O ok, she was worried about having to go through another process

Ok thanks. Any word on the change of address?

Hey guys, just another quick question. My mother has a .38 special, she and my father got divorced several years ago and she wants to pick up her gun but we are both unsure about the laws around this. Her only form of transportation is public and considering that I have a car I figured I would just be able to take her to pick it up in my vehicle. Can I pick it up by myself? Are there any new laws pertaining to how it should be transported? How do we do a change of address for the firearm? Thanks in advanced.

I think he means being taught in schools?

Yeh, I'm still having a bit of trouble deciding. It's just a lot of information to take in and most of my concentration has been on safety aspects. So only now am I really trying to figure out what's gonna be best for me. It's gonna have to be something between cost effectiveness and stopping power.

Thanks a lot Anthony, will be taking that into consideration

Perfect. I'll be in touch guys. As for not seeing anyone get their heads ripped off yet, I'm pretty sure they put themselves in that position. Either being disrespectful or acting like a know-it-all when you don't know anything. There are people like that on every internet community.

Well then pm me with what you have in mind. It's funny how the reputation of gun owners tend to be. I'm a parts of several forums ranging from cars, to hiking/camping, and this is by far the most welcoming site. Thanks a lot, all of u.

Old school- I'm not currently licensed in our state, would that be legal? If so I will be in contact, thanks for the offer.

Thanks for the clarification Mark.

Thank you grizz, im sure ill be pming you in the future considering that you have a law enforcement background. I'm sure you can understand why I'm trying to get some practice and training before the academy. Do you have any particular training facilities you can suggest in the northern nj area?

Thank you for the timely response. If getting carriers permits in those other states does not enable you to carry in nj then what is the point? As for your suggestions I will certainly take them into account before shelling out the cash on my final purchase. I really had been tossing the idea of the Glock 23 strictly because i would most likely be supplied with this gun as my service weapon, therefore this is the gun that I felt I should become most acquainted with. As for the 4 rules, I have them ingrained already lol, even at the range yesterday, before any research, I pretty much did that out of common sense. Thank you for the link to the class, I will be attending it at the first opportunity I get.

Hey guys and girls, I've been lurking around the forum since last night and have a few questions. I'm 21 years old, male, currently living in Hudson county. My first time shooting a gun was yesterday at a firing range in PA. due to the fact that I'm eligible for hire as a police officer in our state for the next two years I wanted to get my firearms permit to get some arms training before the academy. I'm sending in my applications sometime this week. I've decided on a Glock 23, from what I've been reading, its an extremely reliable gun and is seeing more and more use in the law enforcement fields. The pistol I was using yesterday was a 22, unfortunately I don't know the name of the gun but I was pretty disappointed in it. It was almost exactly like firing a pellet gun. I've also noticed that many nj residents are getting carriers permits from other states. Does that enable you to carry in our state? Also, I've been reading up on everything I possibly can, including gun safety around children, and in general, even though I don't have any children. I'd really like some good sources to become very educated about the firearm I'm trying to purchase as well as any other information I can possible get my hands on. I don't take this lightly at all. So any and all help, as well as some other guns that you guys may suggest, is greatly appreciated. Thank you.
