groundhog in the backyard>>> what to do
Yeah I live out in Sussex County and I checked the town code and there is nothing about firearms discharge. I hear people shooting all the time. I think I'll get a hunting license and start shooting the bastards. One of them dug up under my pole barn and started destroying the blacktop.

What is the legality of killing them? Can I take a shot gun and blow them away? I'm more than 450' from my neighbors.

Simplest gun ever?
Wasn't there one made in NJ? A really simple pocket pistol, single shot that didn't even look like a gun.

Did you see people openly smoking weed in the streets? Yes, it's like that there.

5 YEAR FPID RENEWAL QUESTION
Local PD or NJSP?

5 YEAR FPID RENEWAL QUESTION
Pending legislation shouldn't affect current validity at all. Either she is ignorant of the procedure or her department is illegally requiring renewal. I'd contact the NJ2AS and ask them about this as part of Operation Establish Compliance. FPID cards are supposed to be valid for life or until you move or become ineligible due to becoming a prohibited person.

Traffic Stop Question
I am glad that you'd exercise discretion and I am sure you agree that not everyone would. In the event of a traffic stop, my mission is mostly to get over with it quickly and with the least amount of charges. Because not consenting to a search and keeping my mouth shut achieves that, that's exactly what I do. It's nothing against you, it's not "LEO hatred" or anything. It's basic self preservation. Yes, I'm sure you are one of the good guys and not all cops are out to get people but as has been proven, there are cops who will arrest first and then let you sort it out in court. Nothing personal, just business.

Florida passed a law allowing teachers to carry in school
I LOVE Florida. Most parts of the state. Wish I could move there. Yeah I could just move but my wife would lose her years of service and pension. Not worth it just yet.

I want to move to Utah!
I think it's more of a culture thing. Mormons in general are very family oriented and a tight knit community. They also take their duty to God and their fellow man very seriously.

Yeah basically google fiber is 1 gigabit (1000 Mbps) internet service plus TV service. They've done a lot of innovation with it, even on the TV side. The only drawback is that the TV stations in Utah are owned by the LDS church so they cut out all the violence and language.

AR's are going to get really cheap now
Not in NJ. Our number will be up soon.

Traffic Stop Question
That's why I don't: Keep my FPID in my wallet (I don't purchase guns and ammo every day or go to the range every day and I obviously can't carry with a FPID) Keep my FPID next to my license. I usually keep it behind my range ID card which is stored in the center console when I'm going anywhere with a firearm. I must admit though this is mostly to keep the dog ears out of it and not to hide it.

Traffic Stop Question
I've been pulled over in NJ only twice and both times the only question I was asked was, "Sir, do you know why I pulled you over?" I've found the officer that pulled me over in each instance to be courteous and professional. None asked me if I had weapons in the car (once I did have a properly secured weapon, in trunk, unloaded, ammo separate). I'm not going to lie but I'm not going to volunteer any info either. Not for nothing I don't want to turn a 5 minute traffic stop and traffic violation into a full blown search of my vehicle. My main concern, apart from being arrested is TIME. I don't have a lot of time to waste, which is probably why I was speeding in the first place.

Traffic Stop Question
It's not "LEO hatred." It's called exercising your right to not consent to an unwarranted search. And you're right, not all are out to screw people, but I'd rather not roll the dice by consenting to a search.
-
Traffic Stop Question
One question - why? This seems totally unnecessary. If they're not secured properly what are you going to do? Arrest the person? More reason NOT to consent to a search.

Wasn't that found to be unconstitutional already? I recall that being part of the Heller decision. I can't imagine most of those proposals passing constitutional muster.

California gun owners get screwed
Recently I was offered a job by a large tech company in California (social media). I turned it down. As much as it would be awesome to work for them, I simply cannot stomach living in California. Yes, it's a pretty state but it's like living in a country club prison. About the only time I go there is to visit my brother at Camp Pendleton.

Looking good on the federal front!
Schumer is not an idiot. The portal would have made buying a gun easier for responsible citizens. That's something he doesn't want. He wants to make the process as difficult as possible.

Apart from respecting the 2nd amendment, they are getting Google fiber: http://www.dslreports.com/shownews/Google-Fiber-Coming-to-Provo-Utah-123915

I hope they push all the way to resounding defeat in 2014.

New York State Troopers - Hey, our members didn’t pass SAFE
Do you really think people will just idly stand by? I think there will be a lot of people contributing to the legal defense fund if such a LEO were to be found in such a situation.

Private NICS
Huh? Nobody who, as in lawmakers or individuals? I've always been a proponent of a smartphone based system or online system, or a self service phone system.

Utah CCW at Skylands Sport Shop
First of all, THANK YOU for this. Now I finally have a class close to home from people I trust (Skylands and GFH). What's the schedule like? Is it one per month? I only see one coming up and it's on 04/20 and I can't make that one. I was hoping I could take it next month if you guys are doing it then.

Yes, and some even face the threat of jail time for doing the right thing: http://www.foxnews.com/opinion/2013/04/04/foxnewscom-jana-winter-should-be-praised-not-threatened-with-jail-time/
