New vehicle for 3 small kids
Really, I will have to check it out. I sold my Santa Fe w/ 250,000 on it and it was still running strong... just didn't want to put any more money into suspension,etc. and with 110,00 commute daily, it was more costly on gas than I wanted and I was afraid it would eventually break down on Route 3, etc.

Awesome vehicle, but too small with 3 kids (two infants) and at the very least a double stroller.

Too small. And, most likely would not be able to install seats rear facing.

Midway doesnt ship Handgun ammo to NJ
I just told the rep when he refused to sell me ammunition that I am a good friend of Larry Potterfield and that he would be hearing from me. Now, I don't purchase anything from Midway.

I also recommend the double Snap and Go stroller for the the babies when they are really small and to have the right infant carseats that can be used with it. If you want a stroller as not so much a commuter stroller, but to walk to places from home, the pricy Valco with the extra toddler seat might work. I had one for a short amount of time, but it was too heavy and hard for my wife to manage and it took to much room when folded up to fit behind the seats in car. These are pricy and huge, but if you get something like the huge Toyota, etc., it might work for you.

New vehicle for 3 small kids
We have a Honda Pilot and Sunshine Radian Carseats... 3 across. Also, we also have a mini-van. My wife also did not want a mini-van, however, it is much more convenient for small children and she accepted our fate. The setup I had with 3 kids (a set of twins also) and a 2 1/2 year old was a Baby Jogger Double Stroller and the mini-van. The Pilot is just a backup car that can transport the whole family. We left the passenger side middle row seat out and put two in the back third row and just one in the position in the 2nd row behind the driver. We were also able to put the full-size double stroller behind the third row with it standing up, and yes, I highly recommend a Baby Jogger Double (and not the mini). For us, it just fit. With that setup, you don't have to worry about side doors when they start getting more mobile getting between one of the kids and you. Sliding doors are much easier and safer, and you can "herd" them all into the mini-van on the passenger side and then get them in their seats... Best option would be a Honda Odyssey, and on a budget the Kia mini-van is top notch. If you still want to go the other route, then I would strongly suggest a Honda pilot (as others have suggested) that will fit up to (3) Sunshine Radian carseats in the second row. However, I recommend that setup for kids over 5 and the mini-van for under 5. The mini-van is infinitely better for kids under five! Especially when you have twins (in my opinion), and/or with rear-facing car seats, getting sleeping kids out, etc. And, you can always put the other seat back in in a pinch to transport Grandma or for you to sit back there while your wife drives, etc... The safety, etc. that it affords is tops. It is really hard to put 3 kids into a 2nd row of a vehicle and you cannot keep your eyes on all easily when doing it. It is much better to get them all in the van and then get them into their seats, especially with a two-year old as well... This works out especially well if you are by yourself with the kids and it gives you a place to change diapers, etc. Multiples are a handful! And, ANYTHING that can make your job easier is worth it. I would also recommend getting carseats and stroller before you purchase the vehicle and bringing them along for the ride to make sure everything fits.

In NJ can you hold an intruder at gunpoint until LE arrive?
Maybe you should run into an adjacent room, close the door and then fire through the door at him if he tries to open it. Expert witness Biden will most likely show up...

What's your next Glock?
Glock 30S or Glock 17 w/ grip chop but what I really want is a Glock .22LR the size of a G19 and/or a Glock single stack 9mm...

transportion of ammo
Whether its the law or not, it is definitely prudent in this state.
-
transportion of ammo
I don't know if it needs to be locked up, but it is probably a good idea and it should be stored preferably in the rear of vehicle, in particular the trunk and away from access by people in the front. It cannot be stored in the same case that a firearm is stored in and should not be stored in a magazine, etc. And, there is no reason to call attention to it by making it visible, etc. It would not be a good idea to have in glove box, etc.

Probably the best thing to do would be to stay away from him and have him lay on the floor with his legs and arms spread and his hands visible at all times. I would have him do this and look away from me so that he could not see what I was doing. I would then get 911 on speaker phone and tell him that if he moves suddenly, aggressively, etc. that I would consider that a threat and take action. Then I would wait for the police. Describe what I was wearing, where I was, and indicate how the police could get in the house, as i would not leave the intruder unattended. I would also be worried that he was not alone.

So let me get this straight
NJ purposefully makes it hard for law-abiding citizens to exercise their Second Amendment rights.

So let me get this straight
As others have stated, your police department could get you to redo your finger prints whenever they want to. Some require it at a certain time frame, say every two years, 5 years, etc. and some require it after a period of inactivity. Other than that when you get your permits you should be able to get as many as you want (at $2.00 a pop) and they should be good for the 90 days and then for another 90 days upon renewal. Some departments may limit the number of permits applied for, or not allow you to renew. This shouldn't happen and you should contact NJ2AS to let them know. Realistically, if you are not getting permission to buy more than one handgun a month through a special exemption say for buying a collection, etc., you won't be able to use more than 5 permits within a given 180 day period and you wouldn't be able to do so. Remember, in this state, firearms are illegal, except for exemptions. The unjust taxing and fees are all part of the tyranny which Americans and NJ residents are now subjected to. And, those background checks are coupled additionally with the instant background fee of $15 or thereabouts.

Sig 1911.......Any thoughts?
I really like the SIG 1911 Fastback. That is what I would purchase if I had some extra funds.

Gifting firearms to your children... legal?
I know this is not the OPs question, but I am curious...If you are gifting them for when you are deceased, it is better to make sure your children have FID cards, and that you leave them directly to your children within your will (if that is what you would choose to do). Otherwise, they will be part of the estate and legally owned by your wife/husband. And, they would not be able to transfer handguns to your children while living without your children getting a permit. And, then there would be the question of double taxation... Taxation on the value as part of the estate and then taxation on the "gift" value from your spouse transferring. I wonder how this plays out if your child is a minor... Konfiscation? Or, in that case maybe your wife/husband (with FID card) would need to take possession. And, would Federal laws apply if transferring to your child who lives out of state...

Gifting firearms to your children... legal?
So, what happens to your firearms if you die and leave them to your underage children? Konfiscation? I know that if you are leaving firearms to your adult children, it is better to leave them by name, otherwise they will go under your better half's control. And, she would not be able to transfer them to your children (while living) without a permit (handgun).

Sen Heidi Heitkamp Blasts Michael Bloomberg Over Gun Control Ads
Is it true he drives around with little flags on the front of his limo? Might have to send Heidi some contribution money. Some ads should be pumped into NYC about how the people there are sitting ducks.

If the police don't get involved, you can always tell them you shipped a fully-automatic M16 and that you would like it back.

recommend some pocket 9mms for my wife
Yes. Shield grip with longer magazine is longer than M&P Compact and closer to Glock 19 in length. Not really a pocket pistol, but due to thinness, probably the best IWB carry out there esp. For the price point value. Is it percfect? No. But it is good and trigger getsbwetter
