I have a credit watch service that I subscribe to through one of my credit cards (it's called "creditkeeper" thru my Orchard Bank card, but I'd imagine others offer similar services) and its been an awesome tool in rebuilding my credit. I found several errors and things that were hurting me, and they file the disputed for you. Also, it allows me to pull my credit report from all 3 companies every 30 days. It's like $15 a month but well worth it IMHO.

Also, with most of those errors the financial institution has to do an investigation that can take 90 days. If you wait until it IS a problem (like a lender questions it when you're making a large purchase) you won't have time to fix it before the deal falls apart.

Hilarious! That is just like a conversation I had with my wife. Come to think of it, that's just like every conversation I've ever had with her!

I didn't rent, I brought my own. I'm in the market for a "pocket" 9mm so I did browse their rental assortment. They didn't have a Khar CM9 or PM9 which is what i wanted to try (I really didn't expect them to) but they did seem to have a really good assortment of rentals. Ammo prices seemed fairly reasonable too.

I buddy who lives in Flemington invited me to go to Heritage Guild in Easton with him, and I have to say it was a very nice experience. The place is immaculate and well stocked, all the employees were super-nice and ultra helpful. The range was immaculate, air conditioned and well lit. Before I bought my first gun, I shopped at Heritage Guild in Rahway and I got that gruff "you're bothering us" attitude everyone complains about at many NJ shops so I was a bit skeptical, but the Easton location was completely different. The receptionist/cashier was great, the guy working the gun counter was great, and the RO was great - everyone very willing to help and the RO (i wish I got his name) was super helpful and gave me and my buddy (semi-newbs) a bunch if great tips. I live an hour and a half away, but definitely wish I had a place like that near me.

When I took the Florida CCW course (in Florida), the instructor told us that under no circumstance is a warning shot acceptable and it is punishable by up to 7 years in prison in Florida. The reasoning he gave was that, according to FL law, you may not use a firearm to gain the upper hand in an argument. Use of deadly force is only justified if you have reason to believe your life or well being is in imminent danger. His advice was that If you feel threatened, you inform the person that you are armed and willing to protect yourself. If that doesn't de-escalate the situation or the threat reaches to the point that you fear for your life or well being, THEN you shoot. Plain and simple. ** Not looking for a pissing match, just thought the legal perspective as explained from what i would assume to be semi-reliable source was interesting and made sense! **

Because I feel a lot safer knowing that if I hear glass break in the middle of the night and I go to investigate and find someone in my home, the playing field will at least be level (if not to my) advantage regardless of how big he is or if he brought a friend! The same goes for when I travel in my RV.

Also good advice for meeting women.

I have never been to RTSP, but I have to agree that the OP has every right to post on here if he feels their customer service is not good, especially if he's experienced it on more than one occasion. I would like to think that if it were a situation like a defective item you would give them an opportunity to correct the situation before flaming them on here but if any business doesn't want a reputation for poor customer service then they need to make sure the employees know how to treat customers. Rudeness or poor customer service is unacceptable weather it's a gun shop, bar, convenience store or any other business.

Out of stock. Thanks for trying though!

Welcome, also from Freehold.

I wasn't happy with G&R Tacticals customer service. I ordered them directly from S&W, part number 39498. They weren't cheap, but S&W had em in stock.

I'm sure this will upset all you ' gun purists' but here goes! I'm only into semi-auto handguns but I can't really explain why. I've shot long guns before, but it doesn't do anything for me and I don't hunt. I'm mostly into guns for the idea of self-defense and the ability to carry when I travel with my out of state permits. I wouldn't mind a nice tactical style shotgun, but I don't want to have to buy a long safe and don't like not being able to lock it up. Here is the part that will really upset a few of you: Revolvers seem primitive to me and do absolutely nothing for me. My dad offered to give me a few revolvers of his a couple of years ago and I told him "no thanks"!

No, I've only been in the "Audi world" for a year and a half. I was at a Toyota dealer for 10 years before.

I work in the parts department at an Audi dealer. I have to agree that they are very nice cars but expensive to repair and maintain. I think this is the case with most European (and to some extent Japanese) luxury cars. Don't take this the wrong way but IMHO, if you don't have enough disposable income to buy one new then you probably will be unhappy with what it cost to keep up. If you (or any other NJGF members) go that route and need Audi parts, accessories or advice, hit me up on here and ill help you out in any way I can.

Welcome, also from Howell.

I've used this one myself. Also, when people say that our forefathers wrote the Constitution before they could envision the technology of today's guns, I point out that the Constitution also guaranteed us free speech long before anyone envisioned how it could be abused on the Internet for bullying, before the TV, and long before idiots like the Westboro Babtist Church began abusing free speech by picketing soldiers funerals yet we still stand by that right, don't we?

LOL!

Here's mine: As a voter and responsible, law-abiding citizen and gun owner I urge you to oppose the firearm ban being proposed by Senator Diane Feinstein.The only thing this (and any similar) bans or stricter gun laws will accomplish is to make following the law more difficult for legal gun owners while doing nothing to reduce violent crime. This has been proven time and time again. The recent violent events in our country are tragic and they sadden myself and I'm sure nearly every citizen in America, but the reality is that semi-automatic weapons have been around for over a century, while this level of shooting spree is a relatively recent phenomenon. There are MIILLIONS of legal gun owners that rely on their weapons for sport & self defense who will suffer from this far more than the isolated lone psychopaths with no regard for life or law. A quick look at nearly any of the past tragic events in this country shows that we clearly have a mental health issue that we need to address, and a knee-jerk reaction by an opportunistic politician will have no greater effect on this problem than banning eating utensils would help to curb obesity. Please use the power of your office to support constructive solutions that address the root cause of these tragedies instead of churning out laws that respond to public panic and media hype.

I have the same setup and I feel it's the best of both worlds. I love DirecTV, and I think Comcasts TV & equipment sucks but they have the best Internet. When Comcasts 1-year promo rate on internet service is up, you can usually re-negotiate as well (tell them Fios is knocking on doors in your area). Another thing most people forget - during an outage like Sandy, once the generator is running, you have TV service. I know a LOT of people who didn't get cableTV back until days after the power was restored. If you have a wife & kids, this can go a long way towards keeping everybody sane in a similar situation!

Yesterday at work 3-4 of my co-workers were having the "no one needs assault weapons" conversation. I asked them to define an assault weapon (they didn't know I own guns). They all looked at each other for a minute not sure and then someone said "well they are semi-automatic so you can just spray bullets into a crowd" I explained that they fire one round per trigger pull just like a revolver and that no mass shooting ever used an "automatic" gun. I did not exactly convert them to gun enthusiasts but they were all a bit surprised at how the media taught them to hate something that they couldn't even define and didn't really understand, and THAT'S the problem in my opinion. Try it yourself - next time you hear that argument just ask someone point-blank to define it. The looks you get are priceless!

Thanks Pizza Bob. I know they overstepped (big surprise), just wasn't sure how much.

I would have done the same. I think lack of sympathy for others and lack of accountability are the root of a lot of society's problems today. But if it makes you feel better, my old lady would have been pissed at me too though!

I am a member of NJ2AS, and I intend to let them know AFTER I get my FID. I know they are not supposed to treat my employer as a reference (and solicit their opinion), but are they supposed to even say what it is in regard to? Considering they contacted them the same day as the CT shooting is splashed all over the news, this could have been a potential disaster for me.

What's the NJ state guidelines for contacting an employer? I thought they were only supposed to verify employment? I just moved to Howell and submitted for my FID change of address, and a friend who works in our office told me that they not only contacted them to verify employment but told them it was regarding a gun permit and from what I'm told my office "ok'd" it. Unfortunately, my source was not supposed to tell me this so I can't find out exactly what was asked, but I thought they weren't supposed to say what it was regarding and not solicit my employers opinion?
