  1. Interesting. I saw a list of 70 some agencies that are imposing limits on law enforcement sales, and it makes me wonder how much of their income is actually derived from government contracts.
  2. Today is the ten week mark on waiting for my P2P's from NJSP Woodbine. 70 days and counting.
  3. My question is- did they ever do business with Milwaukee PD in the first place?
  4. Someone might want to inform them that they have to drop their guns off at their home after the range so they aren't "deviating" from the Home-range-home course I may take part in this, but yeah, $80 is a bit much, especially considering I'm already a member at SJSC, and have already had plenty of safety training.
  5. 2 months and a week(9 weeks) and counting just for P2P.
  6. I called out to the Sgt at the desk at the local barracks after talking to the firearms unit, he said he's been receiving only initial FID's in the past month even though people also put in for P2P's with their initial FID's, which is also in agreement with what the Firearms unit in Trenton told me. Doesn't make sense to me either, but it is what is happening for people who have NJSP as their local department. The several forum members who got their P2P do not have NJSP as their local PD.
  7. Done. If we're successful, NJSP will be SOL since their primary carry gun is a P228.
  8. Woodbine, but I got this info direct from the firearms unit in Trenton.
  9. Talked to NJSP Firearms unit today regarding my P2P which I've now been waiting for, for over 2 months. I got a surprisingly honest employee on the phone. They said in the past month what they've done was processed all retired LEO's applications for FID and or P2P FIRST. Then they started doing all initial FID's for regular old citizens...and now they are just starting to process the P2P's from the past two months. They claim people will be receiving their initial FID's only, even if they also applied for P2P's at the same time, until they catch up. My regular PD is NJSP, so this may not apply to everyone.

    I'm thinking about heading to FL. Need to save up some money, find a place to rent, and a job down there. Tough to do while I'm up here.
  11. I took the Border Patrol test a few years ago, scored a 96. I decided I didn't want to move to Texas where I know no one. I'm signed up to take the corrections test, I got my notice three days ago. I'm taking it March 16th at the Hammonton Middle School.
  12. What's the best place to shoot a Coyote? Head?
  13. What if the panel conclusions conflict with the current laws?
  14. Well, I know that, but do we report it to NJ Fish & Game? I don't have a hunting license or coyote permit or anything.
  15. A NJSP Sergeant told me that they are essentially doing the firearms workload of 20+ departments in Trenton. Are the FID/P2P's processed by the same Firearms unit that does the NICS checks?
  16. I know this is an older thread, but we had a run in with a Coyote last week, during the late afternoon(5pm ish, starting to get dark). We were on a friends farm(private property) repairing a fence. We rode a quad into a wooded section where the fence was damaged. The owners are elderly friends of my friends family. The "farm" is not actively being farmed. As we were using a post hole digger, I spotted a Coyote about 20 yards and closing...growling and showing its teeth. My friend yelled and it didn't even phase it. Luckily the quad was only a few feet away so we jumped on it and took off. We told the owner of the farm, and he said he would make the calls to the state, I believe. We still have yet to go back and finish making the repairs. Possibly this weekend. What would be the legality of bringing a .223 rifle with us for personal defense, and what happens if we do shoot an aggressive coyote with it?
  17. I put in for permits at NJSP Woodbine on 12/20...I'm still waiting.
  18. From what I've read...they heard you...in one ear and out the other. Unfortunately I couldn't make it. My brothers fiance's father passed away last night(cancer sucks! ), so I was helping them out with their dog and some other things.
  19. I live in this "land of happy farmers" and have been waiting 8 weeks on Thursday for 3 P2P from NJSP. It took me 9 months to get my initial FID and a P2P. I have no issues with the police-no arrests, tickets, or any mental issues, so it's not like there is anything to complicate their investigation into me. My only police contact has been to get a FID, and P2P and as a firefighter.
  20. On a handgun this may be true, but a rifle or shotgun might fire off every round. That's if the rounds in the magazine haven't already cooked off.
  21. Question... will they even allow, or have room for all of us? I know for the US Senate Judiciary hearings regarding guns they only allowed about 80-100 people(general public) in. If they don't allow all of us in, what are we supposed to do? Sit around and wait for the bus to head home?
  22. As a firefighter, hearing popping of ammunition has stopped my crew from going into a burning building. I've heard it before, it is definitely audible from the front door of the house. Outside, not as much as you've got the trucks running, people on the radio, air packs whistling etc. That being said, we won't enter until the "popcorn" has stopped popping. We don't know if those rounds are just in packaging or if they are chambered in a gun. The longer they keep popping off, the longer it takes for us to get inside and put the fire out, causing more damage to your home. So...personally, I keep ammo in a fireproof(1 hour) lock box, just because I want firefighters to make entry and get the fire out ASAP, minimizing damage to my home.
  23. If issuing PD is NJSP, do both copies go to Trenton, or does one copy go to the local Barracks?
  24. I've had AT&T since around 2007. It is the only cell provider that actually gets service here at my house, although even AT&T I only get 1 bar. I have to sit in certain spots in my house to use the phone. Other than that issue, I have no complaints with the service at all. Every cell company seems to have a hole right here in my neighborhood, and it seems that no matter how much complaining my neighbors and I do, it won't help.
