Who else here is from New Jersey?

I'm behind on this but from Burlington County, now live in Cape May County.

I grew up in South Jersey (Berlin; Camden County) and my oldest brother still lives there and so does my best friend. I'm not far from where I used to live, maybe 45 min, but I don't get to cross the WW to get there as much as I'd like.

Doomstu mentioned the Pine Barrens; I used to hang out in Batsto when I was a teenager and I've spent countless hours at Atsion Lake. Fun times.

And of course the shore was the place to be (Wildwood) growing up, but now I much prefer Cape May, since it's much, much more low key, or Ocean City, because it's a family resort and a dry town.

So Big, do tell. Where did you grow up in Jersey?

I once went "missing" at Atsion lake, the lifeguards pulled everyone out of the water and made a human chain to search for my presumably drowned self.

I actually just walked away and was exploring the woods at the age of 5. My poor mother.

I can only imagine how your mother felt. She was probably so panicked, and I can't blame her!

I'll be moving to Tennessee soon, so I'm really going to miss the Jersey shore. Like I already mentioned, I'm fond of Cape May. It's a very quaint town.

I've been just outside of Philly for years and always hated it. I should have stayed in Jersey.

I'm in Mercer County. Former Military, always planned on being a police officer however fate did not have that in its plan for me. I'm a Veteran Service Representative with the Dept. of Veterans Affairs in NJ. Anyone here who is a veteran or knows a veteran please feel free to contact me via PM.

Anyone w/ sufficient knowledge (ie prosecuters etc) what is the state ruling on assisted opening knives? The Switchblade act of 1958 was just amended to specifically exempt all spring assisted knives but a police officer friend of mine told me that his prosecuter says they are illegal. Any input would be appreciated.

vsrnj, your friend is correct, spring loaded knives in NJ are illegal. I'm not sure of the 2C statute off hand.
