Being a decendent of a patriot who fought for what he believed, I couldn't have said it better!

I'll second that, been a regular there since joining last October.

Great response and was a pleasure doing business! Looks great and fits like a glove.

Thanks, after hear all the horror stories I feel extremely lucky. This town has been straight up everytime without any hassles or additional forms. The detective I have beed dealing with said they have been processing more than they ever had, and most of the delay is the state doing the background check. I got my change of address back in 07 and that came back in a couple of weeks, my wifes FID and P2P took 6 weeks just before CT, now we are just waiting on my daughters paperwork, her fingerprints were done last week, so we'll see how that goes.

Dropped off my 3 P2P 1/24/2013 and just picked them up today during lunch, 6 weeks to the day! Thank you Wharton PD

Done

Great job Bob and Frank!

Was a pleasure meeting and speaking with Rick yesterday, it was something I always wanted and a very fair deal! Was well worth the trip and "Thank you for your service"!

Great to hear!

Dear State Assemblyman Carroll, I am deeply concerned about attempts to pass new laws aimed at limiting my Second Amendment rights. Focusing on 100 million law-abiding citizens like me, who use firearms -- including modern sporting rifles (MSRs) -- every day for hunting, recreational shooting and home defense, is unproductive and unconstitutional. Lets prosecute those who abuse our existing laws instead. MSRs (so-called assault weapons) continue to be vilified in the press. While they may look like military rifles, they function no differently from any other civilian semi-automatic firearm. Semi-automatic technology has been available for decades and is the operating system for most of the firearms in existence today. They fire only one round with each trigger pull. The design for MSRs, developed in 1957, is the ArmaLite Rifle; the term A/R is its abbreviation it does not stand for assault rifle. A comprehensive 2003 study by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) examined 51 gun-control studies, including the 1994 Assault Weapons Ban (AWB). It was unable to show any crime reduction associated with gun control. Another study, commissioned by Congress, found that bans were not effective in reducing crime because "the banned weapons and magazines were never used in more than a modest fraction of all gun murders." Since the AWB expired in 2004, the nations violent crime rate has continued to drop by 17 percent and is now at its lowest levels since the early 1970s, despite the rising of gun ownership, including MSR's, to an all time high. The vast majority of firearms used in crimes are obtained illegally, via theft or illegal transfer. This is not surprising since criminals don't follow the law, particularly when the laws are not enforced. As your constituent I urge you to make me safer while protecting my constitutional rights. Focus on real crime-control measures such as: * Ensure that all states submit appropriate court data for individuals adjudicated unfit to possess firearms into the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) database. These are not private medical records, but official court documents, therefore they do not infringe on privacy rights, a common but incorrect argument. * Enforce the existing laws already at our disposal, such as: - Use the existing 10 year / $250,000 perjury penalty associated with "Straw Purchasing." Even better, lets make straw purchasing its own offense. - Use existing federal laws to prosecute gun-related crimes, ensuring that criminals don't plead down to lesser offenses. Armed robbery should never become robbery because a busy court docket allowed a plea deal. When Richmond, VA, did this under a program called Project Exile, crime dropped 65 percent. Criminals respond to risk. - Promote education to ensure firearms are safely stored away from unauthorized users. These are simple, noncontroversial, concrete steps we can take today that will not infringe on anyones privacy or constitutional rights. Lets focus on smart, data-driven solutions to get to the root of our crime problems. Here is the email response from Assemblyman Carroll I received today! Let me take the opportunity to thank you for taking the time to call me on the subject of Second Amendment rights. Among the first bills I ever introduced was a proposal to bring NJ into the modern era and permit concealed carry. Naturally, given the present, anti-freedom majority, that bill continues to languish. A noted political extremist once opined, "never let a good crisis go to waste". Whenever some deeply disturbed individual goes on a rampage, the cries go up to restrict the freedom of the 99.999999% of the people who don't abuse their Constitutional rights. While the shootings at Sandy Hook were a horror, not a single one of the new restrictions presently proposed would have had the slightest impact. The massacre is being cynically employed by the enemies of freedom as an excuse to advance their ideological agenda,. Simple logic demonstrates that freedom does not cause any shootings. While it seems obvious that we need to pay greater attention to those with serious mental instabilities, that can be accomplished without imposing upon law abiding citizens. Of course, the advocates of freedom face an administration in DC actively hostile to freedom, a media which simply echoes their talking points, and an often uneducated public. (One poll showed that a majority favored a ban on semi-automatic weapons, although they have no clue what that phrase actually means.) That means that freedom advocates need to patiently explain to an often uneducated public why anti-freedom proposals simply make no sense. I've been doing my best. I appeared on NJTV on this subject; you can find the interview here. http://www.njtvonlin...ll-says-nothing -could-have-prevented-sandy-hook-massacre/. Again, I appreciate your note. Rest assured that I will continue to fight for defend and expand freedom for as long as it is my privilege to serve. Michael Patrick Carroll

I thought that was only JCPD detectives........

Thank you all for the welcome!

Hello all fellow patriots, my name is Steve from Wharton, I'm a 10th generation US citizen and life long Jersey resident, and not new to firearms. I applied for my initial FID card over 30 years ago in Mountain Lakes. I have found that my local PD for FIDs and permits have been very good compared to some of the horror stories I have heard from many others. Since Sandy is when I decided it was time to invest in some 2A hardware being my only item in my posession that has been in my family since new is a Winchester Mod 1903 .22 Auto, that I still have some ammo for since it's no longer commercially available. I'm a member at RTSP after finding them so close to my home, and have been going regularly since joining. I have joined this site the NJ2AS, and the NRA due to what is happening to our society and freedoms, my wife has obtained her FID last year and made her first purchase in January, my yougest daughter of 3 has submitted her paperwork and is about to get her fingerprints done. So that's it in a nutshell, so we'll see what the future brings to our doorstep and deal with it accodingly.

Great letter!
