Duppie

I spear fish.... It's a force of habit.

Just read that the modified Castle Doctrine was approved in PA.A triumph in my opinion but will we in New Jersey see the options to defend ourselves,loved-ones and property without having to flee ever come about?

I've been using and traveling with the all stainless Zebra F-701 for years and have never been questioned.

New here too, you'll enjoy the forum and learn a lot too. Welcome.

Thanks but I already have and really like it, got it 2 months ago for about $335.00 and 2 extra mags for $32.00 each.

one black in xl, how do I go about paying?

Many years ago when I first moved to New Jersey from NYC,I bought a pellet pistol with a shoulder stock to eliminate some squirrels who had a habit of chewing through my telephone wires and using my attic as a small woodland animal bordello.At that time I never considered it to be a firearm to be regulated by any state agency, It has also traveled by car several times to the Keys and back on vacations to participate in our annual beer bottle bulls eye competitions. In retrospect, what would have happened if stopped on the NJ turnpike?

I have seen this within my own family, My brother who has lived in Scandinavia for the past 30 years and has been subjected to what amounts , at least in my mind, Anti American propaganda and I have had heated conversations on gun culture in Europe and the US. Taking into account that the country of our birth has mandatory military service and you are required to store your issued firearms at home until age 40, I could not understand the anti firearm fervor until I began really reading the many newspapers and listening to local newscasts.

"Lead, from hundreds of years of hunting waterfowl is poisoning our water" I kid you not, I read it some where on a NRA piece or lead free bullet press release and couldn't help but think of all the other things we're dumping into our water ways and lakes.

Well said, and while I agree that there is a underlying history of demonizing firearms in the popular press, at what point does it become repetitive and stop selling newspapers? We have increasingly become a society suffering from ADD with the attention spans of your common house fly so at what point does the mass shootings,or drive by's begin to bore us and we instead look for the opposite?. The Florida beauty queen, however flawed the story may be,being one.

Not so much a question as an observation.As a news junkie it was painfully obvious that the so called mainstream media devote an inordinate amount of ink {or is it bytes now} to just about every story where a firearm was used to commit a crime but little or no coverage of a positive firearm story. I am reminded of this when the incident of the Florida Beauty Queen and her pink revolver hit the news, but in retrospect it's only a story because 1:She's rather easy on the eyes. 2:The pink revolver. 3:The comic ostentation of the couple and their house. 4:The wiff of "something more is going on here than meets the eye". After living abroad quite recently it was also obvious that the foreign media is even worst, where every fire arm incident in the US is used as an illustration of our inevitable fall into oblivion/chaos/hand baskets and hell. Especially at a time where Europe was experiencing an especially violent period.{Riots in France,Italy and Greece.knifing's and shootings in the UK.Terrorist cells in Scandinavia} Some of you that read this will properly ask under which rock did I call home? and I am all too aware of our liberal press but it truly hit home when I opted to be a gun owner. What do you think?

If you find it please let me know also.

That's what I thought. I just ordered $160.00 of ammo in 9mm and 38 and while I didn't notice any blurb about additional shipping cost,I did catch that they do put down the name of the picker that pull your order and the same person pulled everything on mine. So I guess my stuff was all in one place.

My eye aren't what they used to be......

Is that Canadian or Euros in the Bud lite photo? I'm guessing Canadian. Bud lite and real Pizza is sorely lacking in Europe. Unless of course it was taken on a US military installation.

Take up scuba next for the trifecta of gear intensive past times.

Check out LA Police gear for their Bail out bag at $19.99, carries all of my gear and then some.Sportsman guide and Midway has just about everything else but Midways shipping is somewhat more expensive.

It was only a temporary set back, I then did some more homework, visited other gun stores, went shooting with a friend in Maine and finally settled on the types of guns I was comfortable with. I met Ira at Legend Firearms who was a great help and the gentlemen at Shore Shot and NJGF. So here I am.

I know what you mean, but the thing is I went in there fully prepared and eager to purchase a firearm,ammo and what ever else I needed to maintain it. I had waited a long time for my permits and did my research so I pretty much knew what I wanted,what to pay and the procedure pertaining to showing and handling a firearm. But after that experience coupled with some of what I've read on this and other forums only reinforced the fact that attempting to exercise my 2'nd amendment rights in this state was not going to be easy. He really took the wind out of my sails.

The shorter gentleman? He fancies himself a ball buster and is all too happy to tell you so. Tall on tales, short on actual information. He neglected to inform me that there was a 50% off the second box sale on Remington range ammo several weeks ago when I ran in for some 9mm and I only found out when I went to investigate some small sales signs on the ammo cages. But by far my worst experience was at the Sayerville Sportsman which at the time was one town over from me. I visited right after receiving my permits with the intent of actually purchasing a basic 38 special for home protection.As soon as you walk in you have the vibe that this is not a friendly place, No greeting,no eye contact,no enthusiasm, no nothing.... OK I'll deal. Pulled out my card and pistol permit and asked to see a S&W snub nose which was grudgingly handed over after intense scrutiny of my paperwork.I really liked it but was shocked at the asking price and then asked to see a Taurus snub nose, to which he replied Why do you want that piece of crap for? You mean the piece of crap YOU have in YOUR showcase? Surprised but undeterred I told him I was in the market for a simple firearm for home defense for both myself and my wife. Big mistake. Does you wife have her permit? Not yet. Come back when she does.... and then he grabbed the guns and put them back in the showcase. Apparently he was the owner and was all to happy to ramble on about how long he's been in business, and what hardships he has as a gun dealer in NJ. All in all not a very positive experience with my first NJ gun dealer.

Priceless!! Thank you for the belly laugh . I remember it was Jovan Musk and unabashed begging back in my day.

I'm certainly intrigued... and pray tell what does the range smell like on these nights?

Your thoughts? I know it's a Sig "starter" gun but what are your opinions?

It took me 4 months for my card and 2 pistol permits late last year in EB.While speaking to one of the young ladies at the application office she said that there was a huge backlog and longer wait because of staffing cuts.

Excellent information but one question, I was under the impression that the whole probable cause edict was somewhat watered down for the lack of a better term, and could, in some circumstances, be super-seeded by a myriad of national security/anti terrorism laws?
