New gun owner, hopefully next week!!

Hello all, this post is probably not the most important thing you'll read today but hopefully you do anyway because I'm excited!

 

Starting about 8 months ago I began the FID process with SSH. After months of bothering them I never received it then came the storm. So for a couple months buying a firearm was on hold. Now where I reside in lakewood I put in my papers and background check almost 6 weeks ago. Btw they are very nice and pretty quick or so I've heard. So I'm expecting them back sometime next week. Today I went to shore and purchased a glock 17 and Remington 870. I cant have them till my FID comes through but they are there and waiting. I went there a while back to rent and they were all very helpful and professional. I could have went to Lawmand or Atlantic to get a discount (medic) but I feel since I'm going to be using shore as my range I'd like to give them my business. Again they were more then helpful today and I left happy. Anyway, I'm very excited that the process I started nearly a year ago seems to be coming to an end. I'm also a very new shooter and gun owner so if anyone wants to meet up and give any pointers, it would be appreciated.

Thank you

Congrats on your (soon to be) first purchases, and welcome comrade!

Congrats and welcome! I hope you have a quick turnaround with the paperwork. Consider taking an NRA safety course (first steps pistol/shotgun). Also join NRA and NJ2AS.

Congrats!

Lakewood is very good with FPID and P2P. They are probably swamped like every place else theses days, so it might take longer. Considering the gang infestation there, they are very firearm friendly. I would bet also that JPFO has a large number of members or sympathizers.

Welcome to the Forum. I'm not a big fan of Glocks, but they are fine first guns.

 

Consider purchasing the Advantage Arms conversion kit and you'll be able to convert you 9mm Glock into .22LR pistol and shoot for much less money.

I know this is a very silly question, but I am going to ask since it seems to be omitted from your original post. You mentioned that you started the process of getting your FID, but I did not see mentioned that you applied for P2P's as well.. (I only ask because you said you bought a Glock). I "assume" that you also applied for the P2P's when you submitted paperwork for the FID? If so, then nevermind.. lol

 

Congrats on your new purchases. I am also new to all this, even though we've had a revolver for the past 15 years (wife's).. The wife also just bought a Maverick 88 Security shotgun that will be delivered to SS (as our FFL) on Monday, so we should be able to pick that up within the next week and a half once they run the NICS check.. (oh, and I also put my FPID and P2P papers in recently, about a week and a half ago in Howell)..

Hey, thanks all. I am deffinetly joining NRA, not so much for the bumper sticker (lol) but to support. I also looked at safety class and will be attending shortly. I hope lakewood isn't too swamped, they weren't cheap and I really wanna shoot! But again thx all, I look forward to it.

@ dsd1026

Yeah. I put in for a p2p. Just one for now because I knew I wanted to buy a pistol and shotgun and stay with them for a bit although i am very excited about it and can see myself applying for another in the near future. Good luck, I'm not sure how howell is with FID processing but hopefully quick.
