Count me in on any jam session...

Congrats, the rest of us are very jealous!

Nice- I had a Peavey for years, loved it. Unfortunately it burned up in a fire at one of the bars we played at. I got my money's worth though, Peavey makes great stuff, and their tube amps sound great. Good luck!

Same here, on average it takes anywhere from 5 to 7 months each time I apply for a change of address or P2Ps

If you are not already a member join the NJ2AS, then get some of your friends and relatives to join as well. Also you can donate directly to NJ2AS.

My wife wasn't a full blown anti, but was skeptical, at least as to why anyone would "need" a gun. Then came Hurricane Sandy and when our whole neighborhood was without power except our house with the portable generator, and there were reports on the radio of people stealing gas and generators, and there were quite a few cars driving through our neighborhood at all hours of the night. The first thing se said was..."I am so glad you have your guns, I couldn't imaging being in this mess without any protection for the family." Next was when the Boston suspects were at large and the entire city was basically under a lock-down. She had the same response- "how could someone ever protect themselves under these circumstances without a gun." She has since been to the range on several occasions and loves shooting.

I bought powder, primers and shot from a store called Rockaway Sales in Franklin NJ. My parents were with me but I would pick it up and pay for it no questions asked when i was probably 12 or so.

Actually, my area is mostly pro 2A conservatives, unfortunately I am forced to go through the NJSP, which can take FOREVER!

My initial FID took less than 2 weeks back in 1985.

I would have to say American Sniper was by far my favorite book EVER!

It sounds like you are about a month or so ahead of me.

As sad as it is, I would be thrilled with a 3 month turnaround. I hit the 4 month mark yesterday and when I called the NJSP they told me to expect at least another 1-2 months.

Just called the Hamilton NJSP and they told me that my P2P, which I submitted in early June, was sent to the Firearms Investigation Unit for approval on Sept-24 and from there it "normally" takes an additional 30 to 60 days. So I am most realistically looking at some time in mid to late November for my permits, which will be roght around the 5-6 month time frame.

I have an 870 that my father bought in 64' and gave to me after I graduated college. I have used it for trap and skeet and slugs and it is still my go to shotgun. And it still shoots perfectly after all these years, especially after a few years when I used to shoot 3-4 times a week and went through 100-150 rounds at a time.

Not that has any relevance to the OP, but that never stopped me before. Was a member of CR for many years as a kid, and this was way before there were any ROs. As teenagers, on occasion we used to go 4-wheeling on Cherry Ridge road, which cut right through the 300 yard range. One night, I guess it was after they hired their first official RO, we were driving down Cherry Ridge Road, and instead of simply asking us not to drive down there any more, he decided to take a shot at us with his shotgun. Since we were technically trespassing on their property we didn't really have a legal lag to stand on, but one of the people that was with us did report it to the local police. I don't know what the outcome was, I think it was about the time I was went off to college.

Got a Co2 powered Crossman .177 cal pellet gun when I turned 10, probably put 20-30k rounds through it. That was almost 40 years ago and I still have it. When I returned from college my father gave me his 870 and when I turned 21 the first pistol I bought was my 686. I put 100 rounds through it yesterday and it still runs great

I sure hope the NJSP have started doing this as well, because I submitted my P2Ps in June and my references have not been contacted yet.

In a simple one word answer...yes

I have a Savage MK II as well, it is a great trainer and great for kids (and my overly recoil sensitive wife)

4 months and counting for my last batch of P2Ps. Submitted them in early June and last time I called the NJSP they told me it would be "another couple of months".

I know that area well, we used to call that Rattle Snake Mountain, right down the road from the old Gary's Vernon Lodge. I think Gary's is called the Vernon Inn (or sopmething like that). A good friend of mine bought that bar from Dennis Gary and his father Rudy rears ago. We used to go hiking there quite ofteh as kids, really nice area.

I typically get out 2-3 times a month, I have 3 kids so I have to rotate taking one each week.. And the range is 30 minutes from my house.

Or .50 cals for that mater!

It would be more like this- 1- 9-1-13 am on dispatcher's desk 2- 10-2-13 am on detectives desk 3- 11-3-13 am in trash can 4- 12-2-13- call from applicant, officer says it is with trenton 5- 2-2-14 call from applicant, officer says it is with firearms unit 6- 3-4-14 - call from applicant officer says it is back in trenton 7 - 4-4-14 call from applicant, officer says don't call us, we will call you when it is ready 8- 7-4-14 call from applicant officer says he will look into it and gat back 9- 9-2-14 call from applicant, officer says he has no paperwork you need to resubmit even though your check cleared

My thoughts exactly.
