Skipio does NOT count

If you keep having them , it will take a decade to be better. Those are official words of advice.

you closed your pool I see.

Howard was taking pictures from the sky today

Just isolating all the useful info for OP lol

Oh you had mentioned Somerset Co when I suggested Easton. If you are in Monmouth Co then Range 14 would be the affordable outdoor range in your area. It's fine I hear . Maybe do another topic asking members of Range 14 for their feedback.

and we sometimes have to deal with this in North Arlington/Lyndhurst , this was last night http://www.northjersey.com/news/police-shoot-suspect-in-rutherford-after-car-chase-through-bergen-county-1.1088853 If power ever goes out for more than 10 days , priority number one is to blow the bridges lol

Same here. Grew up riding dirt bikes all through the swamps , Kearny all the way to Rutherford . I don't know how old you are , but I am talking 1979 to about early 1990's. It is all built up now . The Bird Sanctuary in Lyndhurst was a favorite spot. That is exactly what you are hearing. I use to live near there.Now I live on the other side of town in N.A , by the Passaic.I sometimes hear gun fire too , only at 3am coming from the other side of the river . And the rice burners racing on Mc Carter's Hwy . And the occasional wreck :/

You're fine to apply for your FID then. So it seems you know that I believe nonimmigrant status under certain exemptions can obtain FID as well.

I'm planning to bring my mother ..I've convinced her so far to get in the CAR with GUNS in it. She said she will look , but won't shoot. If she shoots , and smiles , I win. BOOM! C'mon , it a "challenge" We will be running other events for the curious and the on the fencers.

Probably the best choice for an outdoor range would be Easton , PA . It is affordable and about an hour ride from Somerset area. https://www.efga.net/ As for shooting on other public or private property it varies greatly by township . You would need to check specifically with the town you want to shoot in. That all will come later though. You will have to apply for your Firearm's Purchaser ID Card ( called FID or FPID card ) in the town you move to in order to buy a long gun.I'm not sure sure how residency status affects any of that. It may or may not depend what type of visa you are here on? I am not sure , others may know , but it is worth finding out before doing any paperwork..having a denial on your application history can be a pain. In the meantime , if you have no familiarity with firearms ( you said you were a newbie) I suggest taking an NRA First Steps Rifle ( and/or Pistol) class . It will teach you safety and get you familiar with what you choose to shoot. You do not need anything besides valid ID to take that class , they will provide the rifle. I am partial to Gun For Hire in Woodland Park , I have taken all my classes there and teach there occasionally . Good luck ! When do you arrive? Oh , and you do not exactly fully get to exercise your 2A rights in NJ. You'll figure out the ins and outs of that if you hang around this forum :/

Any person who was apathetic to the cause , but picks up 2A activism as a result of attending this event , counts as a convert in my book. We need any and every new enthusiast we can get .

We are also planning a fun Pot Luck get together at Shari's , date pending. Port meetups will continue to happen monthly , will post out the next few month's dates soon. Info on joining and/or signing up for events will be posted shortly on our webpage http://sawshootingclub.com/

Door prizes! Everybody must know somebody that they can bring to this event

There is a rifle range there?? Did not know that.

As a point of interest , I actually got stopped and frisked in NYC because I had a DSLR mounted on a Bushwacker..which is basically a rifle stock to steady your cam and huge lens on , which has basically been discontinued for that very reason.

Very sorry to hear this My condolences to his family and friends.

There is , in NJ , no duty to retreat in your home if you feel your life is in danger. If you are going to point a gun at someone in your home , you need to feel life is in danger. There are a lot of reasons why an intruder would be shot in the back. He may have flailed after a first shot , he may have been heading to attack another family member , or it was dark you were frightened and you never took low light no light training. Which is something you should not leave out of your practice. Just by reading the article I agree with Pizza Bob. This would have been a clean shoot in NJ most likely. NJ lacks any provisions for you to defend your life with a firearm past the threshold of your house , though you are allowed to carry anywhere on your property. Go figure.

Plus sometimes it is just about the ocean , the beer , and the company. Not necessarily in that order lol

Agreed. Been fishing extensively in NC , Florida ...it is kind of like skiing , do we have it in NJ? Yes. Is it the best? No , but it's what we got

Pro 2A jeweler - Arlington Jewelers Ridge Rd North Arlington. Good friend of mine. If you do decide to go there PM me so I can tell the owner I sent you.

Since these things completely vary from town to town , maybe do another post with subject line " Old Bridge turn around time for P2Ps "
