Federal Courts rule campground carry = home carry
The second case hasn't been decided yet, the ruling quoted is a denial of the government's motion for summary judgment. But it looks like the plaintiffs are going to win.

Federal Courts rule campground carry = home carry
Two cases: http://www.oregonlive.com/pacific-northwest-news/index.ssf/2013/12/oregon_court_of_appeals_rented.html The Oregon Court of Appeals has reversed the conviction of a man found guilty of illegally carrying a concealed weapon after he argued the campsite where he pitched his tent for the week was his home and provided an exception to the state's concealed weapon law. The appeals court ruled that David Aubrey Wolf, 66, was entitled to tell jurors that Oregon law makes an exception to carrying a concealed weapon without a permit if a person is in his or her place of residence. http://armsandthelaw.com/archives/2014/01/injunction_agai.php Morris v. US Army Corps of Engineers, D. Idaho, Jan. 10, 2014. The Corps promulgated a regulation generally forbidding possession of a firearm and other arms (with exceptions for hunting and use at authorized ranges) on land it controls, including 700 dams and associated recreation areas. The court strikes down the regulation on 2A grounds. The court reasons that the regulation affects the core Heller right of self-defense, and that possession in a tent is as protected as possession in a home, the regulation entirely forbids that, and therefore is subject to strict scrutiny. It reasons that possession for self-defense outside the tent is also protected. It reasons that a complete ban on that is a serious infringement, but it is not necessary to pick a standard of review since this would fail even intermediate review. It grants a preliminary injunction since plaintiffs have proven a "strong likelihood" that they will win at trial.

gun storage for a friend
Changing addresses, if we're talking letter of the law, would also require that your friend change his address on his FID within 30 days of "moving". Which means applying at your local PD (of State Police barracks if no PD) and everything that entails. And when he returns to his actual residence, change it all again. I would just go with the company mentioned (several times) above: https://firearmssupportandstorage.com/storage/

lol. It's the wave of the future, man. I think we have to just embrace it: Video game guns, anime guns, urban tacticool outfits, pink framed .380s. http://cheaperthandirt.com/blog/?p=32476 (I blame Gaston)

In all seriousness, if you're going to rock something that big and bulky just to CC an Elsie Pea, you might as well go whole hog and fanny pack a real gun- Or if your style is more Brooklyn-ish, go for the metrosexual operator chest rig- '

It's worked on me. 3x so far.- which handgun do you prefer
For real. And I'm with Glen on the GP. My semis (9 & 45) are also hammer fired, DA/SA.- GECO 9mm 12.99 a box at PSA

Well, it turns out the rear sight is adjustable for windage and it comes with two different height front sights. A common complaint about Rugers, and while none of mine are that stiff, I haven't shot one out of the box that was better than most Smiths. However, Jeff claims the D/A trigger pull (6.5lb) on the new GP "feels as good as we used to get on some custom Smith & Wessons many years ago when you could send the gun off and get it worked on." @5:00 min As I mentioned in my original reply, I never bought that either. Jeff seems to though. He states "Of course there's no side plate on a Ruger, so it's got a good strong frame. It's not gonna shoot out of time like some guns do. You can run all the .357 magnum ammo out of this thing you want to with any problems." @3:50 And after comparing the trigger to S&W's, he goes on: "But, it's got the durability, the reliability and the long life of a Ruger." @5:33- Ruger GP100 Competition Model
Full review from Jeff Quinn:- What handgun to get next...
Yeah, that's the other caveat: If smart guns become mandatory, the buying goes into full swing.- Semi auto not good for Home Defense?
For HD, my back up guns are all revolvers. I would never make that claim about mag springs, nor even question someone relying on semis (if their rifle/shotgun is out of the fight). I trust the mechanics of quality bottom feeders just fine, but prefer revolvers as a hedge against operator error under stress.- Semi auto not good for Home Defense?
Now that the spring question is answered- Long guns for home defense. Some people say shotgun, others AR. Either choice is far, far better than a handgun.- NJ2AS CARRY LICENSE APPLICATION SUBMISSION PROJECT (CLASP)
