I was thinking about loading up the BBQ grill with 15-20 drive at at time... What do you thing... 30 minutes at 475. I like my drives blackened in the outside and cherry red on the inside.

I need the NJ FID to buy ammo in NJ. State Police advised me to get a NJ non driver ID to complement my FL Drivers lic.. I did not think that was allowed either... Guess I'll find out when I go to DMV.. I'll post back the outcome... Any know for sure?

I think you right... I may have to ask for it back... I just so happens then NJ state police just returned my call from last week and advised the same... He said to leave the NJ FID as is as long as I maintain a home in NJ... He then advised me to get a NJ non driver ID with my NJ address to use to purchase firearms in NJ. He also said I can purchase Pistols in Florida with my FL drivers lic and bring them home to NJ as long as they are NJ legal. That was a surprise. I really like the idea of getting a NJ non drive ID. I was worried about flying out of a NY/NJ airport with a firearm and a Florida drivers lic. It would look as if I came from FL with the gun and was returning home..

Now that I swapped my NJ drivers lic for Florida drivers lic. I assume I need to convert my Resident FID to a Non-resident FID. I will be maintaining my home in NJ and spend several months per year here so I will be a dual resident if that has any bearing. Do I need to switch my FID to a non-resident even though I will maintain my current home in NJ where my firearms are stored? Assuming I need to get a non resident FID can I file for a simple address change with my local PD? Or Do I need to file a non resident application with the NJ state police as if it was a new card being issued? I handed in a change of address request to my local PD last week but the Firearm officer is on vacation until next Wednesday. I won't be able to get any clarification from them until he returns. The desk clerk had no clue if a change of address was the correct course of action for me. Also, I still have my FID as of now. Do they take it from you while the address change is being processed? Should I plan on being without a FID unable to purchase ammo while this get sorted out? Any input would be greatly appreciated... If I need to file with the state police I do not want to wait a week or two until my local PD get back to me...

Lalo, I have over 200 plus drives sitting in my office... I was wondering what the hell to do with them... We are also obligated to destroy as per company policy due to customer data on them. Most of the drives are 40-200mb.. I also have piles of 1 and 2gb PC-100 memory stick. It is sad that none of this has any real value... I had a tough time getting the cases scrapped as well... Most places wanted to charge me..... I finally found a guy with a pickup who would take them away to scrap at no charge.

Apparently Florida allows "Open Carry" while traveling to / from and while hunting or fishing. My condo has a fishing pier across the street and while walking the other night to check out the evening catch I noticed two guys "Open Carrying". They were very discrete. Both had small semi-auto pistols. Similar to the Ruger LCP .380acp. I new the law existed but did not think people actually took advantage of it.. Especially being located just north of Fort Lauderdale in Pompano Beach... Either nobody else noticed them carrying or no one careered. I hung around a little but to see if the Police would make to contact but it was a none event, Not sure if I would open carry there but apparently it is an option.

My kids are still in school here in NJ so until they go off to college I'll be maintaining my home in NJ and a Condo in Florida. My Parents are getting up in years so I go down to FL often without the family plus the family comes down often as well. The plan is to begin shifting everything down here and eventually sell the house in NJ but that is a number of years off... I plan for the kids to go to college in FL. Residency tuition is 1/3 the cost of out of state resident rate. I have a vehicle registered down here / registered to vote now, ect... Like I said I will be shifting everything down to FL. It is going to be the type of move that is hard to put an exact date but slowly and steadily I will be getting out of NJ.

I finally swapped out my NJ drivers License for a Florida one... So far no regrets... Looking forward to spending a lot more time down here. Not sure if I'll be able to hit the 6 month min this year to qualify for the Tax filing yet but hopefully soon. I actually spend a good number of nights in NY also so I'm not sure how they apply when figuring it all out... I'll let the acct worry about that... As for me I picked up reciprocity in 3 states going from 39 to 42 in totally. There were a few that required you have a ccw from your home state. I now have Colorado, South Carolina and and Michigan. PA also becomes a non-issue. If t ever pass National Reciprocity I'll be all set to carry in NJ.... Next up I need to convert my NJ Firearms ID card into a Non-Resident Firearms ID. Hopefully that will go quick and smooth.

The denial does not effect you ability to purchase additional handguns it just may effect you initial and renewal non-resident ccw permits in other states. I doubt it would prevent you from being approved but just raise a flag that has to be explained. Maine state police questioned me about a minor police contact at my home when I applied the the Maine non resident ccw permitted. I'm sure they would have called to ask about a denial. It was not a problem... I just had to explain what had happened.

You need a CCW from another state first. Then you can apply. They require NRA Basic Pistol for training or something similar.It can all be completed via mail. http://www.usacarry.com/connecticut_concealed_carry_permit_information.html

Seem these for the first time at Sportsmansguide.com. You place a .357 on the tip of your arrow and it is designed to go off on contact.. Why isn't this classified as a firearm? I would think it is an AOW.. Like a pen gun / ring gun, ect.. Other then that it is also very cool..

Be thankful for the scrap of Freedom they have so far Looked the other way on? I rather they keep there scraps and have the vets march with pop guns to show the country just how backwards NJ firearms law is.

Perhaps some 6:00pm channel. 7 news coverage of wwII vets being zip tied and maced as they are forcible removed from the parade route for illegal discharge of a firearm is what this state needs to open its eyes to the absurd laws we. Have.

Is there a special law on book to allow for parade open carry of long guns? Just curious if it is officially allowed or just overlooked.

My bad... I intended to suggest you'll apply for you CT as in Connecticut CCW permit... All this talk about PA recently has my fingers typing one state and my brain thinking of another.. CT requires a prior CCW from any state. Similar to the way NH used to be before they changed to require a Resident CCW. I got my NH CCW last year under the old law so my permit is valid until it expires. The just wont let me renew in 4 years. I travel for Business so i have actually picked up 11 CCW's . The 10 in the photo plus Main. At first I initially collected them just for the hell of it but im glad i got several whil i had the chance. TX and NH are my only coverage for PA now... AZ used to cover my for when i got to Las Vegas but NV dropped recip with AZ so the NV CCW is my only coverage there, ect, ect... So much has changed in the last two years...

As soon as you'll get your first CCW Don't forget to apply for the PA non-resident CCW before they change the law there as well. As of now in order to get a PA Non Resident you need a CCW from any other state. It does not need to be a resident CCW.

If I remember correctly when they first Dropped Florida non-resident they wanted to close the "Mail Order CCW" loop hole. I think the number of people who would actually go to TX to get a CCW is so small that it will fly under the Radar... Also, TX non Resident CCW has more reciprocity then Florida and is tied with Utah plus you pick up Reciprocity with New Mexico as a bonus. Renewal can be done online after five years so it is an excellent CCW to have regardless... Add in a "Guys" weekend of shooting and bull riding at a Texas Steer Ranch with like minded enthusiasts seems like a win-win regardless...

When / if you guys are serious about going to Texas as I mentioned above the instructor I used was awesome. I reached out to him and explained what was going on with UT/ PA Reciprocity. I have no affiliation with him other then he did a great job with me. 2 years ago when I took the class it was 10hours long and he had a great mix of serious information and humor to keep me the students attention. After I explained our situation he responded with the following information: " I could put together something for a group from NJ. They could fly into Austin rent a van and the ranch is 50 miles or fly into Houston and it is two hours. Either way I could set up a totally organized itinerary all inclusive event if I could gauge how many. Class, gun,ammo, lunch, coordinate fingerprinting. Total Cost would be $150 -$200.00 Or so. Depends. If they want a weekend trip, they could fly in Friday, fingerprint in Houston, drive to ranch Friday night, stay in La Grange, shoot Saturday and then drive back for Sunday departure. Everything depends on how many. If 2-3 guys I can transport them around. If more we need to rent another vehicle. Jason Page: iPhone 832-794-2184"

Class has to be done in TX. I did a ton of research on this prior to getting mine... I arranged a 12hour layover on connecting flights from Las Vegas to Newark and was able to complete the course, range shoot and prints in time to get back to airport form my flight. I would highly recommend my instructor. Great guy. He has a Steer ranch outside Houston that would make for an interesting location for you guy to take his class. You can shoot on the property so everyone could qualify there instead of going to a range. The class used to be 10hr when I took it but is now like 5hrs.. Renewals can be done online so you don't have to go back to TX every 5 years. PM me if u want his info.

Well, look at it like this.... As part of the Drake disclosure is came to light that there are 1297 active permits that are good for 2 years.. The judges in this state are approving over 50 permits per month on average. I would be curious to see the break down by county to see if there was any place that stood out. I don't thing it would make a difference in terms of trying to apply in a 2A friendly county for the average Citizen but it would be interesting just the same to see a break down.

NH is still valid but unless you already have on the NH law now requires u to have a permit from your home state. And when it expires you will not be able to renew. Road trip to Texas is the last option to get a PA valid non-resident carry permit.. The 10hour training must be taken in TX.

Texas law requires the initial training be done in TX... Renewal can be done online... No change of a class in NJ. NH recently changed their law requiring a ccw in your home state. So when mine expires I can not renew and no new permits will be issued in NJ. Options to get a PA valid carry Permit now requires a road trip to TX.

If the NRA puts enough weight and money behind a national right to carry and it gets attached to a must have democrat backed bill it could happen... NRA recently announce it was one of their top priorities. Drake was the end for the next 3 years or more until Peruta can progress... With a little luck National Right to Carry could be in place by then ... Ok, maybe a lot of luck, but certainly worth pushing while waiting for a solution thru the courts.

So according to Even Nappen and Scott Bach on today's GFH show, National Right to Carry is our nearest best hope... For NJ residents there is no immediate change but once everyone in the country can carry in NJ except NJ residents we might be able lower the criteria for a resident carry permit. That said for myself having a condo in Florida it would be no big deal to exchange my NJ drivers License for a Florida DL and be good to carry in NJ, NY, NYC, California, ect. National right to carry would do more for my ability to protect myself then had we won Drake which would only have allowed me to carry in NJ... As Anthony mentioned on the show some may even go as far as to rent a furnished room in PA and claim dual residency under a PA drivers lic as a work around to carry in NJ. One thing that comes to mind is that if National Right To carry does become federal law. What would stop places like NYC and NJ from ignoring it just like they do with FOPA?

They have 100round boxes... 3 Max limit... Not a great deal but better then others...
