Yes, renting a firearm and buying ammo in public ranges are expensive,that's how they subsidize their range and pay the specialized insurance required when .....let's say some nut decides to off himself with a rental gun. Firearm rentals cannot be considered a necessity or ammo a vital staple that can be "Gouged" so call them expensive,call them overpriced,call them profiteers but they are not Gouging you.

Could you please elaborate on how ranges "gouge" on rentals of guns and the sale of ammo?

That might be a bit of a exaggeration....If it is solely a case where a LEO is just checking you and the OC firearm out it'll never get to a judge. Questioned perhaps but I don't believe it will go as far as an arraignment...unless of course you wish it to

Actually I think it makes perfect sense. A common household 9 to 12 quart metal, airtight container with a convenient hole in the cover ? seem to me to be perfect for the task.

I also gathered that from what I read but my primary purpose was the ability to carry my snubby with .357 rounds while out on the trail and around the cabin. I'm not anticipating parading through some little hamlet packing on the way to the grocery.

I've shot a rental Gen 2 as well as a friend's Gen 3 and neither felt "right" so I'm interested in the Gen 4 with the choice of backstraps to accommodate my rather small hands. but still hear of the issues some have with the newer gun. I would like to own a Glock one day but neither of the ones I shot grew on me.

Patriots day and now reporting 2 other devices were found

I expect no less from FOX news and still wonder why some use them for their primary source of current news.

Good advice....let's not quote some questionable news sources before all the so called reporters stop stumbling over themselves.

Is the common opinion that the Gen 3 Glocks is still considered the best of the bunch or was it just a case of FTNG?

I personally believe that the internet and the anonymity it offers has contributed to growing cadre of faceless complainers. If I have an issue with a business of any sort, I seek out whoever is in charge and lodge a complaint.....politely,succinctly and as discreetly as I can as I've been on the other side of that conversation many a time and appreciate the opportunity to make it right or at the very least..... listen.Sometimes all a person wants is someone to listen when they feel slighted. Now if the valid complaint, and let's not kid ourselves here...we all know if the complaint is valid or if we're just being Dicks.is met with disdain or disbelief then you have every right to shout it from the roof tops. To not offer a business the opportunity to first make it right before anonymously skewering them on some forum is just not good form IMHO.

Their shipping fees have always been among the highest for on line stores and I've questioned their break down on 2 occasions, the best answer I received was a feeble "we are competitive with other company's and we get it to you faster". I only order from them if it the last resort.

NASCAR's viewership and popularity has it's peaks and valleys but still has a large following although it has been decreasing as of late and is likely to suffer a long, slow death. As for "mainstream" that would depend on your audience and which part of America you're in....

Indeed...right turns while under the influence of a suitcase of Miller Lite can prove to be quite challenging after a NASCAR event.

I'm beginning to see that....and that's why I chose to ask you gentlemen. Between NJ and neighboring states firearms laws I get confused....

...he may have ate it alone but the repercussions of his selfish act will affect us all...

I expressed in a previous tread that their sponsorship of the race was basically preaching to the choir and nothing more than an expensive fund raiser and membership drive... no minds were going to be changed or fence sitters convinced with this stunt. Well apparently one of the choir members was harboring thoughts of suicide and succeeded in becoming the dysfunctional poster child for both the NRA and NASCAR as well as the fodder for many an anti firearm article to come.

I've told my story before but my first firearm was a Sig Sauer P250 compact 9 mm which I bought after doing much research and firing many guns to only be proved a fool. I chose the gun thinking that it was firstly a Sig and came with all the attributes associated with the brand.Light weight,double action trigger so safe in any hand.ability to change platforms,calibers and size without having to apply for more P2P's and price, which was quite reasonable for a gun I was only going to keep in a drawer unless my home is violated....... Several problems. The wife found it difficult to rack the slide so she hated it. The light weight produced muzzle flip, so groups was not the tightest. DA trigger sucked. Conversion kits and mags was practically non existent and astronomically priced when available. ...and the final fatal feature was that when I purchased it I didn't realize I would be hooked on the shooting sports and a orphan DA,light weight,long triggered bargain Sig was not going to cut it. and that's my first 9. My best 9 however is the CZ 75B.

Any idea for how long it will be valid in Pennsylvania? I keep seeing right here on this forum that Pennsylvania is disallowing several state's CCW permits as of late. I normally wouldn't care much but I have an opportunity to buy in on the cabin we're visiting in May and want to assess my options.

Damned if I know...I just Googled Open carry in Pensky and sought out the most recent articles or blogs on it and there it was... I'm not one to OC but if we're on a trail somewhere in the woods I want to be able to at least have the option of carrying a firearm.

Pennsylvania is indeed an open carry state, with Philadelphia being one of the states few exceptions. I checked it out on line even before I started this tread so my question was aimed at answering if a Jersey resident only renting a summer cabin had the same ability to transport and carry as a local. Sorry it's been 22 years but you are indeed able to open carry as long as you are of age and have no legal restrictions.

....in one fell swoop Mr Franklin negated what little positive impact a NRA sponsored NASCAR race could have possibly garnered...

Thanks mipafox... that's exactly what I was looking for. The Jersey side I'll take care of as I fully intend to take the wife to a range on the Pensky side before heading home... so that will hopefully satisfy the authorities in the event of a stop.

So if I understand you correctly....it's kosher to take it to the Poconos just as long as I transport it correctly { unloaded,gun and mags separate} but my potential issue is a possible stop in NJ if I can't prove a Pennsylvania gun range visit?
