A friend of mine recently moved from PA to NJ and has a few rifles and a shotgun. Besides getting his FOID is there anything else he needs to do?

Watched all 3 videos, very nicely done. Also major props for recommending getting a book, though I couldn't make out the full title of the one you were showing off. A lot of reloading videos don't even mention something so basic. If you don't mind me asking what's the title of the book you were using and how much does a setup like yours generally go for?

the 22a felt plasticy? um, it is an all metal gun with rubber grips. =) Walther P22 is plastic. =P By plasticy I meant it felt too much like a kids toy in my hands.

Nice. Reason I asked was because originally I was going to hold off and save up for a Springfield 1911 and just get a Sig Mosquito for practice. Then I saw the Rock Island Armory M1911 series which is cheap and has had some really positive reviews. I can actually afford one of these on a single paycheck and have money left over! So I started considering if I should get a 22lr conversion kit for it instead of getting a dedicated 22 semi-auto. I wouldn't require additional permits and the 22lr kits are cheap compared to the 1911's out there.

Anyone have experience with them? From what I've seen there's one by Kimber and another by Advantage Arms. I really really want a 1911, but at the same time I recognize the need for a 22lr for practice and getting a kit would be a work around waiting for another permit for a dedicated gun.

I know that feeling with the 1911. When I tried Wolfy's S&W 1911 I fell in love and knew I had to have one. Still looking around for one and I'm going to start off with a 22lr. I may just get the 1911 and a 22lr kit for it.

Apparently till the 16th they're having a 10% off all guns sale. Unfortunately I won't be able to take advantage of this since my paycheck this week is said for and next week when I get paid I will be in SoCal for a conference I have to attend for work. Since my buddy Andrew told me about this I would like to return the favor so please ask for him at the counter if you go and help him boost his sales numbers. Better the numbers, better the hours for him.

Looks like they're still doing it since the site is still up and accessible. You get everything a 1 year membership gets except for the NRA magazine which isn't a bad deal. Just signed up myself. Figured might as well take advantage of it. http://www.nrahq.org/nrabonus/

I believe it was NJPilot's that I've fired. Its a good gun and shoots strait, but personally I don't like it. My biggest gripe is the sights. Compared to the larger bore guns I enjoy firing these are too narrow. That and considering I prefer full metal frame guns it felt too plasticy for my tastes. As always YMMV.

Well tomorrow would be the 4th week mark after I applied so we'll see if I get the letter in this week. I hope I do get it this week, but I'm skeptical. I didn't have an interview or anything like that. They took my money, my finger prints, my paper work and that was pretty much it. Though they did mess with me when it came to my references. They tried claiming the address on one didn't exist and the other was given the wrong zip code, both I called bull sh!t on and made them resend them. Sure enough my references got them and handed them to me so I knew they got mailed out. Both were dropped off in the mail box on monday morning so we'll see where it goes. This was Woodbridge btw.

Was there last night and saw 3 50 round boxes of 45 and a bunch of small packs of 9mm. They also had 3 50 round packs of CCI Stingers.

$100 rifle? You serious? I always thought these things were more then that. I should pick myself up one for that price tag.

same company... they make the jericho for israeili army, all done by IMI. Yes, but mechanically they are different guns. They only look similar on the exterior. The Desert Eagle operates on a gas-operated mechanism like you would find in a rifle while the Jericho operates on a semi-automatic short recoil system found in pistols. Yeah it does, because the version I tried was also a 44 magnum and I had no problems with it. Once I figured out how the sights worked it was very accurate despite the fact it was very heavy.

The Baby Eagle isn't even a real Eagle either, its a re-branded Jerico or something like that to boost sales using the Desert Eagle's early reputation.

Thanks for letting me shoot it as well! Fun is right and I didn't expect it to handle that well. I might save up to pick one up as a fun gun, maybe even in .50AE before the .50cal ban goes into effect.

Wow... that makes a Hi-Point look pretty.

The 'De-Fuglyfying Mod" is usually the first one.

I was looking at the 995 and the 4095 carbines myself. Have a friend who owns one and he totally loves it. Besides him I've always heard good things about it from those who own them. Its not the prettiest gun nor the most accurate, but for someone new to guns who's on a budget that want a halfway decent home defense gun you can't go wrong with a Hi-Point carbine is what I always hear. It shoots straight, can still hit a man sized target a little over 100 yards away, fairly reliable so long as you stay away from the ProMag 15rd mags, and will shoot dirty without complaining much if at all. Only down falls are its ugly, feels cheap, and is a bitch to tear down for cleaning. Personally I might still get either a Hi-Point or Keltec for a cheap range shooter.

Wow... just wow... a few weeks ago I got a letter in the mail from the local PD I applied at saying my first reference's address was wrong and to call in. Apparently according the post office the address I gave didn't exist. I double checked everything and even pulled up the address on google maps to triple check. Everything was right and I told them this. So they resend it, my reference sends me a text telling me he got it and sent it in. Now yesterday I get another letter with them claiming the address is incorrect for my 2nd reference. I guess they decided to send one after they received the other instead of both out at the same time. I made one little tweak to the address just in case that was the issue (specified the letter being an apartment), but the clerk tried claiming the zip code was wrong when I had doubled checked that and I was correct the first time. Anyone get a run around like this before? Seems almost like they're purposely trying to delay me to see how badly I want this.

Any ideas what their hours are like? I tried looking at their webpage and I can't find anything.

Oh snap, that's right down the road from me! And right across the street is the best Stewarts in NJ!

Like I've stated elsewhere Micro-Stamping is a wasted effort and serves only as a smoke & mirrors tactic for Corzine to add to a list of accomplishments for when re-election time rolls around. For it to work a lot has to be done. Everywhere in the country has to be in on it otherwise the micro-stamped firing ping can be replaced with one that isn't or a non-stamped gun can be stolen or illegally purchased then brought into NJ. Plus reloading spent casings would have to be made illegal as well because enough stamps would make the serial number illegible and anyone could pick up a spent shell from a range, reload it, and shoot someone causing either multiple serials ending up on it or simply being used to frame someone. On top of that the public shouldn't be aware of this, period. Knowledge that it exists means actual criminals will be smarter about where they get their guns from or will end up picking up their spent casings thus defeating the purpose of this requirement.

cap contribution is just that. Capital (money) contribution that gets added to their fund to be used for growing the club. That fee is a one time fee. Ah so its just another way of saying Initiation Fee.

Nice my Uncle belongs there and wants me to join the CJRPC. Only thing is its a little over an hour away from me and I don't get what this Capital Contribution Fee is. Definitely looks a lot better then the OBPRC.

Well that's not bad. Do you have to be a NRA member as well? I'm know some of the gun clubs require NRA membership.
