    was just thinking of buying a platform i would be able to grow into with practice.  

    It's just like any other hobby and your budget, spend what you're comfortable with but realize there's not much point in over-spending to gain any material performance advantage from the gear.

    My personal opinion, and I'm sure that there are those who will disagree, is that for most of us it's not the firearm that will hold us back but rather our skill level.  For that reason I recommend for those just starting out or are up to an intermediate level, just go with what you already have.  If you don't have anything, get something reasonably priced from a reputable manufacturer.  Here's a place to start.

    Then practice and compete!  Working on improving your skills and gaining experience will do far more to improve your times and scores than any micro improvement the firearm from a top-tier manufacturer will give you.  

    As for optic, go with a red dot.  Easily handles out to 100 yards and most stages you shoot will be that or less.  I'm a big fan of the Holosun gear, quality at a great price point.  If you decide you want a scope, go with 1-6 or 1-8, as you will want the no magnification (1) option for up close work.  I like Vortex here for the same reason as Holosun.

    CAN I HAVE AN AR-15 in NJ?
    Yes, but you have to have a NJ FID

    Is this true?  Where in the law can I find that?  The FID is required to purchase or acquire, not if you inherit one (or already have one and move in from out of state).

    In NJ, you cannot have "evil features" like an adjustable stock, threaded barrel, flash suppressor or barrel length less than 16" on your rifle.

    Not technically true.  You're allowed one evil feature.

    NJ FID stand for NJ Firearms Purchaser ID Card (also NJFPID).  It is required to purchase any firearms or ammo in NJ.

    IIRC, regarding ammunition unless something changed it is only needed to purchase handgun ammunition.

    To be technically correct, I don't believe it is required for handgun purchase either, you just need the P2P.

    According to the guy who installed it, the original return is too small for current codes and systems, the building is over 20 years old. And it is also what caused the early demise of the previous furnace, which was overheating on a regular basis.

    ... but you don't trust him ...

    The few guns I've read about are like $1,200 - $1,500. I'll have to look into suggestions here. I read the Glock story, but plastic body guns seem strange to me and the light weight having more recoil feels like a concern, but I know nothing.

    No need to spend that much at all.  A great home/self defense pistol can be had for around $500 or less from the most widely known and reputable manufacturers.  The recoil on any 9mm polymer hand gun is more than manageable for any adult.

    If my understanding is incorrect, please point me towards the legal ref or statements from the NJSP on the topic.

    I did that in my original post, specifically to avoid this debate.  I guess you didn't read it.  To be clear you won't find a reference or definition for a flash suppressor in the law 2C:39-1, so the NJAG provided guidance in the memo I linked to.

    https://lis.njleg.state.nj.us/nxt/gateway.dll?f=templates&fn=default.htm&vid=Publish:10.1048/Enu

    Search for "2C:39-1 Definitions".  (it won't let me directly link to it)

    For the NJSP reference (which mirrors the AG, see item 15).

    Go look at eBay, tons of brakes without manufacturers

    Right, they are "unbranded" and all marketed as muzzle brakes.

    I was looking around on the satellite map of downtown, searching for open lots that it will fit in. It's a busy area. I've read a lot of good reviews about that parking garage on Mary St., I just don't know how far away it is from all the hot spots?

    Mary Street is going to be almost a 2 mile walk to get to the Battery and my guess is that most of what you would want to see is down in that area.  I think the Harris Teeter lot on East Bay could be another option for you.

    With a visitor parking pass you could park here on Limehouse Street - plenty of space and no one will bother you.
