Old Glock guy

Any thoughts on whether having an NJ CCW permit will allow us to carry a loaded long gun in a trunk, or in the back of an SUV? Seems like it should now be OK.

It would not surprise me if internet dealers did not want to be burdened by these new regulations, and refused to ship to NJ. And BTW, what is the purpose of tracking large orders of ammo? The only people buying thousands of rounds are target shooters like us. Anyone bent on mayhem would only need (and be able to carry) a few hundred rounds, at most.

Two additional considerations that occurred to me: 1. Ammo: To the best of my knowledge, we are still not permitted to carry hollow point rounds in NJ, but I believe that polymer tipped expanding bullets like Hornady Critical Defense and Critical Duty have been ruled OK by NJSP. 2. Reciprocity: Even with an NJ CCW permit, one will not be able to cross the border into NJ, PA, or DE without having additional permits for those states, if we can even get them.

I carry a Springfield Armory XD Mod. 2 9mm subcompact when I'm in Florida. I will probably carry a similar gun (not Mod. 2) here, although I would also consider my G19 or G26. I guess one would need to decide in advance, as it seems our carry permit is restricted to one gun. Many of my shooting buddies in Florida have a G43X, which they all seem to like.

I'm a member at both GFH and CR, and I love them both. (Unlike with women, you don't have to pick only one.) The latter only costs $130 a year for my senior membership. There are no daily charges, so you can shoot there as long as you want, until you run out of time or ammo. My gold level membership at GFH is four times that, but it's a great range, the people are terrific, and it's comfortable when it's really cold outside. If you don't want to plunk down that kind of dough, you could just go and pay the daily fee, which I believe is $25 an hour for the 25 yard range, and a bit more for the 50.

JTW, thanks so much for starting this thread. It is quite helpful to discuss this as we all struggle to understand the new order in NJ that none of us ever could have imagined.

Me either. (I turned 70 last month.) Be sure to wear protective gear when you go out today, as liberal heads will be exploding all over the place! This is indeed a great day that I never thought I would see.

Shooters in Little Egg Harbor has an outdoor range that goes out to 150 yards that is open to the public.

Sounds like the only way this could work is if they had a comprehensive gun registry. I guess we already have one in NJ. Anyone know if the same is true in NY?

Sounds like you need a Glock in your collection. If you like full size, get the 34, which is 9 mm. It is fun and easy to shoot.

I've never understood the idea of holding someone at gunpoint. If they say, "Screw you," and walk away, what can you do to prevent them? Pretty sure you can't shoot them. Is it just a bluff?

Exactly!

It's frustrating that people who grandstand and make laws to regulate us make no effort to learn anything about guns and ammo. Here are some more examples: https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2022/05/certain_americans_reveal_their_second_amendment_illiteracy.html

I have a plate carrier with Level 3 armor, which will stop rifle rounds, but not armor piercing military grade rounds. I am not LE, and I really can't imagine when I would ever use it other than training classes and SHTF. I didn't want to spend the extra bucks for 3+, so I figure if I get nailed with an armor piercing round, I'm just really unlucky.

Same here. I was drinking Black Rifle for a few years, but I've switched over to Blackout in the last year or so. Good stuff!

Welcome aboard! You'll find lots of good information and good people here.

I've raised this point before, but it appears that leftist legislators are free to pass whatever oppressive laws they desire, and if those are eventually stricken down by the courts, those legislators suffer no consequences. They can just shrug their shoulders, and say, "Oh well, we tried." Am I wrong in thinking this?

Amen to that, brother!

This thread reminds me that for years, Zeke was everywhere. And then one day he wasn't around here anymore. He was like the Forest Gump of NJ Gun Forums.

I was in a gun store in Florida a couple of days ago, and the customers were a bit miffed that their NICS checks were backed up. It was taking up to 45 minutes.

Welcome to our gang. You will find plenty of great info and camaraderie here.

Wasn't Russian ammo banned here over six months ago?

While I only own one revolver, there is something esthetically pleasing about them, and that one is a beauty. Good luck with it! What is "pre-lock"?

I have used heavier paper targets from Action Targets at GFH with 00 buckshot, and they seem to hold up pretty well. Also, as long as you shoot at GFH, consider taking one of their Urban Shotgun classes, where you will get plenty of running and gunning.

It was 33 cents almost everywhere (in NY), and it remained there for years. It did not bounce up and down like it does now. (Yes, I know I'm old. See my screen name.)
