Mr.Stu

Show me an NJ gun law that does.

You are reading it correctly. Part b.(1) is enjoined by the preliminary injunction so carrying in a car is allowed. Part b.(2) is not enjoined, so it is still in effect.

Where are you getting that from? The statute I quoted is from here: https://lis.njleg.state.nj.us/nxt/gateway.dll/statutes/1/2750/3546?f=templates&fn=default.htm&vid=Publish:10.1048/Enu This is the state's own repository for the statutes.

There is no requirement for people who already have their permit to submit an SP.182a. The statute calls for the PD to determine the gun(s) you intend to carry as part of the application process. You are not applying. You are merely complying with the change in training requirements. I can understand the reluctance to acknowledge every unnecessary thing they receive, and I can particularly understand ignoring unnecessary stuff received on Christmas day.

I think you have answered your own question. So long as the box is out of sight when under the seat, why not? Also note, the statute says nothing about being tethered to the vehicle. It says one option is a securely fastened case - a soft pistol slip with the zipper closed would suffice. I'm not saying that is the best idea, just taking the words of the statute on their face. The statute speaks only about the firearm. There is no stipulation on what you must or must not do with the magazine.

So you made me look it up - ya bugger! 2C:58-4.6 Prohibited areas, carrying, firearms, destructive device. 7. Places where the carrying of a firearm or destructive device is prohibited. ... b. (1) A person, other than a person lawfully carrying a firearm within the authorized scope of an exemption set forth in subsection a., c., or l. of N.J.S.2C:39-6, who is otherwise authorized under the law to carry or transport a firearm shall not do so while in a vehicle in New Jersey, unless the handgun is unloaded and contained in a closed and securely fastened case, gunbox, or locked unloaded in the trunk of the vehicle. (2) A holder of a valid and lawfully issued permit to carry a handgun shall not leave a handgun outside of their immediate possession or control within a parked vehicle, unless the handgun is unloaded and contained in a closed and securely fastened case, or gunbox, and is not visible from outside of the vehicle, or is locked unloaded in the trunk or storage area of the vehicle. Part b.(1) was blocked by the preliminary injunction, but part b.(2) was not. It is pretty clear that leaving a loaded gun in your vehicle is not allowed (emphasis added)

That says handgun OR ammunition. A loaded gun is a handgun AND ammunition. I think you're on dicey ground if anyone broke into your car and took your loaded gun. I don't think we should have to disarm anywhere. These so-called sensitive places where we're supposedly going to find significant numbers of vulnerable people are precisely where responsible, law abiding adults SHOULD be carrying.

NJNICS is closed on Sundays so even if the FFL is open the BG check won't start until Tuesday.

Doesn't the dust cover defeat the purpose? You're not going to do a very quick mag change if you have to pry the mag cover off mid way.

What did I say that was wrong, even a little bit? They do use d-m-y in Europe. The m-d-y method is used in the US. I never said it was used exclusively. The US military also use Zulu time (AKA GMT or UTC - minor differences, but close enough for government work). Does that mean EST doesn't exist? or that daylight savings doesn't kick in every year?

Maybe it is that after nabbing as many rocket scientists as we could after WWII, we're still taking newer weapon technology from an Austrian?

Which leads to the uninformed believing that the AR-15 is the same as the M16.

I guessed so too, but words have meanings and we are constantly under attack from the gun banners using the tactic of changing language to suit their purposes. I am constantly irritated by people, even those who are supposedly on our side, saying that people are killed BY guns. They are not killed BY a gun. They are killed BY a person WITH a gun. However, by subtly changing the language, the gun becomes the evil thing, not the person wielding it, and so gun bans gain support. How about banning evil people?

An 'other' with a stock would be an SBR. That's the whole point of a pistol brace. It is not a stock.

In Europe the date notation is in order of increasing duration - i.e. day.month.year This is at least logical compared to the US method.

This is a conundrum. If you are concealed, sure, for the most part nobody will know. Until that is, you need to defend yourself when some very loud noises will probably give it away. If you think that you won't need to defend yourself, why carry the gun in the first place? Realizing that there is a risk is part of why we carry - not because we expect trouble, but we cannot be sure there won't be any. The answer might be that you're willing to take the risk of being prosecuted if it saves your life. You're likely to face some kind of legal consequences after a DGU in NJ, whether it is criminal or civil regardless of what the county prosecutor says. It will help your case if you start from a position of legally carrying rather than not. Another answer might be to just not go there in the first place. Everybody has to make that risk assessment for themselves.

The guy with the gun, even if he has a permit, could be in a lot of trouble. Costco's policy is no firearms in their premises, including the gas stations. It could be easily argued that this guy was not just parking up and securing his unloaded handgun.

That's what I carry. It is also listed as FBI duty ammo.

Joe Savio of Modern Materiel and GST has done stippling in the past. I don't know if he still does.

Well, CCARE is the shooting qualification. The use of force class is probably what you mean, and there is nothing saying they have to be done on the same day.

For what it's worth (not much legally speaking) the new Winchester offering would not be permissible under NJ's ban on hollowpoints. The definition does not specifically say a single cavity, and it looks like the Winchester round has 6 cavities. Also, the plug does not reach all the way to the nose of the bullet, so I think it fails there too.

The magazine limit applies only to the magazine. Having another round in the chamber is fine. Conversely, having a magazine capable of feeding more than 10 rounds into a semi-auto firearm is a felony, regardless of whether you own or possess the firearm. People need to use caution. E.g. the Ruger American Ranch rifle uses the same magazines as an AR-15. You cannot have a 30 round mag for the Ruger, because the magazine can feed a semi-auto, regardless of whether that's what you're doing with it.

No issue with either

They thought of that and the CO2 cylinder stays sealed until the first shot. The pressure required on the trigger to pierce the cylinder is unpublished. The drawback is that there is no way to be sure the cylinder is properly seated and sealed until after attempting that first shot - or even if it had gas in it to start with.

It looks a good deal wider than a 1911, but it is what it is. I would be concerned that their website only mentions a 6.5lb second trigger pull. The first pull has to pierce the CO2 cylinder so I'm guessing that is heavier. How much heavier? Clearly more than they are willing to say publicly. You say you're 78 years old, and if I remember correctly, you have arthritis which effects your hand strength. If I were you, I would want to be sure that I could get the first shot off before I paid money for one of these. Their website doesn't say how much OC is in each ball. Just so you know, you may not carry more than 3/4oz in NJ. The MAX ammo contains CS gas - you cannot carry that legally in NJ. You will be limited to the Pepper ammo if you want to stay legal. I don't know where you got that info from, but it is highly optimistic. Pepper spray may deter an attacker but there is by no means a guarantee on that. As @124gr9mm said, you may just piss off your attacker even more. Maybe OC will deter your attacker for up to 45 minutes, but it might also not work at all - 0-45 minutes would be more accurate. At 78 years old, I don't know how far or fast you can run, but I'm going to guess not that far or fast compared to the common criminal. My personal opinion is that the Byrna is a gimmick. If you want to carry a less-than-lethal option, I would suggest a more traditional and proven method, such as a Kimber Pepperblaster. I would also carry a firearm to deal with the attacker who wants to escalate after being sprayed.
