I prefer concealed carry too. But a state that allows either is certainly more carry friendly than one that restricts certain types of carry.

You're opposed to the federal government violating states rights but perfectly comfortable with our state government violating people's rights? I'm assuming of course that you believe the 2nd amendment guaranteed an individual right but I may be wrong. Maybe that's where I'm so confused about the conversation here. It seems obvious to me that there is an individual right to keep (own) and bear (carry) firearms and that NJ violates that important, constitutionally guaranteed civil right. So for me, when some guy gets charged for exercising a civil right, I blame the State. I'm still trying to understand those who blame the man. But that kind of thinking - that the government knows best and that rights are revokable - is the norm in NJ. I simply do not think that way and I can't stand it any more. This is why I'm out of here.

Let's pretend that Georgia has a "No Jews Allowed" law and being Jewish is a felony. Some Jewish guy from Florida drives into Atlanta. How many here would say he should go to prison for not knowing the law in Georgia? Let's check the similarities: State violates constitutionally enumerated civil right. Guy from another state knowingly or unknowingly exercises that right. Guy goes to prison. I'd like everyone who said this guy deserves what he gets to explain the difference to me.

We are our own worst enemy. No wonder NJ's gun laws just keep getting worse. We've been oppressed for so long that we have started to believe it's okay, we like it this way. It's comfortable now. A guy from the rest of America comes to the most unconstitutionally oppressive state in the nation - where this constitutionally guaranteed civil right is absolutely denied. I'd be disgusted if half the gun owners in NJ said it's his own fault - NJ's laws are okay and he should have known to follow them. I'm enraged that half the NJ gun owners who are involved in gun culture enough to be active members here feel that way. This is why I have decided that I'm not fighting any more and we've decided to move instead. No more rally's. No more recalls. No more trips to Trenton. No more phone calls or emails. No more letters to the editor. No more OPRA requests. No more public comments on changes to the Administrative Code. I'm done fighting for the rights of other gun owners who like it better this way. I'm done fighting for gun owners who fight against those of us who want change things. I don't understand the mindset but it's clear that the majority of gun owners in NJ prefer our system just the way it is. Every time someone here posts an idea for getting things changed, everyone else pounces - scared of upsetting the NJSP or our oppressors in the legislature. I've come to believe that NJ's gun owners believe it's just better this way. It's better to just to keep our heads down and try not to be noticed. Maybe if we're nice to them they don't pass more laws against us. don't start trouble. Rape is eminent, relax and enjoy it. Hopefully this guy does a nice long prison sentence. He deserves it. NJ's gun laws are perfect just the way they are.

B.S. That's not NJ law. The State Police are getting bolder in their campaign of mis-information about NJ gun laws. They're intentionally trying to make them even more strict than they actually are. I wonder how long it will be before the courts start to use the NJSP version instead of the actual law We already have a federal law that should cover this. Passed in 1781 and still on the books.

Like all liberal plans, this will have the opposite of it's stated intent. As soon as gun owners are required to have insurance, the NRA will offer free insurance with a $35 membership. This increases the NRA's membership from 5 million to 100 million people. Not only is that more revenue for the fight, it's 95 million gun owners who haven't cared enough to be involved who will at least start receiving emails keeping them informed of the issues.

There's more to it. I'm not sure what her step 2, and 3 are but I am certain that she's not trying to mandate their sale for it's own sake. There is some greater plan and this somehow gets her closer to being able to confiscate, confiscate, confiscate. Hopefully she'll talk this up a lot more and we can start to fill in the blanks.

At my local barracks, one trooper is assigned to handle these forms. I call the dispatch desk and ask for him by name. He looks up the file and tells me who has it, where it is, and when it got there. The last time I did permits took 42 days. I'd call - what are they gonna do - delay your application?

I think the issue with Troy was that they hired one of the Ruby Ridge snipers. A lot of people were upset at that.

Curious why you don't like the term.

I also received a phone call from NJSP on a question I had submitted in the same way. My question was about whether denial of a carry permit would effect future FID or P2P applications. I assumed the phone call was to ensure that there was no record of the answer I received. Keep in mind, the answer on how the state is interpreting the law should come from the NJAG. It's probably being fielded by the NJSP so they can avoid giving an "official" answer that might come back to bite them later. They can just say that that officer wasn't authorized to give legal advice.

And the fact that even our state police are making up laws that don't exist on their firearms mis-information page.

Nope. That is not NJ law. NJ law says: 2C:39-6(g) "All weapons being transported under paragraph (2) of subsection b., subsection e., or paragraph (1) or (3) of subsection f. of this section shall be carried unloaded and contained in a closed and fastened case, gunbox, securely tied package, or locked in the trunk of the automobile in which it is being transported, and in the course of travel shall include only such deviations as are reasonably necessary under the circumstances.” NJ law says: "unloaded", not "separate from ammo" (common misconception) in a closed and fastened case OR locked in trunk. Locking it in the trunk or putting it in a locked box is not required. It's FOPA that says "separate from ammunition" and "locked". That applies if you're traveling through a state. NJ law applies when transporting within the state.

That reporter was probably talked too after the report. He violated policy and broadcast the truth.

Another vote for Joseph Fazzio's in Cross Keys. Forget Home Depot. Steel at HD is 5x or more the cost at Fazzio's. They'll sell full lengths (20' or 22') or will cut what you want. They can also shear, punch, plazma cut, brake, etc. to make whatever you want. I fax a sketch to them with dimensions, they fax it back with a price written on it. I write "approved, please call when complete" and I get a call a couple of days later to pick up my stuff. The hardware store is worth the visit too - industrial stuff you won't find anywhere else. Surplus equipment and tools are also cool. Disney World for manly men.

The only problem with welders gloves is that the heat eventually gets through the heavy leather. They'll insulate very well for several seconds but if you're handling something hot for much longer, the leather touching your hand gets hot. You can drop the hot item but the glove is still hot. I've tossed gloves from my hands several times when I held something hot for too long.

My eye doctor did it a little differently. He wrote me a prescription for BOTH lenses focused on the front sight. I asked for them this way. I never considered different eyes focused at different distances.

NJSP will renew but you have to have it done before the initial 90 days are up. Some PD's will not renew at all. Some PD's will renew after it expires. completely arbitrary and capricious application of the law from town to town.

Guns are just a part of life for us. My kids saw me with them from when they were very young. They were always locked up or trigger locked but as soon as they could understand "don't touch that", they learned "don't touch that." My daughter first shoot a bb gun with me when she was 4. It was treated as a "real" firearm and she held it with dad. She was a pretty good shot and she enjoyed it. She slowly moved up to bigger things. She's turning 16 this month and shoots a lot when the weather is good. She has "her" .22 handgun which she and I went shopping for together. It's locked up in my safe but whenever she wants to shoot, I'll get it for her. She's been shooting for 12 years and knows all the safety rules, can clear a jamb, knows what to do with a FTF. I let her shoot on her own in the back yard as long as I'm home - in case she needs me. My son's ability to pay attention wasn't as developed at 4. He first shot with me when he was 6. He's 8 now and has shot a few of my smaller guns with me helping to hold it. I've just started to let him hold them alone - with me inches away. I think girls are able to pay attention to details and focus on a task better than boys.

I've got so many gun stickers on my truck I would expect to be pulled over once in a while just for having the decals obstruct my vision. I never get pulled over.

Never try to sway a liberal to the truth. It wastes your time and annoys the liberal.

If I was just getting through the winter, I'd slop the boot up with some roofing cement and walk away. You may be opening a can of worms trying to get the boot properly flashed under the old brittle shingles and you'll never match the color with new shingles. If you find that you have a crack that's too big to just patch with roof cement, they make fabric tapes for spanning small cracks. Apply a little cement, press the mesh fabric into the stuff and smooth it with your disposable tar-sloppin' tool.

In your house, the neutral is bonded to the ground inside the breaker panel. If you have a setup with a main panel and subpanels that are fed from the main, only they should be bonded only in the main panel. The bonding is done by installing the neutral bus bar directly to the panel without insulators.

different PDs have different rules. Law says that they can require fingerprinting again but not that they have too. The application is completely arbitrary. Some PDs require new prints every time you apply for a permit. Some only if you are doing a change of address. Some require it after an arbitrary number of years. I applied for a change of address 20+ years after my initial FID and NJSP did not require fingerprints.
