I don't remember seeing a law stating the firearm had to be in a locked case while transporting from a store/range to your car. I walk to my car all the time from the range with my guns unloaded in a pistol rug in an unlocked range bag. Once I get to the car, I lock my guns in the range bag with the ammo in a seperate container. I've bought new guns and had them tape the box closed because I didn't have a lock with me.

These are the only fees I paid when getting permits. I haven't been fingerprinted for additional pistol permits. The last pistol a friend of mine bought was 20 years ago. He just recently applied for a pistol permit and was not fingerprinted even after the 20 year time span. You already have your FID - correct?

Sweet Shooter! I need to add a 4" 1911.

I used the Firearm Price Request through the Forum. I received an email from The Bullethole quoting the price, which was high to begin with. The price marked on the gun was higher than quoted. Now I know they don't give a discount to forum members since the last pistol I purchased from them last month was marked exactly as quoted. I showed the person helping me the email I received and explained I used the firearm request form and that was what was sent to me as a price. I got "I don't know anything about that". Fine so now I'm paying even more than too much for this gun. After filling out the forms and doing the NICS check it's time to wrap this up. Problem is the case is nowhere to be found. Checked the shelves, the safe, under the counter, and everywhere else possible with no luck. After about an hour of this and listening to how the day shift guys f***ed it up the case has not been located. All the while I'm watching people come in and realizing I'm now not getting a port. The P2P was already written up so I had to either sit and wait or blow the permit. It's now an hour after I arrived and I have a gun with no mags, case, instructions, etc. He pulls another gun out of the case and grabs the case for that and changes the serial on my P2P(You couldn't have done that 45 minutes ago???). The whole time I sat there quietly being patient. After all this he says "Okay Chris all set." and he rings me up. Not "Hey sorry about that" or "I knocked 50 bucks off since you had to wait" or even an Eff'n "Thank you". I was so angry I didn't know what to say. I have purchased 3 handguns from the Bullethole and that will be my last. I suggest if you choose to do business with them you make sure they have everything before you fill out any paperwork so you don't have your time wasted like mine was. Wow - Chris that sucks. I would try to straighten this out with Bullet Hole. The whole point of the firearms request is to know exactly what you're getting and paying for it. It would have been a nice jester to give you range time or ammo for your inconvenience. Post your experience in the Bullet hole forum - they should reimburse you for the difference in price.

Maybe she was out getting some action at the local bar and he got pissed?

Yes - the P226 Elite Stainless is sweet!! Ray, if I was you, I would learn to shoot righty and get one of these. Then I could shoot it.

Congratulations! - enjoy your life in a free state.

Nice job JD. Looking forward to pics when it's done.

It's always busier in the morning hours unless they have some type of match.

Sweet Shooter!

I'll be there a little earlier since I have a permit to use. Looks like it's going to be a packed house. Yea Chris - what are you picking up? One of the H&K's? I should be able to make it. Hey Ray - is it rifle night?

I have never been asked the question or knew anyone that did. But, if it did happen... If I know and trust the person, I would say yes. Most people that I know are interested in learning about them. If someone stops by and isn't familiar with handling a real gun, I usually take a couple out and give some safety instruction. If I don't know the person, it's none of their business. I don't want anyone I don't know what I have in my house even if it means offending them.

I would get the largest you can afford. You may not think you need it, but they fill up quite fast. You can always put ammo in the extra space. A larger, heavier safe is more difficult to steal. When you install it, bolt it to the ground and in a spot where its difficult to get pry bars on it.

If there is no arrest record and nothing is sent to NJSP, you should be OK. It sounds like it is something like going to court for a traffic ticket. The problem is when something turns up in a background check and you answer "no" on the form. If you have an arrest and found not guilty, it still shows up in a background check. The key is "if there was an arrest" with a court disposition that gets sent to NJSP. You can request a copy of your record from the state police and see if it comes back clean, but that takes a couple of weeks to get once the form is sent in to them. BTW - this is all done electronically now. Good Luck!

Stock piling food doesn't work well in my house. I wind up eating it. Yummmmm..

I've shot my WASR10's at Bullet Hole and CR no problem. I've seen converted Saiga's at BH no problem. You can also shoot the Wolf stell cased ammo at both places in these type guns.

That sounds like something a Community Organizer would do. Is Matt bringing a hotdog cart next time? Great time yesterday - beutiful weather! Nice meeting you Dave. Chris - I have a GP100 that I'll bring next time. It has a nice double action pull, the model 10-6 that I brought has a very heavy pull. The .22 range sure is a lot of fun. To bad my Marlin 981T is broke. You guys would have liked shooting it. It's out for repair, but I should have it next time.

I shot Ray Ray's in 38 SP. It certainly does kick! 357 mag must kick like a mule!

That is one sweet-asss shootin-iron!

My gear ain't packed but I'm shooting for 9:00 - no pun intended.

As far as I know, I should be able to make it for the morning. I plan on arriving around 8:30 to 9:00.

It's a shame you have no right to protect your property. You need to wait for the perp to enter your home first and you'll probably still be sued by the scumbag. I"d like to see the stats from a state that allows you to protect your property or yourself outside of your dwelling. How many pedestrians have been injured by stray fire. I mean cases where a perp was fired upon outside of the house on the property during a robbery or self defense.

Just what the world needs, more people driving, talking and now trying to read a GPS at the same time. Add a Ham Sandwich and coffee into the mix and you will be ready for the Turnpike. Tim - that almost made me spit my coffee out. I drove the Turnpike from exit 10 to 4a for a couple of years to a job. Worse than the people on cell phones were the truck drivers doing 80 to 90 mph. I was almost killed by an idiot truck driver. No offense to safe truck drivers here, but there are a lot of winners on the road. OK - back on topic....

Congratulations - I find reloading almost as much fun as shooting. Just don't take my brass!
