First handgun
Did you ever shoot a Beretta or a Baby eagle? Please do. =P Go to a shop that rents, and rent one. Otherwise, if you want to shoot anything I own, come down to either Brick Armory or Citizens and more than welcome to. Also, dont be afraid to consider pre owned. Whats funny, Everyone I met over the past few trips to the range, had a CZ75 or a variant. =) You want something cheap that works well... http://www.classicarms.us/ CZ-82, $199.

First handgun
Why dont you just apply for pistol permits now... even if you will be moving, you will get pistol permits before. Worst case, you spent $2 a permit.

Hello from Bergen Co.
welcome. got a 22a myself.

First handgun
Do yourself a favor, and DO NOT buy anything that you "just like ok". Buy something you really like. My recommendation, in the sell forum here... a member posted an H&K 45 USP.... that is an great firearm at a good price. Other alternatives, CZ75/85 or Baby Desert Eagle, beretta 92fs. Do not be afraid of buying a used firearm either. As far as the conversion kits... they will cost more than a 22lr gun itself.

bunch of questions....
most handgun ammo is 50 rounds. I am fairly certain they will still do background check and will do prints. both brick armory and bullet hole let you shoot up to 50bmg indoors. well, brick does, bullet hole let's you shoot rifles, but don't know up to what caliber.

Which .22 to buy?
I will open up a Rimfire forum here... so post it there. I have a 22a and now it works very well. First 500 rounds were horrid. Give it a very good clean, after every time you shoot at least 250 rounds. CCI Blazers, and Aguila 40grain work very well. Anything roundnose bullet will work better than hollowpoints.

Firearms experience
great thread. My firearms experience started back in russia 18 years ago when during the equivalent of our Boy Scouts, we became familiar with basic mosin rifles. Otherwise, I have been shooting between 4 to 5 years, but since getting my FID card in the begining of the year, I have done more shooting in the past few months than during that entire 5 year period. My brother, who served in the Soviet army at that time, ukraine, than introduced me to shooting. Naturally, I shot more than he did. hehe. Otherwise, my firearms knowledge was enchaned by learning in the forums, as well as "virtual" practice via the means of Counterstrike, Call of Duty 4, and the likes. hehe. Currently in the process of taking NRA Instructor classes.

Who has done this?
how about a rimfire thumb? =P When I picked up my S&W 22a, after 100 rounds, every other round would be a stove pipe or a failure to fire. My thumb and index finger would hurt for 2 days, following going shooting. Luckily, after 1.2k rounds, it loosened up and knock on wood, no issues.

New here....
welcome, and I would like to extend our deepest sympothy to you and your family on behalf of the forum. Having lost a family member recently, I can begin to see how you feel, and I am sure many others have as well. Never the less, it does not replace a loved one. On a different note, welcome to the forum and hopefully you have a community that can fill the void that your grandfather left. Where in the Meadowlands? East Rutherford? When are you getting your Firearms ID?

any ranges rent?
Shore shot is $15? plus you buy ammo, Brick Armory is $10.

NJ Hunting License
if it is on private property, I do not see any issues, esp if going target shooting? For hunting, I personally do not know the answer, nor do I think there are many hunters here per say. check out www.newjerseyhunter.com.

For South Jersey Residents.
Just wanted to link this over from NJCSD.org Newly elected District 3 Congressman John Adler, Democrat, supports bringing back the failed federal Assault Weapons Ban. Adler's name was conspicuously missing from a list of Democrats who oppose the reinstatement of the ban. Adler won the congressional race by a narrow margin, defeating Republican Chris Myers for the seat held by Republican Jim Saxton for 12 terms. Saxton announced his retirement in 2007. New Jersey's third district has traditionally been a Republican stronghold, but targeted Democrat efforts there and record Democrat voter turnout helped give Adler the win. Democrats have coveted District 3 for a long time due, among other things, to its potential revenue base, and were gleeful to have gained control of that region of New Jersey. After his win, Adler termed his victory "a mandate for positive change in society," which reflected the Obama campaign's message of "Hope" and "Change". Given the onset of "buyer's remorse" and decreasing confidence in President Obama's policies, Adler could be walking a fine line by supporting radical Democrat proposals in what remains one of the more conservative areas of New Jersey. Congressman John Adler can be contacted about his support of the Assault Weapons Ban at one of his three offices: Washington, DC Office Congressman John Adler 1223 Longworth HOB Washington, D.C. 20515 Phone: (202) 225-4765 Fax: (202) 225-0778 Toms River Office Congressman John Adler 247 Main Street Toms River, NJ 08753-7468 Phone: (732) 914-2020 Fax: (732) 914-8351 Marlton Office Congressman John Adler 28 North Maple Marlton, NJ 08053-3021 Phone: (856) 985-2777 Fax: (856) 985-2788

What other forums?
I am REALLY REALLY interested in this topic, and would love to get more discussion this very thing. I will reserve my comments until a good amount of you make your point.

Just a quick introduction
welcome to the forum.
-
the shootings around the nation.
Just wanted to get everyone's opinion on the shootings around the nation... pittsburgh, the upstate NY one... a co worker came up to me in the office today, knowing I am a firearms person and was asking me about it. it really is disturbing.... While on the news they can use this as an excuse for more gun control, I am saying that if people had a right to defend themselves, if One person was concealed carrying there, there is a chance that not as many people would be hurt. As far as the media, what annoys me is that no one mentioned how many people died as a result of drunk drivers. and lastly, my heart goes out to all the people involved or dealing with the quake in Italy. I know how in NJ we do not worry about it as much... but back in Russia, I remember going outside in the middle of the night because of rumblings.

Try before you buy
Nothing was intended... but people do have alot of choices to try firearms... or honestly, just go to the range, gun owners are generally happy people passionate about firearms.

Try before you buy
Ready Aim fire is good in PA. I say support local if you can. Both ShoreShot and Brick Armory rent. Brick Armory has a good emount of Glocks, one in every caliber I believe, 1911 Wilson combat, a few 22lr such as Walther P22 and Ruger Mark 3? Shore Shot has even more. If anyone is ever at the range, more than glad to let you shoot mine. But yes. the theme is... you would not buy a car without driving it... with a firearm... have to at the bare minimum dry fire it in hand, and best would be to fire it. case in point... I was look at the S&W M&P 9c... at the bullet hole they had a demo day... shot the gun, and decided it was not for me. at brick armory... I knew I didnt like glocks... but rented a glock in a 45 and a 9mm to confirm that I REALLY do not like the way glocks fit in hand. At the same time... I love the way CZ's/EAA/Baby eagles fit, and XD's. Buyings guns because they look nice or you read on thenet... is what creates safe queens.
