Major RT78 Accident
Happened today. Got pulled over for 80ish in a 65 with guns, ammo and accessories in the trunk. Also had a target frame in my back seat. Possible ticket turned into talking about the woes of turkey hunting NJ.

Joined Easton Fish and Game
Had a good time. Glen's buddy definitely out shot me... with my own gun. For the money, I don't think you can beat EFGA. I'll be joining this week.

The Official NJGF Photo Thread!
A good week at casa de Alpo: On the right: New (to me) H&R Ultra Slug 12ga made in 2001, wearing a 3-9 Bushnell Banner scope. On the left: New Marlin Model 60 (+1 for Lou's in Raritan), wearing a cheap, but accurate, Tasco 3-7x20 scope. Took them out to Clinton WMA with the wife today. Good time, but my shoulder will be complaining about those 3" slugs tomorrow.

RTSP "first time" shooter question
Looking at the website, it states that "All first time shooters will be required to take our 15 Minute Intro Class for $25." Does that mean actual first time shooters or everyone who hasn't shot at RTSP before? Thanks in advance guys. Search-before-posting-a-new-topic-disclaimer: I did, didn't find anything on this.

Help with applying for FPID
As everyone else said, unemployed has no bearing on your application. It's "shall issue". You can only be denied for the statutory reasons (convicted felon, domestic violence, mental health, etc). As for morphotrack, they're the company we all had to use. Just fill out the form and get printed. And then get ready to wait...

What's an inexpensive .38 old revolver
You can find Ruger SP101's, NIB, for around $500. Also (for a few $s more), I saw a nice looking GP100, 4" blued at Effinger yesterday for $589

Fixed Blade Length
Yeah, this literally means that possession of any knife is a crime, unless there is a lawful purpose for same. What constitutes a lawful purpose is vague (of course), will be interpreted inconsistently and places the burden of explaining said lawful purpose on the citizen. As noted ad infinitum here and elsewhere, self defense is NOT a lawful purpose.

RTSP BIG EXPANSION!!!!!!!
Seriously! This area is the worst. An hour of shooting = 3 hours out of my day.

P2P extension after the 90 days
I'd only add that I *think* it has to be extended before it expires.

'Che' Manuscripts Added to UNESCO Heritage Program
I wouldn't read too much into it. That collection also has a copy of the Diary of Anne Frank, the communist manifesto, several slave registries, a manual on the baptism of slaves and the Wizard of Oz. In other words a little but of everything that has any historical significance.

I was going to the quick chek across the street and just decided to head in.

Lou's Firearms - Customer Review
So I just stopped in to Lou's on my lunch break. I dealt with Chris, who showed me the guns I was looking for and explained a bunch of stuff about them. He also pulled out some other comparable guns so I could get a feel for the differences. While we were talking, he asked if I had anything against 1911s (I don't, but never shot one). He offered to show me some of theirs and again was very knowledgeable and informative. And all this after I told him that I don't have any P2Ps at the moment. Also, pretty good inventory. Overall a great experience. I wouldn't hesitate to go back and give them my business.

Stafford Forge WMA is a mess. Anyway to get it improved?
Yes, at least one person in your party has to have a valid NJ hunting licesnse. The WMA ranges are maintained through hunting license and permit fees and are meant to provide hunters the opportunity to practice with their hunting arms.

Been waiting for my FPID and P2P since Jan.
I'm in Edison, as well. My address change when I moved here took from late August to mid February. I did get monthly calls from the officer handling it starting around the 3 month mark, telling me that my last town's PD was unrepsonsive in forwarding some info or other that they needed. I put in for a set of permits not recently. We'll see how long that takes. ********* FYI, our mayor is a big anti. As in she didn't want the police dept. to sell their old duty weapons to licensed dealers because somehow those guns might end up on the street. She would rather the town (ie me and you) take the $50k loss. For the children, of course "I’m hoping, going forward, that we’re able to do something to try to protect our children." http://www.nj.com/middlesex/index.ssf/2012/12/mayor_cites_connecticut_school.html Don't expect much help from her.

How to buy a handgun online? (first time)
I know it's not none of my business, but for what's essentially an 8% discount, I pay the extra 40 bucks and go local. Also, some dealers, like OMG Customs in Bayonne, are located in urban enterprise zones, so their sales tax is only 3.5%, bringing the total down to $584 on a $550 gun. Lastly, it might be worth calling/stopping in to the guy doing the transfer for you and asking if he can order that gun. he might be able to get you the same/similar price out the door. Again, not my money and not my business, just a suggestion. Otherwise, you've got the online process down. Good luck.

Do I really need to wait 6 months for my FID and P2P?
Nope, by statute, the processing fee is the $5 for FID, $2 per permit.

What to choose?
Glock. (and I'm big Ruger fan). A. Size: Unless you want to pocket carry in basketball shorts, the G27 isn't all that much bigger than the LC9 and the weight difference is about 4 1/2 oz. B. Firepower: For the extra weight and thickness of the Glock, you're also gaining 2 more rounds. Of .40 C. Function: From everything I've read/seen, the Ruger is less 'refined' and has a loooooong trigger pull. As in you'll almost be against the rear of the trigger guard before it breaks. And the reset is just as long. That's if it resets (commonly reported problem). D. Sights: As much as people complain about the sights on Glocks, the LC9 is no slouch in the sucky sights department. Of course, a laser mitigates some of that, but laser or not, sight picture matters. E. Safeties: What's that you say? Safeties? Plural? On a small carry gun? Yup. In addition to the (doesn't really bother me) loaded chamber indicator, the LC9 has a (tiny) thumb safety and a mag disconnect safety. F. Not that you'll actually be changing magazines, because NIB, Ruger gives you one magazine. One. (vs three on gen 4 Glocks) G. Price: Normally this would go the other way, but since it sounds like it's coming from freebieland, the Glock is the higher dollar value gun. H. Manual of arms: You own a Glock and hence are familiar with the way they run. By all accounts the LC9 takes some getting used to, even as compared to other guns one may never have used before. Overall, for a usefully chambered ccw gun (ie > .380 ACP), the Block* 27 has it all over the Ruger (except for looks, of course, but that's just a given). *not a typo. This is not to say the LC9 is sucks. On the contrary, it seems like a good gun for what it's supposed to do. But it's not really in the same category as the G27. Just my opinon....

Do I really need to wait 6 months for my FID and P2P?
Whoa, whoa, whoa. It's $5.00 for inital FID, $2.00 for each handgun permit. THAT'S IT. The fingerprint fee ($57.50) gets paid directly to Sagem Morpho And what balance of payments? How much are they charging you altogether?
