As did my former reps.

Ah, fair enough. That's about what it takes for me to get to Charlotte.

I think as long as you keep them locked up and hidden, and take the advice I and others have given, you shouldn't have a problem transporting them and staying overnight. Of course, it is a risk that you might be stopped, but, if you take the route I mentioned, it is less likely that you'd be stopped for something other than a traffic violation, of which you are, ultimately, in control. BTW, if I may ask, from where are you starting that it takes 8 hours? From my former home near Hackettstown, it was 1/2 that time to arrive at the Captial Beltway. I would Drive Rt. 57 to US-22 and town the Penn.Tpk. Northeast Ext. I-476, to I-495 to I-95 and then down the route I mentioned above. 4 hrs max.

^^^^^^ This. And avoid traveling through the Harbor Tunnels... which you should be able to do, if you are going to the Gaylord. If this is the Gaylord National Harbor Convention center, 201 Oxford St. Oxon Hill, MD 20745, then it's perfect. Take the following route: If you're crossing the Del. Memorial Bridge, or coming down I-95 from Penn., then 1) Take Del Route 1 to Del. Route 896 West. 2) Follow Route 896 West to US 301 South. 3) Follow US 301 South all the way through Del, and Enter MD there. 4) Continue on US 301 South All the way to where it meets US 50 W and across the Chesapeake Bay Bridge. 5) Continue on US 50 West through to the Capital Beltway (I-495). 6) Take The Capital Beltway (I-495) South to Ex. 38, and that should dump you within a couple of miles to the Gaylord. The point being, You want to avoid the Harbor tunnels. The MTAP use ALPR cameras which can tag you as a FL CWFL owner, if you've had yours for a long time. Refer to this Thread about John Fillipidis.

As did I.

Apparently, they succeeded. Bearing Arms - NJ Lawmakers Deny appeal to fix 2nd Amendment Infringement...

Very interesting thread. And considering what I discovered recently in re: a different forum to which I belong. First, I know most won't agree, but my family has always been a "doberman" family. My grandparents had a pair, "Duke & Duchess." And all throughout my growing up, we had dobies. We never had a problem with them being in the family or any issues with visitors. The only exception being the "service/delivery/meter reader" folks that had to visit. They couldn't stand our dobies, but it never caused them any troubles. Certainly, they aren't for everyone, but we love them, as do many others. So much so, that I found a "doberman lovers" forum a while back. And what makes that interesting is that I discovered by accident that a majority of the doberman forum members are, as it turns out, "Pro-2A!" We're having quite a few "pro-2A" discussion on that forum!!! Go figure....

Agreed. I don't think they'd be so as to dump the entire brand and name.... I'm sure we'll still see the name on the products that division makes. Just not on the "annual report" or in the Stock Market.

Youtube is a wonderful thing... Fox News Chanel - National Anthem.

Threaten to cut back on all the "free stuff..."

This may seem weird but, believe it or not, Fox News channel still does the "National Anthem" (although I don't care for this particular arrangement) like most of the broadcast networks used to do when they actually went off the air in the late night (and came back in the early morning). FNC does it every Sat. & Sun. morning at 5:58a. The video has a rep. from each of the armed forces saluting at the end (i.e. "O'r the land of the freeeeeee..."). Whenever I can catch it, I'll stand at attention and salute.

I think NJ's issues are a little more complex than that. It's going to require considerable cultural change "outside" the pro-gun/2A community for us, eventually, to have what we want. I think what keeps the "anti" legislators in power and voting the way they do are two things. First, the number of "sheeples" that exist only to get "free stuff" from the politicians who keep them in office. It's a "symbiotic" relationship between the two. Second, you mentioned the LE community in CO. The difference in NJ is that there are more "inner city" areas concentrated here than most (NJ is the most densely populated state, after all), and the LE community is more likely to be "anti" there than elsewhere. You can see this even internally in NJ itself (Northern & Western counties have much more pro 2A LE than closer to NYC). And that's also a big influence on much of the legislature as well. I think that sentiment is very much culturally ingrained within that segment of the NJ LE community and similar communities in the Northeast and Mid Atlantic. It's going to take something on an "evolutionary" scale to change that, I think. Something that I don't think will happen in the remainder of my lifetime. Hence, my move to FL. Not that that's guaranteed "safe" either... we have to stay constantly vigilant, lest all those sheeples move down here and start the process all over again. You can see it in Southern Florida, Jacksonville, Tallahassee, etc. I can't begin to tell you how many FL legislators are retired LEOs from NYC...

Ant - Quick question. Are you no longer updating this page with the epsiosdes? The last two don't seem to be there.... http://www.gunforhireradio.com/season6.html No biggie, I'll just download from wherever you tell me to. Thanks. Regards, Hbec.

Precisely. Still, I'll clarify and say, "any weapon for which you have it." Point being, The feds can require NJ to "honor" any out of state carry permit or license. OK, so the document itself is valid in NJ. But that won't do any good if the weapons (any of them) that would be used with it are still illegal to possess and use in NJ. And, by the current NJ law and list of exemptions to it, such weapons would still be illegal. Now, can "national reciprocity" cause changes to those specific laws and exemptions regarding possession & use of the weapon? That will be an interesting dog fight between NJ and the feds...

Again, it isn't about the "stated objective" (preventing suicides). It's about the "underlying objective" (shutting down private ranges and reduce activities on them). That done, then there is one less reason why private citizens should possess guns... no more ranges. All towards the "end game" objective... CONFISCATE...CONFISCATE...CONFISCATE... Always keep the end game in mind.

Precisely! The last thing they are is stupid. They know *exactly* what they're doing. They're just trying to convince the sheeples that it's something else... something the sheeples can accept (suicide prevention), as opposed to, "We're trying to shut down gun ranges" (what they're really trying to do). Always, always, keep the "end game" in mind.... CONFISCATE....CONFISCATE...CONFISCATE....

That wouldn't matter so much to the "out of state" person, because none would dare bring their weapons into NJ to shoot them, since they'd be illegal (i.e. no "permanent domicile" for them to be transported to), for the most part. I know mine (even those that originated in NJ) will never see NJ soil, ever again.... EVER! Which brings up an interesting point. Even if national reciprocity is passed, one way NJ can defeat it is by keeping the current "exemption structure" for firearms in place. Yes, you might have a valid out of state carry license/permit, but what good will that do if you still can't possess the weapon for which you have it? Unless they change the exemptions to include "any person who has a valid out of state carry license or permit may possess and carry a handgun in places other than their permanent domicile, business or range, shop, etc." Which, of course, they'll never do. And the feds can't stop it because that has nothing to do with recognizing an out of state carry permit. "Sure, we recognize the permit... we just don't allow you to possess the gun for which you have it."

Precisely their objective. Always keep the "end game" in mind....

Fair enough....

Well, not quite. You have to have a "learner's permit" to "practice" driving. You apply for that at the Agency (most Driver's Ed. programs at high schools will do that for you). Then you must pass the written test and vision check. I assume you should have also had some education in driving, somewhere to be able to pass the written test, if not high school driver's ed. Once you pass the written test and vision check, the permit is then stamped for "practice driving," where you can drive with another licensed driver riding "shotgun." You should be able to bring any car to the road test as long as you have the registration and insurance card with you. At least, that's how it worked when I got my NJ DL in the mid 70's Sure, you can. As long as you have the car's registration and insurance card with you when you take it. I used my father's VW Beetle to take the road test at the Lodi office.

Not so fast with the airplanes. I don't travel by air near as much as I used to. Air travel sucks, these days. I'd prefer to drive.

The only difference between a "bedroom" and a "roomette" is that the bedroom comes with a private bath (an enclosed shower/toilet and a sink on the outside), and it's a little more roomier. It has a full length sofa which extends out to an almost "full size" bed. One of the things I liked about it is that I could take on a lot more "carry on" luggage than most, as long as I didn't need assistance schlepping it up and down the stairs. Some of the attendants would balk and say, "carry ons are limited' but I'd remind them that I'm in a bedroom by myself. The "sofa," BTW, faces only one way, and there's a fixed chair seat opposite it. If you're someone who needs to "face forward" to not be disoriented when riding, then ask for an "B" or "D" unit when traveling south, and a "C" or "E" unit when traveling north. This isn't an issue for the roomettes, which have two equivalent sofa seats that face each other). You can fit two people on one side.... if they really love each other... That's actually important because a lot of people don't realize the potential for "motion sickness" when riding. I made sure I always brought some "Bonine" with me (OTC version of Dramamine).

These bills are bad on so many levels. A person visiting NJ from out of state (who wouldn't necessarily have an FID) might not be allowed to shoot (i.e. borrow a partner's weapons or rent a weapon). That is, assuming the law would permit only NJ FID's to be accepted by LGSs or ranges, etc. (as opposed to an out of state carry permit). I think, when visiting my last remaining family, I'll be staying and shooting in PA.

It's possible that you snuck in while the dog was patrolling inside the terminal or taking a break. Every so often, they bring it inside to cool off and relax, especially on hot days. So, you were in "coach" for the train ride? It's Ok, but nothing beats a sleeping car room. Yeah, it costs extra, but for the peace & quiet.... Also, how long did it take for them to get your car after they started unloading? But very glad you made it down without difficulty. Do you have all your "inventory" with you?

Fairly accurate for any county with a large "inner city" population (Essex, Union, Hudson, Middlesex. Passaic Camden, Bergen, etc.), assuming all other things happening ASAP. Counties like Warren, Hunterdon, Sussex, etc. probably have faster turnarounds as their county adjusters' offices are, more than likely, not as busy.
