The URL for the on-line form is: NJ SBI 212A e-Form. And it is $20.00. Not all depts. have converted to it yet, so I'd check with the given chief. or NJSP barracks.

Well, not exactly. The "employer info." is printed on P2Ps (i.e. your "occupation" and "employer name and address"). Not sure what good it does there, but...

Precisely.

Yup. "The truth, the *whole* truth, and nothing but the truth!"

Class 3 FFL, right?

It actually leaves you in "Sanford" Fl. Which is about 20 min. NE of Orlando. Tampa would be a good 2hrs away on I-4. Remember the Auto Train's 2nd largest constituency - Families visiting "The rodent." While it also takes me roughly 3.5-4hrs to get to DC, what I save (and what I base this on) is the cost of driving the "remainder" of the distance between Lorton and Sanford. If you buy a "coach" seat, it's almost competitive cost with driving the same distance, given you stop overnight at some hotel in NC. If you want a private room or roomette, yeah, that's extra. But consider the benefits. You don't worry about driving, the addl.mileage (and wear and tear) on your car, you don't worry about the different "speed traps" along the way. You get to relax in comfort, and your meals (Dinner & Continental Breakfast) are free. Depending on how well you sleep (in general), you wake up relaxed and ready to go. In my case, only 2.5 hours away to the Gainesville area. Now, admittedly, for me it is backtracking a bit, but not so much. Depending on your final dest. in FL, even if it's a slight "non-direct" route, I'd think it well worth the slight deviation. But, YMMV

I saw the "Not reproduce-able" red flag immediately. I knew it was too good to be true. I'm wondering if it was an "anti" just trying to mess with us... Odd that it specifically didn't apply to "guns and ammo."

Yes, it is Lorton, Va. But it's only 15 min. away from DC. I-95 to Exit 163.

We have a similar mindset in "cave diving," when confronted with a problem in a cave, underwater - STBA (STOP, BREATHE, THINK, ACT). We are trained to do this to prevent the natural "panic" response. Panic is the quickest killer underwater. And, once the panic response, starts, it's difficult to get it under control. If you SBTA immediately, you have a much better chance of finding a solution, or enough of a workaround to get out of the cave and to the surface (and/or complete your deco).

If having the "ultimate control" over your life that comes with supporting yourself fully (i.e. your own housing, food, clothes, etc.) is not a priority for you, then it may be advantageous for you to finish school so you can support yourself much more effectively in the future. It's your tolerance level and preferences that matter. If it were me, I'd want that control. And, as soon as I could, I was out on my own and remain that way to this day. The "peace of mind" and the control over my life was/is well worth the cost. But that's just me. You have to decide that for yourself.

This was my exact experience as well (example 1). Sales tax collected only on the weapon itself (purchased "in state") - no tax on the NICS fee.

Christie has already declared a State of Emergency. No unnecessary travel.

Almost 1" in Warren County now. And almost blowing sideways.

Is any PD actually requiring this? I've heard of things like it (i.e. contacting the employer, residential neighbors, etc.), but that just seems way too excessive. As long as there's no recorded history of domestic violence violations, an ex's input into the decision should be "absolute zero." No one except the two references listed, LE agencies, and the county adjustor's office (for mental health records), should be contacted. Anything beyond that is, AFAIC, an invasion of privacy. IANAL, but I would think that any denial based on those excessive interviews and/or refusal to provide sources of contact. might result in a reasonable "cause of action" against the PD.

That's certainly their choice, but I'd be concerned with losing permanent business. If it were me, I'd have made sure of the laws "before" the New Year begins, rather than shutting down opportunities to make money!

My 2014 Goals: Acquire two more "inventory" items. A compact carry handgun (most likely a "S &W Shield 9mm") and a 12G (a Mossberg 500). Shoot at least once a month (if not more) at HG, or at my Florida range when I'm in town there. Get both UT and FL CCW, and take the appropriate training for each. Complete NRA Winchester "Pistol Qualification" through "Marksman 1st Cl." Perhaps, begin "sharpshooter" quals. Take some "home defense/self defense" training (i.e. something like "NRA Personal protection in/outside the home").

I'm good without one. Already I see my townhouse assoc. fee going up. I guess we're due. It managed to remain the same for two years. But how much?

Well, there's this: Google Forms NJ Compliance Spreadsheet and This - Maks Spreadsheet Survey I filled out both.

I became a 1st time owner as of yesterday. A classic P226 9mm. Will break it in and enjoy it immensely. One more permit to go... looking at a S & W Shield 9mm... Furthermore, a 12g pump. Probably a Mossberg 500. I know the Mav 88 is cheaper, but I prefer the safety on top and not near the trigger guard. Wish I could afford a JM Pro semi, but that will have to wait. Spreadsheet filled out. Independence Twp. was 24 calendar days from submission date to pick up date for Initial FID + 2 permits. Anyway... Thanks to all for their help. Regards, HB

A very safe and prosperous new year to all, from another 1st time owner (as of yesterday) I look forward to meeting more of you... at the range and elsewhere. Regards, HB

I own a townhouse. Just as bad, it seems. But I'll cross that bridge later. My issue with "paying $20.00 for the privilege of leaving the State" is only within a firearms context.

And I will add my +1. Excellent experience. Enjoyed meeting him and some fellow NJGF members. Will definitely see him again.

I use weather.com Is that bad or something? No one seems to use it. They've backed off the more dire predictions for my area on Fri. Everything is now at 30% chance. We'll see.

Folks - This wouldn't be a huge deal for me and, of course, I see the impracticalities of enforcing it, certainly on someone who has moved out of state. I only bring it up because it seems Mr. Nappen made an issue of it in his book. I just wanted to know if that was just "Mr. Nappen" being "Mr. Nappen," or is there a credible concern here...

I can see where "non-compliance" with the reg might cause some problems if you are still "in state," the next time you need to go for P2Ps or something legit you need from the issuing chief, etc. It could be grounds for denial, if nothing else. And, as stated, should it ever become "reportable" to NICS....
