What in the world would (will?) the NJ Legislature say about this? Password registration? Linux administrator training required? Checksum for the rifle code? http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2013/01/17000-linux-powered-rifle-brings-auto-aim-to-the-real-world/

Last summer my batch of pistol permits took 14 weeks to arrive. Three weeks before I 'expected' the permits to arrive, I mailed the exemption forms directly to the NJSP in Trenton. The approved exemption and the permits were delivered on the same day in July. (This is called Christmas In July.) 14 weeks for permits. 3 weeks for exemption. All through NJSP barracks in Augusta. The forms do require all handgun models and serials in advance, as described in the previous post.

And with such a convenient location, you can exercise your pistol permit within 120 seconds of receiving it! Legally, the NJSP barracks that covers Sussex County is in Augusta, and is referred to as Sussex Station. And has nothing to do with the town of Newton. http://www.njsp.org/divorg/operations/troopb.html To the OP: last summer my permits were delivered by Sussex Station 4 weeks after the personal check for the permits cleared the bank.

When my best friend in high school (47 years ago) told me last year 'As an anti-gun liberal I wouldn't trust myself with a gun.', I let it go. What I wanted to ask him was 'Do you trust yourself with a car and cellphone, or kitchen knife? If yes, why?' Why did I let it go? Because I knew I could not have a rational debate with him, just as we can't have one with the NJ Legislature. They're not interested in a rational debate. They're only interested in controlling your conduct with their emotional guidance to alleviate their paranoia. The interesting thing to me is that most really anti-gun people are the ones who can be demonstrably shown to be psychologically and/or emotionally wounded or impaired. (e.g. Newtown parents, Rep. Carolyn McCarthy) In many cases (like my former friend) they admit it. And it's these people we should look to for guidance? Hardly. At least not until they overcome their fears.

"And herein is the problem.... you are supposed to do it through your PD, and they are to mail in your exemption, as they have to list the permit numbers on the exemption paperwork, iirc." Nowhere on either of the NJSP forms is there a place for permit numbers. Nor are the permit numbers referenced when the NICS call is made. The entire process of the multiple exemption is keyed off the serial number of the guns. So make SURE they are correct in all places. Send the forms directly to the NJSP. They will send it back to the PD you specify on the forms.

Well, I haven't been to RTSP yet, but it's my old home town and I've been meaning to go and check it out. And, I've never shot a Beretta. So perhaps we could have an accord. I'll shoot you a PM.

Take a close look at one of the Single Action Only models. (SAO) It's a P220 that behaves like a 1911, but with Sig reliability. My instructor at the Sig armorer's course shot that primarily and swore by the gun. Any of the other SA/DA models are great guns and I like them. But ultimately it's all about the trigger. And with SAO your training and manual of arms is simplified. IMO. Tell us what range(s) you shoot at.

www.news12.com Right on the home page. 1. We need stronger laws. 2. They're strong enough as it is. 3. Any changes should come at the federal level. They also said on the 6:00 news segment that their Facebook page is lighting up with opposition. Make it count.

Yes, a ton of them unfortunately. I apply through the Sussex Barracks NJSP. Last summer it took 14 weeks, and that was before it all hit the fan. The last timeline I heard of in Sussex County was around 4 months. If you have your own local PD your time may be different. If you haven't talked to them in seven weeks, an inquiry is not out of order. Although I wouldn't 'bug' them. I would ask what were the application dates for the latest permits they've approved. If you're through the Sussex NJSP I wouldn't bother. Trenton is where the backup is, and the local barracks can't do anything about it.

I was just wondering if I lived in the MA towns where they're going house to house looking for the bomber, and they came to my door asking to come in and search (without a warrant), how I would answer them. And if they demanded to come in without a warrant? And how about if they got to your house and you weren't home or just didn't answer the door?

Well, I emailed them and told them to fix their button mapping, because the results were completely and logically inconsistent. Unless of course Bonesinium is right. Sigh.

There are five questions in this survey at Newsmax.com: http://www.newsmax.com/surveys/Results/id/64 Look at the yes/no percentages for questions 1 & 2, and compare them to the percentages for 3 & 4. Question 5 is interesting on it's own. Am I missing something? It seems like two completely different groups of people answered the first two questions as opposed to 3 and 4. And I don't find the questions' phrasing at all misleading. Or do I need more coffee?

We vote for the M&P 22. My wife owns one, loves it, and I like to shoot it too. It's an M&P in the most affordable caliber. (Well, assuming you can find 22LR.) One note: the internals and field strip are completely different from any other M&P model. Just to set your expectations. Nevertheless, a great 22.

I'll be receiving three Foscam cameras today: FI8910W - indoor, tilt/pan, wireless FI8905E - outdoor, 4mm lens, POE FI8904W - outdoor, wireless/wired, 6mm lens After I run all of them through their paces I'll report the results here. I'll be comparing their operation and image quality to legacy 400-700 TVL analog cameras, and a Logitech 750e outdoor camera. I'm going to use Blue Iris as the video software. Possibly compared to Vitamin D. However in this thread I'll restrict my info and comments to the Foscam cameras. Anyone else interested in other specifics can PM me.

+1 for mooncliptool.com. I have his tool, and his moonclips for 45ACP and 38/357. They've worked very well.

Thanx for that lead. Just bought one! It was on my to-get list.

To change a P226 to an E2 grip, the grip and the hammer strut and spring are changed. That's it. There's no difference in the frame across the P226 line. So unless you go far enough back in the line to find a time when a change was made to the frame size, P226 mags fit all P226s, regardless of the grip type. (And I don't know if in fact that's ever happened.)

Good deal Shane. I'd be willing to volunteer some appropriate effort to help put it together. And $$ tool

OGG: Bergen or Daily?

The two recent highly-publicized situations where police and/or state agencies show up unexpectedly and 'demand' searches, inspections, seizures etc. have given me long pause for thought. I have concluded that mental and legal preparation is equally (and perhaps more) important than other types of 'prepping' I have considered or undertaken. In fact, it might be the most important preparation if one's goal is to avoid a situation altogether. I could easily imagine myself being caught off-guard and unnecessarily running down a really bad road. I for one would be interested and willing to pay (contribute if you like) to attend a seminar that would detail the preparations I could make, and responses I should take, if a similar situation happened to me, my family, or friends. I would want the recommendations to be New Jersey specific and have a sound legal basis in the current state environment and laws. And I'd like discussion to include scenarios that have actually happened in New Jersey. Example: A big hurricane hits (bigger than Sandy) and half the state is out of commission. Looters are rampant. You are protecting your family and home with firearms. LE shows up and demands you turn them over (as they did in New Orleans after Katrina). What exactly should you do? What could you have done prior to the event, in preparation for that possibility? What do you do if LE decides to disregard the law, or make up their own on the fly? I'm wondering how many others might be interested. As a NJ2AS member I thought this might be something to be organized under NJ2AS guidance and/or auspices.

Thanx. I have to give some credit to milsan1 who gave an excellent analysis of this bill in the Pending Legislation forum. I quoted some of it where appropriate. Here's a fun fact: I think Ted Kennedy was on the no-fly list because of my wife. He literally ran into her (on his feet, not with his car) at the Beverly Hills Hotel at a large gathering. Stoned of course. Do that, and it's no-fly pal!

One local newspaper in Sussex County printed a letter indirectly admonishing Allison Littell-McHose for voting against A3687, the Terrorist Watch List bill. I wrote a counterpoint letter and it was published today: http://townshipjourn...h-letter-writer In it I quote the entire original letter, which was just two snippy sentences. I agree with ANJRPC that it's important to counter this stuff whenever and wherever possible, so I gave it my best shot.

For those who can't see it themselves, the final tally: 1. With supervision: 50% 2. Never: 25% 3 It depends: 24% Over 800 people voted.

Ryan_j is right; they moved the page elements around. At the top of the home page there's a Poll menu item. Click on that and it should dump you into the poll of the day. And yes now #1 is leading. Atta boys/girls.

They are currently running a poll. The three choices are: 1. Under adult supervision. 2. Never under any circumstances. 3. Depends on age and maturity. I put my two cents in here: http://newjersey.news12.com/ The poll is at the bottom of the page. At the moment #2 is in the lead. Surprised?
