We really ought to think about this whole Abortion thing.... do we really need people like this around? (if this is true).

Absolutely.

Or... Christie will run for President in 2016 as a Democrat.... Speaking with a few people in the legislature and others in the gun community.... likelyhood, at least some of this stuff will pass. Simple fact boys and girls... we are in the minority in the state. 60% of the both state houses are Democrat controlled. The ONLY way to stop these bills is to keep pounding at them to not bring it up... but if it comes to a vote... it will pass 100%. The chance of Veto by Christie? I am not certain at all. Even if he does veto.... the democrats can still shove this through with a 2/3 majority... of which... they are only 2 republicans away from in the Senate, and 4 or 5 in the Assembly.

John... Brick Armory we parted ways after they had numerous issues with providing what they were supposed to, to their customers and our forum members. They are nice guys at heart, but I feel just lack the business sense on how to run a business. They had multiple opportunities to run SS out of town, but did not. After the third issue I had with them getting paid for a gun I sold there.... it was clear. ShoreShot and RTSP.... These guys just disappeared without even so much as sending me a pm or an email stating their intention.... in turn, they ended up getting at least 3 to 4 months of free publicity on here. They never bothered to tell me why they chose not to contribute and be here. From others I have heard that it was the fact that they were still given criticism here over their practices, and they chose not to hear it. While I do think that vendors should get the benefit of the doubt, especially those with a past track record, I don't think you can buy your way to being teflon ffl... where no one has the right to complain. The vendor fee for the forum is very minimal in the grand scheme of things... $50 or under / month for FFL/Range. So... I know it is not the money issue, they would be stupid if they thought it was too much. I can almost guarantee that they made at least ten times their investment on a monthly basis. Ie... How many RTSP members did they sell because of the exposure on here? Hell, if one person finds the range on here and goes to rent a gun there..... their $150 bill will 3x cover the cost. Same thing for the exposure.... over a million page views per month... (actually quite a bit higher than that), that is the cheapest, targeted promotion they will get. Beyond that.... even though they were on the forum, exception SS that did provide discounts and contribute here..., they never really cared about the community... as well. we are not really their target market.... For the past few years, the best customers revenue wise are the ones who want to rent a gun one time, and are ok paying over $100 for 30 mins, which includes a walk on fee, a gun rental fee, and a box of 9mm for $25. I also do want to point out, there are PLENTY of Brick and Mortar FFL's who are having great success..... in part because they actually contribute and care about the community. Chris @ Bullseye Tactical has a top notch store in Woodbridge, East Brunswick Sportsman on Rt 18 in East Brunswick, Hackettstown Guns and Ammo, Mastadon Ammo & Camo. Now we have Paul who expanded not too long ago to have an AWESOME store next door. =P Then... you have trainers like Anthony @ GFH, Chris @ MDTS, Cameron @ GAPP who go out of their way to support the community and teach better classes than what you will typically find in the stores. Most of all... the vendors who chose to be here.... are 100% open to feedback. So I would gather to say its about priorities. I will say.... Phil and the guys at Brick Armory DID care about the shooting community, unfortunately they could not run a competitive business. Anyone who knows me, knows how I feel... I want to get the most amount of people shooting. There are not many people who tried shooting firearms who do not support the 2A..... and the best way to keep shooters involved is to keep the costs to entry as low as possible..... $350 for an indoor range membership, or $100+ to rent a gun and a box of ammo.... is not doing that. Fortunately or Unfortunately, I still don't know... if you open up an FFL in NJ.... you have to be a moron not to be profitable.... because the barriers to entry are SOOOOO high.... and SOOOOO few public ranges.... that is why the public ranges can get away with the murder they are charging. To go on record.... I do not think that $20 walk on for an hour, $15 to rent a gun, and $25 a box of 9mm is reasonable. HOWEVER.... because there are so few ranges... no one else is the wiser and people from NY are willing to come down and spend so much money.... So as long as this status quo keeps up.... unless those places start thinking ahead... ie, when this all dies down.... , until than... I can absolutely understand why those places have no reason they can think of of supporting the frugal gun owners here.... as opposed to just charging someone more money because there is no other choice. I can guarantee you, if a few more ranges popped up.... the level of service received at other ranges would quickly go up, and the cost of gun ownership in NJ would quickly decline.... until then... they will keep charging $60 for a 15 round AR-15 Mag that their cost is $15 on, and exuberantly priced ammo, and guns at full MSRP.

State Assembly: 60% Democrats 40% Republicans. State Senate, same percentage... 24 Democrats, 16 Republicans.... OGAM passed with 21 to 15. Keep in mind, on more than one occasion Christie has said he is in support of gun control, and from his past, was all for the Assault Rifle Ban. Only way to stop this travesty is from having it come up for a vote. Got to keep pounding and overwhelming the state representatives. Expecting Christie to VETO is NOT the answer.

How about experience? In all seriousness, Hard Cast lead is not that terrible... but soft cast lead will foul up and has on quite a few occasions lead to KB's. (Kabooms) in stock glock barrels. We the lead starts fouling, it can foul up pretty quick. The other big point of consideration.... spend a few cents more and shoot at least Jacketed, or Plated with no exposed lead base. 1. Much better for your health. 2. Much easier to clean your gun. Glock 10mm for first handgun? Glock 40 S&W for first hand gun? If money is burning in your pocket I guess.... but when it is your first handgun and you don't know what you want or don't want yet.... why pick up the two handguns that will be quite hard to get rid of, or find ammo for? At the very least find a nice used one. There was a nice Glock 22 for sale on here for $450 with 3 mags. Better yet, get a 17 or 19 if you must own a glock, play with the system... if you don't like it, you can sell it within mins without taking a huge hit (or any at all if you bought new). Another option if you insist on... "go big or go home" http://www.aimsurplus.com/product.aspx?item=F1SWMP45 $459 for a gently used M&P 45 full size. The big problem with glock 10mm is the super duper huge glock frame that they run the 10mm/45acp on.

I sent Evan a message to see if we can confirm this. If we can, I am all good for this guy's defense based on what was presented here.

Jon... but it is Gene.... he likes that can of bills and change. =)

I believe they should have parking for those who visit the statehouse for hearings right there at the state house, or so it was for the OGAM meetings.

here is the problem.... some people will abuse the policy. There are no issues if someone holds a permit for you while you wait.... but it is a bit fu'ish if you have an FFL hold a gun for you for 6 months or more... especially if it is a rifle. However, if you paid for the item in full.... I do not see any issues. If you pre pay a deposit or what not, then talk to the FFL.

Switched from Sprint to Tmobile after considering ATT. On HSPA+ I am typically getting 8mbps down, with around 15+ in the Woodbridge area and as you get closer to the city. No dropped call issues with any phones, and uber clear voice. A friend of mine started working for Tmobile Corporate so has some pull. Ie... we just got 2 Galaxy Note S2's and a Windows 8X for free, with $50 a month for unlimited everything. They have a test trial, so if you want to try, let me know. But we are extremely happy. Only perk to Verizon is their big 3g network once you leave urban areas... however for the future, their network is quite limited for future LTE upgrades of LTE advanced. Tmobile and Sprint, and especially now with the MetroPCS aquisition, TMO has the most bandwidth in the NYC area by far. Average Joe is a Tmo engineer =) so ask him to confirm.

+1. I live the baby eagles but they have mag issues. Fnx45 for budget minded, hk45 if you can swing it. Sent from my SGH-T889 using Tapatalk 2

I will be there, like at the NJ Safe meetings and hoping to actually get more than 1.5 mins to speak. Have a testimony prepared to cover this from the Jobs/economics point of view.

Signed and now on our NJGF facebook page.

No issues here. Roads in Princeton were good until you got to little side streets. Everywhere else no issues. Right now estimating 3 to 4 inches... nothing to write home about. Wifey is teaching classes at noon in Cherry Hill area, so trying to see the road conditions and all.

The Taurus 1911 are really a terrific value for what they are. I would not hesitate to buy one. The triggers are pretty nice and they have good features. I would get a Taurus 1911 over a base RIA any day of the week. For cheaper 1911..... 1. Taurus 1911 2. STI Spartan 3. Magnum Research Desert Eagle 1911 4. Remington 1911

And I may be adding to that statistic... I hope. lol. sometime soon.

Even if this passes, and Christie comes to support gun owners and vetos this.... can't the legislation put it through anyway with a super majority? And once again... I highly doubt Chris Christie would veto any anti gun bills. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

Slowing down. The price of 223 is coming down on gunbroker from over $1 a round down to around $.75. Guns are easy to find if you look, anything is avail on gunbroker. Lowers are easier to get. Lots of new gun buyers... but suppliers are meeting demands. Classic Arms had plenty of mags. The dumb money already bought the AR's and such, this is the tail end.
