They will say "F%@k you very much"

 

I figured that's how it would work here

 

 

Side note: I know Clinton clamped down on kitchen table FFL's but it amazes me how anti-gun the majority of town in this State are. If I have a detached building with no windows (or barred windows), alarmed and a vault why is that such a big threat to public safety?

 

I can understand the fear of theft but if someone is determined nothing will stop them from breaking in.

 

The thing that really bites me is how my town has had the same code on the books for years yet they allowed a guy to open up in town from a residential property but told me no f**king way and to rent a commercial property (oh yeah, real practical for a side business $$$!)

Local politics are the worst. They frequently bend rules and laws all the time, and also frequently get away with it because nobody in that municipality cares that much to blow their life savings on a lawsuit. Add in the fact that big organizations that fight these kinds of things at the state and federal level don't have the resources to go after every corrupt local government.

 

We are screwed at every level of government, from local on up to the Fed. Add in the poor people who have to deal with HOA's which is another quasi-political entity ruling their lives.

What kind of select-fire hardware goodness did you have?

 

And if you don't mind me asking...how hard was it to open up in Hammonton? I think you lived on the same property as the detached shop building so was that dual (residential/commercial)?

 

I had a transferable M2 Carbine, a transferable M11A1, a pre-86 Uzi, and a pre-86 HK53.

 

I worked out of my house for 9 years, then built a detached garage/shop for 3 years. I had written approval from the local gun-loving Zoning Officer. It also helped to have the Chief of Police, the Mayor and a few Council Members as customers.

My father is a licensed commercial engineer so drafting site plans would be a peace of cake (and wouldn't cost me anything), and having access to heavy equipment to clear land and guys to build a detached block building, that's the easy part.

 

But are the folks on the zoning board in Hammonton pro gun (same people)?

 

For me it would be a great side business as it's a hobby I have a sincere passion for, but I'm trying to do it from a residential lot without renting a brick and mortar store downtown which would be too costly to start out with in the event it flopped.

 

The only other thing I can't find details about are NJSP alarm requirements, did they require you to have it setup on the PD switch or would a ADT commercial installation pass?

 

Sitting on two properties right now and if everything goes as planned I'll have capital in hand by the end of 2015 to start shopping for property and get the ball rolling.

Money keeps the world going...

 

In the commercial construction and engineering trade I know first hand how corrupt it is...want a $25M job? a couple people along the way need a new boat, luxury car, summer home, etc....funny how on one job our family company did 3 people from the State of NJ all had brand new homes built on the water in ocean city with boat slips and new high performance boats...and everyone turns a blind eye but hey that's life no free lunch and everyone has needs...
