Very nice!

By the way I heard this bill stalled: http://www.nj.com/politics/index.ssf/2013/06/nj_bill_to_grant_in-state_tuition_for_students_in_the_country_illegally_stalls.html Yay!!!

http://nj2as.com is the website. nj2as.org is a redirect.

One win was getting towns to comply with state law with regards to application procedures for FID cards. A lot of towns had (and some still have) extra forms and requirements which are illegal. NJ2AS was directly responsible for getting rid of a lot of those, making it easier to apply for FIDs and handgun purchase permits. Another win is the NICS checks. NICS was sliding down the crapper and NJ2AS did a campaign to fix it. It is not clear whether NJ2AS was solely responsible but the state police began communicating directly with members who had tweeted them about the NICS checks when it was fixed. So it does seem that NJ2AS helped a lot in this regard.

Well I actually think carry (open or concealed) is most important because NJ laws as written prohibit possession of all loaded firearms EXCEPT <home|place of business|gunsmith|range>. And yeah I do carry out of state but it sucks balls to have to put the thing in a case in the trunk and then take it out at my destination, hoping I don't meet up a NJ trooper who doesn't know the law and decides to lock me up to err on the side of caution. Likewise I will say that assault weapon issues are very much on the back burner for me except for magazine limits. The current FID card system works for me to be honest. Maybe make the card plastic with a photo, but then again you can go one step further and make it a carry permit, like Connecticut and other states do. (CT has a pistol permit which is required to purchase and carry). There are things that can be done on the back end to decrease the bureaucracy and speed up issuance. One benefit of carry permits if done right like in other states is to exempt permit holders from the NICS check.

In that case you don't confront him. You call the cops. The only exception would be if your family members were inside the house.

I agree with keeping it concealed.

Sling shots are not legal unless you have an explainable lawful purpose.

It's for pepper spray that is carried/used within NY.

They don't have to live in NJ. Your PD probably wants them to be but there is no state law which requires them to be. They must just be able to receive phone calls and US mail.

Clock safes are great for this. In fact if you put them high enough they are good for homes with kids too. A friend of mine has several guns planted all over his house and you would never know where they are. He knows where they are though and no one coming to his home uninvited would have a chance. He also has a NY carry permit.

He would likely be in Morris... Which also covers sussex. That would have been NICE.

I wouldn't shoot in the leg. If you're going nonlethal just use pepper spray. I would shoot to kill. FMJ is for the range. Hollow points are what are loaded at home. Safer round and more stopping power.

I have no idea what I will do. We have glass door on the deck and a steel door in the front. The other entry is through the garage which has steel doors. First floor windows might work but we have sticker bushes below them. The way our house is situated we can see someone long before they pull up. The only way someone can mount a surprise attack is to come through the woods. So I have time to prepare. I already home carry but I am thinking of getting some pepper spray as well.

Wait a minute, so if a homicide happens in someone's home, the police department pays to clean it up?

I think our only remedy will be SCOTUS or court of appeals. Or we could get a complete upheaval like Wisconsin who was the last before Illinois to pass some form of carry (and they are shall issue).

My friend who is a retired LEO and now a magistrate in Virginia always has at least a mouse gun or a snubbie on him. Now I understand why. I'm not taking chances anymore. This could easily have been my home.

I think Justifiable need is clearly defined but it is a tough standard that it is impossible to meet.

There's business carry but it is hard to obtain. Oddly enough a lot of rich people who live in NJ and other states have BC licenses because they can't get SC licenses as nonresidents. SC is what Trump and Anthony Cumia have. It's basically an endorsement to your NYS license.

I am curious about the mcbethr theory. Can any FFLs confirm whether they've had an uptick in store traffic that fits the profile?

You work in security or something?

I am making home carry the rule when at home now. I used to do it now and again but now it's a commitment. That millburn HI really shook me up.

I wish them luck and I hope their members consider joining NJ2AS or another fine organization.

Nappen lives up there now. I don't blame you.

I carry at home except when the kids and I are playing rough. Don't want a ND.
