If you don't have a pistol in .40, then get it in .40. Why? What happens when a box of .40 is the only thing you can get your hands on? And, depending on the one you buy, you still have conversion possibilities if you want. Personally neither I or my wife have been strongly influenced by the supposed control and accuracy differences between any of the major calibers. The top five handguns we each shoot the best include all the major calibers. As for terminal performance, where'd you hit him?

It's up on NJ.com. Of course they left out the parts about the 2nd Amendment.

Well if you get your permits through a local PD that returns them in a reasonable amount of time you'll be OK. Live, learn, and wait. But it will feel good when you walk out with a gaggle of handguns. If I made that mistake with the NJSP I'd suffer a 3+ month wait. That's why IACTBAL.

That's right. You still need P2P for each handgun on your approved exemption. Your local PD is wrong. Fortunately there is no expiration date on the Multiple Handgun Exemption.

"Everything in the story you will hear is true. Only the names have been changed to protect the record." Dum.. dah-dum-dum!

It looks like the season is starting early! Read the comments too. I admit I'm not a dedicated fan of any team, and last season may have been the last one I watched with all the political insertion. But I have lots of relatives in Philly who will be geared up. Although not quite to this extent.

The AR-15 shooter will not be charged. Ironically, the reporter for the local TV station cites the Stand Your Ground statute, rather than the Castle Doctrine. Nice try though.

"NJ 2C:58-3: i. Restriction on number of firearms person may purchase. Only one handgun shall be purchased or delivered on each permit and no more than one handgun shall be purchased within any 30-day period, ..." Emphasis mine. My previous post chronicled a contiguous 30 day period during which only one handgun was purchased. Thus, the purchase is legal. And, for Emma's ironic satisfaction: "NJ 2C:58-3:f. Granting of permit or identification card; fee; term; renewal; revocation. The application for the permit to purchase a handgun together with a fee of $2, or the application for the firearms purchaser identification card together with a fee of $5, shall be delivered or forwarded to the licensing authority who shall investigate the same and, unless good cause for the denial thereof appears, shall grant the permit or the identification card, or both, if application has been made therefor, within 30 days from the date of receipt of the application for residents of this State and within 45 days for nonresident applicants." I suppose I obsess over this point because the law is clear on BOTH 30 day specifications, but our state government chooses what the words mean to suit their own convenience, and biases. As does most of the rest of our country. I certainly am NOT obsessing that anyone should act according to my opinion. Anyone purchasing a firearm should do exactly what they're comfortable with as they understand and interpret the law.

Their computer software does calendar arithmetic, just like the banks.

I freely admit when I buy on Day 30 it's just because I can! But if it makes you nervous or is not convenient, don't. For the non-believers, here are 30 contiguous days where only one handgun is purchased: 8-Mar Day 0 You bought one. 9-Mar Day 1 10-Mar Day 2 11-Mar Day 3 12-Mar Day 4 13-Mar Day 5 14-Mar Day 6 15-Mar Day 7 16-Mar Day 8 17-Mar Day 9 18-Mar Day 10 19-Mar Day 11 20-Mar Day 12 21-Mar Day 13 22-Mar Day 14 23-Mar Day 15 24-Mar Day 16 25-Mar Day 17 26-Mar Day 18 27-Mar Day 19 28-Mar Day 20 29-Mar Day 21 30-Mar Day 22 31-Mar Day 23 1-Apr Day 24 2-Apr Day 25 3-Apr Day 26 4-Apr Day 27 5-Apr Day 28 6-Apr Day 29 7-Apr Day 30 Buy another! As long as it's not Sunday or another state holiday.

Suck on the government nipple. Retired. Thank you all!

Yes, but I always count in base 2 or base 8 to keep everyone guessing. Or if worse comes to worse, hexadecimal. Geek bizarre! Seriously, when it comes to the 1E day BS I refuse to give a day, unless it's for my convenience. Day 11110 purchases rank second only to Multiple Handgun Exemptions.

If your math was correct then you should have told the NJSP to stick it and stop threatening you. Perhaps you would care to provide the two pertinent dates for scrutiny? There is no ambiguity in counting 30 contiguous days in which there is only one when a handgun is purchased. However I do appreciates Emma's ironic observation.

You won't be disappointed! I have the M1 version, but my wife has the 5" M2 and loves it. One thing I noticed is that they ported the slide (but not the barrel) so the 5" weighs the same as the 4" and is not front heavy. And a wonderful trigger. Definitely competition for the P99. Enjoy!

I get the 'try or buy at least all kind of calibers' since I have been down that road. The P99 in 9mm with the AS trigger is one of the top five handguns I shoot as far as accuracy is concerned. It probably would shoot as well in .40. FYI, since I have been down the multi-caliber road, now I only buy 9mm and .45 ACP pistols. I still have .40s, and won't discard them, because who knows? Sometimes .40 ammo has been readily available when other calibers haven't. But as far as defensive performance is concerned I no longer see a particular advantage to .40. But hey, we shoot for fun too. Don't we?

And now the grandfather of one of the dead invaders has declared that since the resident had an AR-15 it was an unfair fight! Someone else thinks the grandfather has missed the whole point.

No. Still pee-pee only.

So if I load my driveway with Magtech it will break the ice off?

Permit me to quote John Belushi as Jake in the Blues Brothers: "Jesus H. Tap-Dancing Christ!!!"

Up here in Sussex County I yearn for the days of Chief Booser when I lived in Randolph. Usually took about a week. I thought that was normal. Hahahaha!

Well there's no worries now, the State of California is on the job. Confidence is high.

I haven't heard anything like that. But it does appear CA has billions of dollars still available for waste.

When discussing wait times it would help to make the distinction between the NJSP, and everyone else. All the local PDs do their own thing (as we all well know), whereas the state police applications ALL go through Trenton. So you can only really compare one barracks to another barracks, not a local PD. One piece of inside info I do have is that there is exactly ONE secretary assigned to print out ALL the handgun permits for AT LEAST all of north Jersey. And we wonder why delivery is measured in months, not weeks.

Delete. Dupe. But this is the follow up to the first story.
