I don't like the Rags, and I don't like Philthadelphia. I guess Id rather have Philthy win, since many Rags fans I know are jerks whenever they can be.

$300 S&W .38's? I hate you all.

1 Family. Raised around them, so It became natural. Had I been raised Muslim, I'd be Muslim. Just my upbringing. 2 Killing paper targets. Tis fun, and .22lr is cheap. 3 SHTF

Went shooting today. Had a great time. Pistol shooting was fun and all I asked for. Range officer hung around when there were 20 people in the range because some massive group was there, and left when it was a few individuals who knew what they were doing. I was aiming for headshots after awhile and rapid firing with my rifle (.22 LR lever action, but still "rapid firing") and nobody said anything. They didn't even kick me off the range for staying an extra half hour since it was slow. I'll definitely be heading back. For $20 an hour at 5 minutes away, I wont complain. Beats the $300+ other places want for a membership. As for those complaining that EMS/Firefighters being treated like second class citizens, RTSP is doing you a favor by giving you a discount. I want LEO's and Military members to have easy range access because, IMO, most LEO's and Military don't get enough range time. My town Paramedics don't need to use firearms, so IMO, I don't see why they should get "special treatment" over the average citizen in a non-applicable field. I am not a "second-class citizen" to someone who volunteers their time serving their community.

I went to the same high school my parents did. In 1982 my dad was in the Rifle Club and shot 22LR in the basement of the school, in 2007 I stored my Lacrosse equipment in what was the range. Sad.

Yeah, a lot of people take the orange tips off. I did on my 1911 when I was younger and played airsoft. Playing airsoft was...interesting. Some people would be having fun, others would pretend they were GI Joe and pick fights. These were grown adults mixed in with 16 year old kids like myself at the time, btw. For kicks and giggles... the PRNJ was the last to legalize paintball. At one time, you would need an FID to buy them in the early 80's, and shooting someone on a paintball field carried the same charges for discharging a firearm. Good times.

I could cosmoline a Mosin and a spam can of 'x54R, bury them in a field, and have my grandkids shoot them.

Stroudsburg Walmart is where I am going to go from now on. They didn't even take my FID. If I was less broke I would have bought the collectors mini-crate of .22lr Winchester ammo for $25. Not a deal, but the box looked cool.

I am not inheriting any pistols, nor will I for the forseeable future unless I have a long lost uncle or something I dont know about. Anyway, one can legally inherit firearms as-is providing he or she is willed them or simply next in line. Anyway, say someone does indeed inherit a pistol and can legally own one, what paperwork ties them to that specific firearm? Reason being, It is a pretty smart idea to keep the pistol permit in your safe and a copy or two handy, but if its inherited how would an LEO know? Get pulled over, and you have a pistol in the trunk and an FID plus no other paperwork seems kinda fishy.

I am thinking about joining the club. Anyone have any expierence/thoughts?

Gunforhire-Go for it. If I can help in any way, PM me. Anselmo- Or youngins like myself.

Kershaw Leek. An excellent American-Made knife for an excellent price. I EDC one.

I am probably younger than most of you, just an FYI. I am 20. I don't really hide my gun ownership, I just don't tell people unless they ask. Many people my age are rather blind to gun ownership, either knowing nothing about it or wanting "an M16", "a AK47", or "a Glock", plus the few that talk about their dads/uncles/whoevers guns. FID ownership, IMHO, is very low unless raised in a pro gun house. Most of my friends assumed I own, since they consider me a "country boy" or whatever. I drive an old F150 and listen to everything (country included) so apparently I am a redneck and own guns. I dont mind. My coworkers know I own, since I work in a small retail store and they got sent paperwork for my FID. They might pick on me saying "do you believe they let HIM own guns?" but nothing offensive. It doesn't bother me. As for vehicle, I have an NRA sticker in my glovebox that my neighbor gave me. Too lazy/cold to clean my back window and put it on. I dont belong to the NRA yet (crappy retail job+college), but I will put it on soon. I have a bunch of stickers in my window for Edelbrock and Holley and the like so it wont be that noticeable. The gunrack I am getting soon will be very noticeable though.

I stopped in today to buy a gift card. They seemed like a nice place, but one guy working there seemed kinda grumpy when I asked if I could shoot steel cased ammo if I cleaned up after myself (answer was No, followed by "Revolvers only"). I found it a little funny that they were all openly carrying, which I have no problem with. Guess I am just used to PRNJ

Henry>Rossi They seem hella impractical to me though. You couldn't shoot it as a rifle and shouldered, and it would be a PITA to fire two handed. Kinda like holding an AR by the pistol grip with both hands and shooting.

Aguilar, wish I saw that before I left. I had a fun experience at Dicks sporting goods buying ammo. I go to the desk, wait 20 minutes, and someone finally shows up. Conversation goes like this: Him:Hi, what do you need? Me: I need two boxes of your cheapest .45, and Id like to see the Henry .22 if you dont have it. Him: Got FID? Me: Yes (hand over) Him: Got license? Me: Yes (hand over) Him: (checking license and FID thoroughly) I cant sell you the firearm, it says Apt. B on your FID and not on your license. Me: Fine. Ill take the .45 Him: its $60 for 250 (if I heard him right) Me: I want two boxes please. Him: what are you shooting? Me: Targets Him: What are you shooting? (again) Me: Targets at the range in randolph Him: From what Me: a 1911? Him: Sorry, cant sell it to you. Should have said pistol caliber carbine since you're 20. So I drove to PA. Guy was wearing a stupid blackhawks jersey anyway

Can you buy real lightbulbs in Canuckistan or Mexico?

Im in Morris County and I have been calling around. RTSP, Dover Sport Shop, and Ramsey Outdoor are all overpriced. I am on hold with Dicks Sporting Goods, but they are like HK Customer Service, and don't pick up their phones. I might drive to Stroudsburg Walmart for $17 Federal .45 I am not buying a whole lot, and I dont want to order online. Just buying a few boxes for Christmas. Suggestions?

What I have always wondered is... If one were to drive with a paper-less pistol (borrowed from a friend or whatever), it would be illegal. It would be illegal possession because he didn't buy it with a PPP. I assume all of the paperwork is in some system. What about those that inerited it? You dont need a PPP, but there is also no paperwork in the system tying you to it, so how would the Police know?

I dont know why a safety is so taboo nowadays. IMO, any decent pistol user could make a 1911 ready to fire on the draw.

Its looking like I want an 870 tactical, but then dumping the muzzle break and tupperware for some wood furniture. Although I want the 3" chamber, so I am probably going to just buy an Express Magnum with nice furniture and spending more moolah than what I want to spend on a fancy barrel later. Edit: I want an 870 Magnum, 20" remchoke barrel, with the exact furniture in the picture. Is it so much to ask?

Found a crusty old rifle somewhere in the woods... I would be tempted to keep it.

Well... I figured out what shotgun I want, per se. An 870 Express Magnum with a 20'' Remchoke barrel and wood furniture. Unfortunately, there are no 20" remchoke barrels. I also hate the vent-rib look. I dont know what sights I want, ghost rings or a front bead. I could also buy a 26" barrel later, which makes me happy.

OBRPC? It looks like I want an Express Magnum. I want one with the most capabilities, if that makes any sense. Really, I guess it comes down to finding what barrel works best for me. I will probably wind up buying one with some gargantuan barrel on it, then sitting back and looking at it. BTW, j0n, I figured that a short barrel with full choke might be equivalent somewhat to a longer barrel with a modified

Well... I appreciate the imput, but I really want one shotgun. Preferably, with one barrel so I could get used to it and the way it shoots. Really though, I dont want one gun to be mediocre with two things, and if I had to have two barrels than so be it. How would a 20" barrel with full choke do for clays?
