Most definitely! I put it on the calendar. Many years ago I would attend the amp show in Piscataway. Not sure if they are still going on.

Congrats @EdF! What are these guitar shows of which you speak???

Good tune! When I first saw him I thought, damn he looks like Pugsley from the animated Addam's Family movie.

Correct. If, after being asked to leave, you refuse, then you are looking at a trespass charge. What the lawyer said is that this same situation applies to carry in a place you didn't realize that you couldn't.

Wow. Good to know. Appreciate the info! I hope your neighbor is doing ok.

Thanks for that. I am guessing it falls under existing trespass law then. For example, does NJ law explicitly state businesses can post a "no shirt, no service" notice or are there some general guidelines that allow business to post non-discriminatory conditions of entrance that when disobeyed can get you trespassed?

Having trouble locating what you mean by TRO on whole part 24. Would you please provide some more information? I am very curious.

Really? I've been there a couple times over the years but never got the sense that I should avoid it. This is the impression I was left with after my USLS call today.

No. This was at the Lakewood US Law Shield event from last summer IIRC. I don't disagree with you but then again there are no shortage of stories about folks getting jammed up, being accused of having an AW, etc.

Great question. In a sane world, you wouldn't have the permit on you if you aren't carrying. Unfortunately, we live in NJ. It has to do with how the law is written.

I've heard, from Evan Nappen I believe, that LE just seeing your FID can allow them to do a PC search. He specifically said, "do not carry your FID with your license" for this reason. Also, FWIW, I am more referring to a situation where you aren't carrying but have an AR in the trunk. Not that I own anything illegal but again I don't want to invite the man into my life unnecessarily either.

Not sure if this is the best thread to put this but it seems reasonably appropriate. Listening to GFH radio over the weekend, I thought I heard AC say something about duty to inform even if you are going to the range and NOT carrying. I had a call into USLS on Friday so I added it to my list when I spoke with the attorney today. And the answer is that YES, if you have a NJ PTC and you have a weapon in your possession in accordance with the previous exemption regime (e.g., locked and unloaded in the trunk) you STILL have a duty to inform LE. Which means that you MUST have your PTC on you at the time even if you are NOT carrying. If you don't have a PTC then the old rules apply. What I didn't think of until after the call was whether or not informing is considered probable cause for a search of my vehicle.

FWIW, I spoke with USLS today about the situation that exists at a local mall, where an anchor has no signage at their entrance nor at the transition into the mall proper. (Side note I noticed that same thing at Bridgewater mall last week when going through Bloomingdales.) The basic answer was "if you didn't know that carry was prohibited and someone finds out then you can be asked to leave. If you don't leave you can then be charged with trespass." I'd assume that also includes if they catch you a second time. The thing I forgot to ask, is will USLS cover you for a self-defense claim if you genuinely didn't know you weren't allowed to carry somewhere but did. The safe bet would be no I suppose.

Clarification from the AG from ANJRPC: June 30, 2023. The New Jersey Attorney General has issued new guidelines clarifying that the severe unintended consequences of New Jersey’s “ghost gun” law do not apply to millions of commonly-owned firearms, including bb guns, air guns, antique guns, pre-1968 firearms, and certain imported firearms. The guidelines were issued after extensive discussion between ANJRPC and representatives of the Attorney General’s office. The discussions were led by attorney Dan Schmutter with input from attorney Evan Nappen. Click here to see a copy of the new guidelines. This development represents an extremely significant moment for New Jersey gun owners. The Attorney General has explicitly taken steps to limit the harsh unintended consequences of anti-gun lawmakers’ absurdly-crafted and ill-conceived legislation from last year. Even limited by these guidelines, the “ghost gun” law is still an unacceptable infringement on the right to keep and bear arms. Nevertheless, gun owners no longer need to fear the unintended impacts of the law, and ANJRPC is pleased to have achieved this result without resort to litigation.

Any other must-haves? Engine size? Stuff to avoid (e.g., turbo)? I am all about certified pre-owned. You can get a very good MDX or Pilot 2020 for mid-30s or so. We have 2010 pilot that's been pretty good though early on needed a bit of work (extended warranty more than paid for itself). Since then it's been just the usual maintenance stuff.

If our weapons are so useless, why is he so concerned with taking them away from us?

Agreed. And the state will expect us to be omniscient about it all...

Which says to me "a sign." So: no sign, GTG?

Judges appointed by zero and the ice cream man?

Wondering about the word "designated" here: Park, beach, recreational facility or area owned or controlled by a State, county or local government unit designated as a gun-free zone; What legally constitutes a designation?

Duh! Thanks.

Where'd you find this? I can't seem to locate it.

Utter BS. Obama, Trump and Biden appointees. Correct me if I am wrong but that includes: (6) within 100 feet of a place where a public gathering, demonstration or event is held for which a government permit is required, during the conduct of such gathering, demonstration or event; (9) a nursery school, pre-school, zoo, or summer camp; (10) a park, beach, recreation facility or area or playground owned or controlled by a State, county or local government unit, or any part of such a place, which is designated as a gun-free zone by the governing authority based on considerations of public safety; (12) a publicly owned or leased library or museum; (15) a bar or restaurant where alcohol is served, and any other site or facility where alcohol is sold for consumption on the premises; (17) a privately or publicly owned and operated entertainment facility within this State, including but not limited to a theater, stadium, museum, arena, racetrack or other place where performances, concerts, exhibits, games or contests are held; (18) a casino and related facilities, including but not limited to appurtenant hotels, retail premises, restaurant and bar facilities, and entertainment and recreational venues located within the casino property; (21) a health care facility, including but not limited to a general hospital, special hospital, psychiatric hospital, public health center, diagnostic center, treatment center, rehabilitation center, extended care facility, skilled nursing home, nursing home, intermediate care facility, tuberculosis hospital, chronic disease hospital, maternity hospital, outpatient clinic, dispensary, assisted living center, home health care agency, residential treatment facility, residential health care facility, medical office, or ambulatory care facility;

I have USLS and have called them a few times, for both in state and out questions and received a call back within a day.
