Any recommendations for a bedside handgun safe that doesn't suck?
Try opening yours sometime. Relying on concealment furniture means that the owner will have to make sure the kids are never, ever watching them take the firearm out. Talk about an attractive nuisance - you think once a kid sees some James Bond type hidden shelf they're going to leave that alone? I didn't say bedside safes suck. I said I wanted one that didn't suck, and gave examples of unacceptable suck-ness. Try slowing down and reading for comprehension.

Why is it taking so long to get FID and Pistol Purchase permits?
PD advised me today that permits are ready. Today is a little over 30 days from when the officer contacted me for the paystub in response to my certified letter. I believe the letter worked to get my permits moving.

3D printed dummy rounds
Printed with PLA? Yeah. But there's lots of other "printable" plastics with much higher temps before they get pliable.

3D printed dummy rounds
Huh, I've got a 3d Printer and never thought of printing snap caps. If they're made from PLA plastic (the 9mm auctions says they are), then you're likely going to see that they wear away quickly at any place where they touch sharp metal under pressure (magazine lips, extractor edge). PLA is not a very durable plastic. If there are extreme feed angles in your firearm then it's possible they could hang up on edges or crack under vigorous feeding. PLA also gets soft at relatively low temperatures, so don't use them in a hot firearm. Other than that, I don't see any issues with using them.

Your imagined use case is not the one I'm trying to solve.

Any recommendations for a bedside handgun safe that doesn't suck?
I don’t know, but both of the trivially defeated safes in the videos above are CA approved. To me, that means the CA DOJ approval is worthless.

Any recommendations for a bedside handgun safe that doesn't suck?
Looking to pickup a small "bedside" safe for a new handgun owner with children in the house. Something small enough to go under a bed/bedside table, ideally with a "4-finger" opening mechanism similar to the gunvault brand, but that isn't featured on the lockpicking lawyer's youtube channel being defeated with a magnet, paper clip, piece of foil or similar: What's out there that is *good quality* and can stand up to a teen with youtube access?

Brass casings vs other
Aside from the casings, bullet material matters too. Rough estimate - Steel/Bi-metal jacketed bullets wear out your barrel at least 40% faster than copper jacketed bullets:

How to approach a delay issuing FID by PD
Congrats. Not that he is obligated to, but did the Detective offer any reason for the multi-month delay?

Are 80% Lowere NJ legal?
I am once again referring you to my post summarizing a conversation I had with a lawyer from Nappen's office. NJ is actively prosecuting people who have manufactured firearms out of state and then brought them in state. Your interpretation of the statutes may be "correct", but chances are high that if your manufactured firearm comes to the attention of the NJ criminal justice system you will be prosecuted. I'm going to call again and see if any of the cases were settled or went to court and if there is any case law at this point.

Red Dot Sights for AR-15 - which one?
I have several different laser-projected red dot sights including an aimpoint. I'm *also* a fan of prismatic sights including the Vortex strikefire (I have a couple of them as well). Not sure what your criteria are, but take a look at prismatics too - especially if you have a degree of astigmatism.

Why is it taking so long to get FID and Pistol Purchase permits?
Preaching to the choir, @Bomber. I agree it shouldn't be relevant to the investigation and really only serves as a mild deterrent to applicants.
-
Why is it taking so long to get FID and Pistol Purchase permits?
That's a feature, not a bug, as far as NJ is concerned. I was working for an employer with a very anti-RKBA stance when I first applied for my FID, and I was sweating the employment verification then. I'm sure some people decide to forgo the whole thing based on that.
-
Why is it taking so long to get FID and Pistol Purchase permits?
They asked for a paystub in lieu of paying for an employment verification service on a prior application (with no letter) 2 years ago. Incorrectly stating your employment could be prosecuted as lying on the application if the PD or prosecutor decides to pursue it.

Why is it taking so long to get FID and Pistol Purchase permits?
Here's the "outline" of the letter I sent - Jay Factor authored this form letter originally, and he's heavily involved in NJ firearms law:
-
Why is it taking so long to get FID and Pistol Purchase permits?
Choosing not to fight this battle, but it's not uncommon for local PD to want to verify employment if you put an employer down on the app. My current employer contracts with a company that charges a fee to verify employment. The detective has no budget to pay an employment verification fee. Sending a paystub copy (with the pay/tax numbers redacted) was the most expedient way to get past this obstacle. 30 days from time of submission of the application on FARS - yeah, generally ignored. However 30 days once the *LOCAL* PD starts their investigation? Some courts are willing to make orders on based on that.

Why is it taking so long to get FID and Pistol Purchase permits?
I'm waiting on 2 pistol purchase permits I applied for in September. References and criminal background check completed the same week I submitted. Delay is all with my local PD. I've been taking action. Sent a certified letter to the Chief of Police in mid-January respectfully saying that I'm sure they have a lot to do, but the statute says 30 days and it's been 100+. That at least prompted a call from the Firearms detective who related "800+ applications, we're doing August's now, will do yours when we get to Septembers"; he also asked me to send a paystub to verify employment (I changed employers since September), so I know now that the 30 day "clock" has started because he's now investigating my application. I calculated out 30 days from the date he contacted me and I'm prepping a municipal court filing for the next day after 30 days if the permits aren't ready by then.

NJ Gun Laws strike again...
I don't agree with it, but I can understand their decision. If 5% of your sales has the potential to consume 25% of your legal budget...
