Considering moving to NJ...

Taxes, housing, insurance, etc. In NJ are VERY high. You need to do your due diligence cost wise and then consider things like gun laws. If you take the job, it might still be financially better to commute from PA, to go with better gun climate

Just out of curiosity—do you know what level of crime triggers the add-on (no pun intended)?



Do traffic citations and minor non-domestic misdemeanors count?



I have no dog in this fight; it's just that I've heard lots of parroted misinformation about the NJ hollow-point law, but I don't know anything about this particular aspect of it.

People that have been arrested with a firearm that legally carried in PA, and came across the border for whatever reason, had it applied if they were in possession of them.

A fourth degree crime is still a felony, so that would take precedence. It really comes down to luck. I never saw someone arrested for just possession of hollow points... but doesn't mean it never happened. If you just have hollow points, it doesn't mean you have a gun. There is so much vagueness with NJ gun laws, that lawyers don't even like going down that road.

To answer your question, not being a lawyer and saying you definitely should check with one familiar with those laws, I would say yes, as it is an individual charge. I air on the side of caution with things like that... but every officer/prosecutor/judge sees things differently.
 
It is one of those states where you have turn right to go left and little 2 " signs on left side of road to turn right
 
Once in a while, I think about my gun rights when contemplating job related moving to another state. If I am significantly better off financially and career wise with a job in another state, for me anyway, my gun rights take a back seat. It's a bitter pill to swallow.
 
I have a niece that lives in St. Pete, FL and her husband's family is in NJ, so after buttoning down the house in preparation for Hurricane Irma, they fled to NJ for 5 days.

It came quite naturally for me to comment that I would rather sit on the roof of a Florida house for a Category-Five hurricane than to be forced to go to New Jersey.
 
I lived in MD for almost 20 years and didn't realize how bad it had gotten until I left and moved across the river to VA.....I'll never ever go back.
 
Sevens, you ever been through a hurricane? I have been through more than a few here in FL, including Irma over my house. NJ has some areas that are a LOT nicer than the eye of a cat 3 storm.......
 
I would move there for the right money too...but I have lived there and won't return because the cost of living is ridiculous. I was paying more in tax on my house than my mortgage+insurance+taxes in NC. Then again the schools in nc are like 50th in the nation and if my street breaks I pay for it, not the gov.
 
TAXES? I was paying more in NJ for less than one acre, per Quarter,
than I pay for 250 acres of prime woodland in Florida for a YEAR.
Maybe somebody can put into sensible mathematic terms, but it
makes little financial sense, to me.
 
Dum da dum dum...

Must be one hell of a job.

Wife and I would like to visit Maine etc. Cant figure out how to get there so we Stay home.
 
I have a house in NJ and a house in VA. My NJ house is on 1/2 an acre with real estate taxes of $9,000/yr. My VA house is larger and sits on 25 acres with real estate taxes of 1,825/year. In addition my VA house insurance is half and my car insurance 1/3 of NJ, and I can shoot till my heart's content in my back yard.

My NJ house is for sale if you're interested! :D

Simple enough, unload gun at NY border (upstate), cross to VT, and back to normal as you go get a lobster roll. Not that hard.
If I could get there from FL, you can from MI.
 
I have a map and could find my way but dont like some of the procedures.

When I have to traverse ILL, I fill the gas tank, get me a burger and empty my tank and then start driving, at speed limit. Good traverse is where my shoe dont touch ILL...
 
Tell that to the folks in Puerto Rico, and the rest of the Caribbean. Would I live in NJ? Nope, but if that was where the best job was, I'd find a way to live close by on a better less expensive state. I grew up in NYC, I know what the costs, taxes, crowds and idiotic rules are in that area.
