Thanks for the update. Looks like i have awhile ahead of me. Just curious, how long did it take them to call your references at first? I think it depends alot on what trooper is assigned your case. atleast i have awhile to save up for what i want i guess. I work with a part time officer and have asked him, says he waits about 2 months for his p2ps but doesnt have to deal with OGAM.

shield, if you can find one

BAR S?!?!? you can get a package of them for $1. Hot dogs are iffy enough but i refuse to even try those! HEBREW NATIONAL ALL THE WAY!!

i understand some of the whole .40 vs 9mm debate but with the right ammo the ballistics are not quite different. I'd go for the extra rounds of the 9mm over the .40. just my opinion.

you are correct. sorry but thats NJ

Thanks for the rec but that thing looks like it belongs on the millennium falcon! lol

11 months!!!! thats friggin outrageous!!!!

doesnt the fixed stock accept a pad to give it alittle more length?

eventually if she finds enough interested in it i might just have her go and get an FID and a p2p so she can have her own to bring, legally without and issues. But since we have a 20 month old and a 7 month old its hard enough for me to get the range, let alone both of us. We were just lucky enough today that my inlaws baby sat while we went.

thanks guys, i was thinking something like the SR22 might fit her good. Im waiting on 3 P2Ps and have a atleast a few months left of waiting so we'll see what happens. I was also thinking the 12ga would be too much, really in the back of my mind i knew she wouldn't shoot it but i just wanted to see her reaction when i did. and it was priceless!!

AND SHE LOVED IT!!!! Think i may have converted her. When i brought guns into the house she was afraid and against them but dealt with it. We went to RAF in PA (probably not the best place for a beginner) but she had blast, not afraid of the noise at all. I brought the M&P 15/22, M&P22, SD9 and Savage 12ga. We started off with the 15/22 but she was unable to shoot it correctly since shes only 5' even and the stock is pinned all the way back (im 6'6" so its fine for me). So next i took out the M&P22, had a bunch of fail to feeds but once we got her stance good and elbows locked that went away. Then came the SD9, well she was alittle caught of guard after shooting the .22s but still had fun with it. Her aim was all over the place but that'll come with time. Range officer told her stay away from the 12ga so i only put a few rounds threw it myself. Her face was priceless though when i showed her the size of the shells compared the .22, lol. Anyway she put about 250 rnds of .22 through the M&P22 and had a blast with it, that was deff her favorite to shoot. All in all a good time! She was all smiles on the way out and the RO even said something to her about the grin she had. Now its time to clean the guns.... thats my job, lol. Side note, she does not have an FID nor is interested just yet on owning any guns. But the M&P22 was just a little too large for her hands. Would i be able to go to a shop and let her hold and look for a smaller .22 pistol that i can buy for her to use? I would be in complete control of it at all time, locked in my safe and only used under my supervision so it would be 100% my gun but just something smaller for her to have fun with.....

ammo prices??

i doubt it, with such a low round count i dont think its been tried.

wow, 3 friggins weeks! congrats! state police told me id be waiting 5 months for mine when i handed it in on tues. your one of the lucky ones, enjoy!

as long as it doesn't have a pistol grip, magazine that holds more than 6, barrel length has to be over 18" and not an adjustable stock

is this helping us at all? who do we contact to get these wait times down?

Yup! very bizzare and I will never go back there again, couldn't believe they took my license plate down even after I went in to patronize them. Turned around and walked out after that. and to think we were do everything right?! Hows the marlin treating you BTW?

maybe he just told me that in hopes I wouldn't be one to call every 30 days? I dunno just seems crazy that they can call my references 3 hours after I drop off the app and yet tell me 5 months.... I was standing next to one of my references (call lasted all of 30 seconds with rapid no's and one yes (can he handle a gun). and the other reference called my 5 minutes later telling me he got the call.....

I don't get it, maybe the real hold up is at the central office and not individual barracks/municipalities. I handed in the app at 12:30pm today on my lunch break, BOTH of my references have already received a phone call from the officer as of 3:00pm today. Both were asked the normal 10 questionaire. hmmmm.......

thanks, I hope so too, but if I get them right in time for tax season I might actually be able to use all 3. so I guess I cant buy any long guns in the mean time, but I can still buy ammo correct? just not online since the address wont match, unless anyone knows of online retailers don't ask for an NJ FID?

Handed in my paperwork for a change of address and 3 pistol permits to red lion state police barracks. I asked the aprox wait time knowing deep down I would be let down, and what do you know I was told 5+ MONTHS!!!!! I cant believe how some towns can actually be reasonable and get it done in 30-60 days and I have to wait 5 Fing months. Well hopefully ill get them in time for tax season atleast... but now I cant buy anything for awhile. I guess I should get paperwork ready for 3 more p2ps and hand them in when I pick up my new ones. Sorry for the vent but what ever happened to shall not be infringed? pretty sure a 5 month wait for a permit is infringing...... ahh my head is boiling.... I know I know I should move to a free state but that's not possible... anyway ill update as the process moves along...

i say good job on the police officers part, i mean really, shouldnt have to bury your only child? what about the 15 year old child he allegedly tried to kill? maybe you should have been a better parent/aunt to the kid rather than letting him running around at 3am with a gun.... No sympathy from me either, itll save NY money for not having to keep him in jail anyway.

cool, i always love the extra freebies

out of curiosity what are these extra "goodies" bcm sends you?
