Yeah well it's not. It's quite sickening. I think Pa. should put their signs back up that said, Welcome to America. I have no idea why they buckled to NJ and took them down. I mean it's not a lie, it's as true as any sign every posted.

I trust everyone bemoaning New Jersey was dilligent in filling out the PSP form for their last handgun purchase so it can be properly entered in the purchase database which is not a registry?

Maybe the "Welcome to America" signs should go up somewhat west of Pittsburgh



1)This will likely be pursued further up the judicial chain

2)Any other case resulting in incorporation will nullify it anyway

As posted in the previous thread:

The actual court findings are here. There's more details as to the why and wherefore for the denial, trial court procedural errors, etc. It does not say that NJ citizens have no right to buy handguns but that pre-screening would not be unconstitutional.

As a point for intellectual exercise don't all transfers nationwide through an FFL require prior Government screening (NICS)? With few exceptions (ex: 2 generation bidirectional lineage), don't all handgun transfers in PA require prior Government screening (PICS)?

NJ's system is much more cumbersome and antagonistic than we have here in PA but, in the final analysis, they are similar in their essence.

I don't see, even with incorporation, that state pre-screening will be elimated any more than NICS, which already is subject to the Heller ruling, will be eliminated.

Two reasons why that guy was denied a license were two people that said he is unfit to carry.

I don't know why he even appealed it.....

And to celebrate my freedom, the mailman brought me my LTCF yesterday. I'll get my first firearm as a birthday present in a couple of weeks. Take that, New Jersey!

Fellow NJ escapee checking in. Earned my freedom in november of 2006.

Moving here was what sparked my interest in firearms and now I hold a LTCF, carry everywhere I can legally, and own 6 firearms and a few thousand rounds of ammo.

NJ can suck it. I hate that place and wish I never had to step foot there again. Alas, most of my friends and family are still imprisoned there.
