And now for an update. I got the call yesterday, the Chief signed off on my Pistol Permits, and I can pick them up Tuesday. Again only twice a month are firearms dealt with in my town. Put that in your hat and eat it Indianajonze. FYI Indianajonze I was also admitted to law school 20 years ago and today I coach soccer and own my own business. I am glad none of us live in your dictatorship world where being falsely accused then found not guilty, as a Juvenile none the less, strips you of all your rights. Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk

Wow that was an ignorant statement. All charges were dismissed and expunged as in arrest never happened according to State of NJ. Dismissed as in never convicted or found not guilty. All were as Juvenile except one assault charge. All assaults were self defense. This all took place 22-30 years ago. So in your little fantasy world because you are charged with a crime you are guilty? I am glad I still live in America where it is innocent until proven guilty. Not sure what country you are in, but that is how it works here. Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk

I agree everything is kept track of. Other problems that can occur is data is entered incorrectly or interpreted incorrectly. Not sure which it was in my case, but the township firearms investigator was positive yesterday that I was adjudicated a juvenile deliquent for underage under the influence. Today I showed him the expungement order that clearly stated the case was dismissed against me. He blamed the system having the incorrect info. I'm just glad Mom made me get drug tested that proved I was not under the influence and also that Mom saved every paper good and bad from my entire life. Just hope she doesn't follow through on that scrapbook she talks about to give to my kids lol. Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk

Well I found my original expungement order. The local police department ran their own search of the State Juvenile Record System. Either my lawyer didn't serve them in 1997, it didn't exist in 1997, or someone screwed up in 1997 (year of expungements). Investigator said once they are served order it shouldn't come up again. The State Police investigation and Federal Returned nothing as did the County. Township dug deeper. I gave township copy of expungement order and proof that all charges were dismissed originally as I remembered. They said I should have permits within the week. Sucks to prove your innocence more than once but hopefully it is done now. For the record Township investigator was very helpful today. Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk

No I have not been denied but I am being delayed. My concern also is I was told he was waiting for paperwork of the original case that I do not believe he will be able to obtain being it was juvenile and dismissed and expunged. That could lead to a permanent delay. I am waiting for a call back from the attorney who did the expungement to find out who exactly was served. Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk

I petitioned for a copy of my expungement record to serve to the town. All arrests came as juvenile except one and all juvenile arrests except one took place in the town where I was issued my FID and PTP less than 2 years ago and have filed for new PTP. The one adult arrest was in another town and court and also was dismissed. That is the one that came up on my initial FID and PTP. The one other juvenile arrest which was dismissed was in a third town. All are in the same county. I will take copy of expungement order to all 3 towns again even through it was done almost two decades ago. Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk

I was never convicted either. Expungement means it did not occur, at least it is supposed to. He never should have been able to find the info through a standard search. He didn't find the info less than 2 years ago when I was issued my FID and my Pistol Permits. It is the same town, same investigator, I have had no involvement with law enforcement in the last 18 years. The only thing that has changed is I have bought many Military Rifles, I have been somewhat active on forums, and I belong to CJRPC. Below is definition of expungement in NJ. To expunge a criminal record means to go through a court process. Upon successful completion of that process, you get a court order signed by a judge. The court order states that the offense “...shall be deemed not to have occurred.” Persons doing a background check through New Jersey State Police or through the FBI will receive a response that there is “no record.” Additionally, after you expunge your criminal record, you are legally entitled to state that the arrest or conviction never happened.

I'm not sure but I didn't think they could dig into expunged records period. Especially those records that resulted in dismissals. Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk

The arrests as a Juvenile were trespassing in an abandoned house at age 12 which was sent to juvenile conference committee and then dismissed after 6 months. There were assault charges on 4 separate occasions as a Juvenile one of which arresting officer added trumped up charges such as terroristic threats and extortion and conspiracy to commit every charge, all dismissed. The one with the trumped up charges my alleged co-conspirator was 18 and thus an adult. His charges were also dismissed and today he is a Federal Corrections Officer. And one possession of marijuana, under age under the influence that being marijuana as juvenile. Was in car with someone who was smoking joint police pulled up he swallowed joint but cop found another roach. Driver who was the owner of the car and pot wouldn't admit it was his so we both were arrested. I did not smoke pot (never liked it) and immediately went to hospital for drug test that was negative. Again charges dismissed even though firearms investigator claims the under influence underage was not. As adult again assault and again dismissed as self defense. Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk

Today I went to the Police Department to find out why my subsequent pistol permits are taking over 4 months. I previously called and emailed and got no response. After waiting my turn I was told they were being delayed due to the amount of arrests I had while a juvenile. On my initial FID and PTP, less than 2 years ago, one adult arrest record was found, but they could not find the court record because it was expunged. I don't even know how they found the arrest record the first time. I had to go to the town the arrest and court case happened in and and get a copy of the dismissal and in essence prove my innocence once again before I was issued my FID and initial PTP. Today somehow though they found every arrest record both juvenile and adult. However the firearms investigator was also able to see that almost every charge ended in dismissal except for one. The investigator claimed that I was found guilty of an underage under the influence charge which I do not remember or believe to be correct. However he was not able to even tell what town it took place in. My guess is he couldn't tell because he shouldn't have even had the expunged information. I asked why none of these records came up during my initial FID and PTPs and he said he missed it. I find that highly unlikely. The reason it didn't come up the first time is because they were expunged and thus didn't happen. I was told they needed the full records to make a final decision. I asked how he planned on getting them if everything was expunged? To which I was told don't worry I will get it done and most likely I wouldn't be denied. Most likely? Full Record? I have a current FID, I purchased 3 pistols in NJ with permits issued less than 2 years ago, I have passed every NICS and PICS (70+) I have a Florida and Utah Concealed Carry Permit. My last arrest was 18 years ago. According to the investigators own records every charge was dismissed, except the one, which I believe he is wrong. Every arrest and court case was expunged. The reason I had them expunged was so I could answer No to have I ever been arrested on law school applications. Even without the expungements I was able to answer No to have I ever been convicted of a crime. It is my opinion that the reason this is happening is because how outspoken I was regarding the town's firearms policies. When I mentioned on this forum about their little private number postings, the next day the numbers were removed never to be seen again, however the town's site still references the numbers. I just find the whole thing very peculiar. I emailed Evan Nappen tonight and I will be contacting tomorrow the law firm that handled the expungements. My questions tonight if anyone knows the answers are: How can a police department get expunged juvenile records in the first place? And secondly can they use these expunged juvenile records to deny a firearms application when the charges were dismissed in the first place? Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk

I have Berettas because I think they look better and better made than Glocks. I don't know if I buy the argument in the OP article, but I do know I would never buy a Glock. Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk

That's what it should be, especially considering these are subsequent permits, I have carry permits in other states (so I passed plenty of background checks) and I am just about weekly passing NICS or PICS checks. I'm glad there are some places in NJ that process permits quickly. Worst part is I want them for C&R Pistols like Japanese Nambu which in almost every other state I would have a C&R License. It would have saved me thousands in FFL Fess, but I do like BSing with my FFL Steve from Monmouth Arms (I know cheap plug but he is a sponsor here). Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk

Day 110 and still no permits. Called twice and emailed twice yet received no response. Tomorrow is one of the 2 days per month PD deals with firearm applications. Guess I will go in person to try and get an update. Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk

8 months isn't normal in NJ? It is ridiculous I waited almost 7 months for my FID and initial PTP. I think I'm on 4 months now waiting for new PTPs have called local PD and emailed. Got no response. Best bet show up in person. Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk

It would make no sense to issue a license that is not valid in the issuing state. Means what earlier posters said. Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk

If we get a Republican President we get 3 Justices possibly 4 that will support the 2nd Amendment. This could be why the court has held off on case since Heller. Better to have case with multiple 2nd Amendment issues, with close to unanimous vote, to decide on 2nd Amendment once and for all. NJ will have to comply. 8-0 decision in Mass case is promising. If Hillary gets elected all bets are off. Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk

Calguns has a couple with all accessories for $170 right now and a guy had 6 for sale for $150 each. Crazy that AIM sells out at $229. If anyone wants to pay those prices for common Russian Mosins The Mosin Crate every couple weeks for the next couple months will be posting 30-40 of them. Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk

Agree it is odd post. As far as lawyer, I had one who was the former judge in town make a phone call. My FID was being delayed by piss poor investigating. Waited 6 months. After phone call had FID and PTPs next day. Didn't cost me anything but it definitely didn't hurt. At the same time I am now up to 3 months waiting for my new PTPs.

I have used the MAGPUL 7.62x39 30 rounders blocked to 15 in my converted Saiga and it feeds fine without fees ramp just needed to file down spine a little bit. I understand 5.45 feeds even better so can't wait to get some 15/30 MAGPUL 5.45 MAGS. As for Milled vs Stamped. AK-47 was originally designed to be stamped and Russian testing showed stamped to be better. My converted Saigas are stamped and I've had zero issues with either of them with 500 rounds through them Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk

What about Saiga 5.45 15 Round Magazines? Or the Tapco 30 Round Blocked to 15? Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk

Republicans have Tradition and Thurmond Rule on their side. They can and will simply table any nominee til next POTUS. Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk

McConnell damn well better call Senate back into Session immediately. Eisenhower was last President to appoint Supreme Court Justice as Recess Appointment so it has been done in recent times and Obama will try it. He has til Feb 22nd. However no Justice in 80yrs has been appointed during an election year. Senate will not approve appointment from Obama unless he does the right thing and appoints a Justice similar to Scalia (and hell will freeze over too). For the record Eisenhower did appoint a Democrat Roman Catholic. Tradition is on our side, but we are dealing with a POS that will try every trick in the book. Senate not approve a nomination, but they are all going to have to earn their pay this year and have no more recesses. Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk
