From what I've been hearing finding an independent mover that is actually reputable and won't charge you an arm and a leg is next to impossible. Unfortunately, between hiring a moving company that'll be 1,500 to 2,000 dollars plus 500 for new tires for the Pontiac, that's going to put me in a severe hole to get my stuff moved. At that point it almost might be better to cut my losses and leave everything here and fly down lol. Jon I thought about that, but it's 1200 miles and 19 hours of driving. I don't think anyone has a friend good enough that wants to do that drive back home by themself.

As mostly everyone knows in the very near future I will be leaving this fine state to move to Florida. Unfortunately the problem of getting my stuff from NJ to Florida is turning into a bigger hassle / ordeal than I thought it would be. I've thought of a bunch of options and still not sure what the best option is so here's what I got. I currently own a 2007 Pontiac G6 with a 100k miles on. Lets say the car has no value because I still owe my mom money on it so whatever I sell it for just goes to her lets say. If I keep it, at the minimum it needs new summer tires because all it has on it now is winter tires, so that'll be about 500 dollars to put new tires on it. What I'm looking to take to Florida with me. Gun safe with guns Reloading bench which is 8ft long by 2 ft deep by about 4 ft high, with two presses, 200 pounds of bullets, probably another 200-300 pounds in ammo, along with an ammo locker, bunch of primers and other assorted reloading equipment etc. My queen sized mattress with box spring and frame (no headboard or footboard) A closet full of clothes (2) bicycles, road bike and mountain bike (2) 40+ inch long rc boats An some other assorted things that you'll always have. Oh two desktop computers as well but no computer desk. Lastly I own a 16ft long sailboat that is on a single axle trailer. The hope is to possibly take this with me because I don't think I could sell it at the moment with it not being finished. I first started with looking up moving companies. I started getting quotes of 800 dollars which isn't bad until you really start paying attention and for a (1) bedroom studio they are giving you 200 ct. ft of space. This is literally no space at all. I figure if I have a moving company move all my stuff minus the sailboat I'm looking at a minimum of 1,500 dollars if not closer to the 2k mark. Next I looked up u-haul and the likes. U-haul for a 10ft truck gets 1,400 dollars for the truck, plus you need to put gas in it. On top of that, what do I do with my car. Next I thought about selling my car, and buying a diesel pickup truck because once I get to Florida and settled I eventually want to get one so I figured why not get it now. Prices are between 13k and 16k dollars it seems. With this option I can tow my sailboat and load all the stuff between the sailboat and the bed of the truck and have no problems there. Last option I thought of was buying a small 4x8 utility trailer, putting my gun safe, my reloading bench and my bed and other things on the trailer and trailering down. My car has a 1k pound towing recommendation so I would be pushing that limit / probably over it since the safe alone weighs 600 pounds. I thought about selling the safe, selling the reloading bench, and loading as much as I could into the G6 and making the trip. But by the time I replace the safe and the bench and the bed etc, I might as well just paid someone to move my stuff and I'd be in the same boat. Looking for some opinions, I've been going back and forth with this for a while and just completely unsure of what to do. At the current moment I have my current job here in NJ which pays my bills just fine. I don't expect to be getting a job for less than what I make her in NJ so technically my income won't change. Once I move to Florida I will have about 500 dollars of living expenses added to my current situation. Thanks for the insight, and if anyone has used a certain moving company before and had good results please please please give me their number so I can call them. Thanks!

You clearly have never seen Ray Ray shoot a shotgun.

I'm definitely going to have to get both of them in my hands. With the limited carrying that I've done with my 1911 CBOB which is a 4.25 slider with a bobbed grip it is extremely comfortable to carry. I'm still working out a good carry position, but overall I like it. Just curious what a shorter slide and frame would do for me. I already have a full size XD in .45 so that takes care of the HD for me. Thanks for the tips guys, I will have to check them out

Does glock make a double stack?

Just as the title says. Anyone have a sub compact glock in .45 acp that I could possibly run a few rounds through. I think this is going to be my first purchase when I make it to Florida, would like to test it out before I shoot it. M

yup HP's are illegal ammunition when used in conjuction of another crime. AKA carrying an illegal gun automatically makes carrying HP's illegal

Was I the only one hoping one of those guys was going to get the **** slapped out of him while sitting there

looks like it's been deleted??

Someone is going to have to carry on the torch this summer for me as I most definitely will not be here. One way or another I plan to be out of NJ no later than June so someone is going to have to take over for this summer and going on. We didn't do this much this past summer, I was burnt out, the meetups got too big and became too much work, and I had other things going on. I think if you guys rally the core group of gents, you'll have a beautiful day for sure. Don't forget to order some pizza!! I will definitely miss those Sundays after I move. Dammn good bunch of gentlemen we got on here.

They Cherry ridge and central Jersey, negative Ray Ray. Though you did handle the FT. Dix which from what I hear was a success. Oh god Ken, haven't heard that name in a while. Wonder what the old grouchy codger is up to these days.

They were all done when the real community orgainizer was around

West Milford tried to pull this bs with me too. I told them it got destroyed in the washing machine. The dumb lady asked me if i had the pieces to it, I said no I threw it out! friggin ridiculous these towns, I can not wait until I move out of this state, I'm going to shred that piece of crap into a thousand pieces and mail it to them

One doesn't have to rebuild the house, he could clear the property and sell the property. Or he could rebuild a house that's not so ugly, and possibly someone may buy it. But the better one is, burn house on purpose, get caught with child porn and go to jail. Now that's karma

Apparently the house is under foreclosure too according to Zillow.

ffl

uhhhh wtf no cmp?

Thursday is better for me

If it makes more sense to do it another night I'd be down for that if more people can make it.

oyyyy looks like it's gonna be me and mark LOL Tommy you out there?

Sounds good to me. Sounds like a small showing LOL

I've never been to the dining room / bar area and kind of prefer the walk up but that's just me. I don't have much time to sit down, I got a side job I gotta get to afterward but I should be good for at least 45 min or so. Tommy dizzle what time you getting there?

I'm thinking 7pm, gonna work a little late and then head down
