I've seen groups do this for "political" purposes. There is this group "Open Carry Chicks...." that purposely film confrontations with police - Open Carry Chicks in Missouri No arrests, that we could see. But the tension was rather high. An interesting risk/benefit calculation to say the least....

Mason Dixon Line? Heh Heh Heh... That's the MD/PA State border! Or most of it. It vectors eastward such that it splits the lower 1/3rd of NJ with the rest of it! Don't you know... the "new South" begins below I-10!!! :D

I hear ya man. But, as Deer Slayer said, my guys are the good guys! I'm also in district 24. We need to get the people in the "bad" districts to vote (for *their* good guys)!

Excellent. My niece will join her shortly at 18, and I hope to begin taking her to her training as well. One thing about Herritage Guild (Easton). By their policies, she must be 21 before she can rent, own, possess, transport, and use (without supervision) any hand guns. You will have to sign the waiver on her behalf. Oddly enough, at 18, she can sign her own waiver for long guns (rifles, etc.), but she needs you to sign the waiver for hand guns, until she turns 21. My understanding is that EFGA has no such policy and, as long as they are supervised by an adult, an 18 y/o can shoot your hand guns. I'd also check around with other ranges to see if they have this policy. They might not.

That's rather strange, actually. Many there *are* Italians... and Jews... and all the rest. In fact, Charleston has a rather sizable Jewish community and several prominent synagouges right on the main drag. Southern drawl and everything! Now, a few miles into the "sticks," and maybe that changes a little. It's all about "KLT" - "Know, Like, (but most importantly) Trust." Once they get to "know" you, and they feel respected, they may get to "like" you, but "trust" will take quite the Huerculean effort. Not impossible, but extremely difficult. It will take time... perhaps even a lifetime. The more you go through life's strife with them and empathize, and help them get through it, the quicker you earn that trust. Once you get a hold of it, do all you can to keep it. God help you if you lose it. Biggest advice, comes from Aretha Franklin - R-E-S-P-E-C-T!!!

I agree she did that. IANAL, so I can't say if it was legal or not. I only know that it affects me directly, and (in essence), invalidated the $51.00 I just spent for a Utah CCW. Still, I'll keep it. It's also clear that she's doing all she can to minimize the number of people that can carry in PA. I guess the out of staters with non-res. permits are the "low hanging fruit." Unless she is recalled or impeached (God help us if she serves her full term ), I think the other remaining states (Tx., New Hampshire (for some) ) will meet the same fate as FL. and UT.... PA will not honor permits from people that aren't residents of the given reciprocal state. Which means, NJ residents are, effectively, screwed as far as PA goes.

You mean, "Pennsylvania" was never dropped for FL residents, right? The question I was answering seemed to imply that there was no agreement at all for PA/FL, resident or non-resident. I was only trying to say that if, at some point, PA & FL was ever without an agreement for anyone, it now has one, but it's for FL residents only.

PA/FL Reciprocity agreement, effective 02/2013 - Straight from Kane's Website- Signed by her on 02/04/2013 - Notice that it's valid *only* for Florida "residents." Also notice that UT is no longer on that website. I believe this is their intent for UT and all the other states. To force the requirement that out of state permits will be honored *only* for residents of that particular state.

Not before Friday, 05/30.... :D

My understanding is that a new agreement was drafted (if not implemented) in re: Florida, but that it does *not* honor FL "non-resident" permits. Which would be in sync with the PA AG's most recent actions. There is also talk of drafting another agreement with Utah, but again, "non-resident" permits will not be honored. I think I see a pattern here.

Here is the COE form you need to fill out, per the above. NJ COE Form sp-634

Precisely. She'll get around to it, eventually.

Maybe so, but when it comes to dealing with the MSM, I'd prefer to be a little "hypersensitive," even in error. They (MSM) are not our friends. The fact that it takes place in a pro-gun state/area is *exactly* what they'd want to show. The fact that the video shows "gun stuff decorating their house" is *exactly* what they'd want the sheeples to see... and to scare them into thinking that "guns are evil." Is it right? Of course not. We know what it is and we know better. But the sheeples don't. Like I say, the MSM are very slick ba$tards and know just how to manipulate the sheeples towards their (MSM's) agenda.

I guess I just get nervous when I see/hear the MSM (and other media) use terms like this. I'm not sure there was any point in mentioning either that she was a gun enthusiast or wanted to be a firearms instructor, within the context of the HD scenario being reported. I don't believe either had any relevance to her need to defend herself and her household, in that case... so why even mention it? I can see how they might spin (or want to spin) the term "gun enthusiast" as meaning "gun " in front of the sheeples, and that the sheeples might just pick up on that, whether it's true or not. We really have to be careful with the MSM and how they interpret/spin the things we do. They'll use any opportunity to paint us in a negative way... one that facilitates their anti-gun agenda. IME, they won't report stories like this on the natl. level unless they can get in a "dig" like this. Notice the very big picture of the Glock in the article, instead of the girl, herself. Big black scary gun to scare all the sheeples, etc. Constant Vigilance.

http://abc13.com/news/teen-says-she-was-ready-to-greet-robber-with-dads-gun-/62416/ Gotta love that "anti-gun" dig the media tried to sneak in. How, all of a sudden, did she become a "gun enthusiast" based on a single HD event? Even if she was one, what relevance does it have within the context of that HD scenario?

Fortunately for me, 3 of my grandparents were from Georgia and one from Greensboro, NC. My mother was born in Jacksonville FL and raised in southern Ga. And, even though I've lived in NJ since (almost) age 5, my family spoke "Southern," and so did I. When I'm in the South, it's very easy to fall back into it, naturally (i.e not make it sound "obviously exaggerated" - a deadly mistake). And I would register the vehicle (and get new DL) immediately for "2A" registration purposes, more than anything else. Get the bureaucracy going ASAP. I visited Charleston, once. For the most part, I had no trouble there. Very diverse people. Only one run-in with a waitress upon my arrival (perhaps I hadn't yet dialed in my "drawl" ) but, otherwise, no issues at all. And very good restaurants with big named chefs (Louis Osteen, Frank Lee from SNOB, etc. etc.).

My township did not require notarization, to my knowledge. My references did not report needing to notarize.

Fair enough. Scratch them from the list, then.

Well, this story went viral. It even made the National MSM (the Today Show)... My understanding is that the dog is in "quarantine" for 10 days to determine whether or not it is rabid, and then will be put down as it is "unadoptable." Shame...

That makes sense, actually. I'm quite a bit away from that, although close to Gainesville, a Univ. City (U of Fl).

Those types of fees are all more expensive in FL. I'm an LLC in NJ and a foreign LLC in Florida. The annual report fees I have to file are just like you're describing - they are 3 times the amount in FL as compared to NJ. Then again, remember that FL has no income tax, but NJ does. This, since most people are there to retire, not work. So all those kinds of Govt. fees will be higher. Fuel is also higher, and some groceries are the same or higher. Health Insurance is lower. I'm into this as I expect to do the same thing at some point (i.e. move from Warren County to FL).

Welcome to the forum. I was down your way 2 months ago at the Quinton Sportsmen's Club taking their "Multi-State" CCW class. I submitted 3 of the 4 states. To date, one them has come back issued. The others, hopefully, I'll find out when I return home from FL.

I'm actually referring to the early-mid 70's, when I was there, and all that I mentioned above was going on. And well before drugs became big, even. All the more case for private schools. There was no such thing as core curriculum when I went, but there were also fewer teachers of worth. There were some, but few and far between, in the public schools. It was starting to be about "crowd control," even back then. I went to a coed "college prep" day school for my junior/senior years... Independent... non-parochial and, thus, no uniforms. However, there was a bit of a dress code. No denims, "painter's pants" (cargo pants these days) at any time, except for 1 day a year, and for "finals weeks." Corduroys were acceptable. Once a week, on Tues. we'd have to be in what is today called "full business dress." Girls had to ware skirts or dresses (except during the winter), and guys, dress slacks, tie & jacket, or better. I think it probably was the better approach than requiring uniforms, since it did give the students some choice, but also some responsibility. Although, I understand the concern today about "fashion competition" and the "creative financing" thereof. $200 Air Jordan's? Not a good thing. They wouldn't allow yoga pants back then... Not in the classrooms. Maybe in the gym. My junior high learned that lesson quickly. This was back in the days of "Hot pants." Well, one young lady (and definitely with the anatomy for it) decided to "test the boundaries," and arrived in a set of royal purple, velveteen hot pants with a lilac ruffled chiffon linen blouse, neither of which left anything to the imagination. Remember, we're talking 7-8th grade here. She was sent home mid-day, as she was even starting to distract the faculty/staff! She came back the next day in a "catholic school girl" uniform dress/skirt, etc. Frankly, I'm not sure which was worse... Point being, clothing shouldn't be *that* distracting from teaching or learning, but I'm not sure it should be "uniforms" either. Thank goodness we had the right teachers in the college prep school, and many if not most of the courses themselves were 100% AP oriented (with the "AP" designation). All their test questions were, in essence, recycled AP test questions or with that format. They made you think. We were, in some cases, exempt from taking the class final exam if we took the actual AP in that class. What they did teach me (of value), was how to think, and not just spit back memorized facts. They taught me how to "synthesize" with what I learned. That's been of more value than anything. Heh Heh Heh... :D ... I'm reminded of a newspaper cartoon back in his day. It's a picture of Sadam Hussein looking at a mirror saying, and, in the next panel, Sadam is all pissed off on the phone shouting,

Not in my county! The republicans are a "well oiled machine" there.

What implications do you think it might have on the 2016 Pres. campaign (other than where each candidate stands on it)?
