Vendor(s) to avoid: Garrison Grips
Dr. Goodshot replied to Grima Squeakersen's topic in General Discussion
One highly conspiratorial thought that occurred to me is that the website is fake and someone created it just to harass the person whose phone number is on it. You know, sort of like the way people write "For a good time call (phone number of someone you don't like)" on bathroom stalls. A little crazy, I know, but not outside the bounds of possibility... -

Dr. Goodshot replied to Grima Squeakersen's topic in General Discussion
That is very strange. What is weird is, when you go to their site, the customer service number is listed very prominently in a large font at the top of their page. And customer service is the first link at the top of the page. No other site does all that. It looks like they really want you to call them, only so they can tell you to eff off.... -
You might be interested to know, I received four permits last year. On my application confirmation, one of the items listed is "Payment to the Issuing Police Department": $8.00. That $8.00 was apparently the fee for the four permits, because when I received my notification that the permits were ready, they were immediately ready to go. I never had to go into the department to pay. It looks like the $8.00 was me paying in advance. So maybe it varies from department to department. so that some want to you go in after you're approved, others want you to pay in advance when you apply online. ??? If you have a similar item on your application confirmation, you may already have paid.

Catching up on recent NJ changes
Dr. Goodshot replied to sroc112's topic in Current New Jersey Gun Laws Discussion
The insurance you need is not allowed to be sold in the state of NJ, yet you are required to have the insurance. The insurance requirement does not kick in until July, so the thing should be worked out by then. See podcast #117 at gun.lawyer, which talks about this very issue.... https://gun.lawyer/episode-117-size-matters-and-other-lies-cops-tell/ -
Question 24/26 on Application for firearms purchaser

Definitely. Most of your transactions will be by phone and email, I'm pretty sure... -
Question 24/26 on Application for firearms purchaser
Dr. Goodshot replied to DonM77's topic in New Firearms Owners Corner
Actually, I think it might be worse than we are saying. I suggest going to gun.lawyer and listening to podcast #115. It talks about this very issue. https://gun.lawyer/episode-115-thousands-turned-into-felons-fpics-void/ -
Question 24/26 on Application for firearms purchaser
Dr. Goodshot replied to DonM77's topic in New Firearms Owners Corner
I recommend consulting with a firearms attorney and see what they recommend. They will almost for sure say, get a letter from a doctor saying that you're OK to handle firearms. This will cost a bunch of money, both the attorney and the doctor, but I think it's better than having the cops discover your visit to the hospital and asking you, "Hey, how come you didn't tell us about this?" -
I have one of those and I must chime in that mine is also solid. Once it is locked in the open, unfolded position, it is as if it were one solid piece. You wouldn't even know that it comes apart, so tightly does it lock.

I know someone who loaded up a 10-round Magpul 9mm Glock 19-compatible magazine, then later decided he wasn't going to shoot it after all, so he unloaded the rounds. When he was done, he realized there were 11 rounds in his hand, not 10. He then reloaded the rounds into the 10-round magazine and noticed that all 11 fit in there. And the one on the top was not any less firmly in there than the 10th one when there were 10. I was wondering if anyone else knows anyone who has noticed this. Are 10-round Magpul magazines really 11-round magazines? I am not saying this happened in NJ. It could have been in another state....

How do you ship a handgun for repair?
Dr. Goodshot replied to Dr. Goodshot's topic in Firearm Hobby / Sport Discussion
But at least the shipping went well without a hitch. That is great. That means that the advice I was given, "just send it and don't tell them what's in it," is workable. Don't ask don't tell. Technically they don't allow guns to ship from individuals, but if they don't know what's in the box then they can't do anything. I suppose there's always the danger that an eagle-eyed employee might notice it's going to a place called Ruger, and that Ruger is a gun maker, and so it must be a gun.... That statement of "they don't tell us what it is" is indeed very strange. It suggests that maybe the driver knew there was something in there, and he was just going to keep his eyes and mouth shut ... ??? -

And are you planning on having UPS come to your place and pick it up directly from you, or are you planning to go to an FFL and have them ship it for you? -

The UPS policy just went into effect this last August, and the FedEx one went into effect some time last year. https://thefirearmfirm.com/shipping-firearms-not-on-ups-your-not/ https://bulletin.accurateshooter.com/2022/01/shipping-guns-via-fedex-now-limited-to-ffls-govt-agencies/#:~:text=IMPORTANT%3A FedEx policies now prohibit,into effect in Q3 2021. -

These are apparently brand new rules that UPS and FedEx just implemented (see the links above). No firearms shipped by individuals any more. I don't think it would matter who creates the label.
