There is an appeal process if you are denied. You need to follow the process. Applying again after 7 months is not the process. If you have a felony conviction, it's possible you do not qualify and there's nothign the police can do about it. You may need to get that expunged first - if car theft can be expunged.

I've been able to get whatever I needed, you just need a little patience. If you've got a couple of months before you can pick up your gun, you'll be able to stock up on anything, even 22. Check out gunbot.net. This site checks the other sites and lets you know what's available where. I've bought enough 22 and other stuff to keep me going. The prices are a premium, mostly because you're paying shipping too but if you wait for the right deal, it's not awful. I end up finding a deal worth buying about every 2 weeks and I'll buy whatever the seller's limit is. I try to throw in some other items since I'm paying shipping anyway. Ammo is harder to find but it's out there if you're not in a hurry.

My newest and currently my favorite. 45 colt/.410 Taurus Judge 3" cylinder with 3" barrel. Admittedly, it's the spork of the shooting world, not the best spoon, not the best fork, but it's still a lot of fun to shoot. It's already dispatched one ground hog, half a box of clay pigeons, several paper targets, milk jugs, an overripe cantaloupe, and a couple of sheets of plywood (to pattern shot shells). Shooting 45 colt is more accurate than I had imagined for a 3 inch barrel but it's still a close range gun. .410 game loads pattern at about 20" at 15 yds. 3" 000 buck shot sends out five .36 caliber pellets - each with the same muzzle energy of a .380. The recoil is far less than I had imagined when shooting 2-1/2" .410 shells or 45 colt. 3" magnum .410 buckshot really kicks. The day I bought it, I took off a few hours from work to pick it up and stopped home to shoot a few rounds. After about 25 shots in a variety of ammo, I noticed my elbow hurting on the drive back to the job. All is good with the elbow but you feel the 3" buck. Not a practical gun but definitely a fun gun. I just wish it didn't cost $5 a minute to shoot. It probably won't be my first choice for ccw.

30 days since my last purchase is coming up and I'm looking for a ccw semiauto, I really like the Ruger LCP but it's just too small in my hand. I want something that fits in a pocket but I need an extra half or 3/4 inch on the LCPs handle. I'm hoping for 9mm or .380, something reliable, DA or SA/DA, and in the $300-$400 price range. Polymer frame would be great. Is there anything out there that you have and love that I should take a serious look at? Thanks.

If we ignore the fact that it is illegal to stop citizens and demand to see their papers without reasonable suspicion that a crime has been committed, this is still wrong. It's wrong because the police were not there to protect us from drunk drivers as they pretended to be. They never asked if he was drinking nor did they have any reason to suspect he was. He was pulled out of his car, detained, and illegally searched because the officer didn't like being told no. This is an officer that is confused and forgets that he is supposed to enforce the law and believes that he is the law. The best part is that he even admitted to the other officer that he knew the kid was only exercising his rights while detaining him illegally and searching his car illegally. There have been a few topics here where there was cop bashing. This is not one of them. This cop is bad. That does not mean that his eagerness to violate someones civil rights to prove a point is the norm among police officers. I'm shocked that every police officer on this forum isn't screaming for this officer's dismissal - especially considering how pro 2A this group is, I would have thought we were all pretty Pro 1,3,4,5,6,7,8,9, and 10 too. This bad cop is the one that gives the rest a bad name.

If, and it's a big if, the officers actually did this, they need prison time and a lot of it.

I own to the yellow line. The county has an easement to the edge of the pavement. I guess I can ride my bike back and forth in front of my house and I'm still legal. Who knew I could have 250 feet of America right in front of my house!

This video was great info. Thanks. Interesting but I see two downsides. First, the guy doing the demo has his pants loose and hanging on his hips. I'm chunky enough that If my pants were that loose, I don't have enough hips to keep my pants up. Second, I like simple and as cool as this idea is, it's not simple. Actually, I've toyed with the idea of just sewing my right front pocket into the shape of a holster and rely on that to keep my firearm upright and within reach. Maybe I'll play seamstress this weekend and see how that works.

Wait a second: Without a FID, it's legal to possess a firearm on your own property. With an FID, it's legal to possess a long arm on another person's property. It's illegal to menace, threaten, disturb the peace, etc with or without a gun. Just sitting with a gun should not be enough to charge you with any of these. Just because someone is uncomfortable with you doing something that is legal is not enough to charge you with something. That's as stupid as being charged for giving a waitress a poor tip or a dirty look.

It's legal if you consent. You have the option to not do business there. It's almost a free country you know.

I'm looking for a comfortable concealed carry holster for the bigger man. I've tried IWB holsters and they are uncomfortable. I think these holsters must be for skinny guys. I'm not a skinny guy. OWB holsters require me to always wear a shirt untucked and heavy guys with untucked shirts always look sloppy. You skinny guys can get away with it. A belly band seems hot, itchy, and too tight although I've never tried one so I'm only guessing. It looks like I'm limited to a pocket holster. I'm fine with pocket carry, in fact it's about as convenient as you can get. I just need to remember to put my keys in the other pocket. My problem is that I've tried a couple of pocket holsters and find drawing from one slow and difficult. The outer part of the holster that prevents printing is always in the way of drawing. It probably only takes a second to get a hold of the gun and get it out but that second seems like a long time as I fumble in my pocket. Does anybody make a pocket holster that is easy to draw from but still retains and positions the gun well? I'm going to experiment with some kydex and see what I can come up with but it would be easier if I didn't have to reinvent the wheel.

Registration in NJ is voluntary and there is no reason to do so. If they push the issue and aren't backing down, the NJ State Police Firearms Investigation Unit in Trenton can clearly answer your questions. They will sometimes call a police chief to help them understand the law if there is an issue.

I shoot on some wooded property I own that is not connected to my home. It is not my primary residence but is other land possessed by me. I'm not worried.

We have a pro 2A democrat senator - Jeff VanDrew from South Jersey. He proposed the bill this year that would have reduced the crime for possession of a BB gun (currently BB guns are firearms in NJ with the same restrictions) and a bill that would have clearly defined what a reasonable diversion is while transporting a firearm. Currently, stopping to pee or going through the drive through could be a felony. VanDrew tried to fix both of these things so there is one good one. I always vote Republican, except for VanDrew. His fellow Democrat, Sen. President Steve Sweeney refused to let these bills be heard and instead pushed the .50 cal ban, FID/DL combination, no more on line ammo sales, no person to person transfers, and requirement to have a permit to purchase a handgun to buy ammo. These are the bills that Krispie Kreme is expected to sign so the Republicans aren't all on our side either.

Yes, the 495 beltway takes you through MD and VA but not DC. If you have a multi-state CCW, I don't know a good route because MD is is not part of free America either and MD covers a lot of area east and west.

Managing the growth of the economy used to be done by manipulating interest rates. Raise rates a tiny bit when the economy is growing too fast to prevent "bubbles" that eventually collapse and lower rates a tiny bit when the economy slows down. The goal is slow but steady growth. Slow and steady doesn't win elections so the FED has let things grow too fast for too long. The result: a big bubble collapse in 2008. Now, interest rates don't work any more. Once you hit 1/4% there's no where else to go. Now we use a new trick: Quantitative Easing. QE is just buying up investments to keep them off the market - mostly mortgage backed securities. Why do you think every American "deserves" a home and the government will provide the money and insurance to make sure they get one - whether they can afford one or not. That won't work for much longer and I don't know what they can do next.

I believe picking up homework gets you 5 in NJ.

Either, the panic has proved that we'll pay the higher prices and the price will stay high (worked with Gas) or demand will be so low because everyone now owns 4 when they only needed 1 and it will be hard to give away guns and ammo. I'm holding onto my money hoping for scenario number 2.

I went back and found the comment. I take it back. It looks like the comment was only a joke and I missed the joke.

Official report and media coverage would report that three ringleaders of an illegal alcohol trafficking operation had managed to elude law enforcement for several months by masquerading as college students. Two of the three will killed during a shootout with ATF agents when the three tried to kill several federal agents with their vehicle. ATF officers acted in self defense. Charlottsville residents are safer tonight thanks to the efforts of federal officers. The surviving student is in custody and has been charged with 27 counts of....

according to a Facebook post by Frank Fiamingo, president of NJ2AS, the ruling is expected in the next couple of weeks.

The only thing unusual is that she wasn't prosecuted.

Everyone, retired LEO or not has the right to carry according to the highest law in the nation. If you exercise that right in NJ and are not a retired LEO, they arrest you and put you in jail. Having an elite class of citizen (Retired LEO) that are able to exercise their rights while other citizens can not violates another part of our nations highest law, the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment.

FFLs set their own prices and the free market decides what those prices are.
