Why is it inaccurate? 2C:39-5. Unlawful possession of weapons. 2C:39-5. Unlawful possession of weapons. a. Machine guns. Any person who knowingly has in his possession a machine gun or any instrument or device adaptable for use as a machine gun, without being licensed to do so as provided in N.J.S.2C:58-5, is guilty of a crime of the second degree. 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.

Probably may issue Philly and universal background checks for handguns.

I have a feeling she will retire before the end of the Obama Presidency. People are saying shrillery is inevitable but I don't think so.

We already know NJ is up there, #2 in this list. But how did PA make #10? That's pretty strange. http://www.deseretnews.com/top/1428/0/10-states-with-the-strictest-gun-laws.html

What I was talking about was completely different. I see logic and you haven't crossed paths yet.

You can't say that with any certainty unless you are a NJ judge. (and you aren't) Isn't that called constructive possession? Your example is irrelevant anyway, they already say that a firearm rendered permanently inoperable isn't a firearm.

The big reason Evan said not to get a C&R FFL is because NJSP runs a list of FFL holders and NJ dealer licenses (they are separate) then may go out and just raid the names that don't match. He was saying that some C&R FFLs get caught up in that and it's not pleasant. There was a case of one guy who had records of everything kept, followed the rules to a T and they still came and turned his place upside down because of the mismatch.

That's Katie Francis. She's 14 now, but yes she's amazing.

I purchased in PA and he got the conf in seconds.

You'll need a PtP and it's like buying a new gun except I believe you are exempt from OGAM.

On a side note, this concept of a federal preemption is in my opinion why FOPA would apply for a NJ resident transporting out of state for a lawful purpose.

If you buy it out of state you don't need a permit. PA Walmarts have it in the shelf. Cash and carry.

They won't because they still have to explain justifiable need and how it survives scrutiny under Heller. Evan was on GFH radio this week explaining the case and other things. Evan may not view the NJSC as the final stop for this case. The USSC is next.

Aitken is important because all charges were dropped except the hollow points and the judge narrowly interpreted the law. Whether they did this to nail him for "something" or did it because he was genuinely not guilty is irrelevant. The fact is and the point is that NJ judges narrowly interpreted the law and do so all the time. Yes people do things for years, all the time. Doesn't mean it's any more legal! But the point is that WE DO NOT KNOW because there is no case law, and until there is one, you act at your own peril.

If you're moving from one house to another with hollow points, is that legal? If you're walking through an airport terminal with a gun in your suitcase, is that legal? These are things people thought was just common sense but the courts came back and narrowly interpreted.

Let's say you have an AR with a fixed stock, and a separate collapsable stock (not attached to the gun) in your NJ home. Police raid your house, find both. What will be the outcome? This is another question routinely asked here and the answer usually is "constructive possession." But anyway nobody knows because nobody has been arrested/charged/tried for it.

Probably. Why? NJ does not define loaded. Common sense? Didn't work out too well for a number of cases, including Revell and Aitken. But anyone with common sense will know that it's not loaded. However, if it gets to the point where you're placed in front of a judge for him/her to figure that out, there's a chance we could answer this question, and you may not like the answer.

I agree that it might be "no big deal" to transport loaded mags. But I'm saying that there is no way he can say definitively that it is a legal thing to do, because there's no definition of loaded, and that Nappen (an attorney who deals with these kinds of cases) says it may be a bad idea because they could construe it to be part of the firearm.

If you carry every day it may slip your mind. It's like wearing underwear. Do you always specifically remember you have it on? Probably not. It just feels "normal."

Diesel generators are expensive which is the first problem. I would prefer having a slow turning 1800rpm diesel genset though.

I shipped the xds fedex. Had to go to the fedex counter in budd lake.

So how do you know which shops take part in this? Not that I have anything to hide but F bloomturd.

10 minutes! Last time I bought a gun it was pretty much instant. Oh but that was not in NJ.

Courts cite case law from other states all the time when it deals with constitutional issues. They cited a number of cases in other states in drake, for example.

Vlad, with all due respect your reasoning, while it may be logical, doesn't really mean anything because you are not a judge in the NJ court system handling a case where this is a question. Again: There is no case law. There is no definition of "loaded" or "a loaded firearm" in NJ. There was no definition of "Justifiable need" either until Siccardi. Several states have different definitions of "loaded." NY says once you have ammo for the gun in the same place it is loaded. Utah says it isn't loaded until there is one in the chamber. So which is it? NJ courts have a reputation for interpreting the laws as written when they lean on the side of being anti gun. NJ's most prominent gun rights attorney says you "may" encounter problems if you have loaded magazines, so exercise caution. With all that in mind, you're really saying that loaded magazines are 100% positively OK? I'm not saying they're not either. All I'm saying is that we do not know and it might be a good idea to err on the side of caution.
