I read these as "we don't want your business" signs.

Hey MODS. Start a thread and pin it for those business that post these signs, ie. this AZ Forum

Honestly? I love a good afternoon of shopping. But I would not want to shop in a mall that was promoting/advertising the vulnerability of its shoppers. We have plenty of evidence by this point of mass shooters passing by hard targets and driving a little further down the road for a "soft target". So, why would I want to spend my time in a soft target? This is just dumb.

No the endorsements don’t need to be there. Shit makes no sense but that’s how it is. New Jersey allows people to purchase firearms but wants you to bury them after and never take them out. Lmao. People are stupid for allowing this to happen.

Indeed. Thanks for playing.

I've been a member of the Phillipsburg Pistol Club for the past 13 years. I am currently a member of the club's Board of Directors. I would just like to update the forum users to the current details of our club. The club has been in existence since 1961 and at the present location since 1964. We have 8 indoor 50' lanes & 12 outdoor 25-yard lanes with a covered firing line. The facility has seen extensive renovations over the past 3 years. See the photos on our website. We are an NRA affiliated club and require members to be NRA members. While basically a pistol club we do allow .22 rimfire rifle use as well as "pistol caliber" rifle and carbine use (9mm, 38spec., .357mag., .45acp, .45 Colt, etc.). Centerfire rifle cartridge use is not allowed (.223, 5.56, 308, 17hmr, etc.). Shotgun use is limited, trap or skeet are not possible due to the club's location. We are actively seeking new members. The club hosts a IDPA match on one Wednesday evening a month. We offer NRA training classes throughout the year. Initial membership associated cost are $220.00. Yearly dues are $80.00. Our daily range fee is $3.00 for the entire day. Guest fees are $10.00 per day (2 guests max.). Our hours are 8am to 10pm 365 days a year. The facility is electronically secured at all times. We maintain a safe, clean, friendly atmosphere at all times. Please go to our website for further information.

I feel much safer already.

I never want to read another sentence that starts with “Joe Biden coming..” ever again.

And if you did you probably shouldn't admit to it.

It was a busy day yesterday so I didn't have any time to post here but, yesterday on July 11st 10 AM, I became the second person in Watchung Boro to submit their CCW packet after the Supreme Court ruling. I made an appointment to come in before hand with the Sgt. in charged of firearm applicants before hand. The appointment was approximatly 15 minutes long, where we gone over each document to make sure it was all right. He went over my notorized letter of proof of ownership of the handguns I qualified with the serial numbers on the RTSP qualification certificate serial numbers. I also submitted a certificate of the RTSP intro to ccw 2 hour course of proof that I can safely handle firearms and know how they operate also. The Sgt. went over the process explaining that the CCW process on the police's end is the same as an FID card/ pistol permit and once the Chief of police approves it (I apply twice a year for 6 pistol permits since December 2019, no issues with getting approved) it will go to the Suprior Court in Somerset County. He said that since Watchung is a smaller town compared to Bridgewater, Franklin or Hillsborogh that he should be able to process the CCW applications at a faster rate compared to the rest of the county but there is still a learning curve at this and that there will still be alot of applicants applying. Also that the Superior Court and the Somerset County Prosecutors Office are still working on the details on processing the influex of applicants for the county. But he said he had enough information to get started on my application which is good! I was issued a case number by Watchung Police which is similar to what I see with their criminal complants, its not the case number that has been going around like on RTSP website with applicant's last name and date of applicantion. Its an unique number that is issued inhouse by your agency. I already made the appointment with Identigo before I submitted my application so I was able to call and redo the case number, kept the same time and location for my application this Saturday. Overall, with everything totalled up with the application to obtain a NJ CCW, not counting the price of ammuniton like critical defense, holsters nor firearms its quite a bit: $50 money order to the Treasury $185 for qualifications for two guns at RTSP $99 intro to CCW at RTSP $16 for the 1.5 X 1.5 inch photos at CVS $96 for Identigo fingerprinting in Staten Island Total is $446. My boss is a notary so he was able to notarize my documents for the CCW. I wanted to apply as soon as possible once the Supreme Court got rid of justifiable need. I know friends who want to apply but want to wait but I figure why wait now? I waited long enough and the state legislators are currently in summer recess now, once get back from their break they could be pulling a New York on us and make it harder for us. I posted this on reddit on r/NJguns but I finally submitted everything!

Maybe ping pong would be a better hobby.

Up for sale is my Ruger SP 101 in .38 special/.357 Magnum. Gun is virtually new only fired a few times by my wife and she doesnt like it. I believe I have the original box and manual. I'll take 500.00 no lower. First "I'll take it" gets it. Gun for Hire is my preferred FFL but will go to yours if within a reasonable distance. Buyer pays all taxes and fees.. This one is a cream puff safe queen. You can also PM me with an offer. I might say yes.

You can find a deal, if you keep up the hunt.... They are just such good looking pistols, and a bonus they shoot like a dream.

The price of the car at the end of the lease is determined by the residual cost from new not the value of a used version of the same car. They might give you a break on the buy out if it is a particularly huge difference but if used cars are at a premium like it was a year ago, you won’t be getting a deal. I will never lease a car that I may want to buy again. If you have a 3 year lease, it’ll probably cost $100 or less a month more to buy it over 60 months. If you buy it out after the lease ends, you usually won’t go for less than 48 months on it so it’ll take a year or more longer to get the car and that’s not even counting the extended warranty you’ll need because the factory warranty will be expired long before the car is paid for. If you are going to lease, just get something you will want to get rid of every few years. JMHO -Jim

1. those signs have been there for a while. they may have added more, but they were there when we were christmas shopping 2 years ago... 2. it's called "concealed" carry...

I know it has reactivated my 2A interest.

I guess they were taught to sniff for Hoppe's #9

Willowhood and some of these other malls already had it. It’s corporate policy. Spend your money at a small business instead.

Curious as to where this 50 shot qualification is shown on the state police web site? I guess all the firearm training facilities in NJ are going by what they use for, say security guards? But there are differences in RTSP ( holster draw and 15 yard max ) and GFH.( no holster and 25 yard max. ) They both cant be correct. All I can find is a 60 shot day and 40 shot night qualification. https://www.state.nj.us/lps/dcj/pdfs/dcj-firearms.pdf Seems a bit crazy everyone is rushing out to take training and qualification shooting without a clear statement from the state of NJ as to what exactly is required. Yes, training is good, proper training is better. Seems like allot of confusion as some say qualification every 6 months, like a PO, or possibly every 2 years with renewal? Training is 4hr NRA? 8hr NRA? Special class for NJ, kind of like Utah? Even GFH warns, nothing set in stone 'Disclaimer: The State Police seems to be adding and changing requirements daily. For the people who are willing to apply early and risk changes we cannot be held liable for any changes that occur after you qualify with us. You’ve been warned.'

That's great in states where if someone notices, you get told to leave and at worst a misdemeanortrasspassing charge. NJ is making it a major felony.

What's a mall?

AKA as target rich environments.

I'll give PPC a "thumbs up"! My uncle is a member there and guested me in many times over the years. Nice little club!

Yes they probably couldn’t remove it without totally effing up the form. That’s fine, they won’t be able to use it. Doesn’t that make it even sweeter?

15 police reports? Ain't no doctor gonna fix that.

Pretty sure its satire...

No. The notary only needs to verify YOUR signature. There is ONE notarization and it’s for YOUR signature, not your references. I am a notary and if it has to be done for each signature then the notary will have to notarize EACH signature separately. No you do not. The notary is only notarizing your signature, not your references.

thanks for posting link sir.

my third reference is a notary. so they're gonna notorize everything for me.

I don't get it...

I showed them the originals and they made a copy for their record. Always show them the original document, never bring in a photo copy

I think we are getting boned on the testing requirements. Here is what some friends on a different forum posted when I asked about qualifications. This is what they have to do in WI Qualification? We had a three hour class on rules. We never shot a gun nor where we asked to bring one. and for PA Hmm... We hand the Sheriff a filled out application (front side of a piece of paper) and our ID, he runs a background check, and 10 mins later we're out of there with a permit to carry concealed in hand. Repeat every 5 years. And Texas If you have a pulse and $50 in Texas you get a permit.

Biden's energy plans are like a circle jerk with no happy ending

Well, he was in a donut shop, so it all seemed plausible.

Hey

Goo Gone or Goof Off will work.

Just being part of Farcebook shows a lack of thinking....

This is some of the worst advice I have ever seen on this forum. Money and time spent on a high stakes life saving defensive skill with abilities that degrade quickly without regular sustainment training is never, ever a waste. It’s not enough to just meet the minimum. We should always strive to improve. Always be a student. Be good Stay safe Get training Be an asset, not a liability.

If I was an ammo dealer, I would be tempted to keep my records in a text file on a Commodore Pet with magnetic tape storage.

There are people ranting on these thread about qualifying with FBI/LEO courses, night training, drawing from holster, twice a year,etc, etc. That's FINE if they want to do it, but it's not necessary. GFH has the qualification course listed on their site. It's PAINFULLY easy to anyone who practices even a little. – No holster needed – All shooting from the ready position – 50 rounds per firearm – FBI Q target – 24 rounds at 7 yards – 14 rounds at 10 yards – 6 rounds at 15 yards – 6 rounds at 25 yards For a total of 50 rounds. Must hit at least 40 rounds out of 50 (80%)

You really think me pointing out where the gloom mongering is incorrect it giving people ideas? I am only refuting what has already been complained about. I qualified with Bob Bajor at Phillipsburg because that's my home range. He is listed on the RPO list on the NJSP web site: https://nj.gov/njsp/firearms/shooting-ranges.shtml
