BS! I got my permits from NJSP 3 months ago in 42 days! I ended up doing an extension a couple of weeks ago that went to Trenton and back and in my hands in 10 days. All barracks use the same Trenton and my Trenton turns things around pretty fast. The trooper I deal with even called Trenton for me once when the delays were long to find out who's desk I was on and how far down in the pile. They have the option to be polite and helpful.

My philosophy has changed drastically over the last couple of years. In all situations I am now done playing nice where the government is concerned. Right to the chief, mayor, or show up at the monthly town counsel meeting and voice your concerns. Name names and write letters to the editor. They work for you and need to be reminded. I'm not suggesting that you start out as a jerk. Play nice as long as they play nice but as soon as anyone who is under your employ forgets that they are, go for the jugular. There are towns, PDs, and a few agencies that remember that they are there to serve the people and treat the public with respect and try to provide good service. I am fortunate to live in an area where that is the norm. But when that is not the situation - take em down!

NJ2AS was very clear that they were not interested in right to carry. They thought it made more sense to go after P2P delays. After a near mutiny of members at a monthly meeting, they came out with project clasp but never really promoted it and ultimately let it die a natural death. I think there is some momentum to make this happen now but it would need to be championed by someone and there isn't a someone to do it. -Ryan

I posted this before but Bridgeton Barracks was 42 days last time and the trooper handling firearms always calls back and has real answers about where the permits are in the process. There is no reason it takes 5 months now that the rush is over and the attitude is unacceptable. I'd call the station commander. The NJSP doesn't want the reputation as being uncooperative with citizens. I think a call to the station commander will get this resolved.

I have a Taurus revolver. The finish is not as fine as a S&W but there are no gaps between parts, no surface imperfections that I could point to. I've shot several hundred rounds with no issues. I drive a Chevy truck. There are those that think I should drive a Lexus. I'm happy with my truck.

The 3rd circuit court that serves NJ ruled last summer that NJ's permiting scheme (It called it that) is perfectly legal.

Which is probably why the NJ Supreme Court decided ultimately not to hear Pantano. They know that under the new precedent, they would have to rule that NJ's laws are unconstitutional. I don't know but the ruling says: "In light of Heller, McDonald, and their progeny, there is no longer any basis on which this Court can conclude that the District of Columbia's total ban on the public carrying of ready-to-use handguns outside the home is constitutional under any level of scrutiny." It seems that if you are allowed to carry a ready to use handgun, you must be allowed to carry one with ammunition in it. Almost none. During the Drake case, the NJ AG had statistics that the state approves 95% (I'm probably off by a percent or two) of applicants. That means that if there are 600 permits issued each year (also from the AG's statistics) thee are only 30 applicants that are denied.

This is DC's district court. The ruling does not apply to NJ, although the more federal courts that rule this way, the better. The 3rd circuit court that serves NJ has already ruled that NJ's laws are constitutional. One key difference in the cases is that NJ testified that it did issue permits to almost everyone who applied and was therefore shall issue - of course nobody ever applies. While DC never disputed the fact that they never issue permits.

Shannon Watts: Pretend stay at home mom who started the grass roots organization Moms Demand Action to stop right to carry. Turns out she's really the ex-PR director of Monsanto recruited by Bloomberg to be the face of this "grass roots" organization that he's bankrolled to the tune of $50 million.

I realize this is old news since the decision came out over an hour ago. I was waiting for someone else to post this but I don't' see it. The ban on carry in DC has been overturned and DC has been ordered by the judge not to enforce two provisions of DC law. One makes it illegal to carry a handgun outside the home, the other only lets you register (own) a handgun for the purpose of self protection inside the home. The decision also specifically applies to non-residents of DC - that's us. The order not to enforce is in place until DC comes up with a constitutional licensing program. I'm sure there will be scrambling on Monday morning to write something. If I'm reading that right, open and concealed carry are legal in DC starting an hour ago for residents and non residents without a permit. Check with your lawyer and don't take my word for it. you can read the decision on Palmer v. DC here: https://ecf.dcd.uscourts.gov/cgi-bin/show_public_doc?2009cv1482-51

The officer must follow the law. The highest law of the land says she can carry. Some of us couldn't be police officers because it would have required us to compromise our integrity and beliefs. I have to assume that anyone who does a particular job is morally comfortable with the job they do.

That was it. Thank you.

I am pretty sure this law changed in 2013 so that the names of carry permit holders is now officially a secret list. I've been searching the NJSA for this new law and can't find it. Can anybody confirm that it did in fact pass and can somebody point me to the new law? thanks.

I have a question. If I purchase a product online from a seller in Mississippi: Does the transaction happen in NJ or in Mississippi? If the transaction happens in Mississippi, the transfer happened there so it seems that it should be legal to have the pellet rifle shipped to me since no transfer happens in NJ. If the transaction happens in NJ, the transfer happened here and that's illegal.

I've bought dozens of mini splits. I've installed several myself and had many installed by others - including Mitsubishi. I like Mitsubishi the best. Sanyo makes some really nice ones but the controls are not easy to program in english. Fujitsu units are also good but I've had more repairs on the Fujitsu's than I have on the Mitusbishi's.

google electrolysis using "washing soda". It's easy to do with just a tub of water, washing soda from Walmart, and a car battery charger. It will clean up that barrel in a few hours and get rid of every little bit of rust. After you do that, rub on a fine coat of oil and you'll be good to go. It will still have that old gun patina but it won't look rusty at all. I did an old shotgun this way and was amazed how easy it was and how it turned an old rusty gun into a very sharp looking antique. I used a 3' long plastic window sill planter from home depot as the tank to dip the barrel and receiver. Lots of websites explain the process. Make it this weekend's project and Dad's gun will look great by Monday.

I bought an antique Savage Arms 14-1/2" little scout. It's probably 80 years old and it's a rolling block, single shot rifle. Very small and no external moving parts except the rolling block. It was sold as a boys gun when new and will probably fit a small 8 year old well. It weighs almost nothing which is a big plus over a heavy semi auto. I found mine at a gun show and paid under $100, I've seen them on gun broker several times since then. I know it's odd to recommend an 80 year old gun but they're available cheap and it seems like the perfect solution to your problem.

Stopped in Dicks in Millville over lunch. All they had was 40ct. boxes of American Eagle, limit 2 boxes per day. I didn't even know they made 40 round boxes. Woo Hoo, 80 rounds. At least the price was good. Last week they had gotten a shipment of CCI minimags 100ct. I bought the limit of 3 boxes at $10 per box. I guess I've finally accepted $10cents/round as the new normal. Just bought a browning buckmark .22 for my 14 year old daughter to shoot. I thought I was well stocked until she discovered she liked shooting so much.

Eventually, the supply should increase to meet the demand. It seems odd to me that it's been almost 2 years and nobody's expanded or built a factory. If it was possible to make a living selling .22 at $.03 a round 2 years ago, you'd think somebody would have jumped on the opportunity to manufacture the same for $.10 a round.

It works now for me.

Real small babies don't usually spray. A few weeks old, they misfire all the time. Young skunks are worse than full grown skunks. Full grown skunks warn you before they spray. I unfortunately have lots of experience with skunks. I can't see your window well so it makes it hard to know the answer but a skunk will take shelter if it can find it. If you have room to lower a cardboard box with a hole cut in one side, it will eventually go inside. Pull the box up and move it wherever you want.

Our church would never hold a gun buyback unless it was just the deacons and pastor trying to get some good deals.

+1000 for Midwest. Excellent research, excellent analysis. Now we just need a court to consider it. It seems like when the facts are clearly in our favor, they just make something up.

A bobcat's a hard way to level a driveway. A box blade on the back of a tractor is easier. A grader with a belly blade is the best. You need some fines, small particles, to bind everything together. I start with crushed concrete. It's got fines and small chunks. Once that's leveled and compacted, crushed stone goes on top. The bigger the stone,the more "staying power" it has but driving on 3" crushed stone feels like you're off-roading. 2" and smaller stone works. The crushed stone gets worked down into the concrete particles and concrete dust over time and it becomes very stable.
