go BIG or go home!!

just wanted to say thanks for ALL of you who got a chance to show up last night, say hello and help me find my 1st handgun. the experience was priceless! never knew i would find such great people from the forum. i still cant believe it. i would have driven 5hrs instead of 2hrs to do it again! thanx again!

Im doing research, thats how i found ALL YOU GUYS! -if not, how else would i come across NJGF?

prefer .40

Thanx! cant i rent a gun from BA too? if so, do u know what they have available?

Looking forward to meeting Tony tomorrow.

i'm a car guy, so dealers dont like me, -lol. (im hoping i can get this good w/ guns) your other response is sooo true. i am getting around the forum and pay attention. i have been in email contact w/ vinny and briefly chatted w/ paul. i think he has a used P229 listed on his site.

Happy Birthday!!

there were (2) people working in the store yday. i was MORE THAN PATIENT waiting for my turn and also had the saleswoman take care of the paying customers for the range. i was the one who told her to take care of the people who want to shoot 1st, and i waited w/out a problem. since i am new to all this, i didnt want to piss anyone off at a place i maybe shooting in the future. sad part is, i have a boss who is looking for two handguns & a friend who is looking for another. that could be 6 pistols and who knows how many rifles.

this is where im at. i have a big budget, but seems nobody wants a piece of the pie up here. i also need eye/ear protection, gun care accessories, targets, bullets, etc.

I used Jef for my permit, everything went smoothly. (my police chief hates gun permits) Jef Henninger, Esq. 8 Offices in New Jersey Tinton Falls, Newark, Toms Riv, NJ 08901 (732) 773-2768 http://www.tomsriverattorney.net

after talking to Tony, i think im gonna try to make it to BA tomorrow to meet you guys.

just wondering who is going to BA tomorrow?? i am planning on making the trip from NNJ. since im new to the forum/shooting, i was told this is the best way to meet you guys/girls and learn more about the sport. you can meet me too, -lol! i stopped in there once, but it was before i got my fid/pp.

i would consider going, just as a spectator. would definately split gas, lodging, etc. i dont mind the drive since i would love to get out of NJ & move to TX anyway. this way, i can see what i'd get myself into. drove from San Jose, CA back to NJ in 2 1/2 days!

I will be calling Tony tomorrow, hopefully he can help.

semi-autos. i think the revolver will come AFTER my 1st three permits are used up. considering a G19 for my 1st gun, then P229 & last a .45. i was COMPLETELY disappointed being treated like a second class citzen @ the BH and walked out b4 looking @ another 9mm or a 45.

went to BH today, not interested in the LCR anymore, didnt feel right.

Like the title says.....WHY can't a newbie get any questions answered, advise or have someone EXPLAIN differences between pistols in north NJ. ex: Glock, Sig, HK, etc. (and thats BEFORE I get into revolvers). So far, the ONLY help I got was from Meltzers & SureShot b4 I got my PP. Unfortunately, its tough for me to get there because of my work schedule but Im gonna try again. For example, today I was even told that the Glock23 & the Sig229 was the same gun, just different manufacturers. -WTF! Can someone explain this to me? Its so damn frustrating thst the only help I get is from this forum, thanx guys!

direct tv, my friend (unless it snows or downpours!)

i hear there is a RECALL on the ACR. =that sux!

wasnt planning on shooting .357s out of it. i figured the extra weight of a steel frame would help. worst case, i would consider a S&W 640 instead.

Caldwell Tire, on Passaic Ave, Caldwell. ask for Tony (owner) 973-226-6955 tell him ALEX sent ya! he's the only guy I trust w/ ALL my cars!

i was going to buy the 357 bc it has a steel frame instead of alloy. i would be shooting .38 thru it and .357 for home defense/ccw (if needed).

Finally decided on a revolver, Ruger LCR .357mag (steel frame) Now, who has one in stock? I see them on GunBroker, but prefer to buy from someone in NJ.

unfort, i live in north NJ & work until 730pm. SS is about 90+min from my job. i am gonna try to rent some this weekend if i get out on Sunday, since its my ONLY day off. thanks for all ur offers!
