Congratulations!!

On the occasion they actually do decline to proceed they don’t call anyone, I know the employee you mentioned well, and you are correct on location. Definitely push back... I’ve seen them deeply discount the firearm as well as free ammo gift cards. Most times the person that speaks to the customer is not the firearm manager just the manager on duty, could be footwear or clothing manager going off what the guys at the counter tell him. I’ve seen them deny a woman buying her first ar because she didn’t handle it like a Marine. She ended up getting 25% off and a couple hundred rounds and case free..... but she really rattled cages.

you shoulda raised hell they'd have given you a $100 gift card and sold you the shotgun..lol

the good guys all got tired of the walmart mentality/management requiring each employee to push/meet a credit card quota, and them straying from the original mantra of hiring knowledgable people with real world experience (mil/le) and became a hire anybody that would work in a gun store that would not allow you to carry concealed or otherwise irregardless if you were le or not and pay you $10 per hour........and then the managers are the typical retail managers, the firearm manager has 0 knowledge of firearms/laws/etc ... they follow a flow chart handed down from corporate, but have sold most/all(?) the high profile de shooting weapons since they opened...the delaware trooper murdered a couple years ago at the wawa and the standoff that followed at his parents house...yep cabelas sale...guy at counter attempted to shut that sale down...but manager said "not enough evidence to stop sale"..a couple weeks later it happened they are so scared of negative feedback/"racial" intimidation they are well known in de to be the place to go for the straw buyers....hell theres postings online of the right words and key phrases to use to raise hell and get a gift card up to $100 to use on your purchase that day....the place is a joke i had a few friends from the gun counter quit as a result of cabelas putting guns in the wrong hands in fear of being called racist i wouldn't spend my money there

They do not care, not every firearm has a 10 round magazine available yet that passed so magazines are permenanty modified in a those cases , therefore they can just say magazines can be modified to 5 lol ......fairness and logic are not part of the process

I assumed that you were referring to larger purchases, and was pointing out the ridiculousness of the concept and that a state like New Jersey will not stop until it drives everyone not living on the dole out.

So you would save all your receipts from innocuous purchases throughout the year like order shaving razor refills online and claim that $15 purchase on your income tax?

Wow ... where will it end?…next they’ll be collecting tax on meals or fuel purchased outside the state ...same principle

The “rules board” at the actual range says minimum 15 yards for pistols and 100 yards for rifles edit: oops sorry didn’t click on link in regular guy’s post above..... but that’s what I read on the sign and was told by ken (president)

......to buy lots of pink anodized parts for your o.a.f. Pistol and “war belt”? Sweet dreams manly man

A buddy is a member and I’ve been there it’s a nice place But he said a bunch of guys with full time jobs are fed up and not renewing their memberships because they’ve been members for 20+ years and now cant take their family for quality time on the weekends because the ranges are tied up both days every weekend for 11 out of 12 months with the new members pushing to make it their personal power ranger camp lol

Clearly NJ missed the memo as they have been using it as t.p. For a long time

.......some groups just get more rights than others, unfortunately it’s just the way of the world no matter what it may be...some group will always gets more/better/preferential treatment over others and those on the receiving end always feel it’s justified and have a list of reasons why they deserve whatever it is and you dont

It is I travel a lot for work (fly) then when I finally get home on a weekend off and wife and I want to just go spend some quality range time together check the club calendar and there’s Saturday &Sunday events 7-3...8-5 etc kinda sucks but as far as the facility it pretty nice and peaceful (prior to the trying to make it a competition center) if you have free time during the week it’s a great option.... just wish the club considered the hundreds of members wishes instead of the 5 guys pushing events that have 10-30 vehicles I see on the days I didn’t look at the schedule and just went ......basically something every weekend from March to December taking up 50-90%of the ranges rant off lol

It used to be... but now with all the gun games that are both days just about every weekend taking up most/sometimes all of the ranges members with big boy jobs that can only go on the weekends and don’t want to play all the games are out of luck until they pack up their anodized multi colored bling bling blasters lol

If you like the shop and they treat you and mom well great...I stopped into the shop and saw way over priced pistols and walked into the middle of a conversation/attitude by the owner that “EARNED”/ensured they never got a penny of my money and now that I live in a free state all that NJ bs that NJ resident gun owners have to deal with is a speck in the rear view mirror

4-6 years ago he could have been 250 or 175 ... his appearance didn’t stick but his shitty comments did .....and HE INTODUCED himself as the owner/bob viden ......you like his place/prices/better than his customers attitude by all means continue giving him your money.... I’m not telling you not to, just shared a PERSONAL experience in the shop

Like I said it was once and 4-6 years ago.....from memory of the face a thin older guy with gray/white hair maybe glasses....but guy definitely said “I’m not and employee I’m the owner bob viden(sp?)...in a smug manner ......I posted the full story way back then and the regular range guys swore it was bs then long before any other band wagon bs ....he has apperantly said the same thing in a public speech in Trenton unless “you gotta call bs on that too” lol

Yup I was there ONCE because a coworker and I were passing by saw the shop and stopped in as we do whenever we see a gun store in our travels....30 seconds in the door while looking at the $650 gen 3 glocks heard a person behind the counter calling a customer a “gun nut and a cowboy” because he wanted the right to carry to come to jersey and that “no one needs to carry except military/le”.... to which I chimed in and asked which category was he as he had a poorly concealed pistol and it’s odd to work in a gun store with that attitude .....he said “I’m neither I’m bob viden and I own this shop and you must be one of those nut jobs too”.... I basically laughed and said to the other customer “now that you know that he feels as though his and his families life is worth more than yours And he’s fine with taking your money yet doesn’t want you to have the same rights as he does I’d take my money elsewhere” then bob goes on to brag about “being on the nra board of directors (this was probably 5 yrs ago) and a firm supporter of the second amendment..blahh blahh like all the other gun grabbing politicians...and that Sweeney was a good friend of his and a big 2a guy “ ....I laughed said “must be why nra abandoned nj .....there was more said but that’s the highlights .... I left and never/will never go back

I’m really shocked NJ wasn’t one of the opposing 17

Not a sig hater, ive run Sig 22X pistols extensively without issue...I don't own a 320 but have handled/finger banged numerous 320's at shops as well as shooting a few mags through a couple different pistols privately owned by people in different areas.... none of the ones I shot had any type of failures but I didn't drop them... however out of the 10-15 times I've handled them in shops I had 5 that had a double click when dry fired... and of those 5...2 that the trigger wouldn't reset if the trigger was held after dry firing and racked and then released no matter how hard you racked ....the trigger wouldn't reset unless you let go before racking....so that alone is why I will never own a 320 ,,,these were not in the same shops or even the same state/region

"I also used a well-traveled, small black cowhide Coach leather satchel with shoulder strap that provided convenient accessible storage for my wallet, reading & sun glasses, cash, iPhone, car keys," my wife has a bunch of these she uses to carry the same items ..I believe she calls them pocketbooks, purses, and hand bags.....did yours match your shoes? Lol just busting your balls .... carry your European men's carryall with pride

No delay yesterday electronic submission ... I clicked done on my screen, the salesperson clicked refresh on their screen and bam approved... maybe 30 seconds....oh yeah that was in Delaware though

Ty I glanced at quintons calendar and based on location called it wrong and didn't notice they use a mon-sun format as opposed to a sun-sat
