But there is a law that you have to confirm someone is a resident and their identity. (for private sales out of state). Um, if the guy doesnt even want to send a copy of his DL to FFL..... I would be cautious.

btw, Maks for State Senate 2010. lol jk humn. maybe not... got me thinking about it.

How many sick days do you have? I have worked with enough people to know that they save up enough, and then just blow them all at the end. if it was really that important, someone would use a sick day, or half a day. the point is... it wasnt 800,000, obviously, and no one is asking for even 1% to show up. less than 1/10th of 1 percent showed up. Had there even been 100 people in that room, it would send a better message. Most of my clients see me during the daytime. If you have to go to a doctor, lawyer, accountant, or DMV, or to go fight a speeding ticket, you take a day off. Bottom line, It really just means that it isn't important enough for someone. Btw, it was easier for me to take a day off, or to take a sick day when I was W2 then self employed. taking a day off as self employed means you are not getting paid that day. We don't have vacation time, sick days, or anything else. and I am not too fired up, actually fairly calm. Granted, I have been told I am a little blunt with the truth, but that is what my clients pay me for. Besides... I am hungry. lol. I dont mind hearing excuses, everyone does it, but I do hate pitty parties. they are pointless and dont solve anything.

thanks Chris. Now that I dwell on it a bit more... those "lousy FFL's that just want to charge an arm and a leg" are the only ones that came out in numbers and testified at the One Gun a Month hearing in Trenton. Aside from them, there were 4 NJGF members and 5 NJCSD members there that I counted. So 9 gun owners in NJ, out of over 800,000. meanwhile, I counted at least 15 to 20 FFL's out of the 265 or so in NJ. At this point I am going to be very honest and probably piss off a few people, including "old timers," or anyone who preaches buy online, ship to local FFL....... but to all those people, in this case, F.U. Bitch and complain all you want, but in my eyes, those money hungry, over charging, dirtybag, sleezy brick and mortar shops do more for the firearms community and do more to protect your rights as gun owners than any one individual. MLK, don't judge a man by the color of his skin, but by his actions. So aside those 9 or so gun owners that bothered to show up for a few hours, no other bench racing gun owner has the right to complain, and until anything changes, I will hold the opinions and actions of those that bothered in higher regard. Less than 1/10th of 1 percent of the gun owners bothered to show up or write, or do anything to support their rights, yet close to 10% of the FFL's showed up. Tell me there is nothing wrong with that? And no one has the right to say "I didnt know" as there were posts about it on every firearms forum, njcsd, here, ar15.com, nj hunter, etc. There were flyers in shops, in fact I brought some to BA every time. NJCSD brought flyers to the local shops. Ranges had this. People talk. At the end of the day, yes, someone may have 200 guns they collected over the last 40 years, but have you ever bothered to say thank you to any FFL for actually doing something? Or more importantly, have you thanked that newbie that paid $800 for a Wasr at Brick Armory during the hype? Stop laughing at that newbie for over paying, and thank them for getting into the sport, and thank the dealer that they are around to give you a place to enjoy it.

Nice bill. You bought my scope. lol. Order from buy.com? so NJGF gets some credit and you get a good price.

Why? because I like shooting there and I like the people there. Do I think it is stupid to close and on such short notice? absolutely, but I have seen and heard other stupid crap too. I dont hold grudges against people, and I do understand what he is thinking. I am sure they will be and open on tuesdays soon enough after they realize the impact. If not, then perhaps there will be an opportunity to buy a range soon :shhh: . Whats the point of being miserable and letting it ruin your day? What happened was bucket 3, outside of our control, and mostly outside of our influence. From this, a few things will happen.... there will be some BA members who will not care, there will be those that care but put up with it, and there will be some who will not put up with it, cancel their memberships and go elsewhere. Soon though, it will be forgotten and it will revert back to how it has been, whatever your individual experience is. A few of the folks from chat basically decided to move to Wed nights and while not Tuesdays, it is a day to go shoot. Am I going to go every week like I have been for the past year with the few exceptions, probably not, because I would be much happier shooting outdoors at Dix. At any time, any range owner can decide to take a day off, and we are guests of their business. They have that right. Based on what their policies are, it is up to each individual to do as they wish. While we may have our own opinions, at the end of the day, no one is putting a gun to anyone's head and telling them what to do. That is the great thing about this forum, it is a medium for people to share their ideas, where there is no right or wrong. As for renewing membership, if the tuesday thing is permanent, I will be considering it as well, I pay for my memberships as much as any others. Still waiting for Central Jersey to invite me to a free membership. :mrgreen: Just a quick addendum, part of my reasoning behind not being super pissed about this is because we cant afford to be. As great or as crappy an FFL may be, in New Jersey, strength in numbers. As much as seasoned shooters may complain about newbies, those newbies are the ones that are keeping things going and making sure we still have the privilege to own firearms in NJ. Public ranges like Brick Armory, Shore Shot and Bullet Hole, are the main people who get new shooters started in the sport. Without them, we are as good as dead.

+1... so we can do both. tuesday and wed. =P Working all day today, so will not be able to go shoot tonight, but will be at Dix tomorrow it looks like, and perhaps in the eve at BA. Hopefully they get heir act together and open up tuesdays because this is ludicrous.

very nice and welcome to the forum.

rifle ammo doesnt make sense to buy at walmart. online alot cheaper or dicks with coupons.

nice, any pics of the receiver? how much?

once again dealing with the pistol weight and if it applies to stuff on the list or not. I believe Ruger sent out a letter stating that Charger is not NJ compliant due to weight.

I take it the Brick Armory counter is not yours?

:text-welcomewave: :violence-snipersmiley:

Awaiting response. As of now, my plan is to it up Dix wed, and perhaps BA wed night. This will change if I hear back from Kyle@SS, or Phil@BA

lol. I am assuming this thing is over the weight limit?

tony, mind scanning me a copy of the letter? I can have it here hosted for all to use.

I have emailed both Phil @ Brick Armory and Kyle @ Shore shot about this. Hoping to have a response soon.

very nice catch mike.

90 days is not unheard of. It is reality. Most towns do not have someone full time to deal with pistol permits and firearm ID's. that is where we are. Best you can do is to politely call once a week to check up on them. Yes, you can hire a lawyer, and yes, you can be a douche. At the end of the day, you will get your FID and permits faster, but at what cost? Luckily, you only get your FID once. Make sure to plan your purchases and request multiple permits at a time. You do this twice a year. Get 6 permits, and use them up. In 3 months, go get them extended. As far as the other topics, keep it on topic, or take it to the politics section.

Humn, I am on both sides of the fence on this one. While I am not yet in the camp of spending $3k on a piece of glass, I am certainly able to respect any top end Nikon, Pentax, Burris, S&B, Swarowski. At the same time, I would want to look through any optic before buying it. Currently I have Nikon & Burris glass. The nikon was a $800 scope on a $800 rifle, and the Burris was a $250 scope on a $1,000 rifle. For a rimfire, you have some great rimfire specific glass, which is great clear glass designed to withstand rimfire. At the same time, I have looked through crappy $100 scopes. For instance, Brunton, had on natchez a $250 scope marked to $80, and was 24x optical. When I got it, shot it once and had to return it. total crap, wasnt even as clear as a bushnell rimfire scope. I find the rifles with better scopes, are not only more enjoyable to shoot, but I shoot them alot more often as well. Lets be honest, if you are complaining about spend another $150 for a scope, or even to spend $150 for a scope, or $300 on an eotech..... shouldn't be shooting. I be anyone of us blows more money on ammo in the course of a few weeks, if not one day. There are a ton of great optics starting at the $130 range.

I guess so. It did not even have a tag on it yet. He had a few others that the same person brought in I take it.

Only open Wens, Fri, Sat & Sunday right? yep

so just did a bit of digging, rifle made in Feb of 1944, and right before they switched to chrome moly and switching back, and right before they switched to beech stocks.

i doubt it. But everyone should have a mosin.
