Thanks for all the replies guys. I'll be acquiring that bad boy just as soon as the PD gives me my permits.

Alright sweet. Thanks for the quick response man. Can't wait. This revolver has a lot of sentimental value for me.

Hey guys. My grandma asked me recently if I wanted to have my grandpa's old revolver. I told her I'd love that. She acquired the gun when my grandpa died and has no FPID or anything as far as I know, so I was wondering if she'd need one or anything else besides the standard PPP before selling me the gun. Thanks.

Rather than implying a lack of trust, I believe it shows a strong bond in trust and sense between the people and the government. In a case where the government has allowed the people to carry firearms for the protection of their lives and the lives of others, it shows that the government has the common sense to know that a law abiding citizen who has never committed a crime is not any more likely to commit a crime if he or she were carrying a gun for the purpose of self defense, and it also shows that the government is trusting enough to not disallow the people from protecting themselves, even when they have all the power and the means to do so. I also must comment on your first post in which you said you "felt" that the UK had less crime due to your perception. Perception is in fact god in this regard. What a person perceives and what is the actual truth are very different, and although a person's perception may be vastly altered or warped by any number of factors, they will always believe it to be true until shown otherwise. For example: A person may believe that the city of Paterson in our fair New Jersey is quite a lovely town with little or no crime by visiting only the nicer parts of town, but a trip to one of the shadier neighborhoods and more crime ridden areas will instantly shatter that perception. In fact, most people who are anti-gun have never been assaulted or put into a situation where their lives were in danger, and I can say that almost certainly. I've known many people who believed that guns were evil and that they had no legitimate defensive or sporting uses. One mugging is all it takes to shatter the reality that person has made for themselves. Anyway, it's nice to be able to discuss things like this with others with differing viewpoints. Allow me to also say, welcome to the US.

I use none because NJ is poopy.

Quick guys, we can knock it off course if we just stand on the shoreline and start firing at it! We might go to jail, but how many times have you ever gotten to shoot at a hurricane? C'mon I'm already in my car!

Country's not my bag, but my mom is a huge fan. I can't go anywhere with her without her wanting to put on some country.

Hey guys. I'm interested in getting a pistol in .22. Just a starter pistol, nothing too expensive. It'd just be for fun plinking and practicing at the range. Anything sub-$400 would be a great plus!

Now if only someone could open one in North Jersey.

Let's say a friend drives over and we want to go to the range, but I'm the only one with any firearms and we decide to take his car. Is it legal to have him drive with my firearms in the trunk?

The daughter might be annoying, but I guess I'm the only one who finds her hot.

Aw damnit. I totally wanted to buy a 92FS, but I need some kind of mask or something now so it doesn't blow gas in my face. Holy crap, I just had an idea. Quick, everybody get some guy like that dumbass the topic creator met and it'll be like Dinner For Schmucks at a range.

Thanks for the responses guys. It's just frustrating to know that what should be a simple matter of common sense is so skewed and warped because of certain politicians and organizations. If anything, at least I've been inspired to donate some more to the Second Amendment Foundation.

Dude no way. I am so going there. Even if I probably wouldn't be able to afford their cheapest stuff.

A galil, a FAL, and a colt commando.

It's an awesome gun I have yet to acquire.

Barring all the skewed statistics and such, all of the problems with the people pushing gun control seems to be the public's and certain politicians' misconception of the "power" of certain guns. For example, when someone sees an M16 or other such "military style" gun, their mind automatically defaults to what they see in movies, which of course is a fully automatic death machine that seemingly never has to reload. In that case, this whole thing is a matter of image, and the only thing necessary is to prove that the guns that are currently banned or restricted have no more killing power than the guns currently allowed. Why should a semi-auto rifle like a Galil or a FAL be banned when they do no more harm than a bolt action .308 could do to a human? Why does a gun with a collapsible stock or pistol grip or a flash hider have to be banned? Do any of those features magically make the gun more deadly? Maybe they'll argue that guns with "hi-capacity" mags are dangerous, but someone carrying a bunch of mags could do more damage by reloading faster, not that reloading is an arduous process to begin with. It just seems like common sense to me that the ones making these "common sense laws" are the ones who are operating on emotion rather than logic. So why exactly haven't we won yet?

Around 58-60 days for FPID and PPPs in Paterson. Not too bad.

Oh come the hell on! That's like giving infinite sex to a guy with no penis!

Thanks for the replies. After all the good I've been hearing about it, I think I'll be picking one of these bad boys up soon.

Wait, so it's not going to be in WP? Oh the pain of dreams dashed into a million bite-sized pieces. And to whoever mentioned the Paterson Rod and Gun Club, I feel your pain. I live within walking distance of where it used to be, and now that I'm a gun owner, it isn't there anymore.

If it's banned by NJ, it isn't legal to possess it at any time, except when passing through the state, I believe. So it's best not to spend extended periods of time in NJ with it. Not sure about the gun store thing, but I think you wouldn't be able to purchase without an NJ FPID or PPP.

I probably should've scrolled down a bit before making this topic. How much did you pay for it?

Anybody here have any experience with RIA, particularly their 1911 models? I'm looking to get my first 1911 and wondering if this is a good place to start.

Why thank you! I was wearing a pair of jeans that I've had that have that nice worn feel without looking old and raggy. Damn comfortable. In fact, I'm going to go put them on right now.
