BigHaggis13 3 Posted January 29, 2016 What's up everyone, I figured it wouldn't be a bad idea to sign up here since I've just started going through the motions to get my license. I've been shooting many times but never had my own gear, so I always relied on friends or rentals for range time, but I figured it's time to finally put on my big boy pants and get my paperwork done. I've lurked around on here a few times and decided it was worth it to sign up, it's nice knowing there's such an active community despite this being a rather strict state. I'm looking forward to finally having my own stuff for once. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BigHaggis13 3 Posted January 30, 2016 Thanks for the warm welcome! I get printed on the 11th, then I'm dropping everything off for the long wait. My girlfriend is also doing all this with me, but she's a little nervous having never done anything like it before so I plan on taking her to the range when it's not too busy to let her get a feel for things. You guys think I should start with a .22 like I had planned, or go with something bigger like 9mm? Just a simple rental at first to shake the cobwebs off and let us get some time in?

NJGF 375 Posted January 30, 2016 You guys think I should start with a .22 like I had planned, or go with something bigger like 9mm? I think .22 is great to get started with. No recoil and much quieter. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BigHaggis13 3 Posted March 25, 2016 Thanks again folks! My card and permits just came in yesterday, 43 days from submitting the paperwork. A little longer than i had hoped, but at least it wasn't months like I've seen it take some people. Going shopping for a safe today, and possibly making my first purchase as well! It's exciting, I'm not sure where to start or where to go. I know P&K is local and Shooters is pretty close, but I've never checked out either. I frequent shore shot, and I've been out to Cheyenne Mountain out in bordentown quite a bit, I've always been impressed with their selection. But if anyone has a favorite place to check out that doesn't mind a first time buyer picking their brains for a bit, I'm open to suggestions. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Schrödinger's cat 87 Posted March 25, 2016 A belated welcome, and I'm glad your permits came in. I like Steve from Monmouth Arms. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
