Thinking of several smartass remarks but, ehh, nevermind!

All great stuff (apparently)in the works, very refreshing to see the progress ball rolling. The braintrust should put together a list of needs/wants that volunteers (I believe it was phrased as "suckers")can offer. I've been to the work weekends and they were a joke as far as organization and efficiancy goes.But the lunches were good. Put all this stuff in the newsletter,reach out and communicate with the members. While your at it publish/report some of the administrative activities that go on.And also your info here is greatly appreciated, thanks.

A new pistol range would count as bigtime progress and be a blessing to the weekend crowds for sure.And an action range- I like the sound of that tho not sure what that will be, tactical training maybe? I hope we get to see all this and more good news/ideas in our newsletter soon. Vending machines, yea i was thinking of some i saw down South that put out sandwiches and microwane type food but suppose not really practical in a low volume clubhouse.

I know a certain yearly 150K that would go a long way towards an indoor range! Pro Shop- are we talking shirts & hats or more hardcore stuff? Was there the other day and saw the new wrap around porch on the 100 yd storage shed, thats nice for those priveledged to keep stuff in there. Saw the open shed for gravel, good idea I guess. Vending machines in the clubhouse- will check them out when i need a candy bar or whatever, maybe they're(hopefully) a bit more sophisticated than that tho.And those "maybe future ranges" care to expand on that?....

Nice to see them expanding their options for more income, I hear they are struggling financialy and could use more money for recent aquisistions.

Read the sticky post above in this "NJ Gun Laws" for all that info. But yes- P2P,FPID,& Drivers Lic/photo suggested.

Welcome to the Forum and congrats.Yea 4 months sux and its too common. As far as the permits what I do is keep the originals at home and carry copies in an envelope buried in my bag. And the card, definately laminate it and I keep mine in my wallet. Mine would never be anywhere else except maybe my night table, just too valuable to misplace and a pita to replace.

Try the Stoeger (Beretta) Cougar 9mm. Its a very well made, a bit on the smaller side and bargain priced. It does pack 15 rnds, external safety but has fixed sights.I think Meltzers in Garfield stocks them. Mags are also a good deal,$20 at CDNN.

Cant we all just get along? Not trying to fan the flames here but I believe its tuh-May-toe/ tuh-Mah-toe.

Only kidding. Anyone actually own/shoot one of those $150 specials?

I'll split the blame. You did say the obligatory "I'll take it" and the sale should have been taken off the market. However to leave a guy hanging for two days and no contact I can see the seller wondering and getting restless. Its happenned before and will happen again.

After 9 minutes of flight an anomaly forced it down into the Pacific Ocean where it then bounced up off the surface again and fortunately skipped over the Hawaian Isles but then skipped again off the Pacifics surface and deflected off of Japan's coast (becoming iradiated) landing again in China taking out numerous rice paddys then finally coming to a halt in Russia who claims to have shot down invaders from "somewhere".

I know he got it cause I called him last week to see if he sent itback before I made a call to my handler and he says "uh, I think I did". Not a confidant response from him and now I know. He's always done good before but prbly part my fault for not accounting for his recent "troubles". Anyway not a big deal as I'm not one to plan my purchases by the hour. I like getting a P2P for the current one I want and then the xtras for whatever.

So I pick up my phone before and its one of our gun liason officers calling to let me know the reason the process is taking so long (6th week) is that one of my reference letters has not come back otherwise all is well. This was them on their own being pro-active, not them returning a frustrated call from me (was coming soon). So now I gotta go beat up my reference buddy and ask him why the other letter got returned a month ago and not his!Always prompt before so i dont know. Just thought I'd give some credit where its due cause its not always The Man screwing things up.

And of course that SB 150K has not been an expedenture in the past so throw that back in the leftover pot for the recent years.

I overheard from some of the elitest at one of the work weekends that the membership # was a running "inside" joke as no one really knew cause the system was so f'd up (really?). Could be 4000, maybe 12000! Memberships expire but not taken off list, new ones take months to add or even dbld up....Am curious as to how the new system is doing and what the actuall floating number is. Dont forget not every member shoots all the time. Some go 2-3 times a yr others 2 times a week altho it can seem like everyone goes on the weekends at times! I NEVER go on weekends so my perspective of crowds is very different from what I hear about, almost seems like I go to a different range when you go Mon-Fri.

this is upsetting beyond words. Why was such a force all on one clunker of a ride. You'd think they would be a bit more diverse and stealthy.We need to re-evaluate whats important to us over there.Is it the occasional Taliban or local fighter we come across? Awfull lot of lives and resources being thrown around over there and for what gain?

I've got pretty much the same list going on and most likely will pick up the RIA 45 tactical.Seems the perfact starter 1911, want a 45 and appears a great value for the money.

I will pray for everlasting peace for your father and strength for you and yours. I truly know what is happening as I went thru this also, watching dad in a hospital bed and knowing.It may seem an unbearable task now but time will help ease the present pain. Saying prayers now...

I think we had that article on here before,lots of chatter. yea lots of guns but no orginization, a hunting rifle vs. a trained military weapon etc...Altho it is somewhat assuring to see all those home town arms out there.

LOL- I fed a spider today, saw a huge web in my 10' stepladder then found a fresh fat juicy fly in the flypaper in the garage so....coulda sworn I heard a little "help me" voice

OOh OOh! I know! Ask one of those freeby lawyers in the bi-monthly newsletter.(only being 1/2 sarcastic)

No debate- the beagles do suk GO GIANTS!

I was refferencing shooters without ANY badge, not necessarily w/o a re-newed badge. I was told untill a new badge is issued the old one will suffice. Someone with no badge displayed should be looled at.
