How old are you kids when you start them with rifles? My little guy is turning 6 and I would like to start him with a pellet rifle.

I don't have a firearm yet. Are these events open to spectators?

Thanks for the idea. I just got my Chris Cringle assignment.

I can help with stickers if you guys want. I do diecut vinyl stickers as a hobby/side business.

Happy Thanksgiving to you all. I haven't met any of you but I like this forum and enjoy that I can learn a lot here. Also I am looking forward to tomorrow. I am going to see if I can get my wife down to Shore Shot or Brick Armory so we can shoot together. It will be my second time and her first!

I agree with you. We haven't even gone over our plows and throwers at work yet. I did start the thrower at home yesturday. BRING ON THE SNOW!

Wow this looks like it was a lot of fun. I am definitely getting a 9mm as my first handgun. I would love to do comps like this. The videos help a great deal.

Tactical did you finally get your pistol? Any thoughts on it? I shot the 226 at Shore Shot and enjoyed it a great deal.

Thanks for posting the list. I had no clue about the cotton balls mixed with petroleum jelly.

Cool I will add this to my DVR.

Thank you! I will do so. Right now I am going to do the paperwork and start waiting for it all to be processed. Yeah I love NJ, no matter what people say about it. Which Sig do you shoot? I like the 226 but have been told to try more out before I purchase. I also tried a couple glocks while at the range. I can't believe it has been a year. If I had done the paperwork then I would have been well on my way now! It seems everytime I go to do something for me work or some other duty comes into play. I did hit the range and now that there is a spark I want to make this happen. Thanks!

I have been gone for a while doing daddy stuff and wheeling my jeep: I finally got to get to a range. I went to Shore Shot down in Lakewood and following my brother in law's advice I tried out the Sig P226. Man was it a blast! I really have to get my paperwork going now. I am hooked!

I find this wierd. Wouldn't a Police officer be a great reference no matter of where they live? Most of my references are going to be from NY I hope this doesn't cause any problems.

I love the snow but could do with less ice. I am breaking down and getting a snow thrower this season.

Valley Forge has a little something for everybody. Black rifles from both sides of the former iron curtain. Ammo. Sporting arms. Optics, from Chinese crap to high-end Night Force (unfortunately more of the former than the latter). Just a very good general show. I'm heading over on Saturday morning if anyone is heading through Central Jersey and wants to ride along. Just PM me. Adios, Pizza Bob I am a complete newbie to firearms (paintballing/reffing counts somewhat towards safety attitude) so I think a show like this would be an eye opener. I think I can make it on the 19th. I will post up as the date gets closer Thanks for the heads up.

Dang didn't know about it. Any others to keep an eye open for?

Ok so watch out for the pink dudes lol. Very good point and thanks!

Hahaha yeah I wanted some space and a lawn to mow. I live in the center of town near the post office and immaculate conception school. ***edit*** Also thanks for all of the warm welcomes!

When attending a town hall meeting a while back our old mayor warned that times had changed and it was suggested that residents now lock the doors to their cars when they are home. I guess times are changing. I also found it strange that the local water meter reader visited my house on a Sunday when I was not home. Luckly my wife and mother were home and followed him in. I didn't know about it until it was already done but needless to say there will be no access to my home without me there especially on non business days. I lived in a decent area of Brooklyn where my car was stolen and found in a horrible area. So thieves do know where to shop.

Hello everyone. I wanted to thank the folks that run this place for working on it. I have been lurking around reading some good threads and getting some helpful information. I am a NYC transplant here in NJ and love it so far. It was a long time goal for me to move out here where things are a bit simpler if not friendlier. Now that I have some nice stuff I want to protect it and have my wife feel comfortable enough to protect it as well. I will be going to my precinct soon to drop off my FID paperwork to get my ball rolling. I would like to get myself and my wife into a Guns For Hire Shotgun Beginners program. Also can't wait to get my truck out there and do some hunting. -Stanley
