Who's got one of those 'not this shit again' pics?
First, the letter being referenced 'disavowing' previous direction given out by various state agencies was actually an 'administrative rules change' that was drafted by the NJSP and submitted TWO YEARS AGO. I read it too, it was dated 2002.
Second, we had a Captain from a local PD call the folks at NJSP and verified that, behind the 'company line' bullshit statements about how high caps are banned, nothing has changed in years. Neither attorney general nor the state legislature has moved to implement the proposed rules change from 2002.
Third, as far as I can tell, NJ Title 2C, our criminal code, and and 2C;39 and 2C:58, sections pertaining to firearms, HAVE NOT BEEN ALTERED. (I have the complete code section posted in the NJ Hometown forum if anyone is interested) None of the proposed clarifications from 2002 have been implemented, at least not in the published criminal code. I looked up the state legislature website recently, no changes...
I know it sucks that so many people
who should know the laws don't. But we have to do a better job of not reacting to everything we hear. I've seen it posted here a million times during periods of crisis - "Remain calm, await good intel." Double-check your sources on this shit. There are so many documented cases various officials at all levels not knowing their exit holes from a brick wall that you simply can't take any single piece of info at face value, when it comes to NJ gun laws.
By the way, looks like a few NJ members that I haven't seen in the hometown forum before. WELCOME TO THE SITE! Stop by and say hi, its a great crew here in NJ. (despite what all you other fockers might think...
)
