Frank from NJ2AS? Is Frank working back with you? This would be a ridiculous project for NJ2AS to take on. Private businesses can do whatever they want in their own stores. With NJ2AS' limited resources, I hope they really aren't putting any into this. Say it ain't so.

And even the ammo that's available in any caliber is 3X what the price was a year and a half ago. Add to that the fact that some calibers are only showing up on-line postage makes 4x the price it used to be. Like gas and oil, once the shortage is over the price will never go back down. We've shown that we'll pay what they're charging.

They can dry goods for long term storage mostly. 1 gallon cans similar to paint cans with press on lids are available through the church - canning equipment is also available for use at the church. They do offer guides to can fruits and vegetables but most of the long term storage is rice, cereal, dry corn, flour, and other similar items. Typically fill the can, throw in a desiccant pack and O2 absorber and press on the lid. The benefits are that it's cheaper to can yourself - especially of the church buys 50,000 cans at a time instead of us ordering a dozen. A Mormon friend I used to work with showed me her pantry. It was a well stocked mini-convenience store. Followed FIFO procedures, everything dated and labeled. I thought a "good" Mormon had a year's supply of food on hand but maybe it was only 3 months. They are ready for the end times.

What's the price at dunkelburgers?

No, the law does not list a carry permit from another state as meeting the requirement.

doesn't matter what the state police want. It's a superior court judge that decides if you meet the standard. The rules for demonstrating "thorough familiarity with the safe handling of a handgun" can be met in 4 ways. See the law below 13:54-2.4 Application for a permit to carry a handgun (a) Every person applying for a permit to carry a handgun shall furnish such information and particulars as set forth in the application form designated SP 642. The application shall be signed by the applicant under oath and shall be endorsed by three reputable persons who have known the applicant for at least three years preceding the date of application, and who shall also certify thereon that the applicant is a person of good moral character and behavior. Applications can be obtained at police departments and State Police stations. (b) Each applicant shall demonstrate a thorough familiarity with the safe handling and use of handguns by indicating in the space provided therefor on the application form, and on any sworn attachments thereto, any relevant information. Thorough familiarity with the safe handling and use of handguns may be evidenced by: 1. Completion of a firearms training course substantially equivalent to the firearms training approved by the Police Training Commission as described by N.J.S.A. 2C:39-6j; 2. Submission of an applicant's most recent handgun qualification scores utilizing the handgun(s) he or she intends to carry as evidenced by test firings administered by a certified firearms instructor of a police academy, a certified firearms instructor of the National Rifle Association, or any other recognized certified firearms instructor; 3. Completion of a course or test in the safe handling of a handgun administered by a certified firearms instructor of a police academy, a certified firearms instructor of the National Rifle Association, or any other recognized certified firearms instructor; or 4. Passage of any test in this State's laws governing the use of force administered by a certified instructor of a police academy, a certified instructor of the National Rifle Association, or any other recognized certified instructor. (c ) Where available, the information in (b) above shall be accompanied and validated by certifications of the appropriate instructor(s). In the absence of, or in addition to (b)1 through 4 above, the applicant shall provide any other available and accurate information which may evidence his or her proficiency in the safe handling and use of firearms, including most recent handgun qualification scores and whether he or she utilized the handgun(s) he or she intends to carry, courses attended in the safe handling and use of firearms, and extent of knowledge, however gained, of this State's laws pertaining to the use of force in the defense of person and property.

Mine would be: 1) Polymer Frame - very light weight, I don't want to know I'm carrying. 2) Super Subcompact - think Ruger LCP, Sig P238, Kahr P380 or similar - easy to conceal and easy to carry. 3) Single Action/Double Action - Can carry hammer down, round in chamber and still fire the first round with just a trigger pull. Second shot short, light trigger pull. 4) Exposed Hammer - able to de-cock on a full chamber. 5) Beaver tail grip safety similar to 1911. I want a safety but don't want one I have to fumble with under pressure. If you could design your own ccw gun, what 5 features would it have?

I had one in a box of 50 last week that would not feed in my Ruger LCP. I spent 10 minutes trying to figure out why that one round would not go all the way into the chamber and it looked identical to all the others. I brought it home and investigated further and saw no difference at all but it definately won't go all the way into the chamber.

I haven't found anything better than the foam ear plugs you roll between your fingers before putting them in your ears. Cheap, simple, always work, they don't fall off, and they aren't in the way. I buy them in packs of 200 pair.

There are several causes of this. The most common cause is lack of makeup air. A chimney can't draft properly if there isn't fresh air coming into the room to replace the air moving up the chimney. If the makeup air is just barely adequate a little puff of wind will change things. Try cracking a window a few inches and see if the problem goes away.

Plus: magazines are cheap. Go for it. just keep out of reach of children.

I did a change of address, and P2Ps with NJSP less than a year ago. No fingerprints needed.

As long as the spring is not compressed beyond it's "elastic limit", it can sit compressed for years compressed. There may be a few magazines designed poorly that have had a problem and maybe this is where that advice comes from. I have two semi-autos that have had magazines loaded almost continuously since the early 90's. They still feed just fine.

I'm looking for the same for the same reason. Didn't see anything on SJSC's website.

Right to carry (bear) is half the guaranteed right in the right to keep and bear arms. 50%!!!. As wrong and evil as magazine restrictions are, denying half the guaranteed right is worse than not allowing 30 rounds mags.

It certainly solves 90% of the problems. But it needs to be done thoughtfully and with a clear goal and plan.

FL is fine but you can't carry in PA with Florida. That's probably the #1 reason UT is the preferred permit for NJ residents.

Gun For Hire did the prints during the class and even collected the applications and mailed them for you. I did VA and AZ on my own. One (I forget which) required prints to be done by a LEO. I called my local NJSP barracks and they dusted off the old ink equipment (everything is digital now) and did the prints for me. Actually, since everything has been digital for years, none of the officers who were there at the time were comfortable doing ink prints so they just let me roll my own.

To answer the question of training required: This is the law: 13:54-2.4 Application for a permit to carry a handgun (b) Each applicant shall demonstrate a thorough familiarity with the safe handling and use of handguns by indicating in the space provided therefor on the application form, and on any sworn attachments thereto, any relevant information.

Completion of a firearms training course substantially equivalent to the firearms training approved by the Police Training Commission as described by N.J.S.A. 2C:39-6j; 2. Submission of an applicant's most recent handgun qualification scores utilizing the handgun(s) he or she intends to carry as evidenced by test firings administered by a certified firearms instructor of a police academy, a certified firearms instructor of the National Rifle Association, or any other recognized certified firearms instructor; 3. Completion of a course or test in the safe handling of a handgun administered by a certified firearms instructor of a police academy, a certified firearms instructor of the National Rifle Association, or any other recognized certified firearms instructor; or 4. Passage of any test in this State's laws governing the use of force administered by a certified instructor of a police academy, a certified instructor of the National Rifle Association, or any other recognized certified instructor. © Where available, the information in (b) above shall beaccompanied and validated by certifications of the appropriate instructor(s). In the absence of, or in addition to (b)1 through 4 above, the applicant shall provide any other available and accurate information which may evidence his or her proficiency in the safe handling and use of firearms, including most recent handgun qualification scores and whether he or she utilized the handgun(s) he or she intends to carry, courses attended in the safe handling and use of firearms, and extent of knowledge, however gained, of this State's laws pertaining to the use of force in the defense of person and property.

One advantage is that reciprocity agreements change from time to time and with 40+ states all having agreements with each other, that's a lot of agreements to have to keep track of. If you happen to get caught in a state that recognized another state's permit a week ago but doesn't now, having a second permit is some insurance.

Why did Gura need the delay?

I have. The groups were much tighter than buckshot but not center mass. I think they stay together much better in the barrel but still tend to drift all over the place - just all together. Groups were probably 6" at 15 yards although I didn't really take the time to measure. As for this gun being poor for home defense - maybe. But I still love shooting this gun. Breaking clays with a handgun is a blast - no pun intended. And I like the ridiculous look of a 3" long cylinder. Maybe useless but still fun.

I've owned a Judge for about a year and it as been my go to home defense gun since I bought it. I keep it ready and loaded with 3" 000 buck shot figuring I'm sure to hit the bad guy if I ever need it. I shot several types of rounds today to compare and I'm not sure 000buck is the way to go. Click here for a larger target. In the middle are 5 rounds of .45 long colt. 6" group at 15 yards. Not very good shooting but the judge is a terrible gun for accuracy. Bored for both .45 and .410, light rifling, and a 3" long cylinder to travel through before jumping into the 3" barrel. But at least these rounds would have been center of mass. The odd shaped thing around the middle 5 rounds are two shells of 3" 000 buck at 10 yards. This is what I've been keeping at the ready for home defense. At anything over 10 yards, I'm not sure I'd hit much. It's unlikely I'd be over 10 yards in a home defense situation but at 20 yards, It's possible I'd miss completely because I'd be shooting around the target instead of at it. The rest of the target is two rounds of 2-1/2" #9 shot at 7 yards. I'd definitely hit somebody at close range but wouldn't do more than hurt them. I think I've decided that the Judge is not the home defense weapon I thought it was and if it was all I had, I'd go with the .45 long colt rounds.

Ryan, I'm lost. SCOTUS denied hearing the case. Gura said "pretty please" and SCOTUS said "let us think it over". And now we're waiting to find out. Do I understand correctly?

20 years ago I was a patriot. Today I'm an extremist. I never changed.
