So is there a reason you wrote, "Yes = no FPID" or is it just that all the kids are into fake news these days? FWIW, I'm giving Barbie the benefit of the doubt.

Not true. You will receive your FPID if you answer "yes" to question 21 so long as you can honestly answer "no" to question 22. (Assuming no other disqualifications.)

Frankly, I think it would be a waste of both of their lives and OUR taxpayer money for either of these two to do time. Mistakes were made but no one was hurt. They're guilty of being stupid, but they're not criminals in the societal sense. 1,000 hours of community service would be a more fitting punishment—let them do some good in the community.

It says on form SP-015: Applicants wishing to acquire handguns must still first obtain a Permit to Purchase a Handgun & Form of Register prior to the transference of a handgun as required by N.J.S. 2C:58-3a

Just watch the magazines—15 is the limit here in NJ (for now ).

Welcome to the forums.

Facebook (and others, including Hotmail), gave themselves the right in the TOS to scan your private messages for purposes of advertising years ago. I don't recall them giving themselves the right to monitor conversations, but it could be they do it passively via helper apps such as Siri and the stupid #$%@ing "OK Google" which are near impossible to turn off.

One of the drawbacks of intelligent children is that boredom is their enemy and they love a good challenge. Sometimes it leads to them doing things that they know they shouldn't be doing. A biometric safe will not keep out a motivated kid:

Phil Murphy is quoting data from five-thirty-eight and a 2015 CDC report which "[calculated] the gun death rate by dividing fatalities by the state’s population and multiplying that figure by 100,000. Total gun deaths include homicides, suicides, and accidental shootings." I think it's stupid to group homicides, suicides and accidental shootings together, but that's been standard operating practice for a long time. I consider it dishonest, but technically he's not lying. Five-thirty-eight posted data about specific cities through November 2016. Using their math, Newark had a higher murder rate than Chicago. So much for strict gun-control laws keeping the murder rate down… Re: S3055, which reads, in part: The superintendent shall establish an electronic database containing the reported information, which shall be available to law enforcement officers on a real-time basis. The superintendent also shall establish security procedures to protect the confidentiality of the information contained in the database, which shall prevent access to the information by any person who is not lawfully entitled to it. The information contained in the database shall not be considered a public or government record for the purposes of P.L.1963, c.73 (C.47:1A-1 et seq.). The money for designing, implementing and maintaining this database is going to come from where?

Thanks for the suggestion. That was my first thought, and I actually have a pair, but most of the padding is over the "meat" of the thumb, not at the join where I really need it. That said, something is better than nothing, and since I already own them I'll give them a try later this week. Inexpensive solutions are my favorites, but these definitely don't offer the level of cushioning I'm looking for. Thank you all for your suggestions.

I'm trying to find a pair of gloves, preferably fingerless, that primarily serve to protect or cushion the web of the hand, i.e. the "adductor pollicis muscle" according to a number of grisly anatomy photos. Any suggestions?

Based on my own 5.11 Tactical range bag (same as here), I'd say they make good quality bags, though the advertised "locking" capability of the zippers is complete BS (and I notice has been removed from current listings). If you need lockable zippers, Bulldog makes a range bag that's perfect (though maybe discontinued?—eta: just checked, it's still available on Amazon). The zippers for each section form cylinders that you can slide luggage locks through. The GPS backpack is NICE (Howell Gun Works often has it in stock and Gun for Hire has their branded version if you're looking to pick up ASAP) but it's pricey and possibly wasted space here in Jersey where separate storage for firearms and ammo is required during transport. But…I saw a gentleman at the range last week carrying a Mickey Mouse beach tote. He was completely happy with his setup and I thought his bag was awesome. It probably makes more sense too. A Mickey beach tote will attract far less attention than a bag that's looks like all it's missing is an NRA patch.

You need to point that out to the dolts in our state legislature who think the 2A stops applying once the border is crossed into NJ.

Any accountant worthy of the title should have been able to pinpoint exactly why your return was so small compared to previous years. We can guess all day here: different income bracket, different withholding levels, less given to charity, smaller deductions, etc. but he had the actual paperwork in front of him. If he couldn't tell you why your return amounted to less than 10% of previous years (and that is a BIG drop), you need a new accountant.

Nevermind the intentional walk, what's this bs with 5.07? Watching Carter Capps give everyone fits was half the fun.

OOS.

From the NYTimes Real Estate section: "By mid-2017, the complex is to have its own highway interchange, which will provide 12 on- and off-ramps for the adjacent Garden State Parkway and U.S. 9 and Route 35 nearby." "The interchange is being constructed at a cost of $85 million, $15 million of which is being paid by the developer and the remainder by the state." Thank heavens the great state of NJ voted "yes" on Question 2 so we can fund this cluster**** right on top of an existing traffic bottleneck.

It might not be an error on your part. From SmugMug: "Site Unavailable" "Investigating - We’re sorry! SmugMug is temporarily unavailable, and our ops team is working on a fix. We’ll be back ASAP.

"As of this post, the suspects involved have not been identified or apprehended." Maybe had James Newman taken photos of the thieves, car and license plate the criminals would have been apprehended quickly. Instead he took out his gun and fired several shots which did nothing to stop the theft, but did almost get him run over. How very effective. /sarcasm ETA: I wonder if he still would have felt the altercation was worth it if the driver decided to back into him at high speed and run a tire or two over his head? Would his final thought have been, "It was worth saving those jackets!" I doubt it.

^^^this^^^ I have no idea what the outcome of the DA's investigation will be, but it was exceedingly stupid for the officer to let things progress to that level. Teenagers are aggravating creatures, but if he couldn't keep his anger in check to deal with them then the gun should have been left inside. All he needed was a camera to prove who was on his property, and if he felt they presented an actual threat he should have called on-duty policemen to deal with it. Even if the kids walked away or got only a warning, it would have been better than the optical sh*tshow the officer now stars in which has collectively been viewed almost a million times. One cops take on the situation:

Is there any explanation for why they have the apocalypse's most stunted speech pattern?

There are dozens of sites, but the NRA's is probably the most up-to-date: https://www.nraila.org/gun-laws.aspx

Please read through the list, because while I agree that someone with Alzheimer's shouldn't handle a gun, the list includes things like Anxiety and OCD which should not be automatic disqualifiers. If either condition is severe enough to warrant removing firearms from a person's possession, then the existing legal routes should be taken.
