NRA Basic Pistol student handguns
I am taking NRA instructor and Basic Pistol in Oct. When I took the class as a student we worked our way up from .22lr to .45ACP using both revolvers and semi automatic handguns. I have the following I could use to teach the class Sig 230 .380ACP Ruger 6" GP100 38Spl Beretta 92fs or Glock 17 9MM Glock 22 40SW Kimber 5" 1911 .45ACP I need a .22LR to start students off with. What .22 revolver would you recommend for this purpose? Would I be better served with a semi auto ..22lr or perhaps a conversion for the G17 to .22lr? I am thinking best to offer at least two revolvers...

ATF coming tomorrow for a "Visit"
Also, she said with c&r I was exempt from one gun a month for c&r handguns.... I told her that is not what state police are telling people... She said she would call them to iron it out and get back to me...

ATF coming tomorrow for a "Visit"
I met with the agent this morning. We spent 1 1/2 hours reviewing rules and regulations. There is a check list you sign off on at the end attesting to everything she covered. A few weird questions What pets do you have? Do you have a fence? Do you have any hidden rooms? Do you have a locked storage room? We sat at the kitchen table had coffee and BS'ed She discussed 50 shades of grey with my wife and highly recommended book #3. At the end I showed her Nappens book and what it said about c&r's in NJ. She seemed to think stuff like that sold books. She commented that she had only done a few c&r inspections in 25 years and only once notified the state police of an issue.

ATF coming tomorrow for a "Visit"
I don't have to let ATF in for inspections... I could bring my collection to them if I choose... As far as the state police barging in my house..... I'm not so sure about that... However, this is not the first time i have heard mention of State Police barging in a front door and cavity searching the entire family(including the Dog) because someone had a C&R. Internet hype or insightful warnining??? You be the judge... I would love to hear first hand from someone on the issue....

ATF coming tomorrow for a "Visit"
As part of the C&R FFL ATF does a visit at home. A very nice lady called the house this morning and my wife answered as I was not home. My wife took took a message and asked the lady if she was calling from our alarm company (ADT). She said no and told my wife what ATF stood for. I called back ATF to setup an appointment for tomorrow. The lady made sure I knew I could not get c&r guns mailed to me. Then asked why I wanted one ., I told her to avoid NIC's check fees on out of state C&R purchases at gun shows. She was satisfied with the answer. I'll let you know how the "vist" goes...

Purchased 2 guns from Meltzers tonight
If you leave with a used handgun they put it in a plastic grocery bag and tie it closed... " securely tied package." I got my sig .380ACP used for them 8 years ago like that... Did not know enough back then to question it.

TSA/Portable type Mini Gun Safe purchase /comparison
I purchased two mini Gun Safes from Ramsey Outdoors and was surprised regarding quality differences Safe A - GunVault model NV300 Key Lock $29.99 Safe B - LockDown model 222133 Combination Lock $19.00 The key vs combo lock mechanism were both the same price in there respective brand. GunVault key and combo both $29.99. LockDown key and combo both &19.99. So if you are in the market for one of these Travel Safes I would recommend the LockDown Brand hands down over the GunVault Brand. If they were both the same quality the LockDown brand is 1/3 less money so that alone would rate a strong recommend. The LockDown brand has the following advantages. 1)The foam padding is about twice as firm and will retain support for much longer. 2) The cable lock has a steel washer to help resist pulling through. 4) The four pre drilled holes have an extra reinforcing plate across the bottom of the case mailing it twice as think across bottom. 5) Four matched size wood screws are included. 6) The lockup is much tighter when closed with no flex in the lid. 7) The vertical tab that the latch engages into is part of the bottom plate bent 90 degrees, not spot welded. 8) The mat black finish has a texture non slip grip. When flying/driving out of state out of state my 3 Carry gun options I'll have with me. Glock 27 .40SW Ruger LCP .380ACP NAA Mini .22WMR They should all fit nicely in one safe. The mags/Ammon Lockdown brand has the guns in it Lockdown brand is the key lock

Purchased 2 guns from Meltzers tonight
Oh I forgot to mention he put the gun in a plastics grocery type shopping bag, tied it closed and sent me on my way... I ask if this was legal.. He said sure... Just keep it in the trunk driving home.... I alway knew the statute says "securely tied package"... Just never thought I would be taking advantage of it.... I'm more of a locked box kind of guy.

Purchased 2 guns from Meltzers tonight
I have the CCW permits already and have carried My G27 and NAA guardian .380. The G27 is to big. The NAA Guardian .380 was too heavy. When I got it 10 years ago it was the motts for CCW... Times have changed. The Ruger LCP is half the weight and the same size. Then NAA .22mag Mini is for the days I just don't feel like carrying a gun. I have no excuse not to at least have that.. I'll still carry the G27 if I was going to a bad area or out late at night but the guardian is headed to the safe.

Purchased 2 guns from Meltzers tonight
I got a Ruger LCP .380 list price was $339 got it for $319 plus tax and nics Also got a spare Mag list was $29.99 got it for $26.99 Put a down payment on a NAA .22 Mag with conversion cylinder, barrel 1 1/8" List was $289 got it for $269. They have to order it. Basically they were not budging on price until I offered to get multiple guns. Everything was great service wise.. Only small complaint was when I ask them to demonstrate how to take down the Ruger. They basically so no at first. The salesman did not know how. We had already worked out the price and I said I was buying it so I said I can buy a gun with out seeing how it takes down. He then took out the manual and fumbled thru it for me.

If H.R. 822 passes I plan to....
If H.R. 822 the national right to carry bill passes NJ residents with an out of state non resident ccw from say Utah would be able to carry everywhere in the country except in NJ( your home state) If this passes I plan to purchases a little place in PA and change my state of residence. We have been talking about getting a place when the kids finish school but I would do it now instead.

Glock knives
I have one and use as my goto knife. It bounces around my trunk, get used abused and keeps on working great. I like the extra thick blade. Doubles as a pry bar For the money I think it is a good value... What would you recommend over the Glock knife for $29 or less to beat the crap out of? I was thinking of getting another for when we take my wife's SUV. Need it for cutting, chopping, prying, banging and abusing.

Can I legally go to The Firing-Line in Pearl River, NY
About 10 years ago I looked into this and spoke to the staff. They informed me it was ok to shoot there since they were NRA instructors and had an Exibit display. The exibt dates were from jan 1 thru dec 31st., they offered a photo Id card, a flyer regarding the exhibit and a letter from their attorney giving his opinion it was legal. He then said all the local ny cops shot there and were fine with it, he suggested to cross the borded right there not take palisades or 287 to the thruway as state troopers might not be familiar with the "exhibit exemption". He a.said x% of his customers were from NJ ( I forgot the percent). I did my own research and decided not to go since Patterson rod and gun was open at that time and about the same distance.

Private handgun sales
So not that I "know" her recently purchased a handgun. He "Must" show me the copy of the recent p2p? That is the only way I can be certain or not sell until 30 days from now.

Private handgun sales
I have a few for sale in the hopper now. Someone expressed interest in buying a handgun but mentioned they recently purchased an handgun and want to know if private sales still had to wait 30 days? I believe they do but how to I confirm I am not selling it to him to soon? I do not know the exact date he last purchased. I may ask to see his copy of the recent P2P but if he never mentioned it I would not have known? Who gets in trouble if it is less then 30 days?

Meltzer's =)
I am likely going to trade the 4 gun I have listed in the WTS section here at Meltzers in two week or so if they do not sell FTF. They have Sig P238 I want in stock and can get the NAA mini .22WM in 3-4 days they said.

Ventured to America
Any black rifles or pistols? The Dicks Sporting by me only sell rifles your grand daddy might have owned. Bolt actions rifles and break top shotguns. Nothing tactical or for self defense was in stock.

Selling / Trading attempt #2
It took 10 minutes but eventually did find the link to become a Premium Member.. It could benefit from Permium Placement on the main page. Sorry for the first attempt...I signed up for 12 months Premium so I hope a re post is appropriate. If not close it down and I will drop it. http://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-ffl3H96_2_c/UB1ypO5La3I/AAAAAAAAZ-k/YxrccgEPuhg/s2048/IMAGE_33B4C9E3-1B44-4080-AC42-3197EBABB7DB.PNG I was hoping for info before postings a WTS here of perhaps some sort of dedicated site for that. Here goes.. About how much percent could I gain FTF vs and ffl trade in? If I use an auction, with the fees and such is it worth it vs a trade in at the FFL. I am not looking for cash back, buying guns if that makes a difference. Has anyone delt with Meltzers in Garfield? Would if be worth the trip to one of our sponsors?

Trading / selling handguns
I would lke to sell / trade the following to fund the purchase of a Ruger LCP .380 and a NAA Mini .22WMR 1 1/8bbl revolver. Can I get some input on the best way to liquidate these? GunBroker Auction FTF in NJ Trade-in at my FFL Where is the best place to list for a FTF private sales? The closest FFL is Meltzers in Garfield for a trade-in. Are they fair? Is listing in Auction worth the hassle ?
