Welcome from Warren County, NJ !

I have seen RO's attempt to adjust people's positions in the port if someone to the left is hitting their neighbor. It happens to me all the time, and I don't care. But it was happening to my 18 y/o niece as well. They got the guy to move slightly to the left in his port.

Trust me, they absolutely do in my district.... (24th)....

Firearm Owners Protection Act (FOPA) - It says it all. As long as you may legally possess the weapons in both the state of origin and the destination, you are covered for all travel in between. But, DO NOT STOP for any significant time in any state in between, or you may be subject to the laws of that state. For example, if you decide you want to "overnight" somewhere prior to arriving in VA, you would be subject to the laws of that state. Personally, I would not stop in Maryland at all.. not even for fuel or food. In fact, depending on where you will be staying in VA, I may choose a route of travel that minimizes my time traveling through MD. If it's somewhere near the Roanoke area or on the way, I'd take I-78 all the way through Penn. to I-81, and drop down to VA that way. That would give you far less time in MD (12.08 miles, 10-15 min straight through, by Haggerstown). If you need to go to the Richmond, Norfolk, or VA Beach areas, you may as well take I-95. But if possible, come down the Eastern Shore route (US 301/50) and across the Chesapeake Bay Bridge, straight across US50 West to the Cap. Beltway, and then down to I-95. I would NOT go through the Baltimore tunnels... Enjoy.. Stay Safe.

Sort of like a "state level" version of the "Electoral College..." It would certainly level the playing field of the remainder of the State against the major urban cities, which is why I think it will be strongly resisted by those politicos that benefit from that.

I'm sure much of that is all "behind the scenes" work that is going on in order to ensure no mis-matches or issues, etc. Actually, since the voter registry doesn't store photographs, it is quite possible for an Asian person with a name Guillermo Lopez to come in and vote. Now, the age difference might be a problem if the voter registry stores birth dates. I don't recall seeing it on my record.

That's it.... you would falsify information... you could identify yourself as someone whom you were not, but who had legal credentials and may have registered but had died, or moved away, or something like that. It might not personally benefit you, but it might benefit the person you voted for, or the political organization that sponsored the person you voted for (and who as trying to get elected). The who gets the most votes is the one who wins the election. And the voting machine doesn't know who's who. The "register book" is the last checkpoint. In my polling place, a ID is not required for voting at a given election. As long as your name is in the registry book and the signatures match (you have to sign each time), you're good to go. Although, in my polling place, the officials pretty much know everyone. They've been at this for years.

At this point in time, I think many if not most would argue that current practices (even with exceptions for felons, non citizens, etc) are so "institutionalized" that that they *are* now, DE-facto "rights," at least for those who "qualify." That is not to say that one can't ever be "disqualified" from exercising a right. Is that not what "Capital Punishment" is about? One does something so egregious that they forfeit their "right to life..." Or they forfeit their right to "liberty" by being incarcerated. Isn't that one of the arguments behind of all this "open border" policy? To allow those people in, magically make them citizens so they can exercise their "right to vote" for the govt. that brought them into the country (i.e. "dance with the <partner> that brung'em)???

That may have been "the way it was..." but it doesn't make it "right." At least, not from the teens' perspective. You can thank the Viet-Nam era and the MSM coverage of it for this. It kinda woke up the teens to say "Hey.... if we're the ones doing the dying, we ought to get a say in how things are run." Then why are the words "right to vote" plastered all over the constitutional amendments? Voting *is* a constitutional right, it would seem. And since that "right" to vote "shall not be denied or abridged on account of sex (I really wish they'd have used the word "gender" instead... ), or age (if 18+), or failure to pay a poll tax," etc. etc... it's had to argue that it's just a "privilege." States may be setting standards for voting, but are they doing so constitutionally? Is it, perhaps, that no one has challenged them yet? Do you have a death wish???? :D

OK, Dumb question of the day... I bought my 1st brick of CCI Mini mags (.22LR) recently (i.e. the one with Troy Landry on it sayng "Choot'Em". I've come to find out that, technically, they are "hollow points." It says so on the packaging, and they sure look like microscopic hollow points. Are these then subject to NJ restrictions on hollow point ammo? Is there any other kind of .22LR ammo I should be buying instead of this to comply with NJ regs (if necessary)? And, no, none of you need to help me "fix the problem" by relieving me of my remaining inventory! :D

#1 is a deal breaker from the onset! There are movements now to lower the voting age even further (below 18), as it is their belief that they're the ones who will inherit the mess the world is left in by the present adult population. They want representation *now*, before he problems get any worse. This, and you'd also have to raise the "military service" age to 30 also. The whole point of lowering the voting age to 18 (as well as the "age of adulthood/majority") was that if 18y/o's could go fight and die in our country's wars, they ought to have the right to vote and be considered "legal adults." #2 I assume you mean "government handouts" as opposed to "general income." I would certainly hope that all of us take in a whole lot more "general income" in than we pay in taxes. #3 From an earlier post of mine, you're probably going to have some constitutional problems with this one. It can be seen as "discriminatory." Remember the "poll tax" amendment? #4 - I don't have a problem with this one. I actually like it.

Yeah, it this were me, I'd have those cones say their prayers, because at least one of them would be about meet their maker...

Best of luck. Talk to them and see if you can, at least, take the FL classroom part, etc. Maybe they'll let you just make up the live fire portion later and then notarize your docs. Or, maybe, someone on the range might be "magnanimous,,,," :D As long as they stand with you.... But FL is a good one to have. $112. but it's good for 7 years. The others are only 5. Just sayin'. it would be a shame to have to pay the training fee all over again if you didn't have to...

yes, FL requires Live fire... See Question 6 of the FLDACS CCW form. The Quinton course I mentioned will provide it for you, but you must bring your own hand gun and ammo.

There will be quite a few people that take only the UT portion. That's why they do it first. All they do after that is add the state specific portions for the other states. And that's mostly about how to fill out the specific app forms for that state, as well as the FBI fingerprint cards for that state. AZ requires two cards. The other states only require one. But it has to be done *exactly* right.

It doesn't need to be concealable for the Quinton course. There is a live fire portion for the FL permits part, but it's held in the afternoon. If all you want is the UT permit, it's the first thing they do, and they will prioritize you on the fingerprint line and the piictures, notary etc. They usually do FL either 2nd or 3rd. You don't have to pay for all the training, just the ones you want, and that's all the paper work that will get notarized and for which fingerprints etc. will be taken. And, yes, UT is just paper and pen.

Multi State CCW course, includes Utah, Florida, Az, and Virginia. The bad news is, it's this Saturday, all day. (11/8)! You might need to call them quickly. Location: Quinton Sportsmen's Club, near Salem, NJ

Oddly enough, that's precisely what was offered at my private undergraduate university. A PE dept. course in "Riflery," taught by the US Marine GySgt on station for the Univ's NROTC program. It covered .22LR semi-auto pistols as well as .22 single shot bolt rifles. It wasn't "required," but definitely "offered." I took it.

But boat licenses tended to "expire" and, thus, have a natural facility for that training. Theoretically, FPIDs do not expire. Now that doesn't mean the State might require an "endorsement" stamp of some kind, but what a bureaucratic nightmare that would become for those that issue the FPIDs.

I trust that those that already have an FPID don't need to complete this training.... that they are "grandfathered..." Not that it makes it any better... but...

I'm absolutely sure it does (predate the movie). I'm only saying that's where I first heard it.

Actually, it was Morgan Freeman (as Clark) who claimed the acronym first. His admin asst. "Ms. Levias" then had to tell the faculty at the meeting what it stood for. Only after that, in a subsequent meeting, did Robert Guillaume (Benson) (as the BOE president) claim the title for himself. :D But, yes, that's precisely from where I got it. As an aside, if you recall the TV interview in the movie where he claims, "They used to call me 'Crazy Joe...' Now they call me 'Batman'.." I actually saw that Live on real TV when he (the real Joe Clark) said it.... one of my most vivid childhood memories.

I've heard of a similar acronym (one letter substitution, but that letter makes all the difference)... making it quite "politically incorrect." Care to shed some light on what the 1st "C" is for? Update: I just Googled it! Do "visions of "Premium Saltines" or "Ritz" come to mind? :D

In the "purchasing/accounts payable" world, P2P has a whole different meaning. It's a purchasing process known as P2P - "Procedure to Pay"
