Duppie

Composed and dropped off a short letter to the Chief of Police along with my 2 remaining permits to satisfy Monroe Township's requirement for an extension. A young lady at the info desk explained that the letter should include a brief explanation as to why I needed the extension. When I asked for the same extension in East Brunswick no such letter was needed and the signed permits with the new dates was mailed to me several days later. Is this a common requirement or just another instance of towns making up their own rules?

....and there's the arrogance and attitude we're referring to.... serve the public? most of the time?Human Garbage? really? you really should have heeded Old School's advice instead of outing yourself. and you were doing so well too but it was just a matter of time, your past posts display a history of such.

Even back in the early 80's I had 3 young associates attending John J and they took their tests with in excess of 12k applicants so the premiss that no one wants such a thankless profession even then just does not stand up to the smell test.

The item that {forgive me} stood out was the "XXL tactical package supporter". From a zombie marketing stand point,I personally would feature it in black perhaps with protective studs or MOLLE straps for affixing a neck knife. Could also cross market it to the emo and S&M crowd....

Well Gentlemen...so much for that. I never really expected my questions to air but we live in eternal hope especially in this state.I'll post if the governor's staff does get back to me but I'm not holding my breath.....

I own the Taurus 605 .357 with a 3 inch barrel in satin stainless primarily as a HD firearm and have fired over 400 rounds now without an issue of any kind. It's a small gun and with .357 loads can be quite a handful but still quite manageable. I wished ,however that I had chosen as my first revolver something with actual sights but I'm rectifying that soon.

Was finally able to get through and lodged my questions and was told that it would be taken under consideration and approval however because of all the questions that is likely to be asked the Governor's staff may have to answer some questions by email or snail mail if necessary.We'll see.

Could you possibly find them for me please?

If he has I didn't hear it. You can tune in on your laptop or on your smartphone and I believe it's on at 7pm.I keep speed dialing but can't get through as yet.

Governor Christie is on Ask the Governor this evening on NJ101.5 with their news director. I'm attempting to register my question about his opinions pertaining to CCW and banning of certain bullets in NJ. Lines are jammed but I'll keep trying.

No argument there but I'm sure that you as well as I have read of and perhaps experienced that one customer service rep who for what ever reason, be it lack of training and supervision,attitude,indifference,hunger,laziness or disinterest is just a mirror image of the manager or owner's training and views. Yes we understand it is a challenging and difficult business but by creating a unfriendly shopping climate, who does it serve? and by complaining to the very people who have created such a business environment, does it not seem like an exercise in futility?

I feared as much and not surprised.

Forgive me, but what does that mean and what possible impact does it have on the law as it was originally written.

No harm/no foul....I want so much to patronize my local gun shops and I don't mind paying a bit more in order to keep them in what has proved to be a very challenging business but I like to believe myself a informed customer and as such I find it difficult to abide arrogance,ignorance and sloth,so other than a very satisfying relationship with Ira at Legend, I tend to do business on line.

Apparently Mike's made enough profit for that day.......

Coastal Texas to avail of their gun laws,access to the gulf and all that it offers for half of the year and the Philippines for it's gun culture and proximity to Hong Kong,KL and Singapore's emerging markets and excellent food.

Rest assured,you'll get no argument from me as I experienced the same policy and dismissive attitude just over a year ago when I attempted to shop for my first firearm.That topic has also been discussed extensively on this forum,the general consensus was that ,as is the case with many laws pertaining to firearms in NJ,most are confusing and convoluted, some are misinterpreted,some are unnecessary,and some only exist in the minds of the lazy and ignorant.There have also been much discussion about patronizing what few firearms related stores there are in NJ lest we lose them to the larger internet retailers and the pros and cons of their customer service. In summery, I agree with you and if you stick around you'll find that most,at least on this forum do too.

I would very much like to see that statute.

That's just it...you don't. The best explication I've heard and subscribe to is that respective salesmen will not show you a firearm unless they know you have a FID because it displays an ability to purchase even if a PPP is not apparent. Saves them potential time and effort showing firearms to people who do not have the ability to buy.

You do know you're linking The Onion,a comedy site?

Hire a independent mover to take your stuff down to Florida and you trailer the boat down with the Pontiac.It's going to cost you in cash or your stuff either way so you might as well have all your belongings with you.

Yes the young lady being assaulted with the bottle on her head is wearing a Norwegian flag on her sleeve but the flag is backward and as far as I remember the Norwegian's never issues those camos.

I agree,there's nothing that I can think of that would be worth the possible physical harm,legal issues and lingering doubt or guilt in my house other than my family members if I should encounter such a scenario. Belongings can be replaced.

I was at the range yesterday and thank goodness I was not guilty of any of the example given but it took time and constant vigilance by not only myself but all the professional RO's I've encountered. I've been guilty, as I'm sure most of us have ,of many of these lapses of judgment and training. I now make it a point to drop my mag and clear my weapon locking the slide open even when checking shot placement. All my firearms are locked open, facing downrange while reloading,resting or just BS'ing with fellow shooters. Not always the case when I look around and gives pause,I'm sure not only to me but most of you as well.
