Just remember, not all of these people getting guns for the first time are leftist gun haters being converted. In fact I am sure that many, if not most are middle of the road folks that just never got a gun because they didn't feel the need to do so previously. They weren't necessarily against guns, just not really engaged on the discussions on either side. It's a good opportunity to show that there's not a gun community separate from them but that we are all just part of their local community, we aren't all some shady societal fringe (you all know who you are ) that needs to be looked at sideways but are their neighbors, co-workers and friends.

We are going to have a lot of new people asking questions. Hell I even have one anti gun dude that applied for his fpid. So guys, put the tinfoil away, be a good Nieghbor. And please don’t spew bs information. - this message has been approved by the the #zekefomod campaign-

If we could see it we could shoot it. Or beat it with a pipe.

Then it becomes incumbent upon us to educate them.

FYI.....day 14, my son today tells me his cough has stopped and he's feeling much better today....he still has 2 days worth of Doxicyclene to take but the "Z" Pak was finished yesterday...still home quarantined naturally and his wife is feeling better also....she has a very mild case. guess the combo of Doxi and "Z" has been good.

Welcome. Impressive turn around. Congrats. You state you're a first time gun owner. Please be safe; ask questions; there are some quality youtube channels and other resources that can offer immediate education prior to you taking a in-person class (if you choose). There's also some dangerous BS out there by people claiming to be experts. Many cases you can tell the difference, ask here if not. Also, please consider supporting the NJ based 2A orgs that made it possible for you to exercise your rights; face it, Murphy would send the NJSP in a door to door confiscation if he thought he could get away with it.

“ the only organization asking the true journalistic questions the rest of the media will never touch.” I have to give kudos to Alex and NJ2AS. He has the brass ones to ask the tough questions.

Nooooooo! I hope to return to Idaho someday, and don't want to find it filled with north easterners. The influx from California is bad enough.

OK, AVB

Can't wait till this is over and people start calling to see if we buy, or trade used guns? There will be a shit load of people wanting 900.00 for that S&W M&P-15 they paid $1100.00 for in their panic buys................

...to be brief..... my son is on day 14 home quarantine and has been taking Doxicyclne and "Z" Pak....last day of "Z" is tomorrow...Doxy twice a day for 10 days....says this AM, canker sores that developed from the virus near his gum line have started to heal, has less of a cough and says he's feeling much better....his wife has a much milder case with just a minor cough.

'Only My Opinion"...……...omo.

My take on the outcome of this buying spree: Essentially, people don't really change. Just the situation. Group 1. The existing owner who just bought more. They are going to be exactly like they were before. No change, no impact. Group 2. The person who wasn't anti-gun but never actually got around to be a gun owner. Don't expect a lot of 2a support, but they will probably take it personal when a law is passed and someone informs them that they haven't been paying attention and are now a criminal. At that point they will take it really personally IMO as they will view it as an attack on them. They might be useful being backlash at some point in the future. Group 3. Guns are evil, but right now a necessary evil. They will engage in cognitive dissonance after the fact just like they are right now to go buy a gun. They will squawk with rage if it ever comes back on them and makes them a felon because how can this happen to someone with all the right think? But they will vote for all the shit that will lead to that problem in the first place. Outside of those in financial distress because of this trying to get some cash to keep body and soul together, most won't get rid of them. They will be lazy and not pay attention and let it sit in the closet or wherever outside of something intruding into their lives to motivate them otherwise.

You know when restaurants are allowed to open again, I doubt that all their clientele is going to come running back. Will restaurants have to 'social distance' their tables, thereby cutting occupation and revenue? Will that mean staff also runs at less than before? Can they operate on that reduced revenue? They had to ditch the inventory they had when closed; where's the money come from to restock? And so on. I saw Jon Taffer on Fox a few days ago, and he didn't paint a rosy picture for the restaurant and bar industry. Not in the next 12 months anyway. I credit him with some of the above. Seemed very likely. Oh, here we go. His interview is here.

Yeah like no one is tapping your phones or recording emails. Right? Anyone that has any trust in what the government will do, needs to have their head examined.

I think this is closer to the truth. Pre coffee...bear with me. In a state like NJ, where it is required to jump through various hoops to get a FIOD card before one purchases even a long gun..I doubt that the vast majority of the recent purchases are by anti 2A people now buying AR-15s. IMHO, the vast majority of these purchasers, are solid 2A supporters who were already FOID card holders, who were, for whatever reason, late to the AR game. While we will get an uptick in gun owners, many, or most of them will not be ‘enthusiasts’. Most of them will not be pro 2A (as in ‘shall NOT be infringed’). They will not understand, nor care about, the importance of the 2A and why it exists in the first place. I know many liberal ‘gun owners’....these are gun owners in the respect that they have grandpops old over/under shotgun or daddy’s lever action deer rifle stuck in the back closet, hasn’t been used or touched in 40 years... They’ll tell you all day long how they ‘believe’ in your ‘right’ to own a firearm...after all, THEY do!! They just don’t think you should be able to own a semi-auto rifle, or a handgun...only the police, or the military need those... I DO think that we harbor a responsibility to foster them, teach them, and educate them on the 2A, and why it’s important. We are the mentors, we have to be the positive example.

GLOCKS SUCK! /thread

No problems........cabin fever has us all.

So good news everyone who is trying to get a handgun. Filed for permit and fidc on the 24ty of March. Went and got my finger prints the 25th and today I am cleared. Took about a week in a half and now just waiting for my police department to call me. First time owner to

This. I swear do people not realize what is locked in your trunk isn’t the cops business? If you get pulled over and your guns are securely locked in the trunk do you think they’re gonna know if you don’t tell them? seriously you have a right to remain silent, use it.

I disagree. I think you will see an uptick in revolvers and pump shotgun in 30 days or more. I think if they went through the trouble, thought they needed it, they will hold on to it.

I strongly disagree.. “ and just like that the 2nd becomes important again “

So I woke up My dog is laying on the back patio covered in dirt with a rabbit in his mouth. The rabbit's not bloody, just dirty. My neighbor's kids raise blue ribbon show rabbits. I instantly knew it was one of theirs. So I took the rabbit away from my dog, rushed inside, and washed all the dirt off it before my neighbors could come home. It was stiff but I heard some animals play dead when they are afraid but I couldn't remember which ones. I took it and placed it back in one of the cages in their back yard then I ZOOMED back home. Not 30 minutes later I hear my neighbors screaming so I go out and ask them what's wrong? They tell me their rabbit died three days ago and they buried it but now it's back in the cage.

Hello everyone, I figure most of us are “window shopping” between meetings, calls, dealing with kids or just to keep sane so I thought this might be a fun place to tell/show us what you’ve recently purchased. For me, I’ve taken advantage of end of season winter sales picking up a new ski/snowboard rack for the jeep and jackets. My best purchase though was this $11 purchase on Sunday. I had a bunch of points on my Cabelas card and since I’ve stopped using it, I decided to cash them in. So for $11 bucks including tax and shipping I got this and a couple 10/22 mags. Open to hearing about any tips or tricks to build it and what Battery to use. so, what has everyone else purchased to stay sane?

Here is what I would do but I am extremely stubborn. Like burn the house down to get rid of the termites stubborn. I would have my FFL ship it back to the gunsmith and drive back to Ohio to pick it up because there is no way I will ever give NJ another dime of my money regarding firearms. But that's just me.

I live in Sussex. It's the fact that I travel into a hot zone. ugh. Thehill.com report contradicts a lot of other evidence to the contrary. Fauci is a vaccine guy. It's his bread and butter. Therapies, specially cheap ones, don't pay the bills. He's compromised. Look at the rest of the world and how they are behaving.

Actually the Doxicyclene they prescribed for my son is used to treat Malaria and Pnuemonia as well.....check it out.

Wonderful. The wife of a close friend at work tested positive. Sheesh. She is a nurse, so her infection is understandable. I feel like an Iron Maiden song coming on. Run to the hills....of course I'm already there. It's that I'm working in the petri dish of Bergen county.

"Neither Florida nor New Jersey recognize dual residency " False

#4 TBD could be misused, if Emma Peel is in charge of the FAQ. She'll use that section to push her views on what that odd pork product should be called. She may even promote it to #1.

@Mrs. Peel (I'm singling you out here, because from my unscientific study, you are one of the more active mods).... There's several posts in several threads about first time gun owners. What do you think about a LOCKED thread, that: 1: Welcomes them. 2: Provides a FAQ, consisting of links to NJSP Gun section, and other first timer info, maybe training info as well. 3: Links to NJ Based 2A Orgs with brief a description and why they deserve support from all gun owners. 4-x: TBD. I proposed it being locked so it can't get political or off track. Also, would there be a way to direct all new accounts here to be directed there?

Thanks for the clarification to dajonga. Knowing only part of the law can be trouble!! Guilty as charged.

The executive order calls for "non-essential business" to close, ANJRPC is not a business, and neither is the range. They are also not open to the public, ever. Im surprised that no one has gutted his EO, yet...

Stay safe, brother!

yes, this. it's a private range, no? we're members of a private shooting club is what i understand. i could see abiding on a public range, but this is different

so let me understand your argument. it's ok to shut down fingerprinting because nobody needs fingerprinting now due to the economy? besides the relevant 2A implications, what if i wanted to adopt a child now? too bad? bad economy? volunteer at an orphanage? too bad, bad economy? use my suddenly free time to get a drone license? too bad, bad economy? come on man, there are reasons to get fingerprinted that have nothing to do with the economy. i'm actually shocked you guys are defending this. remember, it's not about NEEDS, it's about RIGHTS

i don't care what the economy looks like. there are a lot of essential things that require fingerprinting, including a number of volunteer positions which involve children Adoption (through the Department of Economic Security) Alarm Agent and Controlling Person Certification Appraisal Licensure or Certification Assisted-living-facility managers Board of Dental Examiners (Dentist Licensure, Dental Hygienist Licensure, Dental Therapist Licensure, and Denturist Certification) Board of Fingerprinting members and employees Charter school employment Child care home provider Child day care Child nutrition program Child Protective Services employment Child welfare and adolescent behavioral health treatment Contractors, subcontractors, or vendors (including employees) for public or charter schools Department of Economic Security employment (non-Child Protective Services) Developmental disabilities (work with individuals with developmental disabilities) DES - Employee or Contractor with access to Federal Tax Information Domestic-violence-shelter employment Exceptional student services program Foster home licensure (through the Department of Economic Security) Health-science students and clinical assistants Hemp License Home Inspector Certification Home-health-agency employment Homeless-shelter employment JOBS/WIA programs Nursing-care-institution administrators Pharmacist and Pharmacy Intern Licensure Physical Therapist and Physical Therapy Assistants Licensure Real-estate licensure Residential- or nursing-care-institution employment School Bus Drivers Teacher certification Volunteer foster grandparent program

I like "Words with Friends" (Scrabble)

These Mo Fo's will try everything they can against firearms. Inside every liberal is a totalitarian fascist just screaming to grab power and destroy rights.

There will a fair percentage of them that won't have the funds to reopen. Restaurant margins are very thin.

Just heard that Restaurant Depot who only catered to restaurant managers is now letting the public in to shop here in NJ.....also, COSTCO announces a 2 person entrance limit on card members at one time....guess leave grandma and the kids at home.

I was lucky. Tanners had a a used socom 16. Couldn’t of had more than 50 rds down it. You can tell by the wear on the bolt slide. I got it for i think 1k. The sights were soo off. Shooting like 10” high i think. I brought it back. They sent it back to Springfield. It had the wrong front sight post on it. They put the right one on it. No charge. That’s probably why the prior owner sold it. Yes. Its a solid machine. Thats how i wound up with it. I have 3 m1as. Love them all
