Ask all the questions you want and don't worry about the grouches. It is better to beat a dead horse here than serve as a temporary wife for some dude named Otis in Rahway State...

So to increase "safety" you raise the price of ammo. Ammo being unreasonably expensive, people are less apt to go to the range and practice. All things being equal, less practice equals worse aim. That makes us safer? Riiiight. I'm suprised that libs who claim to love the poor do not see through this. By making ammo expensive, they are disproportionatly denying the poor and middle income citizens an effective means of self defense. NB: Edited for spelling so Bhunted won't pick on me!!

Screw metal detecting - get into home brewing...

Them hawks is good eatin'...

I guess this guy doesn't look enough like his son.

That micro Uzi is so ugly my eyes still hurt.

Now they aren't even worried about people anymore - its an environmental issue?

Our friends in Maryland enjoy vandalizing this type of equipment.

If I was in a negative frame of mind, I might be inclined to speculate how a civilian would have faired in this situation. But no matter. Have a great night, everyone.

The sooner the better.

Even if they ask, most will not feel one way or another about it. It is part of a safety checklist. Kids do not come with an instruction manual. If you say yes, you will get a scripted reminder to lock them up. If you say "yes, I have firearms safety training and they are locked up" that is the end of it. Or lie if it makes you feel better. It isn't like they are reporting you to some AMA database. Work in a kids ER some time and see all the stupid things that happen to kids because their parents lack any common sense. The Lord should have made intercourse harder to figure out so morons couldn't do it. For what it is worth, the AMA might be anti-gun but the VAST majority of physicians to not belong to the AMA.

Those of us who weren't banned just don't give a crap anymore. Have a great week, everyone.

I know this story doesn't tell anyone here anything they don't already know, but I was suprised to see a story of this nature on the Huffington Post. It seems to illustrate pretty well the relative values of restraining orders and guns for self-protection. Hopefully more of the press picks it up (but I doubt it). Robert Vann Marshall Killed By Wife 15 Minutes After Leaving Jail; She Acted In Self Defense, Police Say A Tennessee man was shot and killed by his wife less than 15 minutes after he was released from jail. Robert Vann Marshall, 34, allegedly broke an order of protection Saturday barring him from going anywhere near his wife. Earlier that day, he was thrown in the slammer and given the order because he allegedly threatened to kill his wife and children, WBIR reported. At 1:27 p.m., he was released from jail. At 1:38 p.m., officers received a call from Marshall's wife at their McMinn County home, during which she claimed her husband was forcing his way inside the home. Police said he was irate, suicidal and possibly armed. "His wife called 911 and was telling our dispatchers that he was trying to break into the residence," McMinn County Sheriff Joe Guy told WRCB. "She retreated into the back bedroom, and at some point fired a shot and he was killed." As police descended on the home, Marshall's wife told dispatchers that she had shot him. The Huffington Post is withholding the woman's name because she is a possible domestic violence victim. The woman is currently not facing charges because Guy believes she acted out of self defense. The district attorney will investigate to determine whether the case should go in front of a grand jury. Guy told reporters that an order of protection is "just a piece of paper," but said it's rare that the process ends in more violence.

I would love to comment, but I already have my two strikes. So have a blessed day, everyone.

From the Daily Record: http://www.dailyrecord.com/article/20130605/NJNEWS/306050015/Morristown-man-gets-probation-resolve-gun-buying-charge I always thought that tangling with gun laws was an automatic trip to the gray bar hotel and that the courts had no discretion to give lighter sentences. Maybe that is only the case if you get jammed up transporting illegally? Morristown man gets probation to resolve gun -buying charge A Morristown resident was accepted Wednesday into a probationary program to resolve a charge of buying two handguns from a special Harding police officer without obtaining purchase permits. Joshua B. Wolfson, 26, was accused Wednesday of improper transfer of a handgun and simultaneously was admitted by state Superior Court Judge Stuart Minkowitz in Morristown into the county’s Pre-Trial Intervention Program for first-time offenders. Authorities said that Wolfson is a volunteer firefighter and emergency medical technician, and those posts are not affected, but he signed an agreement to never seek a law enforcement position. Under PTI, Wolfson will be supervised on probation for 18 months and must perform 50 hours of community service. If he is successful on probation, the charge will be dismissed, and he will not have a criminal record. The investigation against the special Harding police officer, who currently is not workingand was not identified in court, is pending. Wolfson, who admitted no wrongdoing to get into PTI, last August bought two handguns from the Harding special officer without getting the necessary purchase permits that are required by the state to track ownership and sales of firearms. The seller, allegedly, turned the guns over to Wolfson knowing the paperwork wasn’t done and then reported it to his superiors when Wolfson ignored his demands for documentation of the purchase permits. The Harding Police Department reported the transaction to the Morris County Prosecutor’s Office upon learning of it from their special officer. County Assistant Prosecutor Robert Weber said that Wolfson resold the guns. As part of his PTI agreement, Wolfson promised to testify if necessary against others who may be prosecuted in the case.

I now believe in guardian angels. That gun moves about an inch before it goes off. But seriously, how effing dumb do you have to be to look down the barrel of a weapon? Really? This guy should have a mandatory vasectomy.

I think the upside is making sure they actually get some hate mail. I'm sure all of our elected officials get plenty, and they seem to survive. These sacrosanct pricks put on their fancy robes and probably spend their whole lives insulated from public opinion. If they do not see fit to uphold the constitution, they are no better than the rest of the political scumbags that infest our state (and increasingly, our nation).

Best of luck. Except for the LEOs on this forum, LEOs in the great state of NJ possess almost no knowledge regarding what is or is not legal. It isn't necessarily their fault - the NJ laws are just that convoluted. The best advice is be extremely careful not to get pulled over while transporting.

Seriously? On what grounds? I'm not going to threaten the guy, just tell him I regard him to be about as smart as a sack of hammers.

This being the case, you should probably delete the "Bucket 3" forum. It seems that it will attract non-shooting topics by its nature (if not by design).

As said above. Get the NJ Firearms ID card to allow you to transport long guns without worries (supposed to take 30 days; in reality can be months). DO NOT participate in the voluntary gun registration process. Get out of the Dirty Jerz as fast as your circumstances allow.

Hike the Delaware Water Gap up to the lake? Or maybe High Point?
