The only proven method is a scandal. Albano (even though he is pro gun) was removed because of the trooper scandal. We need dirt on these people. Start digging.

Pretty sure others have, but there was a landmark case that said they could take how long they want (or something to that effect).

Shawn could be correct but it's not official yet so please keep the pressure on Gov. Christie.

"it's complicated." Basically California AG Kamala Harris had filed a motion to intervene and be a party in the case. Sheriff Gore had decided that he's out of the case and even refused to answer the court. Brady campaign also filed for a motion to intervene to be a party in the case. Kamala Harris has also asked if the case could be reheard en banc (full court hears the case, instead of just 3 judge panel). The court asked Peruta's attorneys and Gore to write a brief in support or against the motions to intervene. Sheriff Gore initially did not respond to the court. He wants nothing to do with this. The Court ordered him a second time to write a response. He wrote one saying that the AG would be appropriate to intervene. That was on 5/14. Nothing has happened since. Your guess is as good as mine but theories are that the opinion will stand. Let's cross our fingers and hope it does. The 9th circuit has a webpage dedicated to Peruta with the briefs: http://www.ca9.uscourts.gov/content/view.php?pk_id=0000000722 Attorneys Michel and Associates also has a page with that info plus a few other things: http://michellawyers.com/guncasetracker/perutavsandiego/ So right now we are waiting for the court to decide on the motion to intervene and rehearing en banc.

2A will be questioned without a doubt for a NJ case. Yes, NJ did play very well, but so did California. California does the same thing except they call their discretionary issue "good cause" and we call ours "justifiable need." The Peruta decision goes in depth as to why they can't do what they did. They can regulate the right but not destroy it. They used to allow carry of unloaded handguns but when they killed that, I believe that is what caused Peruta to be ruled the way it was.

I agree with caution. I will add this word too - discretion. Both of them, used together will keep you out of trouble.

Not that much. Probably less than 100k, depending on the attorney. Obviously if you hire someone like Paul Clement it is going to be much more. However if you have a case worth pursuing, SAF and/or NRA might pick it up and help you with attorney's fees. A "straight 2A case" is a case involving the application of the 2nd amendment. There have been a few "gun" cases but they haven't been 2A cases. For example - US v Castleman - while it involved Castleman's status as a prohibited person for owning a gun, it was purely about the statute, not about the right to keep and bear arms. There was another case - US v Abramski, which is about straw purchases. Again, while it is a "gun" case it is not a 2A case because it only concerns the statute, not the constitutionality of the action. In fact it has more to do with regulation of interstate commerce than guns. Apart from those there haven't been any "gun" cases at SCOTUS since McDonald in 2010. Ok, looks like I was wrong about the first point. http://www.marketplace.org/topics/economy/how-much-does-big-supreme-court-case-gay-marriage-cost

If you have friendly state legislators contact them as well. Ours contacted NJSP FIU and demanded and demanded an official explanation. Be sure to contact ANJRPC strikeforce [email protected]. They are planning legal action against these noncompliant towns
-
Call them and annoy them regularly. They will probably give you your FID just for you to go away. It worked for a guy up here when NJSP was giving him the runaround.

Or pick your friend up in PA and drive to a range in PA.

Point of reference - two court cases have clarified this - Perez and McGovern. McGovern will probably be appealed to the state Supreme Court by Jersey City Mayor Steve Fulop where he will likely lose. So if your PD is giving you static, print out the decisions and hand it to them. If they still give you static, contact ANJRPC Strikeforce - [email protected] That said, for me it's about what kind of extra forms they want. If they simply want stamped envelopes to mail paperwork to references, I will give it to them. If they want an affidavit from my wife and passport photos they can go pound sand.

The best thing you can do to obey the law is to simply obey the speed limit and drive safely on the way to the range.

You have a 3400 sq ft basement and you don't have property to shoot outside?
-
That's not a law. The law is for hunting and it's 450' If you're not hunting you can discharge right next to a house. Besides, if you have the owner's consent the distance limit does not apply.
-
Absolutely fine. You are shipping it back to the manufacturer for repair and going to FedEx is a reasonable deviation. Pack it securely and declare it, and make sure you use the fedex customer counter and not kinkos.

Check out the ridiculousness from the Sussex County prosecutor. You can bet they made sure and imported antis up here to deny permits (the prosecutor was appointed by Jon Corzine). http://www.scribd.com/doc/228328695/In-the-Matter-of-Israel-Albert-Almeida-Permit-to-Carry-a-Handgun-Prosecutor-Statement-and-Response Among other things, they are telling him to close down his business if he gets threats from street thugs.

Even if the museum posts a "no guns" sign, unless it's a Federal building, school or similar area prohibited by law the signs have no force of law in VA. I am not saying don't respect the private property owner's wishes, but you are under no legal obligation to disarm because of a sign. They can ask you to leave if they find out. Many people go by the rule "concealed means concealed." Obviously if there are metal detectors they could find out you are packing and tell you leave the gun in your car. www.handgunlaw.us is an excellent guide.
-
So they're going to come with a backhoe and dig up every square foot of your property?
-
Not necessarily. You give them what they know about and then when they are gone you still have what they don't know about.

Well, to be fair that one does seem important. Telecoms infrastructure is blocked up by NIMBYs and BANANAs and it affects safety of life and growth of the economy, with mobile being a big component of our economy these days. But you are right, they seem to be taking up "softball" cases, such as Pom Wonderful v Coca Cola and ABC v Aereo. I mean, who the hell cares?

As others have said, you will have 180 days to bring the magazines into compliance or get rid of them. What will actually happen is another story. I suspect most people will simply do nothing. Some will actively not comply and say, "come and take them."
