http://www.state.nj.us/treasury/taxation/su_over.shtml you need to fill out a form NJ REG to apply for a sales tax certificate. You will then be required to collect sales tax on sales and pay that sales tax to the state either monthly or quarterly depending on how much sales tax you collect. All payments must be done electronically and if your records are kept well takes about 10 minutes each quarter once you figure out the form. As a side note: When setting up your books, keep in mind that you'll need to keep separate categories for taxable sales, non taxable sales, and sales tax collected. Our first year, we weren't very tax savvy and kept our books in a way that made sense for us. When printing reports for taxes at the end of the year, nothing worked right since we weren't using the same categories that the tax man uses. That required a major re-do for a year's worth of records.

You can't transport to a place that isn't your residence and you can't carry them when you're there. But If you can figure out a way to get them there without transporting them and you don't touch them while they're there, I don't see anything in the law making it illegal to store them there.

I used to have one more NJ Pro 2A organization in my signature line. Unfortunately several of us were told that we had visited the "wrong" facebook page and are no longer allowed to participate.

The kit shown probably isn't want you need. The screws shown are oval head, the angle of the head is exactly right to fit the countersunk holes in a scope base. Since you removed the scope base, you need "set screws" - screws without heads. Most set screws come with an allen type socket and you need an allen wrench. The really strange threads that I've only seen used on guns (6-48 or 8-40) usually come with a slotted end. I almost said "slotted head" but these have no head.

You can get setscrews made specifically to fill those holes. Midway probably has them. If you know the thread (likely 8-40) and length, Midway has generic screw packs. I use blue thread locker on these screws. You can remove the blue later with regular hand tools with a little fight. Use red thread locker or JB weld and you will have a hard time ever removing them.

It's been a very intense couple of years for gun owners - especially in NJ. I'm feeling drained from all the anti gun activity and have started to back off. I still love my guns and still love to shoot but I'm feeling less motivated to "get involved".

Kagan wrote that "the federal government's elaborate system of background checks and record-keeping requirements help law enforcement investigate crimes by tracing guns to their buyers." She said this is undercut if a person can buy a gun for another person. So, once again, it's okay to violate a right as long as the government has a good reason to do so. Which is exactly the reason these rights were written down - to prevent the government to violate them even if it thought it had a good reason to do so. Do You Still Want SCOTUS to Hear a Right To Carry Case?

Have Fun. A stand will get you more opportunities at more shots. You can see more from 8' up than you can from the ground. And with a rifle vs. shotgun, you'll be able to take longer shots. My preference would be a stand over sitting by a tree.

Bloomberg's Everytown For Gun Safety group published it's map of 72 school shootings since Sandy Hook. CNN researched each shooting and says that only 15 are legitimate. http://edition.cnn.com/2014/06/11/us/school-shootings-cnn-number/index.html

I'm on the Moms Demand Action email list. You know, keep your friends close but your enemies closer. I get an email about once a week trying to rally the troops to call some senator or email some company. But things have changed this week. Moms Demand Action just got a $50 million boost from Bloomberg. They've had some small successes getting a few small restaurant chains to sort of take a stance against carry in their restaurants. The did get Starbucks to write an open letter that they preferred that people didn't carry in Starbucks. Even though Starbucks stopped short of putting up "no guns allowed" signs, MDM declared a victory. But now, they're going after a bigger target: Target. I'm getting bombarded with MDM emails asking me to call, email, fax, post to facebook to convince Target to prevent carry in their stores. MDM has figured out that they won't get legislation passed so they're going to make carry impossible by creating a patchwork of places where American's can carry. Most of the posts on the Target facebook page are in support of carry. This will be a very public defeat for MDM if Target doesn't fold, I'm wondering if MDM had already struck a deal before they went public - otherwise they have a lot at risk. I'll be watching closely.

1. are there any limtis on number of handgunes / rifles you can own? No limit on how many but you can't purchase more long guns without an FID card or any pistols without a permit to purchase handguns (one permit per gun, one gun per month) There are also lots of guns you can't own - many links to that info before this post. 2. any restrictions on buying or owning ammo? can I buy online? You can buy online and you can buy rounds for long guns. Rounds that will fit in a handgun require a FID card to purchase. 3. do you recommend I sell all my 15-round mags in light of the pending legislation to limit the capacity to 10 rounds? 10 rounds isn't the law yet and if it becomes the law, and you choose to comply, you can have your mags permanently altered. I'll mention that NJ has some rediculous transport rules too. It's too complicated to post all the details here but the basics are from home to range, to gun shop, to place of business (that you own), are legal trips you can make with a handgun unloaded and secured in a case. All other transport is a felony. Don't stop at McD's on the way to the range. No carry permits in NJ. They exist but nobody qualifies. Long guns may be transported unloaded and cased if you have a FID card.

I think we've all lost our minds. If a dog is attacking a child and the best way to stop the attack, under the circumstances, is to shoot the dog, shoot the dog.

I've been watching gunbroker for a while. I'm eventually going to pick up one of the Leinad double barrel .45lc/.410 derringers with the 11" barrels. I know they're junk but I like the idea of a little sawed off .410 that's legal to own. These things are all over the internet and they never sell for much more than $100. This is not the kind of gun you'd bother to upgrade. But this is America! We can do whatever we want so somebody did this: http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=420108299

Sorry - mis-post. deleted

I carry in DE all the time. Lots of info on usacarry.com about each state's requirements. Keep it concealed and nobody will know a thing. Open carry is legal in DE without a permit but I never see it, not like central PA where it's pretty common. You'll worry about it all day on day 1. Day 2 is easier.

Bingo! Like so many Americans, SCOTUS is completely comfortable with the right to "keep arms" but not so much with the right to "bear arms". So they'll just turn their heads and not get involved.

But I don't get out much.

You can get access to all historical administrative code changes here: http://www.njstatelib.org/research_library/legal_resources/nj_legal_resources/nj_register/ If I'm reading this correctly, the definition of justifiable need was added to the administrative code in 1991. If you scroll down to Volume 23 (1991) number 15, it will open as a PDF. link here: http://www.njstatelib.org/law_files/imported/Research_Guides/Law/njregister/volume23number15%20page2205-2446.pdf On page 2258 of this document, second column, paragraph 2, under (d)1. you'll find the new proposed language in bold. language to be removed is in brackets [remove this] and language to be added is bold: new language. Notice that no language is being removed from this section and that the definition of justifiable need is being added. This makes me think that no definition existed before 1991. Okay, now scroll way up to the beginning of this proposed change found on page 2250, second column bottom of the page. It says that the proposed re-adoption of 13:54 with amendments was "Authorized By:Colonel Justin J. Ointino, Superintendent, Division of State Police. The date is August 5, 1991. I'm no lawyer but it looks to me like: (1) the definition of justifiable need did not exist prior to 1991. (2) The superintendent of state police proposed the change to the administrative code that added the definition. Oh, and the definition in the code says: " the urgent necessity for self-protection, as evidenced by specific threats or previous attacks which demonstrate a special danger to the applicant's life that cannot be avoided by means other than by issuance of a permit to carry a handgun. Where possible the applicant shall corroborate the existence of any specific threats or previous attacks by reference to reports of such incidents to the appropriate law enforcement agencies;"

The section of the administrative code that defines "justifiable need" and makes in an impossible hurdle was written by the NJSP and added to the code. The Governor could direct the NJSP to re-write it. No legislation was involved in creating the requirement.

I've been watching gunbot.net at least once a day for months and buying ammo when a deal showed up. I've been able to get quite a bit of many different calibers at really good prices. I haven't seen a deal in at least 2 months. I haven't seen .22 in under .10/round in 2 months. It's as if all of the ammo prices have finally stabilized but at the new higher price. So up until a couple of months ago, I was still finding deals on .22. The next gun was going to be a ruger 22/45 but I'm rethinking that now.

NJ2AS leadership is not really interested in carry. They want faster permit processing. There was a monthly meeting about a year ago where there was almost a revolt. The membership was very vocal that they wanted to pursue right to carry and 60 people in attendance took over the meeting discussing how to go after right to carry. NJ2AS leadership started out by explaining why this wasn't the time but ended up not being able to quench the fire. Over the next few days, the NJ2AS facebook page was on fire with right to carry planning, discussion, and even some off-shoot groups wanting to tackle right to carry. To appease the masses, NJ2AS announced project CLASP where everyone was encouraged to apply for their permits. The project was not promoted other than the one announcement and it just faded quietly away, probably as planned.

Armatix not only wants to limit who can fire a gun, now they want to be able to shut them all off by satellite. Consider this: What was this company's marketing plan and how are they still in business? There is no market for their product. They make a gun that is only wanted by people who would never buy a gun. That's a terrible marketing plan...unless there's more to this company than meets the eye. http://www.thetruthaboutguns.com/2014/05/robert-farago/breaking-smart-gun-maker-files-patent-remote-kill-switch/#more-318235

Only because I don't want to spend $600 a year to join a club I'll never visit.

Beretta 21A .22 semi handgun. Bought it in the early 90's. It was one of the very first super compact guns designed as a backup carry gun. I bought it because I worked in some bad neighborhoods at the time and was naive about NJ gun laws. I still shoot it once in a while but it is ridiculously picky about ammunition. It will jamb on anything except high velocity ammo and jambs on some brands of that. It was okay a couple of years ago but the ammo of choice is very hard to find now. Fortunately, there are lots of other options in sub-compact guns today.
