So was my town. 16 calendar days max for a set of P2Ps. I guess it comes down to whether or not you really need it before you get to leave. If you can afford to wait, I would.

I can see going through the FID / P2P process for your wife, since that's already in motion and the "inventory" is already at Steve's. But, if it's not yet on order and you really don't need it until after you move, I'd wonder why you would go through the trouble of getting P2P's, when you can get new items in NC without the hassle. Just get your CCW there and it's a snap. When I left NJ, I had one more P2P remaining (and, in fact, it was one that had been extended for the addl. 90 days). I took it with me to FL. I haven't framed it yet as a memento, but I probably will...

Very interesting article, and appearing in "Slate" no less???? I guess we'll have to see where this goes in the courts and if it gets up to SCOTUS. Still, I wonder if this is not more a "regional" issue. That is, is LE more likely to want to search/seize in places where the expectation of people carrying is much less (NJ, NY, etc.), and not so much in regions where there is a reasonable expectation of people carrying (i.e. places where carrying (either OC or CC) is SOP)? Down here, the LEOs who make traffic stops all know that people could be carrying. And if they ask and are told the truth, most will just say "keep it there and your hands away from it..." and proceed from there. Some may even strike up a conversation with you about it. But I get that in areas where carry is not expected that it might invoke that response from LE. This is why I have always said, even if the 2A Gods were to waive their magic wands and make NJ "Shall issue" and "Open Carry" tomorrow, it still wouldn't work all that well, initially. It will take a bit of a cultural evolution to make it sufficiently SOP as to not cause those responses from LE or the public in general.

Just as they're currently doing on NCIS... Always good to get your face on the "hot show..."

I have it on DVD, so I can watch it whenever. But it looks like it can be rented for $2.99 on Vudu.

That, and his role in the movie "Run Silent... Run Deep."

Fox News: Comedian Don Rickles passes away at age 90... Most remember his comedy, but not all remember his beginnings as an actor, playing one of the crew of the submarine in the classic WWII Clark Gable / Burt Lancaster film, "Run Silent... Run Deep." This, and his role as "Crap Game" in the Clint Eastwood classic "Kelly's Heores." "You win a cookie!" Godspeed Don.

Of course, the reporter did that. They're trying to attack SYG at all fronts. So, as long as they think the "sheeples" will believe it's a SYG matter, they'll try to pitch it that way, right or wrong, just to stir the pot.

But, if they're an "anti" LEA, they could nail you for the tiniest, most minuscule exposure to a 2nd degree misdemeanor. Now, it's a non-crimnial offense... at least for the first two occurrences. We'll have to see how it affects 790.06 and 790.053.

Update: HB-779 (FL House's equivalent bill to SB-646) was read a 2nd time on the House floor this afternoon. It now moves to its final "3rd reading" on the House floor and then the vote. Also, at this same session, another related 2A bill (SB-128) was substituted for the House Bill equivalent (HB-245), regarding "immunity from prosecution" in Self Defense cases. An amendement was passed, lowering the "burden of proof" std. by the prosecution from "beyond a reasonable doubt" to "clear and convincing evidence..." This, to appease opponents who probably would vote against the bill, believing that the standard is too high for prosecutors. It is also now on its way to a 3rd reading and a vote. We shall see....

Actually, it's very easy to compare FL to NJ as many if not most of the legislators and LE brass that are "anti" moved down here *from* NY/NJ... as did most of their constituents! Again, I'm not saying that it's "cast in stone," but it is my experience. And, again, as far as a given town is concerned, it's really up to the CLEO, and many of them want to be on the "politically correct" side of this... which, to them, means an "anti" position. That said, the closer you get to "major urban areas" (cities, surrounding suburbs, etc.), the higher the anti sentiment. Further away (Warren, Hunterdon, Sussex, Somerset, part of Morris Counties) seem to be more on the Pro-2A side. I lived in Warren County, and my former CLEO was very pro-2A. All paperwork was returned within 2-3 calendar weeks.

Precisely.

IME, the closer one gets to major urban areas (e.g. cities like Newark, Camden, Trenton, etc.), the more "anti" the sentiment among the LE "rank & file." This, in re: risk while working those urban areas, and the need to keep "control" and ensure safer communities. Additionally, one might find more "anti" sentiment among the "Sr. management" of most LEAs (Chief, Sheriff, etc.)... at least publicly, as that would be the "politically correct" stance against crime and criminals, in general. Again, there are always exceptions, but this has been my overall experience. We have similar issues here in FL as well. Several of the Sheriffs of larger counties that contain major cities (Hillsborough (Tampa), Dade (Miami), Orange (Orlando), Pinellas (St. Petersburg)) are all pretty much anti-2A, as is most of the "Florida Sheriffs Association." But some FL Sheriffs are very much pro-2A (Brevard County, Pasco County), and others. It just depends.

The other issue to be concerned with, relative to each state, is whether or not you must voluntarily inform a LEO that you are carrying if stopped. handgunlaw.us prominently displays this at the very top of each state's entry, and goes into further detail in the body. That is, in some states, if stopped by a LEO, you are required by law to notify said LEO immediately (and voluntarily) that you are carrying, and display both DL and CCW card. In some other states, you are not required to notify immediately, but only "if asked by" or "upon demand of" the LEO (i.e. "Are you carrying any weapons?" or, "Are there any weapons in the car?")... At that point, I'd strongly urge you to answer in the affirmative if you are, indeed carrying, and then follow the LEO's instructions.

Another worthy successor to The "Far Side" (which I dearly miss) is "Close to Home."

Mine was 6-8 weeks after sending in, but that was 03/2014. Could be different now. If you ask nice when you call, they'll tell you what app date they're working on at the moment. Same for AZ.

Nothing.... Just wondering if you had decided what you wanted to do while your wife was gone.... because, as of Sunday, she won't be....

Ya know.... today is 03/30. I gather your wife is returning in two days, right? Have you figured it out yet???

Trust me, you'll love the freedoms.... Congrats on the move!

You really need to research each state for ammunition laws. Search on hangunlaw.us as mentioned above. They have a lot more detailed information on the gun laws of each state. If they don't have an answer, they can point you towards the laws involved.

Audrey Gibson is a Dem. from the 6th distict in Jacksonville and a strong Anti-gun person.... She won't vote yes on any pro-gun bills. Same with Sen's Thurston, Bracy and Powell.

Arrgghh! Action on the bill was postponed in today's meeting! It will have to be rescheduled in another meeting. This tells me that there are some language issues still being worked on, or some amendments to consider...

The Judiciary Committee meeting has begun. All committee members are present. There are 6 MDA members visible in the audience, four of which are in seats directly behind the petitioner's lectern so they can bee seen by the camera focusing on it. It will be a while, because the bill is 2nd to last on the agenda. Most likely because it generates the most discussion/debate. You can watch it live on the Florida Channel Website.

Fair enough. It won't matter to me much, because neither my "inventory" nor my 2A $$$ will ever set foot on NJ soil, ever again... EVER!

What some have done in this case (and in no way do I endorse it because I have no idea if it actually works of it it's legal), is to get a PA Driver License with the PA address (and be a PA resident), but get a NJ "Boating license" (with the NJ address) to use for their NJ FID and other docs. Again, I have no idea if this will work in re: Real ID restrictions of today. Technically, one is only supposed to be primary domiciled in "one" and only "one" state.... for tax, voter registration and other purposes. If you live/establish residency for a total of 183+ days in a given year in one state, then that's your primary domicile state. You'd best be able to prove to the Govt. that you did, in fact, live 183+ days in that state (bills, receipts, grocery tapes, etc. etc.). It should also be the state where your are registered to vote. Granted, it probably would take the govt. a bit of time and effort to catch up with someone trying to claim dual state residency, but that person runs the risk of them doing so and paying the price for that.
