Got it working on my cellphone, this should be interesting and no doubt will reinforce my disdain for the Democratic Party.

Dam, it starts, then freezes, on my iPad. Was hoping to have an amusing lunch hour at work.

I read thru most of the document. I am extremely impressed with the quality of it’s content and how comprehensive it is. His discussion of security and firearms shows a good understanding of the topic. An excellent resource on the topic along with the book “Family Guide to Emergency Preparedness” which I also highly recommend.

Google’d “thomashoard1909”. If the resulting links are all yours, seems like you really get around. So are you 21or 27? It appears you are also interested in African Game Hunting. I am no big game hunting expert, but I don’t think your aforementioned AR will cut it there.

Mmmm, Interesting, perhaps odd, first post. Care to share why you are asking this in a New Jersey firearm forum? May help us provide better guidance.

Update: last evening received an email from Davidson’s that they received a shipment of model #1740 GP100 in 5” barrel length. It is exclusive to them. I had given up hope that the timing and availability would work out for me. I jumped right on it this morning and ordered it.

Thanks for the feedback regarding my selection of a GP100. Am still leaning toward the 6”. It’s extra 5oz of weight will also help tame the felt recoil. My ogam waiting period is not done for another 3 weeks or so. So I have another week or two to finalize my decision.

I had three P2Ps. Were part of my proactive “in case Murphy gets elected plan”. Last month picked up my Glock 43. Last week picked up my Ruger Mark IV Hunter, and in 3.5 weeks I plan to purchase a Ruger GP100 357 magnum. These are in addition to what I already own. After using the third and final permit, I will be done. I am nearing retirement so also wanted to get these purchases behind me while I am still gainfully employed. Still need to decide whether to go with the 4” or 6” GP100; but am leaning toward the 6”.

Howard that is correct. To further clarify: If, as I normally do, go alone and just intend to shoot one of their rental guns, I need to bring one of mine along. They dont care whether the gun you bring is a handgun or a long gun. Hence, my recommendation is nto bring a long gun so when traveling to/from the range, you can go anywhere you wish. Ie stop at a store, meet friends who live nearby, stop and eat whereever your want for as long as you want, etc. There is no benefit to bringing your handgun unless you also intend to shoot it while there.

I myself am careful what I reveal on a public forum, but with regards to the election, I will say that I have been hoping for the best while also preparing for the worst, for quite some time. Which reminds me, I think I have a fedex shipment coming today. (:-))

There are a variety of potential scenarios that could result in contraband being discovered. Eg house fire, home theft investigation, domestic dispute, child issues, you drop dead and your heirs now own contraband without them realizing it, .....and so on. Admittedly each is low risk, but stuff happens.

I think the results table I pasted into my post may not be displaying fully. Is there a way to read a thread so it uses the full width of the screen? Update: the above post looks fine on my PC screen. But the MOA results column is truncated when I try to view it on my iPad using Safari.

I did make it to EFGA on October 1st. My work travel prevented me from writing up a range report until now. As I mentioned above, that was my first time out with the rifle. So my objective was just to take it easy, get used to it's operation, and see how accurate I could be with it. Overall, I came away from the day very happy with it in all respects. No issues or concerns with it's build quality or operation. I am by no means an experienced precision shooter so had no preconceived expectations. I am confident the rifle is more accurate than I am. I shot from the bench on the 100 yard range. Bipod on the front and a bag at the rear. Initially, I shot some Aquila range .223 range ammo, but was not even hitting the target. So I moved to 50 yards, saw where I was hitting, and adjusted the scope. Then moved back to 100 yards, was on target, and zero'd the scope. Once I did that, the scope's adjustment remained constant and I mainly concentrated on group size. I shot a variety of the ammo brands and weights that I purchased and listed in my earlier post above. The results were as follows: Date Ammo MOA (per 5 shot group) 10/1/2017 Aguila 223x55 grain FMJ IPC#6-4042000305-4 2.98, 3.18 10/1/2017 Aguila 556x45mm 62 grain, FMJBT IPC#6-4042000324-5 1.156 10/1/2017 Aguila 556x45mm 62 grain, FMJBT IPC#6-4042000324-5 1.78 10/1/2017 Hornady Black #80267 223 75 grain BTHP 0.887, 0.992 10/1/2017 Hornady Black #81296 556 75 grain Interlock HD 0.783, 1.25 10/1/2017 Hornady Black #80234 223 62 grain FMJ 1.12, 1.38 10/1/2017 Hornady Black #81263 556 62 grain FMJ 1.65, 0.522/1.152 10/1/2017 American Eagle (Federal) 55 Grain FMJ #AE223J 0.75/1.71, 1.24, 1.59,1.91 10/1/2017 Norma Match TAC-223 55 grain FMJ #20157442/15-038/2567.3266 0.76, 0.984/1.51 Where I shot more than one group of 5 shots, the results are separated by a comma. Where I list x.xx/y.yy: the first number is the best 4 out of 5, the second number was for the whole group of five shots. They are listed in the order I shot over the course of 3-4 hours. So the Aguila's with the 3 MOA result were the very first bullets ever shot thru the barrel. Now that the barrel has had approx one hundred rounds thru it, next time I take it to the range, I plan to retest these and see how they do. I do realize that 55gr is not ideal for the rifle's 1:7 twist, but will be interesting to see if they perform any better now that the barrel has been "broken in". Interestingly, the Norma Match did well even though it is also 55 grain. It, along with the "Hornady Black #80267 223 75 grain BTHP" appear to be the best performers of the session. Next time will reshoot some of the above brands and also try some additional ones. Have since acquired several additional brands/weights of match ammo (e.g. Gorilla Ammunition, Black Hills ammo). When I first acquired the rifle, I encountered issue with getting the mags to lock into place. Had to bang the bottom of the mag with my palm to get it to lock into place. While I was initially concerned about this, it became less of an issue once I was at the range and had done numerous mag insertions. They still require a bit of force to lock into place but I would rather that than loose fitting mags. Overall, I am very happy with the firearm and am hoping I can get back out with it soon.

That is the cheapest I have ever seen them. If I did not already have an adequate supply of them, I would be submitting an order right now.

One option is for you store your items at Gunsitters in Whippany beforehand and retrieve them afterwards at your convenience. May provide you peace of mind during what may be a hectic time. I used them earlier this year when I and my family went on a Florida vacation. I posted a detailed writeup on my Gunsitters experience. Bear in mind that there is no moving exemption for hollow point ammunition. As absurd as it may seem, in that instance, you could have someone drive from old house to range, then from range to new house and stay within the exemptions.

I am currently traveling weekly to Atlanta for a work project. Just learned there is a range not far away from my location. Am looking forward to visiting the range in a few weeks. They even rent full auto firearms. I do plan to call them this evening to see if I can show up alone.

I am a member of Garden State Shooting Center. If you are alone and want to rent a gun, you must bring along one of your own guns. Otherwise it is a no-go, even if you have a FID and are a member. If all I plan to shoot during that session is their rental gun, I will take one of my long guns with me so I can go wherever I want traveling to/from the range without concerns of “unreasonable deviations”.

I have been a member of Garden State Shooting Center in Lakewood since it opened three years ago. I have also purchased most of my firearms there. Highly recommend them. Address is 1955 Swarthmore Avenue, Lakewood, N.J. They do have rentals. You need not be a member to shoot. Note that at ranges, you may not be able to rent if you go alone and do not bring your own firearm. In that case, bring a friend along with you. Check the range websites for their policies.

Wow, as luck would have it I am working on a project here in Atlanta as I type. I should swing by and give my down payment. I figure $100K down. All I need to do borrow the remaining 18 million or so. Don’t worry, I will invite all of my NJGUNFORUM friends to visit to shoot at my gun range. You can park your cars behind my waterfall and camp in my 15,000 sq ft extra room. (:-)

I am new to precision shooting and very recently purchased a RPR in 223/556. Have shot it once and my initial impressions are very good. Shot it at 100 yards with a variety of ammo. Was able to achieve several sub-moa groups (.7 thru .9) using premium factory ammo. Am very happy with the RPR and am confident it is more accurate than I am. Recoil was very light. Check out the snipers hide forums. A wealth of information there from people who are true experts. One thing I do recall reading there is that with calibers such as 6.5Creedmore, barrel life is limited, as compared to 223/556 and 308.

Brings to mind something someone once told me regarding legal proceedings: “Don’t answer a question that hasn’t been asked”. A few other considerations related to Q#26 in general: - it is a felony to falsify your responses. So you must answer truthfully and be confident you can defend your answers should they ever be questioned in the future. (I.e. if you get caught lying, you are screwed.) - once you answer “Yes”, you must always answer “Yes” in order to be consistent with your prior submissions. In my case, I have answered”Yes” on two subsequent P2P applictions and included a letter stating that I answered Yes in order to be consistent with my earlier applications. In that letter, I also affirmed(truthfully) that there has been no further treatment bla bla bla. These last two applications were routinely processed and approved without any issues. Hope this helps. And of course IANAL

Rob, congratulations. As Mrs. Peel stated, change is also stressful but in the long run things will work out fine once you get settled in and used to life in your new home. I myself greatly value my 2nd Amendment rights but unfortunately also feel like I am being coerced to move out of NJ. Dam shame given I was born and raised here. Also have lots of family here so cant fully up and move anytime soon. However, I am nearing retirement age and am increasingly thinking of buying a home in Pa and making that my primary residence; while maintaining an apartment in the area I presently live near family. The other constraint that I increasingly think about is the fact that the runway of life is growing ever shorter.

As someone who has had experience with Q#26, I don't think your situation rises to the level that would reasonably warrant answering Yes. My sense is a No answer would be defensible should it ever be questioned in the future. You must of course believe you are being truthful on the form. IANAL

I have shot at both Clinton and Collier-Mills numerous times, including several time recently with my young grandson. I have not encountered any major issues but am certainly very diligent regarding safety and observing the behaviors of any other shooters that are there. There was one occasion where a father and his two daughters were shooting. When the father went downrange to change his targets his daughters started touching his rifle. I instructed them not to touch any firearms while people were downrange and they complied.

I have been traveling on business for the past month. Am hoping to go to EFGA on Sunday to shoot my RPR for the first time.
