Quit cold turkey in 86, best decision in my life. No long story from me, just go back and read InFamous and Fatty’s posts, they hit the nail on the head. Good luck, don’t expect it to be easy, it’s the toughest battle you’re likely to ever have - your opponent being yourself.... I’d like to tell you the urge to smoke goes away in a few weeks - not true, could take at least a year. About 30 days into quitting smoking, you’ll be coughing up grey slugs of goop, that’s your lungs clearing up - it’s a good thing. Good luck (luck won’t help, this is real work). Keep us posted, come back and tell us how your making out. Be honest, again your opponent is yourself.

Heading up from the southern part of the state for a conference next weekend. Staying at the Sheraton Parsippany. I plan on checking out the Gun4hire facility while I’m up there. Anything, anyplace else in the area that might interest a gun guy? Gun store with a good selection of used S&W revolvers would be great!

I saw that 10 yards distance and believed it must be a typo. I do seem to remember 15 for pistol and 100 for rifle, but I couldn’t find any documentation for it (at least looking from my lazy boy last night).

Nice setup looks good! Since you moved down to the Glassboro area I was going to suggest you find and check out Fazio’s, but I see you’ve already figured that out. once you’ve settled at Quinton, be sure to look up Louu (NJGF member). I believe he is with the group that builds the steel for Quintons events. I’m thinking you guys could share some ideas

The following is excerpted from Quinton’s Club rules (Complete copy can be found on their website under the membership dropdown). ...C. RIFLE / PISTOL RANGE RULES 6. Personally-owned steel targets may be used if targets are set at least 10 yards from the firing point. They must be shaped so that the actual bullet impact area is flat and placed parallel to the firing line. All steel targets shall be removed from the range when the shooter is finished.

I’ve been able to keep my Ammo cost down by buying in bulk, but for all the regular reasons I want to learn the reloading game. I’ve been looking forward to getting into reloading for the past year or so. I have 3 Homer buckets of brass to get started. ‘Someone mentioned not cleaning revolver brass, sounds reasonable seeing most reloads are over a surface, and a lot of times the brass never touches the ground. Even with the brass looking clean I’d be concerned with the burnt and unburnt residue inside of the brass. My plan is to start (and learn) with .38 on the single stage, next step will be 3006 Springfield, after that I’ll look into a progressive press. I do appreciate to tips and comments I’ve been getting on this forum.

(Just my opinion) SJSC can’t compare with what Quinton has to offer for events (games). They simply don’t have the room.

Thanks for the great responses. ‘This is all new to me, I’ve got some hesitations but your responses build up my confidence.

I belong to both... I’ve been a member of SJSC for 6 years, I joined Quinton just last year. I’m 19 miles from SJSC, and 35 miles from Quinton. Hands down, if I had to give up one right now, it would be SJSC, so much more going on at Quinton. I shoot at least 2 of the competitive sports per month at Quinton. Members get a $5 discount at each event, so just the discounts pay for my membership (after the initiation fee). SJSC is good for me to get out for a quick 100 - 200 rounds of target practice. There seems to be more restrictions at SJSC (no holster draws being the big one). Also, not much you can do with a shotgun at SJSC (5 stand, trap, skeet, and sporting clays at Quinton). Tough call, I guess it depends on how much and what kind of experience you are looking for. Suggest you look at Quintons calendar and come down for one of the events to check it out - membership is not required for most of the events. I have friends and family members that are happy with USANA, and Mullica Hill Rifle and Pistol Club. I also hear of folks happy with Telco.

sequence of steps for a beginning reloader...loading 38 Special on a RCBS single stage. de-prime and size my brass, then clean it (vibratory), prime, powder, crimp....?

He’s Kidding! (I hope)

No sound and I’m not a lip reader, but I clearly heard “Oh Shit!”

My wife shopped for and bought her own S&W M&P 380Z - loves it. At lease give it a look....(where are you located?)

“I’m not a lawyer, but I stayed at a Holiday Inn once” isn't there a joke along that line? Seriously, my opinion, there are/will be consequences to documenting that information on a firearms permit application. Again in my opinion, it would be much more economical to invest in a professional opinion rather that trying to undue a mistake following poor (unprofessional) leagal advice. There is an ad for FREE leagal advice on NJ Firearms law for ANJRPC members, if you are not a member (again my opinion, you/we all should be), it’s only $40 annual fee.....a small price to pay for reliable information. Good luck with this, I’m glad you got the help you needed ..... if you get a chance, come back and let us know how things worked out....

I’m a member of MHR&PC, unfortunately I’ve already sponsored a new member this year, and we’re only allowed to sponsor one per year. I would recommend you check out our website, go ahead and submit an application. The listed membership requirements can be and often are waved. It’s a great little no frills rifle, pistol, and shotgun range. We run monthly CMP and pistol shoots (I call them shoots, rather than matches, as they are low key, non-competitive fun shoots). There is no clubhouse, no electricity, nor indoor plumbing. ‘Interesting membership, the club actually started on the Delaware River side of the state. Due to some zoning issues, the original Club was sold and the plot of land in Cumberland County was purchased and developed as the club exist today. Membership now represents folks from the original Delaware River side, a nice group from the shore areas, and most recently a lot of folks local to the club have joined. The guy that handles membership is a reasonable guy, let him know your current situation and he may be able to recommend some local members who may support you, or just have you come to a meeting and state your case.

Thinking of giving some Cowboy Action a try. The only venue I know of is Delaware Blues in Quinton, NJ (I’m So Jersey). Two quick questions... Is a Henry Big Boy Steel (tube fed) .357 good to go for the rifle? With two holstered pistols, after shooting the 5 rounds from the first pistol, do you reholster the first pistol before pulling the second? Are there rules ensuring the safe status of that first pistol before pulling the second?

Yeah, don’t need to be expensive to meet your needs, as a matter of fact you might be better off not having to worry about taking a big hit if lost, stolen, or damaged due to misuse (don’t lend your EDC to anyone). Kershaw Cryo (1555TI), meets all of your requirements and cost less than $40 (might even do better if you shop around). There are several sources out there where you can have it engraved with military, patriotic, sport, etc ensignias.

It was a simple Jersey legal shotgun from Cabela’s

Just bought a long gun in Delaware. Transported it home in the trunk of my car in compliance with NJ laws - no issues. Handguns are a different story, you’ll need to use an FFL to get it home.

Don’t look at these shoots as a “Compitetion”, look at them as just the next step from putting holes in paper (or ringing steel). Bunch of great peoples (male and female), for the most part out to have fun and work through defensive scenarios. Don’t need fancy equipment (but you’ll see some) center fire pistol, holster, 3 mags, 2 mag carriers, and 100 rounds (bring 150 just in case).

SJSC is a good range, notice all of the previous comments were positive, and I can attest to all of them being true. Just for the hell of it, check out Quinton Sportsman’s Club down in Salem County. Another great club here in South Jersey. Quinton is better suited if you have any shot guns in your arsenal. They also run some of the best USPSA, IDPA, and 3-Gun matches (all local matches). While you’re there, stop in at EMS Cafe, grab yourself a pork roll and egg sandwich....

Hope I don’t cause any heartache with this topic. The way I see it, for right now if I want to do a private transfer of a long gun in NJ. All we need to do is download State of New Jersey Certificate of Eligibility (S.P. 634 [rev. 04/05]), both party’s fill out their respective sections. As long as all of the questions are answered appropriately and FID’s are good and match DL - we should be good? i believe that last batch of bills signed by Murphy will eliminate private transfer, but does not take effect until 90 days after he signed it? Thanks for any thoughts or advice...

So I was a bit concerned... Long story short, I live within a few miles of Bob Bidden, being from the same area as Bob, I wanted to sign the petition for Anthony, but I felt there should be some loyalty to Bob (just because we were from the same area). Stopped in Bob’s shop the other day and was pleased to find (and sign) Anthony’s petition out on the counter at Bob’s Little Sport Shop in Glassboro. Bob was out, but his emplyee’s said Bob by all means supported Anthony for NRA Board of Directors. Problem solved....

Ant, When do you need to have these petitions returned to you (I’ll sign, and I’ll try to drum up a few more signatures). ’Burp!’
