I am planning on putting together a group trip for a bunch of people I work with to go to the range. We've done this several times before but we usually went out to Sunset Hill in PA, but since they're fairly limited in what facilities they have available and it's $20/person including the annual fee (we only tend to go once a year), it doesn't make sense to go there anymore when 5 of us are Cherry Ridge members and they now allow 2 guests per member. We typically go and bring all of the firearms that we own and lay them out on the benches and have at it letting everyone shoot whatever they want (obviously we'd need enough chamber flags or keep guns cased and cycle through them). In this case we'd have to go through all the pistols, then move to rifles, then to shotgun (not necessarily in that order). My question is if anyone has ever brought a "large" group (I'm looking at up to around 8-10 guests plus the members) and if they frown upon that large of a group without a dedicated RO or anything. Most (if not all) of the guests are at least familiar with firearms (any that aren't typically get extra attention from us until we're sure that they're comfortable) and several of them own their own and would likely even bring them with them. We would go during the week (probably like a Wednesday) so the range would likely be empty to begin with. I just don't want to show up there and have the RO tell us we can't have that many people. Obviously the members would be responsible for the guests and would keep watch over them (one of the members is an NRA instructor). I can explain things further if anything is unclear, but basically I don't want to be turned away at the range and don't want to upset/annoy the ROs. Thanks in advance.

Not true. Say there were 100 murders. A 16% increase would be 116. Now say there were 1000 total violent crimes (including murder). For violent crimes to stay the same, there would have to be at least 16 fewer of all other violent crimes to make up for the 16 more murders to break even. Violent crime as a whole could be down 5% to 950 including the 16 extra murders. Regardless, there's always some spin on it that doesn't belong anyway.

Folding is specifically called out as not legal. See OP.

I believe I've seen something before that was a hanger for clay targers, to hang from a clothes line or something. Not sure if that helps you at all. http://www.suresiteinc.com/hangers.php

I have a few pair of WileyX glasses that I've been using for years. They're around the same price range that you're looking. I have a pair of the old Romer II's, new Romer II's, and Light Adjusting Brick. I like the Light Adjusting lenses because I don't have to swap the lenses out when it goes from cloudy to sunny or covered range to the field.

The problem I have with their discount codes is that it excludes sale and backorder items. I don't think I've ever had a cart with enough items to qualify for the discount without having something on sale or backordered.

Done.

I am planning on attending this match as an observer (for now) given the weather is acceptable. Since I've never been to Shongum, is there anything I need to know about finding the right range? I have the directions to actually get to Shongum, but once I turn onto the property, is it fairly obvious where I need to go to find the match? Thanks.

I just had mine replaced a few weeks ago, but my oil company (Petro) did it for me. I had no interest in installing my own given the necessary transfer of oil from old to new. I've never heard of being able to buy a tank, but that doesn't mean it's not possible. Good luck in your search.

2. Jefferson Twp PD 3. No particular contact, just whatever Detective was on FID duty that night (scheduled hours are only 3hrs one night a week). 5. No extra forms 1. FID Only (Late Summer, 2008) 4. 6 weeks 1. 1x PPP 4. Nov 20 - Dec 23 2008 (just over 30 days) 6. I e-mailed the detective on 12/23 for a status update, was told they were waiting for my mental health check to come back. That afternoon I got a call that it was ready. 1. 1x PPP 4. Nov 2 - Dec 14, 2010 (6 weeks) 6. I e-mailed the detective on 12/10 for a status update, was told the paperwork "just came back, should be issued within a week". Got a call it was ready the following Tuesday (their scheduled FID day). 1. FID Only (for Wife) 4. Early Spring 2011, about 12 weeks 6. This was my experiment. I let them go unprovoked (no e-mails/calls for status) to see how long they would take. When it finally did come back, we went in one night to pick it up and it just so happened that the detective on duty for FIDs had to make a prisoner transfer. They're open from 6-9pm, we waited from 6:15-8:30 before we finally left when they said "We don't know when he'll be back". Went back the following week and got it. The detectives are plenty nice when you can actually get to meet with them. Most of the time we wind up chatting about gun related topics while processing paperwork. We have never had any passive aggressive statements or anything from them (like "What do you need a gun for anyway?"), they've even asked what I was planning on buying, or said things along the lines of "Make sure you buy something good with that". I think they might take a while because of the volume of FID related things, the police chief probably only signing for 3 minutes a month, and them needing to perform their other detective duties. Regardless though, it should be quicker, but it could be far worse from the sound of it in other towns.

It should only be $18 each time you apply, not per permit, and that's for NJSBI anyway, not your town PD.

You really should name your topics better....I didn't see a gun anywhere in that video.

My coworker said that he has to be fingerprinted if it's more than one year since applying in Basking Ridge. The worst part about it is it's not even a money grabbing scheme, the town PD gets none of the $60.25 for fingerprinting, it's all NJSBI. The town still only gets $2. It's just ridiculous. They're just cementing in the fact that laws don't apply to those in power. My link - Link to instructions on right of page

It was Hackettstown Guns & Ammo, I forget the guy's name, but he's the one that owns the gun counter part of the shop, and I wasn't sure of the law at the time, so we asked. He said 6, we said ok. Maybe he thought it was a semi-auto (he was only acting as an FFL, not placing the order for us, so he probably didn't really know what we were actually ordering). Either way, 6 vs 9 shot really doesn't make a difference to me, I was really only buying it because of the price.

Oh....well the guy at the shop I ordered it through said the limit was 6 so we ordered them with 6. Oh well, no big deal.

I took an armorer's course on the 590A1 a few years ago, but the details are fading. I do remember that (other than what's been said so far) the magazine tube is removeable/replaceable and it has a different threaded nut (not sure what to call it) that holds the barrel to the mag tube. It's also parkerized instead of blued. I have a 6-shot (obviously, NJ) 590A1 w/ Ghost Ring and SpeedFeed stock. I got it mainly because of the armorer's course discount since I already had 3 shotguns more suited for trap/skeet.

I considered loading yesterday when we had no power as a way to pass the time, but thought priming and charging by candlelight would be a very poor decision.

What about the father purchasing the lower with the intent of building it into a rifle and selling it to his son with all the legal paperwork? How different would that be from anyone building custom rifles and selling them? As long as you fill out the proper paperwork and they are legally allowed to purchase/own it, what does it matter whether they can own the original parts? I realize it's probably a legal gray area (as is everything firearm related in NJ), but it shouldn't be. As long as you are allowed to own it, it shouldn't matter how quickly you turn it around. Straw purchases should only apply to selling to someone now allowed to own it, not purchasing something with the intention of giving it to them as a gift when they're allowed to have it.

I got these (My link) for my 10/22. They work pretty well. I'm not going for extreme iron sight accuracy though anyway, so I don't have much problem with them. BTW, these replace the standard scope base on the rifle, they attach directly to the receiver.

We unfortunately ran out of ammo quickly and left at around noon, so we probably missed you. And thanks for the offer on the belt setup, but being that I'm a lefty I doubt I could use it. I have a holster for my Glock already though, just need a few more mag pouches. Plus my Glock seems to shoot a bitter straighter than the 92 for some reason (Beretta shoots low-right, can't figure out why, made the 2x4 match kind of difficult). And as long as I'm not busy I probably will get to the Sept 10 match to check it out (won't be shooting quite yet, but probably won't be long if it's as fun as everyone claims). PS: Might as well add to the list my 'new to me' Franken-AR15 I bought from DevsAdvocate here. Just another gun I have to feed and outfit with accessories (especially since I'm a lefty).

Just thought I'd add a podcast-type show I found on youtube on IDPA vs. USPSA/IPSC. There's 35 episodes of about 30 minutes each, and appears to still be going on weekly. I've watched the first 10 or so episodes and found it very informative, especially considering I've never shot or been to a USPSA match yet and have only been reading about it. http://www.youtube.com/user/powerfactorshow

Hey everyone! I've been reading through here the past few days and decided to join and say hi. It seems I'm not even close to the first one from Oak Ridge on here. Gun Collection (so far): Glock 22 Beretta 92A1 Marlin XS-7 .308Win old Ruger 10/22 Mossberg 500 Mossberg 590A1 w/ Ghost Ring (Zombie gun) old pump 12ga (similar to 500) old side by side 12ga All 3 old ones I inherited when my great Uncle moved into assisted living. I'm just getting into reloading over the past few months, and I just shot my first 2x4 shoot at Cherry Ridge on Saturday. I'm also interested in giving USPSA a try (I know, when I jump into a hobby I go head first all the way) so I'll probably be lurking around Shongum during the next few matches. I joined Cherry Ridge last year and just renewed as a Life member (I had a family membership to include my wife, and we decided it was more cost effective to do the life membership). I look forward to all the knowledge I know I'll gain from everyone much more experienced than me around here.
