Because the employer could be sued by the employee for doing so without the employee's permission and, potentially, saying something "wrong/inaccurate" (i.e. that causes the employee "legal injury"). As a hiring manager, I was never allowed to "give references" over the phone for my past hires. It was company policy that we had to refer such calls to the HR dept, where all they'd ever give out were name, job title, and date(s) of hire/termination (Never Salary or other compensation info.). I understand that "verifying employment" is part of the process, even at the State (NJSP) level. What is truly of concern to me is why an FID/P2P's employer matters at all, in re: the process, and why it must be verified. Why, for example, is one's employer shown on both end-documents (ie.FID & P2P docs both show that info.). Why aren't the two specified references sufficient to determine one's worthiness to own firearms? My point being, it would be none of my potential employer's business what I do own my own time and whether or not I own firearms. And I can see where some "anti-leaning" employers might take disciplinary action (including termination) if they discover the employee is (or wants to be) a firearms owner. Like the federal govt., they can claim it's a "high risk" activity and either deny health and insurance benefits or make them outrageously expensive, etc. Just as many employers are now forbidding their employees to smoke, off-hours. Fortunately for me, I own my own business and am my own employer. So no worries, personally. But I think you get my drift.

Perhaps, in a "free" state (i.e. anywhere but NY, NJ, etc.- where, at the stroke of a pen, the "investment" you've made could be wiped away... (ie. mag bans, gun bans, etc.) )... I know this kind of thing is what's keeping me from entering the "long gun" phase of my avocation....

Unfortunately, the "open carriers" make for better MSM coverage and higher TV ratings, as well as better facilitating of their (MSM's) anti-gun agenda.

One other interesting point.... How old was the video footage he showed? It seems that he was interviewing Frank, but it also seemed that the B-Roll was of Donahue and Frank firing at Woodland Park Range (GFH). I had thought that Frank and GFH had "parted ways...." Did they kiss and make up?

Yep... I don't think the intent of "common ground" was clear enough. And he did get his "anti" digs in at the end of the video. He seemed a little dismissive of the "home invasion" concern. That's never a good way to seek common ground with us pro-2A folks! And that BS about "I was glad i didn't have a gun [when I chased a home invader out with a baseball bat...]" All that speaks to is his own lack of control/discipline, and lack of "deadly force/justification" knowledge/training. I would hope that any responsible gun owner who chooses to possess weapons for HD/SD gets the appropriate "use of deadly force" training for their state. Otherwise, they are fair game for whatever the book throws at them.

You might want to check the state corporate registry for whichever state(s) in which they are incorporated as an LLC. For example, in Florida, check: Sunbiz.org In NJ, I believe it is NJ Business Gateway Registry Services. If they're an LLC, they should have a listing. All corporate entities (LLC's included), must list a "registered agent" and that agent must be at a physical address location, for each and every state where they are incorporated as a main or "foreign" LLC (for when the "Sheriff comes a callin' ). Now, the PO box location may not be in the same as the state of incorporation, but you should be able to look up the business entity via the name.. If it were a matter where you could inquire with the Postal Police (an official investigation), you might get them to pry loose the physical address associated with the PO box (there must be one there also, for similar reasons), but I think trying to find them on the above websites would be the easier option. Hope this helps. Best of Luck.

Do they have this every year at this time/place? I might try to go to the next one.... I just had other commitments this time.

Many Thanks! PM Sent.

I'll have to check the laws of MD in re: "Pepper Spray." But that might be an option. Thanks.

Of course, the "no bare feet" thing is more likely a concern in re: civil liabilities, not legal ones. If, say, someone were to step on something sharp (a rusty nail, or the like) they could sue the establishment. I spent a bunch of summers on Martha's Vineyard, starting in the early 60's. I witnessed the invasion of the "Hippies" up there in the late 60's/early 70's. Shortly after the onslaught, signage startted popping up in the little shops.... "No bare feet," especially after shop owners would find fish hooks and the like on the floors.... As to the OP's original issue, I always carry my FID with me (can't carry anything else of value in NJ ) so it wouldn't affect me much. But, then again, I don't do much "window shopping" in LGS's, either. I do my research on the net (gunbroker.com, gunwatcher.com, etc.), and then I go to my NJ FFL and see what he can do. I might do a little window shopping in my FL gun shop, but they don't require any FID for "browsing."

Can anyone kindly offer some suggestions on where to go in NW NJ (Warren, Hunterdon counties), for personal self-defense or martial arts training? My young niece will be graduating from HS in the next two weeks, and will be attending college at U of MD, College Park. Since she would, obviously, not be eligible for EDC until she is 21, we would like her to take some martial arts training for personal self-defense. We're just looking for a training facility that would best suit her. All helpful suggestions, appreciated.Anywhere in the Warren, Hunterdon (Annandale, Flemignton, etc.) areas would be great. Thanks & Regards HB

I'm in... Perhaps with nephew... I'll see if he's available. Update: "with" nephew.

I do, and I did. I also got UT and AZ. Maybe a bit superfluous, but just in case there are any reciprocity changes, hopefully I'm covered.

It's also cheaper to maintain Utah ($51.00/5 years) than Florida ($112/7yrs). I'd get FL if you need New Mexico, which UT doesn't offer.

I think sota is referring to that cultural/bureaucratic phenomenon unique to Rutgers, known affectionately as the "RU Screw." But, yes, all university bureaucracies have one, most likely.

You almost had me with Arizona, but then I read the clause in the agreement where it says "PA will give full faith and credit to AZ permits issued to *residents* of Arizona..." Which clause also seems to be in the revised agreement with Florida. I'm pretty sure it will also be in the new agreement with Utah, and will most likely be coming to the agreement with Texas (written by the *former* AG). It's what the current AG wants. Either she is screwing us, or NJ is screwing us by denying almost all CCW. I wonder which is screwing us more....

I haven't filed both in almost 10 years, but as I recall, it was not quite a "wash" for me. That is, NJ did allow a "credit for taxes paid to other jurisdictions," but it didn't cover the entire greater amounts I paid to NY. Plus, there is the bureaucracy of having to file in two states and paying extra for that. I was not allowed to file electronically in NJ because I also had to file in NYS. Not if you are, or appear to be, over 50+.... Perhaps even 45+ Nonetheless, I'm not interested in FTE work, anyway. I own an IT consulting business, and what I seek are "business clients" not "jobs." That's a much different kind of effort. But, to the original point, as a sole member LLC, I'd still have to pay taxes to any State where I work or to where I must invoice clients (and attempt to claim the credit on NJ 1040). I'm trying to keep it minimized, and NY is one I'd rather *not* take on.

Plus, you have to file Tax returns in both states (and pay more, overall since NY rates are higher).... I am so glad that I left NYC in 2005. I wont acquire business clients there for that reason, unless I have to. And I'll try to negotiate a NJ nexus with them so I can bill them in NJ instead.

Picked up another inventory item from Steve today, a Para Expert full size 1911 .45acp. As always, the best of service from him. I even got Dante to come in and slobber all over my arm (after he sniffed me to death) :D The trick with him is staying seated and letting him come to you. We got to be pretty good friends. Excellent job. Thanks again Steve.

I concur. You need to have a CCW from your state of primary domicile. Otherwise, we'd all be doing that without a care in the world.

I wish you the very best man.... I wish I could do the same in FL.

Update - All three CCW's I applied for have been issued and received in my vacation mail. All were submitted around 03/18. UT was issued 05/03/2014 and postmarked 05/06. AZ was issued 05/06/2014 and postmarked 05/07. FL was issued 05/07/2014 and postmarked 05/09. A little too late for UT, but... Ah well.

45 days after it reaches(reached) his desk, this past Thrs. If he takes no action, it becomes law, then. He can either veto outright, or "conditionally" veto.

How long would it be before the "country" became the "inner cities" (i.e. the Gangbangers moving out where we are...)?

As stated in a different thread, could CC be waiting until after the NJ primaries (in 1-2 weeks) are over to take action on this? Are there any hotly contested races going on?
