Say you are an armed security guard and have a NJ CCW that restricts you to carry on duty only....

Should you get caught carrying while off duty are you still looking at a felony?

 

Just curious...

Yip; but I believe you have up to two hours to get home after you get off work

You would be charge with illegal possession of a weapon... why would you think any different?

And, you'd probably get fired.

Because I used to drive at 16 with a restricted Junior license in NY from home to school and back...

The offense if caught driving anyplace else was driving out of class not driving without a license.

 

One was a $15 ticket the other meant you had to wait until you we're 21 to drive...

 

Also in NY they issue restricted Ccw for carry concealed on your way to the range only... Some mentioned if you are caught carrying at other times they take the permit away not charge with a felony... Just what I heard... Don't know it that is true or not

 

I was wondering if NJ had anything similar..

"To and from ONLY"...."While on duty/performing duty ONLY"..."Must be strictly adhered to"..."Must be surrendered to NJSP upon leaving employment"....

 

Answer is NO.

 

I wouldnt even push the "Going to and from" issue as long as we have actively 'functional' marshal law in NJ, meaning NJ as it is normally re; this subject.

i was told when I was an armed guard, you couldn't even carry TO or FROM work. you had to still secure it as usual. Even when I was in my uniform.

 

i didn't listen to them. I still armed at home. I used to stop at the store (wawa, 7-11, etc) No cop gave a crap..lol. Plus i got my free beverages...lol

There is the practice, and then the law.

 

Don't be stupid in NJ. A state where the anti gun agenda will throw the book at you to make it a case.

In the state of New York there are only three flavors of "pistol permit" which are pretty much self-explanatory. There is no special "restricted CCW" for concealed carry to a range.

• Carry concealed (without regard to employment or place of possession)
  
• Possess on premises (This does NOT cover transportation.) Its purpose:
  
  • Have and possess in dwelling by a homeowner ONLY
    
  • Have and possess in one place of business by a merchant or Storekeeper ONLY
    

  [*]Possess/carry during employment - with regard to employment

Applicants applying for a CARRY CONCEALED pistol license are required to complete the “proper cause” forms for the issuance of this permit. No applicant will be issued an unrestricted license unless he/she is able to demonstrate a special need for the issuance thereof. If an applicant will pursue a pistol license for the purposes of hunting, target shooting, competition, hiking, camping, etc,. a SPORTSMAN restriction will be applied to the pistol license. Once you get the license for a particular handgun you can have the license amended to include additional handguns.

 

The carry concealed permit takes an upstate New York resident about 4 to 6 months to procure. Most issuing N.Y. counties now require that the applicant take a safety course, often the preferred course is given through the issuing county office.

I was told with the "Sportsman" permits you can carry loaded on your person while on your way to the range.. That is what I was referring to.??? Again just what I was told by co-workers who live in NY and have Pistols.

 

I'm not a security guard and don't live in NY. Just curious as to different laws and their applications.

The granting jurisdiction (town/county & state) has the ability to grant whatever restriction they deem. They have the power of Yes or No or Yes w/ restrictions. Some counties allow concealed carry to the range, other counties do not. It depends where they reside. Their Sportsman's license (hunting & target shooting) for restricted concealed carry will state as follows; "License to carry pistol is hereby granted." Rockland County has restricted sportsman's license which require locked and cased firearm to and from the range or hunting grounds in addition to locked, separate container for ammunition. Some of the NY fellows I know and shoot with in Rockland county have this permit. That's how they show up at my range in New Jersey; boxed and locked. Others, after being in good graces with the authorities for a couple of years, had been able to upgrade their permits to full, unrestricted carry. Those go back 20 years though, it's getting tougher today to acquire these.

 

New York's issuing process is deeper than the application form leads you to believe. There are permit holders who have restrictions yet have a LTCF approval. While it seems straight-forward, it's still convoluted. Part of the process depends on how your interview goes with the issuing judge. The local PD, then NYSP and finally the issuing judge of the town/county all have a say in the process.
