I installed the app and it looks pretty good. You can get alerts custom tailored for up to 5 areas that you choose.

I agree that this is very troubling and also hope that this charge was thrown out. Sometimes bad actors end up being very important cases. We seem to be on a very slippery slope with the 1st amendment very similar to the 2nd amendment and other rights we are losing (like the 4th amendment). Laws are being passed and overzealous prosecutors will use them. Although this guy was a bad guy the prosecutor did additionally charge him for his defamatory speech. When "hate speech" is criminalized who gets to decide what is hateful?

Free speech is truly being attacked just because people disagree with what is being said and yes people are being arrested for it: Hate speech prosecution in Montana https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/volokh-conspiracy/wp/2015/06/04/hate-speech-prosecution-in-montana/ 'As the Montana criminal defamation statute is worded, this means that hatred-inducing opinions are criminally punishable, too. Yes, this is that extraordinarily rare thing: an American prosecution for “hate speech” (State v. Lenio). The First Amendment doesn’t allow that.'

I have heard some evidence that many of the Sanders voters will possibly vote for Trump. Both groups don't like the establishment. The wild card is still the FBI investigation.

Is not having evil intent written in the NJ statutes? I never have any evil intent (well almost never) so does this exempt me from the draconian NJ statutes?

Clinton's "buy back" will be an Australian gun confiscation. This will be everywhere not just NJ.

I am an independent (unaffiliated in NJ speak) and I am now a single issue voter: 2A. Almost every politician changes their positions. Look at Obama's (and most on the left) views on gay marriage. Read Trumps position on gun rights in the link in Jdan05's post above. He is saying everything we want in a pro 2A candidate. HRC is going to make us and the NRA her target. In my mind there is no comparison. In our current voting system, a vote for other than Trump is a vote for HRC and this WILL be disastrous for gun rights.

The alternative is HRC. No comparison at all.

I doubt they will.

From NRA and MidwayUSA: https://membership.nrahq.org/forms/signup.asp?campaignid=XM030629 This is valid though 05/14/2016

18 U.S.C. 922(t)(1)©: IDENTIFICATION OF TRANSFEREE 27 CFR 178.124: FIREARMS TRANSACTION RECORD Licensees may accept a combination of valid government-issued documents to satisfy the identification document requirements of the Brady Act. The required valid government-issued photo identification document bearing the name, photograph, and date of birth of the transferee may be supplemented by another valid, government-issued document showing the transferee's residence address

Completely agree except I would definitely want one just for the fun. Also a 50 cal while I am at it!

Doesn't have to be a separate bag, just a separate compartment is OK (or the ammo can just be in a box).

Yes as long as it's NJ legal (<=15 rounds, etc).

At the end of a match you would have additional rounds in your mags.

^ Yup.

Even the NJSP website gets it wrong. If you have your NJ FPID you can take your rifle/shotgun and hold it outside of the window of your car as you are driving and you are OK as long as it's not loaded. OTOH I bet you will be pulled over!

It is a bit of a pain when you are finished at the range and have to unload 6 magazines before driving home. A pain but considering the uncertainty I do it. Others may choose not to and that is fine. As Howard mentioned the statues are only component of the law and it is difficult for non-lawyers to be up on all of the case law. We have to be careful just using the statutes and thinking we know what the law is.

I first heard about this in a class with Nappen. They are definitely being cautious on this (it is NJ after all). The following letter was from 2005: From: "Richard V. Gilbert, Esquire" <[email protected]> [Add to Address Book] [View Source] To: <[email protected]> Date: Thu, 13 Oct 2005 21:06:45 +0000 Dear Tom- My name is Richard Gilbert, Esq. I am Evan's partner. Do NOT carry a loaded magazine when you transport firearms. Police and prosecutors will consider it "part of the gun" and it makes a firearm more quickly usable. The gun would be considered loaded, and it would place you outside the exemptions for proper transportation of the firearm. Therefore, you would likely be charged with Unlawful Possession of a Weapon, which is a third degree crime (punishable by up to five years in State prison). It is simply not worth the risk. Good shooting! Rich Gilbert

It depends. If you are setup to, you might want to stay in place in your house. The roads might be massively blocked anyway and gas might not be available (Think about what it was like with Sandy).

This is a gray area. The magazine could be considered part of the gun and you can't have a loaded "gun" when transporting.

They also (sometimes?) have only 2 magazines not 3.

The closest I got was picking one up at a Glock Armorers course. I felt I was violating some NJ statute just by touching it!

Not a firearm but a prohibited weapon: 2C:39-3 e. Certain weapons. Any person who knowingly has in his possession any gravity knife, switchblade knife, dagger, dirk, stiletto, billy, blackjack, metal knuckle, sandclub, slingshot, cestus or similar leather band studded with metal filings or razor blades imbedded in wood, ballistic knife, without any explainable lawful purpose, is guilty of a crime of the fourth degree. btw: According to Nappan it wasn't supposed to be in that law but they typed slingshot instead of slungshot!

Mas is a great guy and everyone can benefit from his MAG-40 course.
