No "Budget cuts" are a tiny cut in the growth of spending. "Massive budget cuts" are a slightly bigger cut in the growth of spending.

Gun store won't buy it?

I don't mind ending the war on drugs. It's stupid and it's your damn body! Let's not throw any more money down the rat hole. I would be in favor of protecting minors but adults can pretty much go to town, as long as they pay for their own healthcare if they eff themselves up.

Wow, they are slow!

It's the same in other states like Connecticut, so yes, that would be good.

Pretty much. They gave him a permit for him to go away. In 2 years when this case is dead and buried they don't need him having a permit anymore.

When I first suggested this (as I'm sure others have too) I didn't mean that we should do it right, right now. Frank is 100% correct that timing is everything. It would be foolish to do it right now, get denied and then it would have no use. It should be done with proper timing. My idea is that if that somehow the 94% "approval" rate comes into play and is successfully used to bolster the state's position is when we should be ready to act. Of course, Mr. Gura's word is what we should rely on. He is the expert. I would absolutely be interested to do this with his help. Think of it, if we are successful, we would have helped to rewrite history!

I renewed the car and I got one of those. I just put the whole piece of paper in the holder. The new one with the van was cut out already. I used to renew at the MVC office so I never really got laminated ones except when I first got my custom plates. I didn't want to pay the online convenience fee and I was in the area anyway. Newton MVC has very short lines. Last time I renewed by mail also to avoid the convenience fee.

What? You serious? They won't allow you to buy ammo and take it home?

I use GMail which has a decent spam filter. Very little spam gets by and all my legit email does.

There are safes to conceal firearms in plain sight, such as clock safes.

There's a section in Nappen's book which deals with this. 2c39-1 does exempt possession of antique cannons because they are classified as antique firearms. Even though they are destructive devices, so long as there is no commercially available cartridge ammo available for the cannon they are legal to possess, or if it was made before 1898 or if it doesn't fire any fixed ammo. This says you can purchase one if you have a FID: You are allowed to fire it with written permission from your chief of police for exhibition purposes, or you can fire it at a range.

Twice a month but ammo availability is putting a crimp in that. So I want to start reloading so I can go more often.

While that is true, firearms licenses can take a while to issue. They probably aren't worse than some NJ towns though. 8 months to a year is not uncommon. They approve like 50 permits a year.

What Duppie said. The Caribbean is mostly a gun free zone. Jamaica is especially bad because the crime problem is so bad, people are extremely anti-gun there. My grandfather and late uncle in Trinidad were gun owners. My grandfather had a double barrel shot gun and my uncle had a semi auto rifle and a handgun. If you think NJ's exemptions for gun ownership are narrow, try a country like Trinidad or Jamaica. To get a firearm license they had to show that they had land that was used for agricultural purposes and that they needed the gun for pest control. Even then, firearm permits take a really long time. You can then join the local association, make friends and that could be your gateway to getting more types of guns licensed to you. Other than that only the police, military and security guards have guns.

I almost exclusively use mac, so I don't have this problem.

Antique cannons are fine, BUT... amazingly enough you must have a FID to purchase them.

The best was the cop from ft lee talking about being struck by lightning.

Yeah I don't know why this should be my business. Live and let live. If he wants to carry and he knows the law, great. I'm sure if he has a CCW in VA he knows that he can't just carry everywhere in the country. I honestly WISH more people would just start carrying and not complying with these stupid laws we have here. A little civil disobedience when done in numbers does wonders. But we are so afraid of the state I don't think this will happen.

If you have a FID card you can carry rifles or shotguns all day long anywhere, unloaded. This includes your boat. Am I right?

Sounds like something interesting I could take part in, but since it's in Sussex county you're basically preaching to the choir.

Won't have a negative effect I think. The reason would be that NJ denied based on lack of justifiable need. Free states like NH don't have a justifiable need statute so you are not a prohibited person. You'd have to check the annoying box every time but it doesn't seem like you'll be denied. They may even feel sorry for you!

I came to this country with a few hundred dollars and I'm now in the top 5% of income. I didn't have a college education either but now I do (but I'm still paying off student loans). The top 5% is misleading because I live in NJ with high cost of living. Absent of mental illness or a genuine reason like a disability, I have no idea how people who are born here go into homelessness and poverty.

^^^^^^^^^^ Yep this. Remember they treat us like little children. They tell us lies hoping we will shut up and support them while they really just want to take stuff away. BUt they can't do it without being elected (er, well, sorta) so they still need our support.

I had no idea, but it looks like Parker Space (of Space farms) is replacing Gary Chiusano in the 24th district. This is pretty good news, because Parker is very pro 2A and is also an avid hunter. He was also the mayor of Wantage a few years ago. http://www.lehighvalleylive.com/warren-county/express-times/index.ssf/2013/02/parker_space_selected_to_fill.html
