I saw on News 12 this evening that 90% of the people who spoke at today's meeting were pro 2A, they even played footage of some of them speaking.

The only rule in retail is, that there really is no set markup percentage. I have items in my store that I make 10-15% on and other items that I make 600% on. Every product is different, and your local market as well as local competition will also influence prices (and therefore markup). I don't sell clothes, but I would be willing to bet that the markup is far greater than 100%, how else would they be able to sell them at 75% off a price that was already marked down 50% at the end of the season. My guess is that clothes sellers buy a shirt for $5 and sell it $40 or even as high as $60 when they first put it out for sale. As time goes by they continually mark it down until everything is gone as the season changes. I can walk though a Home Depot and point out many items I know they they are making a terrific margin on, and what they are using as a loss leader because I am buying many of the same items wholesale. Large retailers have pricing down to a science, they will draw you in with loss leaders, knowing that you will need to buy accessories for that item that they make killer profit on.

My understanding was that RTSP's range cost about $1.2 million (without the building, they're renting), and the air system was $200k alone. What others are saying is consistent with the information I've heard, not sure how you'd be able to get away with $250k total range cost.

9 employees - this is my slow time of year

F&G's logic for not allowing modern rifles to hunt (woodchucks excluded) is a concern over the density of the state in general, too many houses in close proximity and too many other hunters in the woods, with the latter being less of an issue these days. It has never involved terrain, as far as I know. I think they should allow some rifle hunting on larger parcels of private land, like other states (CT) that have high density do, but I doubt we're going to see that.

Right now is a perfect example of this.........

Any dealer that has inventory is not likely to want to do cheap transfers. Like any retail business, inventory ties up capital. If a buyer is ordering a gun from a place like Bud's because they will save $10 over the price for the same gun the dealer has sitting on the rack already, how does this help the dealer? The main objective in retail is to turn over product in inventory quickly, cheap transfers will interfere with that, particularly on new guns.

I guess you never ventured north of I-195 much when you lived in NJ? Nothing flat about anywhere up here.

Yeah, I heard that it will take the Park off as well as the paint on sights. FYI - I have that same machine the OP posted, it seems to work well.

I got an email from them today that they still have 1000 orders of .30 carbine ammo yet to be shipped.......... I guess the IHCs are going to be a while longer yet.

A C&R license is for gun collecting only, not a license to conduct business with. The application for an FFL asks the question "Do you plan on selling ammunition only?" and then gives the answer choices of "No" and "Yes - do not fill out application".

Target shooting on private property with any NJ legal firearm is allowed, if done in a safe manner, unless the municipality where the property is located has an ordinance restricting or prohibiting it. You need to check the town ordinances.

I didn't think that was possible..........I guess I learned something new. Question then......... If the NICS check is done, and the buyer doesn't get their permit until 20 days after the NICS is run, do they then have to wait 30 days for their next HG purchase from the time the NICS was done or from when they picked up the HG and filled out the permit?

Assuming we are going to have to keep dealing with this archaic system............. we need to get the police to be accountable for the timing of what is being done in this application process. The police should have to record the date you hand in your completed paperwork, the date they sent out the reference letters and the date they get them back, the date they sent the paperwork to Trenton and the date they get it back, the date the mental health check was sent out and the date they get it back. I know for a fact that in a lot of departments, that in many cases, paperwork is just sitting around collecting dust, and the applicants are being told BS lies as to why it's taking so long. If the local PD is doing their job as required, they would be absolved of any wrong doing by documenting the process.

???????????? can't do a NICS check without a permit.

^^^^THIS^^^^^

FTF is legal in NJ as long as the buyer has an FID for LG's or a PPP for HG's. No dealer is going to waste their time going to a buy back to do transfers for $1, I doubt they would even bother for their normal transfer fees. They are in business to buy guns significantly cheaper than they are selling them for, anything else is a waste of their time.

As long as it's considered a "antique cannon", I would think it should be legal in NJ - note that any cannon that does not fire fixed ammo is considered an "antique" under NJ law. 2C:39-1. Definitions. 2C:39-1. Definitions. The following definitions apply to this chapter and to chapter 58: a. "Antique firearm" means any rifle or shotgun and "antique cannon" means a destructive device defined in paragraph (3) of subsection c. of this section, if the rifle, shotgun or destructive device, as the case may be, is incapable of being fired or discharged, or which does not fire fixed ammunition, regardless of date of manufacture, or was manufactured before 1898 for which cartridge ammunition is not commercially available, and is possessed as a curiosity or ornament or for its historical significance or value. As with everything else in NJ "antique cannons" are illegal to possess except by the following organizations/people: (2)Subsection a. of N.J.S.2C:39-3 and subsection d. of N.J.S.2C:39-5 do not apply to an antique cannon that is capable of being fired but that is unloaded and immobile, provided that the antique cannon is possessed by (a) a scholastic institution, a museum, a municipality, a county or the State, or (b) a person who obtained a firearms purchaser identification card as specified in N.J.S.2C:58-3. Research the law on firing cannons before trying to do so, there are limitations.

Unless the seller was in NJ (which I highly doubt), the seller is not required to follow NJ law. The potential problem is for the buyer, I wouldn't discuss this on a public forum.

Thanks again! that's helpful advice. WOW, that cleaning solution is pricey, $88 a gallon!

Even if you were buying a handgun, if you have a permit and are more than 30 days out from your last purchase, it would be legal. Transportation of a handgun is legal from a place of purchase, the only people breaking the law are the dopes standing in the "buy back" line.

Thanks, I would assume you think it's worth the extra $$$$$, is it good at taking off really stubborn crud?

Yeah, I know about lemishine for brass, but was wondering what would be best for cleaning decades old crud and grease off gun parts?

What are you cleaning gun parts in? dish soap and water? or are you adding other things?

If you are a Glock collector, and you are buying more Glocks, I would state that on the paperwork where it asks for the reason why you are requesting the exemption.
