supranatural

I realized something having posed this question on another site as well. Part of my concern also stemmed from the case where a Florida permit holder was pulled over in MD apparently because an LEO probably cross referenced his license back to FL and knew he had was a permit holder (John Filippidus). Since I am a non-resident CCW holder (FL and UT), any search of my vehicle license plates or drivers license is not going to show up either one for an LEO from MD as NJ doesn't know if I am a CCW permit holder. So, I'm thinking that unless I do something stupid like excessive speeding or driving recklessly in MD or DC, my chances of getting pulled over are very low to begin with. What do you guys think?

My rationale or logic is that in the states that permit and recognize my CCW I am free to CCW of course but in the states that don't recognize then the firearms all go into the trunk/back luggage area and will be transported under FOPA rules. I'm more concerned if I need to inform the LEO of firearms in the car if it is under FOPA in a non CCW recognizing state. In the CCW states I am sure I will be fine as they are gun friendly states that recognize my CCW permits.

I have a question - in states that recognize CCW permits (I have non resident FL and UT CCW) I know that if I'm carrying I should inform the LEO when pulled over and ID is requested. However, I will be driving from our home state of NJ (which does not recognize my CCWs) to Florida, and in South Carolina, PA, Maryland and DC they are also not recognized. Obviously during the part of my drive when I am in those states my firearms will be in the back of my van, locked as well as ammunition locked in separate container (for S Carolina the pistol will be in the glove per their laws that permit that practice). So, I want to be sure, if I am pulled over in those states that do not recognize my CCW, and my firearms and ammo are locked away in accordance with FOPA, I would not have to inform the LEO of my CCW nor that I am carrying firearms, correct since there is no concealed carry in their state and I'm not carrying concealed either? What if he specifically asks (like what happened to John Filippidis in Maryland) if I have firearms - I assume I am obligated to tell the truth, correct? But am I in my rights to refuse to allow my vehicle to be searched unless he can state probable cause?

Thanks for the advice everyone. A new Heckler Koch P2000SK V3 should be shipping tomorrow to my local FFL.

Unless there is a way to show only the negatives, it's hard to find...I was scrolling through pages and pages of A+ positives woot finding that elusive negative....according to the math the have a 99.6% positive rating.

I am looking to purchase a pistol off gunbroker and was wondering if there are any special gotchas I need to keep in mind. The particular dealer that is advertising the pistol I want is from Northern Firearms who seem to have good reviews (A+ with 28,081 reviews, of which only 62 are negative). I've typically bought only from established on line dealers shipping to my local FFL so this would be my first time dealing with a gunbroker dealer.

Do they send out a reference form again to your personal references again?

As suggested in the other thread I started, has anyone had recent experience with how long Old Bridge Twp police take to turn around a pistol permit application if you already have an FFID in hand? When I had to do my FFID and my PP together it was 7 weeks on the nose for both to arrive in my mailbox.

Do pistol permits go to state police then back to the local police? What happens at the state police stop, do they do criminal checks etc then send it back to the township?

The way I read it is that it offers protection from a legal place of possession to another legal place of possession (in another state). So if my ultimate destination is say a shooting range or hunting in Florida, or simply just Florida, then in theory FOPA covers me when I am out of NJ but in NJ the state provision that I can have hollow points at home, or at the range should cover my route getting out of NJ since I am transporting to a rang in another state, correct?

I got my Utah and Florida CCW in about 2 months...both arrived in my mailbox the same day. I took my course at Green Academy in NJ, took it at Buckey Gun club, very reasonable price (a lot less than taking a course for each of the FL and UT CCW permits), Cameron Green taught the class. Included live fire of course.

Doesn't tell me if FOPA makes it fine to transport it from my home to anywhere else it's legal. In NJ it is legal in your home and a range. I'm asking if it's covered under FOPA to transport hollowpoints from a legal place (my home), across 70 miles of hostile (NJ public areas) area where it's not legal, and to a state(s) where it is legal...

I'm wondering if the wait for a second set of pistol permits is shorter than the first time. Let me explan...I applied for my FFID and 2 PP at the same time last year. Total turn around time was 49 days to receive the FFID and PP. I want to purchase a couple more pistols so I am going to apply again for 2 PP. Was part of the original 49 day wait time spent waiting for my FFID to come back before my township (Old Bridge) would process my PP? If so, then would it be reasonable to expect this new set of PP to take less time since I already have a valid FFID in hand?

Understood...however that doesn't help me with my question. In theory, since I would be going from my home, where it is legal to possess hollow pints, to another place where it is legal to possess (another state) would FOPA cover that or is that outside the scope of FOPA?

What would be the legality of hollow point ammo in this scenario as well? Does FOPA cover that or am I better off only carrying ball ammo?

So then the original gun case (such as the hard plastic Sig Sauer case for example) with a cable lock threaded through it (combo lock) meets the requirement...

Minivan...technically would be accessible by people in the back of the van...

Beyond my pay grade.

Would locking my Sigs in their manufacturers hard case be considered acceptable to police as being locked? And what do people do about locking up ammunition?

Having planned a vacation in the Keys and then Daytona Beach, my family and I were originally planning to fly down. But, we have a new puppy (12 week old German Shepherd) and the wife wants to take him with us (it was one of my birthday gifts to her)...so I ended up renting pet friendly condos and we are going to drive. Not looking forward to the drive but with my Utah and Florida non resident CCW permits, I can take some of my guns with us. However, I am thinking it would be best to avoid Maryland and DC altogether and was wondering if someone else has either driven down to Florida from here and if they avoided those 2 states, or if it's not a big deal (bearing in mind the guy that was stopped by MD police last year and had his vehicle ransacked searching for a firearm that wasn't there)? Any suggestions or opinions? I'm thinking mainly of bringing my Sig p229 both for some fun shooting down there and as protection for my family in case of any trouble (i.e., rest stop in the middle of the night although we will avoid that if at all possible).

Asks me for a password to the forum...so I can't read it.

I cannot find this specifically addressed except for hollow point ammo. I know the laws regarding transport of long guns and pistols but nowhere can I find specific mention of whether it is legal to be in possession of ammunition outside of transport between residence and ranges, gunsmith, or hunting. It was mentioned by someone I know that it is illegal in the same way that it is illegal to possess a gun outside of your home/range/shop/business and transport to/from these points. So I did a search in the NJ gun laws thread and could not find any mention of illegality outside of the hollowpoint ammo laws. My concern was if I hear of some ammo (22lr specifically) being available at a local gun shop while I am at work, I would like to be able to make a quick run to buy some, leave it in my vehicle while at work, then drive home with said ammo.

I didn't see that, was it this forum? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I just had a minor fitment issue with a caliber X-change 9mm kit for a Sig 229 and Sig wants me to FedEx the kit and 229 frame to them. Is it allowed for me to drive the package to a FedEx hub? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
