Can't confirm the similar name, DOB of a criminal. Unless someone else has my SSN as well, I'm not a criminal. never arrested, no current or prior restraining orders or warrants. Its funny, because I just received my FID last month and had my background raped by the state of NJ.

LMAO!!!!!

Ahhhhhh OK. And I didn't put down my SSN. I will do that on the next purchase for sure.

So I bought my first gun saturday. I got screwed with NICS because they went down. I was told it would be squared away monday morning. I went to the shop to pick up the gun last night after work and they told me NICS still hadn't called. They called NICS and NICS said it was still pending. The shop told me they can take up to 3 days. Is this because its my first gun purchase?

Right but it doesn't say where... You are relinquishing your privacy for them. They can obtain that by showing your authorization to do so, unless I misunderstood the form

I totally agree agree about the therapist. They are not a medical doctor or psychiatrist. If you saw a psychologist and put NO I do not believe that's a lie. However it is NJ that doesn't mean they won't make you fight their decision in court.

Also remember you give them the authorization to access any of your medical records when you sign that mental health form. Who knows where they reach. They probably don't reach but, I would rather be truthful and be denied then lie and be a felon

I just bought one Saturday. Will pick it up tonight because NICS was down. I got it at Brick Armory. They had one in the case. Shore Shot right around the corner has like 20 on back order the guy told me when I was there a few weeks ago. I will post pics this evening

Its Wednesday night. I think at 7 or 7:30

Just wanted to see who would be there. I'd like to put some faces to names. I would wear a NJGF shirt, but I have yet to receive a reply when I inquired about a shirt in my size.

I am not a lawyer but I have direct experience with the mental health question. I went through about 5 years of misery in my marriage. My ex was a lazy woman who did anything she wanted other than what a stay at home mom should be doing (cleaning, taking care of the kids, etc. ) I am not a male chauvinist but when you choose to be a SAHM you have certain responsibilities to the household. I was working 60 hours a week coming home and cooking, cleaning, playing with the 2 little ones I had, getting them ready for bed, etc practically everyday. I was depressed. Then I found out she was cheating. All in one year I found out she was cheating, I filed for divorce, had to file bankruptcy and lost my house, my mom died from cancer and I lost my job. This is NO EXAGGERATION. It actually all happened within about 8 months from 2008 - 2009. I had been on meds for about 4 - 5 years at that point. I got up everyday, did my job took care of the family, and when I had lost my job found a new one pretty quickly. At that point I was unemployed and my ex had moved out and left me with the kids. Fast forward 3 years... I have a new woman who is friggin' amazing (and shoots with me). I am no longer on meds, lost 100 pounds (I was fat). I was very nervous about the FID process because of this. I pondered back and forth should I put down that I saw a psych and was on some meds for a while or shouldn't I. I spoke with the lady at the local PD about it and she said to ABSOLUTELY put it down. She said a lot of folks go through that stuff but if you don't put it down and they find out 1. you are NOT getting your FID and 2. You have commited a crime. So What I did, since these towns make US do extra paperwork I gave THEM some extra reading. I wrote a letter and attached it to my FID app with all my doctor info, exactly why I was being treated, and that I am no longer on the meds anymore. I made it completely available to them. I will talk about it with anyone (as you can see) because I am not ashamed of it. I made a conscious decision to keep myself in check which is more than we can say for even some LEO's out there that beat their wives and have anger issues. Sorry but there are plenty of them but THEY can have guns. So in my eyes I did the responsible thing and not ignore it. The end result was I received my FID on Feb 10th of this year. Again I am not a lawyer, but this was my experience so I think that honesty is the best policy. I guess an attorney can tell you how they check for your mental issues, but if you want the FID just tell the truth.

This pissed me off this weekend big time. I bought my first firearm and couldn't bring it home because NICS was down and I started the process at around 4pm. This is another limitation by the NJSP. NICS is available 7 days a week for 17 hours a day and ALL holidays except Christmas. This is right off their site. Here is NJ again screwing us by limiting how dealers can sell and how consumers can buy. I would say be cautious of the time if you really want to walk out with the gun. Give yourself at least 2 hours.

DOH!!!

I didn't know it was an issue really. If they would have told me there wAs a chance I had to wait until Monday I wouldn't have paid.

Yesterday my wife and I purchased my first firearm. I have to say Brick Armory was awesome. The staff was very friendly and very helpful. When me and my wife went on the range to shoot the SR22P the guy who sold it to us came out to us and asked how we were doing and answered some questions and gave us some pointers. I think his name was Milt or Milton. I am not sure though. The lady that seemed to run the place was very nice as well. They were busy as hell but still kept a smile on their face. My only two issues are 1. they dont give a NJ Gun Forums discount on range time (although they comp'd it for me since I purchased) 2. The range was freezing cold. Other than that I'd choose them over Shore Shot anytime.

Yesterday my wife and I purchased my first firearm. I have been obsessed with the new Ruger SR22P. I normally shoot at Shore Shot but never knew about Brick Armory. My wife and I were going to head to Shore Shot to rent when we decided to check out Brick Armory. I went in there and saw they had a Ruger SR22P. So I asked to see it. I instantly fell in love. I am a short guy at with small hands. So this fit nice. I think the larger grip will feel better as its still a bit small but it really felt nice. I was surprised at the heft the little sucker had. Now I will post more detail in the Range and Shop forum but I just have to say the folks at Brick Armory are really nice. Very helpful, pleasant, and knowledgeable. They blow Shore Shot out of the water in customer service. They are a little more pricey with the range only because they dont offer the NJ Gun Forum discount. I wish I can post pics but I did not get to take it home. I filled out the paperwork. They called into NICS but ofcourse NICS was down. I ended up paying for it and they let me shoot. So the wife and I got to send 150 rounds down range. They comp'd the range fee so I just had to buy ammo. When we were finished it was almost 6 and NICS hadn't called back and they closed at 5. They said they would call with the approval in the morning Monday so i could just swing by after work to pick up the firearm. It's definitely a fun little gun. We ran CCI mini mags and American Eagle through it without a problem. I will post pics tomorrow night once I get home with it. I was definitely bummed when they took it from my hands to lock up in the safe

You can scratch that. I picked an SR22P up yesterday from Brick Armory. Well its not in my posession at the moment. You can check out the New Firearms Owner forum for the whole story. A little bummed but i did get to send a150 rounds down range with it.

Thats awesome. Where is MCPRC? If its a bearable drive would you be willing to let me send a few down range?

Ray that is sweet looking.

I just recently shot the GSG 1911-22 at Shore Shot. Aside from it being a dirty rental gun with some FTF's, I really liked it. Right now its on my short list for my first purchase. I read up a lot on the GSG and the FTF's are not a characteristic so I definitely think it was just poorly kept as a rental.

Agreed. There could possibly be WAY MORE to this story.

Did you get the combo kit with the case?

This is a beautiful thing. Its a nice step...

Thats a bummer. That's what happens though when we buy products fresh off the line in the early stages.

Lol I can see it now... A couple of blood members finish a drug transaction and the one says " these f**king cops are taking for ever with my FID! They say it's because my reference letters haven't got dare yet"
