Handguns and ammo costs!!!

[hotshot 4]

i don't think that would be legal...interstate laws and the such...

[Cylinder Head 22]

Now I'm hearing that NJ is not allowing internet shipments of ammo to NJ residents.

Is that even possible??

 

Can a state legally forbid the shipping of a product that's perfectly legal and available in the state in from any out of state vendor? I may be wrong, but I can't think of any example where that's currently being done.

 

That's erroneous information, it's perfectly legal to get internet shipments of ammo, according to the two 500 round cans of W. German .308 that arrived on my porch a few days ago.

[coldsolderjoint 84]

As of right now, its just certain vendors who claim this. It is their policy, not an actual law. With maybe the possible exception of Ammoman because he is in NJ.

[Wolfy 51]

Ammoman can't ship in NJ because being in NJ by law he has to see your FID card to sell any ammo for a handgun.

 

And the reason ranges do not allow aluminum or steel cased ammo is because they sell the brass to reloaders and don't want to sort the cases.

If they are shipping to NJ, they have to make sure they see your FID, hence why some places wouldnt ship until you faxed in your FID. since this was starting to get cracked down on, some just dont want to deal with this, and just dont ship to NJ period.

I've only ever had to scan a copy of my DL to two places. Everyone else relies on the "adult signature" option from UPS. Although that always doesn't work.

[Caine 147]

I've never been asked for anything but my credit card number when ordering ammo online. I've seen some places that require you to fax in a copy of your ID (drivers license, not FID), but that's about it.

+1 , the ammo I ordered from sportsmansguide.com arrived in a week, with nothing required except a ups signature.

I usually blow through 4 - 6 boxes of .45 when I goto the range... but I do waste mags pretty fast, load up 3 at a time and get yelled at for rapid fire, lmfao.

[Wolfy 51]

Which range gives you a hard time for rapid fire?

[coldsolderjoint 84]

I've gotten yelled at for rapid fire at the Bullet Hole.

[Caine 147]

Yeah - BH has a 1 shot per second rule if I'm not mistaken.

You can do double-taps. I run Zimbabwe drills all the time like it's my job. Two neat little holes in the chest, one in the forehead.

Mak is correct. Some sites like midway are not shipping handgun ammo to NJ. They claim it is against the law but in reality it is laziness on their part because they do not want to verify that you are over the legal age to buy ammo. Is it 21 for handgun ammo or 18?

 

Also please look into the Cabela's thread. cabela's is not shipping primers to NJ and they are using the same BS excuse.

I think you mean Mozambique Drill but either way - good to know. A co-worker of mine says he was yelled at for firing too fast and that they told him no more than 1 shot per second. Granted, he also apparently shot the target holder and broke it, so maybe they just don't like him

also, it does depend on the environment. If you know how to control the handgun during a rapid fire.... do you think others know that?

 

Its a fun experiement at the range.... start shooting faster, ando thers will follow. If you rapid fire, quite a few others will be encouraged to do so as well, as we know half the new people cant put a round on paper at 7 yards with slow fire... what makes anyone think they will do so in a rapid fire string? :?

Agreed - I'm still too new to shooting to even worry about speed right now. It's rare for me to do more than 1 shot per 2-3 seconds.. unless I'm goofing around with a .22 or something.

I'm still trying to figure out how the guy in the lane next to me shoot out one of the florescent tubes last time I was at BH

[tinyboy 1]

I hate rapid firing

 

Only idiots do that

no no... you just shoot fast. =) I have seen some go worse... but you shoot dang well with the rifles though... and were pretty good with the xd. =)

[Caine 147]

Was that an inside joke? Or do you really think only idiots rapid fire? *scratches head*

[XDJohnTact 49]

Last night at BA, whenever there was a burst of rapid fire, everyone would say "There goes Tiny"..I thought it was pretty funny that they didn't even bother to look up, they just knew. Tiny had some cool stuff there last night, that new Benelli Shotgun was awesome!

[Caine 147]

ok, that makes sense now

[tinyboy 1]

yes, it was a big time sarcastic comment

 

I cant get through two sentences, never mind 2 posts without saying something sarcastic

[tbtrout 141]

And the Benneli was cool.

 

Just remember, controlled rapid fire

I must be lucky to be in the better half then!

[Ray Ray 3,566]

Bump

 

The Bayonne Range doesn't allow rapid firing but I usually know the range officer and he let's me do what I want since I spend a lot of time (and money) there.
