Sales tax in NJ on regular purchases from Amazon begins July 1.

I'm confused. This isn't in context. What will never happen? MD already lost their appeal. In fact district was a win and the circuit reversed. Cert is pending but is unlikely to be granted.

I like the nappen theory that if you shoot a burglar with hollow points they can charge him with B&E and illegal possession of hollow points.

I would rather shoot my real guns.

Try driving a truck through Ohio, especially with hazmat, specifically explosives. It will make NJ seem like a cake walk.

They are of course blaming PA.

They might face bigger problems with that, as it is much more strict than what is required for LEO who can carry by statute. NJSP requires that you have fewer than 5 violations within 2 years.

We don't know that, and this is what we're trying to find out. This is why the cases are in the circuit courts and ultimately SCOTUS.

The Second Amendment Foundation, ANJRPC and others.

It's not like we have a sticky about it or anything. Listen to the orals. If the courts rule against us you know it's judicial activisim. Unfortunately I think it may boil down to that.

Nobody knows. I would say that there is a slim chance that we do. A bit better chance that we get open carry. But still a very slim chance.

The 3rd circuit and SCOTUS has not ruled on this yet. NJ courts are well known for creative "interpretation" of the laws. Not just gun laws. Live in an Abbott district? Thank the courts.

Jim Quinn from Quinn and Rose this morning said that this story may be fake. I am inclined to think so.

Not legal. Needs a red cap.

Didn't someone get busted for an inert hollow point cartridge on a keychain?

Going into history of the ratification of the 2A it gets interesting. NJ was actually the 1st state to ratify the bill of rights, which includes the 2nd amendment. So it's not like NJ can claim that its state constitution doesn't have RKBA so they can simply ignore the 2nd amendment.

How does that work with the 10th amendment though? If it's in the state constitution, it doesn't mean that it supercedes the Federal one. Also, NJ is simply silent on RKBA. It doesn't specifically prohibit RKBA. I do think we will lose but not for that reason. I think we will lose because the LBJ appointee and the Obama appointee on the 3 judge panel will pull out some reason out of their butts to justify denying our rights.

They had petitions in gun shops. Can we do that here? I don't know. FFLs are afraid of the state's boot on their throat being squeezed even harder. I would really like to see some of those bums recalled. I would like to see some of ours recalled too but I doubt that's going to happen. Too many people here with something to gain from the state to bite the hand that feeds them.

Lisa Madigan got a 30 day extension of the deadline from the courts. Man, they are really dragging this one out. http://wuisnews.wordpress.com/2013/06/04/illinois-receives-concealed-carry-deadline-extension/

Well, that would work except that only ~600 people a year get carry permits, compared to how many in neighboring states like PA, DE, CT, or even NY.

The Heller decision was that the 2A was an individual right. So the militia isn't really at issue here. The circuit courts have upheld discretionary issue in most cases. Maryland was upheld because you could carry long guns in public without a permit. New York was upheld because their law existed before the 2A. Illinois was of course struck down because they had an outright ban. They are getting CCW. NJ will be upheld/struck down because...?

No problem as long as they can get a phone call or receive mail.

It is indeed the law and it's because they engage in interstate commerce. http://uscode.house.gov/download/pls/15C85.txt (a) In general If an armored car crew member employed by an armored car company - (1) has in effect a license issued by the appropriate State agency (in the State in which such member is primarily employed by such company) to carry a weapon while acting in the services of such company in that State, and such State agency meets the minimum requirements under subsection (b) of this section; and (2) has met all other applicable requirements to act as an armored car crew member in the State in which such member is primarily employed by such company, then such crew member shall be entitled to lawfully carry any weapon to which such license relates and function as an armored car crew member in any State while such member is acting in the service of such company.

Doomsday preppers showed a few of them.

He does that he is DONE.
