I know most public officials have to be "bonded," correct? Perhaps we should up those fees...

I'll say... the one with the "bidet/washer/dryer" etc.? :D

The "O-Torro" (Fatty tuna belly) certainly does.... and a lot more in some places.

Well, if a LEO wants to stop you, they'll find a way... no one drives *perfectly* or can "prove easily" fhat they did.... The big concern with that case was the use of ALPR cameras by the MTAP. Mr. Fillipidis was traveling through the Baltimore tunnels, where I'm pretty sure there were a greater concentration of "mobile" ALPR units, if not fixed ones. In his case, the ALPR camera caught his FL plate, and flagged him as a CCW holder via the MCAC database (where the record of his FL CCW existed). They went after him, got beside him, verified his identity and then got behind him and pulled him over. The rest, as they say, is history. The only thing we can do is minimize our journeys through MD, and avoid the main "tunnel" routes, where I believe scrutiny is greater (more critical asset to keep safe - imagine the cost to replace one of those tunnels and the traffic hassles, if someone were to blow them up)... It's one of the reasons why I'm going to try the I-81 route this time. Only 12.08 miles, 15 minutes in MD, and no bridges or tunnels. Although, there is the drive by right near that airport....

Do we know if her Philly permit was "seized" and if so, will she get it back? I think I read where she probably has to forfeit the gun, but that's much more easily replaced. The other thing is getting back her healthcare/professional licenses so she can go back to work and support her family.

Unfortunately, in my town, they made a huge complaint about recent "reassessments" and took the case to court. The "people" were successful in court in getting their properties "reassessed." So, what does the town do? They pull "slight of hand" of course, and raised the tax rates this past summer to make it (in my case) just $200.00 above last year's rates. And in an "election year" for Pete's sake? Seriously???

And that's the thing... You might not need the FID to purchase the handgun in NJ, but you need it to purchase "handgun" ammo. Unless you're just going to purchase the handgun and not shoot it ?!? To the OP - A lot depends on the costs... If you believe you can get that gun much cheaper in AK than in NJ, taking all the shipping and transfer costs into account (taxes don't matter because you'd still be liable for "NJ Use Tax" on your NJ-1040), then go ahead and purchase it in AK and have it sent by FFL transfer as described above. But I doubt seriously you'll be able to get it *that* cheaper. I would check this board and make quote requests or inquiries with some of the FFLs on this board. Once you return to NJ, then I'd make the purchase (I assume you'd have all your required docs ready P2Ps etc.). I think you'll find it's much easier.

Had a great time at Steve's last evening and another flawless transaction. This time, his Ruger 22/45 lite .22LR pistol, so I can have it to mentor my nephew and train him. I guess I have to start fightin' you guys/gals for bricks of .22LR. And Dante and I are becoming good friends! Thanks again, Steve.

Study those pages on handgunlaw.us. They each have a section on the specific law involving the need to inform a LEO if you are carrying. If you have any further questions, I'd ask an atty. But if it were me, I would not say anything to the LEO. I would follow all unconditional commands (i.e. step out of the car, put you hands <wherever>, etc.)... If asked to step out of the car, I'd roll up the window, keys in hand and lock the door after I got out.

Check This Website - Handgun Law US For each state, right at the top it will tell you whether or not you must inform the LEO that you are "carrying." In NC, SC, yes. In all the other states between NJ and FL, No. And that also includes MD. You need not inform the officer. I will also be driving to Fl soon. I intend not to carry while driving (I'll travel under FOPA rules). But that's your call. Another good resource is this website. USA Carry... This site is good for showing you reciprocity between states based on the permits you have. and vice versa (i.e. which state honors what permits).

My mom just transferred my nephew's Henry H001 .22 Lever action to me so that I can train him on it. It's tube fed and holds 15 .22LR rounds and more of shorter (.22 short). I trust that being made in NJ, etc., it is currently NJ legal (my mom purchased it a couple of year's ago... I assume nothing has changed since then). Look forward to training him on it, and passing it onto him when he turns 18 and can get an FPID.

Best of luck guys.... I'll be in Florida. See you all in November.

I can't either, but not so much for the prices as the calories, carbs, etc. Still the prices are ever rising... especially fish and red meat.

Three in a row! 1. Application type: 2 new Permits , applied 9/10/14 2. Twp. of Independence PD, Warren County 3. Both Chief Dennis Reiley and his admin. Kate 4. 16 days (2nd consecutive 16 day turnaround) 5. Nothing special 6. N/A

Which would be your primary domicile? In which would you have your Driver's License, register to vote, etc.? If I had the opportunity to move, I'd definitely change my primary domicile out of NJ. Anything has to be better....

Independence Twp, Warren County. 3rd round of 2 P2Ps. Applied 09/10/2014 Received and dated 09/26/2014 This marks the 2nd consecutive 16 day turn around! Independence Twp FTW!!! :D

Yes, this one seems better than A995.

I like how the "crime of the 1st degree" part "shall take effect immediately," but the "qualified vs. justifiable need" part "shall take effect" 6 months later...

Welcome from Warren County, NJ!

I think the parent would be covered by "line 19" in this case. The BG "broke in" (an "unlawful entry...")... Now, what would be interesting is if the BG, perhaps someone the victim or family "knows" and let in voluntarily, suddenly turns on the victim while already "inside..." Could the kid go get the gun while the parent is being attacked? Per the current language of the bill. It would seem not.....

I slept on this decision overnight, but I, too, need to put on my Kevlar suit. I feel for all of us and how much we want our laws to change and look for opportunities to make it happen. And I can understand why many see Shaneen's case as one of the best opportunities for this. Unfortunately, this case isn't about us.... it's about a mother and her two children, and what's best for them (which I believe is Evan Nappen's mindset as well). And, as her lawyer, it should be. In all good faith, I don't think it's fair to expect Shaneen to "take one for the team" and "think of the greater good," especially when it puts her at risk for prison time, loss of gun/voting rights, employment opportunities, etc, unless she chooses to do so voluntarily (and I can't imagine she would), or those wanting this to proceed through the courts would be ready to provide for her and her family for the rest of her life (since it would be difficult for her to do so as a convicted felon). If I were her, it would be all about making sure I'm there for my kids, and re-acquiring my ability to make money so I can provide for them. Perhaps, after Shannen completes her PTI and gets all her rights & privileges restored, and things get stable again in her family's life, she might help us by doing speaking engagements on the need to have NJ laws reformed, or the need for national carry reciprocity. But it depends on where she, herself, stands in re: 2A, which I don't even know. I'd not want her out there speaking for us unless she's totally committed. And if anyone wants to go ahead and risk all that she is/was risking voluntarily, then all power to them. Or, we find a different way to bring the matter to the attention of the public. OK, Kevlar suit on! Fire Away!

According to the above, it *is* on the form (1998). Look at Question 4, page 1. It may not be a "mandatory choice," or a "check box button" choice, but it's there. I absolutely think it's wrong to have anything on the form that would not be indicative of the applicant's ability to take possession of the firearm (i.e. "prohibited person," "mental health status," "criminal record," drugs, etc.)... I still don't understand why, in NJ, the "employer" information is put on the FID & P2Ps. What difference does that make???

Fair enough. But what about her carry permit? Would that be forfeited permanently?

I still want to know what the terms of her PTI will be (i.e. what she must do to complete it successfully). As stated earlier, I'd go for community service, a mandatory training class on the firearms laws of NJ and other states, and perhaps a fine. But no permanent loss of gun rights or carry privileges. And she should get her gun back (I assume it was taken from her). And, of course, her health care licenses should be resotred so she can return to work.

Puts LEOs more at risk. If the door is closed (and say the kid either can't get to a phone or isn't able to call 911 because s/he's on the phone with their parent(s)), how does the kid know it's the LEO approaching them vs. the BG? The kid is more likely to fire through the door anyway if they're scared by what they hear, and potentially kill the LEO, thinking they were the BG. I mean, that could happen anyway, but I'd think a scared kid is more likely to fire. Maybe that should be a part of training kids (i.e. teaching that particular scenario and how best to respond).
