Duppie

Look' I hear you and can't help but agree with the gist of your argument. But I approach this as living in a imperfect environment with imperfect laws administered by imperfect people. I'm old enough and I believe savy enough to recognize that nothing short of a massive ground swell of opposition of our laws will change our inenviable positions as gun owners in this state. So in the interim I learn as much as I can of the pitfalls and try to avoid them. My responsibility... not theirs.

In a former profession I had the pleasure of working rather closely with hard working and dedicated beat cops in NYC and truly have a lot of respect for those on the force, however since moving to the burbs,I see what some of the small town cops have been reduced to in the pretense of holding up the law and feel sorry more than outraged. I don't believe that most of new cadet classes realized that the bulk of their duties would be in essence... tax collecting rather than law enforcement and by the time they do, it's too late. So I can't really fault them for not knowing every letter of some very arcane and complicated laws especially since most of their days are spent involved in actions most of them despise.

I am so happy to find NJGF and thanks again to all of you. I used the Ammoengine {Hats off Rifleman 1} website to order 250 rounds each of 9mm and 38's along with 2 HK speed loaders from Sportsman Guide and was able to use their $20.00 coupon which expires today. So basically the shipping was free.Great resources Gentlemen.

Good to know. So I am not required to separate my pistols from their magazines and spare ammo I carry in my range bag.That's why I asked the questions. Thank you.

I am interested in purchasing ammo inexpensively from various online dealers and was wondering what were the laws governing such transactions in NJ.And who was in your opinion the best in that category? I'm new to the shooting sport and not about to order thousands of rounds in 2 different calibers at a time but still want to keep about 250 rounds of 9mm and 38's on hand. Perhaps there's a local vendor that fits the bill. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

I finally received my permits in December from East Brunswick after a wait of 4 months, but had no problem getting 2 permits at the same time and later on another 90 day extension on a remaining one when I couldn't find a particular firearm.Congrats to you though.

With the hand cannon? The kid was rattling the windows with that pistol.

Agreed. But as I replied to Harry's question as I understand it, this is what was relayed to me and my source, Notice I used "Supposed"in my reply and further indicated that wey're was so few resources. Again my question remains... Is anything I was told patently untrue?. Please I do not want to seem combative but only wish to clarify what little info I do possess to be factual.

Forgive me.... Are you saying It's not? As I explained,I'm seeking the forum's knowledge and experience in this particular matter and expect some snark, but it's hardly helpful.

As I was informed from my ex father in law, a retired agent and avid RV'er. Just about every state that attaches a CCW permit to a drivers license will require you to inform A LEO stopping you by handing over your carry card along with the drivers license. As for legally transporting without a CCW,the states supposedly are Ohio,Alaska,and Montana.However wey're are apparently instances where regional/local municipalities and law enforcement entities either ignore or interpret their state's laws rather differently wey're is so little definitive info on the subject that I thought that this forum would be the place to gather what necessary info I needed in order to remain within the laws of the state and not become another expensive and embarrassing news blurb. For some reason "wey're" is un editable. My apologies.

I was there this afternoon and you were cranking, to the point where some of your guys was asking when you were getting another register.There was a class going on and 8 stations were filled at 2:30 in the afternoon. Just wanted to say that I really like the energy and vibe I've encountered at SS and look forward to introducing my wife to her first shooting experience with SS in the future.

I too was a recent permit holder in search of 2 pistols, One for the range, and the other for home defense. Started my search on line to compare prices and then visited 3 stores, 2 in NJ and 1 IN PA, The difference in courtesy,willingness to share knowledge,helpfulness and lack of judgment or snark was like night and day between the one PA store and the two NJ stores, both of which repeatedly regaled me with the fact that there are so few gun shops in NJ and they have been around the longest and are true professionals.That may indeed be true but their customer service skills left a lot to be desired. Unwillingness to let me handle the pistols even when I had all proper credentials,answering questions with one word answers,lack of info with wait times for out of stock items and by far my favorite is "Why you want that piece of crap for?" not to mention a transfer fee of $95.00 plus $15.00 for the call from my Neighborhood gun shop. Finally found Ira at Legend Arms in Marlboro who not only shared info freely,but did transfers for $42.10 total and sold me a Sig I liked for a fair price. He has my business simply because he answered his phone,gave me the time this type of purchase demands and is fair in his pricing.

Thank you Gentlemen for your answers and I look forward to future participation.

Hello Folks. Brand new to this forum and I am sure that this question have arisen, perhaps numerous times. What is the correct procedure if in a routine traffic stop with my pistols and range bag in the trunk?. all properly separated,locked, and stowed according to NJ laws. Am I required to inform the officer of the firearms immediately? Wait till he asks a pointed question? or is it a matter of nobody's business but my own? I know in some states you are required to inform any LEO involved in a routine stop immediately of any firearms and ammo in the vehicle. I also am aware that you have to show somehow that you were either on the way or returning from a authorized firing venue. What say you?
