Duppie

The online poll attached to the station's website is overwhelmingly pro but probably not going to be mentioned,Jim is not much of a aficionado {mag called a clip} and conveniently "runs up against the clock" when a lucid pro gun caller finally gets through.

Exactly, while I not out to pursue a bromance while shopping for a firearm,I would like it to be similar to a visit to one of my favorite restaurants.Greet me,tell me the specials,give me some advice on what's good today,serve me efficiently,don't hang over my shoulder,charge me a fair price and not only will I return but I'll tell all my friends. Yeah I know a gun shop is not a restaurant and has it's own unique challenges but customer service is the same regardless of what you're selling.If I value you,your business,your integrity and you respect me as someone that will spend not an insignificant amount of money in your store,I have no problem with you charging more.But charge me more for the privilege to treat me like shit?and you can go fugg yourself.

In the year I've been a member of NJGF,I have grown to anticipate and value your posts but we are on the opposite poles on SS. I am glad, as are you, that you are among the chosen ones and hold Joe in such high regard. I and many before me realize that the man is a mental deficient and/or lacking enough social skills to survive outside of his dusty, disorganized realm. He is indeed "special", your word not mine.I envy you your hot coffee,cold water,and sympathetic ear but would much rather a fair price,honest and knowledgeable sales help and above all fair and even service by a lucid proprietor/owner.

Revisiting this thread after all this time and reading that these issues persists just begs the question....How is Sayerville Sportsman still in business?Are there so many myopic "Friendlies and Fuds" attracted to this clearly flawed business and proprietor to maintain itself? I remain puzzled.

No I don't have kids and I have one gun on each floor as recommended by a LEO neighbor in order to have easy access.It's akin to having the baseball bat by the front door for some people. Prepared yes, paranoid no.To consider carrying while in my own abode is, as BD104X so succinctly put it is to become "a prisoner in my own home".You obviously don't see the difference between the two and that's okay. We all find our own comfort level.

I agree,my guns are loaded and strategically placed on various floors but to carry in my own home just seems to me to smack of paranoia or perhaps it's time to move.

Try as I might,I can't seem to comprehend the need to CCW in your own home,Is the neighborhood and by default your property so insecure that you would feel the need to carry a weapon in the confines of your house?.I mean no disrespect but just by asking for opinions, would mean to me, at least that perhaps your time would be better served researching a better area to raise your family. No? In such time that it takes to do so consider the implications of what your children will undoubtedly experience and remember by you or your mate carrying...and they will regardless of how careful and canny you are.

Thank you for clearing up the misunderstanding, but perhaps a basic training program or cheat sheet would be wise considering the convoluted gun laws in NJ? No hostility just a humble suggestion.

Thanks, That's actually not bad considering their competition.Now I have to find a way to justify more Ammo to the Wife after picking up 1500 round with PSA recently.

They have some good prices, what's their shipping look like?

I put Stabil in the 2 jerry cans of petrol I keep in the garage but rotate it out every year,drinking water every 6 months and basically check on expiration dates on everything else the same time I replenish the water.You'll most properly never need most of the stuff in your BOB but we were forced to basically Bug out last year due to massive flooding and 6 days of no power after the hurricane and while we had ample time to leave,I would hate to be put in a position where I'd forgot something or didn't have enough time to pack it in an emergency situation. And no the guns stayed securely locked up at home.

I would think twice about this group....they're liable to shoot back.

Well yeah...I try not to get all doomsday scenario about it but most agencies that deal with the aftermath of a disaster,natural or otherwise urges you to have one.I grew up in Hurricane and earthquake country and we always had a rudimentary BOB and supplies.

Let me explain.... we like to accumulate "stuff" especially if we can justify an additional cool black bag or back pack in the event that we may have a 1 in 50k chance of needing 1/10'th of what's inside some fateful day. It's apparently a "Guy" thing, like buying that obscure tool at the local Sears because Someday!!!Someday!!! we're going to buy and restore that 69 Corvair and the tappets needs adjusting.Well we buy,catalog,inventory and photograph our "stuff" because if that day comes where we actually do need it, we will hoop and holler and just might pass you on the side of the road without your "stuff" and feel vaguely superior. Understand?

There were several threads on BOB's but we're in the season of hurricane ,blackouts, floods and according to some "The Zombie Apocalypse"so perhaps an updated thread is warranted. I keep a LAPG bail out bag ready to go with some of the items needed for a urban/ suburban 72 hour survival scenario. $150.00 in small bills and quarters. Thumb drive with passport ,visas,prescription,Insurance,driver's,living will,FID,P2P,credit card and basic information scanned. Extra prescriptions. Basic toiletries. Travel burner. BIC Lighters and firestarter. Metal water bottles. Water purification system and tablets. Leatherman multi tool. Fixed blade. Small fishing kit. Compass. Thermal blankets. Water tite storage bags. Plastic tarp. First Aid kit. Batteries. 3 days of freeze dried emergency rations. Head lights,flashlight,florescent sticks. Crank shortwave radio and charger. Extra storage IPhone batteries. Hip flask of cognac. Slim Jims,energy bars,Jolly ranchers. 2 mini road flares. Duct tape,zip ties,parachute cord. SAS survival guide, map of Middlesex county. 2 way radios with a 10 mile radius. I keep my range bag ready to go so all I have to do is load my hand guns if necessary,2 10 gallon Jerry cans of petrol in the garage with stabilizer added, 2 gallon containers of drinking water and basic tools along with a charged jump pack. The wife's ride is a proven 4wd and we're ready to go.

Wikipedia? You're basing part of your argument on something you read on Wikipedia?.....well that tears it...must be true then.

......there you go again...... There is a convenient sticky on the right hand side of the main forum page, there you will find a simplified but comprehensive overview of NJ gun laws. Perhaps you should take the time to scan it.

Remembering this thread while I was at SS this afternoon, I offered a couple of mags and my CZ to a young couple shooting a rental .22 the next lane over. The young lady had heard of SS and their rentals from a client and surprised her Boyfriend with a visit for his birthday and they were having a great time. I chatted with them for awhile and gave them the basics on obtaining a FID and P2P as well as NJGF for any additional questions. After 1 mag each,I could see they were hooked and it felt good to pay it forward,no instructions other than safety and mechanics and I let them go to town.....I think two more into the fold and all is right with the world.

I haven't bought from CTD in quite awhile and you just reminded me why......

I saw Cheaper than Dirt has PMC 9mm for $9.99/50 and .40S&W for $13.09/50 but can't remember if they still ship to NJ.

Sam's Club parking lot, Tennessee tags, Might be a meth or gun deal gone sour?

I traveled to Maine several months ago with my guns to visit a friend and do some shooting. I did my due diligence,transported in a locked case and had a great time.No stress or over thinking. Sometimes we're the source of our own misery.

Huh?????

I agree. PSA accomplished what they set out to do with this sale and free shipping summer. Moved a lot of inventory,made new customers, created goodwill in the shooting community and basically put their name out there.There will always be those individuals who will never be pleased,whether it be pricing,shipping,selection,color,smell,texture,taste. That is the price of doing business with the general public, even if they conveniently forget that shit happens on their watch also. I for one will now always check PSA first for my gunning needs even if I buy elsewhere and that was the whole idea......Wasn't it?
