Assuming her husband has an FPID, and the gun was purchased in NJ under a P2P, she doesn't have any options not being the owner.

I'm with my fellow wheelgunners, you're way ahead ahead of the horse here. Shoot it first. The reality is you'll find that full-house .44Mag won't be what you regularly shoot. Frankly, the benefit, or lack thereof, from porting lies with the shooter IMO. If you've got a good grip and firm wrist, it's not really offering much. Yes, I am of the club with the belief that you need to shoot it like it is out-of-the-box before you get mod happy! I've got a client who fancies himself a shooter, but he has several dozen custom competition guns that have never seen a single round in competition (not to mention he's a gawd-awful shot), but they got every widget, gizmo, doo-dad the internet says are must haves!

Well Rowan youngster - growing up, there was no "Rowan" just Glassboro State (HA!) - if you want to really handle and fire some Sigs, wheels, and maybe even the FN (though $2/rd is getting nuts) before buying, we might be able to work that out.

I'm with Patriot, go for a Six-series. Always selling on Gunbroker, and they have a better DA pull than the SP - I have both. I don't think you will find the 4" SP-101 anywhere as they were scarce before the craze!

Have you fondled or shot anything? Seems you want a pistiol. A Five-Seven definitely not for the typical college kid budget! Nice thing about Sigs is that they are plentiful! Even now I can walk into shops and find both new and used Sigs still in the cases. Heck, older Sigs are really what you want in most cases, and the P226 has been produced in unbelieveable number. Another great first pistol is a Beretta 92, also very plentiful.

I'd like to share my second rotten experience in the span of 3 weeks - one with a local chain shop and this one - that have really soured me trying to buy locally... I was at my range a couple weeks ago and saw a father and son shooting a firearm that I've been looking for. It's a modern firearm, very popular, and so it sells quickly. I actually own one, but will be giving a pair of special kids their first shooting lessons here in a couple weeks and really need two. The father gave me contact information for a NJ FFL where he bought it and said that the FFL had a few in stock and that the guy was the cat’s PJs. Never heard of the FFL before but was eager to meet him after the glowing recommendation and because he was only 45 minutes’ drive! So, I contacted the FFL and learned he just got in from SHOT, but he confirmed he had some coming in that week and he’d be in touch. I also let him also know if he by chance was getting another model from the same manufacturer, I’d take both! Not hearing from him by end of the week, I gave him a call and left a message but no call returned. It was later in the day on Friday, so figured I missed him. Sent him an email, and he previously answered email very quickly, but not this time. Called again Monday and also emailed again since I wasn’t sure if my emails were getting out due to internet issues. No return communication. Called again Wednesday, and still no return. Tried yesterday and actually reached him, and he told me he had what I was looking for but needed to work up a price and would call me back in a half-hour. No return call, but my cell had died about an hour after conversation. So, I sent him an email asking to let me know one way or the other because I did find the firearm out at an FFL in Western PA with two left , but really preferred to support him as a local guy that also got a glowing recommendation. No reply or call back this morning, so called him mid-afternoon and my call was sent to voicemail and I asked the same – let me know either way. I thought maybe he’s just a really busy guy, and being an FFL is his part-time gig. However, it sat really odd with me that he wouldn’t want to jump on selling new inventory to a local guy who wants to buy from him, and will take not just one, but possibly two firearms right now… So, I had a little time and decided to use Google foo and discovered he has a website. On his website he has a link to Gunbroker auctions so I check them out, and that’s what really spurned me to write this… He has BOTH firearms I was looking to buy from him up for auction, and both were put up for auction AFTER he and I talked! I don't get it... Hopefully I will be able to get one of the last from the PA FFL ordered tomorrow morning for my kids, but all this will cost me use of a handgun permit regardless. I saved it especially so I could get both firearms from him, and it's expiring Monday. I could have rescued a Smith out of my regular FFL's safe had I known I'd get blown off, but now it'll expire come Monday (was already an extension) and my regular FFL is out of town working his full-time profession till the 8th. Sorry for the long rant, but needed to vent the frustration...

So, what's she doing with you???

Yeah, that's the actual cost when requesting current background on someone already in the system. Some PDs pass the cost along, some do not.

Doesn't matter a hoot about our layman's opinions. It's all on the individual FFL. They're the license holder, and whether or not they feel comfortable with counting. We all know some will not. You will probably want to check with the FFLs here that do NJ-conversions, and if the FFL you're dealing with doesn't agree on count maybe he'd transfer to one of them.

Well, that certainly cannot be argued!

I saw the one picture from that forum you linked, and you are absolutely correct! The end it open wider than a bullet = hider. So, the FN definitely wears a hider and must be misnamed a brake in their literature. It's all about the sumation of NJ evil features now, and FN will not wade in on that. It's up to the FFL now.

The FFL has ZERO business contacting the BATF for this! Who is this FFL??? We're talking NEW JERSEY's restrictions on evil features!!!

Forgot Mayor! Chief needs to do nothing more than request another background. It does not require you getting reprinted to do that!

I wouldn't wory too much. FN is very aware of the "terms" of different states and should clarify things for the FFL. Otherwise, and it will cost you a bit, you can have the 01 FFL send it to one of the forum FFLs that are also 07 FFLs for conversion.

Says it all:

This is very likely not going to happen in 2013! There is so much standing order fulfillment that it could very well be 2014 before new inventory returns. I've talked to contacts within Federal, S&W, and Colt and they're buried. They're simply not equipped in manpower nor machinery to get out ahead of this anytime soon. Could be crazy times for the whole firearms market for the next two years, especially if cooler heads prevail and there's suddenly a mass flood in the used gun market driving prices way down to move inventories.

If they were required, I'd be out of luck quite often! A large majority of my shooters were purchased when I lived in Free states.

What kind of budget are you thinking of burning with those permits?

+1 for Glenrock

Please write, call and email your thoughts to the Bills sponsors and every one of the Assembly Committee members that will be hearing the Bill.

As the initial responder said, it's going to be what your local PD does, if anything. The choice to extend them or not is left to the PD. I've had mine extended the same time as bringing them in. A fellow shooter the town over, it took 3 weeks. Given that they've expired 2 months ago, I doubt you will have any luck with an extension.

I'm guessing you are thinking of picking it up at Woodcrest? Once at Broadway, quick walk into Rutgers campus.

As some of you know, the SAFE Task Force will begin public meetings next week. For those who cannot be there and speak, please share your thoughts about gun control by sending emails to: [email protected] It would be great to jam up their inbox with "More gun control will not reduce violence. Please review the accepted research and statistics on this matter." kind of short, sweet, to the point emails.

Electronically coded shipment label like the one I got with my 9mm for SG? New shipping software encodes the hazmat in the QR code, plus UPS is only super staunch on the label if going by air. My SG box also had the new label however.

It's all good. I'm used to the "concerned" Camden citizens screaming at me... Sounds like there's already a few of us for sure on the 5th, and I'm going to forward the info to my range members.
