I can believe people act like this. These people vote too which is why we are in trouble big time.
-
I don't know what this "our turn" is as I'm neither white nor black.

Awesome! It's on my list if I could ever afford it (and live in a place where I could own it)

Honestly if Government broke down, cash would be the last thing on my mind. At that point I would be prepared to produce my own food and other essentials. One of the good things we have is a stream on the property so I can harness that for energy generation (micro hydro) or fresh water if the well is unable to produce.
-
Sort of. If you live where I do that does not apply because our area isn't as densely populated and is in fact quite rural. After Sandy while those down below were lining up for gas in miles long lines but we had no such problems. Not necessarily the gas stations in town but further beyond. But if you live away from the city you are kind of already prepared anyway. We can do without the grid for a while. With a lot of property you can also fend off intruders because you see them coming from a long distance away.

I have a 6500 watt honda inverter. Part of my prepped plan is to also get a small harbor freight generator as a backup. It's cheap and disposable. Or I may get a cheap diesel generator. Reason being that a diesel can run on biodiesel such as waste oil. Diesel also doesn't go bad quickly. Also looking at a cheap solar panel or two. Coupled with a battery and inverter it can power small things. I have a 12 volt chest fridge that I can run on solar. I can also power my ham radios.

You talking about dirty, lol... home of michael vick.

I hear you brother. But we chose a different approach. We installed a 1000 watt inverter in the van, so we can run the nebulizer if we need to on road trips. As a bonus we can also power a microwave so we can bring our own food. I am on the safety/fire team at work so I get free CPR and other training too.

It's confusing the way it is worded.

It looks like Concealed carry did prevent this from turning into a large mass shooting. 3 people dead so it barely qualifies as one, but sandy hook or columbine it is not.

I don't doomsday prep but I am always prepared. We have: Wood stove and firewood. Generator with adequate fuel. Next step is to get a propane carb conversion so I'm not at the mercy of gas stations. I'm also going to get a few solar panels I can use to run small things. Plenty of dry rice, dry beans and canned stuff. Water well with a hand pump that can be readily installed. Ham radios and antennas. Guns and ammo.

I get what Shawn is saying but I would never condone a shooting like this. Believe me, as a property owner of a decent amount of property I have watched town meetings with interest. It gets ugly. The last thing anyone would want is to have what they worked for their whole life or had in their family for generations just yanked away at the stroke of a pen. We had a large town meeting when it was found out that Route "A" of the Susquehanna-Roseland powerline project was passing through town. The farmers and other land owners quite literally came with their torches and pitchforks to a large meeting in the firehouse. It was pretty damned angry, and the worst were the smirking bureaucrats who really didn't seem like they gave a flying flip about us. And really, the whole idea of requiring a permit to do things to your own damn property irks me to no end.
-
The judge made up a lot of stuff, including that you can't transport hollow points between properties you own. In any case, for most of us it's moot. NJ LEO can use hollow points and the rest of us can't carry anyway. Only the 900 or so people who have carry permits will be affected by this.
-
I am really liking that this issue is getting talked up. I hope it will reach critical mass, but I'm not holding my breath. But the stockholm syndrome in NJ needs to end. More people need to be less afraid of the state. "That's the way it's always been, it's not gonna change" attitude needs to go away.
-
I believe Gura or Scott Bach was saying that they'd do it. En banc and then scotus. The Pantano case should play into this as well, hopefully we push this at SCOTUS.
-
Gura makes good arguments. He's very intelligent. I hope he doesn't get too discouraged by the recent losses.

I am donating when I get paid this week. I really want to send this fool (Sweeney) packing. I'm sure some people will vote for him because he's a union guy. Well, just take one for the team for once. There is no shortage of pro union candidates in NJ anyway.

I get tickets to the corp suite at times for company outings. That's about the only time I go, to hang out with my coworkers.

There was someone who posted an image of one here but it was a restricted permit. What I want to know is why judges hate giving them out. Is it that they don't want to be liable? Don't like guns? Power trip? Nudge from politicians? In New York there are judges who grant permits with little resistance. A friend of mine is a landscaper and he got a permit from a judge in Orange County NY. He doesnt carry a lot of cash. Just a lawn care guy. Easy peasy. If I lived there I could get one I was told. But in NJ that wouldn't happen. Even a guy like Daniel PiszcAtoski who worked for the FBI got threats from Islamists was denied. I don't get it. Or maybe I do. But I would like to find out what you guys think.

NJSP firearms unit is the authority on firearms in the state. At the very least they are an expert witness. The law says hollow nosed bullet. Yes the judge can make shit up but they can do that for anything. But since NJSP defined what it is, I would trust this over some assumption.
-
Could be argued for anything to be honest. And nowhere I am legally allowed to possess a handgun am I disallowed from using hollow points anyway so the point is moot.
-
The law doesn't say "full metal jacket." It only says that hollow nose ammo is banned. If the nose is plugged it's not hollow anymore. The state police firearms unit seems to agree.
