Moving Away - What of NJ Docs?
The regulation does not specify a penalty.... not "today." And, as stated above, it would seem difficult for the State to enforce the regulation, once the person moves out of state. But if that same person wants ever to return to the state, even temporarily, I can see where there might be issues. Or, if laws should change, and the State become able to file a federal NICS entry in re: the "non-compliance act" with the regulation...

Moving Away - What of NJ Docs?
A follow up on this... I read in Evan Nappen's 2014 NJ Gun law book that there is a NJ "regulation" NJAC 13:54-1.11(b) that "requires" any one in possession of a NJ FID to file a changes of address within 30 days of that change. It requires the same process as if one were moving "in state" (sts-033, sp-066 and $20.00 for a background check). Either file with the local PD (of the destination municipality I assume), or with the NJSP "in all other cases..." or so says the regulation. IANAL, but it would seem from my reading the reg, that it was intended only for "intra-state" moves, and not when someone is moving "out of state." And I'd wonder how they could enforce it once the person moved out of state (assuming they'd not be returning to NJ). But since it says "in all other cases," I guess the govt. and NJSP might exploit that (and so Mr. Nappen indicates). Thoughts? I'm having a bit of an issue with having to pay $20.00 for the privilege of leaving the state, but...

Utah vs Fla non-res carry permit
According to the USA Carry map, Fl would seem to get you New Mexico, where UT would not, for non-residents.

Need a new wireless home router
Probably not for that laptop. Also, you'd need to make sure the router to which you upgrade is dual band (G & N). If it's just "N" it won't work anymore.

Basic Shooting Question
I don't know if this is "dominance" or not, but I have a slight astigmatism in the right eye, and shoot much more accurately with the left. The veiw certainly is straighter. And I'm right handed

Car "carry" potential problem
My weapons mentor has already deemed this guy (YM) a "moron." I pointed out to my mentor, YM's video on the "M & P Shield" prior to the 08/19 recall notice and their subsequent fixing of it. But immediately, people began to "counter video" him, as in this video by GunznGear. Anyway, I'm pretty much set on the M & P Shield 9mm as my carry sized weapon.

Highschool Rifle Team
Just curious... Did they also take the ammo with them on the bus, or just the rifles? IIRC, that's how it was at my school. You could transport the rifles all you wanted, wherever you needed to, but the ammo was tightly regulated by the school and not provided unless/until you were actually on the range, actively shooting.

change things up: where did you learn to shoot?
I had been exposed to it all my life but, for much of it, was not actively involved. As a kid, there was a series of toy rifles (a lever, bolt, and carbine - back when they could actually produce toy rifles ). "Santa," it seems brought me the "bolt" action rifle. It would fire "real" plastic projectiles, maybe only 20 ft. or so (air style). IIRC, the plastic bullets could be re-assembled back into their "plastic brass." When it dawned on my uncle what "Santa" had actually brought, he went immediately into "safety" mode, making me keep the bolt action "open" at all times when not in use. I was also not permitted to fire it indoors or point it at anyone. Even though this was "New Jersey," my uncle had been Naval Reserve and had the training, etc. 1-2 years later, our summer day camp had a senior counselor that (I'd imagine - I can't remember - I was 10), might have been an NRA instructor. He was also Southern Military. He would be in charge of our annual "camping overnight bivoac" trip in the woods in Cedar Grove. Military style single pole field tent, latrine, etc. etc. It was great. But he also took us on trips to a local private HS that had a makeshift 50yrd indoor range. And he would teach us at age 10, the very basics of single shot bolt action .22 rifles in the prone position. So, that was my official "education experience #1." Fast forward to my sophomore year at Undergrad school. Believe it or not, the Phys. Ed. Dept. offered a full fledged course in "Riflery," and I happened to take it. It was taught by the Marine GySgt. who was on station for the school's NROTC program. A great guy and taught you respect for the weapons. We shot both .22 semi auto pistols (standing) and .22 single shot bolt rifles in standing, seated, and prone positions. I can still hear him calling my gunnery to this very day... "WITHA MAGAZINE AND FIVE ROUNDS.... LACK & LAUUD!" After the course, I actually stayed around to participate on one of the student teams in the team challenge. We came in first, beating the campus police dept. (although they won most of the individual competitions). Fast forward again to about 2 years ago. I had not touched a weapon since that college course. I guess I'd felt I had not needed them for SD/HD where I was living all those years. After all, if State Troopers live in my complex, it's probably pretty safe. Enter my very close friend (a PA resident) who also happens to be my cave diving mentor. We became friends over cave diving. It's his most favorite thing to do. I would have never gotten into cave diving (I was, strictly, an "open water" diver at the time - cave diving was dangerous). But slowly, very slowly, he got me into it. He found the right cave instructor for me, and helped me by being my diving buddy when I needed one. Now, I've been "full cave" certified for over 2 years. Well, if cave diving is my mentor's most favorite thing, his 2nd most favorite thing (and the one he does more of now), is freely exercise his 2A rights! So, now that he finished making me a great cave diver, it was time for "round 2" and getting me back into guns. And, very slowly, he did that as well. I've been shooting actively for about 1.5 years, now. I found my own training this time, but my mentor and I still go shooting when we can get together. I may even guest him into HG sometime within the next week. Anyway, that's how I did it.

Highschool Rifle Team
My school had one in the mid 70's, but I seriously doubt it's there now. After both the economy and the school shootings... I'd bet my school is lucky to have Football.

"Cold Dead Hands" TV show
My bad. I misunderstood your original post. In this case, I wonder why this show wasn't picked up by the MSM. We absolutely need equal representation before the sheeples. But it doesn't look like we'll be getting any from the MSM, anytime soon. And the few cable/YT/Streaming channels present that are pro-2a just aren't enough. I don't even think the sheeples know they exist. I cannot believe there aren't enough pro-2a people (in the MSM/Hollywood) and enough $$$ not to do this. It will be a tough battle (the antis won't waste any opportunity to spin what we do as crazy/stupid/negative/not to be allowed etc..). We need people just as plausible and charismatic as the antis, and then let them square off on the MSM, where the sheeples will watch.

NJ FID/PP Compliancy Project
Independence Township, Warren County. Initial FID and 2 permits received 24 calendar days after the app/submission date. No additional forms or questions, other than sts-033, sp-066 and MorphoTrak. Reference letters sent and returned quickly. Nothing other than standard questions. Bravo Zulu Independence Twp!

The traveling to Florida question...
Just curious - have you considered taking the Auto Train instead of driving all the way? I take it twice a year. You can pack what you wish in your car. As long as the dog doesn't alert on it (i.e. nitrates), you should be GTG. Admittedly, the rules aren't clear about whether the contents of your car are considered "checked baggage" and subject to those rules (i.e. restrictions on requirements to declare firearms), but it might solve the problem of worrying about the different state laws in between. Just leave the weapons in the lock box in your car. No one can access the car after it's loaded onto the carriers.

Is he anywhere on "streaming video?" Does he have a "Roku" channel that you know of? I've seen some firearms related Roku private channels ("TriggerTalk"), but there's very little content on them and even fewer updates.

Absolutely. "Justifiable use of deadly force to prevent a 'forcible felony'. " But I was thinking more about up here in the Northeast.

Eagle Arms Show
That's what I thought... and it doesn't matter much to me, except that I simply can't buy anything "on site" at the show, and walk away with it. It must be properly transferred. Which is perfectly fine. But it would need to be an exceptionally good deal to be worth the transfer fee.

The Solution to Car Jackings
A sad reminder of what some weapons instructors have said to me privately about "home/self defense" scenarios. One hopes never to have to make such a decision, but I was told that, "if you're going to shoot an offender in a home/self defense scenario, shoot to kill. If you just wound the offender, they'll turn around and sue you silly... and win!"
