What's the general consensus regarding police questions about origin/destination while transporting a gun? I was reading this: https://www.state.nj.us/oag/dcj/agguide/transporting-firearms_guide.pdf and it seems like there's a hundred ways you could give a wrong answer and end up arrested. Can any lawyers chime in and say whether it's better to answer questions or tell him you're going to want to talk to a lawyer first (thereby remaining silent)?

Do I need to have my FID card with me when transporting a handgun to and from a range for target practice?

Can you confirm/deny if this will work on a Walther Creed/Ruger Mk. IV Hunter rear sight? https://www.amazon.com/NcSTAR-VTUPRS-Universal-Pistol-Sight/dp/B01HU4NNDE

They don't really want to "solve a damn thing." That would require getting rid of MS-13 illegals and being tough on inner city crime, the things that are actually driving the murder rates. But those are also the groups voting blue, so they get a pass. Let's instead focus on the statistically insignificant occurrence of mass murder with semiauto rifles. Surely the threat of jail time and a felony record will deter a clearly suicidal group of people!

I think they just say "use lube" in the manual. And I already have motor oil, diesel, ATF, and lithium grease.

I read a lot about people using regular Dexron III ATF fluid. Heard others use synthetic motor oil or lithium grease. Any experience with this? Also, diesel for cleaning after shooting and before lubing?

Here's what Amazon has: https://www.amazon.com/D-D-Machine-Handgun-pusher-Universal-Standard/dp/B0125M9LRS Looks like the same thing. I also have a Ruger Mark IV Hunter. Would be nice to get a tool compatible with that, too.

Haven't found any compatible red dot accessories. What are my options? As far as installing, anyone know if something like this will work? https://www.ebay.com/itm/UNIVERSAL-SIGHT-PUSHER-ADJUSTMENT-TOOL-Gun-Glock-Handgun-Front-Back-Sylvan-Arms/273966655349

They called my employer, which is why I say "can" and "do." I have no idea what their company policy is however.

Yes, they can call your employer. Don't know what they ask besides if the person actually works there. An attempt to catch a stupid person in a lie and then use it as a pretext to disallow the permit? Who knows.

I just mean empty soda cans, own targets, etc... Basically, non-competitive, non-organized, recreational shooting.

Local law bans all such firearm discharge (including air guns) except in case like self-defense.

I don't plan on doing it often so I really can't justify any expensive range membership fees.

Do those rules change if there is an under-18 visiting? How do they change?

If I don't have any kids, do I need to keep guns locked in a safe or can I just keep them laying around in a place I choose, loaded or unloaded?

Yes. That employer info you enter on your app? They call to verify you work there.

Yes.

Could someone explain to me what happened? Assuming Murphy will sign anything they put in front of him, they basically banned tasers (again). Other than that they required smart guns to be offered, which basically activates the 3-year timer on ABN700 that requires ALL guns sold in NJ to be smart guns? nvm it repealed the old law, so retailers are just required to offer it, which means what, offer it on "special order?"

Not sure if this was mentioned, but it is now impossible to have a reference that does not use email. The form cannot be completed without an email address. Not sure what they do if the email is invalid or they don't answer back. Will they call? Mail? In either case, seems if the email gets lost in the spam you are going to have major delays in getting a permit. They also call your workplace. Talk about breach of privacy! Better hope your boss isn't a vengeful liberal that retaliates against you for owning a gun. Basically, I think the system is technically faster now, but only if you're on top of your references. Get them to check their email same day/next day and answer the questions ASAP. Also means no: non-English speaking references, old folks who don't use email, etc...

So when are they going to pass and enforce felony anti-bully laws that make it a felony to bully someone? Bullying, you know, that thing that actually caused some of these shootings, rather than allowed them to happen?

They're fighting tooth and nail to make NJ unattractive to anyone except violent criminals, hood rats, welfare queens, and other democrat supporters. Technically a good long-term strategy to ensure you keep winning: get rid of opposition supporters.

Really? Didn't know that was on the table. I thought it was smart guns?

Yes, there's that plausible deniability. I was just curious if police would ever bother to go: 1. The person never lived outside of NJ. 2. The person never had a gun-owning relative die. Therefore... etc...

Right, I'm not talking about a specific gun which can be traced to a specific bullet used in a murder. Just whether or not I have to have a gun permit copy or a "story" for each handgun that exceeds the number of handgun permits ever issued to me.

In other words, a gun in my car or my house is presumed to be my legally acquired property by virtue of being in my physical possession unless something direct exists to prove it is illegal, like a 15-round mag, witness testimony that I stole that specific gun, etc...?
