Manufacturer: S&W Model:5906 Caliber:9mm

Had my eye on an original 1972 Mini Cooper 1350.... but I won't be able to fit more than 1 gun at a time in the booth

I drive either am estate wagon or SUV and since there is "access" is considered the same as a pick up. I transport my guns "secured in a gun case and my loaded mags and gear in a range bag. I also got the opinion of a state trooper on this method of transport and he said it was perfectly legal.

With the amount of firearms sold in the past few years and new gun owners crowding into what few and largely overburdened but profitable public ranges there are....I believe your question to be moot. The question instead should be, do I have the Patiences,finances and wherewithal to proceed with such a venture? Rather like the field of dreams......build it and they will come.

Gentlemen. please read the breakdown on NJ Firearms laws on the lower right corner of the main Forum page. It will explain in plain language the do's and dont's. Loaded mags as long as they are of NJ legal capacity and transported properly are perfectly legal.

The Gentleman is wrong.

1.Are you sure it was the Local Police? How? 2.What questions did they ask? 3.Could it be a scammer or prank? I would call back the Chief and ask if he is aware of any calls such as the one you received and if the answer is yes, to what end?

Tracer rounds to encourage burning bushes I think with back up from Mosin armed apostles.

As a good Catholic boy I find this new topic somewhat blasphemous and titillating at the same time....... sort of like checking out pretty nuns.

Ah......went all New Testament on me......

Excellent topic.......I see something Old School but devastating, a blunderbuss perhaps or a Gatling strapped to a donkey or even an Uzi.....converted of course.

Makes sense.....However my feeling is, If I can't neutralize a possible threat in my own home with a mag of 10 to 15 JHP rounds...... I should not have a firearm in the first place. I fear you're over thinking it and I'm positive there will be others that disagree but get one for HD and the balance will come naturally after time. I have a .357 for primary HD so my wife can effectively use it and the others while always loaded are just for fun.

To reiterate on the points Malsua made. Get some range time with both calibers and while you're at it on both all steel and polymer guns. Each preforms differently as you can imagine. I started out with 9mm polymer guns and now own all steel, I also now find that I like shooting .38 and .357 caliber but it can get expensive. I guess it all comes down to personal preference but you won't be able to make a choice suitable to you until you've shot all the options. Good luck.

No longer a EB resident but my very first round of permits took 4 months in 2011,now a friend who is still a resident has been waiting since November 22'nd but has received past permit in as little as 3 weeks. There is no rhyme or reason I'm convinced, it's pretty much when they get around to it......

I'm in the same boat, perhaps a little better off. I want to keep about 4 to 5 k between 3 calibers on hand and am at the 4 k mark but to go shooting would mean a drop in count with serious money these days to replenish so I just don't go. I'm a little OC,cheap and a hoarder.....not a good combination.I am looking forward to a trip to Montreal next month where I hit Gander Mountain and Walmart in Plattsburg on the way back.....if there's anything left to buy that is.

Common Chicken....readily available,easy to catch and very tasty when fried properly.

That may be quite difficult to get past shareholders.....not many would forgo profits on moral grounds unless they have the benefit of limitless wealth and a highly defined sense of fairness....and even then.

Seriously?.....ever heard of breach of contract?

Now that is tragic........

The Bill is not law yet....and the Governor is in a tenuous position having to explain lost jobs to a state that can ill afford it. My opinion remains that to have change,bombarding manufacturers with ineffectual letters and petitions threatening a boycott of their product is not as rewarding as having them consider a move with their revenue and jobs to a more attractive and welcoming state.

I have indeed read about the Magpul incident and Colorado have already conceded with an amendment to allow manufactures including Magpul to continue to produce mags with a capacity of 15 rounds or more as long as it is sold to states with no restrictions. Magpul on the other hand have yet to commit as I suspect they are waiting to consider other offers and opportunities. So you see Colorado in effect....blinked and was not prepared to allow jobs or voters to be lost.

.....as an option for a potential firearm friendly state for a company to move to or as a state willing to lose jobs and voters?

Agreed...but I must ask. Is that the case?. I am unfamiliar with the actual percentage of primarily long gun hunters that show a willingness to sacrifice us on the"altar of gun control"and naive to any rational gun owner that would actually think that if not an outright ban,a stricter law and eventual registration of hunting rifles is not on the agenda. Am I being foolish in this respect?

.....perhaps an friendly overture might start by not calling them Fudds?

There you are......If a firearms or accessory company is increasingly beleaguered by their home state laws and politicians,why take it out on a cross section of the public that depend on your product sometimes for their lives? They didn't pass the laws even if some have already drunk the Coolaid. Better to show their politicians that the business and the jobs associated with it is welcomed elsewhere and see just how fast they capitulate. I know of no state that is willing to lose jobs and the votes that go along with it.
