NJGF

Did you explain to the person that the fingerprints are not for NJ but for Florida? Try speaking to a detective or if necessary to the Chief. As a last resort speak to the Mayor. I am not sure there is any requirement for them to do this but they do as a service to the town residents.

This is amazingly good!!

If a rifle is in your future you have a lot more options. a ,223/5.56 rifle has minimal recoil and much easier to shoot than a handgun (it makes contact with you at more places and the longer distance between the sights helps enormously) and way more powerful than most handguns you would use. I have best luck with CCI Mini-Mags which goes for around $10/100 (sometimes better sometimes worse. Definitely contact your relative. Dry firing a revolver may also help build your strength.

You might want to get more than 3 permits depending upon your chief. If he is willing to extend the permits you then have 180 days to use them so you could get more than 3 guns. Also just in case a permit gets lost/mutilated, etc. it doesn't hurt to have extras (except the $2 extra for each). As others have said shooting .22 is not like other calibers (much less recoil, noise, flash, etc.) but that being said it is a great way to develop good techniques and some speed so don't feel rushed to get something bigger. I like the lasers that go into the actual gun you will be using. You at least get the real feel of the gun and it is a great way of developing trigger control at home. I have the LaserLyte Trainer Target Reaction Tyme http://www.laserlyte.com/products/tlb-rt They are small targets that you can start with up close and move away from as you progress. It is nice to be able to see how much the gun moves when you are just pressing the trigger. Also be aware that shooting .22 has its downfalls also. The ammo will not fire as consistently as a center fire cartridge (like 9mm). Then again that allows you to practice malfunction drills! Good luck on your journey.

I also lock up everything when traveling. I just don't use these locks but padlocks on my cases. It is OK to follow the letter of the law even if no one else does.

Sorry for the sloppy response. Yes you can carry in your home in NJ. I wasn't try to introduce anything new here. Again I apologize if I confused anyone.

I have been told that our carry permit for PA allows us to go to PA. But strict reading of the NJ statutes doesn't provide an exemption in that case. Once you are in NJ they don't want us to leave with our guns unless they say so. You would think they would want us to take our guns out of NJ but then again this is NJ. This is crazy stuff.

Absolutely nothing. Laying around.

Basically FOPA only covers you when traveling between states where you have carry rights in the beginning and ending destination states. In the states between them you must keep the guns unloaded and locked. Some areas don't follow FOPA (NYC).

Originally you could, the NH changes said you couldn't, and now the NH Supremes say you can. Everyone is waiting for the NHSP to change their forms.

Call me an optimist but I am not sure this ruling would stand even with the 8 current SCOTUS justices. They might do what they did in MA with stun guns and at least remand it back to the state to rule based on the US Constitution not the Kings rules.

If you are putting it in a garage (not recommended though) then put two dehumidifier electric rods in it. They depend on an air flow from the outside so you wouldn't want to seal it. It is definitely not optimal. If you have a big enough closet try that for the safe. Another idea might be to get two smaller safes that would fit somewhere in the house.

Speak to the person making the glasses. They typically will measure to the center of the glass but you can ask them to put the focal point higher on the glasses so they should be sharp when you look at the top part of the glass.

Welcome!

We can use a win at this point. Good luck.

Get a special set of shooting glasses so the rifle front sight is sharp with your dominant eye and your other glass is sharp on the target. It is strange at first but your eyes can quickly become comfortable with them.

Really LOL. I have a picture in mind of you guys trying to lift this thing. Cool story.

Their main point is that Heller doesn't talk about arms outside your house. So where in the words of the second amendment are these artificial limitations coming from. A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed. They purposely misread Scalia's words to change reasonable limitations (like not allowing committed people to own guns) to somehow magically mean that all citizens fall into this limitation. This is plain nonsense. We really need a Scalia like justice to be on the court!

Put a very very large dog water bowl next to the door. Also get a chewed on very large dog toy next to that. Can't hurt.

Not sure what happened to the link. I replaced it with one that I think works now.

It's always sad in NJ for the 2nd Amendment.

The 9th Circuit hearing the Peruta case enbanc just ruled that there is no second amendment right to carry a concealed firearm in public. http://cdn.ca9.uscourts.gov/datastore/general/2014/11/12/10-56971%20Peruta%2011-12-14%20Order.pdf "The en banc court affirmed the district courts’ judgments and held that there is no Second Amendment right for members of the general public to carry concealed firearms in public."

Legally yes but it will draw the attention of people (depending on the location).

Which is a good reason not to get on the wrong side of the chief.

Keep in mind that the door organizers take space from the shelves in the safe (the front to back space is a bit smaller with a door organizer).
