Right To Carry Road Show On The Road Again

Right To Carry Road Show

New Jersey Coalition for Self Defense

New Jersey – -(Ammoland.com)-  Dear friends of the NJCSD,

Just a quick note to inform you that after a long hiatus, the Right To Carry Road Show is back on the road again. Proceeds from this upcoming event will benefit Second Amendment Foundation, Gun Owners of America and Oath Keepers.

The “Right-to-Carry Road Show” is a mobile processing system where all of the steps necessary to obtaining a permit to carry a firearm are consolidated. In some states, politically-motivated bias against gun owners is so extreme that many local police departments refuse to perform the fingerprinting, going so far as to intentionally give citizens the runaround or intimidate people into giving up.

In the past, completing the application process may have required several days to complete by the time the applicant arranged for fingerprinting and notarizing, sometimes even causing time off from work to coordinate scheduling with frequently uncooperative local agencies.

“The ‘Right-to-Carry Road Show’ brings all the elements together in one place and lets people get everything done in about one hour,” said Robert Kreisler, President of the NJCSD. “We even put all the paperwork in an envelope, seal it up, and ship it to Florida for you. No more petty bureaucrats or politically-motivated roadblocks, just a fast easy way to assert your right.”

In states like New Jersey, where obtaining an in-state carry permit for self-defense is virtually impossible, the Right-to-Carry Road Show makes Florida permits available to those who want them. Since Florida has reciprocity with many states surrounding New Jersey and allows non-residents to apply for permits, offering the Florida permit is the next best thing for New Jersey gun owners.

The next RTCRS will be held on December 17th from 10AM to 2PM (hourly time slots) at the gun show at the Greater Philadelphia Expo Center. For more information, go to the SAF Fundraising Store and click on the ‘upcoming events’ link.

For a very limited time, there is an earlybird discount of $5 for those who register before this coming Wednesday. Because of the limited capacity, we urge you to pre-register rather than leaving it to chance while at the show. Be sure to use discount code RTCRS1217 when making your reservation.

Those of you who might be willing to volunteer to help, please respond to our email at president@njcsd.org and we’ll follow up with you.

As always, if you have any questions, let us know!

A Review Of The Rules Regarding Your Michigan CPL And Controlled Substances

Michigan Coalition For Responsible Gun Owners

Michigan - -(Ammoland.com)- – MCL 28.425k covers alcohol. The limit is a BAC (Bodily Alcohol Content) of .02. This is essentially a zero-tolerance standard.

It is much lower than the standard of .08 for driving a car. The law says that you may not carry a conealed pistol if your BAC is at, or above, .02. The penalties get stiffer as the BAC numbers go up:

.02 – .079: Civil infraction, $100 maximum fine. CPL revocation for up to 1 year (note that your local county gun board may elect to treat this as evidence that you are a danger to yourself or others and permanently revoke your CPL.)

.08 – .099: Misdemeanor. 93 days in jail maximum. $100 fine maximum. 3-year CPL revocation.

.10 and above: Misdemeanor. 93 days in jail maximum. $100 fine maximum. Permanent CPL revocation.

The law also contains essentially the same language as the statute controlling the Michigan’s Driver’s License with respect to tests of breath, blood, urine. So, a refusal to provide a sample upon request of a law enforcement officer who has probable cause, results in suspenstion or revocation of your CPL.

The statute also states: “(3) This section does not prohibit an individual licensed under this act to carry a concealed pistol who has any bodily alcohol content from transporting that pistol in the locked trunk of his or her motor vehicle or another motor vehicle in which he or she is a passenger or, if the vehicle does not have a trunk, from transporting that pistol unloaded in a locked compartment or container that is separated from the ammunition for that pistol or on a vessel if the pistol is transported unloaded in a locked compartment or container that is separated from the ammunition for that pistol.”

So, if you find yourself deciding to have a drink at a holiday party. You may put your pistol in what is commonly referred to as “Transport Mode” and be sure that you stay below the .08 BAC limit for operating a motor vehicle if you are going to drive yourself home.

As always, be safe! Responsible gun owners know that alcohol and gun powder do not mix. The majority of accidental discharge stories begin with a bottle being opened. MCRGO members have an outstanding safety record. Let’s keep it that way.
