Yeah that's good and all, but... should I get the NRA involved on this? I'm worried the police may turn around deny me my FID for doing so out of spite.

So tomorrow it will be 6 weeks exactly since I applied for my FID and handgun permit. During this time not once, but on BOTH references they tried claiming the addresses for my references were bad. First one they claimed didn't exist even though, BY ADDRESS, I can bring up the house on Google Maps' satellite view and I made them resend it. Sure enough he got it. The other one they tried claiming the zip code was wrong even though I verified on the UNITED STATES POSTAL SERVICE's website it was in fact correct. The letter they sent me on the second one also included the envelope that was supposedly returned to them. Being the son of a 2nd generation postal employee I know how the post office does things with returns and this envelope did NOT go through the post office. The postage is suppose to be invalidated with a stamp and instead on the bottom of the envelope it had a sticker that looked like it was run through a cheap label printer that said "return to sender." I made them resend it and sure enough he got it. Both friends came over my house and handed to me their envelopes with postage and everything. I delivered them to the public mailbox myself to ensure it got sent. Now I was out all last week on a business trip to SoCal so I pretty much gave them an extra week. Get home last night, checked my mail and no letter. I tried calling twice today and got dropped to a voicemail each time. The police sure seem to be willing to take my money and push me through their process, but not willing what so ever to do their f*cking end of the process. It really feels like my 2A Rights are being dicked around with and I'm not happy in the least. I tried looking for the local NRA office, but out off all of the numbers listed on anjrpc.org I'm not sure who is appropriate to call or if I should call at all because I'm worried they might deny me my FID out of spite for getting the NRA involved.

Most likely a little of column A and a little of column B. Honestly Gus had to do what he had to do even if he didn't want to do it. Lets face it, very few of us actually want to shoot and kill someone. When you're left with no choice, but to fight back and they're armed you gotta do what you gotta do.

I enjoy my T-Mobile G1. There are also other Android OS phones out there that are pretty good. Its an easy to use linux OS instead of WinMo and imo much better then the iPhone.

I must be lucky to be in the better half then!

Yeah there are turret loaders which is what most people push noobs to get because they're much faster. They're also much more expensive running $200 - $400 a press depending on the brand and style. Personally I suggest getting what fits your budget and space restrictions. If you have the space, but not much money you can get a setup like the OP's. If you have the money and not much space or want really fast reloads get the more expensive turret press. Personally I don't have much space and I don't have the money for a turrent press so I may end up getting an inexpensive hand press to get me started.

The goggles are a webcam with a IR-LED matrix wrapped around it. It's EXTREMELY cheaply made and you're better off getting a real professional Nightvision setup.

So in other words its designed to shoot dirty.

question, with the ATI stock is it easier to tear down for cleaning? I noticed that in stock form its tedious to take apart.

Agreed, though I never got a confirmation via email or anything so I dunno what my status is. :?

I bet they're not calling that guy a sissy for using two hand anymore! Honestly I can't find anything on the Raging Hornet which is something I would love to have. Its the baby version of the Raging Bull that fires .22 Hornet rounds.

Those are some huge @$$ flip flops that's for sure. Looked like they didn't even fit his feet.

The restrictions I was given at Woodbridge is that they have to NJ residents and they weren't allowed to be local PD.

I don't see it being a problem, but just to be on the safe side put it in your trunk and don't do anything stupid to get pulled over.

It's just past the 30 day mark. Still haven't heard anything yet, maybe the letter will be there when I get home. Right now because of my business trip to SoCal next week I'm in no rush since I won't be able to purchase anything till I get back and reimbursed for any business lunches. If its not in yet when I get back on the 17th I'm going to give them a call to see what the hold up is because then it will be on the 6th week. If anything the wait has given me plenty of time to decide on what to get.

Sorry meant to say DE, Delaware.

Only shotgun ammo as far as I know. All pistol ammo requires an FID. Of course that's if you're buying in NJ. Ordering online it depends on the site's policies towards NJ, but for the most part they don't care. You also have the option of going to PA or DA to buy ammo.

Part of the Disadvantages you listed is quality related. A good CCI Stinger hollow point will cause more damage and is more reliable then cheap Federal bulk packs you use for plinking or range time. But the only big disadvantage I can think of is survivability rate. Someone is more likely to survive a shot from a 22 then from the larger calibers. While some may say that's a good thing, just remember if they survive when the police arrive there's now 2 stories instead of 1 leaving you wide open for law suits and possibly jail time yourself for "using excessive force." Its the risk you take when using a gun in self defense against someone in your home. If you don't want to kill them, have the first round a blank as a warning shot so they take you seriously and give up/run. Personally while it may not be the best choice for home defense, a good pump action shotgun has a good psychological effect against people who break into your home and a good buckshot will make sure it hits your target without worrying too much about your accuracy. Hell if you really want a pistol get yourself a Judge and some .410 buck! :mrgreen:

Considering how many countries in this world hate us for various reasons can you really blame them?

Yeah makes me wonder if I'm better off reloading, getting a 22lr conversion kit, or both. Stop stressing about what will come first... eventually, you will do it all. =) I want it all anyway, its just a matter of what to do first. :mrgreen:

Move back! I second that suggestion Heh, trust me if he had the choice he wouldn't have moved.

Nice subies for the win! :mrgreen: Sadly I haven't done any motor sports with my car yet, tuning them can get quite expensive and I'm waiting for my car to fall out of warranty before I go crazy. Personally I like Auto-X and Rally. Got a 2008 Subaru Impreza 2.5i. Right now the only mod is the 08 WRX cat-back swap, but i'm hoping to do some suspension work (rims, tires, springs, sway bars, and strut bars) and light engine work (ecu retune, lightened crank pulley, intake).
