I had the exact same problem, about 2 years ago. I was calling the Luitenant atleast twice a week until he got tired of me and told me to just show him my employee ID and xeroxed it.

Not sure, what if your unemployed or self employed. How would that have any bearing on your ability to legaly own a firearm?

Most definately. Southern most part of oldbridge. Have you considerred englishtown?

This is what I sent to Manalapan PD: "Chief Marsala, I would like to submit an application for 2 pistol purchase permits, Last time I did this was about 4 years ago and I would like to know if the procedures have changed. Can you please give me information on the following: 1) Days and hours when I can come in to submit the application?2) What forms I need to complete?3) Can I download these forms or do I have to pick them up during the hours specified in question 1?4) Last time I had an issue with employment verification because my employer used a third party organization to provide this service and the Manalapan PD was not a paying subscriber. Does the Manalapan PD still need this information or would my employee ID suffice? I really do appreciate all your help. Sincerely;" This is the response I got: "The next scheduled firearms licensing date will be March 1, 2013 from 9:00 to 1:00 with Ptl. Donatelli. If you have any questions please visit our website www.manlapanpolice.org under firearms licensing, where you will find the needed Pdf forms to complete and download. Yes you will still need an employment verification sent to your employer. I would recommend providing the name of your direct supervisor with a specific mailing address to that person. SincerelyLieutenant Thomas Barstow"

I got 6 15/30 mags from them for $23.99 each 6 months ago. $34.99 is too much when you consider the standard 20 round PMAG was around $15 not long ago.

I to am from the ex Soviet Union. I was lucky, my family fled in '79, so no, we didn't live thru the collapse. But the whole point of our 2nd amendment is to prevent what happend in the former Soviet Union. First they take away your guns, a little at a time, it's like the frog in boiling water. They do it slowly so that we don't feel it as hard. Once all of our guns are gone, we end up back in the Stalin era. How does this pertain to stock piling ammo? Once all the ammo is gone, our guns are useless. Why is the goverment buying up ammo by the hundred millions? I buy a couple thousand rounds and I'm causing a shortage, the government buys up hundreds of millions and that's not impacting supply? Rant off.

I know everyone likes to bash Dick's, and for well deserved reason. But last week I bought UMC .45 50 round boxes for $24.99 and WWB .40 100 round boxes for $39.99. These are the same prices I was paying last year.

I don't buy ammo at double the price. If I can't find ammo at the same price I paid last year, I don't buy it.

This might be an extremely stupid question, but somebody needs to ask it. I know that most people on this forum, including me, are stock piling ammo due to the shortage and the expectation of severly restrictive laws coming in the near future. I myself and buying ammo every chance I get, as long as I can find it at a reasonable price. My question is, if god forbit in a SHTF situation, when you have to leave your house and might not have the luxury of a vehicle, maybe you run out of gas. How do you folks plan to pack and carry all this heavy ammo. I personally have no clue how this can be accomplished.

Do they need a warrant? I don't think Inspecting the logs is a problem, that's the whole reason they have the logs. What I found strange is they they were writing down FID numbers of all the people who bought 1,000 rounds, and no one elses.

That's why I only bought the .45s. $24.99 was always the regular price (atleast the last 3 years). I never said Dick's was good or bad, but if the price is right for what I am looking for, that's good enough for me. just to put this in perspective, Ramsey outdoor, which is in the sam plaza as Dick's wanted $35 for the same box of .45s.

Sighned

It's required for pistol ammo purchases.

I am well aware of Dick's employees lack of firearms knowledge, I have had my share of experience with their lack of knowledge. But this was not a knowledge issue. Plus, I have been buying ammo from dick's, because of price, for a long time, and i've never heard of state police writing down FID numbers. But if, like others say, they must have been investigating something specific, I will let it go.

else where they are price gouging, Dick's has UMC .45 fmj for $24.99.

I'm a little confused, I was under the impression that we were all here, as a community, to help each other out. The moment I say that "The Guy at The Counter At Dick's" said something that sounds very suspicious, and in fact playes to the entire theme of the current environment in NJ, I get jumped on. I have no reason to believe that he was lying. And why were they writing down the numbers of every one who bought a 1,000 rounds? Why not 950 rounds?

It's Dick's in Paramus, they had a few cases of 9mm, 1,000 rounds each case.

I just went to Dick's Sporting Goods to buy ammo, I had a very interesting conversation with the guy behind the counter while he was loging my purchase. Apperantly the NJSP was over at Dick's yesterday, going thru their log book and writing down the FID numbers of everyone who purchased 1,000 rounds or more of pistol ammo. When the guy asked them why they were writing the numbers down, they said, and I'm paraphrasing, "We are going to look into these purchases". This whole whole situation is getting scariar by the minute!

It doesn't hurt to try, nothing can be lost by by requesting them to boycott state governments, but a lot can be gained.

Ok folks, having gun manufacturers boycott state goverments is one thing, but state governments already have plenty of firearms. If ammo manufacturers would boycott state governments, that would be a different story, since ammo requires replenishment, that I think would have a greater impact impact. I just sent an email to remington and hornady, and will send a similar email to other ammo manufacturers. I ofcourse substituted remington with hornady in the hornady email " I am an avid shooter and spend thousands of dollars each year on remington ammo. NY has already put into law certain anti gun laws and other states, such as NJ are contemplating similar actions, as well as the federal government. A hand full of gun manufaturers have already pledged to stop selling firearms to the NY state government, this includes law inforcement, however I believe that more needs to be done. Stopping the sale of firearms to state governments will only go so far since they already have many firearms. What really needs to be done is to stop the sale of items that require regular replenishment. As a gun owner, avid shooter, and a contributor to your bottom line, I ask that you follow in other gun manufacturers foot step and stop selling ammo to state governments that trample over our 2A rights." If everyone starts contacting ammo manufacturers, we might just make a difference.

It has been a while since my last P2P application, and I don't want to create unneccasary waves, so I just sent the chief the following email. We will see how he responds. Chief Marsala, I would like to submit an application for 2 pistol purchase permits, Last time I did this was about 4 years ago and I would like to know if the procedures have changed. Can you please give me information on the following: 1) Days and hours when I can come in to submit the application? 2) What forms I need to complete? 3) Can I download these forms or do I have to pick them up during the hours specified in question 1? 4) Last time I had an issue with employment verification because my employer used a third party organization to provide this service and the Manalapan PD was not a paying subscriber. Does the Manalapan PD still need this information or would my employee ID suffice? I really do appreciate all your help. Sincerely;

I know, I just wanted to drive my point home. If I say S&W 500 magnum or DE 50AE, these are concealable pistols, not easily concealable, but concealable. A 50 BMG, not concealable at all without a large vehicle. Also, even though it covers all 50 caliber firearms, it's written to look like it's only 50 BMG.

Yep, credit history. Actually it was an authorization to run my credit report. I will definately try contacting the mayor and police chief.
