DAMN this place is addictive! Thanks for the Welcomes.

+3 This needs to be a demonstration of support for the Second Amendment. The press already portrays us poorly, let's not give them fuel for their fire.

Did this get extended? CHAPTER EXPIRATION DATE: Chapter 54, Firearms and Weapons, expires on November 13, 2012.

I didn't mean to imply that she doesn't have her "own" weapon, it just happens that I bought it. Years ago, when I got back into shooting, I took her to the range, started her off with Ruger Mark II and moved her up to a Sig 220 in .380, which is now "hers". She has a good eye and was grouping as good as I was by the end of our first session. My "go to" gun is a Glock 19, which she can handle if she needs to, but she is much more comfortable with "hers".

UPDATE: Talked to my friend again this morning. He tells me that sources that he considers reputable have told him that if his wife were to use a home defense weapon in his absence, in their home, that she could be charged with unlawful possession and use of a firearm. Sounds a little crazy to me. Thoughts?

Like probably most of the members, I have home defense weapons readily available to my wife and myself if needed. All the weapons were purchased correctly in accordance with the current NJ statutes. A friend recently received his FID and permits to purchase two pistols, which he accomplished. He then went back to get additional purchase permits and had his wife accompany him to obtain an FID. His reason was that he "Wanted to cover all bases." My question is, since all of the statutes seem to be geared to purchases only, is there any reason that I should have my wife apply for a FID? It should be noted that she would not transport a firearm out of the house without me being present.

Maybe we can all meet on the bus from the Bullet Hole next Friday?

Thank You, all. My other "retirement" activities are Auto related. And if you can get by the "girls car" thing, we have a pretty extensive gun thread going on a forum I moderate. Check out Samnavy's posts in particular. http://www.miataturb...171/#post973091 http://www.miataturbo.net/current-events-news-politics-77/gun-rights-should-you-allowed-own-rpg-67649/page23/#post972007

I found this site while looking for information on Senator Buono after seeing she may oppose Governor Christie next time around. I am, as the screen name indicates, an older guy (71). I look back fondly on my younger years in NJ when we never had second thoughts about taking our guns to school during hunting season and then hunting in the afternoon, or working on them in shop at any time during the year. I didn't do any shooting after leaving the Army in '63 to support and raise a family, but as the kids grew up and left and work got lighter around 2000, I got back into it. I shoot at Cherry Ridge and have taken other friends there to introduce them to the sport. I don't get there nearly enough. This latest round of gun control advocates and political hacks has spurred me to get more involved in organizations other than the NRA where I am a life member. I have made some enemies on facebook, but may have also swayed some to our side. I am proud to be a member of this forum.
