No....but it gets reported to the police. http://cnsnews.com/news/article/rep-pete-king-merchants-selling-ball-bearings-beauty-products-should-notify-police ""Anyone seeing anyone buying components, any type of BBs or ball bearings -- a large amount of nails, even -- report that to police," he said."

NICS checks may not be the most accurate. Perhaps some NJ gun owners buy long guns, bb guns or black powder guns in other states. Especially if the other surrounding states have less NICS fees or no fees at all. In the case of Delaware, it would pay for NJ residents to drive there to buy long guns from that state as they have no NICS cost or sales tax. Even with the cost of gas and tolls, they would still be saving money. http://www.ar15.com/...8&f=50&t=492137 "Not only does Delaware NOT charge for its NICS check, there's NO SALES TAX So the price on the tag is your price out the door! (Long guns only, I'm afraid)" My state (KY) was often mentioned as having the highest amount of NICS checks which is really skewed because the KY State Police does MONTHLY NICS checks on every KY resident with KY conceal carry permits. (Not many Kentuckians are aware of this).

I believe Texas doesn't allow open carry, except on private property, farm or ranch? And those 30.06 signs...

Teacher Sues School over Suspension for 'Weapons' Charge: Showing Students Garden Tools http://cnsnews.com/blog/craig-bannister/teacher-sues-school-over-suspension-weapons-charge-showing-students-garden Teacher gets suspended on a weapons charge for showing his students tools such as wrenches, pliers and screwdrivers. I thought they had 'shop' in school where students would learn how to work with metal and wood and build stuff. At least I remember that way back when. Garden Tools........... "Despite the fact that all potentially hazardous items were kept out of the students' reach, school officials at Washington Irving Elementary School informed Doug Bartlett, a 17-year veteran in the classroom, that his use of the tools as visual aids endangered his students. Bartlett was subsequently penalized with a four-day suspension without pay - charged with possessing, carrying, storing or using a weapon."

Ammo is non existant here in Kentucky except for the few times a truck may come in while you are waiting in line in Walmart. Meijers has not had handgun or rifle ammo since December. LGS really gouges ...if they have ammo in stock. LGS has some rifles and handguns...all the good stuff has been long sold out.

Bloomberg Says Interpretation of Constitution Will ‘Have to Change’ After Boston Bombing http://politicker.com/2013/04/bloomberg-says-post-boston-interpretation-of-the-constitution-will-have-to-change/ “The people who are worried about privacy have a legitimate worry,” Mr. Bloomberg said during a press conference in Midtown. “But we live in a complex word where you’re going to have to have a level of security greater than you did back in the olden days, if you will. And our laws and our interpretation of the Constitution, I think, have to change.” If you check out the readers comment section at the end of the article, I think they are really interesting.

I stopped shopping there when they tried to screw me over on a Black Friday sale some years back. I haven't been there since, I get (or try to get) ammo from Wallyworld or any of the local LGS.

What counterparts are there for Bryan Miller and the Ceasefire group? Is his voice and group louder than ours? If so, why? What press releases have we done to counteract their press releases? Why can't someone start a website soley dedicated to picking apart their claims?

What about pro-gun press releases to other pro-gun groups, conservative type of radio shows, conservative news outlets and even rt (russia today). (rt seems to carry stories that other outlets don't pick up on). I mentioned women only firearms training. Have press releases of what the group is doing, when they meet , how to join. have a press release every couple of months or if there is a special meeting or event. How would press releases be handled? Some here might have connections to media. Coordinate with another NJ oriented pro-gun groups and organizations and brainstorm and pool resources to create and release press releases. Do followups and have spokespersons where the media can contact them about the story or stories. Target the press releases with specific information. For instance the all women firearms training information and press releases would focus entirely on that alone. Other subjects like the conceal carry movement press releases would focus entirely on that subject alone alone. Firearm Laws reforms and modernization press releases would focus on that alone. Each press release would specifically discuss one subject at a time. This way everything is focused, short and yet informative. A one paragraph press release about how someone legally defended their business or property in NJ with a firearm can go a long way in putting firearms and self defense in a positive light.

And also know the laws of the state you will be traveling through even if you have carry permit that is valid for that state. Some states (like Ohio) require a "Duty to Inform" when stopped. http://www.handgunla...states/ohio.pdf The next state over, Indiana does not http://www.handgunla...tes/indiana.pdf My state does not http://www.handgunla...es/kentucky.pdf Tennessee does not http://www.handgunla...s/tennessee.pdf North Carolina DOES http://www.handgunla...rthcarolina.pdf Regarding Open Carry in a vehicle, that too varies greatly among the states especially if you have no permit but going by the laws of that particular state. Ohio it is forbidden to have a loaded handgun in the glove compartment without a permit. Here it is OK, and other states have laws which say that your vehicle is considered an extension of your home and no permit is required anywhere in the vehicle while in that state. Knowing the laws and having a carry permit that is valid through the state(s) you are passing through is the best way. But I would go a step further, have a print out of the laws of the states that you pass through might seem like overkill, but it is a great CYA.

1. Get more women involved. In Oklahoma there is a women only gun training group that started. The story made national headlines. 2. How much does it cost to draft a pro firearms bill? Some here are lawyers, they can help with legalities or legal logistics. The other side seems to draft numerous anti-gun legislation. Why can the pro-gun side write and draft numerous pro-gun legislation. 3.How about someone from njgunforums running for office?

Ammo shortage forces Police use Airsoft to train! http://sanfrancisco.cbslocal.com/2013/04/18/east-bay-police-train-with-airsoft-guns-amid-ammo-shortage/ You got to know the ammo shortage is so bad when the police turn to training with Airsoft guns as a backup. This is the first I heard of an agency using Airsoft or any alternatives to conventional firearms and ammo to training. The agency is in the Bay area of Richmond California. I guess so much for the stories that the ammo shortage is easing up? "RICHMOND (KPIX 5) — A nationwide shortage of ammunition has forced several police departments, including Richmond, to find a backup solution for training rounds. Officers said the solution is just as effective as live ammo, not to mention cheaper."

Great post!

A shotgun is excellent for home defense and Remington 870 or Mossberg 500 are good models. If you want to know which ones people prefer Just start a separate thread something along the lines of "Remington 870 vs. Mossberg 500" for the subject line.

I'm reading here http://www.thehighroad.org/showthread.php?t=713588 that the bomber was a 'prohibited possessor'

Ammo shortage in FL part blamed on Boston attacks There is yet another story in the news about the ammo shortage. However the owner of the store seems to attribute the recent attacks in Boston in creating more panic and runs on ammo. http://miami.cbslocal.com/2013/04/18/gun-stores-seeing-a-run-on-ammunition/ Jeff Dillard who runs National Armory in Pompano says it’s the worst he’s ever seen.“I have never seen ammo so impossible to get,” said Dillard. “Because of the terrorist attacks and the gun control legislation people are getting in more of a panic situation,” Dillard said.

I would recommend getting a .22 cal lr double action revolver as your first handgun. No jamming fears, inexpensive to shoot (well it was inexpensive to shoot in 2012), low maintenance, no recoil. When your ready, get a .357 or 44 magnum.

Having a movement against nanny politicians and laws would have broad universal appeal, I really think the public on the whole is just tired of it.

Given the insanity of the proposed gun bills in California, and this latest assinine proposal. I'm surprised that no one has started a separate movement against nanny politicians and nanny laws. Bloomberg and his soda ban, then Peter King's talk about having people reported for buying ball bearings and nails . http://cnsnews.com/news/article/rep-pete-king-merchants-selling-ball-bearings-beauty-products-should-notify-police ""Anyone seeing anyone buying components, any type of BBs or ball bearings -- a large amount of nails, even -- report that to police," he said." I wonder why no one has suggested that politicians go through mental background checks and character references. I'll bet some one them won't pass. So Joe Six Pack building a dog house in the backyard could be deemed suspicious because he bought a box of nails. Good Lord man

It can be registered using Form # 232F-15PSI The Chef Law Enforcement Officer signs it. .

California gun owners get screwed http://www.akfiles.com/forums/showthread.php?t=146615 Looks like they are really putting the screws to gun owners in California. Some of the outrageous proposals include a sales tax of 5 cents each bullet (cartridge), guns must be locked even if owners are home, bans the online sales of ammo and creates an annual ammo purchase permit. Redefines handguns as short barreled shotguns thus making them illegal. Reading the forum there, looks like a whole bunch plan to move to Arizona if all this passes. Unfortunately these have passed so far.... SB 374 Assault Weapons - passed 5-2 SB 47 Bullet Button - passed 5-2 SB 293 Smart Gun Tech - passed 5-2 SB 299 Lost or stolen - passed 5-2 SB 53 Ammunition: purchase permits - passed 5-2 SB 683 Safety Certificate - passed 5-2 SB 567 Illegal Shotgun - passed 5-2 SB 108 Residential Storage - passed 5-2 SB 585 Cow Palace Gun Show Ban- passed 5-2 SB 396 Mega-Magazines - passed 5-2 SB 755 Prohibited Gun Owners - passed 5-2 More details Requires NEW “assault weapon” registration, requires registration of ALL those semi-auto rifles that are currently possessed to retain legal possession in the future, and subjects these firearms to all other “assault weapons” restrictions. Requires persons to buy an annual ammunition purchase permit, requires the registration and thumbprint of the purchaser for each ammunition purchase, and bans online and mail order sales of ammunition to Californians. Requires mandatory locked storage of firearms within a locked house regardless of whether anyone is present. Expands the definition of “assault weapons” to BAN the future sale of VIRTUALLY ALL semi-auto rifles (including rimfire cartridges) that accept a detachable magazine, Changes the technical definition of a shotgun, which would turn all handguns into short-barrel shotguns that are illegal to own.

Congratulations

For many years farmers have used black snakes in the root celler. They did this because black snakes (also known as rat snakes) are very low maintenance, effective and very efficient, they usually killed and consumed the whole mouse. So if snakes are a no go, Victor mouse traps are a good bet.

Only under certain circumstances is there a 'duty to inform' It applies is if you are passing through some states (like Ohio) with a Concealed Carry Permit AND concealed carrying and there are 'duty to inform laws' in effect. However Ohio also mentions transporting as well, which might mean having a loaded gun in the trunk. There are other laws of this type in other states. I would assume that if there was no loaded firearm in the trunk, then the duty to inform would not apply. I mentioned Ohio (as an example) because that is the state that borders mine and has those type of laws. I know we are talking about New Jersey, but those who have FL or Utah CCW permits might want to double check the laws of the states that they intend to pass through. http://www.handgunlaw.us/ Ohio 2923.16 (E) No person who has been issued a license or temporary emergency license to carry a concealed handgun under section 2923.125 or 2923.1213 of the Revised Code or a license to carry a concealed handgun that was issued to the person by another state with which the attorney general has entered into a reciprocity agreement under section 109.69 of the Revised Code, who is the driver or an occupant of a motor vehicle that is stopped as a result of a traffic stop or a stop for another law enforcement purpose or is the driver or an occupant of a commercial motor vehicle that is stopped by an employee of the motor carrier enforcement unit for the purposes defined in section 5503.34 of the Revised Code, who is transporting or has a loaded handgun in the motor vehicle or commercial motor vehicle in any manner, shall do any of the following: (1) Fail to promptly inform any law enforcement officer who approaches the vehicle while stopped that the person has been issued a license or temporary emergency license to carry a concealed handgun and that the person then possesses or has a loaded handgun in the motor vehicle; (2) Fail to promptly inform the employee of the unit who approaches the vehicle while stopped that the person has been issued a license or temporary emergency license to carry a concealed handgun and that the person then possesses or has a loaded handgun in the commercial motor vehicle.
