No Dicks for me.

Just don't let him where any NRA apparel on that fateful day.

Christie is a Politician and an attorney. What do you expect. He is still better than King Mike. And, he certainly needs to continually hear from us, and the national community as well.

Politicians are afraid of these, as they are a threat to politicians if someone possesses them and knows how to use them. Although, there is new body armor that is somewhat effective. Sorta like wrist rockets, no?

Ruger SR9 or SR9C Over budget.... Consider an S&W M&P 9 w/ a safety. It's striker-fired, but still...

Best all round... I would have to say a Ruger 22/45 Lite. But, depending on what you want to do, the SR22 might be the ticket. However, my favorite is the S&W M&P 22. And, of course you cannot go wrong with any of these.... Ruger Mark II Ruger Mark III Hunter .22LR revolver (Ruger SP101, S&W 317, 617, Taurus 990, 992) Buckmark

I would suggest a Remington 870 or Mossberg 500 12 gauge shotgun and a Ruger 10/22.

You will have to pay $18.00 and fill out all the forms you normally would to get a pistol permit. When you do it, just check the box for lost FID Card. And, while doing so, make sure you get some pistol permits to use at your leisure, as well. I guess the cop shop could ask you to get re-fingerprinted, but shouldn't have to. When picking up your replacement card, you will have to have the PD put the required print on the card.

Actually, I guess it doesn't. +10 for your earlier post. Without reading it closely, I thought you were for "middle of the road" BS.

Elitist RINO Statist. I knew that when he went after the 'radical' NRA for calling out the Czar on protection for is children.

Doesn't your driver's license have a photo idea on it?

There are countless examples in which the Republicans showed their incompetence during the last two national elections. And, if you think it is just stupidity, then so be it. I do not. Boner was handed the House of Republicans by his base and the American People (who form the Tea Party), and what did he do, he gave them the finger and cried. Give me a break. If you think for one minute that these clowns aren't working together in that "transparent" government down there to find ways to tax us and take away our freedoms, while growing government, you are mistaken.

Yes, even if it was a logical thing, the government would not get it right.

They are being villainized as being to far to the right by a dishonest MSM. Christie has an identity crisis... He's a RINO.

A true-to-form NJ State of Mind! Help us.

That is mostly BS. The last two elections were purposefully thrown by Republican heads that are on the same agenda path (secretly) of Obamanism. The Republics came out weak intentionally, and the talking heads that promoted that brilliant Republican plan are still in power. It's good cop/bad cop and we are all sitting in the interrogation room. America is already bankrupt. There is NO mathematical way to turn it around, so the clowns down there is Washington are trying to exert as much control as they can, hold onto as much power as they can, and to let us down as gently as they can.... The fact is that most people given a proper education, etc. and a healthy childhood, etc. gravitate to conservative values. What I am saying is that if you have a "great communicator" that can appeal to that innate conservative value system, then as has happened in the past, there would be a land slide. The flip side of this is that most liberals have some kind of mental deficiency. They have been marginalized, victimized, not taught to be independent, etc.. And, the powers that be want to promote that kind of mentality. But, with cogent thinking and logic, and someone that can express them, conservative views win. I am not talking about the radical right, I am talking about a conservative frame of mind with a libertarian slant. The people aren't fooled and they know that neither parties have any intention of putting forth conservative candidates that believe in a limited role of the government, and in concentrating the power with the people.

Yeah, hopefully Biden will be out of a job and he can teach it. When they mandate parenting classes and classes for public officials to avoid corruption, scandal, lying, etc. then I will consider it.

Yeah, that would be a great idea! NOT! Either working for the other side, OR, haven't paid attention to the last two elections. A RINO "moderate" Republican cannot beat a liberal statist in an election. The ONLY hope for our country is a Constitutional Conservative that can speak clearly and enunciate his or her views clearly and appeal directly to the people, and not through the talking heads of each of the two parties or the MSM.

Thank you for the smooth transaction.

I think all taxes, hoops, etc. that Americans will be subjected to should also be put on the legislature. I want an instant background check every time one of them casts a vote. Mental health checks monthly....

So, how many citizens that are discussing this have had an encounter with a LEO when they were properly transporting their firearms to or from an eligible place and have been detained, the firearms confiscated, etc? How many LEOs out there have come across citizens in their stops and have discovered by some means, including disclosure from the person being stopped, and that have taken it, regardless, to the next level... Arrest, etc? Now, the answer might be a little skewed on this forum because many (not all) are more informed. So, in order to have a more realistic dialogue expand it to your friends and coworkers, etc. The problem is that gun owners are guilty until they prove themselves innocent in this state, and its always in the back of their mind. Even when trying to do the right thing, transporting correctly, carrying out private sales, etc. there could always be some problem leading to an arrest or confiscation, etc., and there is mandatory jail time, everything is a felony, and the legal system beyond the LEOs is unfair. It can be lengthy, embarrassing, costly, damaging, etc. and citizens are always at the mercy of LEOs that may also be endeavoring to do the right thing, or they may have an agenda, lack experience, or may very well be uneducated on the law. And, either side, LEOS (or the citizens) might also be having a bad days that could further escalate this situation. A LEO might not like the way you look, etc., or he or she might be actually looking for someone that looks like you, and that could make a citizen a victim of these predatory gun laws. The power is all in the court of the law enforcement, and that is why a LEO has to be held to a higher standard. And, the aspiring law enforcement chiefs and other leaders are politically placed and largely agree the anti-Bill of Right's crowd. In addition, both LEOS and law-abiding citizens could also have prior experiences with each other which, although not related, could unduly nfluence the outcome. And, in all of this there is serious potential jeopardy on the part of the citizen. And, LEOs are trained to be suspicious, to be apart from the citzens and no longer trained as a "peace officer" but rather "law enforcement" so you have "guilty until proven innocent" and "suspicious all the time" and an "us" and "them" mentality showing itself in sentiment on this and other forums. And, for the LEOs that do the right thing, they get embittered by the negative sentiment directed toward law enforcement.

Well, I blame that knucklehead and the rest of the MSM for overpublicizing these events.

It's easy... don't do anything to get pulled over when you are transporting guns in the car. Discretion is key. No talking on the phone, all bulbs working, seat belts on, etc.. and do not have them "hidden" deeply in the car. In an SUV a blanket over them would be quite acceptable. And, don't volunteer information that isn't asked for... like your destination, etc. I don't think you have to disclose where you are going if an officer asks, but if you don't answer him, then he or she might get suspicious. You might say something like I am going to meet up with a few buddies in Easton, etc. Oh, and don't leave things like your range earmuffs, Combat Handguns magazine, a Ruger cap, etc, in plain sight. If the officer asks you if you are carrying guns, do not lie, but tell them that you are transporting them properly, locked up with ammo separated in the back of the car. And, make sure you are on a "direct" route to the range and do not stop unnecessarily (if at all en route). And, be mindful of where you drive. On the way to the range, once, there was road work being done and cars were being diverted into the school parking lot to go around the work. Going on school property is against the law and it is a felony and there is mandatory jail time.

Has anybody seen any of the full-size Rugers or the compact in any of the local shops? How do the triggers on the current-made ones compare to the SR9C Compact? Are 15-round magazines available , or is there still a 10-round limit for NJ residents?

If you already have a defensive handgun, then consider getting the 617. Otherwise, get the SP101. I would pass up on the Tokarev.
