MANFRA 84

Thanks guys I appreciate all the support. I look forward to getting to know you guys too. Hope everyone up north is doing good as well. Luckily I haven't had any issues down here. Also keep me in mind if you guys ever do any kind of rallies for gun rights or just get together etc.

Blah... I made the move. My wife made enough concessions for me to give in. I feel naked everytime I leave the house now. I have a buddy in PA holding onto my AR15 until I decide what I am doing with it. I am currently unemployed so I am looking to go back to being a Police Officer right over the bridge. That would solve most of my issues. Luckily I live right in Cinnaminson, about 5 minutes away from the bridge to Philadelphia. Finding a Police job shouldn't be all that hard for me. Thanks for all the info guys I really appreciate it. Good thing is that I should be able to now help in our efforts to changing some laws in the "great" state of NJ

Yeah I didn't think resigning qualified as it doesn't here in PA. Oh wells....

I would have before I educated myself on your laws lol.

@bhunted, I was a Police Officer for two years before I was offered a job with the Natural Gas Industry in Northern PA. So I resigned, wasn't fired. @woodentoe, It is amazing that anyone could make a law because of what sits on your shoulder and in your hand. Doesn't affect the way the gun fires.

Yes my AR also has a collapseable stock. That would deem it illegal to have. Amazing that a stock and pistol grip somehow justifies legality in someones eyes.

Good god is right. How do you guys put up with such laws? It seems crazy. I couldn't even imagine leaving my home without a gun tucked away or even openly carried like Pennsylvania allows. Geeze, guess I'm staying on this side. Before I didn't have to worry because I was a Police Officer and the Patriot Act covered my right to carry in any and all states without a permit, but unfortunately that is no long an option unless I go back to Police work.

My wife wants to move to New Jersey to be closer to her family, but I can't get over the laws your state has on guns. I have pretty much already taken New Jersey off the table as far as a area to move to, but she keeps insisting and asked me to do more research. First I'll start off by giving you a quick bio of myself. I am new to this group, my name is Pete and I am 28 years old. I grew up in Pennsylvania right outside of Philadelphia all my life. I currently life in Scranton, PA (Home of the Office, yes I know..). I am a former Police Officer in the Philadelphia area but now work in the Natural Gas industry in North eastern PA. I carry, everywhere that I am allowed to carry. I don't leave home without my Glock 22. I also own a short barral .38 special revolver that usually is within arms reach of my bed and I also own a AR15. I plan on purchasing a few more firearms within this next calendar year. Now as far as I have researched, it seems as if it is a pain in the a$$ if at all to get a carry permit in NJ. That to me won't fly, period. Can anyone share their experiences with getting one or trying to get one and being turned down? Is self defense a good enough reason for NJ to issue you a carry permit? Am I allowed to have my AR15 (7-30round mags) and about a 1000 rounds of ammo in my house? I appreciate any and all help. Thanks again!
