    This is like asking "what gun should I get" or "what car should I purchase" without clarifying what your needs are.

    If this is money you are comfortable losing or taking some risk with I would say look at an ETF that shorts the market. In english that means you think market is going down. You/ETF sell shares you don't own at what you believe is a high price ($50). Once shares go low enough you buy shares back / cover your short position at lower price ($30) You keep the $20 difference between the higher price and lower price in above example. If market continues going up and you cover at higher price you lose the difference.

    Eventually government has to start raising interest rates. Many think it will be soon. Once that occurs stocks will take a hit for a number of reasons. How big of a hit depends on how big of a rate hike and how quickly they raise / continue raising it.

    I was just looking into new ones and i always like to find new ETF's to research and read about.

    That s all.

    I do undstand your analogy with the guns and cars though.

    So...I've read the entire thread...someone point me in the right direction! I'm definitely trying to get into this and I know damn well its easier than setting up my hookah every other night. I dont want to waste money on a shit setup. Id rather just bite the bullet and get something of quality. It could also possibly help me quit smoking!

    Go for it. Even with a basic setup you can stop smoking. I stopped in 1 day. I do try cigarettes now and then and they taste icky.

    I just find it strange why he wouldn't call and find out the reason for denial.

     

    It's speculation, I'm not stating anything as fact.

    Hopefully he updates us when he makes the call.

     

    At the end of the day. He is a future gun owner in NJ and we re all trying to help him.

     

    OP if you re reading this update us when you can on how things progress.

    So why hasn't OP called NJSP? unless he is here illegally or flat out lied on the 4473 no need to worry about calling NJSP and asking.

     

    Of course, if OP isn't holding a green card and lied he is committing a crime (lie on the 4473).

     

     

     

    I didn't tell him to do it, I suggested it. Providing he is here legally it's fine, he should know his immigration status and the FFL should have confirmed this with him before completing the 4473 and submitting NICS.

    There can be many reasons why the OP hasn't called NJSP. You cant generalize and make an assumption that because he didnt call them he is here illegally. I hope that s not what you meant to say.

     

    By the way.......if he has a green card in process he is here legally as prior you get a notice of action from DHS with your rights spelled out.

     

    Many times the NICS operators have issues in knowing and determining immigration status eligibility thus the delay when a non citizen buys a gun.

     

    You're stating some things here as a fact and only he can fill us in into the rest of the story.

     

    As he tried NICS again with his correct status after he made a mistake on the first one there is a reason why NICS has denied him. FFL can only see your documents that you re a non citizen ( passport or a DL....on the NJ DL it says Temporary Immigration Status in red).

    Eventually he will learn what it is and hopefully keep posting information here as he progresses.

    I told you on the other forum that you are not considered a legal permanent resident (lpr) until immigration gives you your green card.

    I dont doubt what you say but if immigration has not processed your application and given you the green card you are not yet.

    I told you to call NJSP, who runs NICS, and explain your situation . I have a feeling by doing what you did NJSP has now put you on a denial list until you straighten this out with them.

    Before you start throwing money at lawyers contact NJSP and see what they tell you.

    Did he post this elsewhere? What forum? PM me if you don't want to write here.

    I have an Alien number and a valid work permit. I got my work permit renewed at least 5 times already. A non immigrant who is legally here can buy a gun?

    What kind of visa are you on now? F/H/L/I-94 Refugee? If you are between any of these and permanent resident thats where the problem might be. Remember....until they give you the GC you are non immigrant....when you get it you are a permanent resident.

     

    A non immigrant can buy a gun if he satisfies the requirements. Check if you fulfill everything in the extended instructions on the 4473.

     

    I would call NICS/BATFE/FBI and have a chat with them. They can tell you if you are eligible. The state police saying immigration didn't approve is a good lead.

    None of the aforementioned about your personal situation (here since 2004, tax payer, house owner) matter when dealing with NICS as a non citizen/ non permanent resident?

    Not all who get denied NICS are criminals so you don't have to prove anything here that you re an honest guy. I was in the same boat as you. I am also here since 2004.

     

     

    Do you have an Alien Nr for your permanent residence status from your Notice of Action?

     

    When you get the card your alien nr and SSN get linked to your status ( permanent resident ).

    Obviously that hasn't happened yet since the GC is not issued to you.

     

    What type of visa or status do you currently have?

    The article does mention the requirement of tour taking prior to sampling. Looking foward to checking it out. We should have a local NJGF meet up once they offer the tour/sample. There are quite a few of us within 15 minutes of Middlesex Township (in Somerset County).

    Coming to this

    While I appreciate everyone's opinions, I think some folks are conflating the difference between "wear and tear" from use versus the  scratch I am upset over due to the way the slide lock was designed/inserted in this 1911. To be clear, I understand that guns will be subject to wear and tear - e.g. I own a Mosin from 1942 that was obviously used in combat and appreciate all of its dings and marks.

     

    The point of my post was to find a solution to removing a scratch to a BRAND NEW gun. Some people may think that is no big deal, and of course, you're entitled to your own opinion. But there's also nothing wrong with wishing to keep one's tools in pristine condition to the extent possible.

     

    Thanks,  

    Just curious.

    How many average rounds do you shoot in a year?

    I find that most people who worry about the aesthetics of the guns either have only one or two or shoot a few boxes a year.

    Unless you live in Jersey you can't buy guns in Jersey (or any other state you don't live in) that are illegal in the place that you do live. Not even to leave in another state. You can only buy guns out of state that are legal in the place(s) you legitimately reside.

    It is kind of funny that he chose Jersey for this. "NYC gun laws suck, I know, Jersey!" Maybe Bloomberg's minions are getting a little afraid of coming to PA nowadays. Just kidding ;)

    Sorry, bro! Doesn't work that way. If you are truly determined to live in NYC and own NY illegal firearms elsewhere, you are going to have to setup a 2nd residence in another state (such as Jersey I guess). And your sister's house does not count. That would obviously just be a convenient attempt to circumvent federal law unless you had real proof you resided there and a verifiable reason for doing so. I know I am not quoting law here but this is pretty much common sense on how this sort of sham would be treated. I know you didn't actually mean to do anything wrong but that is how it works.

     

    Why cant he have dual residency at his sisters house. Many people have this and they stay with their family part time.
