  1. Opposite story (where the lost wallet is a scam): I worked security once upon a time at a department store. Some lady left her wallet at the register. Per store policy, the cashier called it in, put it in a tracer money bag signed by her and a manager and walked it to the office, all on video. When the lady came back for it (30-40 minutes later), I broke the seal on the bag and handed her the wallet. She counted the money (around $40) and said she was short $300. Now, I had video of the wallet from when she took it out of her purse all the way until it got to our office where it sat on a desk with a camera pointed at it. No one took anything out. I didn't even bother telling her any of that. I just said "Well that's theft, you should report it to the police. Do you want me to call them or are you going to?" She started insiting that the store had to give her the money, her son's alawyer, blah blah. I told her I wasn't doing anything without a police report. After about 2 minutes I started to dial local PD, at which point she said "I don't want to wait for them, I'll go straight to the police station". Needless to say, she was never heard from again.
  2. Wow. A- That's great. Means you'll be shooting sooner than later! B- Weird. Maybe they're doing something new for FID #s. C- Never take anything you read on an internet forum as gospel truth, even if the poster uses a bold, red font and acts like he knows everything there is to know about the subject.
  3. I look at SBI numbers everyday at work (arrest related, not FID, but they're the same). New #s are always 6 digits and a letter and that's what yours should be. i think I may have seen shorter #s (5 digits plus letter) on SBIs issued in the 70s, but maybe not. 4 digits, never. Somebody effed up.
  4. You had me at ladies with questionable morals
  5. Man, we must've had the same day.Even worse for me though, cause the closest range is further than I wanna drive and I don't drink. At least the Knicks are looking decent tonight.
  6. Mine did (Edison) and she really believes it. http://www.nj.com/middlesex/index.ssf/2012/12/mayor_cites_connecticut_school.html#incart_river_middlesex
  7. With all the $ that our governments spend on BS, under-funding of a fundamental hallmark of democracy- a well functioning judicial system- is inexcusable. Ethnically connected (italian, jewish, russian, mexican, chinese, etc) organized crime still exists, but they're just not as 'big-time' as the mafia once was.
  8. Just to pile on, Hackensack also asks for notarized ref letters.
  9. Looks like the best bet up north is going to be RTSP (no minimum age). Bullet Hole is 10 and Woodland Park, 8.
  10. Cool, thanks guys. What about bringing him (or anyone without a hunting license for that matter) out to the field when I hunt? No gun handling, just observing.
  11. My friend's son (7 years old) asked me to teach him about firearms- safety, handing, types, shooting... His dad is all for it, but doesn't shoot or know much about guns (American, but lives in England most of the year). I can teach most stuff at home, but as for actually trigger time- Are there any age restrictions on taking kids to a shooting range/WMA shotgun range? How about tagging along on a hunt without a youth license? Last, is there a minimum age our residency retirement for the NJ Hunter Education course? I think that would be ideal, since I don't have a .22 for him to try out and he also thinks muskets are really cool, lol. I guess muzzleloader is close enough. Thanks guys.
  12. I'll be in that area looking for turkeys. If I don't get one, I'll stop by around noon with my 20 gauge.
  13. well here's a scenario where coming to the door with a firearm might make sense. never get surprise visits. If someone is coming to my house they usually call or have been invited. So if someone knocks at my door unexpectedly I really have no idea who it might be. Depending on the time of day or more specifically the time of night, I might holster a weapon, concealed, prior to opening the door.

    I do. I've only had it a couple of weeks, but so far so good. Every thing I've read/heard is positive. As in it'll eat any/every ammo you feed it, shoots dirty, reliable,etc. The only negative I've heard is that it's bulky for CC, but this being NJ, that's not an issue. Also, Ruger's customer service has a great rep.
  16. Anyone hear about this? http://www.nj.com/hudson/index.ssf/2013/04/jersey_city_man_arrested_on_tr.html#incart_river More than a week before three people were killed and more than 260 people were injured in the Boston Marathon bombings, a Jersey City man carried two homemade explosives on an NJ Transit train, authorities say. Police also found explosive devices in the Newport Parkway home of Mykyta Panasenko, 27, Jersey City police said today. According to a criminal complaint, Panasenko is charged with having "two destructive devices, specifically improvised explosive devices (IEDs) constructed from a cylinder containing Pyrodex (black powder)" on April 5, the criminal complaint says. He is also charged with recklessly creating widespread risk of injury or damage to a building which normally contains 25 or more persons by constructing the explosive devices, according to the charges filed by the FBI-led Joint Terrorism Task Force and the Port Authority Police Department. The FBI did not return calls for more details and no one answered the door at Panasenko's home this afternoon. Although the arrest was made more than a week ago, it was not reported by authorities. The Jersey Journal learned about the incidents when Panasenko appeared in Central Judicial Processing court to hear the charges Wednesday. Authorities also charged Panasenko with having two improvised explosive devises at 4 p.m. on April 7 aboard an NJ Transit train leaving Hoboken and bound for Suffern, N.Y., the complaint says. Earlier this month the Jersey City Police Department's Bomb Squad responded to the home of Panasenko after getting information from the New York Police Department and the FBI, Jersey City Police Deputy Chief Peter Nalbach said this afternoon. Inside the residence police found "materials that may have been used to make an explosive device," Nalbach said, adding that the information came from a tip provided by someone who knows Panasenko. The complaint charging Panasenko with having explosive devices at his home was signed on April 15, the day of the Boston Marathon bombings, and the complaint charging him with having explosive devices on the train was signed on April 16.

  18. ^This Even if the chief/superintendent followed the letter of the law and approved your application because his dept. missed the deadline (yeah right), the next step is to have a superior court judge sign off. And that's where your app goes to die.
  19. OK, found it. The defendant was literally charged with possession of 1 hollow point and nothing else. The the gun was never found and no DV charge or TRO issued. This is from the case (identifying info redacted): On XX/XX/2012 Officer XX responded to 123 ANY Street on a report of a subject named ZZ with a gun involved in a domestic dispute. Upon arrival Officer XX approached the residence and could hear a female voice screaming inside. Officer XX approached the front door which was eventually opened by a black female, identified as YY. As Officer XX and Officer XX2 entered the front door a subject known to police as ZZ was lying on the floor behind the door. The officers moved the subject to the middle of the living room floor, handcuffed him and placed him on the couch. Due to the nature of the call the victim and a third occupant of the residence were also taken into custody. ZZ and victim confirmed that they were in a relationship and were involved in a verbal argument but were uncooperative in providing details of the dispute. All parties were asked about the gun and if anyone was in possession of a gun. They all denied seeing a gun or being in possession of a gun. A search of the immediate area was also negative for a gun. Shortly thereafter a witness, AA, arrived on scene and advised that she had placed the call to police. AA advised that approximately thirty minutes prior to the dispute she had observed ZZ playing with a silver handgun. AA stated she saw ZZ hold the gun in his hand and take the magazine out and rack the slide a couple of times. She further stated that a bullet fell to the ground but she did not know where it went or if ZZ put it back in the gun when he finished showing it off. AA further stated that the third person at the residence helped her break up the fight but did not handle the weapon or have any weapons. At this time the third individual was released and ZZ and victim were transported to headquarters for questioning. A search of ZZ incident to arrest located a .40 caliber hollowpoint bullet in his front pocket. Based on this a search warrant was requested for the residence but no weapon was found as a result of the search. The victim and ZZ both provided statements to police regarding the argument, stating that it was a verbal altercation only. Based on the officers findings ZZ was charged with Possession of Dum-Dum Bullets, 2C:39-3F, 4th degree and transported to the ANY County Jail, pending bail.
  20. +1. Transferring through OMG was, easy, painless and lowest price I've seen.
  21. I guess I misread "add-on" to mean add on to a firearms charge (which is I what I said in my post: arrested for one thing, also charged with HP even though no gun). I'll look-up that case tomorrow at work. As for "one holowpoint" only,I don't see what difference 1 or 10 makes, but I think I can get you a case like that too. More important than these examples though is the "principle" which explains them: local PDs and County Prosecutors aren't giving up arrests/convictions that conform to the letter of the law unless they have to. And so far, it doesn't seem that they do. While the AG's office may not pursue cases like these, County Prosecutors def. will.
  22. These aren't the cases I was referring to, but nevertheless.... No guns found in either case: http://www.nydailyne...rticle-1.290351 Rapper Juelz Santana is expected to appear in municipal court in New Jersey on Wednesday after police pulled him over for driving with a suspended license and found marijuana and hollow-point bullets in his Bentley, the Daily News has learned. http://www.courierpo...llets-Pine-Hill Carter originally gave police false identification to the officer. He was placed under arrest and during the course of the traffic stop, police found 37 packets of heroin, 44 jars of marijuana and 16 hollow point bullets. EDIT: Adding a 3rd article (loaded mag, no gun) http://www.lehighval...t_with_ten.html When police spoke with Watson, they saw in plain view a "Glock pistol magazine loaded with hollow point ammunition in the driver's side-door compartment." Watson was not in possession of a weapon. Watson told police he owned the magazine but forgot to remove it from his vehicle. He was arrested and charged with unlawful possession of 10 rounds of federal hydro shock ammunition. EDIT #2: Sorry to keep adding on, just pointing out that it's not a rare occurrence. This guy was arrested on multiple charges (none of them a firearm). Pled only to the hollow points: http://www.app.com/a...w-point-bullets
  23. Sorry, missed the request for the cases. I'll look them up. In the meantime, FWIW, I saw them myself at work, not secondhand. One guy (PA resident) got PTI, don't remember the other disposition.
