Thanks. I will. I could always use help. E-mail [email protected] to help out if you live in district 3 or know someone that does.

I'm doing something about it. I am collecting signatures right now to appear on the democratic primary ballot for district 3 assemblyman. I have done all the research over the last year to be in full compliance with all the election laws and campagin finance reporting. Even if I don't win I am learning much about the process to serve as a model for others to follow.

Many people here are talking about a strategy that is currently taking place in district 3 for the primary election on June 2nd. If you live in district 3, Sweeny's district, e-mail [email protected] to get involved.

Is anyone on here from the third district? Stop posting here and get involved with running against the machines. http://njgunforums.com/forum/index.php/topic/74825-assembly-primaries-june-2nd-open-assembly-seat-district-3-–-volunteers-needed/

Unlike this effort that had good intentions, I know how the system works. And unlike the recall effort we are only talking about 2,000 votes to effect change. June primary approaching fast. See my recent post in this section. We are looking for representatives from the municipalities below that comprise District 3. Now is the time to act. Bad politicians don’t get voted out . . . Leaders get voted in. Email [email protected] to volunteer or ask questions. District 3 Includes: Alloway Bridgeton Carneys Point Clayton Deerfield East Greenwich Elk Elmer Elsinboro Franklin (Gloucester) Glassboro Greenwich (Gloucester) Logan Lower Alloways Creek Mannington National Park Newfield Oldmans Paulsboro Penns Grove Pennsville Pilesgrove Pittsgrove Quinton Salem South Harrison Swedesboro Upper Deerfield Upper Pittsgrove West Deptford Woodbury Heights Woodstown Woolwich

Effort includes obtaining signatures to appear on primary ballot, getting the word out about the candidate, and ensuring people vote in the primary. We are not sharing a complete strategy here as it is a public forum. However, two facts that should get folks excited as they represent opportunities. (1) Lack of a District 3 incumbent. Celeste Riley had to resign as she is the new Cumberland County clerk (2) Low voter turnout – NJ voter election turnout has been steadily decreasing and falls even lower when no national or governor race as will be the case this year. A little over 4,000 votes in total will be cast in the primary election on June 2nd. We only need the majority of this number to win.

Plenty of good youtube videos on this topic of real live stops. Many lawyers advise you to say, "I've been advised to remain silent." Easy to say, hard to do in practice without seemingly like you are a weirdo.

Agree with many posters here that this is an excellent class action scenerio. I suggest the orginal poster or someone in similar situation who received this threat communcation start to spearhead the effort.

The goal isn't to have the Honda dealer or other advertiser sell less, the goal is to have them move their ad dollars. And when you get one person to say to them that they are buying an Accord but not from their dealership it will get their attention. Think of it from the point of view of a lost sale here and there, not from the point that they are still selling cars. When you want to change behavior look for at the economics.

Many posters here have it right. Aside from what the editors actually believe, they print these articles to drive web traffic. As tempting as it is to surf their websites to see what they write and comment, the solution is to write the advertisers and say you will not buy their products or services if they continue to advertise with the star ledger or nj.com. You have to cut off the revenue stream. With print failing they are still making money via online channels. Start with the advertisers and then little by little cut back on surfing their site. Believe me I know it is hard. Try finding an alternative site that is hopefully not biased. It is good for your blood pressure.

We must make this an issue and not let it fall out if the news.

Agree with everyone's post here. Easy to get, lots of paper work. Got mine in about 45 days about 7 months ago. Also no one above mentioned that you do need to show that you already have a ccw from another state for the CT non-resident. It doesn't have to be from your home state, any state will do. I made a copy of my FL ccw license and included that in the package.

I just put I travel to CT often for work and stay for weeks at a time.

Age doesn't matter. There are plenty of people not registered from all ages brackets. I didn't say this was an easy task, that is why I called it a challenge. All I am advocating is to take the same passion and energy that you used to respond to my post and channel it into getting some more boots on the ground. It is very easy for all of us including myself to type out messages and hit send. It takes another level of conviction to get out and and talk to people in person and listen to their concerns. We need to get the right people in office, regardless of political affiliation.

How many people that have read this post or that have responded have registered people to vote that agree with our cause so we can get our guys in Trenton. Read my topic posted the other day called "How we win". Maybe the title was not clever enought but I would have thought I would have had more responses.

As a community we have done a good job of being vocal from e-mails, faxes and phone calls to rallies and counter-protests. Members of this forum, the NJ Second Amendment Society and other New Jerseyans that care, are standing up and telling Trenton that we are tired of feel good legislation that will not be effective. Some of us may question the effectiveness of writing e-mails and sending faxes to communicate our disapproval of proposed gun laws. Please don’t stop. Keep up the good fight. Having said that, one can argue that by the time a feel good piece of legislation is introduced, it is too late to effect change. I say this because we truly win when we get the right elected officials to represent us. In other words, we are always playing defense, and we need to start forming an offensive strategy. The time to get involved is now. People may question whether there is momentum moving in our favor in New Jersey. I for one think we do have favorable, albeit slight, momentum to at least fight off what is currently being proposed. Whether or not you agree, you have to ask yourself, “If not now, when?” “When am I going to really get involved and be and advocate for myself and others to shape the future of our great State and Country?” With a very popular incumbent Governor, general dissatisfaction with Trenton and with a very passionate firearm community, we need to mobilize and get voters out in a non-presidential election year. For past elections, when you look at the numbers by district, we are not talking huge landslide victories for each assembly and senate race wins. My challenge to all reading this is simple, go out and get at least 10 people registered to vote. Make them as passionate about the topics frequently discussed on this board as you are. In turn challenge them to get 10 people registered to vote. Don’t stop there; make sure they vote on election day. This goes for folks already registered. I have included the link to new voter registration forms for each county. Make it easy to help your fellow supporters get registered. Print the forms in advance. If they say that are not register hand them the form. Get them to fill it out on the spot. Better yet pre-fill some of the sections for them. No postage is necessary. No excuses. Who will accept my challenge? This is how we begin our offensive strategy. This is how we win. http://nj.gov/state/elections/voting-information-voter-registration-forms.html

Does the state make you have an FFL? Your reponse seems to conflict with info I found on the ATF website. http://www.atf.gov/firearms/faq/licensees-conduct-of-business.html#small-arms-ammo-licensing Q: Is a license required to engage in the business of selling small arms ammunition? No. A license is not required for a dealer in ammunition only, but a manufacturer or an importer of ammunition must be licensed. [18 U.S.C. 922 (a)(1)(B)]

Is anyone aware or any specific requirements for just the resale of ammunition? I am thinking about starting a side business to sell commonly hard to find ammo. I know it is not the best time right now with the shortages, just thinking ahead. To be clear, I am not talking about reloads. I would establish vendor relationships with the major manufacturers.

As a nj2as member I did get an e-mail regarding a civil disobidience approach. Frank even sent out a revision for people that were confused by the original e-mail. I'm not validating the blog post, just the fact that this approach has been discussed by the society.

I'm in district 3 (Gloucester) and I pulled up the election results from 2011. We had one republican assembly seat that we lost. The reason that I looked up the results is to see by how much each person won by. Sweeney won by approximatly 5k votes and the two assembly positions were less than 3k if my memory serves me correct. These are not high figures and can certainly be overcome if the word gets out and we get organized.

I e-mailed him and he wrote back right away suggesting I call his office. We traded voicemails so I didn't get to talk live. He sounded like he generally wanted to listen based on his tone in the message. Good luck with the in person meeting.

They approved mine in two weeks. Using their automated tracking system, I called after one week just to make sure they received it. The second time I called, at the two week mark, it was approved. It took another week before I received it in the mail, so three weeks total.

I have been browsing NJGF for over a year now and finally signed-up. I am a proud NRA and NJ2AS member. I really started to get vocal and active regarding our 2nd Amendment rights after getting my first handgun about a year and a half ago. I never realized how backwards our laws are in NJ until then. To give a brief timeline I went from never shooting any gun at all about a year and a half ago to now owning a Glock 32 chambered in .357 sig, a Benelli Supernova 12 gauge with pistol grip, and a circa 1960 Colt Colteer 1-22. I am well versed (by no means an expert) in federal and state gun laws and if I don't now the correct answer I say, "I don't know and I'll have to research that." I don't try to fake an answer or provide my opinions or perpetuate myths. I have Florida and Connecticut concealed carry permits so I can answer any questions regarding those processes. I also successfully represented my wife in overturning her FID card denial so I can also answer questions regarding that process. (It was pro se. I just provided her all the right information and things to say.) I am active in my community by regularly attending our township meetings and have recently gotten involved in the Gloucester County Republican meetings. I have some correspondence between myself and Senator Sweeny that I'll be posting in the NJ Gun Laws section of the forum which is rather surprising, then I remind myself what State we are dealing with.
