This is a great topic, and quite relevant because I too have 1 P2P left and as soon as the Christmas bills are paid will be looking for another handgun.

This does sound too good to pass up...I may have to start my first build

Wrong forum or not glad to hear about bringing someone else into the wonderful world of shooting. I took my wife shooting for the first time this summer and she had a great time as well, she definitely gained a different perspective on guns and now can't wait to go again!

I teach at a university in Newark and we get notified about any crime on or near campus. You would not believe how many robberies, assaults, etc. occur that never even make the papers.

Just a question, I was at a local gun store and a gentleman came in to purchase some 9mm and the salesman behind the counter asjed to see his FID. The gentleman making the purchase informed him that he didn't have an FID and really didn't know what it was since he was from out of state, PA I believe. He was informed that he could not purchase said handgun ammo without an FID or pistol purchase permit but when he informed them that he had a PA CCW permit, which he showed them and they sold him the ammo. So, my question, is this correct?

I agree, you definitely have to shop and be patient. Sometimes they do have some good deals, but not always. I did find some .38 for $15 a box and some good .243 for $16 a box.

Sportsman's guide has another free shipping deal, 3 days only, now until 29-Dec. Use code SH1031 at checkout.

This and go very slowly with as much pressure as you can

Congrats and good luck, let us know how she shoots. 243 is one of my favorite calibers.

Got my gift card yesterday

We had a non competitive school sponsored rifle "club", met just like any of the other clubs, and this was in the early 80's.

Cherry Ridge and in the woods by my house. My father used to take me and my brother and sister shooting at Cherry Ridge, we started with 22 and moved up from there. I started around age 6 and moved to shotgun around 10 or so. Used to shoor 2 or 3 times a week as a kid. Lots of great memories!

No, not too soon, actually we need to start some conversations now with our state representatives about our lack of ability to protect ourselves and the fact that we do not have a real CCW option in NJ.

Funny and sad at the same time...

2 days early, happy and safe Christmas to everyone!

Would never in a million years ever root for the Eagles or the Cowgirls. No matter how bad my Giants are! And they did manage to beat the Raiders in a very sloppy game.

Yep- you definitely have to shop around, but they do have some good buys if you are patient. I found some .38 for $15 per box and I found some remmy slugs for $3 and change per box.

Thanks!

How are those...they look interesting

I am in as well...

Time for some eggnog!

This is definitely the way to go, you will need to learn how to use the basic measuring tools, verniers, calipers, micrometers, gauges, indicators etc. and also as Brian stated lathes and milling machines, also probably precision grinders. You will probably have to learn some tig & mig welding and brazing as well.

Yea- me too!

Yea- I buy stuff from them whenever the $$$ is right and when ever I get free shipping. I think there are 2 free shipping codes that are still in affect- SH1831 and SH1013

Shotgun- 870 with a rifled barrel (and 28" imp choke barrel for birds/clays) , Rifle- Remington 700 XCR tactical long range in 300 win mag
