Old Glock guy

Actually, you could almost use four in the first 90 days if you make your first purchase on day one, your next on day 31, your third on day 61, then your fourth would be on day 91. Your greater point is correct, though, that you still can only fit in six purchases within the 180 days (with the extension).

Sadly, I kind of feel the same way.

I would take that deal! As you noted, we can always fight for a reduction in the feelater on. Also, some have mentioned that we should not be required to pay a fee and take training to pursue a right, but I don't have a problem with either of those issues. I believe there should be some significant level of training involved before people can carry a handgun. Moreover, I think CCW permit applicants should be subjected to thorough background scrutiny to keep guns out of the hands of maniacs like Jared Loughner and the guy at Virginia Tech. When tragic incidents like those occur with deranged people using legal guns, it amps up the hue and cry of the anti-gunners, thereby hurting all of us.

I would love to connect with you guys, especially if it were somewhere other than Rutt's Hut

Great story! And BTW, I think I'm probably older than all of you.

Thanks for that info.

Great gun! Good luck with yours. Hope you love it as much as I do mine.

Wombat, awesome post! Wish I had seen it before I grilled you about this at GFH a few days ago.

Wombat, good description of the weekend. I agree that it would definitely have been helpful to have taken Simunitions first (I've taken UP1 and UP2), as I was experiencing some serious information overload. I would highly recommend this class to anyone with a CCW permit. The scenarios were great, and quite instructive. Good to see you as well.

Yes, I believe it's the larger mag capacity that leads many people to choose the G19 over the 17. If you're interested in a larger gun, since we can't carry anyway, why not consider going to the G34? I have one and I love it.

See you up there!

Nice shooter! Good luck with it.

Looks like a good movie. I'm going to try to join you guys for this. Krdshrk, you're quite the activities director around here!

For some reason, it just popped into my head yesterday that if it weren't for this show, I never would have thought to have included my firearms cleaning materials when I bug out for the zombie apocalypse. It didn't even look like they did very much shooting, but they were sitting around cleaning their guns. Maybe it was just something to do to pass the time, or a chance for Shane to get closer to that blond babe (whose name escapes me), since he's not schtupping Rick's wife anymore. Seems like we should coordinate efforts on that, as there's no sense in each of us lugging around a kit when we could just share them.

I'm good for Tues.-Thurs. (and possibly Friday), but does it have to be a place that specializes in deep fried hot dogs?

Nicely done, sir!

Wombat, nice review. I've taken both of those courses (UP 1 twice, because I'm a slow learner), and you summarized the experience very well. I'm looking forward to UP3, which I believe will be scheduled in the spring. Just curious, did Joe and Chuck give Mrs. Wombat preferential treatment, or did they holler and yell at her like they did to the rest of us?

Started shooting last February. Since then, I've taken: GFH First Steps Shotgun GFH Personal Protection in the Home GFH Urban Pistol 1 (twice, I'm a slow learner) GFH Urban Pistol 2 GFH Low Light NRA Basic Pistol (a grueling 12 hour ordeal) MDTS Combative Shotgun 1&2 Planning on taking a lot more training this year.

So that's the mysterious new range in West Paterson (Woodland Park)! That's great news.

Congratulations! And I must say, you have a nice hand!

Just went back to re-read this thread, and noticed that I somehow missed the tip about the store in Whippany. Coincidentally, it looks like it's not far from RTSP Range. I'll definitely check it out in the near future. To HavocMan trying to get to New Hampshire in the event of trouble, it looks like if you head north, not only can you get past the Hudson, but you would also be heading away from trouble, instead of into it, as you would if you went through NY, CT, and MA.

This is a great reference. It will save me from having to count on my fingers every time!

I know Van Drew (he was a classmate of mine), and I believe his rationale was that if he could show his fellow legislators that his proposal would put some money in the state coffers, it would have a better chance of getting some support. He did, as someone noted, re-submit the bill with just a $100 fee. The argument that we should not have to pay for a right seems pointless, given that we don't have that right anyway here in NJ

Coincidentally, I started a similar thread last year: http://njgunforums.com/forum/index.php?/topic/24075-hickok-45-videos/page__hl__hickok45__fromsearch__1 And yes, I would love to have access to a private range like his.

If you find that you like your G34 (and I'm pretty sure you will), you might consider getting a G35 (.40 S&W). I have both that and the 23 (not gen. 4), and I find the 35 much easier and more fun to shoot.
