I'm gonna go way out on a limb and assume that anyone ordering ammo online actually has a computer, so you only need to do any of the above mentioned tasks once and then it's on a file in your pc. Im not looking to ruffle any feathers, I get it if some don't want to be bothered, but it seems like a few make a bigger deal out of it than it is and get really insulted when the vendor is just trying to CYA. I manage the parts department in a car dealership and I see people get bent out of shape all the time when we won't cut them a key until they provide proof of ownership, so maybe I'm a little more sympathetic to the vendors plight than most.

I just ordered 9mm from Palmetto State Armory for $10.49 a box with free shipping, which is about the best deal I've seen. Their site said NJ residents need to provide an FID, so I took a picture of it with my iPhone and e-mailed it, then called them to confirm they received it. That took all of about 2 minutes and they said that was fine. I don't see what the big deal is if they are trying to cover their a**, it's not their fault that NJ isn't gun friendly.

I ordered 15 round mags right from S&W (part # 39498 for 9mm), don't remember exact price but they weren't cheap. G&R tactical sells em cheaper, but they said they were on back order for over 2 months. When I called to check the status of my order they said "we don't give eta's". Once they had my money they didn't really seem too concerned, so I cancelled the order and got them direct. I would rather pay more than give my money to someone who jerked me around.

LOL, the iPhone practically puts in the punctuation for you!

S&W sells 15 round mags for the M&P (part # 39498 for 9mm) but they are not listed on the site. G&R tactical sells them too, but they were on back order for nearly 2 months. I inquired a few times and they acted like it was S&W's fault and they couldn't give me any idea when they might come in but I should just wait. It seemed like they were annoyed that I was inquiring. I called S&W And they had em in stock so I cancelled G&R just on principal.

I understand the ones who say they would have just filled it out (I might have for just one simple form), but I also admire the OP for not doing it and I also agree its not the point of 'one simple form', it's PD's making their own rules. It starts with 'one simple form' and before you know it they add other conditions and rules....

I have an app on my iPhone called "CCW-concealed carry" and one of the features is that it lists which states require you to inform that you are carrying. It's actually a really cool app because it allows you to put in whatever permits you hold and then generates a custom map showing which states honor your permits.

That's basically my plan hd2000!

Someone told me a while ago that it wasn't a good idea to leave mags fully loaded for long periods as it weakens the spring inside, and that can cause misfeeds. Any truth to this? I was planning on leaving a mag loaded with HD ammo and just popping it out and leaving it behind when going to the range, then just popping it back in when I get home, but this advice has me thinking I should rotate them if it's true. What do you guys think?

I mailed mine in on 3/6/12, received it exactly one month later on 4/6/12.

Same here.

When people ask me why I have a gun, I tell them it's for the same reason the police carry them - to protect myself. If they continue with something silly like "what are the chances you would ever need that" or "your just paranoid" I reply that my house is probably not going to burn down tonight either, but I still have smoke detectors. I've been driving for 20 years and can't remember the last time I had a flat, but I still make sure my car has a spare.

Im still pretty new to this, but I don't really get why everyone dislikes ShoreShot. Yes, the RO's are pretty strict with the rules, but since anyone can rent & shoot I think they HAVE to be & it's a good thing. I stopped at Brick Armory once (didnt use the range) and although I've heard the range is better, the store was pretty bare & un-impressive. I started going to SS to try-before-you buy, but everybody was pretty helpful and easy to deal with so I just joined and Ive probably gone there 20-25 times since & haven't really had a bad experience yet.

I took my Florida CCW course in Florida, and they made it VERY clear that there is no such thing as a warning shot - you either have a justifiable fear for you life or not. Also, they said you may not use a firearm to gain the upper hand in an argument, or you become the aggressor. 20 years does seem pretty harsh though.

Thanks for the link hd2000, handy to have.

Co-worker (We're both NJ residents) is selling me a like-new Walther P22 for $250, I don't think I can go wrong...

Photo safe for iPhone. It lets you hide all of your racy / private pics inside the app with a password required to access them. The cool thing is, you can set up a dummy password to give to your wife, and then she will only see what you want her too, not the pics of your girlfriend! There is even a log telling you when the app was accessed using the dummy password! I don't have the energy to juggle 2 women, but I like to keep some pics private in case my phone is lost or one of my nieces or nephews plays with it.

Old Bridge - applied for 2 P2P's 3/27, recd today 5/10.

I hate them too, but usually you need them to get the sale price. Half the time I don't remember what phone number I had when I signed up, as ive moved a few times and I don't give out my cell. That's another great thing about the app - you can scan a friends card if you don't want to sign up with a store, just want to get the sale price when you do go. I think you can even share them via email.

The cashiers are used to it, they will either scan your phone or just type the card number in. Won't even raise an eyebrow.

I think I figured it out - I access the forum thru the tapatalk app and I don't think the poll is visible that way...

I can't find the poll, what am I doing wrong???

Oh, and iphone not gun related: Key ring - it stores all those stupid discount cards so you don't have them on your keychain.

iPhone: Legal heat, where to shoot & CCW

Wow, that seems entirely too easy for NJ. Thanks for the quick reply.
