Wonder what effect it will have up North for us? My generator is always ready. Started it up yesterday and checked oil. Stay safe my friends.

Absolutely calm before the storm!!! NJ bills won't hit Christie's desk until April I think?

The plaintiffs were specific cases, IIRC, people who fit into specific categories. This would be sheer numbers of people applying to debunk the "we approve 94% of applicants" myth.

This. Maybe we can pitch this idea to the NJ2AS or a similar organization. I would be down with it. I have a feeling it would be most effective though if the court came back and said that because 94% of permits are granted there's not a problem.

No. Mr Muller was granted his permit after being denied. He'll probably have to check the box for life but he can carry.

This decision, probably in a few months. Then they'll likely have 60-90 days to craft a law. By Christmas probably?

So this is what I was asking in a roundabout way. Why don't people apply? Is it that we're afraid of having to check the box for the rest of our lives? There's also a contradictory argument going on here with Ms Wood's argument. Stay with me for a second. "Justifiable neeead is not an impediment to granting permits" "Justifiable neeead is well defined as an imminent threat of harm." (or something like that) "We need Justifiable neeead to protect the public safety. We can't just give out permits to everyone who applies." "94% of people who apply for permits are approved."

The first and only time I carried my Leatherman ST200 on my carry on they found it. At Newark no less. Thankfully I wasn't sent off to Gitmo and just allowed to check the bag.

That's interesting because the FCC considers it to be a home. I would imagine if someone parks up their RV in a park long term it can be considered their residence. A lot of RVers don't have a real home, only the RV.

Utah is recognized by statute. So it will take an act of the legislature to change it. Florida is reciprocal by agreement. The AG has to just modify the agreement. This is why it is easier to modify FL than it is for UT. I don't see the Governor signing a bill which kills the UT non-res.

I believe the NJSP requirement is a bachelor's degree or an associates degree with military experience. Local PD, I am not so sure if it is the same but I'd imagine that the state has some minimum requirement. And usually you want a degree in criminal justice or similar although I suppose if I were younger I could join the NJSP with a degree in electrical engineering (what use would it be really). You also have to graduate the academy before you turn 35. The NYPD however has a lower education requirement. They require only an associates. Pay starts about 45k when you're in the academy. But it's the NYPD and I think they have a residency requirement of the 5 boroughs or nearby NY counties. At one time I considered joining up. Corrections? I have a friend who's a retired corrections officer. He worked at Rahway for most of his career. He said he had his head bashed in a lot of times and suffered as a result. He's not in good health right now. But he gets to carry! Yeah, but is it worth it to give up your health for the ability to carry? I guess if you're in it because you want to make a difference then a LE career is good for you. I don't see why anyone would do the job otherwise. It's tough and they have higher divorce rates and more health problems. Honestly though given all of the scum out there on the streets, high stress and risk of death I wouldn't want that job. The guys who do it, hats off to 'em. I am in the technology field. I work at a large media company in NYC, one I'm sure you are all familiar with. The job pays the bills but I wish I was in something else. I'm very good at what I do but it's not exciting as I'd like it to be and I really don't think I'm making much of a difference in society other than stimulating the economy and being a minister in a ministry in my church. So what would I be? My dad is a teacher. Don't know if I'd want to do that. Pay is low unless you have many years of service. Summers off though and you get to make a difference. Firefighter? I've thought of joining the volunteer fire company here. I don't have the time now though. Ditto the local first aid squad. Maybe later on when things get quieter here. That would be awesome but still risky. But I'd be making a difference in society and saving lives. Some of my relatives wanted me to get into medicine. Probably too late for that now but my cousin is a doctor and she seems to be enjoying it. Maybe I would have made a good one. I can diagnose things quickly and provide logical steps to resolution. Research is also my strong point. Problem is due to time and money I couldn't do med school. It's expensive and 100k of student loans isn't on my to-do list. Maybe I'll invent something cool and useful. That can help humanity.

Been there once a few years ago to shoot with a friend. The range is small but it's OK. Never bought a gun from them but I would give them my consideration for a future purchase since they are very supportive of 2A organizations.

In the brief filed the deputy AG said that 94% of permits by non-LEO applicants were approved.

So if they approve 94% of permits, that means that if I apply for one I have a 94% chance of approval?

lmao quote of the year. My brother is there right now. Lots of food and ample recreational opportunities. He misses his wife and kid but he seems to be doing ok.

It's really up to you but I personally wouldn't disclose information unless I had to. As for items related to guns, it could be anything like magazines (the printed type like American Rifleman), shirts, hats etc and not necessarily firearms or ammo.

lmfao Yes I was having this conversation with my coworkers over lunch. Somehow we began talking about guns. One of them asked me, "do YOU have a gun in your house?" I said, "No. I don't have A gun. I have a few guns." The reaction wasn't the same as yours though. He said that it was cool and that he has an old drill rifle with the firing pin removed and that he thinks that hunting is cool. I said, "that's too bad. All of mine work."

UPS stores are locally owned and operated. They are not part of corporate UPS. They used to be called Mail Boxes Etc.

If you are 6'5" and look like a male model, match.com is excellent. Otherwise, not so much.

Part 1, handguns: Part 2, long guns: So there it is in black and white. The FID is essentially a permit to purchase and carry long guns. Now for the rest of the law, which talks about carrying firearms without either a FID or permit to carry a handgun.

NRA made a video on her: Her name is Katie Francis and she's only 13 years old. Wow, that's quite an accomplishment at 13!

The USA produces a lot of things actually. Our weak dollar is also helping bring back some manufacturing to the US.

You think they care?

I got through in one shot and got the packet in the mail a few days after. You do need a CCW from another state first before you can apply for CT. And as Vlad said it's not valid in PA.

Without the FPID he can only take it directly between these places - home, range, gunsmith. With the FPID card he can basically have it in his trunk and go everywhere with it.
