It feels very useless... but I'm 1701 I sent a letter to Lautenberg about his proposed legislation about restricting guns in airports. I did this back in January. Last night I got an email response back.

When did CMP get told that they were not allowed to ship to NJ anymore? Shit, that was going to be my next purchase.

Should they really call themselves the NRA? Confuses the hell out of google searches. http://www.restaurant.org/

Ruger LCR in 327MAG would be pretty cool.

but it's got a freakin laser!

This is the 22 I own: tell me it is not tacticool...

I just saw this on the http://www.anjrpc.org/ website. The address for the club is in my home town. I called the contact number and I will be getting an application in the mail. I was curious if any other board members are members of this club?

@remingtonman1108 You live in south Brunswick and travel to a range in west deptford? That is an hour commute, one way, to go shooting. Perhaps you have moved recently and did not update your NJGF profile? I will reiterate my post from page 1 of this topic. The place is a ripoff. I don't want to be nickel and dimed for each paper target I shoot. The firing line in south philly is a much better choice. They will supply basic NRA targets for free and membership is 100 per year (80 to renew as I just found out).

Sorry, he is on a ship. bulpup, what size towel do you have? Small: 10" x 20"; Medium: 20" x 40"; Large: 30" x 50"; X-Large: 35" x 62"

It is my understanding that if you own a truck/SUV the firearm OR the ammo needs to be locked up. So when I go to the range I lock the slide back and use that stupid lock that comes with every handgun to secure my firearm. The ammo is then transported in their boxes.

Atkins Accelerator! Holy crap. That thing looked awesome.

I really like the razor blade suggestion and baby wipes. My aunt told me last night that he is going to be stationed on a boat so I'm guessing that baby wipes might not be the most useful item. Since he is on a boat he is also restricted as to what he can bring with him. But thank you everyone for the great suggestions. I might need to go buy that Leatherman MUT for myself...

changed it to corps. Dumb move on my part. That is what I get... i should be working. I was thinking about a good knife. I don't know where he is getting deployed so perhaps I will wait and send him a nice care pack from home once he gets over there.

My cousin is getting promoted to 1st LT in the marine corps and getting deployed this summer. His family is having a BBQ in his honor. The invite says, "no gifts please" but come on... There has got to be something this marine could use while deployed. Short of lending him my Glock, what would you get for a soon to be deployed marine?

I will be there. This will be my second year competing. Last year I won the random new member drawing. I won a free Glock! Signing up for more than one class is a good idea if you can afford to use the ammo. Each class requires roughly 150 rounds of ammo. I shot in the amateur civ class last year and this year I am adding the Amateur comp class. A lot of the veterans use the comp class to get the jitters out so that they do better in whatever other classes they are shooting in that day. Also, there will be a training area setup where you can practice on the three courses of fire. I think the range members set this up so they can make a little extra cash. I think I paid 5 bucks for three runs at the plates.

I had an issue with this a while ago. I pursued it to the point where I got a phone call from a senior VP of product sales. After talking with this gentleman, I can no longer argue against Cabela's policy. They are claiming that loose primers are considered an "explosive" and are therefore not allowed to be shipped to NJ residents. After rereading the NJ state laws, Cabela's is technically correct. It is all about the hazmat fees. I don't agree with them, but I see their POV.

I bought my first gun there. A glock 19. The range is beautiful and well ventilated. I felt the high pressure sales pitch because the saleman knew I had a second PP. So it turns out that the front night sight on my glock was smashed and no glowing. I brought it back to Hagues the day after I bought it and they told me all they could do was send the slide to Glock. I feel like they should have replaced the front sight for me for free. Thinking back on it I feel like the glock box was not opened in front of me. That got me thinking. I buy all my guns know from Paul and arms and ammo As for a range, how long does it take the OP to get over the walt whitman bridge? The Firing Line 1532 S Front St Philadelphia, PA 19147-5518 (215) 336-1710 charges 100 a year for membership and while you must buy your ammo (18.75 for 9mm) from them there is no charge for basic targets. Non members pay a flat fee of 15 bucks to get on the range. No time limit. It is not a pretty as hagues but after the way hagues treated me with my first gun purchase I don't think I will go back there.

well I give up. I thought I might have some support from the members of the glocktalk reloading forum (at least from the NJGF forum members) but I was really wrong. I hope that reloading or even owning ammo will soon be illegal or too expensive and then we can own all the guns we want with no access to ammo. States like NJ and CA are warning lights in the 2nd amendment struggle. Sure it may be OK to give up on a few states but that is a slippery slope. How many states are OK to give up on? Frankly I am really surprised that so many gun owners from other states would turn their backs on another gun owner. Moral of the story: keep reloading in the basement, keep your mouth shut and buy primers and ammo from anyone that is willing to do business with you.

Paul, I saw that on Glocktalk. Thanks for the support.

ronoverdrive you are wrong. Jeff at Cabela's told me that they would reconsider the policy if enough people contacted them. Who is the Sheeple now? don't assume that you can not change the system.

if they choose not to ship to NJ then isn't it their fault? No one is forcing them to stop shipments. (yet) I would have thought that others in NJ might feel the same way I do about this. It's just me being weird then I guess. I am angry at the state as well and I am doing other things to try and change things from that angle. Moving to another state is not an option. It does not take any extra effort on the part of Cabela's to ship primers to NJ. There is no extra paperwork and no extra laws in place to stop them. This is the point that I think people are missing.

nitrospaz9 can you explain? He got lucky with you?

http://glocktalk.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1101249 I'm getting beat up pretty bad. I guess I should have expected it. NJ gets a bad wrap no matter what the topic is.

I called Jeff back about 30 minutes ago and he is going to have someone with more details on this situation call me later this afternoon. He reiterateed that this was a policy and not a legal compliance. It would be really helpful if others called Jeff and voiced their opinion. Perhaps something like, "Jeff, I buy a lot of items from Cabela's over the course of the year but if this policy stays in place I will get my gear from another retailer. Please reconsider. thank you" Be civil and polite. let's see where it gets us.

DJ the problem was all mine. Yes I am fired up about this. I just got into reloading. I spent a lot of money for my setup with the hope that once primers became in stock items online that I could buy 5000 or so and keep cranking out my own ammo. I shop at cabela's a lot. The hamburg PA store is like disneyworld for me. These are the reasons I am fired up. I like cabela's but if they do not care about me as a consumer then I do not want to ever give them money again. Howell is about an hour from where I live. I will check them out but I am spoiled with the ability to have everything I need shipped to my door.
