Driving to NJ

Is this true or sarcasm (I am asking seriously). Drove many times in NJ but apparently didn't need gas so I don't know.

This is true, it is illegal to pump gas by yourself in NJ per state statute. Nanny state BS, the serfs aren't "professional" enough to know how to safely operate a gas pump, but the pimply-faced high school clerk is.
 
Except for gas.

[STRIKE=because]Which you can now pump on your own, not requiring a high school drop out to do it for you!
[/STRIKE]
I thought that NJ had changed the law, but apparently Christie was full of [bs2] when he blustered about changing the law a couple of years ago. You'll still need a HS drop out to pump your gas for you in New Jersey.

Go to PA after you leave NJ and come home 84 through NY but drive the speed limit and don't change lanes.

My dog is never thrilled when they come up to the car to pump the gas, one guy even shrieked when Lars started barking. Always good for a laugh.

It is true. And good luck after 10pm when every gas station is closed. I lived in NJ for a year.[sad2]

Also, most of these "professionals" don't close the gas cap correctly which triggers the engine light to turn on.
 
you can't pump your own.

And every time they try to do away with that, they vote against it. No idea why. I hate waiting for them to pump mine. They tried in 2006 but it got shot down when many expressed disapproval. But finding a 24 hour station is not hard in any populated area. Even up here when they close the pumps are shut off.

Gov. Jon Corzine (D) suggested lifting the ban in 2006, saying it could lower the price of gas by 6 cents, but believed there was too much opposition to the idea.

HP is not banned outright.

A bit long, but this is the statute and AG guidelines for it.

Transportation and Use of Hollow Point Ammunition by Sportsmen
Provided certain conditions are met, a sportsman may transport and use hollow point ammunition. There are no restrictions preventing a sportsman from keeping such ammunition at his home.

N.J.S.A 2C:39-3f(1) limits the possession of hollow nose ammunition. However, there is a general exception that allows for the purchase of this ammunition but restricts the possession of it to specified locations. This exception provides that:

(2) Nothing is sub section f (1) shall be construed to prevent a person from keeping such ammunition at his dwelling, premises or other land owned or possessed by him, or from carrying such ammunition from the place of purchase to said dwelling or land . . . [N.J.S.A 26:39-3g (2)].

Thus a person may purchase this ammunition and keep it within the confines of his property. Sub section f (1) further exempts from the prohibited possession of hollow nose ammunition "persons engaged in activities pursuant to N.J.S.A 2C:39-6f. . . ."
N.J.S.A 26:39-3f. (1).

Activities contained in N.J.S.A 26:39-6f. can be broken down as follows:

A member of a rifle or pistol club organized under rules of the National Board for the Promotion of Rifle Practice and which filed its charter with the State Police;
A person engaged in hunting or target practice with a firearm legal for hunting in this State;
A person going directly to a target range, and;
A person going directly to an authorized place for "practice, match, target, trap or skeet shooting exhibitions."
As with other ammunition and firearms, a sportsman would have to comply with the provisions of N.J.S.A 2C:39-6f and g when transporting hollow nose ammunition to a target range. The ammunition should be stored in a closed and fastened container or locked in the trunk of the motor vehicle in which it is being transported. The course of travel should be as direct as possible when going to and leaving from the target range with "only such deviations as are reasonably necessary under the circumstances." N.J.S.A 2C:39-6g.

If the sportsman's club member plans to hunt with a rifle and use hollow nose ammunition in a state where this is permitted, he must comply with the provisions of U.S.C.A. 926A and N.J.S.A 2C:39-6(f) and (6)(g), which is consistent with the federal law, in transporting the firearm and ammunition. The firearm should be unloaded and neither the firearm nor the ammunition should be readily accessible from the passenger compartment. If the vehicle does not have a trunk, the firearm and the ammunition should be contained in a locked container other than the glove compartment or the console. 18 U.S.C.A. 926A.

In addition, the sportsman should have a valid hunting license in his possession from the state in which he plans to hunt and should be familiar with that state's gun laws. N.J.S.A 2C:39-6(f)(2) requires a person hunting in this State to have a valid hunting license in his possession while traveling to or from the hunting area. Hunting with hollow nose ammunition is permitted in New Jersey. In the case of a New Jersey resident traveling to another state to hunt, it logically would follow that the hunting license would be from the state where the hunter is going. Although the federal statute does not require possession of a hunting license, it does require that the person transporting the firearm be going to a state where possession of that object is lawful. A valid hunting license from that state effectively supplies the proof.

These conditions for use and transport of hollow nose ammunition are consistent with the legislative intent to restrict the use of such ammunition to a limited number of people. It is well established that in construing a statute exceptions are to be "strictly but reasonably construed, consistent with the manifest reason and purpose of the law." Service Armament Co. v. Hyland, 70 N.J. 550, 558-559 (1976). The State Supreme Court has "characterized the Gun Control Law as 'highly purposed and conscientiously designed toward preventing criminal and other unfit elements from acquiring firearms while enabling the fit elements of society to obtain them with minimal burdens.'" Id. at 559.

A new range in the northern NJ area on Rt. 46. They didn't spare anything building it.

BTW, don't use computerized directions that route you down 95 and over the GWB. You WILL get stuck in traffic.

see if you can spot the circle in the trunk lid from where attendants place the gas cap.

Old school. Now they all have tethers so they just drop them against the side of the car.

It's a form of welfare. Every gas station needs to hire a few additional people.
