Carrying in NJ
Any NJ officers on here that can answer the following?
I'm planning on bringing my firearm on a trip to NJ, I am covered as a LEO(federal) under title 18 sec 926b. Are there any restrictions I should know about that leosa doesn't cover me on? Like mag capacity, certain restricted places, etc. thanks in advance.

Carrying in NJ isn't that an oxymoron?

I think it will all really depend on the officer; I was in Atlantic City a couple years back while still sworn and stopped to chat with a couple cops to get some advice on good places to hit (seriously, cops and hose-jockeys are the best people to ask) and they asked me if I was carrying, and the response when I said I was was "Oh good, don't walk around without it." Some officers I'm sure would be douches about it, but most will be cool regardless...just read the law itself (and then CARRY a copy of it with you...juuuuuuust in case).

LEOSA does not release you from magazine capacity requirements (I do not remember if NJ has that or not) but it DOES overrule NJ's prohibition against hollow points as the latest revision of the law defined ammo as part of your firearm--unfortunately, they did not include magazines in that definition. Cops on the street won't care, but it could jam you up if you get involved with something.

In NJ I would carry a J-frame snub, K-frame 4", N-frame 4", or equivalent Ruger/Colt revolver, or any M1911 variant/clone. They all worked well before 1987, so why worry about carrying a silly hi-cap wonder gun?

You don’t have to be the world’s greatest badass to be a man, but you have to be willing to throw down when the time is right.

So, that would mean NJ cops are protected in Mass?.............
Massachusetts doesn't give two shits about anybody other than their illegals and that asshole, Deval. I have LEO friends that fly to Manchester specifically to avoid this shithole state..
And Massachusetts is better than NJ....what's that tell you?Last edited by joeendris; 05-30-2012 at 11:15 PM.

I'll say this; any officer who arrests an out of state officer covered by LEOSA is going to be looking at the wrong end of a 42USC1983 action. Most officers in MA won't screw another cop. Hopefully they wouldn't screw anyone else intentionally either, but there is a lot of misinformation out there. Plus, some cops (like some firefighters, bankers, grocers, dentists, *insert other profession here*) are a-holes. Simple fact of life, albeit an unfortunate one.

NJ has a 15 round magazine limit, I believe. You'd probably get more current information at www.njgunforums.com.
"When I see how few who talked so largely of death and honour are around me, and that those who are here are those whom it was least expected, I am lost in wonder and surprise. Your noisy Sons of Liberty are, I find, the very quietest in the field. An engagement or even the expectation of one gives a wonderful insight into character."
- Colonel Joseph Reed, aide to General George Washington, 1776
