I am interested in purchasing an AK style rifle in 7.62x39, anyone know an indoor range that allows for this caliber that do not require a membership? I am in central NJ and currently go to ready aim fire in PA. Thanks in advance! While on the subject, anyone know what these rounds will run me cost wise? just curious. Thanks!

So I have a pretty dumb question, but want to get the facts before I head to the local PD and ask for a form. Am I correct that there are two separate forms for firearms? As in an FID and then handgun permits? I already have an FID and own long guns, but I do not have any handguns or applied for any permits before. What do I ask for when I go? I recall when I filled out my FID paperwork it asked if I also wanted pistol permits, but I was not 21 at the time. Can I go back to the PD and ask for simply the paperwork for handgun permits? Also, I do not need to get re-fingerprinted right; so it is just a few bucks via check for the application cost? I also have another question (this may be a dumb question), but how do I go about the paperwork, as well as buying a handgun? I know there is a time limit once I acquire a permit to actually purchase a handgun with said permit, so about how long do these take? I would be going to the state police near the hamilton marketplace if anyone is familiar with their time lengths. Do I look for a handgun already and ask them to hold it, or ask them to order it for me while I go about applying for my permit so that the time it would take to receive the gun wouldn't be longer than my permit is valid for? At this point, I am not sure on what handgun I would be interested in buying, so I would need some time to look for prices and various models. Basically, is anyone able to tell me what the process for applying for just a handgun permit is? And once I get this permit, do I need to bring it or something with me when I go to look for or buy a handgun? Looking for some direction.

If that is the only real difference between the two, and it is a bit cheaper than that might be more the way to go. New question - I have my FID. If I want to buy a handgun, never having applied for a permit before, nor owning any handguns (though I own rifles and shotguns), how should I proceed? I understand that permits for handguns expire after a short time, so should I try to acquire the handgun I ultimately want to purchase first and then apply for a permit? Or the other way around? Especially nowadays where more and more restrictions are being put on guns and gun owners. Any direction would be appreciated. I just don't want to risk the gun I want, since they seem to be few and far between, while trying to get a permit for it. Then again, I don't want to have a permit expire while trying to find a walther, or waiting for it to be ordered.

What are the differences between a P99 and PPQ?

Hello all, I have recently gotten into a position where I can afford a new gun. Now I am interested in a handgun, namely the Walther P99. I called to a few shops near me and none have them in stock, and claim getting anything might be a hassle as of late. I was wondering what you guys think I should expect to pay for a new Walther P99 9mm. Thanks a lot!

Hey all, so I am thinking about getting a new rifle. I was looking around and found a nice looking Mossberg rifle for a low price. I have a Mossberg shotgun and love it so I was looking to see what other things Mossberg I could get as well. I found on the Mossberg site this "Mossberg International™ 715T". Anyone familiar with it or its legality? I am looking for a rifle to ultimately get an inexpensive scope so I would also love to get a rifle to have the ability to mount one, and not to use this gun for much, just target shooting at the range. Any ideas on what this would cost now, as the msrp is not much at all. Thanks for the help!

my lawyer was a family friend who i had represnt me for free. it was his advice to just get my property back, have the case be dismissed and let the matter drop instead of drawing more attention to it. i have not the money or means to acquire a lawyer for a fee which this matter would have cost me. everything stated here was the 100% gods honest truth of the matter. nothing more needs to be said. i am not sure if i ever said the outcome but i got my property back, and the case was dismissed from the prosecutter. when i went to pick up my weapon, the detective said himself "the problem was not that the gun was an assualt weapon, but rather how it was being transported". (why the cops all stated on their papers it WAS an assualt weapon, who the hell knows. they apparently are ignorant and clueless. he also stated "this incident was in no way you being targeted or considered to be harrasment so please do not take it that way." i also would like to say that ever since driving in cherry hill, i have not been stopped or bothered in any way. on a few occassions i remember being in cherry hill and at red lights or driving, having a cop car get behind me and in a few seconds, move into the right lane so i guess they were told to let me be which is fine with me.

I have been thinking about doing some shooting on my own property and have been curious about the ejected bullet casings. I was wondering if anyone has any ideas on either a rigged setup or if one exists to buy on a way to contain ejected casings after being fired. I have pets and would prefer not to have the ejected bullet casing all over my shooting area if possible. Does anyone have any ideas on if fashioning one is even possible? For example - some sort of container that connects to rifle ejection port to catch the ejected casings? I have a 22 rifle and those things are small to be picking up all the time.. Any ideas? I am not looking for laws on shooting on my own property, just wondering if anyone has any ideas on how to contain the casings.

ok thank you very much

yes that was me, glad my ridiculous case made an impression. and yes, I had just bought the gun that day. it was a birthday present to myself.

ok I understand thank you very much.

I thought that I needed to fill out the same packet as well, but the packet I received from the station had a whole packet of info on it, and one statement was made stating if "you already have a Firearm ID card and wish to apply for a permit to purchase a handgun", this is not the packet to use. So, this is the correct packet? Is the only cost for a permit to purchase the $10for the application and $2 for one permit? and the arrest was last january, I had just bought a pistol gripped pump 12 gauge and was stopped and told the gun was an assault weapon due to the attached pistol grip, however that law only applies to semi auto shotguns. therefore the gun was returned to me and I recieved a letter from the prosecutor that the case was dismissed. So I have an arrest record, but no criminal record. at no time did i lose my FID.

I had a quick question about how to obtain a handgun license. I live in NJ, and have to deal with the state police for firearm paperwork, and I was curious if the paperwork for the handgun license was the same as the paperwork for the FID card? I am 21, already have a FID and I do not see any form labeled as just handgun permit on the NJSP site, but a combined form for FID/handgun permit. or do I just go to the police station and ask for a handgun permit paperwork? That was my first question. I also have a second question - I was arrested for a firearm I have being considered an assault weapon. I have an arrest record, but the case was dismissed and have no criminal record. That is the only problem with my record, but I am hoping because it was dismissed that it wont be a problem or prevent me from getting a handgun permit or even to purchase a handgun? Can anyone think this would be a problem for applying for a handgun permit, or if I do get a handgun permit, would it prevent me from buying a handgun? Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

One quick question, Turned of age to purchase a handgun, and am mainly interested in a 9mm. Can someone tell me what brands I should start looking into for a reliable, inexpensive 9mm? Also, aside from 22s, are 9mm relatively inexpensive to shoot? I would be looking to use it strictly for target practice. Any advice on fair prices would also be appreciated. Thanks.

I was curious about this, as I am getting no real answer when asking some dealers. Would I be able to purchase a handgun from a friend? What I know about owning handguns is that you need to apply for a seperate permit for each handgun through the state that you wish to buy from a dealer. My question is if my friend, who also lives in NJ, has a handgun he purchased legally with said permit, would he be able to sell me the handgun, without me having to apply for my own permit through the state? Wouldn't I be pretty much taking his handgun permit along with the gun? Can anyone help me with anything they understand about this? Thanks.

i do not remember what the ranges were called but some ranges i spoke with claimed that high velocity ammo has a chance of penetrating the back wall... i have no idea where they got that though. any idea what other ammo would be a good choice beside the ccl minimags?

my question is that when i recieved the gun back, they stated it was cleaned and inspected and put 40 rounds through no problem. is it possible that the gun needs to be cleaned everytime i go to shoot it? could that be a problem? i just find it kind of weird i need to go to a range and after every 10 rounds clean the gun...

the are 3 types of jams i am seeing. 1 - the gun fires, and the next bullet chambered sits lopsided inside preventing it from firing 2 - the casing is ejected and stuck in the ejection port half in half out 3 - 2 rounds will be in the chamber at the same time.

the gun is marked for 22lr hv, and i have used both 22 lr hv, as well as just 22lr as some ranges i went to dont allow hv type ammo. I used ccl minimags last. i was told they are a high quality ammo?

Hello, I have a GSG AK variant rifle in 22 lr. I had a problem with jamming so I sent it to ATI to have it looked at and fixes. When I got it back, I went out shooting and the first 30 or so rounds went through fine. But after that, it started to experience jams every so often. Then, gradually and surely, it was jamming more and more, and eventually, was jamming every round, or every other round. My idea at this point is that I need to clean the rifle every time I have to reload the magazine, as when I got the gun back from ATI, they claimed to clean it and it worked fine until more rounds went through it. But this leads me to my question.... does that make sense to anyone? Is it really neccessary to have to clean my 22lr after every 10 rounds? Because that seems kind of ridiculous to me, though I plan to quickly clean the ejection port every mag change just to see if thats the problem. Thanks for any advice you can offer.

I was looking around online from a site I order everything from books to firearm accessories from, and came across two things I would like some opinions on. One was a .22 rimfire "bullet trap", and I was wondering if anything like this was made for a 12ga if that is at all possible to get for home use. Just curious. I live in an isolate neighborhood with a farm on one side of me (and I have seen on several occassions the inhabitants of said farm shooting on their property into woods), I was thinking if it would be at all possible to shoot from my backyard facing a farm/woods? I am sure there are restrictions but just curious about the idea, not that I am going to go out and start doing it tomorrow or anything. My second question was in reference to another thing I found on this site, being " ST Action Pro - 12 Gauge Action Trainer Dummy Round - 25 Rounds". These are said to be "12ga dummy rounds, completely inert, with orange ABS plastic insert." The picture given for these rounds is bright orange, so I figure are easy to see they are not real. I was wondering if these sort of things are allowed to shoot on my private property, NOT at people or towards buildings and such. Anyone know anything about these? Thanks, just peaked my interest.

Hello everyone, it has been a while since I posted on this forum, and I just have a question I have been thinking about that I would like some advice on. So my fiance and I are recently pregnant, and we have been living together for a few months in our own apartment. Upon getting ready for a new child, as I am sure everyone is away of, there are quite a few things that need to be done. With all the excitement and work that needs to be done, I recently thought about something I am concerned with. How do I introduce firearms around children? Both my fiance and I are comfortable around firearms, she supports my desires and reasons to have them in the house. We are going to be purchasing a gun safe in a few months to keep them in once the child arrives and obviously store the ammo in a separate lock-box type safe. We have discussed it, and we do not want to hide firearms from our children. However, we are a little unsure how to introduce them. Should we introduce guns to our child from a young age? or wait until they are older to introduce them? Or wait until an opportunity presents itself to allow us to introduce guns to our child, (i.e. a movie, or casual conversations). WHat we are concerned with is that we do not want to keep such items (guns) secret from our child in the event they somehow come across them for some reason at some point in their life and are unfamiliar with them and start fiddling with guns. Of course, we also do not want to introduce them and create an interest that was not there before, or to get our child into guns and get them interested either. If any one had a child AFTER having guns, could you please offer some help? W are basically asking when we should start talking to our child about guns and telling them they are in the house, etc. Any help will be appreciated. Thank you!

Are NJ residents now able to apply (and acquire) for a CC permit? A friend of mine has a 45 ACP handgun and showed me a concealed carry permit he now has. is this even possible? He said something about attending a safety class and now is able to carry concealed weapons? Anyone have any information on this? I know there was some talk about bringing CC to NJ but I never thought it would even happen.

I have a GSG that I called today about its problem with jamming very often. I need to take a trip over to Staples to scan the order receipt but I was just wondering if I could get some input from you guys. I called ATI and they said if the gun is less than 2 years old than its under warranty, which it is, so I was just looking to get some help as I have never done this before and I have some questions. First, if it is under repair, and I assume I need to send it either to the place of purchase or the company itself located in NY, how do I go about doing this? do I need to fedex it or UPS it from my house? Is that even legal to do? Or do I need to bring it to an FFL and have them do it? This is probably a stupid question but like I said i am new at this. Also, the place I bought it from (cheyenne) no longer sells this rifle, and they are a bit brash, so would I have any sort of problem with bringing it back to the place of purchase for repair? Or, could any gun shop do this for me? I have also went to Ready Aim Fire in PA as well as Sportsman center in bordentown. As far as shipping goes, what procedures do I need to follow, I know obviously unloaded and I have the original packaging but it says AK47 and GSG on it so I am assuming I need to cover that box with another box? Anything else I should know about? I do not know for sure yet if I need to ship it or bring it anywhere or if they are going to send me any sort of item to repair it with, but I wanted to just get some information ahead of time in the event it came to this. Thank you very much!

So I was thinking of getting a new AK variant, something like a WASR or a Saiga.. I like the wood furniture on them and I am hoping to have enough $$ for a 7.62x39. I do not have a ton of cash, but what are some good, reasonably priced, reliable ones? I have been looking into Saigas but i have heard from some people the price for them just keep going up.. any idea what one would run me nowadays in NJ?
