A 6 Year Old's Logic
Over the weekend I was taking my son (6) to a friend's birthday party. The party was Star Wars themed so he had one of his storm trooper figures with him. He was asking me about the storm trooper's gun as if it was real. He then asks me how many laser bullets it had. I said I didn't know and maybe it depended on the size of the battery it had. He then asked me "how many bullets do real guns have"? I said it depends on the gun, some only one others up to 15 (kept it simple). He asked why only 15. I said it's the law. He asked why was it the law. I said because our politicians thought we would be safer if the guns were limited to only holding 15 bullets. He paused for a second and then said, "but bad guys don't follow the law". My six year old gets it why can't our politicians?

Gun rooms
I think the local police would beat you home after you submitted your building plans and be waiting for you. Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk

The way it was meant to be...
When Sweeney wins and is Governor looking back at how we wishes for carry will seem like a happy memory. We need to be mounting an effort now to get a real Pro 2A candidate elected Governor or we can expect the Safe Act on steroids shoved onto us as a reprisal for trying to recall him.

If it gets worse they'll just start a copy cat campaign of the UKs save a life, surrender a knife. When that doesn't work they will talk knife control. Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk

Bill introduced in NJ to repeal front license plate requirement
Dual plates benefit the license plate reading cameras on police cars and red light cameras (if they cone back online) . For those two reasons a bill to drop the front plate has no chance. Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk

Dems trying to introduce new "Assault" Weapons ban
I thought the 3 days was only after a hold message was received back. If there is no NICS personnel there would be no response at all. Effectively no FFL could sell a firearm. This would leave only private sales which they would then argue is drastically dangerous and that he will not restart the NICS system until a Universal Background Check bill was on his desk to close the "loop hole".

Not that I want to give POTUS any ideas, but could he order the AG / FBI to stop NICS activities for a period of time say for a cooling off period? Probably calculated to be just long enough to shut down most mom and pop gun stores from lack of revenue.

Federal judge grants injunction against DC "good cause" requirement
Alright. Now they assign the judge that will tow the party line and they can get the ruling they first wanted.

New Jersey Firearm Purchase and Permitting Study Commission,
They don't care about NJ's support. They can sacrifice NJ to the gun grabbers to ensure their membership ranks in the other states grow so they don't end up like us.

New Jersey Firearm Purchase and Permitting Study Commission,
Unfortunately, even with the current POTUS and the prospect of Clinton being the next POTUS the NRA needs NJ (and a few select other states) to remain behind enemy lines. It helps them drum up membership, dues and support.

Good You Pick Junkyard
Checked Rockauto (thank you) and that might be a solution. Part of me though wants the fun of getting the part too.

Good You Pick Junkyard
Are there any recommendations for a junk yard in Northwest Jersey that you can pick your own parts? I need a rear wiper motor for my wife's Toyota Rav4 and the prices online seem a bit steep considering we only need it to make it through one more winter.

Ham radio
I bought a Yeasu FT-60 a few months ago and I'm very happy with it. It's a tried and true model as it's been out for a number of years. Easy to program and feels really solid. Almost all the reviews I've seen on it praise it for holding up over the years. It's not going to have all the extras the ID-51 is going to have but at about $150 you wont get too hurt either if you decide later you want something with more features.

Another reason I love Texas...
I had a project last winter with a PD down in southern TX. Introduced myself to the Chief there and as soon as he heard my voice he asked me where I was from. When I replied New Jersey he smirked and said, "sorry to hear that, welcome to America". Fast forward a few days and on two different occasions I had to go into their cell block to address an issue. Each time, reflexively the office who was my guide reminded me I needed to secure my weapon in the locker before entering. I had to keep reminding him we aren't allowed to carry and each time he chuckled and shook his head.

Cars / Trucks - Is front license plate required ?
"Officer, I thought it was legal to have no front plate and tinted windows as I noticed at least half the cars in your PD employee parking lot are setup that way".

Wife, a Convicted Felon, Prevents Husband from Obtaining FPID & Purchase Permits
Politicians need votes and they don't care from whom they get them. Some politicians dont like an armed citizenry. It presents an obstacle and threat to there complete power.

Ex-boyfriend sought in woman's slaying while waiting for permit!
I can see it already, "our thoughts and prayers go out to the victim and to her family. That being said, New Jersey's firearms laws are prudent and considering changing them only risks more victims of gun violence if we allow firearms out in the general public. " That is what we will most likely get, if that, until we vote in those who respect the Second Amendment. Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk

Need to get it onto Fox News. I also wrote letters to my legislative representatives as well as to the Governor. Flood their email/faxes.

help picking a new grill
Another vote for a Weber. You'll spend a bit more initially but you make it back, many times over, in the grills longevity. Their customer service is second to none as well. A couple of parts got dinged up during shipping on mine and they were quick to send our replacements and didn't even make me go through the trouble of sending the originals back.

Police departments can not add their own requirements, court rules
I thought I remember hearing on GFH that the goal was to get a decision like this and then to use it to go after any chiefs who continued to violate the law. The idea was to go after them in a way that it would bring charges against them and thus they would loose their jobs. I guarantee if you had one chief get a spanking like that all 500 others would immediately come into compliance. Not one of them is going to risk their cushy job or pension.

justifiable need?
Only while CC still thinks he's got a shot to win in 2016 and only if he's confronted in the presence of news cameras with a direct question about why self defense is not a justifiable need for a CCW permit in NJ but is elsewhere in the country, will he ever consider or make a statement about considering directing the AG to change the requirements. Until then, he is just as supportive as are the rest of our political leaders in this state to keep the system the way it is.
