Mr.Stu

So with 250 million adults in the US that's almost enough for 2 per person. N95 masks are not reusable so what are we going to do on Friday?

If he didn't show you his FPIC, carry permit or PtPP you made an illegal transfer of handgun ammo. Go to jail anyway... ...unless you were using a rifle!

These tests are not reliable. I friend used a couple of them on her son. One came back positive, the other negative. A subsequent PCR test came back positive. On the linked website they even suggest the same thing - if you get a negative result, test again 24 hours apart until you get a positive one. FFS! It should only come back negative if you don't have Covid. That would mean you have zero chance of spreading it. What use is a test that can only tell you yes or maybe not?

By the same token, you can be jacked up by any prosecutor who is happy to make up his own laws. There is no statute to charge under for the story presented above. Any decent attorney should be able to blow right through that and get a significant payout for you. Show me some case law (an actually real case that went to court with a docket number, had charges listed, evidence presented and was actually adjudicated) and I'll give that story some credence.

You can get into trouble for using deadly force without proper justification. The method of delivering deadly force is not regulated. You cannot be prosecuted for using extra deadly force. Similarly, you will not get a lighter sentence for using slightly deadly force.

I'm curious as to when you're going to apply for your carry permit and pursue this legal strategy.

If you don't think NJ will block as long as they possibly can, I suggest you look up the Federal LEOSA law and then compare to NJ's requirement that retired LEO must obtain a RPO permit in order to carry in NJ.

There are several, including the Federal gun free zones, e.g. Court Houses, Post Offices, military bases, etc. The school one is not absolute. If the Principal gives you written permission, firearms can be taken onto school property.

FPIC = Firearms Purchasers Identification Card FID = same thing with some words left out

You read all my comments above on the internet, so I win!

I think the closest is if you join ANJRPC you have access to their attorneys to ask questions like this.

I don't think this discussion is going to gain any clarity by starting down the road of what the politicians would like the laws to be. Let's stick to what it is, not what might it become.

Nowhere do the NJ statutes require a case to be locked during transportation.

As I said earlier, if you have an FPIC, the exemptions in 2C:39-6 are irrelevant with respect to rifles and shotguns as you cannot be exempt from prosecution for an offence you are not committing. I am going to assume that you do not have an NJ permit to carry a handgun as almost nobody does. Therefore, for handguns the exemptions are all you have, so yes, you are limited to transporting as described in 2C:39-6.g and you must travel directly to/from. There was a clarification issued by the AG under Christie which described some of the circumstances where a deviation should be considered reasonable. https://www.state.nj.us/lps/dcj/agguide/transporting-firearms_guide.pdf If you have an FPIC, you are not using the exemptions, so the restrictions on the mode of transportation described in 2C:39-6 do not apply. Even Evan Nappen has said that driving down the street with a rifle held out of your car window is legal, inadvisable, but legal.

Have you read the statutes? You need to take the time to inform yourself. As a hint, look at 2C:39-2.

That's just your opinion.

That paragraph describes the method of securing a firearm when being transported under a number of clauses in that section. You have to read the whole thing. It begins with: So look back to see what 2C:39-5 says about handguns and rifles/shotguns: Note the 2 underlined parts. If you have a permit to carry a handgun, possession of a handgun is not a crime. Therefore, you cannot be exempted, because there is no offence to be exempted from. However, almost nobody ever gets a permit to carry a handgun so almost all of us have to work under the exemptions for handguns. If you have an FPIC, possession of a rifle or shotgun is not a crime. Therefore, you cannot be exempted, because there is no offence to be exempted from. Notice that there is no mention of a loaded handgun, therefore all handguns are treated the same, loaded or not which is how carry permit holders can carry loaded handguns - it is not until you are forced to transport under the exemptions that being unloaded is required for handguns. However, possession of loaded rifles or shotguns is specifically called out as an offence. The thing you may realize from this is that if you have an FPIC, you do not have to adhere to 2C:39-6.g and can have the unloaded rifle or shotgun uncased. That is not to say you wouldn't potentially get jammed up under another charge, such as causing a public alarm or disturbance if you were walking down Main St with it on a sling, but you're not committing a firearms offence per se. Now go back and read what HE and I have said before - do not take my word for any of this. I am not a lawyer and this advice is worth no more than what you paid me for it. Read the whole of 2C:39 and 2C:58 and the relevant parts of the Admin Code, and then decide for yourself whether you believe me or need to ask someone who is actually qualified to explain this.

This all day long and twice on Sunday! ESB, you will not get a complete understanding of what the laws are and are not through hearsay. There are more wildly incorrect rumors than there is truth out there. The three worse places you can ask about firearms law are, in no particular order: The gun store The internet (particularly a couple of really, really bad facebook groups) Your buddy who is a cop High Exposure already spelled that out several posts ago. njJoniGuy has said it too. You are responsible for your actions. If you get jammed up for breaking one or more of NJ's ridiculously complex gun laws you can't use the defense that you were told by one of the entities listed above. You're the one that will be paying the lawyers' bills and you'll be the one looking at jail time. Spend the time and do your own reading. Understand the statutes and then read and learn the administrative code too - that describes the rules under which the statutes are enforced. You can find the source material here: Statutes Administrative Code

Notwithstanding the list of "sensitive" locations where possession is prohibited (e.g. school, courthouse, federal building, etc.), what makes you think you cannot be in possession of an unloaded rifle having obtained an FPIC? If you do not have an FPIC you have to rely on the exceptions and exemptions. You may own a rifle and possess it an an exempt location, but you can't generally possess it as you travel around the State.

I don't think that was a thing when they wrote that statute in 1979.

The corollary to that is that the statutes also say that if you are relying on the existence of a permit to make what you're doing legal, the cops must assume that the permit does not exist until you prove that it does. Therefore, for expediency it is advisable to have it on you when you have a long gun in your possession.

I use a food saver, but have found that the seal it makes sometimes fails while it is in the freezer. For that reason, I run it twice to make 2 sealed lines about 1/2 inch apart. Otherwise it's great. Food is much less susceptible to freezer burn when it is vacuum sealed.

Maybe it's all about the muzzle flash - in which case make it an 8" .308.
