Ladyfire

My dad started by showing us his rifles when he would clean them...He would show us how to disassemble, clean oil and let us help him all while talking about safety. This way we would handle them and get that part out of our system. I think he started us at the range when we were about 10 or so...I don't remember shooting the pistols till I was very comfortable with the rifles...

http://www.state.nj.us/governor/news/news/552012/approved/20121103d.html Press Contact: Michael Drewniak Kevin Roberts 609-777-2600 Christie Administration Announces E-Mail and Fax Voting Available to New Jerseyans Displaced by Hurricane Sandy Already Available to Military and Overseas Voters, State Opens Electronic Voting System to Make Voting More Accessible to Citizens Displaced by Hurricane Sandy and First Responders Assisting in Recovery Efforts Trenton, NJ – The New Jersey Department of State has issued a directive today to county elections officials to permit New Jersey registered voters displaced by Hurricane Sandy to vote electronically. This directive also is intended to assist displaced first responders, whose tireless recovery efforts away from home has made voting a challenge. “This has been an extraordinary storm that has created unthinkable destruction across our state and we know many people have questions about how and where to cast their vote in Tuesday’s election. To help alleviate pressure on polling places, we encourage voters to either use electronic voting or the extended hours at county offices to cast their vote,” said Lt. Governor Kim Guadagno. “Despite the widespread damage Hurricane Sandy has caused, New Jersey is committed to working through the enormous obstacles before us to hold an open and transparent election befitting our state and the resiliency of its citizens.” To vote electronically, displaced voters may submit a mail-in ballot application either by e-mail or fax to their county clerk. Once an application is approved, the clerk will electronically send a ballot to the voter by either fax or e-mail in accordance to the voter’s preference. Voters must return their electronic ballot – by fax or email – no later than November 6, 2012, at 8 p.m. Voters can download a mail-in ballot application for their county by visiting http://nj.gov/state/elections/voting-information-vote-by-mail.html. A list of county clerk websites, phone numbers and fax numbers are available by visiting http://nj.gov/state/elections/voting-information-local-officials.html. Separate directives issued today enable displaced voters and first responders to vote by provisional ballot at a polling place in a county other than the voter’s county of registration. The deadline for county clerks to receive mail-in ballots has been extended to November 19, 2012, for any ballot postmarked on or before November 5, 2012. Mail-in ballots post marked later than November 5 will not be accepted. County elections officials have also been directed to print a sufficient number of provisional and emergency ballots to accommodate voters. Voters are encouraged to take advantage of extended office hours at county elections offices to cast their vote early and in-person. Registered voters can obtain and cast their ballot in-person at their county elections office up until 3 pm Tuesday. County election offices are to remain open, at a minimum, from 8:30 am to 4:30 pm throughout the weekend, until November 5. Voters that have a mail-in ballot and choose to deliver their ballot to the county elections office in person must present their completed ballot to their county elections office no later than the close of polls on Tuesday. Information is also available by calling 1-877-NJVOTER.

Good luck bdomar....

Thoughts and prayers to you and your family Anthony...

Glad he did not take pictures of the bathroom

Everyday day is one day closer to a recovery. I keep saying that over and over and over...

I stay home....

I manage an apartment building...

Got a call today everything ready. Filed 3/11..Called 2x and was extremely polite (as always) to the Lt.

The nice Lt. just called today and said my FID and all was ready. I filed 3/11

Welcome!

Ok....so to drift back to the thread question a little more background on me. I took the 3 hr pistol course (beretta 9mm semi used), a few misfires with this so I thought it stunk had a heck of a time locking this because of grip size) Ladies Day at guns for hire (semi 22 don't remember the make but just fired it did not load etc) My dad is a S&W guy so 357 revolver and 22 rifles when I was much younger. But have not gone shooting in close to 30 years, So now please remember I am a single mom and costs are a huge factor. I know you get what you pay for but I also know to zone in on what is important to "me" then make a decision. (AKA I buy used cars to get me from point a to b and are good vehicles but don't have all the bells and whistles)I may not need the Most expensive as a first firearm. But I do need economical, comfortable for me, good for home protection (my overriding want for a first firearm) and cost effective ammo cost so I can use often at the range.... So I understand 22 is great for economical ammo but maybe not great for home protection if I ever need to use it 9mm just ok for home protection and still pretty reasonable for ammo Now you all will probably laugh but when I research the glock 17 and glock 19 see some positives to costs, misfires etc but not "sexy" My dad says little lady just get a nice S&W 38 revolver (ahem...but costs) So if you all have time for further thoughts on above....and I do plan to attend the Cherry Hill...I asked someone at the Bullet Hole if I could rent before I buy and they said no. I am absolutely aware I need to try it before I buy so. So your further thoughts....

Submitted 3/11 and still waiting. Called twice....Says State is backed up....

According to Gunsforhire we don't have the castle doctrine in NJ

All right so following up...22 for first gun your preference?? revolver or semi S&W/Ruger or ....doesn't really make a difference This is a questions from a complete novice..

Thanks for the warm welcome all and NJ-Tom thanks for the info...

Hi Everyone, Just found this forum today and looking to learn much from all. Waiting for FID but doing research for my first pistol. Went to the Bullet Hole for Ladies Day so had an opportunity to see the bullet hole and meet Anthony/Gunforhire.

I just got my membership card and decal in the mail
