New to forum from Lindenwold NJ

Recommended Posts

I am new to the forum and to handgun shooting. I have shot rife and shotguns off and on for years. Saw this forum and decided to join to help me stay in touch with NJ firearm issues and events.

Glad to know I'm not the only one from this sketchy town hanging out in the forum. lol.

 

I'm from a neighboring town, sounds like we're in the same situation... Hmmm, I wonder why we're all getting into guns???? Ha! :no:

I'm getting my FPIC because I'm inheriting guns, but I'm not gonna lie; we've been thinking about getting some "protection" recently because of the nature of the town. We aren't in a particularly bad area, but things tend to overflow from those apartments from time to time.

 

Sometimes I don't believe the things that we hear going on, and we live here!

 

Still looking for a good range for when I can shoot the guns I'm getting, I'd love to go shooting with some local folks when my paperwork comes back (in a few months).

I know what you mean. Some days I am afraid to cross over the tracks. From the Lindenwold PD website you can now see where crimes have been happening. Seems they are mostly from those apartments. My street is rather nice, but I really don't like the area around those apartments. Some really shady people living there.

In Stratford(and Laurel Springs) a few nights ago I heard a woman screaming for help, and a guy yelling at her. They must have known each other because he kept saying he was sorry, I thought about checking it out to see if the woman was okay, but then again, I didn't want to risk anything...

 

It is getting kind of bad around here, and everyone I talk to agrees it's the spill-off from the apartments around here.

    • We never let then inside.  Last re-evaluation was 6-7 years ago, wife politely told him that he was welcome to look around the property and he could look in the windows. He saw two white resin chairs in the basement and told her that this constituted a finished basement. And everything in the basement is bare concrete/ cinder block, and mechanical systems. Nothing finished about it. Ultimately he relented and I'm sure that was a ploy to coerce us to allow him in
    • I use an Alien Gear cloak tuck (IWB) with my Shield.  Neoprene back - in the summer it does feel warm but doesn't rub or chafe.   https://aliengearholsters.com/ruger-lcp-iwb-holster.html Could also go with the shapeshift as it has multiple options - OWB/IWB, Appendix... https://aliengearholsters.com/ruger-lcp-shapeshift-modular-holster-system.html
    • The  12-1 compression ratio L88 is long gone. This is GM's updated version. it might be  pump gas 10-1 engine The L88 was a aluminum head  cast iron block engine with a nasty solid lifter cam. the  ZL1 was a all aluminum  12 or 13-1 compression ratio engine with the best forged internal parts at the time and had a even nastier solid lifter cam 
    • I like my regular carry holster.  OWB leather with belt slots.  I've been carrying for over a year and it was comfortable and I hardly even noticed it.  I carry (usually) a Ruger LCP .380 - light, convenient, tiny. But...today I ended up taking it off an leaving it home after a few hours. I cut down a big maple tree a few days ago and I spent 3/4 of today loading and unloading firewood into the back of my truck and a trailer.  It was a warm day, I was dirty, tired, sweaty, and my holster was rubbing against my side.  The leather and exposed metal snap was no longer comfortable. I'm thinking about adding a layer of something to that part of the holster to soften the contact.  Anything insulating will make it worse.  I don't want a sweaty, hotter holster against my skin.  I'm imagining something thin, breathable, that won't absorb sweat, and softer than leather, metal snaps, and rivets.   But I have no idea what would work. I'm hoping somebody else has already figured this out and I can just do what they did. Any suggestions appreciated.
    • Check the primers on the ammo you didn't shoot yet. Are they fully seated? If the primer is not just below flush with the back of the case, the first hit can seat it better then the second hit ignites it.
