SCOTUS refused to take up the case of Kwong v DeBlasio (formerly Kwong v Bloomberg) where the $340.00 permit fee for NYC premises handgun permits was challenged. Therefore the lower court ruling stands and the fees have been ruled constitutional there. You read that right. It costs you $340 plus $100 for fingerprinting just to keep a gun in your home in NYC. This, apparently, is constitutional. Makes you wonder if NJ will pull that stunt when Governor Fulop takes office. Charge $1000 for FID cards and that excludes a lot of people.

Mustard. Ketchup is for your fries.

Yeah it seems odd because at worst you are carrying it for gunsmithing which doesn't require a new PPP.

There are two cases I know of that made the news. One was Greg Revell and this was before the Heller decision. He was arrested trying to check a handgun in Newark airport after staying overnight in NJ due to a missed connection. The other is a former police officer from maine moving to Texas who decided to stop in the back of a bank parking lot for a quick nap. Bank security probably called the cops and the cops arrested him after seeing visible gun cases.

I definitely pay more to NY than NJ and don't recover it all with the NJ credit. Maybe because I'm in a high tax bracket which is why it works out that way. Also, NY doesn't allow me to deduct my property taxes.

I have Progressive: Two cars: 2004 Honda Accord 2013 Toyota Sienna 100/300 Comprehensive and collision on both, $150 deductible, rental coverage $30/day One recent ticket (2012, lane change violation) Last accident 01/2012 (deer hit, $5k damage) $501 for the Honda, $684 for the Toyota, 6 months. This is in Sussex/Wantage. I don't like the company political philosophy but it is hard to argue with the price. I have had three insurance companies so far - GEICO, Travelers and Progressive. GEICO I had when I lived in New York. Hated them. Lost my check then sent me an angry letter threatening to cancel my policy. They were expensive too. Then I went with Travelers. Treated me better than GEICO, but still expensive. I did have a discount as a member of IEEE though. Then I shopped around and found Progressive. Price was too good to be true, but I signed up and I've been a customer ever since. I've had a few accidents and they took care of me really well. Most were no fault of mine, such as when the guy driving the pickup with the horse trailer rammed into the back of my car in PA. I just let Progressive deal with it and they recovered the deductible via subrogation. BTW in NY I was paying $7000-$9000 per YEAR to have insurance on my (one) car.

I can't recommend the one I deal with because they are too far for you. I can offer a few tips though. Whatever size of stove they recommend, get the next model up. We got an Avalon Olympic and we love it. With a nice fire of seasoned oak we do not have to use the gas boiler and it doesn't kick on. Get a blower for the stove. Convection pushes more heat into the room and house. Ceiling fans are your friend. Run them backwards and slower in winter. Burn seasoned wood and have the stove cleaned professionally every year. Cheap insurance against a fire and if you ever have to contact your real insurance they might ask.

And the minute your house burns down your homeowner's insurance has an easy out not to pay your claim.

I agree that it would attract the wrong kind of attention from law enforcement. I have not heard of anyone being convicted for this, however.

Again, the spirit of the law is to prevent poachers and illegal activity relating to wildlife. If I'm carrying an unloaded AR in downtown Newark (DEFINITELY not advisable) I am not poaching any sort of animal, so the likelihood of charging me under this statute is slim to none. Besides, the way this law is worded, it can also net people who have a carry permit carrying loaded handguns in a holster on their person in a vehicle. I am pretty sure this was not the intent of the law as written.

In my opinion? No. But NJ law does not define what is a loaded firearm and some other states go real far with the definition. So nobody knows yet because there has been no test case.

I second moving to EPA. Even moving to Delaware would be better. Stay far away from this state. The ONLY reason anyone should have to move to NJ is if they are going to be employed by the NJ Government. Many of us made the mistake of moving here and fully regret it.

It is indeed for all weapons. However, if you have a FID, it supercedes the exemptions. Here is how we come to the conclusion that possession of long guns outside the exemptions is OK with FID. 2C:39-5. Unlawful possession of weapons. b. Handguns. (1) Any person who knowingly has in his possession any handgun, including any antique handgun, without first having obtained a permit to carry the same as provided in N.J.S.2C:58-4, is guilty of a crime of the second degree. (2) If the handgun is in the nature of an air gun, spring gun or pistol or other weapon of a similar nature in which the propelling force is a spring, elastic band, carbon dioxide, compressed or other gas or vapor, air or compressed air, or is ignited by compressed air, and ejecting a bullet or missile smaller than three-eighths of an inch in diameter, with sufficient force to injure a person it is a crime of the third degree. c. Rifles and shotguns. (1) Any person who knowingly has in his possession any rifle or shotgun without having first obtained a firearms purchaser identification card in accordance with the provisions of N.J.S.2C:58-3, is guilty of a crime of the third degree. Notice they are worded the exact same way, except they substitute the type of gun and document required, as well as the type of crime. Therefore, the way it is worded, the FPIC can act as a permit to carry (possess) a rifle or shotgun. There are exemptions listed in 2C:39-6 which we rely on for possessing firearms at home, at the range and other places. But since we have the FPIC, which is a possession permit for rifles and shotguns, we don't need to rely on those exemptions for those guns. However, since we don't have a permit to carry a handgun (most of us non-LEO and non-SORA anyway) we have to rely on the exemptions for handgun possession.

I'm just an ordinary gun owner just like you. I have no law degrees or magic powers. However, I do research into these things and talk to attorneys who do offer legal opinions and advice. So what you hear from me is usually what someone else told me, or I read in a book, or saw in a presentation from an actual attorney, or a judge in a court decision.

In the video from Evan Nappen he says you can do it. He can offer legal advice, not me. He did say that it is not advisable though, for obvious reasons. If a cop sees a gun, you're going to get pulled over, and you're going to have to explain why. You may even get arrested and sort it out with the judge. Hence, not advisable. Ammo in mags is a topic beaten to death here. Nappen says loaded mags "could" be construed as loaded firearm. Others here have said it's OK. I don't know.

Don't overthink it. Just unload it, put it in the case, pack it securely in a box and carry it to FedEx customer counter (not Kinkos, or an authorized shipper. Go directly to FedEx) to ship. I did the exact same thing with my XDS. Even chuckled as I passed the "no guns" sign at the entrance.

I have UT and CT as well. I actually go to CT somewhat often.

Get Florida if you plan on going to Florida.

It's a $71 fine for the hunting violation, even if it applied to a non-wildlife situation. I doubt there will be door kicking because a cop saw your uncased AR Ina a gun rack

Still not buying it. The hunting digest says uncased firearm which would make carrying a handgun with a permit illegal too

That's why I said, "Maybe it violates hunting regs." I don't hunt nor do I have a hunting license.

One has nothing to do with the other. NJSP called my references for my initial FID and they didn't have the electronic process then.

That is only if you're carrying it under exemption. If you have a FID you don't need the exemption. A FID is like a permit to carry unloaded long guns. In fact, it used to say, "carry" on it at one time.

Utah needs to tread carefully. After expenses they ended up with a $2M surplus from permit fees. If it loses reciprocity, not as many will apply for it, and that revenue will be gone. http://www.ksl.com/?sid=27268239

Oh I know that. I think (I'm hoping, anyway) that Utah may be trying to get the agreement to where the non-resident permit would still be attractive.
