NICS Checks
Got it, thank you sir Harry

Checked out Sayreville Sportsman today.
Same here, I would like to do more business with them, they are 2 minutes away from my house and just wish they were a little closer in price to what I can get from other shops. Even a couple bucks more would be fine being I could walk there, but I don't want to be ripped off. Harry

Checked out Sayreville Sportsman today.
There is a little independent shop just down the road from them (can't think of the name right now), it's on the same side of the road and closer to RT1. They do some decent work and are one of the few places I will go when I need something for my old shovel being regular Harley dealers think the EVO era is old and my ancient Shovel is from another lifetime. The parts may not always be on the shelf and I may have to order them, but I do this a few times a year just so they get my business and help them stay in business, sometimes I can get it a little cheaper on-line but I like to keep local places open also, never know when you going to need a real person to help you out.

NICS Checks
This really isn't a problem more if an inconvenience, Not sure if I match up with someone with a similar name or not but every single time I buy something that requires a NICS check, I never get an instant approval, I am always put on the standby list fur further investigation. Never a problem being it always comes back good, but I usually have to wait for 20 minutes or so, one time it was busy and I had to wait close to 2 hours. Now I like hanging out looking at things, see whats in the cases, talking to the staff and other people in the place that I am at and thats nice and all, but I would rather be doing that and spending that time because I want to, not because I have to. Another thing that happens all the time is you can't spend all that extra time in a shop and not buy a bunch of other stuff, happens every time, go in for gun and spend another 100-200 bucks easy on misc stuff. Great for the shop and me, but it's getting expensive, and no I don't need GA (our version of AA), I know I have a gun problem and I like it. Anyway to the point, I have herd that there is a NICS number I can call to see what the hitch is that causing this and I understand I may be able to get a special number to put on my applications that references this to avoid that added wait. I have looked all over the net and can't find a contact number to address this. Any chance anybody might know who I can call and what the phone number might be? Harry

What ammo do you keep loaded for home defense.
My 9 has Critical Defense as well as my .380 and both are in the quick open safe on my nightstand, Little HS 410 behind the door in the closet with a trigger lock ready to go with 000 in it for the wife to keep with her and my daughter while secure in there. Here is one more thing in the closet that I did a few weeks ago, I have the fold down attic stairs, well I started thinking my bedroom already has solid core doors on them, and the closet is a walk-in, I always planned on my family going into the closet being it as far away and through 2 different door to get to. Well I added one thing, I hooked up a pull system that after you go up the pull down stairs into the attic, you can pull a rope, it folds the stairs up so you can finish closing the stairs up and hide up there. I figure who would even look up there in the first place. Over the top, maybe, but it took me 5 minutes to do with some spare rope, if if ever need and used, it will be the best 5 minutes I ever spent. Harry

Marlin 795
Well I picked this gun up on the way home from work yesterday, ordered up some Teck Sights online. Didn't get to take it to the range yet, maybe later today or tomorrow, but wow, talk about a light gun, my other 22 is a Marlin Golden 39A and there is sure a difference. I saw the weight on the 795, but never held a rifle of that weight, will be real good for my 11 YO daughter. Now I normally shoot a lever action and if your familiar with the 39A it field strips in 15 seconds and thats how I clean it every time I shoot it so I don't really care what ammo I feed her. I use bulk Remington crap in it and it works well but having reservations on using this in a mag fed gun. Anyone use this in the 795 or even the 525 round Federal bulk box, also have that and the federal seems to be a little cleaner. Any experience with either of these because I like to save my CCI Mini Mag's for the P22, only have 300 rounds of that, but over 10000 rounds of the other stuff. Harry

My response to an internship request.
Glad to see your doing what you have to to get to where you want in the future, this alone would play highly if I was aware of it during an interview. Unfortunately many of the people coming into the workforce as had been stated earlier think that are owed things, I don't think as far as jobs go, we are owed anything when looking for a job. Hopefully you will get a free or paid internship in the future or right into the job your are training for. Talk about other who have close to a known period of time that they will have to scrimp and be very frugal, I have these kids, not that I am old, but these guy and gals just look a lot younger than they are, but I have new commuter pilots come through my tower all the time, and I find out that a lot of them for there first 4 year or there abouts will be making less per year than if they got a job flipping burgers while they build up their hours.

Harrased by a hippie.
Being you work with them and have to look at how comments and dialog along these lines would be viewed by HR, these are the exact people I like to chat with at times, just to see if i can educate them. I just posted in another thread about the same thing. I have been able to charge a some peoples views. It's not always that they are Anti-Guns, it that they just have a bad view of them with how the media portrays them as the gun committing the crime, It's ignorance and with knowledge some people can learn. believe it or not, there have been a few people that thought all of us gun owners were so much in support for our gun rights that we didn't care about what criminals did with them. I know my self crimes (real crimes) with guns should carry a stiffer penalty. Some people were shocked thinking we supported them. Crazy, but if you find out why they think the way they do, it gives you a great plan on how to address the conversation and what areas to cover. Try it if you like, and see if you get any results. I had one person who later became very active in the sport, hunting no less. Harry

online ccw course for Va.
I know MD does allow non residents to get permits, but MD I didn't think was a Shall Issue state, I thought they were May issue and there was a list of what occupation's you need to be in to be allowed, and for the reason of personal protection was NOT enough unless you had documented proof that there were threats against you.

Nice read / NRA to Obama
I think this would be good, I have spoken to many people over the years that had a bad view on guns, some of them I was able to educate some of them and to put it in a but shell, Guns don't kill people, people kill people. Some people as you know can't be reached, but I do agree, if they were more main stream and people learned that even if they don't want to own one them selves fine, but it is a right not a privilege and do any of want our rights taken away no matter what they are.

"Assault Weapons" and the Law
Sorry Vlad, I missed your response, but PA had a few things passed, enhanced the Castle Doctrine and a few other positive things. There is actually quite a few things going on and getting passed in the FREE USA that are very positive for gun owners, but hey, were in NJ don't have anything to add for us. Harry

Why cannot my local PD follow the law & guidance???
I know you have a trusted FFL and not sure how many guns your talking about, but you might want to shop around and see if someone in you area, or one of the FFL that frequent this forum might be interested in helping you out. Maybe even work out a little extra TIP to make the transaction worth it for what sounds like more than a gun or 2. Just kicking out idea being i see you really want this collection and hate to see you loose it. I was going to say if it's that big of a collection and I don't know the process, but might there be a way to add to the number of exemptions at this time being the process hasn't been completed with the state and deal with maybe 2 FFL's Hope it works out, and we get to see some pic of this collection when it's completed.

Pictures of AK's
You know the old saying, My Sh*t is Stuff, Your Stuff is Sh*t ... Myself I don't dislike any type of firearm, I may not want to own a particular one but I don't discredit it. Oh, correction, I do dislike a few, broke, or rusty. Harry

Hey hey hey, I drive a mustang, well actually I got one for the wife when she saw the 2011 convertable, but I drive it. Just like my other forum about Harleys, not like there is any of that stuff going on in the motorcycle world. Harry

10/22 tech sights
Exact same gun I want to pick up on the way home from work, ordering the tech sights as soon as I pick it up. Did did you just get the TSM200 alone or did you also order the TS220 adjustment tool. From reading it it doesn't sound like you really need it but for 5 buck's is it worth having?? Anything special about installing it or is it as easy as the instructions say it is? Harry

S&W 22A-1 .22lr broke.
Take a look at this you tube video, and if you feel comfortable with doing this, you should be able to diagnose what the problem is and how to fix it. Also a good deep cleaning can also work wonders over the normal field strip cleaning. Harry ETA: Malsua did make a very good point, if the gun is new, S&W would be your best option, don't want to void a warranty if you don't have to.

MOST beginner friendly range in central nj/east pa?
If you go to Shore Shot during the day check and see if Phil is there, he is the RO and is fantastic with new people, listen to his advise and comments, he won't steer you wrong. As far as classes, I can only recommend Gun for Hire and if i moved farther away I would still take the time to go to them, not discounting any of the others here but I have only had dealing with GFH. One thing I didn't see mentioned yet, but after you have a day at the range, take a you UN loaded gun, check it to make sure, now check it again. Depending on make you may want to use snap caps, but go to the basement, set up target and do what we cal dry fire the gun. This will teach you trigger control and when you start looking this more and start seeing where you have your groups placed on the target, you will see what you need to practice and be cognizant of. You do have an advantage, as with a lot of new shooters today that find forums like this. You have the chance to get good advise, maybe ask question you may not ask a person face to face, and learn the proper way to do things from the start. It's easier to train yourself to shoot with proper technique as a new shooter than it is for an old shooter of many years and try and correct something. In your mind there is nothing to correct, just concentrate on proper technique. Welcome to the sport. Harry

I found something reding through the FL CCW books.
Yes the new card doesn't say out of state resident, it's just a FL CCW. The new ones don't have your address on them either so there is no way to tell by looking at the FL CCW License alone. However you are bound by the rules of the other states and their acknowledgment of the FL license. If they don't except a NON FL resident and you are caught carriing in said state, well I wouldn't want to be that person. Regardless if it states (Non-resident/Resident) on it or not, it all comes down to what would be recognized in court. Harry
