LEGISLATIVE WARNING FROM EVAN NAPPEN:
SOME NJ GUN BILLS COULD CANCEL ALL NJ FID CARDS, MANDATE POLICE TURN-IN OR FACE FELONY
By Evan F. Nappen, Attorney at Law (Exclusive to ANJRPC)
Out of the 23 bills recently filed in New Jersey, three dealing with mental health evaluations as a condition of issuance of FID cards contain potential severe unintended consequences that could invalidate every FID card in the state. They are A3688 (sponsors: Mainor and Jimenez), A3667 (sponsors: Cryan, O'Donnell, and Jasey) and A3676 (sponsor: Jimenez.)
All three of these bills require a mental health evaluation approved by the Superintendent of State police as a condition for issuance of a New Jersey Firearms Purchaser ID card under N.J.S. 2C:58-3c. Failure to do so is explicitly a "disability” under N.J.S. 2C:58-3c
A3676 also requires a privacy invading in-home inspection as a condition for issuance of an FID card, and A3688 requires submission of a list of household members with mental illness to the police to receive an FID card. Failure to obey these requirements are also explicitly "disabilities” under N.J.S. 2C:58-3c.
New Jersey law provides that an FID card is void if the holder becomes subject to a "disability.” Accordingly, if these bills take effect, ALL persons already holding an FID card who have not had the home inspection, psychological evaluation, or provided the list of household members (and thereby overcome the "disabilities” imposed by the legislation) MUST TURN IN their Firearms ID card to the Police. The turn in must be done within 5 days by law or face prosecution for 4th Degree Crime (Felony -18 months prison time.)
TAKE OUT YOUR OWN FID AND READ THE WARNING ON THE BACK.
These three bills have the potential to void every FID card in the state, and require their immediate return!
See for yourself. The law under NJS 58-3f. states:
"A firearms purchaser identification card shall be valid until such time as the holder becomes subject to any of the disabilities set forth in subsection c. of this section, whereupon the card shall be void and shall be returned within five days by the holder to the superintendent, who shall then advise the licensing authority. Failure of the holder to return the firearms purchaser identification card to the superintendent within the said five days shall be an offense under subsection a. of N.J.S.2C:39-10.”

If they actually did things that way, it would spark a revolt. There wouldn’t be room enough in the jails.

The very first thing I did after retiring, was to move out of New Jersey to Pennsylvania. I had a non-resident CCW, issued from PA, went to the Court House, and in 45 minutes a new resident permit for Pennsylvania was issued.
Just think, I had to wait 89 days for a permit to buy a handgun in NJ. Yes, the detective in charge, would hold the permit until the very last day.
I feel sorry for you guys.....
I’ve since moved to Florida, the final stop.
It is likely that the libtard hoplophobes in new joisey are going to try to out-do their buddies in new yawk.
If you were once a lawr-abiding gun owner in new yawk you are now living in a gulag. Leave for your own safety. There are free states who would welcome you - as long as you’re not a libtard.
To paraphrase owebama: “Adam Lanza is the one we’ve been waiting for.”
So, if I lived in the People's Republic of New Jersey my right to keep and bear arms would be completely taken away because my mother has Alzheimer's!?!
I wonder where Governor 0bama Phone will stand on these bills? /s
So, are these hispanic surnamed bill sponsors mafia soldiers, or do they work for the jamaican crews?
And let the adjudication of just “Who” is a mental defective. In fact, the reads in such a way that if you become disabled, in way. Wether physical or partial, being disabled means the state will disarm you, jail you and classify you as felon, forever altering your life.
FU Christy!
all LEO issued firearms should be subjected to the exact same mental evaluations, inspections and requirements. It’s for the children
dunno
In Pennsy you are also able to go to a gun store and dealer and walk out with whatever you wanted and as many as you wanted within 10 minutes of the Federal check.The good stuff is legal too. Hi Cap mags,flash hiders, bayonet lugs etc.AND THEY STILL ARE!!OPEN carry is legal too.(Don’t forget Castle Doctrine was signed into law in 2012.
How about, the exact same mental evaluations, inspections and requirements should be mandatory for all government jobs whether elected, re-elected, appointed or hired on.
Neither. Just good little plantation minorities serving their masters in the DNC.
Those on the left always overreach...Always.
The mask comes off.
NRA is going to have to come up with some walking around money for diversity votes next election.
Not to worry — NJ has a REPUBLICAN Governor who will stand unflinchingly for your Constitutional rights! /Sarc
I give thanks everyday that I don’t live in New Jersey ! Actually many parts of the state is pretty but most of the people there and their government, I cannot stand.
bttt
If the Dems keep this up, they are going to smash into Heller faster than you can say Cuomo.
