Welcome!!!

Register the car as either limited use or historic tags. It's 20+ years old, I do believe that will qualify. I have been told historic or limited use (I think that's called QQ tags) are exempt from emissions inspections. As long as the car isn't your daily driver, you should be ok.

If you look on 1911 forum, there is a whole Kimber section. From what I have read and what I have heard, a Kimber can be a coin toss, it either runs like a champ, or if it has a problem it will always have a problem no matter how many times it is fixed. Regardless, I am still considering one myself.

Last evening, I was having a conversation with my in law relatives who were up here in NJ for a funeral. One uncle was from Georgia, and the other uncle from North Carolina. We were discussing hunting, and I was invited down whenever to go hog hunting being both relatives have over 100 acres of property and unlimited piggies running around. The conversation turned to hand guns. I mentioned that I just got permits to purchase and was considering a 44 mag for handgun hunting. When I mentioned the word permit, they asked if I was talking about CCW. I then explained what you had to do in NJ to get pistol purchase permits. They could not understand for the life of them why NJ thought their system was better than NICS which ends up getting called anyway. One uncle said he sits on the back porch and shoots for fun. The other uncle talks about how he carries either CCW or just in his car. He told me last week, he was in a motor vehicle spot check set up on a back road. The officer checked his DL and registration and said you are good to go. He then asked the officer if she was curious as to why he had a pistol in his door pocket. Her response: "no, this is Georgia, everyone has them". On top of being sad from the whole funeral experience, I felt even more depressed after the gun conversation!

Welcome!

My opinion is that we need to keep positive and support our 2A rights. The CCW battle, and other pro gun battles in this state will not be won by just waking up one day and running to the state house. It has been explained to me that it is a decisive battle that takes planning and the right opportunity to present our issues. I agree with this attitude. Of course as our numbers grow, the battle will start to swing in our direction. Politicians need votes to survive in office. If the majority numbers come from the pro 2A side, we will get things in our favor.

I agree that most of the PD's are the weak link. On top of what I have read here, people I have met talk about how their PD only give one or two permits at a time, take months to issue p2p's, etc. I recently spoke with Bob Viden about the NJ insanity that gun owners go through. He stated that it's estimated the NJSP spends $12 million a year on the FID process. Combine that with hours spent by the local PD's labor and state wide it's a ton of money. The whole system is a redundant waste. NICS will catch anyone who is prohibited, and is more accurate than the state system. If you get your permits, get arrested, then go to make a purchase, NICS will catch it. Once again, mommy NJ knows best, so we have to deal with the added processes. Personally, I rather see the NJSP spend $12 million a year on additional resources to get the illegal gun users off the streets instead of make the legal gun owners jump through hoops.

I should add that having an FFL who is knowledgable helps. A while back I visited a few shops in South Jersey. While at Rayco Armory, the gentleman behind the counter insisted that exemptions were impossible to get. Later that day I visited PK90's shop Arms and Ammo. We did the paperwork, I sent it in, and two weeks later was granted an exemption to purchase two pistols at once. The reasons I used were that one of the two pistols was no longer made and may not be available, the two pistols were to enhance my collection, and that I was a member of a club.

Not hard at all. You need to submit what guns you are buying, make, serial numbers, etc. You do need to give a written reason as well. I do remember seeing a thread about this with valid reasons a while ago.

If you download the forms from NJSP for a OGAM exemption, you will see that it states three reasons for the exemption: Purchase of multiple handguns from a person who obtained the handguns through inheritance or intestacy. Collector of handguns with a need to purchase or otherwise receive multiple handguns in the same transaction or within a 30-day period in furtherance of the applicant's collecting activities. "Need" shall include, but not be limited to, situations where there is a reasonable likelihood that the additional handguns sought to be purchased would not be readily available after the 30-day period, that it would not be feasible or practical to purchase the handguns separately, or that prohibiting the purchase of more than one handgun within a 30-day period would have a materially adverse impact on the applicant's ability to enhance his collection. A "collector" shall include any person who devotes time and attention to acquiring firearms for the enhancement of the person's collection: as curios; for inheritance; for historical, investment, training and competitive, recreational, educational, scientific, or defensive purposes; or any or other lawful related purpose. The applicant participates in sanctioned handgun shooting competitions and needs to purchase or otherwise receive multiple handguns in a single transaction or within a 30-day period, and the need is related to the applicant's competitive shooting activities, including use in or training for sanctioned competitions. The forms you need to do this are an SP015 and SP016. It helps to have a very cool FFL to help you with this!

http://www.castboolits.gunloads.com/forumdisplay.php?f=57 That's a link to a casting forum I found. Tons of info. http://www.lasc.us/Fryxell_Book_Contents.htm An online book about casting bullets. I was thinking of getting into casting and this book shed a lot of light on thing for me. Best of luck!

Another "bump".... Signature count was at 9,002 last time I checked today!! 998 to go before we hit 10K!

Welcome from South Jersey!!

I agree with you however the more I pay attention to the national news (the AP news app to be precise) everyone keeps talking about how great the economy is and all this job growth, yadda, yadda.... to me it's a play by the leftist oriented media to get BO re elected in November by playing up minuscule gains. All that is said about the oil prices are that there is no short term solution. Historically, when unemployment is on the decline and the dow is going up in an election year, the president will be re elected. I am not an expert on the economy, but I look at it this way: There has been no increase to my bank account during this administration. Combine that with the anti 2A stance of the White House and the disregard for our constitution and I am set on voting for anyone but BO.

Congrats! Now as a good new citizen, go get that DL then march right over to the gun shop and buy two 17+ capacity hand guns at once!

All you can do is talk to her before the boyfriend gets out and see if you can reach her. It does not help that her father is writing her off. A big part of what may drive her to run off with the boyfriend is a "rebellion" aimed at her father. As mentioned earlier in the thread, it's up to her to change.

This just further reinforces how important it is for us to keep working on getting the Citizens Protection Act passed in NJ. I know it's like trying to climb a slime covered mountain, but we can't give up trying!

Welcome!

“National Right to Carry Reciprocity Act of 2012” introduced in U.S. Senate Today, March 13, U.S. Senators Mark Begich (D-Alaska) and Joe Manchin (D-West Virginia) introduced S. 2188, the “National Right-to-Carry Reciprocity Act of 2012.” The bill is the Senate companion to H. R. 822, which was approved by the U. S. House last November by a vote of 272-154. S. 2188, like H.R. 822, would allow any person with a valid state-issued concealed firearm permit to carry a concealed handgun in any other state that issues concealed firearm permits, or that does not prohibit the carrying of concealed firearms for lawful purposes. A state's laws governing where concealed handguns may be carried would apply within its borders. Today 49 states either issue carry permits or otherwise authorize law-abiding people to carry firearms outside the home for self-defense. 41 states have fair “shall issue” permit systems that allow any law-abiding person to get a permit. In contrast to dire predictions from anti-gun groups, Right-to-Carry laws have been enormously successful. Interstate reciprocity will serve as a fundamental protection of the right to self-defense by providing people with the ability to protect themselves not only in their home states, but anywhere they travel where carry concealed carry is legal. Contrary to the false claims of some, these bills would not create federal gun registration or gun owner licensing, nor would they allow any federal agency to establish a federal standard for a carry permit or impose gun control restrictions of any kind. These bills would have no effect on permitless carry laws, currently on the books in Arizona, Alaska, Wyoming and Vermont, that allow concealed carry without a permit. In addition, Vermont residents would be able to take advantage of S. 2188 and H.R. 822 by obtaining a permit from one of the many states that offer non-resident permits. Please contact your U.S. Senators today and urge them to cosponsor S. 2188. You can call your U.S. Senators at 202-224-3121 or send them an email by clicking here

Topher, she's looking good! Seeing your progress is motivating me to possibly go this route myself. I'm doing my homework now on frame/slides!

PK90 has a Sig 226 listed on his site for $760.

I am thinking of a Gen 4 Glock 22 for my first .40 HG. I've been somewhat anti Glock but it seems to make sense being the 22 is a very widely used LEO and military piece. I just have to get my hands on one to see how it feels to me.

It's a double barrel zombie head popper!

When you call 911 from a cell phone, you may actually first get a 911 operator that's in another state. First you have to verify what city/state your in then they transfer you. ONce you are transferred to your local PD all the dispatcher sees is a 911 transfer from whatever cell carrier it is. They can't just know your coordinates by the phones GPS. My fiancee worked as a dispatcher for a small police department that covered a lot of territory. Many times she talked of 911 hang ups or getting someone transferred to her that was actually located a few towns over out of her jurisdiction. Personally, I have my local PD's "regular" phone number on speed dial. When you call it, you get the same dispatch desk that 911 sends you to without the BS of waiting for transfers. I'm pretty sure all PD's "regular" number still get's recorded being you hear the "beep" in the background as you talk to the dispatcher.

But that's a good "what if" question. Who's to say the unarmed perp doesn't have an armed buddy outside. Sounds backwards but no one ever said criminals were smart.
