun laws, which is why we need to take a look at vulnerable anti-gun people and target them in the next election. WTF, lol to that video!

Totally agree! I think Alex brings a lot of energy and enthusiasm to our cause. I was the guy in the middle of the room who expressed that, and praised him for focusing on CCW, which can get people excited, rather than getting bogged down in mundane tasks like getting municipalities to honor their permitting requirements. I also mentioned how it would be good to coordinate our efforts with others who are working on this project, like Albert Almeida (who was present at the meeting and has posted on this forum), and Dwight Kehoe at TPATH, who is working on a Second Amendment Protection and Preservation Project in our state: http://www.tpath.org/sappa.html P.S., boo, thanks for posting that. I meant to put something up about the meeting, but had not gotten around it.

Wait, I thought journalists are supposed to be unbiased?

Somehow we need to get the word out that concealed carry is not about guns, but about the basic human right to be able to defend ourselves against the predators in our society. How dare they (the State of New Jersey) continue to use tricks of language to deny us the ability to protect ourselves and our loved ones!

I think it comes down to that if the OP feels uncomfortable with the idea of checking a firearm in his luggage at the airport, he should not do it. But as glennp and others have noted, many of us do it all the time, and as far as we know, no one has ever had a problem.

I believe Missouri has a law like that in place. How does that help us in NJ?

Exactly! They are circumventing one of the fundamental principles of our government, that it is the job of the legislative branch to make new laws.

Yes, sad but true.

Yes, never had a problem with my SR22. Runs reliably, fun to shoot, and same controls and DA/SA as my Beretta 92 A1

Greetings from another north Jersey guy (Wayne) and GFH member.

Yes, you are correct. You would need to answer "yes," and follow with the simple explanation, "The State of NJ did not deem that I had justifiable need." Or more to the point, "The State of NJ did not deem my life to be worth defending.."
