It seemed as though he had already done the Bus. Reg. Certificate when the LLC was formed. I had done that as well, but did not file for a Sales Tax Cert. of Authority immediately thereafter. I wasn't sure if I were going to provide services that are/were taxable. I do, now. My invoicing program takes care of that. I just create product/service items and I can indicate which are taxable and which are not. I then simply produce quarterly invoice reports before I do my on-line filing -

Call the Divison of Taxation and request a "Sales Tax Certificate of Authority." They'll ask you for an activation date. Then they mail it to you. You have to display it prominently in your primary "brick and mortar" office location. As an LLC, I have one myself, but I deal solely in :"house calls," so my "prominent location" is my laptop's case. You then have the pleasure of filing quarterly sales & use tax reports, but you can do that on-line.

I'm thinking, because it's a FB page, hosted by FB infrastructure, it falls under Facebook's TOS. The Govt. entity in question just happens to be another FB user, just like all other FB users. Therefore, they probably *do* have the right to delete posts. Now, if the Govt. entity hosted their own server/site and did the same thing......

It already exists - Shooters on Target - Try their next "Multi-State CCW" class. One class covers FL, UT, VA & AZ, including training (including live fire portion), fingerprinting, forms and Notary services (but not State fees). It meets at the Quinton Sportsmen;s Club, Salem, NJ.

Very true.

Any indications yet as to specific motivations for doing this, or is it simply favoring/unfavoring individual contestants???

Depends on the size of the mag. With states starting to limit mag sizes, the company might not want to bother figuring out what size is appropriate for your state. Much easier to just not ship them at all. FTR, I have had success receiving mags in NJ from - 1) Firearms For Sale 2) Brownells 3) Bud's Gun Shop Admittedly, two of the above were for orders of 10rnd mags.

They seem OK in that respect. All uniform... none seemed more seated than any others. There wasn't that much damage, and it was wrapped in bubble wrap as well as the sealed plastic. They are packed on their sides so it is not like they were "upright" while being shipped (assuming the box was stored "right side up"). But I will be happy to give Cabela's some feedback. I suppose now, with Christina on-line, I could do all my shopping there and just pick it up in the store, but we'll see. .

I just bought the Para Ordinance "Expert" 1911. Haven't had a chance to "baptize" it yet, but I'l let ya know...

As a post script to this thread, my shipment arrived today, but extremely late on UPS. It also arrived in very lousy condition (outer packaging was very bunged up, like it was crushed by other packages). One of the three factory boxes was split open at one end, as a result, but everything was still in tact and I was able to tape it up. None of the rounds were missing, however (Cabela's sealed the three packages in a plastic wrap). The factory boxes did not have the plastic insert that holds each round individually. They are in the factory box in bulk rows (20 per row, separated by a piece of cardboard. Not that it matters much... it's all going to to into my magazine and come out the other end... But I think I'll let Cabela's know that they need to package these particular boxes a little better and in a stronger outer box.

Welcome from Independence Twp, Warren County!

I sure hope not. I think there's quite a bit to accomplish. But I guess it depends on what got you into it and keeps you in it. I feel similar about my other avocation... cave diving. The first challenge in cave diving was getting past all the training requirements, which means, getting approval of one's "cave instructor." That took 2-3 years, and only after I had been diving in open water for the previous 5 years. But even after one achieves the "full cave diver" level of certification, there are advanced level caves that require a lot more experience. You can't take a class for those kinds of dives. It just comes with "experience." The problem is, figuring out how to get that experience. No one can tell you how to do it. THey just know "they did it" and "you aren't experienced enough to dive with them...." The classic "Catch 22...." you need experience to dive those advanced caves, but you can't get the experience because you don't have the required "experience." You're just left by the senior members of the community to "figure it out." Meanwhile they gloat on the cave diving forums about how they conquered the "Mt. Everest" of cave diving.... Quite frustrating. This, combined with the fact that it's much more difficult since I don't live locally in "cave country" and don't get down there but twice a year. I do a lot when I'm there, but I could do more if I were living there and, maybe, be more "accepted" by the community. Sometimes, I think I'll never get there and think I should just give up, but other times, I'm energized by the thought of achieving that level of experience just to prove those elder ba$tards that think I can't make it wrong! As long as I stay healthy/fit, I should be able to get it done, even without the benefit of youth and more time in, historically. Likewise, I re-started late in re: shooting, and I face some challenges there (cross eye dominance, rt. eye astigmatism, etc.). But I consider it a challenge and a sweet reward when i knock it out even with those challenges. And there's more to look for. I could go into competitive shooting, where there's tons of interest and room to grow. Enough to last *my* lifetime, at least. As long as I stay healthy and my concentration/focus stays good, I have a lot places to go, and room to grow. I hope you find something that makes you enough to stay in it. Just to prove the ba$stards wrong! :D

"Public...." not "Private..."

Already posted in the 1st Amendment lounge. A "Well Regulated" Article

What consideration might that be? Or what "consequences" would he avoid? Is there any other State political office for which CC could run at this point (i.e. where Sweeney might have influence over the electorate)? US Senator, maybe? If we're talking the Presidency, then I can't believe Sweeney has national influence. CC'd be better off vetoing.

And, apparently, he has until July 7th to decide. So this may very well be what happens. We'll see.

I don't think they had reached his desk at that point. Now that they have, hopefully he will change, but I also think most unlikely.

More than likely, it's a matter of what's required by law or municipal ordinances. Otherwise, I doubt they would show up. I'm thinking, the state in which I lived and rented those apartments where exterminations took place probably had some kind of municipal/county ordinance(s). In fact, In fact, they had all kinds of "mosquito control." The county had "drive by" trucks that sprayed mosquito repellant on the outdoor shrubs (and the cars... and the patios/terraces, etc. etc. etc....)

They gave me notice as well, but certainly not enough to remove/hide a full cache of weapons, if that's what was needed. My only choice would be a gun safe, and your "none of you business" response. Funny, come to think of it, I haven't yet had to deal with the "Div. of Consumer Affairs," smoke/CO detector inspection thing since becoming a gun owner. They do have the right to inspect the entire townhouse. If he sees the secure lock on the closet door, and he wants to be an a$$hole, he could demand entry, and could violate me and report me to the association as "uncooperative" if I refuse (which could trigger other "visits"). As stated earlier, most of the guys just care to see the CO detector and test the smoke detectors. But, one time, I had one that demanded to see everything... all closets etc... dinged me for excess corrugated boxes, paper, etc. He even tried to ding me for an "empty" box that used to contain an "electric heater" (which are very illegal in multiple unit dwellings, apparently). I have until late 2016 (their next scheduled visit) to make decisions. I doubt I'll be gone from NJ by then, but we'll see... ever hopeful.

Most likely a NJ "carpet bagger." :D

But they can enter your rented dwelling "at reasonable business hours" to make inspections, effect repairs, maintenance, etc., whether or not you are home. When I rented, they did it all the time. Oddly enough, it was, mostly, the "exterminators" spraying for bugs, ants, etc. But they sprayed "everywhere" and opened every lower cabinet and closet door, etc.). Heck, per my "townhouse association" agreement, they can enter my townhouse unit (which I own, fee simple) to effect maintenance/repairs on any "common elements" (electrical wiring, gas & water plumbing, cable and POTS lines, etc.). The only time they have actually done it is when the NJ Div. of Consumer Affairs comes to inspect the smoke detectors, etc. every 5 years for multiple unit dwellings. I usually make sure I'm home when that happens. So far, with one exception, the inspectors only inspect the smoke and CO detectors. Point being, should they (land owners) find anything during a "maintenance" visit, they could initiate eviction procedures for violating the lease. How successful they might be, of course, would depending on state/local laws & procedures. Assuming the weapons are stored in a gun safe, I wonder if they could ask "what's inside the safe...." (I'd imagine any competent land owner would know what a gun safe is, and what's likely inside...)...

With the possible exception of laws/civil liabilities that protect the "protected classes" (race, color, creed, medical/physical disabilities, etc.), or other health and fire/safety codes, I believe a land owner can put whatever they want in their rental agreement. It's the land owner's private property and their responsibility and liability risk for what happens on it. It's their call. It's the tenant's choice to rent or not, subject to those terms. Take college dorm rooms at a private university, for example. Private land, and lots or regulations there about what you can have in a college dorm (mostly for fire/safety reasons). Given what's happened recently at several college campuses, I'm sure firearms are a definite no-no, if for no other reasons than the potential for civil liability should there be an "on campus" incident. I would imagine the same thing with private land owners who rent housing as well.

Yep, I've done mail-in ballots for every election for which I knew I'd be away..... Now, I adjust my schedule so I know I'll be back home on election day.

I have to agree. I can't believe security is so tight in the gov's office that something like this would stay hidden. And, eventually, it has to be reported to the legislative registrar anyway. Someone would have leaked it by now... especially after CC's appearance on Jimmy Fallon.

Mine is also shipped! Scheduled for delivery early next week!
