Yes, for anything that "Ships from and [is] sold by Amazon.com LLC." That happened because Amazon.com built two huge warehouses in New Jersey and, therefore, acquired NJ "tax nexus." However, if you look carefully, you might be able to find the same item being sold by a partner of Amazon's that doesn't have tax nexus (i.e. "Sold by 'shippingpartner.com' and fulfilled by Amazon.com" or "ships by shippingpartner.com"). In those cases, tax won't be collected, but you'd still owe it as "use tax" on your NJ 1040. I have Amazon Prime also. I use it for the "streaming video" primarily (I have a Roku) and I like the free "2-day" delivery, like you say.

I'll also try to make it. I'll bring drinks and (if I can get them), clays. I don't have an ice chest so I hope others can bring ice. Looking forward to meeting you all.

So what's next... any more remedies in the court? An injunction, perhaps? Escalation to higher courts? And how did Ms. Simon vote, if she cast a vote?

So what happened at that second meeting?

I am very pleased to report that all went very well at Heritage Guild, this afternoon. I stopped by on my way home from my Florida trip, and got in some good range time. No issues renting, and I made more RSO friends there. I will shortly "begin the bureaucracy." Then it won't be an issue anymore. Thanks all.

Is there a legal way for one's local PD to not be aware of one's firearms? Is local PD made aware of every transaction? Any difference for handguns, long guns, FTF transactions, or long guns bought FTF out of state? I haven't seen the film yet so, perhaps, these questions might be "pre-mature." Were the LEOs simply sweeping all houses "door to door" to check for Katrina victims/survivors (and subsequently seizing all weapons they found in unoccupied houses), or were they targeting specific houses (where they knew weapons existed) and confiscating them with people still in the houses? If the former, I'll bet their argument was, "Well, we just wanted to ensure the weapons weren't 'looted' while the houses were unoccupied." Not saying that's right... just saying that's how they probably rationalized it. Of course, there's the matter of "returning" the weapons to their rightful owners..... I hear reports of the BATFE visiting these FFLs with digital cameras and demanding to see the books (and taking pictures of the pages).... de facto/unofficial "national registration"...

I'm thinking it's not the people who favor these "smart" guns that are the ones who'd actually want/appreciate a shot at that 10-point monster!

He would need the FID to buy ammo for it, if he wanted to, right?

I had one. Until I bought an SUV which didn't fit anymore. They're a little short, or my SUV was a little tall.

Randolph Twp has a very nice garden apt. complex called "Gateways." 44 Center Grove Rd." Only 1-2 miles to the Dover train station.

In essence, it was the "standard" for the NJSP during the "Col. Clinton Pagano" era. I assume most of the local depts. followed the NJSP's lead. Mine (during that era) did not, and had both red & blue. I recall a time when the Penn. St. Police had the solitary "tall rotating light" at the top of the roof.

I would think the more important concern in re: "impersonators" would be whether or not the officer driving the unit is "in uniform." If they were not (i.e. they're in "plain clothes,") and driving an unmarked vehicle on "traffic patrol," I would be a little worried. In my former town (where I was an EMT), all the officers (even the detectives, Chief, LT's, etc.) had to do some patrol time at selected intervals, during the year, and had to do it "in uniform." I make it a point to observe the uniforms in towns/places I frequent often, to know what one looks like.

I was talking to a North Carolinian yesterday at a dive site. There are some similarities to NJ (3 different background checks including pyschological). You do have to get the equivalent of an FID. But the best route he says is to acquire a CCW. That takes the place of the FID and permits. Once CCW'ed, you should be GTG.

Let us truly hope mine is the same.

My apologies.... "Magazine." Original post edited.

I think #7 might be the one which would cause my references the most grief, and make them less likely to fill it out.

Thank you. I am none of those things , and I do live where my ID will (in two weeks) say I do (change of address successfully filed... no more PO box listed). And, since I own my own business, the employer they'd be calling is me, anyway. The only concern then is if they actually attempt to contact my nosy "next door neighbors," unbeknownst to me (I've heard reports of that). What I do is none of their business, and my Pro 2A thing is something I really don't care for them to know, for a number of reasons.

Can anyone tell me if the "questionnaires" (if written) are one common "state" form, or is it something made up by each municipality (perhaps a common form for anyone who uses NJSP)? I'm curious as to what questions they ask of your "references." I can think of the references I might want to use but, based on the questions contained therein, they might not want to answer some of them, or have that info. kept on file anywhere.... I assume the questionnaires are returned to the local chief, who keeps them for him/herself (as opposed to being forwarded for collection / data aggregation to the state). Anyway, thoughts appreciated...

Magazine sizes are a tricky subject, in general, for both sides. The only time a certain mag size truly matters is when one is actually under fire / exchanging fire, and how many are exchanging fire on each side. At that point, it's about ensuring that you don't have to worry about breaking concentration (and fire), needing to reload more often than your opponent. Otherwise, without that pressure, one can reload "at their leisure" as much / as many times as they want. Unfortunately, both sides can use the same argument to facilitate their respective agendas, both as a matter of safety *and* self-defense. The "anti's," who want smaller mags for anyone (except active LE), are reacting I believe to "Newtown" type incidents where someone goes in and sprays fire all over the place. The problem, of course, being, without someone there offering "counter fire" against the "sprayer," it doesn't matter what the sprayer's mag sizes are. If their reloading skills are good enough, they (bad guy) can sit there all day and reload with no fear. Is it truly realistic to believe than an unamred person could approach a bad guy (while they're reloading) and take the gun away? But if someone is there to offer counter fire (i.e. "good guy with a gun"), then it's on, and it comes down to how quickly both sides can reload and how often they need to (and, thus, break concentration/fire). The "pro-2A" folks, of course, want sizes that minimize their need to "reload" in similar home / self defense (or other "target shooting/competition") scenario(s). That, as well as the general fighting against "restriction of 2A rights" issue. I support that fight in the fullest. I don't think that limiting magazine sizes is going to help combat Newtown like scenarios. I think what will be more of a help there is having more good guys closer by to offer that "counter fire." The sooner a bad guy can be confronted by a good guy, the better. Likewise, don't restrict my ability to defend myself in the process. I can easily see a home defense scenario (2-3 armed invaders breaking in) where 7-10 rounds per reload would be totally insufficient. And, unless the anti's are going to pay for a "private security" firm for me, , I don't think they should be telling me how many rounds I can load. It's my perception of "safety" that matters, not theirs.

Does such a thing even exist? I would think that collecting the kind of data needed to make it meaningful would come perilously close to being a "national registry." I'd love to be able to have something like it to evaluate "pre-owned" pieces, sort of like "CarFax" (with used cars)... But not to be....

Thank you. I appreciate the thoughtful reply. I don't want to start a debate on this issue here... I was just interested in the story. I pass through Whitehouse Sta. a lot on my way to other places. I'm familiar with it. My sister lives in Annandale. Where I live, there is no such concern, thankfully. And, thankfully, all my state reps. (I've actually had dinner with all three once) are strong pro-2A, as is my US Congress person. Thanks again.

OK, I have seen this before, even for a "commercial" airport. Almost 40 yrs. ago, on Martha's Vineyard, there was the same opposition to "jets" for similar reasons (mostly for cutting out about 5000ft. of State Forest land. They had no issues with private jets (i.e Lear, Gulfstream variety), but did with something as large as a DC9 or greater. In fact, Delta operated the one and only DC9 that was allowed to operate at that airport. Due to the length of the runway, it had to operate on special rules (weight limitations, etc.). It had to do a "carrier takeoff" to get off the ground (ie.go to full thrust with the breaks on and then release them suddenly, from the very far end of that runway). I don't believe there has been a commercial jet of that size, since.

So, what are Readington's underlying reasons for not wanting the Airport? Drain on municipal services? Potential for catastrophe in the event of a serious crash? Control issue, maybe? Other reasons? Why would a township not want an airport if they already have one?

Because the stealing of citizens' property is usually about $$$. Gun rights aren't really about $$$ as much. And if she breaks the 7th commandment, then she's going to have a bit of a problem with her husband... ... Perhaps, you meant the "8th?" Although, I'd probably add the "10th" commandment as the underlying force for her actions.

I'm not disagreeing. We shouldn't have to.
