The Northeast megalopolis seems like a liberal wasteland. My sister lived in New Jersey the only part I liked about visiting her, besides seeing her, was the drive through Western Pennsylvania.
I'll be going into my seventh month of waiting for approval on my permit - when it finally gets finished, I'll have the pleasure of being grilled by a detective before I'm "approved".
Why people live in these states (New Jersey, Maryland, Delaware, etc.) which screw over their rights has always been a mystery to me.
Yes, I know. That’s where their job is but rather than submit to these tyrannies I would have been searching for another job long ago (not now, when the economy is in the tank). Others note that where their family roots are. Or they want to be close to their grandchildren.
Fine, stay there but if you are unwilling to do anything about it—such as MOVING—quit your b@tching.
I wish I knew how to link and post video on here from my phone. There was a gunfight in Marianna, Fl at a liquor store where the clerk was a quick draw but still got nailed. If anyone could be so kind. Google wctv Marianna liquor store shooting. You’re bound to find it. Quite startling..
Since When is a Comma, Not Needed?
The politicians there and in New York thought that if they could limit Virginians to purchasing no more than one handgun a month they could virtually eliminate handgun crimes.
Well, it didn't happen.
In the meantime we've made things so tight for criminals in Virginia by allowing just anybody to carry, even openly, that our violent crime rates are way down.
Those criminals still exist, and they gotta' be doing something, so that's probably in New Jersey! Eventually all those EXTRA criminals that New Jersey didn't breed itself are going to start shooting up the public officials.
And no one will care.
New Jersey not only requires “justifiable need,” but the need must be an immediate and personal threat. It must be as if a thug has made a written, notarized letter of appointment with you, with a 60-day lead time in order to allow you to get a permit. Even then, probably you will not get the carry permit.
The rest of the NJ gun laws are similarly stupid, but it would take to long to list all of the them here.

Fort those of you whom have defense weapons, you must now get training: not just shooting-range training, but combat training. I had two such courses recently, and I feel that I really know my weapon now for the first time.
As someone recently said, “Thinking that you are armed just because you have a gun, is like thinking that you are a musician because you recently bought a piano.”
