The final approval has come in!

No, it's not what you were thinking probably. I'm still waiting on my damn 3 P2P's in Hamilton.

 

BUT, I did get word yesterday that my final approval came in for me to transfer to our Charlotte, NC satellite office and I can begin seriously moving forward with me and my family's move to Fort Mill, SC this summer!!! WOOHOOO!! This last approval was really semantics but I feel a relief that I know for sure (our plan was to actually move there whether or not I got approval, I just wouldn't be with this company.

 

I am wondering if I will even get my permits by the time I move or before. It really sucks, but I have a really positive thing to look forward to. This move to the Carolina's has been a goal for my wife and I for the last 4 years but the real estate debacle and the financial crisis really put things on hold, so we are super excited to begin our next chapter in our lives in a FREE STATE!

 

Now I need to look into interstate moving companies. Anyone have recommendations? Only company I am familiar with is Uhaul. I've only moved out-of-state once when I was in college when I moved to AZ but I only needed a 14' Uhaul truck with a dolly to tow my car. Now I am thinking I am going to need at least 24' truck. Company is not helping with relocation expenses so I am footing this bill but that's ok because it's a tax write-off. We currently live in a 2 bedroom condo but have belongings stored at my mother's house in her basement and at my dad's house in his garage. This should be an interesting move. Pack up our place, drive to dad's and pack up there, drive to mom's and pack up there. No fun. Plus I will probably have to leave my truck here and come back for it and our boat and drive that down separately unless one of the family members wants to drive it down for us.

 

The countdown begins! Hoping to be down there by late July is all goes as planned. I can't get the smile off my face!!

Congrats! The only advice I can offer for a moving company is to read the fine print and if you can either get a firm bid or a not to exceed price. I have seen quite a few movers provide an "estimate" and then once they have all of your stuff the price increases substantially over the estimate and they won't release your stuff without cash payment.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think NC actually requires pistol purchase permits, that are issued by the county sheriff! And I think you need to be a NC resident for 6 months before applying for the pistol purchase permits and CCW permits.

 

Long guns -- and ammo -- are not a NJ-style problem, though.

 

(We may be joining you down there, at least part time to start with. My wife is retired and I telecommute.)

Once you get your CCW, you no longer need the purchase permits.

Congratulations !

 

Jealous !

 

Call AE worldwide services as for Todd Graham... (201) 529-1515 (my buddy) tell him you know me and you need quotes to move your family to America... :)

 

Thanks Nick, will do. I'll look into this.

 

ABF U-Pack Moving maybe another solution. Sets cube on site. You load, they haul.

I actually used ABF for my move back from AZ, it was real simple. Might have to look into this again, just not sure if it will work now because we have a ton of stuff.

We do not. All of our family is here in NJ and my sister is in Bethlehem, PA. It took a while and a bit of coercion but she and I are on the same page: We need to do what's best for US, regardless if that means moving away from family. We are young (33,31) and have a 19 month old and are planning for another. We recognize that it's just not affordable and extremely hard to raise a family in NJ these days. She's excited for a change and a new chapter. But it did take a bit of time. I think the thing that sealed it for her was taking a trip down to Charlotte 4 years ago for the first time. She loved the people, the pace and way of life and it helped there's a few lakes nearby. We're very outdoorsy people so we hike, camp, wakeboard and SC/NC has all of that and more!

 

Don't forget about PODS and PackRat. PODS may be a good choice so they can haul your stuff and you can take your boat.

I'm used to seeing the small PODS and PackRat containers, do they have larger ones because we'd need like 5 of those things!

 

Thanks everyone for the congrats! We'll miss our family and great friends we have here but they can always come for a visit!!

Wow, great move!!!

Congratulations!!!

 

My biggest regret was not taking a paid company transfer to the DFW Metroplex... but in the end I think making sure my wife could lock in her pension was more important. And it was a good thing too because the company laid off people and took a bailout shortly thereafter.

      Radios...?

      By Buck Russell · Posted

      If you’re going to VA, buy 2 radios.  Program one for here and one for there.  If you guys are buying Baofeng radios do yourself a favor and get a tactical antenna for it,it’ll extend your reach.

      Non-Hollowpoint? (Long)

      By GRIZ · Posted

      Both our memories are a bit lacking. 3 bystanders were hit by NYPD bullets and 6 were hit by fragments at the Empire State Building shooting. The bullets later were determined to have passed through the bad guy as I said. He was not a big guy. The police fired 16 rds and 7 hit the bad guy.  Spray and pray?  I think not.  These officers fired until the threat was stopped and everyone is moving. Have you ever tried to hit a moving target whilst you're moving.  If you watch the video from where the police encounter him, the BG draws his gun from his bag, NYPD guys shoot, and the BG hit the ground is about 2 or 3 seconds.  The closest officer is maybe 12 feet or less.  The closest cover are those concrete flower pots.  If the officers chose to take cover before drawing the BG would have had a chance to shoot at least one officer. Know your target and beyond?  Agree 100%.  However, this by the Empire State Building at 9 am during the week.  There are bystanders and traffic in every direction.  The officers had a choice of doing what they did or letting the BG shoot them with his 1911 and shoot someone else. I think they made the right choice and the same one I would have made.  The officers exercised the best option in protecting themselves and the public. The first video is the police shooting.  The second is more detailed and gives you a lot of background information on the shooter. One thing this shows is if NYPD had to use fmj undoubtedly more bystanders would have been wounded perhaps killed.  NJ's hollowpoint law. only creates more danger to the public.
