Reached out to the trooper in charge of my application. He mailed everything out to the courts and as soon as a judge signs it and sends it back he will print up my NJ License to Retail Firearms (or some such). I'm hoping to hear that it's in the mail by the end of next week (Fri July 10th or so). As soon as it's on the way I will call ATF and get the ball rolling. The agent there that I have spoken with has been incredibly helpful on this little journey. I'm looking forward to meeting him and virtually shaking his hand or at least fist bumping. It looks like this will actually happen. I will be making a website as well with a splash page with basic information/contact information. Nothing fancy right now. Just something to get the word out.

@Cheflife15 I do think you are chasing a ghost. 90% it’s not the gun, it’s the booger hooking the trigger. 2 cent free intronet advice

I have tools you can borrow. Do it yourself . You got this

All very good points. It's a crazy world we're living in! G-d help our children and grandchildren.

Try Oakridge Firearms, Have dealt with Tom, Great guy

I just got off the phone with ATF. My application packet should be here in a week or so. I also spoke with the superior court judge's clerk. She has my retail license and will be turning it around to NJSP either tomorrow or Monday. So that "shoulddddddd" be in my hands in a week and an half or so.

A flume is a device that monitors your water meter and tells you in real time if water is being used and how much. It will alert you if there appears to be a leak. I was walking out to the meter I found a sprinkler head :). Under the bus I go. Some Thursday morning comedy at my expense. You're welcome.

... and they are not necessarily "pro-2A" and subscribe to the standard liberal position of "protection for me but not for thee". They are still programmed to believe in "common sense" gun laws.

Me three as does everyone I've ever introduced to shooting. My daughter told her preschool teacher that red means dead when asked what the red light means on a traffic light. Lol

Good thing all those rocks were there to break your fall.

Kill them and replace with bigger rocks

I ordered the gauge yesterday. ETA tomorrow I think.

1. · School teachers are the number one occupation of the Antifa terrorist organization according to the FBI. 2. · Racist. Noun. Someone who opposes race riots. 3. · It took Nancy Pelosi 34 years to get offended by those Confederate statues. 4. · 50 years of Affirmative Action is finally paying big dividends for America, huh? 5. · The communists living within the CHAZ “country” of Seattle have run out of food and supplies and are now begging for help. Welcome to actual communism morons! 6. · Maybe it’s the people, not the cops, that need better training. 7. · Liberals are attacking conservatives and pushing for a civil war. If Liberals wanted peace, there would be peace. If the Conservatives wanted war, there wouldn’t be any Liberals. 8. · Should the Pyramids be torn down since they were built by slaves? 9. · Robbery in progress. Better go online and see how civilians think we should handle it. 10. · I haven’t seen a single welfare office set on fire anywhere. 11. · Our country will become a better place when everyone realizes there are only two kinds of people in it…. Good people and bad people. Ethnicity doesn’t matter. 12. · BLM. = Burn. Loot. Murder. 13. · While we are getting rid of stuff, let’s get rid of rap music that promotes violence and hate. 14. · Are we the only country dumb enough to start another civil war because we are offended by the first one? 15. · In 1933 Hitler appointed Hermann Goring Minister of the Interior. His first orders were to defund and eliminate police departments so that they would not interfere with his Brown Shirts whose mission it was to riot, burn, beat up, and kill citizens in an effort to sway the elections. 16. · Are you being treated poorly by the police? Well, have you tried not breaking the law to see if that helps? 17. · Does anyone see the irony in the fact that the Floyd funeral spectacle had a police escort? 18. · Minneapolis has a democrat police chief, a democrat mayor, and a democrat governor; yet the republicans and Trump are at fault. 19. · Strange how you can watch a televised funeral with hundreds in attendance after being told you can’t go to your own family’s funerals or your own family’s kids’ graduations. Think maybe you are being played?

Glock 19.

That’s where all the gun laws have come from. Dems didn’t want blacks armed in 38 now they don’t want anyone but their security armed in 2020. $75k a a day for Minneapolis town council “ private security “

Ok got ya! You are definitely correct in that respect. I did have to have a talk with her that she's not allowed to tell anyone that daddy carries a gun because we don't want the bad guys to find out

Unfortunately i predict the average new gun owner is buying a pistol for the house and not interested in the restrictions they will put on rifles etc.

Yet up here when I would drop her off at school in the morning. Me, the principal and the police chief would chat about our kids shooting their red riders and when were going to graduate them to .22s. It was this past year and I live in northern New Hampshire where guns a normal part of daily life. Even many liberals up here are not anti gun. @Krdshrk 1 she will be shooting way before she drives so I have to prioritize. 2 its not like she's completely wrong, the consequences for someone not stopping for a stop light could be death

Can you tell us what kind of cameras you are using? Resolution looks great. Thanks

Good for her! If you were still in NJ, DYFS would already be en route to relocate your daughter to a reeducation facility at an undisclosed location. They'd give her back when she turns 18. Maybe.

Ehhh... That kinda looks like any old kydex holster maker on the internet... You're more than welcome to try my Safariland that I have for my M9A3... but then again I have the rail on it so not sure how it would fit.

@Zeke gives @Bully the downvote.

What I love most about my Q5 is the trigger! I won't be changing it!

Not fer nuffin. But walther has a rep for the best striker triggers stock.

A cheap, less than $20 punch kit on Amazon, any small hammer and a roll of tape! Go for it.......It comes with the gun hobby!

@kc17 buy the gauge.

That's unfortunate if this is true. I try to avoid buying anything from vendors that flat out state they will not sell or ship perfectly legal items to states with restrictions. Some vendors will state no CA and NY, but NJ is fine. I still skip those and move on to someone else. I find it appalling when a vendor that sells anything firearms related is willing to shoot the 2A community in the foot.

Just saw this thread for the first time. Congrats and good luck.

@Rob0115 and anyone else following. At the meeting tonight it was stated the guy handling new members is working through a backlog of over 150 emails. He has asked for patience.

Guys if you didn’t attend don’t troll this. It was a great time and you are seriously a buzz kill.

You guys are killing me. Reloading was supposed to save me money. I'll stick with what I've got now. I don't think there's a risk of me blowing up my gun or house as long as I'm not stupid.

The following are my opinions only and they come from someone with much less experience than many here. Also, the only Southpaw in my family is my Mother, so I can not offer direct advise there. Some mfg are more accommodating to lefties than others. You probably already knew that though from Rifles. Do not go larger than 9mm, 22 is best, but there will be limited options there. Fondle as many as you can. Heavier guns have less felt recoil. Longer barrelled guns increase the distance between the sights which makes it easier to aim. You don't "need" a $1500 1911 as your first handgun. Budget priced guns are great to start with while you decide what features you like and dislike. Some mfg have multiple size backstraps to accommodate various hand sizes. Some handguns allow you to remove the FCU (fire control unit) and install it into a third party frame for even further accommodations and customization. Just like with Rifles, the quality of the trigger matters. Dry fire anything you're permitted to. Revolvers are still a thing and some swear by using them as a platform to learn trigger discipline. Zeke will tell you to buy a SIG.

2000 lbs

CZ 75 P-01 Omega 9mm (usually hard to find but excellent) CZ P-07 9mm (more plentiful and an excellent shooter and excellent price and availability) CZ 75 B and D models 9mm CZ Shadow 2 (pricey but incredible shooter) 9mm Various Model Beretta's 9mm Sig Sauer P-226 and P-229 9mm

I am really liking the Beretta M9A3... the Walther Q5 SF match... eh. Was way too heavy. And it is still not as good as a CZ SP01, especially a custom shop model at that price point. But seriously... 1911.
