Let's see… DiVincenzo engaged in nepotism and Menendez (who still has party sway after an indictment) refused to back him for Governor. There are many theories on Fulop: http://observer.com/2016/10/fulop-out-the-back-drama-to-the-back-drama-in-the-2017-nj-governors-race/ I like the theory of the dangling Senate seat. Who wants to go broke to inherit all the crap of the Governor's office when the road to a federal senate seat could be paved in Gold(man) brick for the cost of exiting the Governor's race and giving an endorsement? There's also rumored Bridgegate dirt on Fulop, which would likely be wallpapered on our tv screens if he took on Murphy. Lesniak doesn't have the fund$ to go against Murphy and he knows it. He'll stick to the sure bet of keeping his seat—he's been in the Senate since 1983. Sweeney did the political equivalent of swallowing a barrel and pulling the trigger by asking for the unions to be investigated for extortion. Wisniewski is technically still considering a run, to which I say good luck after he proposed that stupid coffee ban for drivers (2016: A1908) and voted to keep traffic cam ticketing. Those are the democratic contenders I know of, speak up if I missed someone.

You probably don't need a gun lawyer, but you might want to invest in a copy of Evan Nappen's book: http://www.evannappen.com/gun-law-books.html Here's the NJSP's current policy on hollowpoints: http://www.njsp.org/firearms/transport-hollowpoint.shtml Btw, welcome!

Ouch. No serious injuries I hope.

It's nice to see so much mutt love in this thread. Mutts are awesome, and they're usually healthier and live longer than purebred (inbred) dogs. I wish I could have a dog…

The way to defeat Murphy is to stop treating political party affiliation like a deathsport, and start reaching across the aisle to work with people on the other team. "Strength in numbers" alone is not going to get the job done here in NJ. The voter rolls as of 11/30/2016 have been posted and there are 2,076,528 registered Democrats and just 1,213,075 registered Republicans. Working on the assumption that gun owners are mostly Republican, 2A rights are in BIG trouble. There are over 2.5 million unaffiliated voters up for grabs, but if the last election is any indication, they lean blue. Education is what's key (see: Maj Toure) and reasonable expectations. Demanding that people vote against their own self-interests to oust representatives just for the sake of 2A is a losing strategy, but convincing people that they should not allow their Constitutional rights to be infringed and to light up phone lines and flood email servers when they're representatives' attack those rights can help the cause.

y-47, n-30, a-0 -- resolution passed

I'm getting whiplash from the speed at which they're passing things.

The kangaroo meat stick topped ostrich and gator in my culinary opinion. There were two Peter Piper's stations but the other was towards the corner of a room so I'm pretty sure I know where you were. I need to remind myself next time to look for the "JTM BBQ" logo, not a yellow sign that says "Average Joe's".

I guess that's the case for firearms, but surely not for accessories (holsters, belts, t-shirts, etc.). Plenty of manufacturers sell direct to the public via website.

Something that surprises me about the larger (1700 table) Oaks gun show is that manufacturers don't visit. I know it's not a trade show, but it seems like a missed opportunity for easy sales and PR. I knew going in I probably wasn't going to find anything on my list, but the trip was worth it for reloading supplies and Peter Piper's PA Pickles. I also got to try Kangaroo meat, that was new…

You'd think there'd be grounds for a lawsuit if something that according to NJ law should take 30-days is taking 10+ months… Kim Rhode must be tearing her hair out in CA…

Did anyone else see this story? http://www.msn.com/en-us/money/companies/ups-delivers-semi-auto-rifle-instead-of-toy-for-christmas-gift/ar-AAlEoRd "UPS delivers semi-auto rifle instead of toy for Christmas gift" I love that they hustled the grandkid from the room like the rifle was going to jump up and fire all on its own. For real amusement, follow up with the extra brief Newsday article: http://www.newsday.com/long-island/nassau/couple-says-ups-delivered-assault-rifle-not-toy-for-grandchild-1.12765386 Turns out it was worth some serious cash…$10,000 to be exact.

Those pickles are worth the price of admission.

I like the show (I've been twice) but I don't know if I'm going to drive two hours in 22° and pay $12 to get in considering I've not had much luck finding the stuff I'm after over the course of two shows: NJ legal magazines, various grips, targets in bulk, etc.

Keep in mind that Shapiro will be AG in PA come January. He stated while he was running that he's going to go after reciprocity agreements: https://www.joshshapiro.org/agenda/getting-tough-on-gun-violence/

The important stuff starts at the 11:00 mark.

I don't believe Paulsen is correct. The bill doesn't contain a residency requirement, but it specifically says: A BILL To amend title 18, United States Code, to provide a means by which nonresidents of a State whose residents may carry concealed firearms may also do so in the State. 2: 6 ‘‘§ 926D. Reciprocity for the carrying of certain con- 7 cealed firearms 8 ‘‘(a) Notwithstanding any provision of the law of any 9 State or political subdivision thereof (except as provided 10 in subsection (b)), a person who is not prohibited by Fed- 11 eral law from possessing, transporting, shipping, or receiv- 12 ing a firearm, who is carrying a valid identification docu- 13 ment containing a photograph of the person, and who is 14 carrying a valid license or permit which is issued pursuant 15 to the law of a State and which permits the person to 16 carry a concealed firearm or is entitled to carry a con- 17 cealed firearm in the State in which the person resides, 18 may possess or carry a concealed handgun (other than a 19 machinegun or destructive device) that has been shipped 20 or transported in interstate or foreign commerce, in any 21 State, other than the State of residence of the person, 22 that— 23 ‘‘(1) has a statute under which residents of the 24 State may apply for a license or permit to carry a 25 concealed firearm; or 3: 1 ‘‘(2) does not prohibit the carrying of concealed 2 firearms by residents of the State for lawful pur- 3 poses. 4 ‘‘(b) This section shall not be construed to supersede 5 or limit the laws of any State that— 6 ‘‘(1) permit private persons or entities to pro- 7 hibit or restrict the possession of concealed firearms 8 on their property; or 9 ‘‘(2) prohibit or restrict the possession of fire- 10 arms on any State or local government property, in- 11 stallation, building, base, or park. full text link: http://dailycaller.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/Concealed-Carry-Reciprocity-Act-of-2017-Rep.-Hudson.pdf I still believe it's worth supporting for the sake of gun owners nationwide and because it would be a great springboard for pro-2A lawsuits in NJ.

They SUCK at their jobs.

Seeing people shot (outside of fictional settings like movies and television) is disturbing to me, your empathy may vary. 1. I'm awaiting further investigation, but while I believe the campus officer followed his training (i.e. to shoot), I am concerned that from the angle of the video (other videos may prove or disprove this) there appeared to be children near and behind the attacker. 2. Most of those kids don't have a clue and you can blame the lockdown training; they're told to stay quiet and in place like baby deer. I disagree with this vehemently, but I'm not in charge of school policy. However, with regards to the child in the gray hoodie seen approaching the attacker and then gesticulating at the campus officer, from what I'm reading online (so take it with a grain of salt) the attacker was his friend. He may have been trying to help. 3. I suspect they're following some type of protocol that for legal reasons says, "BRING ME EVERYONE!" 4. I don't have an issue with warnings. Warnings don't stop me from looking at something if I want to, but they're good to have if viewing things in mixed company.

Expect the debate over police in schools to intensify after this (in Nevada): http://www.rgj.com/story/news/crime/2016/12/07/police-scanner-indicates-officer-involved-shooting-hug-high/95101402/ For however long YT leaves it up, actual footage from the incident--warning, it's disturbing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bLbdQs0R3T8

A4371: Establishes Firearm Violence Research Center at Rutgers, The State University http://www.njleg.state.nj.us/2016/Bills/A4500/4371_I1.HTM Identical Bill Number: S2830 Assembly: Downey, Joann (D) as Primary Sponsor Houghtaling, Eric (D) as Primary Sponsor Vainieri Huttle, Valerie (D) as Primary Sponsor Senate: Madden, Fred H., Jr. (D) as Primary Sponsor How they will pay for it: "Under the bill, the Firearm Violence Research Center will be funded through an annual appropriation by the Legislature, and by any grants, gifts, donations, or other additional funds received by the center from public or private sources for research related to firearm violence." (So they'll be taking tax money and Everytown for Gun Safety money, no possible conflicts of interest there…) Scott Bach's take on it: "It's an anti-gun think-tank which would squander millions in taxpayer dollars to legitimize gun grabs and limit the rights of honest citizens to defend themselves,” he said. “In the post-Orlando era of terror attacks on U.S. soil, our lawmakers should be looking for ways to empower citizens, not turn them into victims."

I like Larry Correia and I like his blog post, but reproducing his post in its near entirety—of the 4300-or so words, they copied over 3900—on another site? NOT COOL. Correia wrote that content and deserves the traffic to his website. The "article source" link at the top JFPO page does not make it acceptable. http://monsterhunternation.com/2016/11/14/a-handy-guide-for-liberals-who-are-suddenly-interested-in-gun-ownership/

Welcome to the forum.

Best first gun ever. (I may be biased.) If you have a resident Florida CCW you've get a better chance than those of us who live here in the PRNJ year round. This thread may be of interest to you: http://www.njgunforums.com/forum/index.php/topic/83997-election-and-national-carry-reciprocity/
