Mr.Stu

This can be an issue when the Police come calling to confiscate your guns, whether that's because of a ERPO or a TRO - a TRO is commonly used by soon to be ex-wives through no fault of your own to gain advantage in divorce negotiations. When the State Troopers came to my house with a TRO from my ex, it listed every handgun I had purchased in NJ - the PtPP is a "form of register" after all. If there's a gun on that list that they can't account for they will turn your house upside-down looking for it. Fortunately, I knew my ex would pull something like this so I had the paperwork handy to prove I had transferred everything to Gunsitters. The Police thanked me and left with just my FPIC without having to do a search. They also asked if I would be so kind to run down to the barracks in the morning so they could get a photocopy of the receipt I showed them.

Nowhere in NJ law does it say cases in the passenger compartment need to be locked. They only need to be fastened.

I drive an SUV and I just drive home with the gun in the fastened case. If its in the trunk, not in a case, the trunk has to be locked. The law says it must be in a fastened case, securely tied package (yes paper and string are legal) OR a locked trunk. Last time a bought a new Glock it rode home with me in it's case on the front seat. The next set of guns came home in zippered pistol slips because they were used and the original cases were not with them. The NJSP web site for some reason combines the Federal FOPA requirement of a locked case for inter-State transport with the intra-State NJ laws. Within NJ you are not able to travel under FOPA so the locked case requirement does not exist.

I have used a long shank padlock around the handle of a Glock case before. Is this for inter-State transport? For travel inside NJ you only need to close the latches to be legal.

I have a set of these. https://www.amazon.com/Shell-Sorter-380ACP-3pc-set/dp/B00BFN5TTI They work pretty well. There is an additional insert you can get to separate .380 from 9mm if you need it. .38 Special is caught by the rim in the .40 tray. What sort of shooting are you reloading for? If you are just making general pistol ammo there's not much need to sort headstamps. On the other hand it can make enough of a difference if you are reloading for the most precision you can attain.

It arrived. The cycling of the action is pretty potent - not as much as live fire, but sufficient to move the gun around and activate the slide catch if your thumb is not in the right place! I like it.

I'm waiting for a coolfire trainer to be shipped. I'll let you know if it's any good when I get it.

My mistake - I looked at the Benelli website and could only see pistol grip versions.

Usually the recommendation is to stick with Cylinder or Improved Cylinder when shooting slugs. Where are you? The M4 is not legal in NJ as a pistol grip on a semi-auto shotgun is deemed to make it an assault weapon.

Most guns do not ship with lube, excess or otherwise. They do come with a layer of corrosion preventative grease. This should be cleaned off with a gun cleaning solvent and a quality gun oil applied as per the gun manufacturer's instructions.

Refusing to leave when told justifies deadly force. It's in the statute. Castle doctrine is pretty strong in NJ.

The law is pretty clear, and not what many expect for NJ. This from the jury instructions for using lethal force in self defense in your home. "A reasonable belief exists when a defendant, to protect himself/herself or a third person, was in his/her own dwelling at the time of the offense or was privileged to be thereon, and the encounter between the defendant and intruder(s) was/were sudden and unexpected, compelling the defendant to act instantly, and the defendant reasonably believed that the intruder would inflict personal injury upon the defendant or others in the dwelling, or the defendant demanded that the intruder(s) disarm, surrender or withdraw, and the intruder(s) refused to do so." This boils down to 3 possibilities: 1. You were suddenly jumped in your own home, or a home where you are an invited guest 2. You reasonably perceive a threat from the intruder (i.e. you have a reason to think they are there to hurt you - it can't be a guess - e.g. they were carrying a gun or a knife) in your own home, or a home where you are an invited guest. 3. You told them to disarm, surrender or leave and they didn't do as instructed in your own home, or a home where you are an invited guest. I have been recommended to read The Law of Self Defense: The Indispensable Guide to the Armed Citizen by Andrew Branca. I have just started it and it looks very informative so far. Also check to see when the next class by Mike Wolhfert on the topic will be - he has been doing his class online and is tailored to just NJ https://www.justifiableforcetraining.com/upcomingevents

He's an old school career politician. Of course you shouldn't believe him. If he does what he says in campaign promises, what will he have left to promise next time?

To raise the herd IQ you need to get rid of people with an IQ higher than 100. 100 is the average IQ across everybody. But eliminating the smart ones the average intelligence will go down making the threshold for IQ 100 lower. Ergo more dumb people score higher in the tests.

It is built into the gas tax bill they passed under Christie. If revenues fall because of declining sales they increase the tax to compensate. They will take their pound of flesh, regardless of how big the body is.

So the correct response to having too much fuel on hand is to find other fuels to use instead of the stuff you have too much of and don't know what to do with. You give new meaning to special.

This is due to speculators who do not have any storage. They bought futures which were deliverable today with the expectation that they would sell them on at a profit before the realization date. With a huge amount of the world shut down, oil consumption has dropped precipitously and the storage facilities are filling or have filled up. The speculators are having to pay others to deal with the oil that they can't possibly take delivery on. These are the same type of speculators who drove up the oil price following the 2007 crash. They get no sympathy from me. What does it mean for the future? Nothing very good. There are a lot of facilities closing down because of lack of demand and lack of storage. When things start moving again there will be a ramp up time to get those facilities back up and running. Prices are going to seesaw I think.

This is NJ. You cannot do a FtF transfer without an FFL background check any more. The only exceptions are LEO to LEO or between family members.

My Benelli M1 Super 90 would run anything I put in it. No gas system to go wrong, see?

PM Sent - turns out this is not the ladder I'm looking for.

I can speak with authority here because I am a UK citizen with legal permanent resident status living in NJ. A non-immigrant person present in the US with a visa is not generally allowed to obtain or possess firearms. If you obtain LPR status you are eligible for many of the rights guaranteed to the citizens of the US by the constitution - 2A being one of them. As an LPR I still have to jump through all the legal hoops that a citizen does to obtain firearms in NJ - including FPIC and PtPP. I also have to provide my green card at an FFL when doing a background check to prove that I am here as an LPR, not a US citizen.

Tier 1 Defense definitely do this. I hear good things about the owner, Mike. https://tieronedefense.com/

The major difference is one word - "directly". The former does not contain the word, so you do not have to go directly to/from if you are a member of the appropriately affiliated club. This doesn't mean you can drive around continuously with a handgun in your car, but can allow for a more convenient trip. Non-club members are only allowed to make deviations that are reasonable in the circumstances. This is the reason ANJRPC has a non-range membership level. You can be a member of ANJRPC and gain the protection of being a club member without paying extra for the use of a range you don't want to use - it covers you going to/from and place of target practice, including your buddy's yard in the back of beyond.

Be cautious. Optics Planet are well known for saying they have things in stock when they don't. They will charge your card when you order, not when they get around to fulfilling it.

Don't call NJSP in Trenton. You did an illegal interstate transfer when you left the gun with your friend. There is no reason to call the cops and give them evidence against yourself.
