For what it's worth I brought my gf to a rental range in PA for her first handgun shooting experience, and had her shoot several semi-auto 9mm pistols and a couple .38 cal revolvers, and she absolutely loved the revolvers and hated the autos. My recommendation would be to have her shoot something in 9mm and a revolver in .38. Once you know what type of handgun she likes best it just comes down to what's most comfortable in her hand. Good luck!

A friend of mine is a resident in SC, but splits his time between there and NJ. Anyone know if he can purchase a firearm in NJ? And/or PA? Also, once he legally owns a firearm, what does NJ law say in ref to keeping that firearm at his NJ residence? Thanks!

Yes. You can use hollow points in any caliber at the range, so long as the range permits that caliber/gauge/etc.

Very purdy... should be fun to see these threads every month on the dot

It's not a TRP but I have a Springfield listed for sale: viewtopic.php?f=11&t=9315 You're more than welcome to send a few rounds through it.

What use will a gun be to a dead man?

I can tell you that I have never been asked to show FPID for black powder or 209 primers

Yes, each new-to-you handgun requires a new permit.

Good enough to hit a clay pigeon zipping by = good enough for HD imo. Also lessens the chance of tunnel vision by a small margin.

Pardon the newb but, if one were to sell a handgun, say through gunbroker, what steps would have to be taken to ensure that the sale was legal?

I believe that every department has MVRs nowadays. Talk to the Records Bureau of the PD who issued the ticket and get a copy of the MVR footage for your stop. You can then present that in court.

Physical - A Mental - B Experience - A Emotional - F Rank - Z+

Agreed, good to hear.

I like doing this: and this: which occasionally results in this: and this:

Ah, OK... I won't be able to get down there until 2:30 - 3.

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! My Disorderly was on a summons and was simply a fine paid to the municipal court, and my complaint shows up in NJ's AOC complaint system, which any municipality will check prior to issuing an FID.

Hrm... I'm off all day as well, what time you thinking of going? I've been meaning to sign up for a membership.

Happy birfday... Party it up!

Yes. Both the initial app and the app for my "duplicate" FID when I moved to a different town.

Bad move... Petty Disorderly Persons should show up on a background check, and lying on your paperwork is 10x worse than just a silly Disorderly. Also for reference, I got myself a Disorderly Persons offense back when I was 18 and it did not hinder my FID or PPP in either of the two towns that I've lived in.

Not exactly. In fact the woman was brought to the home of Senator Lautenberg, where she was sacrificed to Satan before her liver was ceremonially eaten by Lautenberg, Feinstein and Hillary Clinton. Come on folks, NJ gun laws are ridiculous but please don't just make up stuff to use as examples of how bad they are. No need to be a dickhead... apparently I misread it, so sue me. Here's the thread I was referencing: viewtopic.php?f=19&t=6643&hilit=illegal+transfer&start=30 And the reference link: http://blog.nj.com/njv_scott_bach/2008/ ... t_pra.html The first time I skimmed the thread I had assumed that the link was a reference to a particular case, and having re-read the thread I see my error.

link? I am not sure i believe even with living in such an anti-gun state that given the options of following procedure OR picking up a firearm in a critical situation where fear of serious bodily injury OR loss of life may occur that it is reasonable to expect charges be filed.. if an under age driver jumped into their parents car to flee a potential child abductor are they really going to charge them with under age driving? just saying.. i BELIEVE that someone mentioned that this happened.. but I am not so sure that it actually did.. I was searching earlier... I could have sworn that the story was posted with a link but was unsuccessful in locating even the story.

Ah there it is! Thank you for the clarification.

In NJ? Pretend I didn't see shit and GTFO.

Awesome picture! Love that you caught both shells just after being ejected.
