Windows 7 most certainly does support Outlook, although only the full version, perhaps not every possible older version, and not Outlook Express. If you don't want to buy Oulook, you can search for the 30 or 60 day trial version and install it temporarily. I checked Windows Live Mail which is included in Windows 7 by default, but that won't import from a .pst file. Outlook will not export to dbx format. Sorry. If you have Excel, download the full spreadsheet and see if you can conveniently copy and paste into your mail client.

OK, traced the bad email address back to the original state data file. It should be: [email protected] You can correct this in that contact entry locally. And the address must be corrected in the Group list as well. Outlook doesn't propagate a correction automatically. I am posting a corrected version of the Excel and .pst files now.

If you want to use some version of Microsoft Outlook to contact New Jersey Legislators by phone, fax, email or letter... you need the data. And you need it in usable form to automate messages to multiple recipients. There are now three files online that will give you just that. https://s3.amazonaws.com/NJ2A/NJLegislators-20130204.pst is an Outlook .pst file containing all that information that can be easily imported into Outlook. https://s3.amazonaws.com/NJ2A/NJLegislators-20130204-ReadMe.rtf is a ReadMe file explaining how to use the .pst file if you haven't imported data (contacts) into Outlook before. https://s3.amazonaws.com/NJ2A/NJLegislators-20130204.xls is an Excel spreadsheet containing the raw data for the .pst file, and some additional information. The file can also be used for mailings of various types if you know how to run Excel. The real power of this becomes evident when you want to send emails and faxes repetitively to multiple recipients. By using the built-in lists, or creating your own lists, you can tailor your message according to the recipient and send with one or two moves. You can also print envelopes or labels for hard copy mailings, which are most effective. Great pain has been taken to ensure this data’s accuracy. If you use this and find errors in the data, PM me with the correction and tell me how you verified the corrected data. You can also PM me if you have a question (that has a reasonable length answer). If you know someone who doesn’t read this forum but would like this data, forward them the links. Consider these your un-registered selective-fire digital assault files.

My goal is to post on the Internet, by 2/1, an Outlook .pst file that is complete and up to date. With distribution lists built in. I'm still trying to fill in some of the blank data. When I'm ready I'll make a separate post for anyone who uses a version of Outlook.

I have almost completed a Microsoft Outlook contacts list, which I can export to a .pst file. Anyone using Outlook or Outlook Express can import that file as a separate contacts list. (So it's not intermingled with your personal contacts.) The list has phone, fax, email, office address, district number and full title and name for every state rep. It also has two pre-built groups for emailing and faxing all members of the Senate and Assembly Law & Public Safety committee. I'm going to construct two more lists for Republicans and Democrats. To taylor my message more precisely. Of course you can also construct your own groups from the list members as you see fit. The source of the information was the .xls file on the state web site, augmented by information from njcommunityresources.info. It took me last weekend to massage it into shape, and correct the errors in the state data. In a Windows environment, and especially with Microsoft Office, faxes, emails and envelopes/letters can be automatically generated from this list with as much customization as you care to give it. Last night I faxed all 15 committee members and the two majority offices in one move on my computer. Automatically. If anyone thinks this would be a useful tool to have, I'll be happy to share it in some manner.

I have taken some inspiration from the letters/emails/faxes posted up here regarding the assault on our 2A rights by Trenton. Here is the fax I'm sending tonight to all members of the Senate and Assembly Law & Public Safety Committees: - - - - I am a lifelong resident of New Jersey, a legal owner of firearms since 19xx, a taxpayer, and I vote. I am outraged at the raft of new bills that have been submitted under the pretext of 'curbing gun violence'. Since all of the new bills' sponsors are Democrats, I must conclude that the New Jersey Democrat party's policy now is to use Newtown and the other tragic shootings as an excuse to further assault the rights of every legal firearms owner in this state. So I now address the Democrat members of these two committees: From the text of the A3690/S2430 bill you will now consider, it's obvious that you're trying to establish a pretext and cover for implementing all the other bills you've submitted. Therefore, we don't need another study commission! Acts of violence are acts of free will. And no study commission you can establish will ever discern, in advance, the motivations of a criminal or psychopath bent on causing violence and harm to defenseless individuals. If you want to prevent violence, then pass the bill approving the right to carry concealed weapons in this state, and eliminate Gun Free zones that advertise to the psychopaths that the children in them are sitting ducks! I take personal offense that you intend to punish and restrict me for the wanton acts of others. Of course I understand your real objective is to disarm your legal citizens entirely and that this is all just the path to that end goal. Considering all this, not only will I find it impossible to vote for another Democrat candidate for any office in this state, I will also consider it necessary to fund to the best of my ability any Democrat opponents that understand the Constitution of the United States, and the rights conferred without state approval by the 2nd Amendment. - - - - - - We must be relentless.

In. And I'm bringing three other non-forum members with me.

My COMPLIMENTS Vlad.

How could this happen in a Gun Free School Zone? But not to worry. Our President has spoken with a tear in his eye and declared we'll have to do something (more), after we put politics aside.

Spelling counts. www.narus.com The masses are content to sleepwalk. Until there's a knock at their door.

Well, this sounds like fun. Being familiar with the Glock 21 Gen 4, M&P45 Full Size, Colt Government (1911) and other 45 ACP pistols and revolvers I would add these comments and two handguns you might consider. S&W 325 Thunder Ranch - 45 ACP 6-shot revolver, 4" barrel. The Scandium frame is significantly lighter than the 625 (which is a fine revolver). It has a Picatinny rail for light/laser that can be optionally attached. (Although some of the rails sold are not machined correctly and need to be replaced.) It does require moonclips, which is a pro or con depending on your posture and purpose. Unless you shoot 45 Auto Rims. Sig P220 Single Action Only (SAO) - Comes in either the full size or carry version. Ambidextrous thumb safety. A single-action trigger just like a 1911. Except it's a Sig P220. Bud's Gun Shop has an exclusive model that is also a SAS Gen 2 P220 with the SAO trigger. I am curious as to what the OP specifically means by 'double action', especially if he considers the Glock 9mm to be 'double action'. Here's where the English language should be used precisely. If trigger control is paramount, less trigger action is usually better. Thus some version of the Sig P220 SAO is the next pistol on my hit parade.

Well then you're lucky! When I get permits through the NJSP Augusta barracks they are always at least a week old. I don't worry about it because even with a weeks delay I have no problem exercising three permits in 90 days. And it would take a feat of calendar magic to be able to do four in 90 days. For calendar arithmetic, see: http://www.nr.com/julian.html Punch in your purchase date, insert 30 to "... is followed" and get the result for the next legal purchase date. Or 90 for expiration date, etc.

PK90 is correct. And so are you. F2F will be legal on Sunday 12/30; otherwise it's Monday , the next day NICS is open (if required). And you normally have lots of time to use all your three permits in 90 days; unless your PD sat on the permits for three or four weeks past the issue date before giving them to you.

Yes. Sent the forms directly to Trenton and had approval in three weeks last July.

Unfortunately, no. You must use the PD responsible for your town for PPPs, and therefore renewals. My town has no PD, therefore I must use the NJSP.

Regarding PPP renewals: the NJSP are still renewing permits. The last permit submitted to the Augusta barracks for renewal on 9/25 was returned approved on 11/9.

I successfully applied for a OGAM exemption this past summer. Here's what I did: 1. Applied for all the PPPs I needed. I expected a 10 week wait. (It turned out to be 14 through the NJSP Augusta barracks.) 2. Ordered and (my FFL) received all the handguns I wanted. I had 10 weeks to shop and bring them in. 3. Downloaded the two OGAM forms from the NJSP website. Filled in my PDF form on the computer; TYPED the form for my FFL to sign (the PDF for that is not fillable on the PC). Had ALL the serial numbers filled in. This is critical. Make sure all data matches on both forms; no mistakes! 4. On the expected PPP due date I sent the OGAM forms directly to the NJSP Firearms Unit in Trenton. I thought that gave me a good window into my first 90 days of permit time. Here's what happened: 1. The approved OGAM exemption was delivered the same day as my PPPs. It took exactly three weeks for the OGAM. 2. The day I received them I bought one handgun at my FFL with a permit. (Not one on the OGAM form.) 3. Two days later I bought the rest on my OGAM form. (All OGAM handguns should be one SEPARATE and DISCRETE transaction and NICS check. Don't try to mix them up with stand-alone handgun permits.) You must have a PPP for every handgun on the OGAM form. One NICS check will cover purchase for all of them. The serial numbers must match up at the NICS center. READ THE STATUTE! 2C:58-3.4.a.(2) tells you very clearly what the criteria is for approval as a collector, and what they WILL and WILL NOT consider. In so many words I said: 1. I'm a collector. (If you have more than two handguns for your two hands, aren't you?) 2. I need these handguns to enhance my collection (and some other personal specifics). 3. I plan to (what I was going to use them for). 4. I belong to...(firearms organizations A, B, C and D). 5. Thank you for your consideration. I said NOTHING false or misleading. Nor did I 'embellish' any facts. I didn't have to. The bar is set quite reasonably for approval. So once again, READ THE STATUTE. It lists a host of reasons why you should qualify for a OGAM exemption. Use all the ones that apply to you (and none that don't). And good luck!

This year the check for my last round of permits was cashed on June 12, the permits were dated July 11, and I received them from the NJSP on July 16. Your mileage may vary.

October 10.

Slightly off topic, but related. I was discussing this with my LGS a while ago (before this post), and they reported from direct customer experience that burglars (in the Sussex County area) were deliberately NOT stealing firearms when they could have. Ostensibly because they didn't want to risk the automatic bump in prison time if caught. Gold, jewelry, money = (sort of) slap on the wrist. Firearms = state prison. They had more than one case of customers with firearms clearly visible in their homes that were not taken during a burglary. Has anyone else heard this?

A friend of mine just received his updated FID card and a couple permits through the NSJP Augusta barracks. Total wait time was around 9 weeks.

The 43% I referred to was the current reported percentage of rounds on target. 6 hits / 16 fired = 43.8% on target. OK, I'll go 44. And similarly to alec, I have been told face-to-face by two NJSP troopers (from different barracks) that they refuse to use the range when certain brother members of the force are on it. (Not only can't those individuals shoot straight when not under duress, their weapons handling habits are atrocious.) Why is this not corrected properly, and before an 'incident'? Imagine what the story line would be if a gunman had shot and killed the one individual he targeted, and then two citizen CCW holders had shot him with the same on-target performance and wounded 9 other civilians in the process! I'm just a lowly subject citizen, and I'm considering the Force-On-Force training for me just because I'm armed in my house, and I think I should be able to hit a target under duress and not just spray-and-pray.

Question: Should police officers who are armed while on street patrol be able to put more than 43% of their discharged rounds into a basically stationary human size target at about 21 feet while under duress? If not, why not? This month I attended a course at a major firearms training center. My instructor made the point that, in his (extensive!) experience and opinion, less than 5% of the police officers he encountered in LE training sessions had in fact received training adequate to deal with a scenario like this shooting. Instead, departments spend exhorbitant sums on arial drones, urban assault vehicles, SWAT teams and tactics, wall-to-wall video surveillance, community outreach programs etc. In the meantime, the cop-on-the-beat couldn't consistently hit his target while under stress. As we saw. If by chance we discover the training profiles and history for the two officers in this incident, I don't think we'll consider the results to be surprising. And if you won't adequately train your police officers, why are they armed and dispersed among the public, Mayor Bloomberg?

When we applied last October the P2P checks cleard the bank three days before the permit issue date. So yes, this time I think they were sitting somewhere in a very large pile. My personal opinion is that for NJSP barracks applications the delay is in Trenton. And it may be due to sheer volume. I know many of us submit applications we may not really need at the moment because we can't count on delivery time when we do. So superfluous applications add to the delay and become a self-fufilling circle. To some extent.

NJSP Augusta Barracks. April 4 - Applications submitted June 12 - P2P checks clear the bank July 11 - Permits approved and printed July 16 - Permits delivered. Fourteen weeks, 4 days from start to finish.] In contrast, I sent a Multiple Handgun Exemption application directly to Trenton on June 25, and received an approval along with my permits on July 16. Three weeks to the day.
