Ok, first review of the park. We went today. We called out to see if we could ride today(nothing else to do). They said yes, and that no one showed up for the afternoon riding session(we were the only riders after 12:30). Saw at least 20-25 people out riding the trails, on the way to the park. So we rode out around 2:45. First gate- two state rangers, they ask for license, registration and insurance. We go through to the next set of people- state forest officials. They ask to see license, registration and insurance again, then make us fill out some form. We get onto the track and it's crap. All deep soft sand. There are no berms, it's rutted up from the 6 or 7 morning riders. There are 3 jumps which you can't jump because you can't get enough speed going with the sand. I'm not running the best tires right now for sandy soil(Pirelli XCMH- medium to hard terrain). We did a lap in about 2.5 minutes. After about 6 laps I had massive arm pump due to trying to keep the bike going straight in the sand. Overall, they tried. Just the amount of people I saw riding on the trails, illegally, just goes to show that people have no ambition to PAY for registration and insurance only to legally be allowed to ride in a crappy off road park. They said in about 2-3 weeks it will be turned over to a contractor and they are going to allow them to do WHATEVER they want to the park. They can go full motocross track, or keep it how it is, charge money etc. Honestly, it's free and all, but I have no ambition to ride there ever again unless they get some serious gravel or crushed asphalt to mix into the sand to firm it up a bit. Kind of a bad picture, but I wasn't there to be a photographer This is it. There are no more hidden areas or trails or anything. What you see in this picture is the entire park.

Done.

Just want to report that Belleplain Supply has some serious gouging going on. He is selling AR's for $3500(well, he may not actually be selling them, they are still on the shelves ). Heard from another LGS that said they(guys from Belleplain Supply) came in and bought all of their AR's at $1200 a piece and is reselling them at his shop for $3500/rifle. 20 rounds of PMC ammo- $50.00.

I'm in for 2.

Gun For Hire has not replied to my PM or e-mail. According to an RSO at SJSC, they apparently would come down to do CCW processing pretty regularly. I asked in the e-mail when they would be coming down again as it isn't on any of their schedules. The next NJ2AS meeting is at Gun For Hire, which is 135 miles from here, a bit of a hike to get fingerprints done. I've asked a couple retired LEO's I know to ask around for me and see if they can find an officer to do them for me. If I cannot find someone in the next 2 weeks(until next NJ2AS meeting), I'll talk to my friends about car-pooling and driving up there for it. Everything else is completed ready to mail out.

I'm trying to apply for my FL CCW(non-resident) permit. As I'm sure many of you may know, the fingerprints must be done by a law enforcement agency. My local LE is NJSP. NJSP now contracts through Sagem Morpho for any non-arrest related need(firearms). Since Sagem Morpho isn't a LE agency, that doesn't fulfill the FL requirement for the fingerprinting. I've tried a bunch of different local municipalities to see if they would do it, and they all switched to electronic fingerprinting- for arrests only, and don't even have the ink anymore. I also tried my County Sheriff and was told no. Not trying to "bash" them but, I PM'd and e-mailed(over 2 weeks ago) Gun For Hire to see when they would be coming to Winslow(South Jersey Shooting Club) for CCW processing, and did not get a reply to either, although my PM was marked as "read". Any ideas of where to get fingerprinted(or anyone know a "friendly" PD that might do it near Cape May County)? I also have 3 other friends in the same predicament.

I'd be surprised if you see 100 people there. Depending on what the fed's do, I may or may not go. If the fed's crack down worse than NJ's current laws, then it won't help much protesting our state house; it has to be a DC protest.

Does this include one in the "chamber"?

"Might" If Dianne Feinstein has her way, even this Caveman's AR-15 will be banned.

$265 and 72 bids? I appreciate the laugh, but I can't believe someone is actually willing to spend that much on a rock

Smooth transaction. Thank you for helping me make my home more "secure".

Nope.

Law enforcement while on duty is exempt from the cell phone law(I only quoted the section that specifically exempts them): Seems completely safe to have a firefighter driving a 60,000lb+ truck, that is 40ft long, lights and sirens while talking on the phone.

Well as it was said pertaining to the February demonstration, you have to secure a permit to demonstrate there. Apparently the guy from NJ2AS was looking for a head count(for the Feb demonstration) to give to NJSP as well.

Sorry, I just keep seeing it on other gun forums I belong to, and I could have sworn I saw it on here too...but alas I cannot find it.

Maybe I'm getting my forums mixed up, sorry.

There hasn't been like 5 threads on this already or anything.

I've never really found Sportsmans Guide to have that great of prices.

I have two friends, and we all use each other for references. Last time we put in for permits all at the same time, and we asked if we could just answer the questions in person since we were all there. They told us no, and that they would be in contact with us.

He probably does. Just like Feinstein.

NJSP calls my references and asks the questions. Takes no more than two minutes.

I'm left eye dominant and right handed. I shoot rifle and shotgun left handed, and pistol right handed. I keep both eyes open when shooting pistol.

This. If the Chief retired, it falls on who ever is next in line- Deputy Chief, Captain, LT etc.

Hollow points are legal for use in your home for self defense and for use at the range. Not sure what you mean by "carry" since NJ doesn't allow its citizens to carry

This is a range in a WMA. No centerfires, no pistols. Must have current valid NJ Hunting permit. People dump their trash there and then shoot at it. It's really the worst "range" I've ever been to. People that go there have no concept of safety.
