LOL +1

Yes, you can shoot the same day...bring your toys!!! The registration process took me less then 2 mins. Just fill out a card with your name and address, and get $60.00 out of your wallet.....Done! EDIT: No, unfortunately there is no online application. Actually there is not an offline application either!

I couldn't keep up with them now if my life depended on it! I tried vacuuming a few months ago for about 10 mins and I almost threw a clot! I give them credit....they do it for 10 hrs a day....900-1000 cars / day, I'm out of breath just thinking about it. I really have to start getting back in shape...maybe I will start tomorrow with working out my trigger finger!!!! :mrgreen:

+1 .... it takes just as long now-a-days to simply change an address on a FID then it does to apply for an initial one. I'd wait the 4 months till after the move.

haha this was a quite a few years back....calmed down quite a bit now, and gained about 40 lbs, fat and lazy is where its at!

Yes, I got the $19.99 / 525 rounds. It seems to be okay, never shot it before. Hopefully I will see how it does tomorrow if I have time to go to Dix. I feel the same way about taking it all...even if I leave one box on the shelf it makes me feel better lol. The guys behind the counter told me it will probably go FAST so get there as soon as you can. There were 3 other people buying some while I was there, I dont know how much they purchased tho. Good Luck!

That's the better one of the bunch, and I swear it has nothing to do with the fact that it's 5 min from my house :roll: lol...its okay to be partial as long as its not the competition you are partial to!!!!

Well, hopefully it will go quick for you. I've heard some horror stories lately of it taking quite a while (as I'm sure you are already well aware). I think it all depends on where you live. I know somewhere on this board there is a member who actually recieved their FID card in the legally allowed* 30 day time period. That rarely happens. Realistically it could be much longer (60-90 days). I know....it sucks. Keep your fingers crossed. * 2C:58-3(f). Purchase of firearms "...the licensing authority who shall investigate the same and, unless good cause for the denial thereof appears, shall grant the permit or the identification card, or both, if application has been made therefor, within 30 days from the date of receipt of the application for residents of this State and within 45 days for nonresident applicants. A permit to purchase a handgun shall be valid for a period of 90 days from the date of issuance and may be renewed by the issuing authority for good cause for an additional 90 days.

I see...I THINK the NJSP just report back to the investigating officer (firearms officer @ your local PD) their findings, I don't think NJSP makes the call. The printing is just for crimes that you were arrested and finger printed for. Any other local "dealings" with the police are made by the officer you applied with by calling or mailling the PD's you formerly resided in, hence the listing of your previous addresses for the past 5 years. The will check if you are "in" the CAD (computer aided dispatch). How long ago did you apply?

Richie...did you ride with leigon??? I am friends with Jim "Mad" Mason, I used to ride with Mike Soy and all those guys. I used to stunt 50's too. Had a 929 & a 954. Sold everything but the quads and got into boats.

IF your criminal history check and mental health records come back clean, it is supposed lie in the hands of the chief of police in the town where you reside. More realistically it will probably be the detective who interviews you (if you even get interviewed) who makes the call. The OIC in most departments will allow the firearms officer to make the decision. Why?

They have MUCH more in the back!!! I asked them if they had more because I wanted to buy a few boxes, but I did not want to be "that guy" who wiped them out. He pointed to the back room area where I saw about 30 cases! So that convinced me to get a case of my own! I got the federal champion copper plated 36 grain HP's. Like Max said....very nice place, nice selection of items. Nice guys behind the counter. Oh, and it ended up taking me 45 mins to go 14 miles.

Good idea max! I'll bet its much cheaper there! PS, I've always wanted to go!!!

Actually all the locations are called 33 East (except one)... I like confusing people. Originally I had just Freehold and Old Bridge (33 East and C. Bentley's). The marlboro location was owned by someone else and was a dump. Many customers were coming to the Freehold location that lived in Marlboro. The Marlboro location went up for sale and I bought it. I named it the same as the freehold location so the marlboro residents would recognize that it was the same operation as where they were used to going. Also, I didn't want a new guy coming in their and buying the marlboro location and making a nice place that would take alot of customers away from Freehold. Bla Bla Bla, I'm sure none of you give a hoot about this! lol ANYWAY....now there is 33 East of Freehold, 33 East of Marlboro, 33 East of Ocean, and C. Bentley's Confused??? Me too!

See what happens when you take a day off?? You get into trouble!!!!!

WOW...thats bad @$$!!! Big cha ching too!

Tell me about it, i'm actually leaving from Old Bridge...30 mins was just a guestimate....more realistically 4 hrs. I've never been to this store....never even heard of it! As per their website they've been around a long time. I guess I live in a bubble.

WooooHooooo!!!! I feel like a crack addict that is about to score! lol...I'm leaving around 5:30ish...be there around 6. I will give that federal stuff a try. I had a horrible time shooting that winchester expert stuff, every 3 or 4 rounds would jam or FTF. Anyone else need anything while I'm there?

Chad, you are getting a bill for this ad. the second picture looks like a car wash in Hackensak that i used. HAHA you caught that little plug I did huh?? Can't beat free advertising! :mrgreen: lol The second pic is the Marlboro Location in Monmouth County.

Owner / Operator of 4 Car Washes in Monmouth and Middlesex Counties.

WOW....now I'm extremely jealous!!!! Except for the heat....but the gun laws there are great!!! It must be a pretty weird concept for you....yanno, actually being able to defend yourself! Straaaaaange stuff going on down there! lol

Sorry...double post

Former huh?? I envy you. Off to the promise land???

Thanks Jeff! And welcome to NJGF!!!!

I saw a post about njgf in a different forum. .0003 seconds I thought it was great that we have a forum dedicated to *our* state. And all of us share the same frustrations by the laws here. Local people talking about local things, for me it doesn't get much better then that. This is a great place, LOTS to learn, lurkers should def. join!
