Guns getting scarce?!
I shop ammunition almost every night and can say for sure 223/5.56 is getting hard to find. Its out there, but not a lot. Look at cabela's, sportsmans guide,midway, Natchezz and there is a fraction in stock and most say back order. I have even seen back order till October for some 5.56. People are buying in panic due to the upcoming elections, happened last time. Stock up while you can since when it is available again in large quantities, the price will have risen.

Monmouth County Rifle Pistol Club?
I was accepted as a member there at the last meeting in March. I did the online application and thought no one had gotten it. As it turns out I was contacted about a safety orientation meeting which I attended and was accepted and shot there today. Nice club, nice people.

Thats my exact idea. I'll go up and see what she actually has, see what I may want and if need be take her to a dealer.

Done with Dicks Sporting Goods
Typically I had been going to the Stafford Dicks, but had to go to Toms River today and thought the Brick store would probably have more selection since they have a bigger market. The bottom gun rack was full, and the top rack had on a few guns in it. I probably would have been better off making a trip to Stafford. I had $40 worth of coupons and gift certificate so I still didn't do to bad. I bought a case of 12 ga. and a case of .223 .

Gun Transfer from relative.
She is afraid of having the guns in her home. My nephew has no interest in them, so I will help her with them. Its no hurry, he died about a year ago and she would rather not hold on to them. She is not restricted. She is the typical women that when she finally sells her car, it will be 15 years old and only driven to church. She walks to her job. Thanks for the replies.

Done with Dicks Sporting Goods
Today is the first day of a ammunition sale at Dicks. Not much on sale, just a few items. I got to the Brick store and they tell me they have no Remington Gun club, no 9mm, but do have Federal Target Load. How do you have a sale and not even have the items in stock? I'm more than done buying there even if it means driving out of state to purchase.

Gun Transfer from relative.
I'm sure this has been brought up before, but here goes: My sisters husband died, - my brother-in-law. She wants me to take all his weapons. I know there are at least 3 shotguns for trap, a 22LR, and I believe 3 handguns. How do I make a legal transfer since he is dead and she doesn't have a FID? I can see the handguns being a problem since I haven't applied yet for a handgun permit. I may not want any of the guns, I have never seen them. She knows he shot trap so those I could use. Depending on what type of handgun, I may or may not want them. Can she take them to a gun shop and legally sell them? Thanks for the replies.

How much was Cabela's selling them for?

Carry Permit Legislation (A- 1493)
No one beside me has received the letter from their representative ? Did you really sign the petition ?
-
Sig Sauer 522 carbine
So far, this is the only brand I have seen, and no matter who sells it, it is the same price. http://www.samson-mfg.com/ar-15_html/category/Sig_522.html I like it, but recently have been shooting more 5.56 so the 22's have taken a back seat for now.

Carry Permit Legislation (A- 1493)
I have zero hope that legal gun owners in NJ will every get to conceal carry. The NRA knows it and won't waste their money pushing for it.

Carry Permit Legislation (A- 1493)
I received the letter today in response to signing the CCW petition for Senator Connors, Assemblyman Rumph and Assemblywoman Gove 9th District. The short version is- quote " In discussing this issue, we would be remiss if we did not point out the significant obstacles which prevent this legislation from even being considered in Committee, let alone signed into law". In other words ain't gonna happen. It also goes on to say "the Legislature, as currently composed, is unlikely to support right to carry". While not happy at all with this outcome, I do appreciate the letter from them. It shows that they have heard us and know we vote and won't go away with our demands.

Getting started in Archery?
Depends on what you want to do with archery. 2 of my kids are in 4H and shoot between clubs. We use recurve bows. There is a very good store (A&M) in Lakewood NJ that has a good selection or can order what ever you need. Mike takes the time to make sure you get the correct fit. We shoot at the 4H club, in our backyard and at WMA ranges. Recurve are nice to start out in and are around $125 +- depending on what you buy. Compound start out expensive $400 and up at the beginner level and go into the thousands for serious bows. Arrows can cost from $5 each and up. Four target shooting in the back yard I have 8 hay bales and a target in the middle.

Sig Sauer 522 carbine
You can add a rail later, IIRC about $159. I have thought about buying the rail several times but it doesn't make sense to spend that on the rail when the gun was only $479. I

Considering trying trap shooting - starter shotgun
I would call Dicks and ask their price. I first went to the Stafford store and it was out of stock, but the Brick store had plenty. I've seen Dicks sell them from $329 down to $269 on sale.

Considering trying trap shooting - starter shotgun
I shoot trap with a Remington 870 Express 26" barrel with an improved modified choke. If I were to start again, I would have bought the 28" barrel instead. I enjoy the shoot and do it every Sunday since early November and have shot all winter. Eventually I will move up to a better gun but I'm still shooting between 15 to 20 clay each round. I waited until I found a sale and bought it at Dicks for $299 and a $30 rebate. I also buy the remington club shoot # 8 2 3/4" and either 1 oz or 1 1/8oz . I buy it when Dicks has it on sale for $5.48 per box and use a $10 coupon so it ends up at $45 per case. One guy at the club has a 24K gun, but most others have an over/under that can go from $800 to $5,000. It is a very additive sport.

Where can we shoot our .22's???
I go to Stafford Forge WMA also. The last time I went it was mobbed, I think the weekend of Christmas. Normally it is nice and quiet. Just get a hunting license and make sure you bring it with you to the WMA you visit.

NJ ASSEMBLY COMMITTEE TO CONSIDER AMMO BAN & MORE!
My impression was the women were clueless to what they were signing in regards to both firearms and more importantly ammunition. When it was brought up that everyone in the room could agree that stiffer sentences for crimes committed by the low lifes that used guns in the commission of a crime made more sense, I think that gave pause to some of the assembly people.

NJ ASSEMBLY COMMITTEE TO CONSIDER AMMO BAN & MORE!
All I did was google NJ legislation for today's date, and I got to a site that had a place on it to "click to listen". since I'm at work I only listened to the last 15 minutes or so. I think they will change the wording to be more specific as what is banned. Many people pointed out it was to vague and all ammunition could be banned by whim. In the end, they decided to ammend the wording and try to pass it again. I think it is a short term victory but still a victory.

Parents make me sick
One year our den leader told us the kids were to do most of the work on the cars. All I did was polish the axels and help with the wheels. Car came out nice, but when we went to the pinewood derby the den leaders kids had a car that looked like a pro wood worker made it and a body shop painted it. Pissed me off but my son had a good time making it. From building these cars for 7 years in a row with 2 sons, I now have a band saw and a lead melting electric pot to put the weight exactly where we needed it. We won a few times but never wanted to move on and go to the big regional race.

How cold is too cold?
I shot trap yesterday and it was 19. First round my fingers were a little cold, second round I shot with no jacket as it was too bulky. The sun was out so it was that bad. I couple of degrees colder and I would have stayed home.

Trap/skeet/sporting Clays Gun
I use a Remington 870 for trap and do just fine. The range I go to only allows one shell in the gun, so you don't have to worry about a mis-fired weapon.

M&P 15-22
I use them in my 15 22 and Sig 522 with no problems at all. A little expensive!

generators
I have a 3500 Honda that is a little to small. We lost power Saturday night and first thing Monday morning went to Home Depot thinking there has got to be someone that bought a generator and returned it still in the box. Sure enought there was a Briggs & Stratton 5K returned at $599. Bought it, it ran the fridge and freezer along with lights for another 2 days until we got power back.
