    Been CCW ing on N.J. since October 22. He's absolutely right. N.J. does suck (for now) but be patient. We will revail. They try to make it so difficult you just say "screw it" and leave your gun at home. This only strengthens my resolve . CCW whenever you can, everywhere you can. Stand strong

    Nice video! You do a good job of describing the challenges of carrying a concealed firearm in NJ. I have carried for many years in Florida, but never imagined I would enjoy the same right in my home state of NJ. I can assure you that with the right equipment it does get more comfortable over time, to the point that sometimes I forget that I have a firearm with me. I applaud your decision to obtain good training. I believe you will be happy with the classes at GFH.

    Ive concealed carried for over 7 years. When using a stall, leave your gun in the holster and on your belt. When your pants drop below your hips, re-fasten your belt and slide them down as needed. Keep the belt and holster positioned around your thighs. Spread them slightly if needed to keep holster secure. Otherwise, sooner or later, you're going to drop your pistol and holster onto the floor. Note: sometimes you're forced by circumstancetouse a urinal - if you have a stiff enough belt, keep the holster as far right as possible, unsnap your pants, and unzip. Press the holster against you with your right wrist and do your business. This works best if you have a cover garment like a sport coat ot jacket or an open button-down shirt to block other's view from the sides. Yeah, it can be weird.

    I'd HIGHLY recommend Tier 1 Concealed holsters if you're going to go with a sidecar design. Their Axis Elite is an amazing appendix carry holster. I own one for my Glock 43X and one for my Sig P365 XMacro w/TLR-7 Sub.

    • @JayCostaUSA

      I did look into a Tier 1 originally. I went with the Trex because it was a bit cheaper. Then I wanted something different from the sidecar design for the M&P so I heard Tenicor was good.

    @Jay Costa, 1. Governor Phil Murphy wants to give the citizens of New Jersey the illusion that they want you to rely on the government to protect you. The U.S. Supreme Court ruled a couple of times that law enforcement officers are only there to protect the public but not the individual person from harm. You are responsible for your safety and a gun on your hip is more effective than a cop on the phone. This is because you are your own first responder.
    2. When it comes to your right to defend yourself it does not rely on where people think you should be. If I'm in the area and evil is looking to take me away I can defend myself. This is because there is nothing in the U.S. Constitution that says I have to wait for the police to save me. Self-defense is one of the most natural instincts for self-preservation. This is one of the main reasons the Founding Fathers created the Second Amendment. It's because your natural instinct is to protect yourself.

    • @JayCostaUSA
      @JayCostaUSA  6 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      I agree in theory, but each state does have different standards and thresholds when it comes to self defense and protection or private property. Plus, the 2nd amendment is much more broadly encompassing that individual self defense, as I am sure you would agree. Thanks for watching!

You just go with the bill, and pictures of the new firearm from your FFL to the police HQ in Yaphank, they will add it to your license and give you a purchase document that allows the FFL to release the firearm to you.

Summer cary have a Walther PPK and found an OWB holster to be the most comfortable. Went with leather from Wright Leather works, not cheep but worth every penny. So confortable hardly notice it on sometimes. Winter carry is DW 1911 in same holster. Third is is a older S&W mod. 60 with anckel holster.

    Excellent video ,,, nice job! I carry Sig Saur P365.. Its so tiny that I "almost" forget that Im wearing it ,,,9mm 10 rds plus one in chamber. I have Been carrying a handgun (in NY and NJ) for 38 or so years and this is the most comfortable gun (with full no nonsense firepower) I have ever had the pleasure of carrying. BTW I have NEVER carried a round NOT in the chamber, its just silly. If the gun is "drop safe" and you finger cannot pull the trigger while the weapon is holstered then there is no reason not to have a round chambered. BUT Jay is 100% correct... you have to work at being comfortable with that and training. On another note... get some carry insurance ... it peace of mind and NOT expensive. Shop around and read all the fine print very carefully. Some will not provide insurance in NY or NJ but some will. You would have to be crazy NOT to have this protection.

    Wedges will definitely make a difference. You should get the pack. I just found your channel this morning. Two unrelated comments... If you're happy with your holster set up, you may not be interested in the Phlster Enigma. It's great because it's deep concealment and you can wear ANYTHING. And you can use the bathroom much much easier. The other topic for those of us in NJ to see more info on, insurance. Obviously we can't have insurance technically. I recently signed on with Attorneys On Retainer (AOR). They're not an insurance company at all. It's a law firm. The advantage to that, USCCA and the like can deny you if you are charged with a crime and as you know he in NJ we will be. Some people will choose to sign up with both.

USCCA and US law shield and the like are companies that can help if with legal costs, but if you're charged with a crime (like we likely would here if God forbid need to defend ourselves) those kinds of companies have clauses in the agreement that allows them not to cover anything. See that case of the TH-cam prankster that got shot by the delivery guy in the mail mall (not sure what state that was in).
      Editing to add, the USCCAs are like insurance (for legal fees), where Attorneys on Retainer is an actual law firm. But like you said, look into them and you'll see.

The other thing is to remember that your permit is a permit, not a badge. There is NOT a new sheriff in town. If you wouldn't do it unarmed, don't do it wearing a gun, either. The only exception to that rule is, you're able to pull over and help people on the side of the road when it would otherwise be too great a risk.

    You are incorrect, you can lock it in your car. You have to lock in correctly. While the temporary injunction is in place which right now it is you can go to restaurant with a bar.

      @JayCostaUSA  10 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Yes, I have realized that we can lock in our car. But I dont believe your statement about bars with alcohol is correct. I think we CANNOT go to anywhere that alcohol is served until injunction is in place. Let me do some more research on this and provide an update. Hard to keep up with all of the changes. Thanks for tuning in!

      You are 100% right im in NJ also , got the stealthgear mini 3-4oclock holster with foam / weird material backing. Most comfortable holster ever, i carr a 1911 kimber ultra cdp. I tried all the appendix holsters, horribly uncomfortable. I dont even feel my gun with the SG MINI holster 3-4 ooclock plus amazing carry position for working also

    You really should read A4769 before spreading misinformation.
    Section 7 (b)
    (2) A holder of a valid and lawfully issued permit to carry a handgun shall not leave a handgun outside of their immediate possession or control within a parked vehicle, unless the handgun is unloaded and contained in a closed and securely fastened case, or gunbox, and is not visible from outside of the vehicle, or is locked unloaded in the trunk or storage area of the vehicle.

    Carrying a double stack pistol in NJ is pointless since we have a 10 round mag ban. Get yourself a single stack pistol until that’s overturned. I conceal a 5” 1911 easier than a Glock 19.
