This will never happen in NJ unless it's well organized, coordinated with the current cases pending before the courts, and done with some sort of end game plan. Just applying gets us nothing. Visit the NJ2AS facebook page and see what's happening there.

About the question of whether loaded mags is the same as loaded guns: No, loaded mags are not loaded guns. The problem is that NJ courts are willfully negligent in protecting the rights of gun owners. All you need is one bad cop, one bad prosecutor, and one bad judge who would construe a loaded magazine as a loaded gun and you're going to prison for several years. What are the chances of finding that trifecta of rights abuse in NJ? Greater than zero. So, the choice is yours but choose informed.

Taurus makes good guns for the price. I've owned a few, I have not owned the 809. Finish is just one notch below the other brands it usually clones but not at all bad. I would buy another.

Is this true? I can't find statistics that are recent enough to confirm this. I know media reporting of shootings is up.

I don't suppose anything here http://www.mcmaster.com/#solid-rod-ends/=pa7497 would work?

The law itself is pretty easy to understand. I suggest reading it for yourself. I don't trust my freedom to internet advice. Google the following: NJSA 2C:39-5 - this section tells you what you can't possess. Which is just about everything. don't miss section c that says you can possess long guns with a FID card as long as you're following the rules on how to transport below. NJAC 2C:39-6 - this section lists the exemptions to the section above, that is: the few situations when you can possess a firearm. The first couple of pages list special people that can carry - mostly law enforcement. then comes sections e and f that tell when the rest of us can possess or transport. It includes "premises or other land owned or possessed by him" finally section g tells you how you must transport within NJ.

That's exactly what's happening now. If you apply for it you will be denied for non criminal reasons. It will happen because it is happening.

The court doesn't care about what is right or what the constitution says. Instead of answering the question "is this law constitutional", the 3rd circuit court decided to use "interest balancing" and determined that the interests of the state are greater than the interests of the people. Any 3rd grader can tell you that the bill of rights is there to protect the people when the interests of the state are different than the interests of the people. The court refused to do their job and consider the constitution because the only logical and legal decision would be that NJs laws infringe on a right. So they said "don't look over there at the constitution - look over here instead" and made up a crooked way of denying ccw in NJ. How outrageous is it that the federal court said the constitution can be ignored as long as it's in the best interest of the state!

NJ2AS asked members to all pick up Carry applications several months ago and I figured there would be a day when a thousand people would all apply en masse with a standard and uniform letter. Nothing ever came of it. Too bad, the state's defense in the 3rd Circuit carry case - which we lost - was that they already approve almost 95% of applicants. They failed to mention that only 800 armed guards apply every year because everyone else is intimidated by having to check "I was denied" on the firearms application for the rest of their lives.

“A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly.” - Robert Heinlein

I spent 20 years working in the trades including a few doing plumbing. I don't like the shark bite fittings but honestly couldn't give you a rational reason why. Some good licensed plumbers are using them for hard to get to areas with good results. They have been on the market for a long time with very little problems - probably no more failures than you get with soldered copper connections or glued plastic connections. But for some reason, I still prefer to do it the old fashioned way. Be careful about permits. Home owners can pull their own permits without needing a contractor. Some towns watch the trash at the curb to see if anyone is throwing away water heaters to catch permit cheats.

Why does this seem so crystal clear to me? The original question was: Does he have a Second Amendment Right to Carry the handgun? Yes he does! And that right shall not be infringed no matter where he lives or doesn't live.

About 7" long It almost fits my Ruger LCP except I'd need at least an extra inch on the barrel to stop it from flopping around. I wouldn't consider the LCP as "medium".

Yeah, I had missed the PPK in the link before. Mine does not have that. In fact, I decided to stop being lazy and here are some photos of mine.

I have an older Safariland #8 holster with some sentimental value. I have no idea what gun this holster will fit and the Safariland site no longer lists this. I contacted Safariland for info which they don't have. I don't suppose anyone here knows anything about what this will fit. The rear of the holster says number 8 medium semiauto. here's a few photos of one like it: http://www.ioffer.com/i/safariland-ppk-med-auto-8-gun-pistol-holster-leather-139899179

Just curious - what does the testing cost?

I bought a 91/30 a couple of months ago. I just realized to day that the rod that threads in place under the barrel is shorter than the barrel. It's got a hole in the end to accept a patch but a cleaning rod shorter than the barrel doesn't seem like it's going to do much cleaning. What is it really for?

After more than 40 years in NJ, my first gun experience outside the state happened this summer. I carried in 9 states, bought ammo without an FID, almost bought a shotgun at a pawn shop, and nobody got hurt or killed.

At that rate of fire, a trip to the range costs over $100 per minute in ammo.

Same here with NJSP, always dated 1 to 2 weeks before I get the call.

Coming soon to a town near you.

The problem is: The jury gets the law the judge decides to give them with the instructions as the judge interprets the law and as we've seen in case after case lately, what the law says sometimes has little relevance on how the courts rule.

The grooves on Picatinny and Weaver bases are different width and spacing. Similar but different system. If you need to be able to move the scope back and forth, you can get adaptors that let you mount a Picatinny rail on top of a Weaver rail basically coverting the .22 to Picatinny.
