silicone cloths or socks recomended?
I use the silicone impregnated gun socks. They help prevent scratches when you put them in and take them out of the safe. I have no problems with rust either.

Black Powder Pistol Shipped to NON-FFL???
Don't fool around with NJ gun laws. You are guilty until proven innocent. Do it by the book and avoid a $10,100 gun. $100 for the gun and $10,000 for the lawyer that got your case dismissed.

wooden stake match
You should post this in the Fun Shoots forum. Don't forget about the Cherry Ridge 2x4 shoots.

New range in West Paterson/Woodland Park?
I agree. I tested a Federal NT in .40S&W. The primer was so tight, it would not come out. I did not want to press too hard because I did not want to break the depriming pin.

Dealing with ANJRPC
I renewed back December. Never recieved my range card. I left several messages on voice mail, heard nothing. Tried the email, heard nothing. I finally emailed the President ANJRPC. He emailed me back and said I should go to the range and if anyone questions me, have them call him. I still have not recieved my card. The Range Safety Officer I spoke to said the new automated card system is a mess. I have had no problems with the RSOs since I am a regular.

Ron: You are talking about Federal NT right? I know the Federal NT is crimped but I used Winchester (WIN) NT and it deprimed and primed with no problems.

New range in West Paterson/Woodland Park?
As previously mentioned, Obama is one of the biggest reasons your range will be successful. Send him a thank you note. I just received my PPH's and Parsippany has issued over 200 permits YTD. Regarding the brass, sell it to the reloaders. They will pay far more than the scrappers. It's up to you to figure out the best way, sorted or unsorted. I used the Brass Wizard (http://www.uniquetek.com/site/696296/product/T1310) to collect my brass and the Shell Sorter (http://www.uniquetek.com/site/696296/product/T1356) to speed up sorting.

You guys are the best! Most USPSA shooters reload so matches would not be well attended with a "no reload" policy. I am glad we are here to work through issues now rather than after you are open. Since you guys are being so accommodating, I feel us reloaders should be extra careful with any ammo brought to your range. It's a respect thing.

As long as you are up and running before it's cold outside, your timing is perfect. I loaded some test rounds this weekend. It would have been so nice to jump in the car and in ten minutes be test firing them.

Locked Box in Locked Trunk
This is not a good reason to give consent. First, how do you know you are not in violation of some law? Most people can cite only 10 laws and there are thousands. What if I forgot a box of hollow points in my trunk from my last visit to the range? I am in violation of the law. What if my teenage kid left his stash of marijuana in the car? Invoking your constitutional rights cannot be used as the reason for a search. Additionally, our rights were earned and protected with the lives of patriots. Why would be toss these rights away for the sake of convenience?

ALERT: ****CASH FOR CLUNKERS****
I saw two cap and ball revolvers, a .22 Deringer, what looked like a cheap .38 revolver and a shotgun Duck taped together. It all looked like junk. People aren't stupid, they only sell guns worth much less than $150. I heard a womam staff member say a few people dropped off guns and walked away without taking cash. Maybe they were ditching some really hot guns. Thank you Mayor Healy, I sold two guns, a broken and rusty Pistolet Automatique and a rusty Astra Ucenta that I wouldn't shoot on a dare. Got $300 for a new Bersa Thunder.

ALERT: ****CASH FOR CLUNKERS****
Sorry guys to you that don't like these guns for cash but I have two rusty pieces of trash handguns that will finance my new Bersa Thunder. I just cannot pass up a deal this good. Thanks for posting the flyer, nice touch.

Slow economy and gun purchases?
I thought due to the economy there would be some good deals on GunBroker but forget about it. Prices just seem to go up up up.

New range in West Paterson/Woodland Park?
Sounds a lot like my experience with a month-gun-a-month exemption. It took about four months with "lost" paperwork delays. Update: They called on my cell phone but it was off and the permits are ready.

So, I am gonna apply for a ogam exempt buy
You have a perfectly legitimate reason for asking for an exemption. The seller wants to sell the entire collection at one time. If you had to purchase one a month, the seller would sell them on GunBroker all at once and have an FFL mail them. Therefore, the only way you can purchase the collection is at one time. I had a similar situation and I received an exemption. Be sure to use the PDF form from the NJ State Police website as it is easier to fill out than by hand. You will need to know the make, model, caliber, action type (revolver or semi-auto) and serial number for each pistol as well as the seller’s name, address and phone number.

Aimpoit on glock?
I have this one from Glockmeiser. It worked well but I didn't like the optics so I upgraded the open sights. https://shop.ombguns.com/p-559-glockmeister-optic-mount-with-weaver-base.aspx If you want to buy it, contact me.

Belt / Holster setup questions
You can get into USPSA easily. I suggest the Blade-Tech DOH holster and two cheap Fobus double mag pouches. Get a velcro inner belt and outer belts (CR Speed are good). I cannot recall only rule on belt width for USPSA. Come to Shongun and shoot a match with us.

Cherry Ridge improvements
I think Cherry Ridge is at its best right now. The safety officers are firm but polite. I usually shoot Sunday mornings and there are a few regulars I usually see there and everyone seems real nice (especially when they let me have their brass). A roof over the shooting positions at the rimfire range would be nice.

Obama to do Gun Control by Executive Order
How about the "One Box A Month" law. After all, who needs more than 50 bullets a month.
-
New range in West Paterson/Woodland Park?
I checked on my handgun permits for Parsippany. The officer said there were about 40 people ahead of me and I applied around the third week of May. Now Obama announces he wants “common sense” gun control. His election (more like a coronation) caused gun ownership to skyrocket. I see another spike on the horizon. I don’t know if you guys are smart or lucky but your timing could not have been better if you paid off the Bamster.

White House Plans to Release New Gun Safety Measures ‘in the Near Future’
The President has assured us they will only be "common sense" laws. What could possibly go wrong?

Non-resident ccw question
Pay the fee, let Anthony handle the paper work, get permit, be happy. I know someone that went to a firm that does finger printing for licenses and FL would not accept the finger print card. I has to be done by a police department and most in NJ don't do them.

Non-resident ccw question
Shongum is running the Basic Pistol this Saturday. I got my FL non-resident CCW with the certificate from this class. Go to Gun For Hire for your finger prints. The Anthony fills everything out for you and he has the police stamp you need for the finger print card. The fee is cheap and well worth it.
