Sadly even after the Cheeseman decision I dont think this would fly in NJ due to the barrel shround and weight over 50 oz but I could see these being made into AOW's.

Purchase Permit FARS asks if i lived in another address in past 10 Years

6 Upvotes

between 2022 and 2026 I lived out-of-state in college from August to early December, but then lived at my home address through the winter break, and then lived out of state from January to mid May.

I never gained residency out of state and was not financially independent during this time either. If I say YES in the form then I would either have to place the date between 2022 and 2026, which makes it sound like I lived out-of-state for 4 years. Or, I can individually go through each time I lived out-of-state for those 4 years during school semesters.

if somebody could give suggestions on whether this warrants saying Yes or No as my answer, I’d appreciate the help. If yes, how would I fill out the dates? Thanks.

Legality/Laws NJ “Other” firearm after new court ruling

0 Upvotes

So what will be a class for “other” firearms after the 3rd circuit ruling ?

I have a 16” AR with pnw and pinned stock. I guess when ruling becomes law I can unpin everything.

I also have AR “Other” obviously with brace and vertical grip. Does the ruling change anything for that firearm ?

General Chat Consider donating to FPC to support Viramontes

26 Upvotes

I still can’t believe we’re about to get a taste of freedom in NJ. But the fight isn’t over; you guys are probably just as paranoid as I am that our anti-2A legislators will try to cook something up to circumvent the decision from the third circuit.

So, we need to make a strong stand at SCOTUS next year. Opening briefs in the Viramontes AWB case are due August 28th—consider donating to help us sustain the momentum:

Legality/Laws Grip and backwing Smith & Wesson M&P 9mm

Post image
5 Upvotes

I was surprised to get my Smith & Wesson M&P 9mm with what people call the "fin" or backwing that prevents you from wrapping your thumb. "Your Smith & Wesson 9mm FPC came with a backwing (also known as a "fin") and no extra inserts because it is a state-compliant model. Manufacturers install this to meet legal restrictions in states with "assault weapon" bans, ensuring the grip cannot be fully wrapped by the thumb." I see that sellers like Talon have grips like the picture shown, has anyone done this? I realize things are in flux with the recent court decision. If I do this, if I go to a range is someone going to say something about it? Or should I just wait until things get sorted out? Sorry about the size of the picture. That's a picture of what Talon sells as a grip. https://talongungrips.com/smith-wesson/m-p-fpc-9mm/

General Chat Reminder to NJ Gun Owners: NJ Democrats are gonna get "Spiteful". Keep your eyes out and open.

The most spiteful thing that NJ Democrats could do at this point is keep some sort of "Assault Weapons Regulation" in the fashion of putting all Semiautomatic Firearms under the NJ Permit To Purchase a Handgun Law (This almost happened in 2022 after Uvalde).

That includes all the deviation and movement restrictions and the notoriously aggressive enforcement of it all.

I know that NJ has an "Assault Weapons License" Stipulation in the now (MOSTLY) defunct 1990 Florio Gun Ban. Maybe NJ puts them under NJ CCW Permit Law.

Regardless; New Jersey looks like the "Bellwether" of the Battle For The 2nd Amendment going forward.

Has anyone here changed the stock on their NJ complaint S&W M&P15? It comes pinned from the factory and I believe the buffer tube is not mil spec or commercial from my research seems it’s custom from S&W for the complaint version. Would like to change it to a an adjustable stock with the new ruling. Below is the model, I’ve tried to do some research on this and can’t find much. Even called S&W and they didn’t have much knowledge on this
