Reference question/problem rant :-)
Yep Maks, just checked a copy of one of my past reference forms and it's issued by my township pd. Eventhough one would think it would be consistent across the state, we've seen that not to be the case with the application process.

Reference question/problem rant :-)
I believe the last question on the reference form asks if that person feels you have the ability to handle/possess a firearm, so the person will have a pretty good idea what it's for. If it were me, I'd be flat out honest and tell them what it's for, keep asking until you find the ones that would have no problem doing so. Good luck and be safe.

March 25 - NJ finally up in smoke?
Fapping? Prevaricating? And I thought I'd only learn more about gun stuff here, this place is awesome!

Firearms ID/Pistol Permits system switches to the NJ FARS
So I went to my local pd, Hamilton Twp., Mercer County. They are not using FARS yet. Did the criminal records check online, filled out applications for permits and the mental health check, signed them in front of the clerk, and paid for permits just like I have been doing. Turn around time has always been just within the 30 day window, except for the first time when I applied for a FPID too during the Obama years.

Firearms ID/Pistol Permits system switches to the NJ FARS
Thanks for the info guys. I have been completing form 212A online (the one with the ORI) the last few times. The reference letters, mental health search, and purchase permit application have always been filled out on paper and brought to the station. From some of the earlier posts I assumed that the whole process is being done electronically now, hence my confusion. FXDX, your link seems to clear that up.

Grabagun?
A few times, good prices, shipped quick and no problems. Would use them again.

Firearms ID/Pistol Permits system switches to the NJ FARS
I was planning to turn in my paperwork on Monday after doing the criminal records check online, like I usually do. Picked up the paperwork last month. My local PD is Hamilton Twp. in Mercer County. Guess I'll just wait and give them a call to see if they've switched over too, hate to pay the $21 twice.

Pelosi makes veiled threat to gun rights
I'm far from being a constitutional scholar, but I think statues 33 code 2293 and 10 code 2808 allow the president to re-appropriate funds as necessary due to national emergency.

Pelosi makes veiled threat to gun rights
There have been 58 national emergencies declared since 1976, 31 of which are still active. Obama declared 11 himself, some like DACA are clearly unconstitutional but never challenged,, how is Trump's declaration any different?

Proposal by Connecticut lawmaker to impose 50 percent tax on ammunition
Poll tax was instituted in the south sometime after the civil war I think. People had to pay a tax to vote, kept away poor black & white) voters.

Gosh darn it! Targetsports is located in CT. That's some insane logic she's using, so why am I not suprised.

Bear Creek Arsenal gets Raided by ICE, 30 People Taken into custody
Over 10% of the workforce being illegals is a considerable amount. As far as expertly done fakes, I can find out in seconds if a student's or parent's s.s. # jives with the fafsa data base. I would think any company would do their due diligence for their own protection, unless they're just looking for cheap labor. On the other hand, they may have been paying them quite well.

Isn't Viridiana Martinez the activist that AOC is taking to the SOTU tonight? 3-5k for papers is chump change compared to the fed/state freebies. Owner didn't know nothing kinda smells fishy. Not making it political, but maybe their next stop should be Pelosi's vineyards. I've always held the position that if they went after the business owners hiring illegals it would put a crimp on the practice.

White House preparing draft national emergency order, has identified $7 billion for wall
Hope I'm wrong, but this will get so tied up it will never see the light of day.

Should safety class be a permit requirement?
No fed or state requirements, because you know, that silly 2A thing and we already have enough hoops to jump through. However, I can see a private range requiring whatever they want. Heck, we should be able to carry with what we already have to provide.

What are the laws on Fingerprinting
And how does that even make sense in anyone's mind. Better yet, my wife had to get digitally fingerprinted for her job, and again when she applied to be a school substitute for the days she was off from her regular job, and yet again when she was helping out in our church's preschool (all required by law), all sets done by Sagem Morpho at $70+ a pop. You mean to tell me they don't have a registry of those already on file? What a joke!

You silly boys, everyone knows a person's fingerprints change over time. Heck, mine get all wrinkly every time I get out of the pool.

Are there kits to DIY reduce cap of our Mags?
Ridiculous is putting it mildly. I only have four mags > 10 so I bought the magblocks shown. They worked fine after a few hundred rounds, but I just couldn't do the deed permanently, can't imagine people that have dozens or more to neuter. I have a relative across the river in PA holding them for me in the hope that this ridiculousness is overturned. Whatever the outcome, I would recommend these.

Million Plus NJ Gun Owners Defy State Law, Refuse to Turn Over Banned Gun Mags
Not sure I'd advocate for anyone to do something illegal. I feel for you guys and gals with multiple unconstitutionally illegal mags, but I sent the few >10s I have to a relative across the river (makes Gen. Washington's crossing re-enactment in a few days kind of ironic huh). I previously bought magblocks but am guardedly optimistic that I might not have to neuter my mags due to the possible shift in the 3rd district court. I just hope I lubed them enough to prevent any rust in the next 10 years or so.

ANJRPC SCOTUS Carry Lawsuit
Au contraire monsieur Zeke, Didn't Chief Justice Roberts recently admonish the president for even hinting the SCOTUS could possibly have a drop of political/partisan blood in their veins (eventhough any reasonable adult could tell you which of them is liberal, conservative, or moderate)? I would be very uncomfortable to see a 2A case come before this current group.

ANJRPC SCOTUS Carry Lawsuit
Ok, so I'm not a lawyer but I'm related to a few, Kavenaugh sided with Roberts and the other liberal judges on the Planned Parenthood case, not exactly promising for a 'strict constitutionalist' (read Thomas' dissent). Hopefully, Trump gets another chance with Barrett or Hardiman. As far as carry permits for us common folk in NJ? maybe if Trump is re-elected and I live to 100.
