NJFOS campaign event hosted on the 16th at Gun For Hire
GardenStateGuns will be joining and showing support for New Jersey Firearm Owners Syndicate's campaign event they are hosting on the 16th at Gun For Hire.
Assemblyman Bob Auth will be joining, one of New Jersey's strongest supporters in the State Legislature.
We are going to have an opportunity to phone bank for both the Billy Prempeh and Mary Jo Ann Guinchard campaigns starting at 6:00 PM. The debate starts at 8 PM.
These are our two strongest 2A candidates in the state in districts that can be flipped (5 point or less districts in prior elections).
This is an opportunity for us to show that when politicians support us, we support them.
The goal is to get 40 people to show up. Forty people phone banking that evening can reach 12,000 republican and independent likely voters in those congressional districts.
Campaign staffers will be on hand to assist all volunteers.
RSVP below.

Ordering “other” online
Recently tried to order an “other” fire arm online to be sent to my FFL but online retailer said they can’t ship this to Jersey. It was an automated message on their site before I process payment.
I thought we were able to have these in NJ? It’s a 10.5 barrel but it doesn’t come with the vertical grip or the brace. But I figured I’d be able to buy and install once I received it or have the FFL install them.
Any pointers on how I can purchase one? Or is the online retailer incorrect ?

NJ quietly adds Child Support Certification requirement to legally saltwater fish 🐟
Shame because until a few years ago you didn't have to register at all. Now they will evidently be running Child support checks on every legal saltwater fisherman.
From an email I got from DEP:
"Beginning October 15, obtaining a NJ Saltwater Registration requires the completion of a Child Support Certification Form. This is a legislative requirement.
Completing the Child Support Certification is required when purchasing a hunting or fishing license, related permit or registration. Hunters and freshwater anglers have been complying with this requirement for years.
The certification must be completed annually and covers all NJFW licenses, permits and/or registrations obtained for the respective calendar year. For those individuals who have already registered this year, you will be prompted to complete the Child Support Certification Form the next time you log into the system."

Walz struggles to load own gun during recent pheasant hunt, doesn't fire a shot
Obviously has not hunted in many years and are panicking about recent polling only reason he would go out and pretend to care about hunting. He went and walked around an open field at normal speed not trying to conceal himself like it's a Wal Mart aisle. He looks like a video of someone's 1st time hunting or of guys that just go out smoke cigarettes & "hunt" who have no training and just do it for socialization.

Voluntary commitment and FID
Long story short, I was voluntarily committed when I was 16 years old. Fast forward to 2013, I moved down to South Carolina and purchased multiple firearms, got my ccw, and worked for a private armed security company.
I was SLED certified (South Carolina law enforcer division). This background check goes through the feds and is a very thorough process.
I ended up moving back to NJ in 2016. I sold all my firearms prior to coming back. In addition, I attempted to get my FID in 2020. My local police department called me up and said “you had a mental health hit come back. We suggest you withdraw and get an expungement”.
My question is - how was I able to pass federal background checks in SC? Aren’t they checking the same data base?
This just seems like extortion.
My question - if I found a town and chief who would sign off and approve my FID, should I technically be able to pass the federal background check?

FED. JUDGE SAYS NY’S PRIVATE PROPERTY CARRY RESTRICTION IS UNCONSTITUTIONAL
BELLEVUE, Wash. — Oct. 10, 2024 — A federal district court judge in New York has ruled that the state’s restriction against concealed carry on private property open to the public is unconstitutional, handing a victory to the Second Amendment Foundation in a case known as Christian v. James.
U.S. District Judge John L. Sinatra, Jr. issued a 43-page decision in which he observed, “The Nation’s historical traditions have not countenanced such a curtailment of the right to keep and bear arms. Indeed, the right to self-defense is equally important—and equally recognized—on then vast swaths of private property open to the public across New York State.”
Judge Sinatra further wrote, “The State maintains there is ‘extensive historical support spanning the colonial era to Reconstruction and beyond that forbade carrying guns onto others’ property without their permission. But the State fails, on this historical record, to demonstrate that the challenged restriction is ‘consist[ant] with a well-established and representative National tradition.”
SAF is joined by the Firearms Policy Coalition and Brett Christian, for whom the case is named.
“As we’ve said all along, the ‘sensitive place’ carry restrictions imposed by New York post-Bruen are unconstitutional. Hard stop,” said SAF Director of Legal Operations Bill Sack. “We are thrilled that once again, the courts have agreed, and sent this amoral and unlawful ban packing.”
“We are delighted with Judge Sinatra’s ruling,” said SAF founder and Executive Vice President Alan M. Gottlieb. “Once again, Empire State anti-gunners have been held in check by a judge who understands the Second Amendment is not a second-class right. The State tried to perpetuate its virtual ban on legal carry by prohibiting firearms on all private property open to the public for whatever reason, and the judge correctly said this restriction does not pass constitutional muster.”
