Hey, glad I found this forum. I've been interested in guns my whole life but my family was never into the sport. As a kid in Pennsylvania, I owned a few BB guns and some pellet guns. One pretty nice one I had was a .22 caliber S&W single shot CO2 target pistol. That was a long time ago. Now I'm in New Jersey and I decided it was time to fulfill a lifelong desire - a bucket list item, if you will. Got the Firearms ID and submitted an order for a Troy A4 "Other Firearms" 9mm. It will take a while to come in, but I'm excited. I hope to gain a lot of information from the experience of the people on this forum, as I'm new to this. First thing I want to do when I get the firearm is to take a safety class and any other beginner classes that might be appropriate. I'm from Somerset County, right on the border of Hunterdon. I'll also be looking for a range to shoot at. Glad to be here and looking forward to my new hobby!

First thing to check is the sear reset. After you field strip the gun the sear will be in the lower position and the trigger to the rear. On the top right of the trigger assembly, between the sear and the frame rail is a small tab that bends slightly outward. This is the connector. Push that gently to the left, towards the sear. The sear and transfer bar should move upwards under spring pressure. Next, using the protrusion on the trigger bar that would engage the striker safety block push the trigger bar towards the front of the gun. After roughly 3/16 inch of movement the connector will spring back to the right but the trigger is still not fully reset. You will hear a click as the connector springs back into place. Keep pushing the trigger bar forwards to fully reset the trigger. There will be a second slightly quieter click when the trigger is fully reset. Try these steps and report back what you find. PS. Just to eliminate the obvious - are you racking the slide after pressing the trigger? Glock triggers only reset with the slide cycling, they do not spring back on their own.

....1951ish..... I think She's broken though.... Safety on, hammer down? What the...? Some would say a fix in search of a problem....so far it is interesting and has provided a positive safety and a clean break.. Range experience coming...

I don't understand why he won't put up a No Parking sign. You don't need to have a home business to have a No Parking sign. Tell him to put up the sign so people will know that they can't park there and that they'll be towed away if they do. Based on what you've said Jeep guy may have no idea that anyone cares he's parking in the spot. Randomly putting a boot on someones vehicle is a mistake IMO. A tow company isn't going to take a car away if there's no sign and an argument about why the tow is taking place. Not sure the police will do anything other than save your friend from an angry guy in a Jeep. Putting up a sign solves all of the problems: - Clearly notifies everyone that it's a private parking spot and that violators will be towed at their expense - Allows the tow companies to actually come and get the car - Provides backup if the police need to get involved.

I've been behind the trigger for over 48 years. I studied the EXCEPTIONS & EXEMPTIONS and stopped worrying about looking for permission to breathe air. The laws themselves are somewhat confusing, and don't include the NJF&W game laws that allow hunters that aren't old enough to buy firearms to USE & TRANSPORT firearms to the hunting site. On their bicycles. Study the exceptions & exemptions. Then look at the game laws Read carefully, as punctuation has MEANING: "COMMA, OR LOCKED IN THE TRUNK OF AN AUTOMOBILE" is the first of many that HS grads that barely passed English class always get wrong Taking your wife's hand gun to the range w/o her is an illegal transfer & a felony (indictable offense) UNLESS she has assumed room temperature. Cause then her property is YOURS & it's now YOUR hand gun And ya don't have to prop-up her dead body in the front seat of your vehicle to be "legal". In Jersey, there's the letter of the law, there's what will get you in trouble (waving a scattergun out yer car window), there's what candy-asses do (use FOPA for INTRASTATE transportation) to "feel-good", and there's what those "in-the-know" do. Continued success in your exploration to determine how much of a candy-ass (OR NOT!) you wanna be ~R

The gymnastics comment was regarding your other posts. If you're using an internet forum to determine whether or not you're committing a felony you're setting yourself up for failure. Got to NJ State published information instead: https://www.state.nj.us/oag/dcj/agguide/transporting-firearms_guide.pdf "While not an exclusive list, some examples of stops or detours in the course of travel to or between locations that would qualify as reasonably necessary include: collecting and discharging passengers; purchasing fuel, food and beverages, medication, or other needed supplies; using a restroom; contending with an emergency situation; or driving around a traffic jam."

WTS : Was collecting parts for an AR-10 build. Finally just bought a complete upper. 1) ar-10 .308 barrel. It is still in sleeve. I am 99% sure it is brand new, Ive never used it. Bore is perfect. Cant find receipt , Ill take $225 , much less than what I paid. Pretty sure I paid $350. 2) AR-10 BCG NEW. Ill take $120, again about $50 less than what I paid. 3) AR-10 Tomohawk Charging handle NEW, Made by POF - USA. Just paid $89.95 plus s&h and tax. Ill take $75.00 TOTAL $420.00 $400.00 for all. Not breaking it up. Will trade for 5.56 or 9mm. All or partial, at a fair price, not what these clowns out there are charging now. I am in Ocean County near exit 74. Buyer will need to come close to me. The first "I'll take it" gets it. Please send PM or txt at 732-486-9600 Thanks, Jeff

Leah Pruett walked away from this insane crash. This is just amazing. jmho

I got an email from them a few days ago saying they’re sending me a free gift. Hmmm. Ok. got it today. Ammo can embossed with target sports on the side. Ok. Cool. But. Then i opened it. Ts patch. Federal sticker. Ts sticker. Blackhawk dual mag pouch 10 rds of hornady 165 gr gmx. With a letter of thank you for ordering from them over the years. Now there’s a company that’s showing customer appreciation. Although they pretty much have nothing in stock. That company will retain my business when this shitshow subsides. thank you Target sports USA

A crazy idea, I know, but has he tried leaving a note under the windscreen wiper? No need to be rude - the guy might just not realize that he's pissing off the land owner.

Gabe is good, he is early teens. I will keep it until he becomes of age. I taught him safety with a bb gun, took him to the range a few times so he can see firearms safety in action. He's never fired a firearm, but I'd like him to learn on a 5.56 or .223 platform. Thanks Rutgers.

We are not supposed to have discussions in the FOR SAEL FORUM - however quick note. The C7/C8 is a Canadian rifle manufactured by Colt Canada (formerly Diemaco prior to 2005) The feature set of the C7 is a Colt A1 upper - not slick sided - has the brass deflector - most use the grenade launch profile barrel, as opposed to the pencil 1/12 barrels of the original A1's - as well as some other minor changes.

always were civilians, not sure why people don't understand this. They are civilians, take a civil test, follow civil direction, are not federal gov't employees belonging to any military branch. Civilians! but yes I agree, no degree of difference in my view good to know, as a lifetime member who refuses to send in another cent, I feel like they don't care as I've not seen anything like this so again, good to know

take note, this is how you gripe up the chain of command....lol

There is no such charge/law.

Yea, it is a bulky set up — you can certainly get a belt designed around Concealed carry there are some very high quality belts out there — unfortunately we in NJ have very little need for them I wear a wilderness systems belt daily, on my 2nd one — I don’t think I’m going to buy a 3rd I think my next belt will have the track/ ratcheting buckle set up — should stay put better — no more velcro thats for sure

If you have the means to reload, sell the factory stuff.....to me for a heavy post COVID discount

That was my initial finding from one post i found online. .Upon more research, from much more reliable forums and posters, these are incediary rounds... Not illegal to posess, but illegal to fire off... lol Ding. Ding. Ding. Thats what my quick research revealed too... If only i had the appropriate gun for the ammo! and of course, lived in another state since its illegal to shoot them here in PRNJ...

I wanted something for home defense and range shooting. I talked to an old friend who has been a long-time shooting/gun enthusiast and an ex-LAPD officer. He suggested a 9mm carbine of some sort. With the current state of affairs and New Jersey restrictions, it was very difficult to find a 9mm that suited what I wanted. I came across the Troy A4 and liked the idea of it being an "other firearm". It seems to cover all the bases of what I'm looking for and my friend tells me that Troy is a well regarded manufacturer. He suggested I go for it. I had been considering one of the Ruger PCC's but the size of the A4 is very appealing to me. Hope I'm happy with my purchase!!!

Again?!?!... geez. Where you finding these deals? And have you loaded any rounds yet??

At no point did I read anything remotely close to your examination of his attempting to circumvent anything. We have had a couple people pass through here asking the same question who ultimately recieved their permits. And exactly what "history' or experience do you have in any medial field, let alone mental health? A licensed professional has to evaluate him, there is nothing we can do or say here that changes that. Unless I missed something he was simply asking who to contact that would be willing to help.

There are a couple of ways of doing it... If you both go to the FFL at the start and the FFL is willing to hold the gun you can do as you described. The down side is that if it is a handgun and the buyer's BG check fails, you need a pistol permit to get your gun back from the FFL as he will have had to enter it in his bound book. The seller could take the gun home again and meet at the FFL after the BG check is approved. What I have done recently is I went to the FFL alone and filled in the paperwork. After it came back approved (after a few days at current turnaround times) the seller met me at the FFL to finish the transfer paperwork and the FFL entered it in his book at that time and then immediately transferred it to me. This way the seller does not have to go twice and does not risk losing possession if the sale does not go through. This works because the BG check can be done without all the details of the gun (make, model serial #, etc.), just whether handgun or shotgun/rifle and the quantity.

I completely concur with Johnny’s advice. One more thing, be mindful that moving within NJ would trigger the need for a change of address on your FID card. So avoid moving, so you don’t have to deal with the (re)application process. Better yet, move out of state.

False. I know the answer to all of this, but for those that may ask....I own a pickup. There is no trunk. If there is no trunk, it must be out of the drivers reach, but that is for handguns. Long guns do not have these restrictions.

....."Gov. Phil Murphy talked about the troubling trend at his briefing Wednesday afternoon. “We’re not immune to what we’re seeing around the country in terms of this lethal cocktail of being pent up, hot weather, trying to undo the state of racism, folks trying to come to grips with community and police relations. There’s a lot of non-COVID violence everywhere, seems like everywhere in the country,” the governor said." Notice that Murphy didn't make any reference to him shutting down businesses and schools, locking people in their homes, killing many people's economic future and FORCING over a million people out of work! Yeah, blame it on hot weather (that we have EVERY year)..

whatever. they’re retired so they’re civilians now. They should be treated exactly the way we are all being treated.

Just finished my 1st build. Anderson lower OTD for $85.00 almost everything else from Davidson Defense www.davidsondefense.com Assembled upper 5.56 (no foward assist) Stock, buffer tube kit, BCG and Charging handle Anderson Lower Parts kit from AIM Surplus $49.00 Just have to pin stock and break and I'm done.

Will he be considered a Covid death?

So, I want to thank everyone on here that has followed along. I appreciate all the help and support. I am going to abandon my trying to obtain my FFL for now. A combination of circumstances has led me to believe that this is the correct course of action. I’m not giving up. I am going to get out of the space I’m in, re-group, and find a different and more suitable space.

Toms River Police Department It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of newly retired K-9 Officer Gunnar. K-9 Gunnar #9020 unexpectedly but, peacefully passed away at home today. K-9 Gunnar was given an honorable send-off by ambulance from his residence to the veterinarian. During his final patrol, he was surrounded by family and escorted by members of our K-9 unit. Upon arrival at the veterinarian, K-9 Gunnar was embraced by numerous K-9 handlers and their partners from surrounding jurisdictions to show their support for K-9 Gunnar, his handler Officer Buhowski and his family, as well as our department. K-9 Gunnar started his career on January 28th, 2013 in the Toms River Canine Academy, class number 7 where he became a certified patrol canine. On September 9th, 2013 he attended the Toms River Canine Academy where he became a certified narcotics canine. While in training, K-9 Gunnar was one of the top dogs of the class and easily excelled at any task he was asked to do. K-9 Gunnar will be remembered for his numerous narcotics finds and his assistance in keeping officers safe while on the road. K-9 Gunnar retired in January of 2020. K-9 Handlers form inseparable bonds with their partners and this unexpected passing is difficult for Officer Buhowski and his family. Our hearts are with all of them.
