I think the large issue is that they sure as heck know it is now a financial burden. Think about it, $100 for FID, $20 - $60 for background checks/prints, then $50 for pistol permits + $16 for NICS... you are over $200 for just looking to exercise your rights.

Looks like a beretta neos. So... it is unique... can you share why it is appealing? Or just that it is now rare? Over $1k for a 22lr pistol just seems tough to swallow. Really glad you are happy though! Congrats.

No. Costs are set through legislation so I believe they would have to pass that first. Apparently he tried it last year and it failed? I do think if we have everyone try and reach out and talk about how it is a burden and too expensive, it will not pass. But if it does, I am sure NRA, GOA and SAF would be all over this.

I know, I was really fighting hard not to type it... but in this case it had to be done.

yes, as far as I recall, only needs to be shipped air, does not need to be overnight. I took guns to Fedex and shipped from there no problem, guns to manufacturer, and long guns to FFLs for guns sold on GB.

Okay... so where do we start. 1. The law prohibiting 30 round magazines passed A LONG LONG LONG time ago. The law just passed limited the capacity to 10 vs 15. 2. You are not going to find an FFL who is stupid enough to risk their license to sell you an illegal magazine. Beyond that, you can't be serious right? You come on to a community as a relative newbie and ask people how you can break the law? And I am just wondering.... "are you for real?" Because either... 1. This is a liberal troll trying to prove gun owners are stupid... In which case this is really stupid, or. 2. You are seriously asking in which case, and I say this with the utmost respect.... You're an idiot. No one is going to help you break the law, perhaps some gang bangers on the corner in Camden or Newark will know... or if you really want to know, visit 125 W. State Street, Trenton, NJ 08608 or call 609-292-6000. They may be able to help.

Is the $100 going to be now renewable? Existing FIDs grandfathered?

Crazy, they charge $10 to shoot a few rounds? Will need to get details. Or I am assuming money goes to the range, S&W is happy to provide guns so they can sell more.

So this is what I was afraid of. The big change here is really for the FFLs. Yikes... Now are these permit fees on top of the excise taxes? If so... come to PA guys... buy your guns here. Vendors, feel free to set up shop here. =)

all of my single stack 1911 mags that I use for gun games with both my 45 and 9mm 1911s are stock Wilson ETM mags. only downside is that the followers are plastic, so over time may be an issue. Otherwise, great mags and fairly easy to clean for most gun owners.

A nice manageable number. =)

Awesome. How many folks showed up? And Pburgh has an outside range too?! I thought it was just indoors.

Heh. So Had zero issues getting from Phillipsburgh back to north of Easton, roads were clear. The only issues were the last 4 miles passing through Forks/Tatamy where the roads were not even touched, and going up and down hills. Interestingly, less snow on the ground here than in Pburg. Wonder if North Jersey not freaking out cause snow has been a regular occurrence this entire winter while Central and South Jersey have been largely spared.

So when I put this post I totally forgot about the snow. In either case, 4 of us got together and had a good time. Was a pleasure to meet you @father-of-three and welcome back to the area! We talked loudly about firearms, no one batted an eye... then again, this is Western NJ. @Pizza Bob was thinking about the IDPA match yesterday but got caught up with errands. How many stages is it usually? Round count?

Hey folks, I know it is very short notice but having an impromptu meeting with some forum staff in the area and wanted to see if anyone wants to get together and grab some coffee. Figure around 5 PM or so. @Pizza Bob held these awesome events a few years ago so wanted to do a few more. 1198 US-22, Phillipsburg, NJ 08865

Thanks for bringing it up. =) Surprised no one else did.

But once again though we are forgetting that the vast majority of people in NJ believe guns should be far more regulated. Look, Slavery was once legal too.... Liberals view guns much like a few wanted to outlaw slavery, give women the right to vote, etc. Without looking at the facts... that guns are constitutional right and outlawing them is completely stupid... the vast majority of the world controls guns... and THAT is how guns are framed in people's minds... (until they shoot a gun and realize it is no different than a kitchen knife.) We simply need more people to be "okay" with guns and not make it the large and "safe" political issue for the majority to go after. I.e. more NJ residents believe in banning or control guns than kicking out illegals, or other political issues. And focusing on pandering to other gun owners does not expand the base of gun owners.... We should all be focused on getting more liberals and more importantly on the fence moderates, like my close friend... who generally did not see the need for guns... to trying them to now buying them up. lol. Instead what do we as a community do? Run off anyone who does not subscribe to the entire agenda.

You are preaching to the choir!

Thanks @Golf battery for pointing out that the discussion section was not set up for here!

That was addressed. And it presents the fact that quite frankly most people don't know the updated laws.... no one got a memo in the mail and I will be getting more involved in spreading that message and the stupidity of some of these actions.

Not opening that can of worms... but yes... you are right, there is no gun show loophole... just people who don't observe the law. =) OR who follow it to the T.

Spot on... I do however believe we are quickly approaching the point of "Don't give a shit anymore" with many gun owners. Just look at all of the people we know are in non-compliance with the mag ban. $300 for FID will surely drive people to go "gunshow loophole" in Kentucky or elsewhere.

So keep in mind, this was Obama's playbook with Coal... "We will make it too expensive for them to exist." Murphy was Obama's finance chief iirc and then got that cushy post in Germany? Making it too expensive and too time consuming to shoot and buy guns in NJ is the only way they can curb gun ownership. Think ammo tax, higher FFL fees. I am wondering if they will raise FFL fees too... if so, that may surely get rid of a lot of at home dealers.

Thanks. Any cash discount on the BP? or same if cash or credit? Have not been to your auction in person. Do they generally get busy?

I am thinking the intent of it was to verify your identity? That it was you who applied and not someone else? Or in case NICS comes up with more than 1 match?
