Without permission from the person who went through this, I am reluctant. I've lost touch with him since he moved to PA.

I'm sorry but I can't remember the exact statute at this point, but the charges were directly related to the accusation by a neighbor that the guy was in his backyard with a handgun, of that I am sure. Not surprisingly, this person moved to PA, after which, I lost touch with him.

Ok, thanks guys for that. Personally I wouldn't take the chance, and unfortunately this is I guess exactly what the State is looking for - to intimidate gun owners with the incessant threat of prosecution. I know someone who was prosecuted for possession of an un-concealed lawfully owned handgun on his own property - outside the house. This happened roughly 15 years ago in one of our more urban cities close to NYC. A neighbor called the police, they showed up, arrested this guy, and confiscated his gun collection. He was then prosecuted. He beat the wrap, but not because of the reg you cite here. He beat it because his lawyer got the complainant to admit in court he never actually saw the firearm in question. However, if I remember this all correctly, the case was not dismissed after that revelation, neither the Judge nor the prosecution would dismiss the case even though the guy that called police admitted in court he didn't actually see a gun. It went to the jury and they acquitted this guy. I also recall that this person went through a legal battle with the police to get his guns back, and that took many years. Personally, I wouldn't do this (CCW on my property outside the house). But for those willing to take the risks, I tip my hat... Cheers

Get one before the NJ State Legislature catches up with the latest and greatest in pump-action design. Supposed to be come out at the end of this year. Looks bad-a**. I already have a pump-action tactical, but I may spring for this puppy anyway. http://www.keltecweapons.com/news/preview-kel-tec-shotgun-ksg

Hi. Can you cite the specific NJ Statute that says you can carry your firearm concealed outside your home on your property? I am skeptical of this interpretation because in JEFFREY M. MULLER, et al., Plaintiffs, v. THE HON. PHILIP J. MAENZA, the State AG takes the position that there is no Federal protected right to carry a firearm beyond ones own home: "...They [uS Supreme Court] also do not cite any case law that interprets Heller as recognizing a federal constitutional right to carry a handgun beyond one’s home. Notably, the post-Heller cases arising out of the District of Columbia, where Heller originated, have not recognized". One can reasonably interpret this to mean the AG is saying it's perfectly ok to carry inside your home without the pesky CCW permit, but NOT outside. I have Nappen's book, and I haven't found any discussion of being able to legally carry concealed without a CCW permit on your property beyond your home. NJ being NJ, I personally wouldn't do it (carry outside around my property). It's just not worth the risk of a long life-ruining prison sentence. One Brian Aitken is one too many already. Regards....
