They did as of 3 months ago.

I don't see how it would serve him one way or another to wait, unless he's still gathering sentiment data or assessing his chances for a national run. I see the MSM is keeping the "scandal pressure" up on him with the pension thing. The longer he waits, the more the MSM can pressure him with these kinds of things in an attempt to influence his decision on this, as well as national things...

For Portugese, I'd go to Fernandes Stakehouse in Old Bridge. The "Meat Parade" (Rodizio) is the best!

Passaic and Essex (the Caldwells, Fairfield, etc.). Actually, I'd drop Montville, if I could get the Don Pepe II restaurant to move to the Parsippany side. The best Castillian Spanish restaurant around!

Vetoing (hopefully) while the legislature is "on summer vacation." Not that it matters, really.

Yeah, I think a little "gerrymandering" is in order, here. I'll take Warren, Sussex, Hunterdon, Northern Somerset and western Morris County (west of Morristown). Maybe I'll also take parts of Parsippany and Montville as well.

This is the real reason why I believe it's still this way... the very huge lobby of those that don't want to get out of their cars and pump their own gas. I guess we have different objectives. I would prefer to pump my own. I have already had to replace one gas cap ($20.00) due to "attendant abuse." Remember, a bad gas cap can cause an error code in the OBD computer (and, thus, the dreaded "Check Engine" light). Thankfully, I have an OBD II reader and can clear the code(s), but still...

With a little care and "getting to know people," you can find places where you're "trusted." The one's that don't are usually those that are afraid you are u/c LEO, or those who actually support the law (for whatever reason).

In the case of fuel stations, then, I'd say NJ failed big time, since most stations (which usually had 2-3 attendants on duty at a time, 2 of which often served your car directly) have reduced it to just one for the whole site, (who minds the store, primarily - same as most self-service stations anyway)... thus having it take forever to get service.

I absolutely agree that some people should be "denied." I also agree that a "responsible gun owner" would either eliminate or not accumulate an inventory of weapons or grant access to them in a household where there is a person with said issues living. Perhaps it should be either a crime or involve a heavy civil penalty if such an owner allows access within that household, and they are subsequently used to commit a crime or inflict serious bodily injury, such as Newtown, etc. But I also don't think that the question should be so broad in scope, either, as to give a CLEO a very easy facility for denial. For example, I would preclude any issues that happened prior to adulthood (under 18) unless the issue is still ongoing. I also think that the question should be as limited in scope as is the ability for it to be vetted by standard means. Thus, if all a CLEO can do is inquire with the county adjustor's office or with court records, then the question should read something on the order of: "Have you ever been committed, to a mental facility or adjudged mentally ill by a court, or anything for which a report had to be made to the county adjustor's office..." not "Have you ever been attended, treated or observed by any doctor or psychiatrist or at any hospital or mental institution on an inpatient or outpatient basis for any mental or psychiatric condition?" This makes me think they (CLEOs) can do more than just inquire at the county adjustor's office.

Fair enough... but that question (26) is worded precisely for a reason... I just wonder for whom, exactly, it was written, and who they're targeting. Or is it a "throw all against the wall and see what sticks..." sort of thing? In any event, I can see HIPAA being easily changed to accommodate such reportings in the name of "gun violence safety." I can see this getting on NICS.

I believe physician's assistants can do more than RNs. They can "take full histories," do exams, etc. They probably can't perscribe meds (would need a DEA #), but I'm sure could set up a treatment plan and get physician approval. All the mechanical things like phlebotomy, EKGs, etc. are things a technician can do. Physician's Asst.'s do things a NJ doctor would not allow... since it takes money out of their pockets and control out of their hands...

Two concerns. 1) What the "school district" might have to report to the County adjustor's (mental health) office; and 2) What the private psychiatrist or the pharmacy might have to report to the insurance companies, that (in turn) might have to report to the county adjustor's office. I think you might have to answer Yes, to Quest. 26. I think that's exactly who they're trying to catch... young adults that had issues as kids... And even if these things (pharmacy records, school records, etc.) don't have to be reported now, expect the anti-gunners to work it into the law (or the feds) for NICS.

Thanks! Password changed.

I haven't read it, but it wouldn't surprise me. That is the mentality of much of this "Nanny" state. Think about if. If you were law enforcement, would you want everyone else having the same armament as you? Of course, you'd want your armament to be superior to everyone else's. After all, the laws heading to CC's desk re: mag limits and assault weapons bans were written/sponsored by a LEO! And, of course, they exempt *other* LEOs. But this mindset isn't restricted to just "law enforcement." Why is NJ one of only two states that don't allow "self-service" gasoline? Because the Nanny state feels we can't fill our own tanks??? I was an EMT and a PIT (Paramedic in Training). All throughout my training and, in re: my talks with the paramedics that were training me, it was clear that theirs/my actions were strictly controlled by doctors. In other states, paramedics have a lot more discretion than they do in NJ and don't need that degree of "medical control." Why, for example, is there no such thing as "Physician's Assistants" in NJ (or there weren't any when I was training)? Because the doctors don't want to give up control! Same with those "anti" LE depts... (mostly inner-city - like Jersey City, etc.) or nearby.

I think that's the whole point of Question 26... to be that "catch all" used to give those CLEO's leaning towards denial the ability to do so. Notice that the question makes absolutely no distinction in re: age... It simply asks, "Have you ever..." So pity the poor kid that was diagnosed with ADHD (perhaps unjustly by the school system at their convenience) and prescribed "Ritalin" or an equivalent... They may not be on it any longer, after school, but they're stained with that diagnosis for the rest of their life (in NJ, at least). I guess it's up to the CLEO of the given municipality, then. I wonder how they're even able to vet that question. Are they able to obtain Public School psychiatric records? Or records of private psychiatrists? Are any of those collected by "county mental health/adjustor's offices?" Are they able to obtain pharmacy records of prescriptions?

Sussex and Warren, if you please....

There are Wawa's also in NW NJ (Warren County and Hunterdon County north of I-78). Any place near the PA border. I assume since their HQ'd near Del. county, PA.

That, and they're giving the anti-gun MSM a lot of fodder for spinning against us! They (MSM) love this kind of stuff!

For me, it would the line drawn between Trenton and the tip of Sandy Hook.

Another good Internet Search tool is this one - GunWatcher. It allows you to search for guns and also keeps 10 of your searches "stored" so that you can track pricing, etc. It will tell you whether one of your saved searches has either increased or decreased prices, since the last time you checked in. A very valuable tool.

This one? P220 Stainless Elite It's still on their website of active products... As is their P220 Stainless "carry" Elite

So what happens, then, when people "do not comply" and bring them in, anyway? I'm pretty sure LE will be called. Perhaps not "legally," but "effectively" the same thing as banning. One way or another, you will be escorted out. Whether or not you are escorted "elsewhere," thereafter, remains to be seen.

Same thing in my township (Twp. of Independence, Warren County)... Not sure about how many hunters, but the PD and staff are the best. Same wait time for my initial FID and P2Ps. Even less time (16 days) for and additional 2 P2Ps.

I definitely understand their reasoning and spirit. But the problem is the media will take that and spin it in the most anti-gun way possible. All we'll see are the "big black scary guns" and nothing else. We really have to be more careful with our public image.
