Long time, no update, but my local PD finally got all the letters. A few weeks after they confirmed receiving it, the detective says my application is still "pending", and I "should wait for letter to come in the mail once it's done". *Sigh* 155 days and counting :-/

Piers Morgan is covering the Boston Marathon bombing tonight. We are officially free from the reigns of gun control freaks. Lol.

This kills me. I hate hearing "oh yeah, it's Bush's fault that we're in the Middle East!"

I just emailed him earlier. The clinic has been sold out, but I believe the John C. Garand match is still open (waiting for a reply). In this link (http://www.centraljerseyhighpower.com/hp_events/hp_m1_garand.cfm) it says in bold "All participants at least 18 years old will qualify to purchase an M-1 Garand from the CMP!" This is for the match, not the clinic. But hey, it's not like I have a choice now, hahaha.

I'm assuming this would fulfill the marksmanship requirement for the CMP as well? This sounds like it's more up my alley.

With the instruction for newcomers, would you recommend this competition for someone with minimal firearms experience, especially with the M1 Garand?

HAHAHAHA this made my night.

Ask her how she expects us to pay off the debt. Show her this site. http://www.usdebtclock.org/ He promised us the cut the debt in half by 2012. I believe he doubled it by 2012. Tell her that she'll either be paying that for the rest of her life in taxes, or will have to live through a complete economic crash, due to our government's incompetent economic policies.

Holy crap, please wear this. Your butt will be dismissed in 10 seconds. Hahahahahaha

Two Tony's In Linden. Jesus Christ, they make a good pizza. Reggio's in Union is also pretty good.

Done. I love how every time a poll is posted on this website, it just so happens that the results show a pro-gun majority. We do our jobs right

Gotta agree with everyone else and say M1 Garand. I love that, due to a lack pistol grip and detachable magazine, having a Garand doesn't make you look "sinister". I gotta get me $1300 so I can get one from Garand Guy in Rahway!!!

This is Linden. I'm either going to 1. bring my reference in person 2. hand deliver the letter if he ever gets it , or 3. scan it and email it (if my neighbor ever receives it). Thanks for the responses, guys. I'll keep everyone updated.

brocglock23 - Damn, I was considering it but hoped it didn't have to go that far. My neighbor is super nice, but I'd hate to be an annoying fly on his back. *sigh*, looks like I'm gonna have to bake some pastries to not have him hate me... lol elgre - You know what, I'm gonna give them a call tomorrow and see if I can do that. That'll be a great idea if my PD allows it.

...but my town's PD is seriously screwing with me. Reference letters were sent from the PD at the start of March, and my references sent them back promptly. I called at the end of March, and they never received my neighbor's letter. They said they were going to send another one out to my neighbor. Two weeks later, my neighbor has yet to receive it. What the heck can I do at this point? I already met with my mayor, which is the reason why my reference letters actually got sent the first time around. I've got a rifle waiting for me at Monmouth Arms, and it's been there since January.. Any advice, guys? Edit: I applied for my FID on November 15th of last year.

Welcome to the forums, Keith! Best of luck with your case. You have my support.

Let's rally them all and send them to NYC. Stupid effing people...

Well that's good to hear. AFAIK, the ACLU has been pretty voiceless on gun rights, right?

As a college student, I've got nothing in the area of a career yet, but will be on the same boat as you once I finally reach that point. I'm hope that networking and making friends within the field I'd like to be in will help me get out of here.

HOLY ARIZONA! Man, who wants to be my room-mate(s) when we all move there?

Now that's awesome. This gets my vote. Lee-Enfield No. 5 Jungle Carbines are really expensive now. I'd absolutely love to have one if I had the money.

wwmarcww, from what I've read, I hope you're sticking with the Wingmaster if you buy a new 870. I've read time and time again that the newer Remington 870 Express models have some quality-control issues. But, the Wingmaster and Police models seem good to go. This isn't from personal experience though.

Aside from their unlimited wings night, Buffalo Wild Wings sucks. Most of their flavors are crappy so you're forced to get a lot of servings to figure what's good. But even with the unlimited wings night, it took my friends and I one hour to get seated and 3 hours to get through our meal. That's alright, most chain-restaurants suck anyway.

IANAL. Here is an excerpt from Vlad Tepes "NJ Gun law Summary" sticky: "No person under 18 may possess, carry, fire, or use a firearm except: • In the actual presence or under the direct supervision of a parent or guardian, or some other person who holds a Permit to Carry or FID; or • For the purpose of military drill under the auspices of a legally recognized military organization and under competent supervision; or • For the purpose of competition or target practice on a firing range approved by the governing body of the municipality in which the range is located or the National Rifle Association and which is under competent supervision at the time of such supervision or target practice; or • For the purpose of hunting during the regularly designated hunting season, provided he possesses a valid hunting license and has successfully completed a hunter’s safety course." So, the child can USE the firearm under direct supervision, but not own one. Again, IANAL.
