Based on personal experience with them, I can highly recommend Ira Levin at Legend Firearms, Paul at Arms N' Ammo, and Chris at Bullseye Tactical Supply--in no particular order. Cannot go wrong with any one of them.

Hmmm....there was supposed to be a photo of the new acquisition attached to the above post. Lemme see what I can do to fix.

Knowing full-well I'd have to look around for deals on the ammo, but still remembering how nicely the Glock 20 I guest-fired at Range 14 felt, I went to Bullseye Tactical Supply in Woodbridge and got a deal on one. It's well worth the trip from anywhere to give BTS and owner Chris a shot at your business.

All I know is, the place is aptly-named.

I just had an interesting conversation with my neighbor, who I got interested in gun ownership by giving some American Rifleman Mag's and a 2012 Gun buyer's guide. That, and letting him safely handle my modest gun collection of four handguns and three rifles. He put in for his FID and two PPs several weeks ago. He's a postal carrier and was a little dismayed by the fact that the Bayonne P.D. sent a work verification to his PO. Problem is, it plainly states that he is seeking to purchase firearms, something he wanted to avoid broadcasting to his fellow workers. I'm going to suggest he join the NJ2AS and let Frank and company deal with what is a blatant privacy violation.

WHERE exactly is this place? Does he have inventory? I see his FFL transfer fee is a reasonable $35 plus $15 NICS, so...

This was almost as bad as Foreman vs. Briggs, Trinidad vs. De la hoya, or just about any other crooked duke you can recall in boxing over the last 25 years.

I'm still wondering why the Turnplke Authority installed 10' high cyclone fencing topped off by massive amounts of razor ribbon at some interchanges around here?

Where's the one of Neil Armstrong stepping foot on the moon? That's not there but some shot of an idiot Canadian hockey fan kissing his unconscious girlfriend is?

Lived there in the early 90's for a couple of years. GREAT place, just stay away from West King Street and you'll be okay.

Just another excuse for the great Garden State's pols to stick their hands in our pockets.....

Arizona, for sure. I'm not sure whether I'd go for the northern part of the state, such as Payson or Prescott, or head w-a-a-a-y south to Bisbee, which is around seven miles from the Mexican border, but one mile up in the mountains which gives it a bearable year-round climate. But it's a no-brainer, given the political climate of this very red state, along with its laid-back folks and pro-2A sentiments.

Welcome, and have fun. Lots of great info here for ya!

While still OT about cigars, these guys never failed to come up with the absolute LOWEST prices on most of the sticks I smoked: www.niceashcigars.com I was heavy into Drew Estates line of smokes, and used to comparison shop between Famous, Thompson, JR and Nice Ash: probably 90% of the time NA had them in stock and cheaper than the rest.

Two poor Canadian tourists, heading to the outlet mall in AC, were set upon by this monster and stabbed to death. According to other reports I've read, the killer's aunt claims that her niece was "mentally ill" and "...has no prior criminal record", two things that wouldn't exactly soothe me if I were related to these two victims. http://usnews.msnbc.msn.com/_news/2012/05/22/11809975-woman-stabs-kills-two-tourists-in-atlantic-city-police-say?lite

Click on the "As Heard On the Radio" red console button on the upper right of homepage.

Add to the availability of those stores the fact that I had not one, but TWO excellent sources of Cubans, and I was in Fat City, my friend ;-)

Love the fact that Arizona has zero points. Definitely in the lead of possible retirement states for me.

"njgunowner" appears to be either the most naive gun owner I've seen of late, or is an anti2A'er in disguise.

Cigars are a cyclical thing for me, apparently. Smoked 'em heavy in the early to mid-80's, then got out when my dentist had to take a suspicious bit of tissue off my inner cheek. False alarm, but it scared me off them. Then, working in midtown Manhattan, with Nat Sherman, Famous and JR all within five minutes of my office, and getting in on the ground floor of the early to mid-90's cigar-mania, I jumped back in with both feet. Got out again about five years ago, but started back up with one or two sticks a week this year, slowly creeping back to my one a day, whether I need it or not. Can't go wrong with Famous or JR for your smoking pleasure!

Famous Smoke now running a radio promotion, offering 20 premium smokes for under $20: www.famous-smoke.com Click on "Radio" button for the deal....NOT...you don't have to do that at all. It's just a banner, like "As Seen On TV", etc. I went for the 20, even though there are some OUTSTANDING buys on larger quantities, too.

Clayton's in Horsham, PA might be worth a little bit more of a ride: clean, well-lit, friendly staff and good oversight of the firing line: https://claytonsrange.com/Range.html

Me? Naw...I was property of the missus all day.

Hmmm...maybe I'll give Caso's a call, too. Next purchase is going to be a wheel gun: either a Ruger SP101 or S&W 686, 4" in .357.

John, I guess it's all in what your definition of "bad town" is, no? I've been in Garfield plenty, and think it's a night and day difference from Passaic. But that's my perspective as a total outsider/occasional visitor to both towns.
