  1. Two places in the South that people drive like crap. In Memphis people change lanes without blinkers or even looking. Also Orlando, a lot of changing lanes without using blinkers and slamming on brakes. Passed through Georgia in 2007, the speed limit changes every 5 miles or so on I-75 and non stop road construction. Atlanta traffic sucks. The cleanest and the best maintained roads in the country have to be Tennessee.
  2. And Washington State has been shall issue for a very long time. Since 1961 http://www.claytoncramer.com/scholarly/shall-issue.html#c6
  3. KY is the same thing
  4. Congratulations!
  5. Who recommended pre-trial? And is Atlantic County Prosecutor James F. McClain up for re-election this year?
  6. Damn that is fast, there are people waiting up to a year and half to get a pistol permit in parts of New York State. Even some upstate counties, people have been waiting for as long as 10 months. I have been following some of the threads at nyfirearms.com in the "Pistol Permit" section. http://nyfirearms.com/forums/pistol-permits/ If anyone is interested, there is a map that shows which counties are shall issue, may issue or no issue. The map is a bit dated but for the most part fairly accurate as of 2010. http://nyfirearms.com/forums/pistol-permits/6709-revised-permit-map.html
  7. Walmart is open 24/7 and its been pretty much people waiting in line for "the truck to come in and be unloaded" . I would go there at 5 pm and told to come back at 9 pm...not to get the ammo..but to wait in line for a chance to get ammo. Talked with someone there who said it was the same people who show up everyday and they even have their wives and friends wait in line. Last time I went to Walmart it was at midnight no lines and they had some ammo but no .45 acp at the time although they do carry it. .22 lr remains non existent. Meijers is another place to get ammo at. It is a regional Midwest department and food store chain. I bought some .45 acp there for $24.97 and 9mm for $14.97 both are Winchester brands. Meijers has a strange policy, one salesman insists on bringing the ammo to the courtesy counter up front and you pay for it there. Yet another salesperson hands over the box and lets you put it in your shopping cart .
  8. I have heard that they have DOT inspections for commercial vehicles here in Kentucky, although I have never run into a checkpoint. We don't even have a DMV here. Registration is done through the County administration building and drivers licenses are renewed at the County court house. Now Ohio has a BMV, they call it Bureau of Motor Vehicles. Do they announce in advance where the Drunk Driving Checkpoints will be? They do that in Ohio, they announce it on 700 WLW, The Enquirer and other media.
  9. What about cars with out of state plates that don't have "inspection stickers" or just have have one license plate? They get tickets too?
  10. Very well put. And these are Federal Crimes we are talking about which can result up to 10 years in jail in Club Fed and a $10,000 fine. The issue is NOT about "Draconian NJ Gun Laws" verses "Free America Gun Laws". The issue is NOT about how someone went to Cabela's in PA and picked up a black powder gun or a pellet gun. The issue is not about the lack of a COE or the lack of an FID or the lack of a NJ 'permit to purchase'. (Although these are important if you live in NJ) The issue here is not just one violation ,TWO violations of the 1968 Gun Control Act talked about in a public forum. Those are Federal crimes...... in plain English that is some serious shit Lets replace the states in the above quotes In both cases the outcome would be the same, two violations of the 1968 Gun Control Act. These are Federal Crimes. Please I am not trying to come across as a Dick or a know it all. I'm just trying to bring up the point that two Federal Crimes were committed and openly talked about in a public forum. Going to another state and bringing back a firearm (not a black powder gun or a pellet gun) , but a firearm as defined by the 1968 Gun Control Act is a serious crime. (Black powder guns or a pellet guns are NOT considered firearms under the 1968 Gun Control Act). The only "exemptions" would be for an inheritance. If the person bought the rifle from a licensed dealer from another state. The person had a C&R license and picked up a C&R firearm. The person was a FFL. The person had the firearm (s) shipped to a NJ FFL. No matter what state a person lives in, even if it is a so called "free state". It is still illegal and a federal crime to buy or obtain a firearm privately from another state without a FFL. The best way to have handled the situation would be if the person had the firearms shipped to an FFL in NJ. Again this IS a Federal issue. Obtaining firearms in interstate commerce without a FFL or through a FFL is a violation of the 68 GCA unless it is an inheritance. .
  11. This isn't a story about NJ gun laws, this is a story about someone violating the 1968 Gun Control Act by obtaining a firearm in another state without a FFL.
  12. One observation is that it did seem strange that within a year or so before this, some of the employees were leaving Red Jacket. Vince left, Flem left and even Stephanie and Kris were talking about starting their own company at one point. Whether it was just 'coincidence' or not, it is strange. Some have said that after Vince left should have his own show and that could always be a possibility.
  13. I rarely see people open carrying here in KY (and nearby Ohio and Indiana) and we have been open carry since before even becoming a state. Once I saw someone OC on Interstate 75 driving a motorcycle . Another time I saw someone OC in one of the local department stores (no one even gave it a second thought however). A few other times along the 127 yard sale* and at the Mt. Sterling Court Days. It is not unusual to see hunters walking rural roads carrying rifles during hunting season. * http://www.127yardsale.com/
  14. Going to another state (no matter what state) and bringing back a firearm (as defined by the ATF) and bringing it back to your state (no matter what state) without going through an FFL (or having an FFL or FFL 03 C&R-if it is a C&R firearm) is a violation of Federal Law. This is regardless if money was given or not, and regardless what states are involved. Firearms are regulated through interstate commerce. The only exceptions are If the firearms are inherited (and you are named in the will and I think you need a copy of the will). Or the item (s) are not defined federally as a firearm such as a black powder gun, airgun or antique as defined by the feds. Black powder guns, airguns or antiques are not firearms by Federal Law and therefore NOT subject to the 1968 Gun Control Act. Or if the person moves from one state to another. You have an FFL or (C&R License and the firearm is a C&R). Examples for someone living in a so called "free state". I live in Kentucky. I cannot go to Ohio or Indiana (or any other state) and obtain any firearm privately without going through a FFL. I cannot buy or receive a handgun from any state except Kentucky. I can go to Ohio or Indiana or any state and buy a rifle through an FFL. I can go anywhere in Kentucky and buy a handgun or rifle privately. I can inherit firearms from out of state (as could anyone else). I can buy Black powder guns, airguns or antiques from any state. Those are Federal Laws and the law of the land irregardless of what state one may live in. It has been that way since the 1968 Gun Control Act. The 1968 GCA Specifically regulates interstate commerce of firearms. Violation of the 1968 GCA is up to 10 years in jail and up to a $10,000 fine .
  15. Does this mean that only half the of the toll needs to be paid? Can NJ arrest the person for toll evasion as well as gun possession? If the person gets charged with toll evasion and gun possession, does only half the sentence apply? Lastly, If the person is escaping NJ by crossing the Berlin wall from NJ into PA does the East German guards (on the NJ side) shoot at the escaping refugee and do they send the border guard dogs after the refugee? After the incident of the the PA lady that was arrested in NJ for having a firearm. I understand Pennsylvania is now putting up this new sign at the border .
  16. I-594 is getting national attention, the billionaires are also dumping lot of money into it. In fact this story even made the website of my local NBC station in Cincinnati, WLWT. Bill Gates, wife give $1 million to gun control http://www.wlwt.com/money/bill-gates-and-his-wife-give-1-million-to-gun-control-push/27739896#!bKMBbA "Previously, Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen gave $500,000 to the group, while recently retired Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer gave $250,000 and his wife Connie contributed $330,000. It's not just Microsoft billionaires throwing big bucks at the gun control campaign. Tech venture capitalist Nick Hanauer contributed an additional $1 million, according to the filing, on top of his earlier contributions of $335,000."

  18. Has there ever been any effort to have the Graves Act overturned or challenged? I saw the Graves Act mentioned while looking at a story regarding the possession of a BB gun in NJ. It was a national story back in December 2013. http://www.foxnews.com/us/2013/12/10/bb-gun-control-in-new-jersey-kids-rite-passage-could-mean-felony/ “In all honesty, kids who are charged are looking at mandatory jail time,” said New Jersey attorney William Proetta, adding that under the state’s Graves Act, a conviction could lead to prison time. “The only defense is to request a waiver but if that’s not granted, young kids can get a felony charge and their lives are basically over.”
  19. Is there an ITAR fee for 07?
  20. Correct, one guy ( a former cop nonetheless) passing through the state decided to fall asleep by a bank (in New Jersey) with a loaded firearm (s?) in his vehicle. As I understand it, he could not use FOPA as a defense because he had a loaded weapon (s?), and he stopped in New Jersey and slept by a bank and was not passing through. Even if he had an NJFID, I doubt that would have helped him. The most recent case with the lady from Pennsylvania who had a PA Carry Permit (that NJ does not recognize) and it was said that she volunteered information to a NJ cop that she had a handgun in her purse. Would a NJFID have helped her in this case? Only if she wanted to buy a rifle or handgun ammunition in NJ. Brian Aiken's is another case that is well documented and there is no sense going over it again.
  21. That "grace period" that you mentioned to get a FID .....is law ...in Massachusetts That state also call their Firearm Identification Card an "FID" . Maybe someone from Massachusetts gave you information for their state instead of New Jersey's? FID > New Jersey (Really is FPID = Firearms Purchaser's ID Card) - not required for possessing firearms or ammo FID> Massachusetts (Required to have to possess firearms and ammo and pepper spray) - 60 day grace period. FIOD> Illinois (Required to have to possess firearms and ammo)- need to possess. No grace period noted. http://www.sec.state.ma.us/cis/ciswel/weltomas.htm (Go down the page to Gun Laws (M.G.L. ch. 140, s. 131) "New residents have 60 days to obtain proper licenses. Non-residents may obtain temporary licenses to carry through the Firearms Record Bureau in order to possess and transport firearms through the Commonwealth. All non-residents must comply with all Massachusetts laws regarding transportation and storage while in the Commonwealth." Since you are new here, check out these posts that I wrote on the history of New Jersey Gun laws http://cemeterysgunblob.com/2012/01/14/when-did-new-jersey-become-so-anti-gun/ http://cemeterysgunblob.com/2012/01/15/when-did-new-jersey-become-so-anti-gun-part-deux/
  22. Incorrect, where are you getting your information from? http://www.nj2as.com/NJFID "N.J.A.C. 13:54-1.13 Firearms passing to heirs or legatees (a) Notwithstanding the provisions of this subchapter concerning the transfer, receipt or acquisition of a firearm, a permit to purchase a handgun or a firearms purchaser identification card shall not be required for the passing of a firearm upon the death of an owner thereof to their heir or legatee, whether the same be by testamentary bequest or by the laws of intestacy. A person so acquiring ownership may retain the firearm if he or she meets the requirements of N.J.A.C. 13:54- 1.5 and 1.6." http://www.state.nj.us/lps/rules/njsp/rp010702a.htm "The amendment to N.J.A.C. 13:54-1.5(a) requires that an individual must be 21 years of age to purchase a handgun. This language is necessary due to statutory changes in New Jersey Statutes Title 2C, Chapters 39 and 58. The amendment also adds N.J.A.C. 13:54-1.5(b)9 and 10, in accordance with N.J.S.A. 2C:58-3(c)(6) and (7). N.J.A.C. 13:54-1.5(b) has been amended to include additional prohibitions on the issuance of a firearms purchaser identification card. N.J.A.C. 13:54-1.5(b)9 prohibits issuance to individuals under a court order pursuant to N.J.S.A. 2C:25-29. N.J.A.C. 13:54-1.5(b)10 prohibits issuance to any individual who was adjudicated delinquent as a juvenile for an offense which, if committed by an adult, would constitute a crime and the offense involved the unlawful use or possession. " The above paragraph means over 21 and under no legal prohibitions..... I live in Kentucky and know New Jersey gun laws fairly well, I have been studying it for some time. .
  23. Wrong, that very maybe the case in Illinois where a FOID is required to own firearms or ammo. Where does it say in NJ law that a FID is needed to own a rifle? Supposed you moved from PA to NJ with your firearms and don't plan to buy any more firearms in NJ. Do you still need an FID? Where it say you need an FID if you own a gun?
  24. No you don't, you can just get a permit to purchase.
