  1. If you are carrying financial instruments from one branch to another, whether it be stocks, bonds or currency. There might be a chance. Then again the the authorities can just tell you to hire a armed guard service for these types of situations. I understand that an armed guard is limited to carrying on the job usually spelled out on the license.
  2. Does it cover some of the history of gun control in NJ (especially) before 1966?
  3. (This might be of interest to a few members here) ATF & U.S. DOJ Plan to Remove CLEO Signature Requirement for NFA Firearms Transfers http://www.ammoland.com/2012/04/25/atf-u-s-doj-plan-to-remove-cleo-signature-requirement-for-nfa-firearms-transfers/#axzz1t9W89GIY San Diego, CA --(Ammoland.com)- According to the National Firearms Act Trade & Collectors Association, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) and the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) are preparing to remove the often burdensome Chief Law Enforcement Officer (CLEO) signature requirement from Form 1 and Form 4 for NFA firearms.
  4. It is not a suppressor ...it is a oil recovery device...brilliant ad... "Our patented solvent trap allows the use of a standard oil filter (PH-30 or Purolator 30005) to capture the solvent and oil splatter that results when running a brush through from the breech of your weapon"
  5. Its not just the cost of the NFA item, but also the fingerprint, photos, chief LEO sign off, $200 and being in state that allows a NFA item that keeps more people from pursuing a NFA . But it is also the waiting time for the stamp........The waiting time for a NFA tax stamp seems to be running about 5 to 6 months these days. http://www.thehighro...ad.php?t=655090
  6. Silencers are legal to use with little or no restrictions in some countries http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suppressor In the United Kingdom, sales of suppressors fall into four categories of use. For replica and air weapons, the purchase of a suppressor requires no license and in most cases, no identification requirement. For shotguns, these will probably require the presentation of the buyer's shotgun certificate but will not be recorded. If the shotgun is classified as a firearm (where capacity exceeds 3 cartridges) the firearm certificate (FAC) will need to show permission for the purchase of a suppressor. For a small- or full-bore rifle, the firearm certificate (FAC) will need to show permission for the purchase of a suppressor and also the gun for which it is intended. All firearms certificates have the firearm and caliber approved by the police and annotated to the document before a suppressor may be purchased. Police forces usually approve applications for a suppressor for hunting and target shooters, as the risks of litigation for personal injury, especially high-tone deafness resulting from shooting-induced hearing loss, are significant; and noise pollution in general is a problem for shooting sports. In Finland, suppressors are not classified as "weapon parts". Therefore, they are completely legal in all calibers, requiring no registration or permit. As a somewhat generalized rule of thumb, Finnish gun law classifies only parts subject to firing pressure directly involved with firing the cartridge as weapon parts; barrels, bolts, and any part with a chamber. These are restricted to owners with a valid permit. All other parts and accessories are not weapon parts under this classification. This would include parts like magazines, various sights and scopes, and also suppressors. In Norway, suppressors can be bought by anyone. In Sweden, suppressors for specified calibers are legal for hunting purposes. A license is required, but is normally always granted. New Zealand has no restrictions on the manufacture, sale, possession, or use of suppressors.
  7. Their words..not mine... http://www.pocketart.../minicannon.pdf "General Information: The cannon is, at the very least, on a Federal level, 100% legal. It is classified as an 'antique replica firearm' and is thus exempted from basically all regulations as far as manufacturing and shipping. In addition it does not meet the qualifications for a weapon, firearm or explosive device as the amount of powder used and the size of the bore (.177") are below the thresholds. Any location that allows 'muzzle loading, black powder devices' (which is most of the USA and other parts of the world) also allow this minicannon with no license or permit required. With that being said, there are particular locales such as Washington D.C. and the state of New Jersey where everything is banned and thus these are too. Other states such as Washington, Illinois and Michigan have particular counties or cities (such as Chicago) whereour mini cannon is restricted to some extent. Unfortunately because every locale can have different regulations we request that our customers (THAT MEANS YOU!) call their local ATF or equivalent field office and double check the legality of owning and firing one of our cannons BEFORE ordering."
  8. I have never seen any for sale here in Kentucky.
  9. In the United Kingdom...people who fight back and defend themselves can be charged by the police.
  10. (I see this is from Evan Nappen and I see no link to the proposed bill, I did a Google on the proposed law (what was said) and all it turned up is just Nappen's blog...hmmm..) This confirms all those rumors that we (have) been hearing that the anti-gunners have been quietly working behind the scenes. Now the roaches have (will) come out of the woodwork, they (to) use a situation (Zimmerman) to bring out their 'plans'. Like I have said in earlier threads here and elsewhere, they are not going after the guns...they are trying to go after the laws that govern the use of a gun. They believe once they can weaken self defense laws, then they can say we have no right to handguns because there are no need for them. My personal opinion is that the public who have been buying firearms and ammo like it is going out of style will (would) not stand for this and will (would) fight this tooth and nail (if it was proposed). New Conceal carry permits are at record highs, Wisconsin alone has issued 100,000 conceal carry permits. Nothing will be rescinded without the consent of the public. The other side has lost big over the years and they are desperate.... Edit: I did searches to see if there really was any anti-"Stand Your Ground" legislation...there are no "Senate" bills or anything else...anywhere...it probably just satire by Evan. But I would not put it past the politicians to try to stop people from defending themselves...It is has been widely reported that the anti-gunners are quietly working behind the scenes...There have been ...lets say 'personalities' who have come out against the "Stand Your Ground" law... (Edited @ 3:39 pm)
  11. In addition... Creating a hazardous waste site (from the lead bullets) Brandishing Creating panic Intent to ___________(add whatever charge in here) Possession of an automatic pistol (the term the media loves to use). Unlawful discharge
  12. I have a dumb question.....Were these guys making a movie,documentary,reality tv show and 'forgot to tell the higher ups' ? Can someone contact the motion picture liaison in NJ and see if they know anything? There must be a motion picture office/dept. in NJ as movies and TV shows are made there... Forgive me for asking, I'm from Kentucky....
  13. Nothing special about her...
  14. $30 a year is a fantastic deal, nice landscape too ...congrats!....Many parts of Kentucky look just like that in your pictures....
  15. Also... traveling under FOPA with everything in the trunk and secured I don't believe there are any requirements to inform either...unless there are some laws that I am not aware of..... And in case if anyone was wondering, There are some states that require notifying a LEO, but only if you are carrying concealed and Ohio is one them ...there are some others....
  16. "Dr. Martin Luther King, who was, among other things, a Christian minister, applied for a gun permit, but the Alabama authorities found him unsuitable." I assume he was applying for a permit to acquire...or maybe a carry permit ? 'Permit to acquire" laws for firearms were put in place to 'filter out' certain classes of people. These laws started out mainly in the Southern States, North Carolina for example. To buy a pistol in NC. one must go to the sheriff to apply for permit to aquire. The problem in NC. is that the standards vary from county to county often at the whim of the sheriff. If one has a CPL they can bypass that requirement. My opinion is that 'permit to acquire' laws are based on racism. I'm still surprised how laws like the 1911 Sullivan Law and the NJ FID law in 1966 were allowed to stand.
  17. Y'all can send them HP's out this way...I am exempt from HP laws too....
  18. I have a Rossi .38 special Five shot revolver. I paid $225 for it several years ago used. Its a good shooter, if your friend can get one for a good price, I would suggest it. Otherwise, go with what others have suggested already.
  19. $500 or less. I suggest getting two revolvers...first get a .22 LR with 6" barrel. They cost much less to shoot, usually are less expensive to buy. Then for the other revolver, get a .357/.38 with a 4" barrel unless you are going to conceal carry somewhere and then get snub nose.
  20. Arthur Sills, the architect of New Jersey's 1966 Firearms ID card law used those terms way back then when the public hearings were going on before the bill went to the legislature for a vote and then its eventual passage....
  21. I wonder how many innocent victims died over the decades because they weren't allowed by the state to protect themselves with a firearm. Where is the outrage in that? The Sullivan law in NY (and other laws like it in no carry states) are responsible for the loss of lives, including assaults and rapes. Why doesn't anyone call this out?
  22. Just bring your firearm out to Arizona when you visit there. You can check it on an airline, or travel with it in the trunk under FOPA across the U.S. I don't think it is possible to have two residences, there are exceptions for military under some conditions (live in NJ, based in AZ) and students (live in NJ and go to college in AZ). There have been suggestions on other sites about getting a voter card in secondary states that one owns property in and using that to get a non drivers ID in the secondary state while keeping a primary state drivers license. I think that tactic might be illegal, although I'd mention it here just for discussion in case it is legal...IANAL (I am not a lawyer, I just study gun control laws)
  23. I believe the licenses are $35 and should cover the whole household and have to filled out on the FCC website. No tests or anything. Might take a few weeks to get the license. I never bothered with GMRS, I think ham radio is a better deal but there are tests involved. FRS is great in that no license required, anyone can use it and has fair coverage up to a mile. CB is still useful in some areas, but that is another topic.
  24. We need to look to our neighbors to the North for an interesting figure. According to this thread, 3/4 of the firearms in Canada were never registered when the registry was created.... http://www.thehighroad.org/showthread.php?t=652977 "That leaves, conservatively, 3/4 of the firearms in the country unregistered in a massive act of civil disobedience by true patriot Canadians against a bad law." If there were only a 1/4 compliance in Canada for just a gun registry. What percentage would Americans would comply with total gun bans and/or confiscation? Would I be safe to guess that 'compliance' would be much, much less than 1/4 of gun owners in the U.S. ?
