I was researching surplus ammo cans and came across Berry's ammo boxes. I'm new to all this and I'm trying to find good ways to store my ammo, but I don't know if this is overkill in organization or it's common knowledge to put your ammo in plastic boxes. Is it just for OCD people? Is storing ammo in their original cardboard boxes ok? Thanks!

Hmmm. I'm pretty sure I made the right choice, but I love those SS Kimbers and the price is right. Not looking too good right now as of 11am on 11/4.

Just did. Springfield Armory Mil-Spec 1911 for less $ than I would've expected.

No kidding. Just got my permit on Friday afternoon. I'm moving as fast as I can.

Looking at a couple "inexpensive" 1911s on gunbroker. Somewhere between $500-750. Remington R1, Rock Island, Sig Nitron, Kimber, etc... I understand I am paying a bit more than the market was a year or two ago, but I am fearful it could go up again after the election. So, is it a reasonable bet that the prices could go down?? Or is it more likely the prices will climb? Thanks for your expert speculation!

Hi! New guy here. This post is NOT a knock on the FFLs in NJ, but just asking about the state of the gun market in NJ & other states. So high #’s of NJ citizens are getting their P2P right now. The market is red hot. So much that availability of firearms and ammo is low and prices are creeping (skyrocketing?) higher. Is this worse in NJ than in neighboring states? Should I drive into central PA to purchase there? Drive even further?? Or is it EQUALLY bad all over so stay in NJ? This past July, I was in a rural shop in western NH and they had TONS of inventory. I’m a shop local guy but I’ve walked into a couple NJ places and seen super long lines. I can’t devote a half day to simply talk to a salesman. Let alone, hardly any inventory to pick from. Thanks for your advice! Dave

Thank you, Mrs. Peel! I respect your opinion.

LOL. Most definitely PORK ROLL.

Hello! So apparently, I will be one out of the seemingly tens of thousands of new NJ gun owners this month! Lol! Looks like it's not the greatest time to exercise my 2ndA rights, BUT most importantly better late than never. I applied the end of August, got my prints in early Sept., and the Florence Twp PD Det. told me to expect an answer by the end of this month. It all started when my bro-in-law asked me if my wife would be comfortable with a gun in the house. Being a daughter of a NJARNG Colonel, she was used to being around her dad with them being in house. It kinda snowballed from there. Two of my friends decided to get their permits, another friend of mine has been a longtime NRA member and took me shooting, of course the riots scare the bejesus out of any sane person, it seemed like a good time to be properly prepared in home protection. I'm not a total newbie. I served in the NJARNG in the 63rd Army Band in Sea Girt, NJ for several years. So, I quickly learned to LOVE shooting my M16A2. I earned a "Sharpshooter" rating in my qualifying. Not a brag, just simply saying I'm not a wet-behind-the-ears newbie. I plan to purchase a pistol or two, will store and transport it to the letter of the law, will practice at the very least yearly, become a NRA member, and do everything correctly. I'm what they call an "ATGATT" motorcyclist. If you don't know what that is, just know that means I take safety very seriously. So my gun ownership will be no different. I sincerely look forward to picking your brains and hopefully becoming a humble knowlegeable source for future members. -Dave
