Maksim

very nice, introduce him to the sport and tell him to sign on here. =P I would love to be there but I will be at the general meeting at CRRC in West Windsor. Otherwise, I am refinishing the banner just to make it a bit more patriotic. =P

I am so there. Make it an NJGF event?

All the way on the right on the counter, the only thing they had left was a bunch of CCI Blazers, alum casings for $11.99. didnt see others... they might of just gotten them in. I left Sportsmen's around 1pm? Then shot up to Cheyenne and hung out there, talked to the staff and owners... went to office around 2pm. See, worst part about it, I was visiting a client who owns a pool shop across the street from Sportsmen's , and how can I not stop in? Met a 70? year old gentleman buying a S&W M&P 40 as his first gun... didnt know how to rack the slide. Usually the staff there is very good, but they were on vacation and had a young kid who just applied for his fid... I know you want to get the sale... but come on... I would of said 9mm, in a steel beretta, alot less kick, and more forgiving gun, over a 40s&w, To put it in perspective, dropped by Cheynne, and there was a 40 year old or so lady buying her first handgun and rifle... the young guy there, took half an hour, after paperwork and selling the gun, to show her how to use it, how it tears down, and wouldnt let her go out of the store until she was able to field strip the gun, put it back together. Say what you want, but not one of the staff that I encountered at Cheynne, I would not trust with helping my mother buy a first handgun. Sportsmen's, you have a relationship with the two guys there, nothing more. Ammo prices... alot better though, hehe. CCI blazer 9mm, non reloadable alum, Sportsmen's $11.99, $12.49 for CCI Blazer Brass, Cheynne $15 for CCI Blazer cheap stuff. btw, if you are in the market for a reasonably priced Desert Eagle .50 AE, they got one there, used, $1100. Awesome trigger.

Ok, so they are subbing the American Eagle as well. Nice. I went to the freehold one, and the guy told me they were not. I will drop by my Dick Sports and pick up a case then. Still cheaper then buying online and paying shipping. It was all brass right?

Though it was only a box. Sportsman Center in Bordentown, had one box of 9mm CCI Blazer Brass for $12.49. They did have 2 boxes that I saw of CCI Blazer aluminum for $11.99 Dicks sells for $14.99... I honestly was surprised to see it that low. Even though Natchezss has it online for $10 or so a box, add in shipping, so unless you are ordering 10 boxes or more, makes sense.

those are crazy prices... though the shops renting full auto ak's sure are making money.

Absolutely.

these were the others I was working with. a few edits were lost...

Whats wrong with dragunov? =P Advise taken, I will add another one in there...

Yes No? Comments? btw, refresh your internet explorer if old one still shows up.

after speaking with you in private, and knowing what part of town your business is in, and even though on the border of a very very very nice town... I would still in your case. My only question, do you have to carry it concealed or open?

I actually spoke with John and a few others about setting up an IDPA league there... they will talk to Milton to see what they can do. The biggest hurdle is what day? As they are open daily for members and open walk on daily until 10pm.

had a great time.... met a few new people, including a fellow with a new cz 75 sp-01

going there now if anyone wants to stop by say hello. Will be introducing gf to shooting. Blue jeans, black longsleeve shirt.

SUBJECT: Guidelines Regarding the "Substantially Identical" Provision in the State's Assault Firearms Laws I. Introduction In recent weeks there has been a question about the meaning of the term "substantially identical" in New Jersey's assault firearms law. The Legislature addressed this question in the provisions of the Code of Criminal Justice, and despite the clarity of the law, it is appropriate for the Attorney General to provide guidance to the prosecutors in order to ensure that the law is administered uniformly and effectively throughout the State. N.J.S.A. 52:17B-98. I am directing the prosecutors, as chief law enforcement officers of their respective counties, to share this guidance with local police departments, who in turn should provide copies of this memorandum to any member of the public who requests information on assault firearms. II. Guidelines New Jersey law lists firearms that are prohibited "assault firearms." N.J.S.A. 2C:39-1w.(1). In addition, the law provides that the term "assault firearm" includes, "Any firearm manufactured under any designation which is substantially identical to any of the firearms listed" in the law. N.J.S.A. 2C:39-1w.(2). Thus, a firearm is an assault firearm if it is included on the list of banned firearms or if it is manufactured under a different designation than a firearm on the list but is "substantially identical" to a specific listed firearm. We believe "substantially identical" is clear by its plain meaning. The Criminal Code provides that the statutes in the Code must be read "according to the fair import of their terms." N.J.S.A. 2C:1-2c. The Criminal Code explains that where language may be susceptible to different readings it must be construed to "give fair warning of the nature of the conduct proscribed." N.J.S.A. 2C:1-2a.(4), c. Simply put, the phrase "substantially identical" must be given its plain meaning, one that gives fair warning. The term "substantial" means pertaining to the substance, matter, material or essence of a thing. The term "identical" means exactly the same. Hence, a firearm is substantially identical to another only if it is identical in all material, essential respects. A firearm is not substantially identical to a listed assault firearm unless it is identical except for differences which do not alter the essential nature of the firearm. The following are examples of manufacturer changes that do not alter the essential nature of the firearm: name or designation of the firearm; the color of the firearm; the material used to make the barrel or stock of the firearm; the material used to make a pistol grip; a modification of a pistol grip. This is not an exclusive list. A semi-automatic firearm should be considered to be "substantially identical," that is, identical in all material respects, to a named assault weapon if it meets the below listed criteria: A. semi-automatic rifle that has the ability to accept a detachable magazine and has at least 2 of the following: a folding or telescoping stock; a pistol grip that protrudes conspicuously beneath the action of the weapon; a bayonet mount; a flash suppressor or threaded barrel designed to accommodate a flash suppressor; and a grenade launcher; B. a semi-automatic pistol that has an ability to accept a detachable magazine and has at least 2 of the following: an ammunition magazine that attaches to the pistol outside of the pistol grip; a threaded barrel capable of accepting a barrel extender, flash suppressor, forward handgrip, or silencer; a shroud that is attached to, or partially or completely encircles, the barrel and that permits the shooter to hold the firearm with the nontrigger hand without being burned; manufactured weight of 50 ounces or more when the pistol is unloaded; and a semi-automatic version of an automatic firearm; and, C. a semi-automatic shotgun that has at least 2 of the following: a folding or telescoping stock; a pistol grip that protrudes conspicuously beneath the action of the weapon; a fixed magazine capacity in excess of 5 rounds; and an ability to accept a detachable magazine. III. Inquiries from Private Citizens Law enforcement officers should, whenever possible, attempt to be helpful and to respond to inquiries concerning particular firearms. Private citizens should also be encouraged to consult with their own attorneys and, where necessary, referred to the Firearms Unit of the Division of State Police. IV. Purpose and Effect of these Guidelines In enforcing this law, prosecutors and police should remember that an assault firearms offense requires proof that the defendant knows he or she possesses an assault firearm, e.g., that the defendant knows that the firearm is "substantially identical" to one of the named assault weapons. These guidelines should be followed by all county prosecutors and all law enforcement officers in this State so that the State's assault firearms laws will be uniformly enforced throughout the State.

I would contact any FFL, they would know the answer a lot quicker. Or call up Phil @ brick armory. brickarmoryllc.com I will also pm an other name as well.

Post a message under the events forum. I am definitely interested in IDPA. Never done it, but very much interested in it. I have no problems with letting someone organize a team on here, and esp while this community is growing.

For ray's.... there was a story on nj.com, where a few of the former employees posted... all said they were treated like crap. Also my experience there... employees seemed underpaid, overworked, and underappreciated by the employees... took it out on some customers. Oh well, that is why market economies work.

that is awesome though. I guess I just dont see why not make it as efficient as possible, but then again, if it gets them to their goals, why not right? But it is a great place, with great prices and people. It is good enough now, but I just see sooo much more potential. thanks for your counter view though. :mrgreen:

Breaking news... delayed yet again. Just saw on Fox news NY. Lehman's unit was a partner in the complex, but they never paid the 150mil they promised for the project. http://www.myfoxny.com/dpp/news/local_news/new_jersey/090319_Xanadu_Opening_Delayed_to_2010

Yay. Oooh

That or they already groomed their clientel to the hours they open. =) Its good for them though. They have reasonable prices, perhaps the best in NJ, if they are happy with what they make, by all means. I am wondering though if they make it known that they would be open later... how much more business they would get, esp since Ray's closed down. Both ShoreShot and Brick Armory are open until 10pm daily now, and there were people coming in late. Just last night, we got there at 8pm and there were plenty of people there.

So why not cut some hours on the weekdays, and keep it long on weekends? When I was there for the SW demo day... there were 5 or 6 people behind the counter, and 3 range officers. It was packed... so why not run it long to capitalize on it. Personally, if you are running the business, and not the other way around, there is plenty of space for efficiency.
