New member From Jersey City

Hello, I am a new gun owner from Jersey City after having to wait forever to get my NJ FID. Though the wait was mostly due to paperwork that the city required that my job and one of my references was holding up on sending back to them. Though the staff at the licencing department were good with communicating questions that I had and keeping me up to date with progress on my application.

 

I am currently looking to start a career in armed security after having 6 years of unarmed security services and was looking on where I should begin to go about it. I have been looking at some companies but most require those with law enforcement experience.

 

In reguards to training. I was wondering if I should go along with Taking an armed security course of if was a security company that would provide such training on the job. And if I was to take a Training course I am split between getting from gun for hire or from NJ Firearms academy. Though I was leaning more for the Firearms academy because of its proximity and my reliance of public transit from not owning a car.

 

I'm glad to join the forum.

Welcome to the forums. I have no experience with fun for hire but I frequent Caso's and see the individuals who attend the NJ Firearms academy. I will just leave it as I am very surprised they are able to get a FID. I have a hard time distinguishing the locals from the students. But if it's close to you then it works for what you need.

Jersey City in the house.

 

I took my basic pistol with NJ Firearms back in '05 and was very happy. The folks in Firearms Dept of JCPD became extremely helpful with me, and still am, since I am one of Latief's people. And I say that because NJ Firearms, as well as Caso's to an extent, are very close with JCPD. That might come in handy while getting a CCW for armed security, but then again, if armed security is gonna be your bread and butter, go with the best training possible.

Those riff-raff hanging out front of New Jersey Firearms Academy and Caso's Guns are the SORA students taking their breaks from class, and therefore are eligible for their FID cards.

 

BlueLineFish It is unfortunate that you pass judgement on these people, NJFA and Caso's if they are not up to your standards.

 

We do several SORA classes per month and get people from all walks, classes and races.

      Hello, everybody!
       
      I'm a new member here on the NJ Gun Forums. My interest in firearms had sparked within recent months, and I have used these forums as a resource for learning the in's and out's of guns and guns laws in NJ. I'm a newly converted Constitutionalist/Libertarian, which explains why I'm interested in being a well-armed citizen.
       
      I'm in the process of filling out my application, and plan on contacting my local PD within the next day or two to figure how they want me to come in and work things out. Anyone have any suggestions for a first firearm? I'm thinking of a Ruger 10/22, as it seems to be quite reliable with lots of aftermarket parts, as well as chambering the ever-so-abundant .22LR.

    • 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.
