A little off topic but speaks to shooting off a gun in the house. When I lived up north, my next door neighbor had her husbands service revolver and kept it by her bed. One evening, I heard a "bang", I looked out and didn't see anything. A few minutes later we heard another bang? Again, I went to the door and looked around and didn't see anything wrong. After a few minutes, I hear my neighbor at my front door calling me. I went to the door to find her holding the revolver in both hands, and it was cocked and loaded (and NOT pointing at me). I carefully pinched off the hammer and took the gun away from her. She said she thought she heard something and went and got the gun, before she knew what happened, she had cocked the gun and forgot how to uncock it so she shot her bed. Somehow, she cocked it again and shot the bed a second time. I unloaded the gun for her, and she said she was going to take it to the police department and that they would clean it for her and give it back to her. (My wife was hoping they would just keep it, she was 80 years old and should not be handling any gun). To our surprise, she got it back from them a few days later. It was amazing how we were able to hear it so clearly in our house with the doors and windows closed. BTW, it was a .38 service revolver that her late husband used when he was a prison guard at Rahway Prison.

I have heard the same thing! I don't think I would chance it myself. I have a couple hundred rounds of HP reloads in 9mm and .40S&W, not for HD but for when the zombies come :scared-eek: . I agree with Old School, you can't go wrong with the old 870!

The worst thing they could have done is tell him that the gun came in the day he canceled and they sold it to someone else. It was petty, childish and very bad business. Even if it really did come in, what was their thought process in telling him that? Any respect many people might have had for them is out the window now!

Excellent advice! There are so many good places to buy and order your stuff from here in jersey, all you have to do is ask around. If it were just this one transaction, we might be able to chalk it up to weather or the current rush on guns but this type of stuff seems to be habitual at this place. As far as the refund, any good business will refund your money as soon as you make a return or cancel an order, they should not be waiting for the CC company to return the money to them before crediting your card, that is ridiculous! I have worked retail for over 30 years and have never heard of anybody doing that! I am sure that not all the transactions done at BA are problematic, but far too many seem to be. At least enough for us to be giving a heads up to our members, so that they can make an informed decision for themselves. I guess we have beat this topic to death for now.

I don't think they are learning, or maybe they just don't care since you hear it so often on here? It is a shame too since they seem to have a nice facility for shooting. I may be wrong but I don't think the shooting range would pay the nut. I would think that they need sales too?

I think there are two re-occurring issues here. The first is being having them charge your credit card in full when they order your gun. I believe that might be a violation of their merchant account agreement? The second is promising a delivery date without actually checking availability. Why can so many other dealers and FFLs on this site check with their suppliers for availability first then give you an informed delivery date, and yet, it always seems that BA promises but does not deliver? It's not rocket science, they can give their supplier a call or check the dealer's inventory online.

I believe anyone can buy rifle ammo.

The PX4 is available in three basic firing schemes. The Model F is double-action (SA/DA) with a slide mounted ambidextrous safety lever that disengages the trigger and acts as a decocker. The Model G is double-action (SA/DA) with a slide mounted ambidextrous decocking-only lever. The Model D has no external safety/decocker, has a spurless hammer that resets to uncocked after every fire, and thus has a trigger that is double-action-only (DAO). All models have an internal firing pin safety.

Great photo for reference! Thanks BCeagle!

Welcome to the forum from Toms River.

Yeah, like somebody with a $235,000.00 boat would let this bunch onboard?

Matt, if you guys go out on a head boat, you will not need to be registered as you all will be covered by their commercial license.

:laughing-rolling:

Mike, I have fished with my son for 27 years and we have never fished for striped bass! Fluke, Flounder, Weakfish, Bluefish, Seabass but we have never fished for or caught a Striper. My brother in law and sister (who I have been fishing with for 10 years) have never fished for striped bass either. Now that I think about it, there are only a couple of people in our small marina (100+ boats) that actually go out for striped bass? More for you guys, I guess?

I hate you Chad! Now I have to go out to Wally World and get a box of Peeps! :doh:

This is from the NJDEP Division of Fish & Wildlife Under a new federal law, most New Jersey saltwater recreational fishermen will be required to register with the new National Saltwater Angler Registry before they go fishing in 2010. The Saltwater Angler Registry is part of an improved data program to help protect the long-term sustainability of recreational fishing. Beginning January 1, 2010, New Jersey fishermen must register if they: * Fish for or catch anadromous species in tidal and salt waters; these are fish like river herring, shad or striped bass that live in the oceans but spawn in fresh water, OR * Fish in the Federal waters more than three miles from the ocean shore or from the mouths of rivers or bays, OR * Don't meet any of the exceptions in the law. Those exceptions include anglers who

mipafox, everyone that shoots this thing falls in love. They are very reliable, super easy to clean, have practically zero recoil and are extremely accurate!

Yeah Ray, that's the fun part of reloading, becoming a brass whore!

+1 for Range 14! Bring the watermellons, cantelope, coconuts and cases of coke to blow away! Very reasonably priced and visitor friendly!

Welcome JJOE from Toms River, I used to love right next to Somerset for 32 years.

Welcome from Toms River.

Anyone ever eat at the grease trucks at Rutgers?

I do not believe it was legal at the time? Never really thought about it at the time. People were stopping in the station every day for months selling stuff out of their trunks and back of their trucks. TVs, radios, new tires (from the Firestone that got burned down), guns, you name it!
