Duppie

We will just have to wait and see how many more of these incidents occur before someone says enough. I believe there was an article where a NY democrat no less,back peddled and asked why essentially ruin these people's lives for seemingly abiding by the law as they understood it.,however naive they were to NYC's gun laws.

if that be the case then the powers that be has found some very dedicated and focused individuals. The specter of possible long jail sentences,loss of income and the rigors of a drawn out court case would be enough to scare away all but a hardy few.Not to be conspiratorial but if a well financed and organized group wanted to use NYC and it's well documented hard stance on CCW as a test case,offered some motivated citizens with clean back grounds and of the right demographics a financial and historical incentive to be participants......It would be feasible, No?

I don't see it...You would be hard pressed to find anyone more clueless as myself even after the basic NRA course when I first started going there.Signed up,accepted some friendly tips and hints from the RO's,shopped around,asked questions,held a lot of guns and not once did I feel I was being talked down to by the staff. Perhaps because I admitted I was a new shooter and was open to any and all suggestions as opposed to a more experienced shooter who may have had a different slant on the staff?

I believe it depends on when you choose to go, I'm off on Tuesdays and some Fridays and in the year I've been shooting at SS, I have yet to wait for a port. Can't speak for weekends when shooters as far away as the Bronx apparently show or late nights when clubs and members shoot however. As for the safety, I was gently but firmly reminded of the rules when I first began going and have not witnessed any infractions since.

Yeah, I believe this Doug person was not thinking clearly. If it is as you say, there is not one retailer who will alienate a customer who has spent as much money as you have over less than $20.00 regardless of the margin. Every online retailer knows the possible impact of a negative review or complaint.

Coming from a society where evening strolls through the neighborhood and visiting with friends unannounced was the norm,then moving to the big city where I think I saw the residents next door twice in 10 years and damned if I knew their names, I can relate. I answer any late night knock with a firearm within arm's reach and expect friends to announce themselves with a phone call. I am not proud but I am prepared.

In my short tenure on NJGF that has got to be the meanest/prettiest? AR's I have yet seen.....even if I have no idea exactly what I'm looking at. Very nice Sir.

As a former resident of EB,I applied for my initial FID and 2 PPP's there in late 2010. At that time they were not quoting any expected waiting periods but made it a point to explain at every opportunity that because of budget cuts there were half the staff and everything from inspections and licensing to FID's,PPP's was taking longer. In short my FID and permits took 4 months.I don't believe that permits will take as long especially since it's not your first ones but they are not motivated individuals IMO. Good luck.

I too was awake...but the only sound I heard was myself snoring.........wait.

Horse shoe puller.

If only I could but as it is my day has already been planned by my lovely but insistent bride to include several stops in North Jersey and an early dinner in Queens.Perhaps another time as I am curious to see the club and thanks again for the welcome from you and the rest of the gang last night.

Perhaps I was seeing things but the few times I was on that site it looked to me that the prices quoted were a few dollars higher that the same firearms dealer's web site.Maybe to help pay for Gunsamerica service and convenience?

Ironically I hit a possum last night driving home from SYF on a wet ramp....him or me.

Had a great time Gentlemen,Thank you for the welcome.

In passing, how will I recognize you all? Is there a uniform,mascot,flag,cat call,secret handshake?

I use the term breaking in loosely, I expect no defining moment or action that indicates to me that the firearm is now ready for any or everything but you must agree that even a finely crafted automobile or honed blade needs a period of time and use to perform optimally. I researched the CZ and asked many a question before purchase but just had to confirm that it was user rather than equipment error.I truly love this gun and going forward it made me appreciate the heft,feel and performance of a all steel firearm.

....and here I was thinking I totally missed out on the cool,manly,inside firearms lingo....

"penis the hammer"?....................OK,I'll bite.................figuratively, that is.

Thank you Gentlemen. I initially reasoned that it was a user, rather than a equipment issue but I had to be certain. Rest assured that my "slide riding" days are over.

Still in the process of breaking in my CZ75b and ran an additional 200 rounds through her at SS yesterday.I've noticed that unless I aggressively pull the slide back and release it , the slide sticks half way with the round showing, causing me to push the slide shut. The gun has now 450 rounds of several brands of ammo through her and I've cleaned and lubricated following Angus Hobdell's recommendations Is this a normal occurrence and will it diminish over time and use?. I'm new to this but I had no such issues breaking in my Sig.

I'm rather wary of beers that is advertized with a needed squeeze of lime or lemon in order to be palatable. Not a fan of Corona,Sol either. I rarely drink beer now but I really like Stone IPA's, especially the Ruination IPA. Complex,great head and almost 9% alcohol.

Thanks....looking forward.

Gentlemen. I would like to attend if you wouldn't mind the questions and ramblings of a noob.It would be good to put faces to the names of the characters I've had the pleasure of reading for the past year that is if it's OK with you Gentlemen?.

My wife had a certain ambivalence towards firearms since she witnessed her Father and his friends doing some questionable stuff with them in her youth. However, that changed when we moved next to an LEO and his family, became fast friends and was impressed after seeing that his wife and both daughters was not only comfortable but quite adept with pistols,I worked strange hours as did my neighbor but he was confident that his family would not be victimized in their own home in his absence. After several trips to ranges and seeing that the shooting sports was largely a family affair she agreed to support the sport and us finally owning firearms.

I have to agree with your friend.
