Mr.Stu

That's pretty much how I read it too. Why wouldn't you carry the permit if it means you can avoid the hassle of being detained?

Sorry, I don't know how it happened and didn't notice the incorrect attribution before I posted it. I have fixed it now.

I have 2 of his pieces and they are top quality.

FIFY From the Statutes: 2C:39-2. Presumptions b. Licenses and permits. When the legality of a person's conduct under this chapter depends on his possession of a license or permit or on his having registered with or given notice to a particular person or agency, it shall be presumed that he does not possess such a license or permit or has not registered or given the required notice, until he establishes the contrary. From the Admin Code: § 13:54-2.2 Permit required No person, except as provided in N.J.S.A. 2C:39-6, shall carry, hold or possess a handgun without first having obtained a permit to carry the same in accordance with the provisions of this chapter. Annotations Case Notes N. J.S.A. 2C:39-2b creating presumption of absence of firearm carrying permit unless defendant presents contrary evidence held constitutional as not offensive to due process; presumption rational in view of statutory and regulatory requirement for possession of permit whenever handgun is carried. McCandless v. Beyer, 835 F.2d 58 (3rd Cir. 1987). In prosecution for possession of a handgun without a permit, State did not have burden of offering evidence on the issue of whether defendant had a permit, pursuant to statutory presumption that an accused weapons offender does not possess a requisite license or permit unless he establishes the contrary. State v. Ingram, 98 N.J. 489, 488 A.2d 545 (1985).

Welcome aboard! BTW, don't take the bait and try to answer any questions about the name of a certain meat product. You'll alienate half the membership here, no matter how you answer.

I got one a week or so ago. So far I like it.

It is in Directive #06-19 issued by the administrative director if the courts at the direction of the NJ Supreme Court. See attached. NJ court rules.pdf

Nobody says that. Also, nobody says that drawing, finding something solid enough to rack the gun on, racking the gun, then presenting the gun is as efficient as drawing the gun and then immediately presenting the gun. Also, his ability to reload is meaningless with respect to his ability to get the gun into the fight initially. It might only be relevant if he was starting with no mag in the gun either, but nobody is that afraid of an ND, I'm sure.

Not a very good technique if your support hand is unavailable for some reason: Managing a child, grappling with your assailant, injured, etc.

True, and the range portion is supposed to be 2 hours. Not sure how you make 5 shots last 2 hours.

Have you seen the NY CoF? It is 5 rounds at 4 yards and 4 of the 5 shots must touch a piece of paper 25.5" x 11". This is not draw from a holster and no time limit.

It was Passaic that had the first ones IIRC

The whole premise is BS. If the permit is void while travelling in a vehicle, the gun owner is bound by the exemptions in the law. Therefore, merely driving to this fictional grocery store with an unloaded gun in the trunk with the intention of carrying it after arriving is a felony. The grocery store is not an exempt location.

Deactivating the safety, or forgetting to is the result of insufficient training and practice. I compete with striker fired guns without manual safeties (Glock, P320, XD/XDm) and guns with manual safeties (1911, BHP, CZ75). I have no issue making the gun go bang when I want it to from the draw. If you don't handle your gun regularly, yes you could fluff the safety. You could also get a bad grip, not have your sights aligned at the end of the draw stroke, all sorts of things. I have even seen a gun get pulled from the holster and tossed across the range as a competitor swept his concealment garment out of the way - his hand never touched the gun and he earned himself a DQ. Words from top tier guys - "You might practice until you get it right. We practice until we can't get it wrong."

Judges that are refusing to sign permits need to shit or get off the pot. Don't want to do your job? Resign. Don't like the law and can't bring yourself to carry it out? Resign. Don't want to adhere to your oath to uphold the Constitution? Resign. How long does it take for a judge to write their name on a piece of card stock? There is no excuse for a backlog.

I was doing some reading about official misconduct. It appears that they won't be found guilty if they have reason to believe their conduct was "authorized". I have had no luck in finding anything to say what "authorized" means.

That's more to do with operator error, than a gun issue. Relying on a manual safety to save you from incorrect gun/holster manipulation is not the answer, IMO.

Why are you more concerned with a striker fired gun than a hammer fired one? Both rely on the sear to keep the firing pin from striking the primer. Both the VP9 and the P30, in addition to the sear, have a striker/firing pin safety block which prevents the striker/firing pin moving forward unless the trigger has been pressed to move the safety block out of the way. If I was to be concerned in this area at all, it would be between a series 70 1911 and a series 80.

You have that backwards. You need to submit the whole packet including quals. The quals must have been shot in the previous 6 months.

This is what I have. I got lockable hard cases specifically so I could ride to the range.

Leaving anything unlocked is a dumb thing to do. Leaving a handgun unlocked is arguably more than just dumb. Taking your handgun to your child's school is a felony, no matter what the mode of transport. Just don't do it.

The statute says possession of a handgun, without first obtaining a permit is a felony. If the permit you obtained does not cover the situation you are in with your handgun, you might just as well not have a permit at all. I'm assuming you're not covered by the exemptions (to/from a range, etc.) in this theoretical situation.

Is there a pre-event sign up, or just show up and shoot?

If you are in possession of a handgun, and your permit expressly excludes that situation, I would imagine you would be charged with illegal possession of a firearm.
