Talking to my buddy in PA was discussing selling him a rifle. Ask what the process was over there. He laughed said you give me rifle I give you cash wtf are you talking about process.

Bravo to @marlintag for selling ammo at very fair prices in a VERY unfair time! Many of you here who are going crazy to buy ammo should really consider getting into reloading! Not a great time for some of the components, but still cheaper and just as good or better than factory ammo!

First off, just wanted to say thanks for all the info. Found the forum just researching for my first handgun purchase and most questions I have found already answered somewhere within the forum which has been invaluable! so, a little background, after 4 months I finally have my FID and permit to purchase. I have very limited firearms experience ( only a handful of trips to the range in the past few years) After waiting 4 months I’ve come to realize I shit the bed a little bit by only getting one permit to purchase if I’m going to have to wait until the end of summer possibly to get a second. So, in light of that, I started looking into handguns that have .22 conversions as i already have a few thousand rds in .22lr. Some of the ones I have been looking into are Glock, CZ, And Beretta. just curious if anyone has suggestions or expierence with any of the conversion kits whether it be positive or negative. And also any suggestions. TIA

I have the following ammo available for sale and am looking to sell ammo as a complete lot.

Thanks for the info. I want to try and get myself and Cindy in on the same day while we're down there so I'm going to try and make my appointments early if they'll let me.

Your question presumes that the police would be called after the incident and that a body would be found on your floor.

Nope - I made sure to have the Taxes taken out when I was on Unemployment. No surprises here.

I do not believe the land swap has anything to do with the backlog. New members must attend an orientation meeting. This must be in-person because among other things, it includes a live fire exercise to show prospects can safely handle their firearm. In the "before time" these meetings were once a month and would have 30 or more prospective members. Now they are limited to ten max, they are running more than once a month now, but still limited to availability. During the general membership meeting earlier this week it was stated that on average they are refusing one person a month because they can not demonstrate basic firearm safety. That goes to show how many new owners are attempting to join, in addition to people like Ron who've been around firearms for years and have thought about it, but are now looking to join.

Sale's on right now - $300 for the Conversion kit: https://www.berettausa.com/en-us/beretta-conversion-kit-92-series-10-round-mag-/ Use code MARCH100 to save $100 off $300 or MARCH150 to save $150 off $400 (if you want anything else from beretta's site - extra mags, etc).

Yes on the 10mm bras, I do have a 10 and do reload it.

this. if more people would move away from plastic(other than for extreme emergencies) and pay cash for everything, you'd all be surprised at how much more money you'd actually have in your pocket. it would also cause the banks to scramble to keep people using cc's, by eliminating many of the ridiculous charges they levy on us.

when a cc company raises their cost to us, then we need to either raise our cost, or charge extra. the y hit us with fees for just about everything. it is actually fairly expensive to accept a cc. especially when you're using any form of any card with "free" rewards. you don't really think that they're being nice and giving you free stuff, do you? no. they charge us more.

More expensive, and more messed up.

It is sad and frustrating that the state of New Jersey has been successful in making gun purchases more expensive.

All I can say is that it was a pleasure selling a firearm to axeman_g recently and I’m glad the transfer was able to be done at Monmouth Arms. I’ll find my way out of this thread now...

As you probably know, there are transaction fees associated with CCs. That cuts into the retailer's bottom line and makes profitability difficult when working off thin margins in viciously competitive markets. I happen to dislike when stores have a CC surcharge. I much prefer the cash discount model. As a practical matter, it is the same, but instead of penalizing someone for using a CC, you are rewarding them for paying in cash. It's all about the optics.

I have the same kit for my M9A3. Works great and is surprisingly NOT picky with .22LR ammo.

It is a shame how expensive transfer fees can get. In any other free state, buyer and seller just exchange cash and be done with it the transaction. But of course, NJ just wants to screw you.

Forgive me for not jumping in on this earlier, I’m out of town at the moment. I am the seller, and I had recommended J&J Gunworks. He is local to me, and I have bought 2 firearms through him before. His transfer fee then was $45, and I didn’t think it was too unreasonable. Last one I bought was a shotgun in Nov 2019. Frankly, I was pretty taken aback when I heard what J&J was charging for the transfer this time. Had I known he had doubled his transfer fee, I wouldn’t have recommended him. That’s ridiculous. I’d have to go back and check my purchase records, I don’t know if he charged me a 3% fee for a credit card. The ammo thing, well honestly, I kind of get it. He doesn’t have much, and he wants to be able to sell it to people purchasing firearms from him. To me, that’s a reasonable point. @axeman_g, I’ll reach out to you when I get back in town. This never sat right with me.

When buying hard armor there are three important characteristics: 1) Affordable 2) Effective 3) Light weight You can pick 2. Do a “threat assessment” for your area and determine what you feel the most common round you may face. If you can’t decide, the rule of thumb is to make sure your armor can stop the rounds you carry.

I have this printed out and ready for reference in my home--just in case: Massad Ayoob’s Five-Point Checklist 1. Tell responding officers “I’m the victim; he is the perpetrator.” 2. Tell responding officers, “I will sign a complaint.” 3. Point out pertinent evidence. 4. Point out any witnesses who saw what happened. 5. If there is any hint that you are a suspect, say “Officer, you will have my full cooperation after I have counsel here.” Taken from: https://armedcitizensnetwork.org/3-most-common-post-shooting-errors I also recommend Ayoob's excellent book, 'Deadly Force - Understanding Your Right to Self Defense' For understanding the law and also, just the fact that you know things like like the '21 foot rule,' and the studies by Tueller, will help in your defense. And being first to dial 911, and stating that you are the victim, etc. helps establish who is the victim and who is the perp.
