Height over bore
So is there a standard for Height over bore for an AR using an Eotech XPS? I seen a lot referencing 2.6", but I assume that's referring to the carry handle? Anyone have anything I can reference or know the answer?

I agree with all your points.

Public Saftey & LEO
I would say they don't do as much as some people believe they do. If you can increase your closing % of cases and make arrest that will help prevent future crime. What city or state can afford large police forces? We can't and I think the idea of reduction of police forces has more of an impact on crime than an increase. Look at the crime in Newark after layoffs it has spiked in 2011. Some of that is due to perception of a smaller police force & some of that is what the community has become. "Snitches get stitches" "don't talk to the police".... The community is being lead by the criminal element and even the citizens have to align with them somewhat or face reprisals. The people don't have a leg to stand on because they do have to go to the grocery store, work, etc. They are defenseless while the Gangs are armed with "Machine Guns" (Per the Star Ledger). How can unarmed citizens stand up to a bunch of armed gangs? They can't, so in order to survive they must look the other way for the most part.

Public Saftey & LEO
So our Attorney General feels that protection of the public is NJ responsibility and feel that allowing shall issue would increase danger to the permit holders and the public. At the same time cities & towns are laying off police. Now I know we all know this & we all can dedicate a thread just to that discussion, but it made me take a look at LE ratios. So the standard know a days is about 2.3 LEO for 1K citizens (It could be higher in larger cities) & I took a look at NJ cities as well as cities in anti gun states as well as pro gun states. I am sure my # are slightly off on how they figure it out, but you will see the trend... Newark (Post layoffs) 4 per 1k Camden (post Layoffs & Rehires) 3.8 per 1k Jersey City 3.6 per 1k Irvington 3.3 per 1k Plainfield 3.22 per 1k Lowest NJ city was Elizabeth with 2.7 per 1k Boston 3.49 per 1k DC 6.76 per 1k Gun friendly states. Dallas 2.77 per 1k Atlanta 2.7 per 1k Austin 2.0 per 1k Phoenix 2.0 per 1k Provo .84 per 1k So this data shows that we are a police state after the layoffs and we are seeing a rise in violence. So NJ was keeping itself in control by acting like NJ was a prison and keeping the population in check. Now their less guards the prisoners will get worse while we don't have Shall issue CCW & Castle Doctrine.... Which I believe is my point of my post.

Waiting on FID - How Long Before I Should Worry?
It took 6 months to get mine & my references were done right away. It can't hurt to call and say that you asked your references and they said they haven't heard from the police. Anyone disagree?

Changing address on FID
My address change took 10 1/2 weeks to complete in my town so good luck. I ordered a Rock River 4 weeks after applying thinking that I will be fine... The permit came in one day before the rifle and then I got the run around that they were to busy for me to pick it up. I also emailed @ the 4,8,9, & 10 week mark. I received the run around about getting it signed by the chief at the 8 week mark. I should of applied for pistol permits when I did it because I heard from my local gun shop that my town has a 90 day period for Pistol permits.

Heller & McDonald has nothing to do with Conceal Carry. Did either have Conceal Carry laws? Was either about Bearing arms outside the house? No & No!

Moving to West Orange - how is PD for FIDs/PPs?
An address change shouldn't take as long as a new FID, but I have had an experience where it took 3-4 weeks one time and 10 weeks on another one all in the past 5 years. Neither of the towns were West Orange.
