  1. I have been browsing Youtube for examples of cleaning and just the whole activity and it makes a lot more sense now that you guys told me what to do and I was able to see it done. You mentioned before that Maryland Style traps require a $2 permit - are the Danielson ones I mentioned considered a "Maryland Style Trap?" If I wanted to use the Danielson trap, since it requires a permit, would I get those permits at a bait and tackle shop as well, or even Walmart? Also, do the permits for the crab traps only last the season as well or are they good for as long as I have/use the trap? Also, does each trap require its own permit? Just looks like they would be easier to use since the crabs can't escape on their own so once they are in, they are stuck. I do not have a boat and would plan to just toss them from the shore. Chicken for bait seems like a good way to go, easy to get a hold of and not too expensive. When you say a clamming permit is good for the season, what qualifies as the season? How long until the permit expires? Not sure what the "clamming season" is. Do you need to keep the clams wet and cool as well, like you mentioned for the crabs? I figured I might as well get a cooler and fill it with ice water and just throw the crabs I get in there as I catch them; would the same be necessary for clams? I know how I would cook them, I love me some crabs and clams, the part I was unsure about was getting the darn things lol. One other thing regarding both clamming permits and the crab trap permits; can I just walk into a bait and tackle shop, ask for a permit, and be given one and go about my business? Or does it take time before I receive it? Also, if I go with someone, does each person need their own permit? Fishnut - that would be pretty cool if we could go together, though I would like to do a little more research on the types of traps beforehand.. I don't currently have any of the equipment haha, and like I mentioned, I have no boat.
  2. I wouldn't eat a crab I find dead, but basically what you are saying is to keep the live crabs I catch in a cooler with ice and they will be safe to eat? I was a little confused about that, since it sounds like you aren't supposed to eat the crabs you catch dead since the toxin will be present, but then my question was how do I kill the crabs without releasing the toxin? Is the crab alive when I go to clean out the gills and all or is it like cooking lobster where you kill it first? Also, how long would you say before the toxins for the crabs are released, or does it happen as soon as the crab dies? I eat crabs and clams all the time, but only ones I buy in a store or order in a restaurant, never ones I went and caught myself fresh from the sea. .
  3. Thanks you guys for that great info. So just to clarify, for crabbing I need no special license or permit for anything unless I leave the traps out overnight? I was looking at these square traps with little doors on the sides that open and close, so I guess overnight traps are something else. What are the traps called when the entire side of the traps open, and when there is just a little door that only allows them to come into the trap but not out? I can't figure out the difference between them as I would prefer to get the latter. For clamming, what type of permit do I need, or is there just one general type of permit and I am good to go? I was looking at a clam rake as well, and from what I read, it doesn't sound to difficult to use. I guess my next followup question about the permit for clamming is, and please don't laugh at me haha, where do I get permits? I have firearms and I know firearm permit/license procedures change from county to county, so do crabbing and clamming laws/procedure change as well? Also, I had to go through the State Police to get my permits and licenses for my firearms, do I go through the police for clamming permits as well or someplace else? I live in Allentown NJ, and have another house in Wildwood. Not sure if that matter or not but figured I would throw it out there. Would one clamming permit be good for the entire state or would I need one for the area I wish to go clamming in? Also, do the permits expire or need to be renewed at all? I am glad that clams need no special preparation to eat; is there anything I should do to them before I steam them? I was confused about crabs - I read that there is a toxin in crabs that ruins the meat when they die... Is that true at all? I feel like it isn't. Also, does it matter if I keep the clams and/or crabs in water when I catch them or can I just stick them in a cooler? If you keep them in water, is it saltwater or freshwater? Also, when is the best time to go crabbing and clamming?
  4. I was wondering what the laws/process was for crabbing and clamming? I never really went fishing with anyone before, nor have I been crabbing or clamming, but I have seen people in South Jersey, mainly Wildwood area, doing these types of things along the sides of the road or on the beach and was wondering if there is anyone out there that can shed a little light on these activities. I have become interested in trying it for myself, mainly crabbing and clamming, but don't really know where to start. Do I need any special license for saltwater crabbing/clamming or can I just go? Also, what types of equipment would I need? Not looking for this to be anything crazy expensive or anything, just an occasional, fun activity I can try out. Also, if I go crabbing or clamming, what is the process to clean them so I can eat them? Do I need to do anything special to ones I personally gather myself, or can I just treat them as if I bought them? Any help and direction would be greatly appreciated! I feel a little silly asking these types of things, but I need to start somewhere and would rather hear it from people who have done it!
  5. Anyone on this forum happen to metal detect? I have been hitting some beaches after hours but was wondering if I could get some other locations that some members have been to aside from the beach. I know state and federal property is mostly off limits, but anyone ever find parks, fields, or woods that were accessible and allowed?
  6. Alright guys - thanks for all the input. I have an additional question. Now, this will probably sound stupid to all of you, but since this is for my first handgun, I am a little confused about the labeling of 9mm ammo. I have seen ammunition labeled as simply "9mm" and then quite a few labeled as "9mm luger". What is the difference between these two, if there even is a difference? Will a handgun chambered in 9mm take 9mm luger? Probably a noob question but just want to make sure I am using the right ammo.
  7. I am planing on hitting a range Tuesday to shoot my new 9mm and was thinking of going to Dicks tomorrow to get some ammo for my guns. I know my Dicks carries "Remington 9mm UMC cartridges" in bulk for a fairly inexpensive price. Anyone have any experience with this ammo as far as quality and jamming issues?
  8. Hey guys, so I just got my new handgun and I am confused about one little thing - is there not a traditional "safety" on the Walther P99 AS model? I know there is the round indicator, but is there no way to lock the gun like on other firearms? I have rifles and shotgun with safeties so maybe handguns are a bit different, but wanted some of your guys' guidance.
  9. My situation was a little different... I was arrested and only my shotgun was taken as evidence. Upon the month or two later that the case was officially dismissed, I was able to call up the Cherry Hill PD and make an appointment with the detective handling the case to get my property back. I was able to retrieve it no problem, and have no criminal record, and this is my only problem with law enforcement. Someone who posted earlier made a good point, with saying since the case was dismissed, my gun returned, and at no point did I lose my FID, I should be fine. I think that your situation may have been a bit different,though I am not going to ask you to disclose it.
  10. I agree, now that I think about it... I also got my shotgun back so I am thinking that if I was prohibited to purchase firearms since that incident, they would have taken my FID card, and especially not returned my shotgun. Although, I am just concerned that seeing a firearm related offense, even if it was dismissed, my property returned, and I do not actually have an illegal assault weapon, might still make the guy approving and denying applications uneasy. This one incident is my only arrest, and I have no other arrest records or criminal charges or anything.
  11. So pretty much what I am gathering from your guys' opinion is this shouldn't cause for a denial of a permit?
  12. an entire police department including a supervisor. With how many cops and flashing lights there were, you'd think they found a bazooka mounted on top of my car.
  13. No I was arrested in Cherry Hill NJ by Cherry Hill PD, and am applying for one handgun permit in through the state police in Hamilton NJ. I live in Allentown.
  14. I know they are different, however, in a state that already is fussy with handing out guns I was wondering if seeing an arrest charge for a firearm related incident would prevent me from obtaining a permit to purchase another firearm. I do deal with the state police, so my paperwork is with them so I do have more faith in them that they will see the charge, laugh at it, and then grant my permit. However, still figured I would ask as that is a lot of money to lose. I found a dealer that could order my exact firearm I want, however it will cost me about 700 after taxes, and other fees. He said he needs the full payment to order to gun, but once I order it, it is mine even if I do not get accepted for the permit. He said I could sell it but I would hate to be without that much money for an unknown amount of time, granted it is a hot item. I also doubt a dealer would be willing to special order a gun for someone who they didnt think would be able to take it but I am new to handguns. To the people suggesting I have the record expunged, I am working on getting that done, but currently do not have the funds to see that through. That is something that, once I am in a place to afford, I am going to get that done no questions asked. Just wanted to know if seeing a firearm related arrest charge, though it was dismissed and my gun returned, would cause them to be iffy on granting me a handgun permit.
  15. I am curious if this would prevent me from obtaining a handgun permit. I already have an FID. I have an arrest record (only 1 incident) with having a pump action 12 gauge pistol grip shotgun listed as an assault weapon. Now, that forum post is on this site as well, so all details can be seen if you so desire, but long story short, that law only applies to semi-atuo shotguns, not pump. I had the case officially dismissed and my gun returned, however, I still have it on my arrest record. My question is would this prevent me from being accepted for a handgun permit? I only ask because I am interested in a handgun that is in high demand, and difficult to obtain,and so I am being asked to put a full payment on it in order to receive it and would hate to loose 6-700 bucks if I am denied. Thank you in advance!
  16. Just got done submitting the paperwork and everything else for my handgun permit. They had a combination of both paperwork to be turned in to them, (the permit form and mental health consent form), but the criminal background check needed to be done online and paid for online. I submitted everything a bit earlier and now I guess I just wait to hear back on when they are free to pick up. I know I have some time to wait but I am already excited! And of the officer manning the reception area was very courteous and helpful so that certainly helped. He disappeared 2 or 3 times to ask his sargent some of my questions to make sure that I was doing the right things which I appreciated. Hopefully it doesn't take too long! I have been looking into Walther handguns... anyone know what prices I can expect, as well as availabilitiy for the P99, PPK, or PPS all in 9mm? I heard that they are more expensive than most, is that true?
  17. I am still looking at some ranges, as the Woodland Park one is over an hour from my house. Does anyone know how the separate room work for shooting different guns? do I have to pay twice to use different rooms as opposed to paying a flat fee to use a lane which allows for shooting any firearm? Also, some of these ranges do not mention shotgun use which is upsetting to me. in terms of shoot what I want where I want, I do not want to be a jerk, but I also do not have the money and time to drive longer distances and to pay for mutliple rooms when I want to go shooting or for outdoor memberships. I do not mind if someone next to me shoots something loud, as it has happened before and I am ok with it. WHile on the idea of outdoor ranges, anyone know how Assumpink work? I believe I spelt it right. I have driven through it and have seen people parked along the sides of a dirt road and setting up shotgun and archery equipment but have never seen any sort of officials there to either pay or oversee things. Is that a free outdoor range or am I missing something? I heard you need a hunting license to use it but is that true?
  18. I did not realize the paperwork for handgun permits was the same as the FID paperwork, and I do remember getting a few pages of instruction with it, so hopefully they still hand those out with the paperwork. Regarding the references, what do they ask exactly, and is it done via the phone or some other medium? When I was applying for my FID, the two I used for references were actually called and asked a question or two and that was it. What questionnaire are you refering to?
  19. Thanks! that was helpful information. So I actually need to pay twice for the permits? Once upon submitting the application and then again when I pick up my permits? Instead of a money order, would a check be accepted? That way I can just ask when I hand in the forms how much I owe? You have a valid point about if I am rejected for whatever reason, I lose money if I put a deposit or whatever on the gun. How long are the permits good for once I pick them up? What happens if they expire before I purchase or find the gun I want? Also I had a question about the main form (not the mental health one). So at the top, I only check the box for handgun permit and write how many I want? That turns that paperwork into a pistol permit application instead of a FID application like I did before? Also, I am assuming that the spot on the form asking for "N.J. FIREARMS ID CARD/SBI NUMBER" are simply the digits in the "number" field of my FID? Everything else is the same?
  20. This might be a dumb question, but how does one go about buying something like that online? Do I go to a gun shop and tell them the link? How does that work, I never ordered a gun online before.
  21. This range can be used by the public correct? I do not need a membership?
  22. Do these ranges allow for the same lane to be used across all firearms? I would like to also bring my rifle (22lr) and shotgun (12gauge)
  23. I have been interested in a 7.62x39 ak style rifle for some time. I already own a GSG but that is a 22. I am aware of Saigas and WASRs, and know that Saigas are typically more expensive, but what should I expect to pay for both of these? Also, is it true that Saigas do not come in wood furniture; as I love the look of it over the black synthetic. Are there any other ak style rifles, in 7.62x39 that are reliable, yet are not very expensive? I was hoping to spend in a ideal world around 500 or 600. Also, as I have never really looked for them, are the ammunition for these easy to locate? I am familiar with Sportsman Center, Cheyenne, Dicks, and my current range, Ready Aim Fire as far as ammo purchases. What is also the going rate for this ammo? Any help would be awesome. Thank you!
