I use carpet door mats as a work surface whenever I'm disassembling anything with small parts. Screws and springs don't bounce away on carpet and it keeps everything clean in my dirty, dusty shop.

That's the plan. When middle aged white women clutch their pearls and cry out about "those" dangerous people with guns they aren't thinking about their neighbors in the suburbs. Those middle age white women are thinking about the people who don't look like them and are more likely to live in lower income neighborhoods. It's about keeping guns away from "those people" more than it is about keeping guns away from "people".

The real story: NJ's smart gun bill was written so that NJ residents could only purchase smart guns as soon as one hit the market. There was a manufacturer who announced that they were about to release a smart gun to the market. That manufacturer (can't remember their name) was flooded with phone calls including lots of threats to burn the place down and kill people. Apparently the threats were so overwhelming that the legislation was re-written. I'm sure it was discussed here at the time and there are probably a dozen old threads about what happened - as it was happening.

I have the Taurus Judge, 45LC/.40 revolver. Spread with shot shell is about 1" per foot of distance. It's a lot of spread but less than I had expected when I bought it. Since the gun being discussed here has a much longer barrel than my 3" revolver, I suspect the spread would be quite a bit less.

When I was posted, I was thinking someone has the name of the trooper handling firearms in Totowa. You can call the barracks and ask for that trooper and get an appointment. Each barracks has it's own phone number.

Which Station? Somebody here will have the contact info for the trooper at that station that handles PTC applications.

Back when the "oil filter" silencers were all over facebook marketplace, I was very suspicious. Facebook puts a lot of effort into keeping guns and gun stuff off their pages. Seemed odd to me that they were overrun with ads for mail order silencers for months and nobody noticed. Then there were a few youtube videos of guys who got ATF visits after ordering the oil filters or guys who had them shipped to their homes and claim they never placed such an order. Now there's this: Two different ads in about 2 minutes. What do you think?

Since the TRO and the Law don't mention the official title of any parks or types of parks, I'm going with legal.

According to the Siegel TRO, we can now carry in a " parks, beaches, and recreational facilities/areas". I would consider a wildlife management area to be a recreational facility/area. But wondered if this has specifically been addressed anywhere. Lots of State Parks are functionally identical to WMA's but State Parks include the word "Park" so it's obvious they are included. But it just takes one bad conservation officer, one bad prosecutor, one bad judge, and one bad jury for carrying in a WMA to get you in trouble. I'd like confirmation.

So men really are better at everything - even being a woman. Biden 2024!

Not a lawyer but.... The section above is from section a. The section I attached and that 124gr9mm posted starts with "Notwithstanding the provisions of subsections a. and b". Notwithstanding means "in spite of". So... In spite of the restrictions in A and B, you are still allowed to do the stuff in C even if the stuff in C seems to contradict A and B.

The answer is in the law. See attachment. Starting on page 26, line 38 through page 27, line 13. This section of the law was not blocked by the TRO and is still in effect. final-nj-anti-carry-law-passed-12-22-22.PDF

Email from NJSP to a police officer in another state.

But I'm looking for more than just reciprocity. Can I carry in a restaurant that has less than 50% of it's revenue from alcohol sales? On a playground? Those quirky details of each states laws is what I'm looking for. If I can carry in a particular state, I still need to know where I can and can't carry there.

So, what's the best cell phone app to keep us legal in all 50 states? I have 4 carry permits from 4 different states and I know which states I can carry in. I don't always know what the rules are for each state. Theaters? Restaurants that serve alcohol? Museums? State Parks? Duty to inform? Etc. What app makes it really easy to brush up on each states rules as soon as you cross the border?

205 days and I picked it up today. NJSP took almost 5 months to get it to the courts. The courts had it when NJ's new law was passed removing the courts from the process - but continued with issuing the permits they had anyway. It was then sent back to NJSP where it only sat for 3 weeks. I expected it to be there for months. No restrictions. Applied for my PA permit in Delco Co. this evening. I bet that will go a little faster.

OP here. Mine was approved by the judge 2/9 (by the way, my application date was 8/6 - I go through NJSP). It was sent back to NJSP on 2/10 so they could give it to me and I'm still waiting. Day 204 - nothing yet. Most of that wait was NJSP sitting on it.

Taking it off the menu for most of the year is smart. I've been lulled in by this trickery. I see an ad and it looks good. I like ribs. So I'm driving past a McDonalds and I pull in to try one. And as soon as I have my first bite I'm reminded that it tastes like it's made with earlobe meat. They've gotten me more than once.

Innocent until proven guilty. And...I think felons should get their rights back after they've completed there sentences. But I'm okay if revocation of certain rights is part of that sentence. But once they are free and clear of whatever sentence they receive, rights should be restored. However, in my ideal world, if they can't be trusted to have their rights restored, they shouldn't be getting out until they can.

Really interesting idea. I think I'd prefer magnets instead though. I can tear open magnets easier than snaps.

Pocket Carry. I do it all the time. The only inconvenience is that I have to remember to put my car keys in the other front pocket.

I own about a dozen handguns. I've got some big and stupid ones like the Taurus Judge, some silly tiny ones like the NAA 22S. I have several .22s - both revolvers and semi autos. I have a couple of carry guns in .380 that I like. I have a few others that serve different purposes. What I don't own is a gun that's just really good at just hitting a target. I qualified for my ccw (still waiting) with a subcompact .380, so I can hit a target with a gun that isn't an ideal target gun but I want a gun that's easy to shoot, gets me back on target quickly, and is a dedicated target gun. I'm finally old enough that I don't feel any need to impress anyone with my superior fire power so .380 is enough for me but 9mm is fine too. I want full size but not especially large. I have a Beretta 92FS. I really love that gun but it's a bit too big for my hands. If it came in a single stack to get the grip width down a little, it would be exactly the gun I'm looking for. So...what's your favorite full size, easy to shoot, nothing fancy, always hits the target handgun?

Called the court today. My permit is in the stack that the court is processing and she estimated that m9y completed permit will be sent to NJSP in about 2 weeks. She also warned me (but I already knew) that she sends it to Trenton where it will languish for weeks or months before being sent to my local barracks for pickup.

Maybe that's right. The directive is here: https://www.njcourts.gov/sites/default/files/notices/2022/12/n221222a.pdf Part reads: Any applications for a permit to carry a handgun currently pending before the Superior Court as of today are to be decided and, if approved, issued by the court. The new law allows judges to rely on the prior approval by law enforcement as the basis for approving these pending applications. L. 2022, c. __. Judges must strive to act on those pending applications within 60 days and should not exceed that 60-day time frame without good cause. Any applications pending with law enforcement are to be decided by the appropriate chief police officer or superintendent. Effective today, any permit to carry application presented to the court will be returned to the law enforcement entity from which it was received. so, if the court has my application but I don't have a hearing yet, am I "pending" or not pending before the courts? I guess I'll call the court tomorrow and see what the status is.

I'm sure this has been discussed and answered here before. So I apologize in advance for not seeing the discussion. But... My permit was approved by NJSP and sent to the courts. The new law was passed after the NJSP approval but before I received a hearing with the court. I saw the directive from the courts (and to the courts) to send all unprocessed applications back to the PD's. I assume my permit was sent back to NJSP and they now have it. What happens now? NJSP far exceeded the statutory 60 days to approve under the old law - the law that was in effect when my permit reached 60 days. So, under the law in effect at the time, I received NJSP approval at the 60 day mark. Two months later, they actually sent it to the courts. The old law was also still in effect when they sent it to the courts. It seems to me that my application doesn't need to comply with the new law - since I was already approved by the PD under the old law. And, they should just print my permit and call me to pick it up. I'm guessing they will make this as difficult as possible and I'll have to start the whole process over again. I haven't received any information about my next steps. Anyone know what I'm supposed to do now?
