AR15s - What's legal?
Just go to Camden every third Saturday. You will here the command FIX BAYONETTES followed by a charge of yelling and screaming dealers having a turf war. It was tried where I live but the wild Turkeys got in the way and tripped them up. A memo was subsequently sent out and only in urban settings will it take place anymore.

Just a hello
Welcome, you will find handloading a very rewarding hobby.

NJ State Police Firearms Unit.
http://www.njsp.org/about/firearms.html Here is a quick link to the NJSP firearms page. Answers questions, prints forms. Helpful as a quick reference. Also, I have called them on a few occasions with questions. The Trooper/Detective was very helpful and knowledgable about the laws. They were not dismissive, sarcastic or rude. I know there might be hesitation to call the Police about gun legalities for fear of they have my # and they are coming for me. They already have your # if you have a FID card. It is another resource that gets very little use.

I used to build a lot of model planes when I was younger. Then I discovered 30lb test and fireworks. Two bottle rockets on an F14 will push pretty quick until it goes boom. The only problem was my yard ended before the boom.

What type of ammo does everyone prefer..
The only problem I have seen with Blazer aluminum has been dirty guns. I am a clean freak when it comes to my guns. One friend of mine was not as meticulous and he would have problems with the Blazer. I took a mags worth from him and shot it no problem. At one point I was shooting a lot of it in my P220. $6.99 a box from Natchez was nice. A friend and I put 500 rds of it through the Sig as quick as we could without a hitch. Just my experiences

I would, but for the life of me I can not get my pictures to format. Even when I reduce size they are too big. But take my word, I refinished a rifle for each of my kids and they look pretty cool. One is a pink, purple and black camo Little Buckaroo for my daughter and a Savage 3b in black green and brown camo for my son.

For just range work with pistols I shot a lot of CCI Blazer aluminum and Fed AE for rifle. I now reload my own so the cost is much cheaper. Now I shoot mostly lead bullets.

Shooting Families
We all know thw future of anything relies upon bringing others into the fold. A big part of it is introducing children when they are young to shooting. Having a Spouse that enjoys the hobby as well makes it much easier. Who here makes shooting a family affair. Whether it is two of you or 3,4,or more. Both of my kids 6 & 8 enjoy shooting as well as my wife. The kids have shown an interest in guns, but just this year have gone shooting. Finding a range that would allow them at a young age was hard. Thank you Brick Armory

No need to pick a favorite then so early on in your shooting hobby. Just be like Heff and try a new one each month.

First handgun
If you like the striker fired pistols, check out an XD. The grip is more contoured than a Glock & more comfortable for me.

Other hobbies/interests
I am all about the outdoors. We spend our time Hunting and fishing. Kayaking, camping & hiking. Taking the kids out to historic sites and basicly trying to tire them out so they go to bed early.

Pelosi wants a *compromise* on the AWB
Compromise to her means do it my way and we will get along.

What is your favorite handgun caliber? Not a comparison, but why do you shoot that caliber. I am currently on a 9mm kick because of cost savings, but I can't deny my love for my 45's. I just like the feel of shooting them. Now if I could only get a BFR in 45/70

What branch did you serve in.
The OD uniform really dates that photo.

First handgun
You can't go wrong with a CZ75. Anyone I know that owns or has shot one loves them. Firearms are a very personal thing. There are a select few that are almost a universal fit, but the majority are personal preference. Glocks are good reliable pistols. Fondle as many as yoou can. I took a guy I work with shooting last week. He loved the look of HK's, but never shot one. He shot my USP and was not happy. I switched him to an XD and he would not put it down.

Welcome, the shop in Rahway is The Firearms Guild. There is also a shop in Sayreville called The Sayreville Sportsman on or by Journey Mill Rd. I have not been there in some time though. In Shrewsburry there is a shop called Lannigans on Shrewsburry Ave. They cater to LE but sell to civillians as well. And do not forget Effingers on Rte 28 in Bound Brook. Good Luck
