Your permits smell??

They sent out an e-mail stating all inventory is moving to new Pennsauken location. ETA: just read the whole thread - and you guys have it covered.

Reviews? anyone? Bueller?

A few points of interest to add: Since you are new to firearms, you are corect that your precautions and hesitations to loaded firearms in the house should diminish over time. While I am very much against carrying outside your home without a round chambered, I feel that carrying INSIDE your home without a round chambered is a completely logical compromise if safety around children is a concern. That being said - I still have a round in the chamber. Your house is also man made, and your roof could collapse. While a dramatic example, a firearm is no more dangerous acting on it's own then any other appliance or tool, staple gun, microwave, hammer, etc. Depending on the age of your children: teach them proper handling (or NO handling at all without you being present), and show them to your children should they ask. Taking away the mystery and mystic of firearms will help reduce the chance of them attempting to view them without your permission. $0.02

Not to derail this further - but please stop. The amount of misinformation you are spreading around as advice or fact is ridiculous.

Incorrect. Round in chamber = gun is loaded. There is nothing unsafe about a loaded weapon, as long as safe and proper handling of the weapon is practiced. Ex. LEO/CCW's with rounds chambered and weapon holstered walking around in public are not unsafe. That being said, I didn't watch the episode, but I chose to comment anyway. $0.02

My condolences to you and your family.

Congrats! Your doomed like the rest of us

Very nice rifle!! HA. Where's BA with the blow torch?

Re-read my post. It was already explained in detail. At no point did I say or mention to take away the right to carry by retired LEO's. What I DID say, was the justification behind assigning that right is flawed. ETA: A criminal is a criminal - their first action was not assaulting a retired LEO, their first action was assaulting/robbing/car jacking/mudering/raping/stabbing an unarmed, easy target, in the state of NJ. Whether he is seeking revenge on retired LEO, or attempting to rape a 20yo female, I'd say the odds of either action taking place would be similiar. What if the 20yo was the daughter of a retired LEO? Shouldn't she have the same rights as her father to protect herself? My point is not about jealousy, it's about equality.

I think this needed to be said once more.

For the most part everyone here is trying to be civil, and you respond to a differing opinion by sounding like a 16 year old? What you good sirs fail to see is that we are not "jealous", or "envious" of your chosen profession and the inherent rights that come with it while you perform your duties on and off duty. The original point of this thread was that when you retire.... how are your 2nd Amendment Rights more important than my retired father's, or my widow next door neighbor, or mine? ETA: Please do not take that as a strike against LEO's, because its not. It's a strike against a failed system that we need support with, especially in this state, and especially from the Law Enforcement Community.

Am I the only who would care less if they took possesion of my firearm, after an incident where I had to discharge it in my home to protet myself or my family? Assuming it was a righteous shoot, my family was unharmed, and I was still breathing - take it as part of your investigation (just give me a receipt). Similar to how any possesion in my home is not worth dieing for and completely replaceable, so are my firearms, I do not have an emotional attachement to them - they are all tools, they are all S/N 100k of 100,000k's, and all replaceable.

Hornandy 55gr TAP FPD has always seemed like a good choice. Shoots well out of my 14.5, has "Propellants that are engineered to protect your night vision by minimizing muzzle flash.", and has been recommended as a good choice for HD by a few different trainers. But if you had to shoot inside your home with an AR you will easily penetrate 2-3 walls worth of drywall regardless of ammo selection. It boils down to a personal compromise between using the best stopping round vs. the least over penatrating (and all options in-between). Stated simply, the hard truth is that if over penetration is your primary concern - Don't miss. Edited for clarity.

Croatia for the win!

The longer Ace stock (the one you have) uses a rifle buffer - so that's fine. What ammo were you trying to shoot through it? Would the round extract & eject when you racked the charging handle? Was the rim of the casings stripped/scratched where the extractor was grabbing on o the lip?

Finally Updated - Now 24 ranges and counting!! Thanks to RaycoArmory, vortex0178, and Gun Guy in NJ, for their contributions to the thread.

Whiskey Tango Foxtrot....

a HUGE +1 to the state of TN, if that document holds to be legit, and helps get this woman off the hook. She's a nurse going to medical school to be a doctor, who voluntarily asked where she could check in her firearm. She wasn't even attempting to hide it once she realized they were not allowed.

This was the "new" Pennsauken location? Jusy wanted to double check. Thanks!

What is your intended purpose of the rifle? High Power? Hunting? Carboard & Cans? Home Defense ? SHTF? S&G's? Your answer to that question, combined with your budget will help you narrow it down to something simple that fulfills your needs.

I must be missing something here, or I'm reading way too much into some of these posts (most likely the case). But the FPR is a free service... you aren't paying for it, you aren't commiting to anything, and all that's required is basically your name and what you're looking for. It's going to do the leg work for you by broadcasting your needs to the few quality/reputable/fair firearms vendors and FFL's in this state. What's not to love? Why would you not use it as a resource? What could you possibly lose from having the forum vendors quote you directly? And I agree with Paul - if I sent a request everyday for 2 weeks straight with a different rifle or pistol, eventually I would just ignore me too. Because that is flat out abusing a Free service...

While I can see your point about filling out a form on the internet that asks for some personal information, I would argue the "best price" comment. I've used the Firearms Price request feature more than a few times, and each time it has provided me with multiple quotes from NJ vendors, and almost always it will be a better price than an online retailer after you factor in FFL fee's, shipping, tax, etc.
