Yes, and I have a feeling he wants to see Drake granted.

Drake won't have any effect on mag restrictions unless SCOTUS decides to add that on. But that wasn't what they were asked. That would come as a challenge to things like the NY SAFE Act, CT AWB, or any AWB in any states that have it (MD, CA, MA, HI, CO, IL) and even a challenge to our own laws. Why aren't we challenging the 15rd limit?

Put it curbside with a "FREE" sign next to it. Also put an ad on craigslist with the location.. ETA: I saw you did that. HMM My town has a bulky waste pickup where you pay $30 for a sticker and are allowed up to 500lb of stuff. What happens though is that overnight people come and take stuff. That's fine by me but I'm pissed that I paid the $30 when people took all the stuff! I could have had it hauled away for FREE!

You have a point! But I like to be optimistic... Besides, it looks like Judge O'Scannlain is playing chess with the Peruta decision and Kamala's motion to intervene.

Maybe, maybe not. Anthony of GFH just made it FREE for members of his range. I am hoping ANJRPC will also make the quals available for range members at Cherry Ridge. What better way to stick it to NJ than helping people get licensed. I would gladly go through the instructor certification and volunteer my time.

Agreed but if the restriction is limited to criminal activity it does nothing to us. Again, I do not want the bill, but you know they are going to pass it sooner or later...

I don't want those amendments. I don't want the bill period. But understand that once Christie rides off into the sunset, Sweeney, Fulop or whoever is going to sign a 10 round bill. Might as well contain the damage long before they get to pass the one they want. So restricting it to criminals only will satisfy that.

The former plaintiff for the McDonald case in the Supreme Court has passed away. He has been ill for a while now. http://www.examiner.com/article/breaking-otis-mcdonald-champion-of-supreme-court-victory-passes

Didn't florio promise the police union that only police officers would carry in NJ?

I believe NRA basic pistol course, plus a range qualification will satisfy the requirement. There may be a state test as well.

Yep. I would be fine with that... punish the criminals, not the law abiding.

that was federal law which expired in 2004

Of course. In my world they would also have to qualify annually and take a course in the use of firearms in an active shooter scenario.

They are probably going to amend the bill to "address our concerns." Some of the rumors I've heard: 1. They will grandfather existing magazines. 2. They will amend to exclude tube fed .22LR (already amended I believe) 3. They will provide a "magazine exchange" to placate an obviously pissed off Anthony Colandro. 4. They'll open a compliance window so people don't become overnight felons. Of course they may do none of thls. I think what would be sensible is if they would amend it to only apply during the commission of a crime, as an add-on charge. That would be a compromise I would accept.

Lots of places do it. GFH does it with walk ins. "Justifiable need" CCWers have to qual once per year. If we go shall issue, I'm guessing they'll expand it... I'm also hoping ANJRPC will do the qualifications at Cherry Ridge. That would be awesome.

It seems plausible. The bill has produced more backlash than any other gun bill they proposed from what I was told. But it's odd that they'd backtrack because they don't have an election to worry about for the next few years.

He's suing to overturn NH's new requirement to have a permit from your home state.

They can't carry and neither can anyone else. BTW, I wonder if A-Rod can carry in the stadium? He has an unrestricted CCW from what I've been told. Our company has a suite and I sometimes get to go. Catered food, drinks (beer and sodas), flat screen TVs and your own private seating.

No, they just need to see it. In NJ they go one step further and record the purchase in a little black book.

So the good thing about this shooting (as if there is a good thing about any shooting) is that most of the calls seem to be for arming military personnel on base. Few of the calls seem to be for more gun control... I guess people realize that it would be stupid to say that the military shouldn't have any guns on base, or that their rounds should be limited, or that "assault weapons" should be banned. I am all for arming the troops on base, but I can start with a reasonable compromise. Allow officers to carry their sidearm on base. They already do it during deployment on bases on foreign soil. Later on, it can be expanded. But officers are a logical place to start. They have positions of authority and they are usually over 21, since most of them have college degrees.

Unfortunately you'll get sent home at many ranges for that... I shoot at CR and they have a rule that your target cannot bear any resemblance to a living person. (or even an undead one).

I can buy since I have a CT pistol permit. But you guys do realize that NJ does the same thing, right? They require a FPIC for handgun ammo. Anyway, it's not hard to get a state CT pistol permit. You need the NRA basic course, fill out the forms and apply. You also need a permit from any other state. It's not cheap but if you go there often like I do it's well worth it. Especially if you go somewhere like Bridgeport.

Well I hope you guys are right. My handguns are itching to ride by my side in the garden state, like a good friend who is always there when you need him the most.

Absolutely. If the court cannot enforce its mandate, then why should anyone listen to the court? NJ cannot have selective hearing either. If it wants to point to court precedent to uphold things like same sex marriage, it has to also obey the other orders that they do not like. But let's not get ahead of ourselves. Let the Supreme Court take the case first. If they do and if we get a favorable decision, it is then time to start contacting our legislators. For a new carry bill, Mike Carroll's "citizens protection act" would be a good balance. It brings us in line with other state like VA, FL or AZ. Also, be sure to support ANJRPC and SAF. SAF is very easy to support through AmazonSmile.
