Will HR38 pass? In a way it's a great thing if it passes, but my concern is that states will loose a lot of revenue since a lot of people wont be purchasing non-resident ccw permits anymore.. Who thinks it will pass or who thinks it's going to be a bust?

I don't care about the states losing revenue that they've been charging for an an inalienable right. Think of all the money we've spent on our FIDs, permits and NICS checks. A lot of that money the state got from us went to the NJSP for their new vehicles and very little of that money went to improve NICS or anything else 2A related.

You're guess is as good as mine if HR38 actually makes it to the President's desk but I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it gets signed into law.

I agree. We've been screwed enough for something that has been ours since the Bill of Rights.

A little more traction is going around about HR-38. I'm hoping the House signs off, and then goes to the Senate..

I hope it will gain traction soon.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I was under the impression our NJ ccw was honored in DE, I viewed the ccw app. and it's showing not valid in DE, thankfully I have a Utah non-res. and it's valid there.

Delaware only recognizes resident and non resident permits from states that honor Delaware permits. Since New Jersey doesn't honor any other state's permits then our permits are not valid in Delaware. So be sure to have your Utah permit with you when traveling in Delaware.

Today's event at the Middletown Arms Co. had Joe LoPorto of the New Jersey Firearm Owners Syndicate (NJFOS) teamed up with the General, Susan Esposito of Early Vote Action (EVA) to register voters and also sign the H.R. 38 petition to Congressman Chris Smith. The Middletown mayor Tony Perry stopped by along with police chief Craig Weber. Also in attendance were Asw Vicky Flynn, Asm Gerry Scharfenberger and Senator Declan O'Scanlon. There were also local candidates in attendance along with Jack4NJ Jack Ciatterelli. Last but not least the Pen Patriot, John Petrolino presented Ciatterelli the book "Decoding Firearms".

A little Jack4NJ supporter.


It was a good turnout and I got to see some old friends and even made some new ones. I also met many of the local politicians, the chief of police, as well as Jack Ciatterelli. I heard that they were able to get 60 signatures for the HR 38 petition and that next weekend there will be a similar petition signing event at WeShoot in Lakewood, NJ.

I forgot to add this pic of me with Jack Ciatterelli.

If you guys ever see me around be sure to say hi.

Here's the General with yours truly.

If you're in any of these districts, please give a call to your congressman to support HR 404. It will only take a minute to do so.







I'll be at WeShoot in Lakewood tomorrow from 11:30 to 3 p.m. with a petition for Congressman Chris Smith on HR 38 and HR 404. Stop by and say hi.

There has been a change of plans. Someone will be at WeShoot with the petition for HR 38 and HR 404 but I'll be at Middletown Arms in Port Monmouth tomorrow with the petition as well. So if you're in the area, stop on by.

Congressmen Van Drew, Smith and Kean all voted YES for the Hearing Protection Act which passed the House 215 to 214.  The HPA passed by one vote. One vote!

The calls we made to our representatives got our NJ congressman off their butts and vote in our favor.

Thank you to all who that took the time to call congress.

Now we'll need to pressure the Senate to vote our way.

He may not have been too happy with the current bill but he did vote yes on HR 404.

What needs fixing in HR 38.






An article by the founder of FPC on fixing HR 38:

Republicans Could Make History on Gun Rights

The aim of H.R. 38 is to enable law-abiding Americans to exercise their Second Amendment rights by carrying handguns across state lines. With the right fixes, it could do just that   and become the first meaningful protection of the right to bear arms ever enacted by Congress. But today's version falls far short of its goal, and there's a Texas-sized gap between what this bill says and what Americans need to safely exercise their Second Amendment rights throughout the country.
