I actually did a private for First Steps and Next steps..I was extremely nervous as my last encounter with a firearm was an awful one.Long story short a friend who was LEO was being irresponsible on every level with his firearm and ended his life right in the middle of a karaoke party. Fast forward 20 years , I went to the range with my husband and as soon as I heard and smelled the guns I had to walk back out , almost fainted. Decided if I wanted to pick up the new hobby with the husband , I would need some handholding hence the private lesson rather than the group class. I benefited greatly , the instructor was very patient and put me at ease. Could not wait for lesson two , then jumped right into group classes , IDPA , and USPSA. Sometimes a private is the way to go , especially if you have a unique situation:) I'm not sure the differences in the classes at this point. You can just email them with any questions right from the website. They are all very helpful and get back to you right away.

Yes the GFH are worth the $$ IMO On top of a few privates , I've taken First Steps , Next Steps , Urban I and II , Low Light I and Urban Shotgun I..I'm signed up for Sims on a Thursday night soon ( better look that up lol ) , and signed up for Urban III Oct 27th and then their Zombie Shotgun event benefit for Wounded Warriors the 28th. I feel it is excellent training for the $$ . And fun. Bonus

New m&p shield
Just bought a 9mm Shield for 419 OTD . Did they have yours in stock ? Darn , could have saved about 40 bucks :wild: Shopping around all the prices seemed higher. You got a great deal I have not shot mine yet , looking forward to trying it!

And in the Deja Vu Category
It would be hard for US to forget because we are so paranoid here in NJ , due to the draconian and ineffective laws. I can fully see someone forgetting they have something that is part of their daily regimen , especially when it is a common everyday thing where they come from and something that is in their bag 24/7. So , this guy was charged ..he said he did not realize he had his wife's bag?

Kid Carrying RPG in AZ -Terrorist Stunt
The difference between kids going out and playing toy guns ( which I saw a bunch of kids doing this weekend , they were having a ball great to see their whole bodies moving and not just their thumbs) and this kid is that he was trying to be an ass , trying to scare people , and was using up the valuable time of officers. If he was my kid he would not sit for weeks and I maintain his uncle would have a protruding toy RPG to deal with , ala "fussilli Jerry" from Seinfeld.

Application in, quick question...UPDATED 10/01/2012.
They are only suppose to verify employment . This is B.S , that they can disclose personal info about you i.e you wish to by a firearm. That is private info. Send a copy to NJ2AS .

Flash Suppressor on semi-auto rifle: Legal or not? (I'm getting mixed answers)
I have a flash hider on my mini 14 Ranch , supposedly factory installed , it is pinned on. Stainless. I think it looks rather nice lol I think we spoke about it once..I was going to swap it out for a pinned on muzzle break. PM me know if you want to swap or something ( for a stainless muzzle break) .

Big oops!
Glad she wasn't charged. Wonderful to see the bag screeners doing their job well ( eyes rolling), and very glad it was a good citizen that accidentally boarded with a loaded weapon rather than a BG. http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/lookout/report-woman-got-loaded-gun-past-tsa-141712196.html

Anyone into compact or subcompact handguns?
Anytime Wayne! I really really liked the PX4 storm subcompact. I did not get it because it is a double stack and quite chunky. The ergonomics were excellent however. I would just have a hard time " concealing it" .

419.00 out the door . I have not shot it yet. You are welcome to try it if you want to meet at a range sometime .

Anyone into compact or subcompact handguns?
Just bought a 9mm Shield the other day . Birthday present from Irishpete I have not shot it yet , this weekend hopefully. It is for carry in free states and for wearing concealed at home when home alone with the beautiful fall breeze whipping through my open windows. I also have a J frame model 60 that is pretty decent for carry and has nice sights that are real easy to sight up quickly. Because of thickness and the typical woman's style clothing it really imprints. Would be more of a purse gun . I have concerns about the higher implication of being purse snatched though ( which I have had my purse ripped off my neck once , and I got punched in the face and had my bag stolen from the center car seat while on McCarter's highway back when my 69 Catalina had no air conditioning and I was too young to think a mugging could happen to me) . I would rather have the gun on me. And no , I do not have the Flash-Bang bra. On me it would be the Flash-Where-The-"F"-Is-It-I'll-Never-Find-It-In-There-Bra .

Looking for a place to stay
I was going to suggest North Arlington , Lyndhurst or Kearny. Even Harrison has ok parts and is right near the PATH. My husband use to work in JC ( on Green St) and he commuted via NJ transit and light rail from our home in North Arlington no problem.I believe it was a 35 minute deal even with switching trains.North Arlington is a pretty safe town. There are regularly one bedroom apartments going for about 900 to 1K , some include utilities. Most are 2 family homes with owner and family residing which is another layer of comfort for a woman alone ! Let me know if it interests you , and I will check next week's South Bergenite paper for you.

Kid Carrying RPG in AZ -Terrorist Stunt
That is the most blatant act of stupidity I have seen in a long time.. that kid easily could have been hurt or killed and the person who thought they were preventing an incident would have their life ruined as well. I hope the punishment is severe. If that was my kid he would lose every privilege except eating drinking breathing and using the bathroom for a VERY long time. And his "uncle" would be sporting the world's first colon carried and operated grenade launcher.

Haters be hating on Paul Ryan.....
Live life with blinders on ..they think those steaks they are feeding their families with came from cows that dropped dead of natural causes. Most hunters have way more respect for nature and animals than the people working at huge meat cattle plants or poultry factories.

Haters be hating on Paul Ryan.....
I guess I 'll have my 6 year old open her Pink Cricket AFTER all the other kids leave. You know , the same group of people that think a dad taking his 10 year old daughter hunting is terrible tend to, as a group , think it ok for a 13 year old girl to be taken across state lines by any adult she chooses to get an abortion without her parents consent.She is much more likely to come to harm doing that than she is going hunting with a responsible parent.

Traveling with a handgun to a hotel in NJ
Put them in locking armored luggage and use a big chain and padlock , chain them to an immobile structure in the room and put the key in a strong box in the hotel and hope you don;t get searched or something Only half kidding unfortunately. That is what these NJ gun law stipulations do..make people who care about the law and who are not a threat worry about " what will I do with my guns while I am dutifully attending good training in the interest of being safe and accurate and a responsible gun owner " ...Forcing you to decide between getting up at 5am and driving 6 hours in one day or doing do the mental gymnastics of whether or not it is legal to stay in a hotel room near the training and worrying you are breaking a pointless law. Meanwhile all the criminals in the hotel are packing , carrying , waiting to jack you in the parking garage , and they are not losing a minute's sleep over whether or not they are breaking any "gun laws" in NJ by possessing a gun " at a hotel" . Well played NJ , well played ( eyes rolling) . Sad , isn't it?

Why did you buy a sub-compact/pocket gun if you can't CCW?
Couldn't hurt to try MK9?
