NJ Handgun Carry Permit Application Experience
Regarding those four photos... I took a picture of myself, brought it onto a Windows 10 PC. Using Photo to edit the picture I indicated I wanted a square image, and resized/moved and cropped the image to put my face and shoulder portion in the manner specified for a U.S. passport photo. Copied that image into Paint four times and placed the four into a two x two image block. Uploaded that image to Walmart photo, specified a 4x4 inch print, matte finish, and zoomed the image to fit the 4x4 space. The end result was a single 4x4 print with four identical images on it that I can cut into four photos. I ordered three of those from Walmart for store pickup. So I'll have 12 photos for $0.58. In case I'm clumsy. If you want to test an image, upload it to Walmart and use their editor to show you how the image should be placed. Doing that costs nothing. Specify you want a passport photo. I didn't have them print a 'passport photo' because they print them two at a time for about $17, and the appear to arrive on some kind of card with 'biometric' information on it, none of which I need. Walgreens does the same thing for about the same cost.

Mag Ban down to District Court now ?
I'm with you. That ban was the biggest complaint I had. Wasn't there an opportunity to repeal that law but one RINO in the legislature scuttled the deal at the last minute? Or was that at the federal level. I don't remember clearly.

NJ Leads Rise in Stolen Cars - By 'Children'

Can't Use Plastic Bags? Just Steal A Basket
This did occur to me one day in Shoprite shortly after the ban started and I forgot to bring in a bag. Although my thought only went as far as getting the goods into the crates in the back of the SUV. But this wasn't hard to forecast. Customers are stealing shopping baskets instead of buying bags, N.J. supermarkets say - nj.com

Mag Ban down to District Court now ?
I remember buying an HK-91A3 (with a Single Point Red Dot sight!) in the early 80's and telling Mrs. 45Doll I was doing it specifically because 'they're going to get around to banning these some day'. It's still funny that Florio got bounced the next election. But IMO the invented 'assault weapon' ban wasn't the biggest reason, or even a significant reason. A big reason was the tax he imposed on toilet paper. Not everyone had an 'assault weapon', but everybody had an...

Win $1,337 Million - Take Home 453
LOL! So the government will claw back 66% of your 'winnings' either on the front end or the back end of your life! That's a good enough reason to stop playing the lottery. We should deprive the governments of 100% of their winnings. And by the way, I'm REALLY enjoying my reduced property taxes that originally establishing the lottery gave me.

Win $1,337 Million - Take Home 453
My understanding is if you take the annuity payments (typically 30 years) you wind up with the most money. More total payout and less taxable income every year. Of course you have to live that long to collect it. So your age may factor in. With the annuity, I'm wondering if your outstanding payments become part of your estate if you die. If yes and you're not greedy in this life, you could pass on the balance to your heir(s). If you did that, just watch your six.

Win $1,337 Million - Take Home 453
I don't play lotteries. To me that's like betting I'll be struck by lightening a number of times. But I saw all the hoopla about the 'billion dollar prize' last week, which was won by a single ticket. "Billion dollar prize"? LOL Maybe for the governments.

Adding an additional handgun to an existing carry permit
@Mr.Stu Good catch. You and I would think types = pistol or revolver. I wonder if that's actually what the courts implemented. Hard to see what else it could mean. But... it's New Jersey, where the 'law' means what they want it to mean! @Tunaman Now that rings a bell. I seem to remember threads from a few years ago where that was exactly the case. Security guards could carry to and from work, and at work, but no where else. Back in the days when justifiable need ruled out anywhere else! Thank you both. I'll wait to see if we get concrete examples of both your points.

Adding an additional handgun to an existing carry permit
Now that's what I consider a legitimate reference. Thanks. So the next questions are: what does a 'restricted' carry permit look like, and how does it differ (physically please) from an unrestricted one? What are the possible specific 'restrictions'? Anyone have a concrete example of each? As to the part I underlined, if a court tries to specify where and why handguns may be carried, that will go right back to the SCOTUS. That's just 'justifiable need' by a different name. While I'd never put anything past a NJ court, I'll be surprised if any of them issue 'restricted' permits. If anyone does wind up with a 'restricted' permit, please document it here.

Adding an additional handgun to an existing carry permit
Can anyone point to an official release as a document (on letterhead, signed, dated etc.) or a post on the state websites from either the NJSP or the AG that countermands the statute 2C:58-4? No? Then the statute stands until someone officially says otherwise. Hearsay and unattributed letters, memos and rumors don't count. 2C:58-4 Permits to carry handguns. 2C:58-4. a. Scope and duration of authority. Any person who holds a valid permit to carry a handgun issued pursuant to this section shall be authorized to carry a handgun in all parts of this State, except as prohibited by subsection e. of N.J.S.2C:39-5. One permit shall be sufficient for all handguns owned by the holder thereof, but the permit shall apply only to a handgun carried by the actual and legal holder of the permit.

NJ CCW or Permit to Carry
Yes PA is just a paperwork process. Some sheriffs issue same day, some later but within 30 (I think the limit's 30). We applied for our LTCFs. Each application took about 15 minutes including paying at the treasurer's office. Two weeks later the licenses showed up in the mail. And since we're multi-state residents (NJ DL) we added our tax documents and utility bills to demonstrate residency. My NH renewal goes out by mail tomorrow AM.

Leasing vs buying
2000 Olds Intrigue. Was about $32K new and loaded. I LOVED that car! And I took good care of it. BTW the repair cost included a new transmission around ten years. Funny thing was, I also ran the numbers just up to the trans going bad, and if I had bailed out then it STILL would have cost around $295/month. I found that very surprising.

Leasing vs buying
800 miles a week is 41,600 a year. Or 125,000 for three years, a typical lease term. The most common lease is three years and 36,000 miles TOTAL. So I don't think you're a lease candidate. When I had a business, I bought a brand new car with a loan from the factory for three years, paid the loan off from my business (I leased it to my business), and then drove the car almost another eleven years to about 160,000 miles. When I sold the car, the total net cost of that car over 163 months (initial cost plus load charges, repair and maintenance) came out at $295/month or $.0.30/mile.
