SAF v NJ (MULLER et al v. MAENZA et al)
Thanks ryan-j. I just read all the docs. Don't know how this could not be heard with 38% of the states requesting it along with most of the other arguments pointing out that lower courts are ignoring the scotus rulings. Can't hurt to feed their egos. Sent from my XT1080 using Tapatalk

Our laws suck so bad the attorneys general from 19 other states want them changed lest they infect their states. Sent from my XT1080 using Tapatalk

Do we have to "declare" if we're pulled over?
Cops have a hard job. When I get pulled over in my car, it is always the same thing. Pull over, roll down window, turn on interior lights and place both hands on the wheel. Let them see you are no threat. When they ask for DL/reg, etc, I explain where I am reaching and for what I am reaching. On my bike it is similar. Pull over, turn off, put down kickstand and I put my hands out to the side. Again, lets them know I am no threat. Same deal with docs. "My DL is in my wallet inside my tank bag, I am gonna reach in and get that." Usually these actions go in your favor. I have had cops ask me something like this "seems like you are a pro at this. You must get pulled over a lot" or "you seem to be awful polite, you hiding something?" I always reply that I am just trying to show them courtesy by being as clear with my actions as possible. All that being said, it will be a cold day in hell before I consent to a search or answer questions that have nothing to do with the stop.

Time to start a new gun group in NJ???
millsan1 replied to brocglock23's topic in NJ2AS - New Jersey Second Amendment Society's Discussion ForumWhat to do, some ask. From my standpoint, I say renew and support. I will. But work with NJ2AS to make the whole better, which I will not. I certainly won't work against but I will not be putting in anywhere near the effort I have in the past.

Time to start a new gun group in NJ???
millsan1 replied to brocglock23's topic in NJ2AS - New Jersey Second Amendment Society's Discussion ForumAgain, makes my point. The project was being planned, but the first steps had been released. Which makes it no plan. NJ2AS had an IDEA. They had not yet made a plan, had an end goal, established milestones nor had a concrete path to success, but they told members to go out and start. Analogy: Dad: Hey kids, lets all go out and get ice cream! Kids: Yeah! and they pile into the car. Dad sits in the house and starts trying to figure out if there are any ice cream stands open, if the cars is running, if he has the money for ice cream and if ice cream is really what he wants his family to have. Kids get anxious and pester dad. Dad says "FINE! GO GET ICE CREAM YOURSELF! Don't you have any patience?"

Time to start a new gun group in NJ???
millsan1 replied to brocglock23's topic in NJ2AS - New Jersey Second Amendment Society's Discussion ForumTwo points: 1 - Yes, you are right. If one is not ready to lead a project, you are not the guy. I totally agree. This wasn't my project. This was the NJ2AS project. I was a volunteer. When I say I asked for help, I am talking about the basics. What forms to fill out, etc. Not deep planning for a successful campaign. I put forth this analogy: NJ2AS - We are building a house and need volunteers. Me- I'll help Next day, I show up with my hammer and saw and toolbelt. NJ2AS - OK where are the architectural drawings and permits? Me- um........ 2 - So you are saying that Frank was giving a speech, I noticed he had not mentioned women, I suggest he mention women, he tells me "yeah, I was going to do that" and that this had been gone over 20 times in a meeting? We were at another meeting and I mention to Frank that when we go to the rally, we shouldn't wear camo and such, and he says "yeah, I as just gonna mention that" is another item that had been gone over 20 times? I think you owe me a farm.

Time to start a new gun group in NJ???
millsan1 replied to brocglock23's topic in NJ2AS - New Jersey Second Amendment Society's Discussion ForumI am posting my story only. I am not speaking for anyone nor any group. I am an NJ2AS member. I have volunteered for NJ2AS functions. I was at and spoke before every committee meeting this past year. I was at and spoke at many community meetings re: 2A last year. I have donated $ to various NJ2AS requests for projects. At the suggestion of NJ2AS, I ran for office last year. At every shooting event I was at, I let people know about the candidates from all districts. I was a member of the "Twitter Army" or whatever for NJ2AS. I appreciate the work that NJ2AS has done (Project compliance, the buses to the state house, etc) I have the following concerns (brief summary) Frank's attitude towards members of NJ2AS Lack of direction, planning and follow through of NJ2AS Leadership Committee projects Background complete, here is my story. NJ2AS suggested to members we become candidates. I took the bull by the horns and did so. Whenever I asked for guidance or help in the process, I received little to none. I was told to go through the motions, figure it out, share my experiences and give them a report, so the next batch of candidates could have success. This was my first inkling that the board did not make plans, that they got ideas and went forward. I got my ass handed to me, but I did my part. At some point in time later, it was suggested that we all go out and get the paperwork for CCW. Then, when the time was ripe, we strike! But again, nothing came of that project. I had several interactions with Frank in person, and made several suggestions. Each was met with "oh yeah, we were already going to do that." Possible, but not likely. If anyone has video from the first demonstration, at some point in time, Frank makes mention of all the females that were present. Back up 1 minute. You will see me talking to Frank. I suggested he mention the women present, and was told "I was already going to do that" 1 minute later, he makes the comment. Something similar happened at a different meeting and another item re: procedural stuff had the same outcome. Now either Frank and I are on the exact same wavelength, or I was being dismissed and my idea used. To be clear, I was not looking for him to give me credit, but "That's a good idea" is much better than "Oh yeah, I was already going to do that", which seems like a stretch that all 3 times we spoke, it happened. So these things, put me in a position of removing myself from NJ2AS FB page, 6 months ago. Still an active member, but not so motivated. About 2 months ago, I posted something, not really sure, on a FB page (not NJ2AS) and Frank immediately and angrily and publicly attacked me, my involvement, cursed me out, etc. First reaction. No discussion, nothing rational, just an attack. I asked him to call my cell, so we could talk. He called my cell, cursed me out, minimized my participation, compared which one of us has done more (he has, no doubt, but what does that matter?). He then hung up on me. I managed to get a phone call in with him where I was allowed to speak. I brought up my concerns and his response was something along these lines: "Oh you are one of those people who needs everything handed to you on a silver platter. You have accomplished nothing in life and never will." So by asking the organization that suggested I run for office for some guidance, I am looking for everything on a silver platter? I won't go into life accomplishments, that is silly. Sweet. So I still stayed a member, and was even less likely to be engaged. Fast forward to this past week and I became aware of a page called "Banned by NJ2A$$hole" which I immediately knew who they were talking about. Let's be perfectly clear on this. The page is NOT anti NJ2AS. It specifically attracted me because of the target of the ire expressed there. No one on that page is anti 2A, anti NJ2AS as an organization or is looking to splinter nor bring down NJ2AS. I am confident that ALL of us want a better, stronger NJ2AS. We just feel the group and position have outgrown Frank. Again, to be perfectly clear, I don't know nor do I care about the story behind Ron and Frank. I really could not care less, beyond the point that another member was diminished and attacked by our president for putting forth a dissenting opinion, as I was. As the group grew and conversations flew, it became clear that a good number of people have been on the receiving end of this. And to a person it appears that the attacks were based solely on disagreeing with an idea or thought put forth by NJ2AS. I have been kicked off the Twitter Army, because if you don't agree with Frank, you don't agree with NJ2AS and are trying to fracture the group. And as a punishment for trying to fracture the group, the NJ2AS has decided to fracture the group. Sound logic, huh? I emailed with Frank and expressed my concerns with his actions. His replies all centered around NJ2AS and how little I have accomplished, blah blah. But the most telling thing about these interactions is that it is clear to me that Frank believes he IS NJ2AS. He is not. He has put in the most work. It is the organization he founded. But the members are NJ2AS. It is clear that the group is his private fiefdom. I made the wall of shame, Anthony Mills! So long story short, I was heavily involved, grew weary of the directionless actions of the executive committee and was attacked by the president multiple times. My response was to pull back from my involvement, and join a FB group of like minded people. For that, I am vilified. OK. Sounds good. I am moving to PA. I will still be a member of NJ2AS and send in my $. I care deeply about all of our rights. I want success in NJ. If I can help, I will. But I will not be cursed at, insulted and diminished for simply putting forth a differing opinion by a man who leads a group that is supposed to care about all our rights. Flame away.

Some fun on Facebook
Yeah it was fun going back and forth with people. I used "90% of people want this". "No right is absolute" and "think of the children" to bolster the argument. Then I let everyone know this is satire but similar to NJ ccw. Its intent was to make a point. At least one of my bleeding heart liberal friends agreed that put in this light NJ ccw is a huge infringement on a right. Sent from my XT1080 using Tapatalk

Some fun on Facebook
I posted this for fun: Finally some sanity in politics. A common sense approach. A Bill has been introduced in the NJ Assembly. The Bill requires education, proof of understanding and more importantly, proof of need, beyond all other means, to practice the Muslim religion. Since we all know that the majority of terrorist attacks in the US have been at the hand of Muslims, it only stands to reason that if we had fewer practicing Muslims, there would be fewer attacks. In order for your application to practice the Muslim religion, one must meet the following criteria: Urgent need to practice the religion 40 hours of theology training Proof that there is no other option other than practicing the religion that will allow you to accomplish your goals Once you meet all those requirements, the process continues: One must fill out an application with their local police department. Your employer and two credible character witnesses must be contacted and notified of your application. If the police chief agrees with the application, he/she will pass it along to a superior court judge for review. If the superior court judge agrees with the need, then you will be given a permit to practice the Muslim religion for 2 years, at the end of which you must reapply. The law has a timeline of 30 days for the process to be completed, but it is understood that it can take anywhere from 2 weeks to 9 months.

NJ Judge says we have the right to use handguns outside the home for self defense (RPO permits for arson investigators)
Here is another gem. Some cop said that acts of violence are quick and random, so no one would have time to defend themselves if they were attacked. And since an attack could happen in certain places (schools and public buildings) where it is constitutionally OK to ban guns, then that ban extends to all places. Basically says you are not allowed to carry in school, and you could be attacked in school, so the fact that you could be attacked outside of school doesn't apply. HOLY SHIT

NJ Judge says we have the right to use handguns outside the home for self defense (RPO permits for arson investigators)
I just read all 85 pages. What a crock of shit. Basically, NJ long standing laws are based on the legislature knowing what is best. No fact, no science, no evidence. Just the dipshits in Trenton "knowing" that it would be unsafe to allow guns in public. This is further eveidenced by a few cops going before a committee and saying that they don't know of any defensive uses of fireamrs in public in nj. No shit. It has been illegal to carry in public in NJ for 75 years. So law abiding people don't carry. So they can't defend themselves. This is akin to saying that there are have been no orange and green tiger striped cars involved in a DUI. Yeah. Cause there are no orange and green tiger striped cars. Additionally, in 1966, 15 people showed up and said "we are for guns, but not concealed guns", so therefore gun rights activists agree with the legislature. They also found that safety training and knowledge of gun law should be required. But even if you have both, you still shouldn't be able to carry, well, just because.

They are well stocked. All calibers and no limit. I think 555 22s were $31. Not sure on prices for other ammo, but they were always fair for a retail store. Had a bunch of everything else. Just FYI.
