So what you're telling me is I should get a .22lr for my first gun if I'm poor LOL

This is like saying I'm going to ban bank robberies! I mean seriously, how can you ban something that is already illegal. How does banning it make it stop. I always tell people, when you get to a certain level in your career, whether its corporate or government, the night you get promoted you go to sleep all nice and happy. Then while asleep the common sense fairy comes and rips the common sense out of your head and provides the ability to now always talk out of your a$$ I am new to the hobby. I don't yet have my FID or gun and I am so F'in disgusted by all of this. What they are doing is affecting my will to exercise my right (which is obviously what they want). I am getting closer and closer to just not doing this because of the hassle that is involved. It seems almost draining to be a gun owner. Last week I was turned on to Gun For Hire. Since the beginning of last week I listened to every episode and finished the last one yesterday and I was EXHAUSTED!! The frustration is beyond belief. How's everyone's day going?

Congrats and I wish you much luck!

+1 to that!

Congrats and enjoy!

Thats insane. Soon you'll need an appointment to just pickup the forms.

LMAO

Welcome aboard!

From one newb to another.... WELCOME. You will enjoy it here!

Welcome to the forums! This is a place of great information and great people

It is mind boggling that you could "FORGET" you had your loaded firearm in your bag when you consciously transferred it from your luggage to your carry-on.

Sorry, I'm just learning... what is the bore?

Welcome!!! I am in TR as well. How long did it take to get your FID? I put my app in on 12/2.

Unfortunately it will be a free download somewhere because of scum. There are ways to protect it (Locklizard) but I have no idea of the cost to encrypt it then you deal with distributing license files.

Yes do it. I don't have any guns yet but I have been buying anything with info in it to get me prepared!

Welcome! This is a great place!!

Welcome! Good luck with the new toy (read it in another thread)!

Pleasure to meet you Bob! Thank you for all the hard work!

I think rather than going for the jugular (ccw) we need to get some smaller wins first. Our friend at NJ2AS (sorry I don't know your name yet) has a great start going with the NJSP "guide book" issue. I think we have a better shot at making progress with getting rid of the FID.

I saw that this weekend. Very nice!!

Amen to that!

I don't remember if it was yesterday or the day before but I was reading a thread on here debating the training issue. Before I get into that I just wanted to congratulate Alex on all of his big wins. Welcome home and enjoy the show!! You have replied to numerous posts of mine and its very cool to have read your story and how you got to this point. Now back to the thread... I agree with Ray Ray that mandatory training is probably worthless. I am new to all of this. I am very passionate about it and WANT TO take some training. If you don't have that thirst none of that will stick any way. People we'll go, get through the class just to get the ID and go shoot like an idiot and make us less safe at the range. It is an absolute shame its like that but its no different than school, if you hate the class you'll do the bare minimum then move on and not think twice about it. I love reading these threads and I appreciate everyone's input as I'm just absorbing like a sponge!!

Thanks all for turning me on to GFH. I'm subbed up and listening now!

What happen to the days where you could just walk into Higbee's and get yourself a Red Ryder carbine-action, two hundred shot Range Model air rifle with a compass in the stock and this thing that tells time?
