Utah received today, Took the class on March 20th. Took Florida, in Florida on March 27th, received that last Friday.

Bought ammo 1 month ago, no questions asked.

Christie knows better than anyone. I was the Foreman on the NJ Federal Grand jury, years ago, I served once a week for 2 years. Back then Christie was in charge of all the prosecutors. Most of the cases I heard were gun related, probably 80% of them. I can honestly tell you of all the gun cases we heard, 99% were gang related. I honestly cannot remember a single case where a legal gun owner came across our group. During that period all the murders, robberies etc. were gang related.

I agree with most on here about boycotting Dicks, however I do admit to stopping in the store to pick-up a plastic ammo box thast will lock, 15 dollars. I paid cash and the cashier asked me if i had the rewards card. I do not carry it so I gave them my name and then zip code. Then he asked me to select the answer on the keypad to finalize the purchase, is asked ARE YOU A CITIZEN OF THE US YES OR KNOW? I asked why are they asking this and was told, you.'re buying a plastic box that could hold ammunition. Never again will I provide my info or purchase from that store.

Thanks everyone!

Mipafox, Yes that seems reasonable! Thanks again for the opinion!

Mipafox, Thanks, I think i will call the sheriff..... I appreciate the opinion!

Kman, I see your home range is in PA but you residence is NJ. I posted on another thread about traveling to a friends property to train and practice. In PA it seems they leave the (Range;place of practice, vague). If you have any experience with this matter I would appreciate your input. FYI, I have a second home in PA, I live in NJ but I work in NY. I believe traveling to/from my home in NJ and my home in PA is Legal.

From NRA/ILA Firearm Laws For PA Please see in bold, while in PA, it does not state you need to be traveling to or from a (practice range), It would seem target practice on a friends property would be acceptable. (place of assembly or target practice) Opinions ? Am I missing something? it states: (2) when engaged in target shooting or while going to or from shooters’ places of assembly or target practice, provided the firearm is unloaded and the ammunition is carried in a separate container; Any person carrying a handgun in any vehicle or concealed on or about his person’ is required to have a license to carry or a Sportsman’s Firearm Permit (good only for hunting, fishing, trapping and dog training). However, no license is required: (1) to carry a handgun in one’s home or fixed place of business; (2) when engaged in target shooting or while going to or from shooters’ places of assembly or target practice, provided the firearm is unloaded and the ammunition is carried in a separate container; (3) for law enforcement personnel, including policemen, jail wardens, and sheriffs and their deputies; (4) to carry an unloaded and securely wrapped firearm from place of purchase to one’s home or place of business, to or from a place of repair, or in moving from one place of abode or business to another, or from one’s home to a vacation or recreational home or dwelling or back, to recover stolen property, or to a location to which the person has been directed to surrender firearms or back upon return of the surrendered firearm; (5) to carry while lawfully hunting or fishing or going to the place of hunting or fishing, provided one has a hunting or fishing license and a Sportsman’s Firearm Permit; (6) while carrying a firearm in any vehicle when the person possesses a valid and lawfully issued license for that firearm which has been issued under the laws of the U.S. or any other state; (7) by a person who has a lawfully issued license to carry a firearm and said license expired within six months prior to the date of arrest and that individual is otherwise eligible for renewal of that license; (8) by any person who is otherwise eligible to possess a firearm and who is operating a motor vehicle which is registered in the person’s name or the name of a spouse or parent and which contains a firearm for which a valid license has been issued to the spouse or parent owning the firearm. A Sportsman’s Firearm Permit is valid only for sporting purposes. It is obtained by applying to the county treasurer. The applicant must present his hunting or fishing license and pay a fee of $6.00. The permit is valid for five years. It must be carried with a valid hunting or fishing license.

Welcome, I lived in EB for a few years myself!

mipafox, Question based on your experience, as I am a part time homeowner in PA, is impossible to get a CCW permit from Pa? My primary residence is NJ. Sorry if this has been answered before!

Read Example 2. 27 CFR § 478.11 State of residence. The State in which an individual resides. An individual resides in a State if he or she is present in a State with the intention of making a home in that State. If an individual is on active duty as a member of the Armed Forces, the individual’s State of residence is the State in which his or her permanent duty station is located. An alien who is legally in the United States shall be considered to be a resident of a State only if the alien is residing in the State and has resided in the State for a period of at least 90 days prior to the date of sale or delivery of a firearm. The following are examples that illustrate this definition: Example 1. A maintains a home in State X. A travels to State Y on a hunting, fishing, business, or other type of trip. A does not become a resident of State Y by reason of such trip. Example 2. A is a U.S. citizen and maintains a home in State X and a home in State Y. A resides in State X except for weekends or the summer months of the year and in State Y for the weekends or the summer months of the year. During the time that A actually resides in State X, A is a resident of State X, and during the time that A actually resides in State Y, A is a resident of State Y. Might have to find a friendly Pa FFL that knows about this dual-residency allowance but it is legal. Also, if you buy a firearm in PA, don't take it back to NJ unless you are permanently moving back to NJ or risk a possible Federal violation.

Interesting read from a PA perspective. I own a home in PA for 12 years now and even if you use it on weekends you're considered a resident. I would need to do more (research), So you should be able to buy firearms and keep them in the PA home. Finding a dealer who knows this may be challenging. http://forum.pafoa.org/concealed-open-carry-121/136300-pa-homeowner-but-nj-resident-ltcf-transport.html

4REDZ, Were you ever able to purchase firearms in PA with your PA tax/utility bills in pa. I am also a PA homeowner and I'm trying to figure this out myself. Thanks

Last month I received my FID, it took me 28 days in Woodbrige !
