NJGF

Welcome!

btw: I think Clinton is pretty 2a friendly and as others have said doesn't have any restrictive ordinances.

Paul has a good suggestion. You can find many municipalities ordinances at: http://www.codedsystems.com/codelibrary/newjersey.html

IANAL: I don't believe the state has regulations.. Each towns local zoning regulations controls this as well as discharge and noise ordinances. They also might have rules about how close you can be to your neighbor to discharge a weapon. Checking with your local PD makes sense.

The Court after Scalia: The next “conservative” Justice may not save the Second Amendment A thoughtful analysis by someone who knows a thing or two about the second amendment. He doesn't paint a rosy picture. http://www.scotusblog.com/2016/09/the-court-after-scalia-the-next-conservative-justice-may-not-save-the-second-amendment/?utm_content=buffer269f3&utm_medium=social&utm_source=facebook.com&utm_campaign=buffer

Thanks everyone for the info. I ended up going with the 6" barrel. When I shot it at an indoor range it definitely gets the attention of people near you.

They also have a 24x7 indoor range.

In the context of the post about the FPID being a carry license it is true. As you know NJ statutes are byzantine. There are ways of transporting your long guns/handguns with no FPID as you mentioned when going to a range, etc. It would be extremely difficult to respond to every post with complete details about NJ laws. I apologize if this was confusing to anyone. Anyone interested can just google and read the statutes starting with 2c:39.

Because your FPID allows you to carry your unloaded rifle/shotgun everywhere with some exceptions like schools. You can have cartridges in your pocket and you don't have to be going anywhere in particular.

The NY1 spring (olive green color) adds about 3 pounds to the normal 5.5 pound trigger pull. The NY2 spring (orange color) adds about 5 pounds.

This is NJ so nothing about firearms has to make sense. Pump shotguns have very limited restrictions on minimum barrel length and overall length. For example you could have a folding stock on a pump. I guess our lawmakers think that pumps are so much less lethal than semi-auto's in NJ

http://law.justia.com/codes/new-jersey/2009/title-2c/2c-39/2c-39-5 c.Rifles and shotguns. (1) Any person who knowingly has in his possession any rifle or shotgun without having first obtained a firearms purchaser identification card in accordance with the provisions of N.J.S.2C:58-3, is guilty of a crime of the third degree. (2)Unless otherwise permitted by law, any person who knowingly has in his possession any loaded rifle or shotgun is guilty of a crime of the third degree.

http://www.phila.gov/philacode/html/_data/title10/CHAPTER_10_800_SAFETY/10_820_Cutting_Weapons_in_Publ.html §10-820. Cutting Weapons in Public Places. [180] (1) Definition. Cutting Weapon. Any knife or other cutting instrument which can be used as a weapon that has a cutting edge similar to that of a knife. No tool or instrument commonly or ordinarily used in a trade, profession or calling shall be considered a cutting weapon while actually being used in the active exercise of that trade, profession or calling. (2) Prohibited Conduct. No person shall use or possess any cutting weapon upon the public streets or upon any public property at any time. (3) Penalty. The penalty for violation of this section shall be a fine of not less than three hundred (300) dollars and imprisonment of not less than ninety days. So is protecting ones life considered ones "calling" in life? I would think so but.....

Me too! Just put the pad on yesterday. Haven't had a chance to fire it yet with the pad)

I am guessing that if the fuel tank is relatively empty the fuel air mixture will be best for combustion. A full tank not so much.

This can be a real issue. I know someone with lots of friends from school are very liberal and even though they like and respect the person they will not be references for anything 2A related.

Although this doesn't address the FPID directly, The NJ State Ethics Commission defines a relative as: http://www.state.nj.us/ethics/statutes/guide/famcode.html d. As used in this section, "relative" means an individual's spouse or the individual's or spouse's parent, child, brother, sister, aunt, uncle, niece, nephew, grandparent, grandchild, son-in-law, daughter-in-law, stepparent, stepchild, stepbrother, stepsister, half brother or half sister, whether the relative is related to the individual or the individual's spouse by blood, marriage or adoption.

At this point my use would be plinking. OWB holster (not concealable). The ability to stop a predator (bear or human) if the need ever arises. I have a permit and it looks like a nice gun to own. My concern is that the smaller barrels will be not so much fun to shoot accurately.

I am interested in getting the opinion of people you have shot the Smith and Wesson Model 629 revolver in different barrel lengths. I have shot the 6" barrel and it was doable. S&W has it available now in 2 5/8", 4", 5", 6", and 6 1/2" barrels. The longer barrels are heavier guns so that probably makes them easier to shoot.. Are the shorter barrels difficult to shoot (feel, recoil, etc)? I am interested in hearing about shooting .44 Magnum cartridge.(I know that the .44 special cartridge is a different animal and easier to shoot).

Just to visually follow up on .22LR vs .223: http://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/22_penny_223-tfb.jpg

Hickok45 release a video yesterday: "Common Sense Gun Safety - Shooting Steel" He also has an older video: "FAQ - 3 (Steel Target Information)"

Steel is fine at OBRPC.

IANAL: Nothing you have in the house is per se illegal. If you happen to have wasp spray sitting on a counter and grab it and use it when you see an intruder you would normally be fine. On the other hand if you walked around all day with wasp spray in a holster then not so much. btw: I have no idea if wasp spray is useful or not on an intruder.

There is an online free calculator that lets you enter any date and then add any number of days to it. https://www.timeanddate.com/date/dateadd.html

You can request (and pay for) inside delivery (sometimes call white glove delivery). Depending upon the safe it can cost a few hundred. They had all of the needed equipment and four guys to move it off the truck and into the house where I wanted it. They even placed steel plates on the floor so their pallet jack wouldn't damage the floor.
