It'll be 6 rounds so they can out do NY.

The TSA previously would inspect inside the firearm case. They would need your keys to open the case, obviously. You could request to be present during the screening of your firearm case, if you wanted. A supervisor was always present during that inspection as well. I know this because I used to work for the TSA and did the inspections. My experience 3 weeks ago is that they didn't ask to look inside the gun case at all. So they must have changed policies.

No, it goes to the general assembly for a vote. Given the other anti-gun bills that passed and are sitting on CC's desk, it's likely this one will too. Does anyone know how long the anti bills currently sitting on his desk have been there? He only has 45 days...

I'm thinking about applying for NH. It's cheaper than taking the GFH course for Utah @ $200, and I don't have to get prints or a picture. I only need it to to carry in PA...I already have FL.

This is why there are already anti-gun bills sitting on Christie's desk. He hasn't done diddly with them, yet. Probably just going to let them run their 45 day course and automatically become law. "It wasn't my signature that made them law".

I started getting excited when I heard some of them voting no, and expressing doubts about the bill. Some Assemblymen expressed great concern over the bill, yet still voted for it. I don't understand how they can approve something out of the budget committee without having done any sort of cost analysis. How do they know it is feasible fiscally to the states budget? I really wish the Judiciary Committee would strike the bill since it was improperly voted on in the Law and Public Safety Committee- against Assembly Rule 12:3. And as per 10:22:

No, they released the bill out of the assembly budget committee. It still has to go before the general assembly for a vote. Then to the governors desk for a yes or no, or a leave it sit on my desk for 45 days and then it automatically becomes law. There are no specific requirements in the bill. From what I've heard, it'll be up to NJSP. So it'll be something insanely expensive or impossible to qualify so they can deny us our rights. Jim Crow laws in the 60's during the civil rights movement made it illegal to require a "test" to vote. Since voting is a constitutional right, Scott Bach said today during his testimony that it would be appropriate to assume that it(Jim Crow law) applies to all constitutional rights, including the 2nd Amendment. So if they eventually do make it a law, I would foresee a lawsuit aimed at striking at least that part of the law down.

I turned it off right after they said the bill is released. Maybe I don't quite understand, but my understanding is that their job as a "budget" committee is ensure the bill is compliant with the state fiscal budget, no? Do they do any sort of cost analysis on any bills? I know they didn't do anything with this bill...

Not to mention it is the BUDGET committee and they have absolutely NO idea how much it will cost taxpayers.

Yes, as usual.

Bill is released, even despite reservations of many of the Assemblymen voting yes on the bill.

Now they just cut the first and only person off today. The lady for the Sportsman's federation of NJ.

Yes, they were asking him mainly questions about a digitized FID.

They aren't asking questions like they were on other bills like on Family Planning. I have a feeling this testimony is going in one ear and out the other. EDIT: They finally started asking questions at Scott Bach's testimony.

These immigrants don't have social security numbers, and think they are entitled to our tax subsidized in state tuition rates. These immigrants may indirectly pay some taxes, but they don't pay ALL that a citizen-resident of NJ pay.

Just moved onto The Higher Education Citizenship Equality Act. The illegals are causing a commotion.

They have got through a landfill closure bill, the GMO labeling bill, and now are arguing on the Tuition Equality bill. 2 done, 1 in process, 34 to go. Still more people to testify on this tuition bill.

They haven't. They are arguing over student capacity of our colleges and the impact of adding illegal immigrants. I'm a NJ resident, NJ born and raised, NJ taxpayer, and have been in the situation where I couldn't get a seat at our local community college because of the seat limits.

It hasn't happened yet. Waiting on GMO, and now I think they are hearing the Tuition Equality bill(illegal immigrants getting same the tuition rate for in-state residents)

Tell your FFL to call the NICS supervisor and check its status/ensure it wasn't lost.

I'm looking at the same thing. Saw on Twitter there this guy is there: https://twitter.com/BergenANTS He said that political games have started, about 50 college kids just piled into the room- apparently they are waiting to start the meeting until after they arrived.

Saw your editorial on NJ.com today as well: http://www.nj.com/south-jersey-voices/index.ssf/2013/06/letter_nj_senate_president_ste.html

I'm definitely looking at an old copy on their website! Looks like the one I referenced is from 2010...DOH! You have the updated one. Had I known that, I would have taken two guns with me to FL. My friend was asking me to bring my rifle(he never shot an AR) and my pistol down and I told him I could only do one as per Spirit's regulations.

Right in their Contract of Carriage:

Yes it will. But certain airlines(such as Spirit) only allow you to bring one firearm. Not that they checked my bags...They just made me sign that it was empty, put a tag around the gun case handle, and they took it to the TSA and informed them my bag contained a firearm. They didn't even ask for the keys to my gun case locks. In Atlantic City, the Spirit lady just took my bag by hand back to the TSA and came back and said "you're all set". In Orlando, they did the inspection out in the open, it appeared they just swabbed the bag for explosive residue and then sent it on its way.
