Sure, I have no problem with someone setting off fireworks safely. Problem is that most people don't have a clue and can set fire to their neighbor's house quite easily. I used to be a pyrotechnician and I've seen near disasters at some shows which WOULD have been disasters if it weren't for the fire department being right there supervising and the safety precautions we took such as clearance distance. And oh yeah we used only electronic ignition so you're safely in the bunker while the fireworks go off. But if you can keep the damage to your own property by all means feel free.

When last I called the cops they told me they aren't doing anything about it, and to call my congressman if I want the problem dealt with. WTF?

Christie has always been against gay marriage. He vetoed the last bill the legislature passed. I think he will sign this bill banning 50 cal but if we put pressure on him he may change his mind. There's no doubt that he has national ambitions and he can't ban 50cal if he wants the presidency. He will be nailed to the wall.

So I use the owb paddle holster that the XDS came with at home. With a longish t shirt I used it for concealed carry in public too.

Whaaaat? I missed that.

I would like to thank news 12 for making this one go viral.

No duty to retreat in your own home.

It is but FOPA is treated as an affirmative defense by some jurisdictions. You can still be arrested.

No.

That's really nothing. Moore v Madigan (illinois)took 6 months, almost exactly.

I support any organization that believes that "The right to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed."

Just a form and the prints and $60 app fee. No need for photos. The AZ permit has no photo. Also NRA first steps or NRA basic or a DD214 will satisfy the training requirement.

I don't agree. There should be no exemptions for anyone. Everyone should be able to carry once they pass a background check. And I don't think the process is the same either. Do regular carry permit holders have to pay $100 for their permit per year and qualify TWICE a year? I don't think so.

I was talking about out of state residents.

Lock him away. 20 years minimum.

I predict he will veto most but sign mental health and 50cal ban.

Unless you are a retired LEO carrying under LEOSA.

i think NRA courses will work for the training requirement. The bill said 4 hour course so it sounds like FIRST steps will work.

No go in Mass unless you have a mass permit. Can't get one unless you already have a NJ permit. You can only take a pistol into mass without a license if you're passing through (FOPA) or going to a recognized match or competition. NH doesn't allow concealed carry without a permit and they don't have reciprocity with any nonresident permits. Open carry is OK. So in short, leave your guns at home.

Yeah don't think my lack of interest in AWB type issues means we shouldn't pursue them. I am not a 50cal shooter either but I strongly oppose the ban. In fact I think we should bring back machine guns (full auto) and suppressors/silencers. And of course I am for CCW as well since that is my interest.

Then I guess buyers will have an explainable lawful purpose.

It can be tricky since you want to keep NJ residency for in state tuition. My advice would be to get the Utah permit and wait until you graduate to officially move. For long guns you can buy them in PA. If you are keeping them in PA they don't have to be jersey legal. 30 round pmags, the whole deal. Handguns are a different story.

They actually helped with the SAF suit which is in the 3rd circuit right now (and stickied in the current NJ gun laws section.)

You may be right about some other organizations coughNRAcough but not NJ2AS. I don't think Frank is even paid for his position. And you can tell he wants results. He has definitely put his heart into it. As for the legislature - you have seen what goes on in there right? The system is rigged. Short of a massive shift in power they will still pass this crap. I get the feeling that Bloomberg and others have promised them campaign cash like he did for other people like Kane, the PA AG who is now stripping away CCW reciprocity.
