That is more prophetic than I would care to discuss. The question now is will our response be any different than the Jews in 1930's Germany?

I know nothing about the legalities, but the nurse practitioner may be balking at being on the hook as the one who declared 'yes, she's OK to be around firearms'. This was one of my concerns with this whole mental health gambit. A practitioner who may honestly believe you have no serious problem may not be willing to state to the police that you're good to go with a gun.. Two different things.

So without any help from the FBI, local sheriff or police force, and by simply paying attention and acting on his instincts (never mind saying something), this FFL refused the sale of an AR-15 and possibly other items to a foreign national who probably had something other on his mind than hunting. This happened back on March 20, but you haven't heard about it. Have you? No, the progressive media complex is now focused on Town Halls For Our Lives.

Of course. Because these three and their ilk are not interested in having a discussion, or hearing our opinions. They're interested in implementing their objective of denying civilian ownership of firearms. Case closed.

No, they didn't. I'm waiting with baited breath.

Well, when all that Bitcoin trading is over and done, don't forget the IRS!

Par excellence! That video is up and running all over the Internet. Methinks we should heed his words regarding appropriate action.

Many on the progressive left operate on the theory that the Second Amendment 'grants' the right to keep and bear arms. In the view of many others the Bill Of Rights (including the Second Amendment) assumes many 'a priori' natural rights (including the right to self-preservation) and therefore places constraints and prohibitions on government from interfering with those rights. I agree with this view. This article traces the concept of self-preservation from the ancient Greeks onward, and contrasts opposing views on how it's handled in societies. Here is one important paragraph: "In the 2,500 years since Plato and Aristotle first debated the nature of rights and man, there has been a clear dichotomy on the question of self-preservation. Those who deem the state paramount and, thus, the source of the rights of man believe that any right of self-preservation can and must be limited as the state sees fit. On the other hand, those who deem certain rights, including self-preservation, natural or God-given believe that the state not only cannot limit or deny this right, but must guarantee it. There is no middle ground." That's right. There is no middle ground. Proceed accordingly.

So in the words of Johnny Carson, "Wierd, wacky, Wylde!" Thanks for that expose. I learned something new.

This was brought to my attention today by one of my PA relatives. It might be of particular interest to forum members in southern NJ, or PA members, or anyone who has reason to venture into the City Of Brotherly Love. The guide urges you to Get Informed, Know The Facts, and then Take Action on a number of topics. I found it fascinating to find out what the government of Philadelphia thinks are the topics important enough to rate enumeration, and what they see as The Facts, and necessary Action. I think you'll find this at least 'interesting'. Let's keep it above board for maximum exposure.

What gun? Simple.

You may bring your NJ legal firearms purchased in PA to your new NJ home. The straight up Ruger Mini-14 Ranch Rifle with 10-round magazines is legal in NJ. I have one. Only the specific models you saw in the statute are banned. Folding stocks etc. Don't give up on PA. As you probably know NJ is going to get a lot worse this year. I'm going in the other direction.

Latest application through the NJSP Augusta barracks: 02/05/2018 Permit application and background check submitted 03/02/2018 Check cashed and cleared 03/28/2018 Permits issued 03/30/2018 Permits delivered 7 Weeks, 4 days And yes, they came through already extended for 180 days. A glimmer of light!

I thought it was an Executive Order? Wouldn't a Pen & Phone Trump Law & Scotus?

I don't believe you can read this whole story without a subscription.

Link is good at this point. Good read I'll be passing along.

You might recall that is the first thing they did way back when. All firearms are banned in New Jersey. Everything you are permitted to do is by exception. When it comes to firearms in NJ, 'violating the law' doesn't mean the state proving you did. It means you proving you met one of the exceptions to not violate the law. What they're doing now is modifying or removing the exceptions.

I haven't heard about this one. But the PA 2A Rally is on April 30. Doesn't seem logical to have two rallies two weeks apart. OK, here's the OP's rally.

Agreed. We will make this happen at some point, with or without a 2A rally. Once the damn Spring arrives for real!

No, they just have no interest in listening. If anyone noticed me, I was the guy sitting in the chair in the sun on the sidewalk at street level. Got a nice sunburn on the right side of my exposed face.

I tell everyone who asks me about safes to review this site thoroughly to fully inform themselves. Then, what type of safe is best for you, how far you want to go, and how much you're willing to spend can be considered and balanced. Two big takeaways: The difference between 'safes' and 'Residential Security Containers'. My first purchase was in fact a RSC. This type is dominant in the 'gun safe' market. The fact that given enough time and tools, any RSC or safe can be defeated.Therefore a monitored alarm system is an essential component of firearm security. Last year I bought a safe from Zanotti Armor and it's going to work perfectly for my (new) situation.

Is that what the hell that was???!!! I thought it was the 'other gathering' that was supposedly going on.

I was there and stationary most of the time. Around 11 AM I made a concerted effort to estimate the crowd size on the various locations. My guess is around 1,200. Nothing professional but I did do a lot of counting. Maybe this round of bills doesn't appear to many as the 'Sound the general alarm' occasion. But it certainly is the opening salvo. I expected to see more than that today. If there really are 1 million gun owners in NJ, then turnout today was somewhere around 0.1% But I'm beginning to think that number is bogus. Does anyone know direct from the NRA how many members are in NJ? An ANJRPC member count would be somewhat redundant, but I'd like to know that too. And I'm not looking to start an argument, but just as a factual question: what exactly did we accomplish today? I can't come up with a long list. Especially after the results of the legislative session. (And that doesn't surprise me at all.) I appreciated all the camaraderie and coaching from the professionals, but what specifically was achieved? My list is very short.

Thanks for that prompt. I've got one and didn't think of that.

Well here we go. If you're involved with firearms in retail and are a Citigroup client, they have a new policy for you. So now we have the politicization of our corporations mandating what you will be allowed to do as a private business man. I see new opportunities for banks in the country. Probably small ones.
