Out of curiosity ... has anyone approached any of the freeholders before the meeting to give them a "heads up" that you will be doing this?

Apparently not ... I believe these are the relevant sections: 2C:39-5 b.Handguns. Any person who knowingly has in his possession any handgun, including any antique handgun, without first having obtained a permit to carry the same as provided in N.J.S.2C:58-4, is guilty of a crime of the third degree if the handgun is in the nature of an air gun, spring gun or pistol or other weapon of a similar nature in which the propelling force is a spring, elastic band, carbon dioxide, compressed or other gas or vapor, air or compressed air, or is ignited by compressed air, and ejecting a bullet or missile smaller than three-eighths of an inch in diameter, with sufficient force to injure a person. Otherwise it is a crime of the second degree. and then as Rosey always points out, it's all about "exceptions" which makes it hard for some folks to follow: 2C:39-6 e.Nothing in subsections b., c. and d. of N.J.S.2C:39-5 shall be construed to prevent a person keeping or carrying about his place of business, residence, premises or other land owned or possessed by him, any firearm, or from carrying the same, in the manner specified in subsection g. of this section, from any place of purchase to his residence or place of business, between his dwelling and his place of business, between one place of business or residence and another when moving, or between his dwelling or place of business and place where such firearms are repaired, for the purpose of repair. For the purposes of this section, a place of business shall be deemed to be a fixed location. f.Nothing in subsections b., c. and d. of N.J.S.2C:39-5 shall be construed to prevent: (1)A member of any rifle or pistol club organized in accordance with the rules prescribed by the National Board for the Promotion of Rifle Practice, in going to or from a place of target practice, carrying such firearms as are necessary for said target practice, provided that the club has filed a copy of its charter with the superintendent and annually submits a list of its members to the superintendent and provided further that the firearms are carried in the manner specified in subsection g. of this section; (2)A person carrying a firearm or knife in the woods or fields or upon the waters of this State for the purpose of hunting, target practice or fishing, provided that the firearm or knife is legal and appropriate for hunting or fishing purposes in this State and he has in his possession a valid hunting license, or, with respect to fresh water fishing, a valid fishing license; (3)A person transporting any firearm or knife while traveling: (a)Directly to or from any place for the purpose of hunting or fishing, provided the person has in his possession a valid hunting or fishing license; or (b)Directly to or from any target range, or other authorized place for the purpose of practice, match, target, trap or skeet shooting exhibitions, provided in all cases that during the course of the travel all firearms are carried in the manner specified in subsection g. of this section and the person has complied with all the provisions and requirements of Title 23 of the Revised Statutes and any amendments thereto and all rules and regulations promulgated thereunder; (4)A person from keeping or carrying about a private or commercial aircraft or any boat, or from transporting to or from such vessel for the purpose of installation or repair a visual distress signaling device approved by the United States Coast Guard. g.All weapons being transported under paragraph (2) of subsection b., subsection e., or paragraph (1) or (3) of subsection f. of this section shall be carried unloaded and contained in a closed and fastened case, gunbox, securely tied package, or locked in the trunk of the automobile in which it is being transported, and in the course of travel shall include only such deviations as are reasonably necessary under the circumstances. For those confused about the "travel deviations", the NJSP has published a nice guide.

Wikipedia covers this pretty well under "Permit to carry a handgun":

Historically that has not be a specific enough of a threat against you to qualify.

Essentially you need to prove your need/threat to your local police chief and the county judge, so it depends on how well connected your uncle is.

Without a carry permit (NJ does not distinguish as concealed) you are limited in what circumstances you can "transport" (note I didn't say "carry") - basically from your home to a dealer, FFL, range, or place of business that you own.

I had something witty to post on how to model our behavior on some recent celebrity "passings" but I quickly realized it would get us kicked to the 1A lounge ...

I had a similar conversation with my daughter about Kaitlin Bennett. She had the opinion that it was "too over the top" for her to post a picture of her legally and openly carry her rifle at Kent State, but she couldn't articulate why with any objective reasons. We've tried our best but I'm afraid the NJ public school system left her a bit brainwashed . . .

I think we're all in agreement for 2A consequences for violent crimes. What I specifically oppose is explicitly tying the law to a loosely related right - it's a slippery slope - especially since violating this class of law already results in some form of 2A penalty. Fundamentally it's just another example of encroachment by anti-2A forces - that somehow explicitly taking away 2A rights will make us all safer - which we know is not their ultimate goal.

Thank you for using "myriad" correctly!

Welcome.

I believe your FID has to match your DL.

Absolutely! As a side bar, TWAW is very active down here in Charleston as they have a group that has a monthly ladies night at the Summerville Palmetto State Armory indoor range, and it's even promoted by one of the local and popular female radio personalities. The events are always well attended.

He's a keeper, welcome!!!

Fixed it for you.

I love Live PD, and Live Rescue too.

I am not a LEO but was heavily involved with the fire service in Somerset county so I regularly monitored the police frequencies. I recall it was common practice to issue "county alerts" and setup county-wide roadblocks when stuff like this happened. Each local PD in the affected area would position cars at strategic locations/intersections to attempt to locate and stop the perps. Each municipality tended to be on their own channels and in some cases used their own municipal dispatchers, but some municipalities also use the central county dispatch. There was always a common channel though through the county to coordinate these things.

PSA is a solid choice in this category. See also https://www.pewpewtactical.com/cheapest-ar15-rifles-builds/

When I was at OBRPC shooting the USPSA matches, there was a guy that brought his two sons and they shot in the matches as well. I think they were around that age. They also scored near the top every time.

As matty said, Garden State Shooting Center in Lakewood offers several training options. When I first started shooting, I went to TTC in Flemington and IIRC for $25 additional to my lane rental I had one of the ROs give me an intro lesson and "show me the ropes". Check if GSSC will do something similar.

You mean your NJ Firearms Purchaser ID or your Permit to Purchase a handgun?

Did you just assume Joe's pronouns?
