Great to see the continuing discussion! I'm in the process of moving now - already my auto insurance has tripled and rent has doubled. I'm sure state taxes will be higher... On the other hand good to hear that Gov. Christie has vetoed the 10-round limit! Also why the tolls everywhere?! Seems like everytime I go out - even for groceries - I'm paying a toll - anything from $1.5 to $13 (Lincoln tunnel) - where is all this money going?

Thank you for the advice! will keep in mind as I make the move - I'm wondering what is the reaction of neighbors when they get to know you have guns - I guess they are not feeling safer? BTW I did consider leaving behind some pieces but seems like all of them are legal (except high cap mags for my wasr10 which I will sell) - even then with all the laws I feel constrained - e.g. if a future law makes the 10 cap mags a requirement, I'm looking at 6-8 mags to replace Do any of you store handguns in a bank safety locker (e.g. in PA)? or bigger rifles in a public storage?

ha ha I like OWAM - it must be made mandatory across the nation!

Good to know! so much easier than in GA - but this whole FID thing complicates even a simple ammo buy

That is an eye-opener! the future revenues might go down even more if NJ continues the high rates of taxation. So if the high incomes leave, the folks in the middle are squeezed Woodstock is not far from where I am - I've got a few friends living there....

Most likely end up in Edison - was also considering Summit but looks unlikely....

GA does not allow it - is it legal in NJ?

Rental market seems very tight in Summit - very old houses asking for lots of $$

I've been in GA for more than a decade and definitely enjoy the quality of life - lots of positives - low housing cost - very good higher education - Georgia Tech, Emory, UGA, GSU - moderate winters - cosmopolitan and diverse in the city - beautiful mountains nearby (blue ridge, north GA, Smokey's) - a heaven for the motorcyclists But there are some negatives of course - no beach - very humid in summer - Atlanta public schools are one of the worst in the nation - traffic going up to neighborhoods with good public schools is really bad - very very suburban - need to drive for 30 min to get any where - very little walking culture - not too many opportunities in terms of high tech employement - food is ok unless I want chicken tenders all the time - have to really hunt around for good pizza - closest skiing in 3+ hrs away in NC

Thanks for the advice! I will apply for FID as soon as I quality - might need a utility bill / license I assume - but will take a while before I make it to the license office - I assume NJ does not give FID to out of staters... Have any of you gotten out of state ccw permits from FL? Seems like very few states do this (permits to non residents) - the permit lets us carry in FL as well as in states with reciprocity with FL (either way NJ is out of the picture) I'll be moving to either Edison or Summit - any ranges you recommend close by?

Thank you for the helpful links! So a ccw is almost impossible?! Are we allowed to carry a knife? I just finished reading a book by John Lott and wondering what the deterrence is for the bad guys when we are outside the home?

Easy ccw permit - non-discretionary process - can carry in most places - recently they expanded it to even in the airport I think I don't think there are mag limits - at least I never hit it! my buddies have lots of features considered "evil" by NJ but fine by Feds - so my guess is GA just goes by the ATF regulations

moving here because of my wife's job and no choice to move elsewhere :-( even thought about commuting from PA but my commute then would be 2 hours each way but at least the schools in NJ are ranked way better than in Atlanta

Thank for the link to Nappen's book! More than 500 pages long - but from what I hear the best info on the legalities....

Thanks for the replies! @junkmanted I'll most likely end up close to Edison or Summit
