Those who moved to Florida Sorry, Those Thinking of Moving to Fla Don't.
The committee barely killed because like every committee there is a one person majority based on the majority party. Florida is still one of the few states that has a republican Super majority. Even if it were to get out of committee it would not have passed. Bunp stock didn’t pass abs the three day waiting period happened years ago 21 for AR15 private sales passed It needs the house and then full legislature 21 is a gimme because trump will pass it federally That being said if Floridians get lax allowing the northern liberals to control the vote we will be screwed. The non urban center / snowbird Floridian needs to show up at the polls or risk the transition. The interesting part is Florida is attractive to people from the north because of the 0% income tax. Oddly the same people that drove up taxes in the Northeast are seeking a haven to save on them as they begin to retire That’s waived with CWP.

How The Fight Started...
I shared these with my wife and she didn’t seem to get most of them but oddly she’s mad at me.

Zeke youre right. Most of the antis that testified at the hesring were professionals protedtors and not Florida residents. The battle is on nationally and no state should be left behind.

I Appreciate Assault Weapons. And I Support a Ban
Thankfully Florida just voted down an AWB minutes ago. They also voted down the bump stock ban and mag limits. They only thing they approved was a 10% tax on CWP licenses, I’ll live with that now. A lot of people fought for their rights. I’ve spent the entire day making calls and writing mails. I will also be supporting very pro-2a republicans only in the elections this fall. Fortunately Florida still has a repub super majority, they aren’t the best 2a Republicans but they demonstrated today that they know where their bread is buttered. It was scary that I almost moved to a tropical version of NYS

Anyone here use CCW insurance?
I have no opinion but use CCW Safe. Since I’ve never, and hope never to, had an incident I’m not quite sure how good it is.

We took the second highest offer after the letters and qualifications.

Murphy with the pen in hand....
I cut a 4% deal on my house. The inventory was low and the agent did a good job. She listed 2 weeks before allowing showing and for what I thought was a good price, she said it was low. The day of the broker open House we had agents come with clients and a bidding war that led to me getting 4.5% over my ask on the first day. I also negotiated a bit of cash back from the listing and selling agent (2k). It was just really fortunate timing and I had a nice House. The interesting thing was more than half the people who made offers wrote us letters about themselves and family and why they wanted the house. I guess that’s a new thing?

Murphy with the pen in hand....
I did but I moved very little as I donated the vast majority of furniture to a battered womens charity, gave stuff to friends and family. I owned my FL home for some time and it was already furnished and had everything I needed. I moved little but the remainder of clothes and other boxes of household items. The small amount of furniture I kept I used to furnish my NYC apartment and that tiny move was a bit pricey. I shipped, flew and drove my guns down.

What would be good to go under new regime?
I'm guessing all semi-auto rifles and mags reduced to 10 will be the proposal. Under this your garands, ranch 14s and other really effing scary guns will be banned.

Quadrillion is and that's close enough. It's 10^15. Believe me there is no exit tax. If it's an investment property there are taxes anyway. For all others it's a witholding to make sure you prepare your final NJ tax bill. It is not a tax on the home sale or for leaving the state.
-
Murphy with the pen in hand....
The witholding is for estimated income taxes due to the state. The home sale is not taxed beyond the normal NJ sales tax taken on real estate transaction. They do a witholding to make sure you don't skip out on your final years payment. I had none because I had another temporary NJ address, a rental, and used that as my location. I will pay my 2017 taxes to NJ, like always, and in 2018 I am free of them. Negotiate a 4% deal.

The Governor's Ongoing Rhetoric...
Agreed the loss is very deep. I should've chosen my words more carefully.

The Governor's Ongoing Rhetoric...
The FBI director issued a statement saying they absolutely screwed up the Cruz situation. Rick Scott made a public call out for him to resign. This isn’t the first FBI screw up and in the end the only people who lose something is legal, law abiding gun owners.

Interestingly this has been the case for a while yet they continued to sell standard, greater than 10, round magazines till this past week. I’m guessing that they have drop shipping arrangements where they are sent from warehouse to purchaser directly and those warehouses could be outside Illinois. I think the timing of making this announcement is odd. I can’t understand why they were doing it in violation of the laws and now, with odd timing, have decided to enforce it.

I've purchased standard capacity, 30 round cause that's the standard, from them in the recent past. I'll have to scan my email but I think I bought new Glock mags from them when I moved to FL to get the 17 rounders that a 34 comes with instead of the ban non-standard 10 round magazines I received it with in NJ.

I’m going to email them today and let them know, in my view, no real gun owner will buy from them again. They can scour the forums on their own but I’ll let them know there’s plenty of threads—arfcom has a big one going.

I read in several places and searched their site and the ar mags were all 10 rounds.
