Is .40S&W a bad beginner round?
As far as financially, 9mm is cheaper then .40 that's a given but if you end up shooting alot its expensive regardless. Dont say never to reloading, if you don't increase the amount of ammo you shoot after you start reloading you will save money. First handgun I ever shot was in .40 and it felt very snappy and hard to control I got used to it though. I still prefer 9mm because I am just more comfortable with it and its cheaper, you need to try both for yourself though everyone's different some people swear by the .40 others disapprove of it.

nutnfancy videos
If I want detailed info on a gun or knife I have not seen I check his channel but other then that I try to avoid his 45min opinion videos. I find his older videos were a lot better but lately hes seemed to have gotten a big head and its more about things hes done and about the Nutnfancy Project then the thing hes suppose to be talking about.

HELP!!! any computer guys in No Jersey?
Lol it has nothing to do with windows its a video card hardware issue, the red streaks and black lines is 98% of the time the video card itself either drivers or hardware... Back to OP if its a laptop you gotta find out if its a on-board GPU or if its a separate card. If its separate I would suggest just going on newegg.com and buying a new one save yourself alot of time and trouble and video cards are very easy to install. If its onboard it opens up alot of potential reasons for the failure, it could be a connection on the motherboard. I would suggest calling a repair place that's not geek-squad cause they charge too much to begin with and odds are they will ship out your computer.

Haggling?
Like other have said though don't risk a good business relationship over small amounts of cash, support local shops whenever you can but don't be taken advantage of. I ask if prices are firm and if there is any flexibility and not just with firearms even if I go to a hobby shop or a mom and pop shop. I do it very nicely and I only ask when its worth asking,if a business knows you genuinely like being their customer but your in a tight spot they might be willing to help. I have asked about pricing a few times in gun shops and the places have been nice about it and they helped me out if they could and weren't offended.Being honest about your position and why you ask is important so they know your not just penny pushing. If a place gets offended about you asking, when its a good price difference and they know you would rather give them business if possible. That place has a bad business model doesn't care about you and doesn't deserve your money for their services.

.22LR conversion kits
Sig p226 or p229 have .22 conversion kits, the cz75 has the kadet which is a .22 conversion kit.

Sig vs HK
I am getting a p229e2 next month, tried it in store loved it and its good if you have a medium to smaller hand. If your really hung up you should go and try both like others said. Since your the one that's going to have to live with the decision.

Eye Protection question
I use smith optics with carbonic lenses, I normally use them for mountain biking but use them for range too since they are impact resistant. I think though any glasses would be fine for range use because your mainly looking to protect your eyes from shells flying into your eyes. Not much protection is needed to stop that, anything else that flies at your eyes in a range, odds are no glasses will stop that. I may look into some new glasses just because I have issues with fogging with mine, haven't really found a good pair of non fogging glasses yet.

How screwed up is NJ??
I applied 12/14 and just got my stuff on 04/05 so I feel your pain. NJ is one of the few states that's been able to completely limit or slow down the ownership of guns and build a fear of firearms within the residents. I have alot of friends that are anti gun just because they simply have never even seen one in person and just think they are dangerous. No Ifs Ands or Buts about it, they just listen to what they hear on the news and media and they develop an opinion without educating themselves on the subject. The key to changing this states views is education and awareness of firearms.

Couple questions before putting in my application
When ever you have a conviction if its still on your record you really should try to get it expunged, It is potential grounds for getting denied. For hair you should ask if you can put bald or you would have to put the color your hair would be if you grow it. I do not know enough about the psychological background checks to give you an answer on that. Best of luck

What accessories do I need?
I bought these for the range, I think they offer really good protection and you can listen to music while you shoot! That's probably not a good thing to do though. http://www.amazon.com/Howard-Leight-R-01526-Electronic-Earmuff/dp/B001T7QJ9O I also bought peltor earplugs as added protection but I rarely need to use them ,depending on the guns you own and variations of ammo, the Cabela's dry box is nice for the range. If you buy bulk ammo from them the box is included its worth it for the box I think. I dont have a suggestion for a range bag since im still in the market for one.

why is it sooo difficult to get any help from a gun store?
I bought some ammo today at dicks in freehold there was a really cool old guy there that helped me, people look at you weird like why are you carrying ammo but the staff was cool in my experience.

Jackson NJ permit process?
What I was able to find out was basically what Matty kinda hit it on the head, there is a budget war going on between the department and mayor. Supposedly they were knocked down to 4 work days and they aren't processing anything in the records department to make it seem like the department needs the 5 days to run effectively. I believe this past week they got switched back to the 5 days. Anyone that applies for anything in the town right now is being put on hold, I am gonna call tomorrow find out what the deal is with this budget crap. If I don't get a straight answer that is acceptable I will get in touch with state police right after I get off phone with them and look into a lawyer.

Jackson NJ permit process?
I have been having a really rough time with Jackson,I applied for my FID and 3 PP's and handed in all forms and my fingerprints to Jackson PD on December 14th I was told 6-8 weeks wait time. My references got and returned their papers one week after, I am still waiting on my FID and PP's. I found out from some LEO friends there's some political BS going on in the town and explains why I have not gotten my card and permits yet.

Anyone into solar power?
In the future when you go to your new place, you may wanna look into small wind turbines. They have really come a long way especially in private/home sector they can run on very little wind and produce good amounts of energy and prices have gone down. Running a hybrid system of solar/ wind is usually best bet if you have the cash. That way when there is no sun usually tthere is wind and vise versa.

any good Hibachi Steakhouses in NORTH Jersey
My cousin is/was(haven't talked to him in a while) head Manager at the arirang hibachi steakhouse off of route 9 south in sayerville. I dont know if that's north enough for you,the food when I went there last year was really good and the guy put on a good show. As far as the volcano with the onion I dunno if they are breaking laws but it went up a good 1.5-2 feet when I ate there.

SAF v NJ (MULLER et al v. MAENZA et al)
I think paula left this case in her interns hands and they gave a crap response so now she asked for an extension so she can try to pick up the ball for a dismissal. Maybe with the three day extension the argument she submits might actually look like it came from an attorney.
