I paid 30 a box for 45.

ANJRPC disappointed me when their response to the gun bills was "rallies are nice but we are working behind the scenes." But Cherry Ridge is a bargain and is pretty much the closest place for me to shoot. They also were part of the right to carry suit. Scott Bach is also well spoken at the assembly and senate hearings. Anthony Colandro is the vp of ANJRPC by the way, and I know he has his heart and soul in this fight. So plenty of good reasons for me to support ANJRPC.

I joined all three and others. Here is why. NRA has name recognition. The NRA is the bogeyman among antis. I love that, which is why I support them. Yes, they may be willing to compromise but we as members can put the brakes on some of it. In the end we need the NRA. They support a lot of programs including youth, safety and responsible firearms use. I initially joined ANJRPC for Cherry Ridge. But I support them fully in the activism and other efforts. I believe the ANJRPC is important because they work with other organizations and they have the numbers. They can recruit people such as recreational shooters and hunters. They are tied to the NRA, so they go hand in hand. NJ2AS is the firecracker. Loud and proud. Not afraid to crack a few eggs. Not afraid to defy and disobey and not afraid to stand up and fight. I love what they do. They are amazing. More importantly they are effective. Goes without saying that I am behind them 100%. SAF is another good organization to support. They are focused on the courts and they are winning important cases. I believe this is important because apparently the only way to restore the 2A is through the courts. GOA is like a bull. Charging and raging. I would strongly recommend joining them too. They are effective as well and not afraid to put the NRA in its place and light a fire under them. Larry Pratt has confronted hoplophobe bullies like Piers Morgan head on.

They are focusing on "far more important things." NJ2AS has been majorly fighting against the new gun bills in the NJ legislature. In fact I have hardly heard any talk about CCW. I'm curious though, as to what your idea of "far more important things" are. Because the NJ2AS has dedicated nearly all of its efforts these days against the legislature's efforts to ram more gun control down our throats.

Might have been in the past but the focus these days is squarely the gun bills in Trenton. Can I ask a question though, why aren't you interested in the right to carry?

Arlen Specter is the last one I knew of. Christie will try to run as a Republican, a moderate Republican. I really can't tell whether he will sign the gun bills or not but I suspect he will veto some and sign some.

And NJ2AS has had two big wins. I'm sure there are more to come: Operation Establish Compliance - several towns have changed their FID/PtP process as a result of NJ2AS action Fix the NICS - NJ2AS put the pressure on for the faxed in NICS checks that were piling up for weeks. NICS is back to normal. Also, Jeff Van Drew has said at a NJ2AS meeting that legislators are basically treading lightly because of us. Really, we shake things up.

If you can, join NJ2AS, NRA and ANJRPC. You don't need the range membership for ANJRPC unless you plan to go. I will be honest. I support them all but NJ2AS seems to be the most effective. However NJ2AS is working together with ANJRPC who is the state NRA association. So it's not really a choice I would like to make, so I support them all. About the "jesus-y" part that raz-0 mentioned, the anti groups also schmooze up to them to. Ever heard of "heeding god's call?" They are an anti group that testifies at the hearings. I am a Catholic. In fact, I am active in my church as a lector and I read at mass. I don't shove religion down anyone's throat. My respect for 2A has nothing to do with my faith. I don't really discuss faith with NJ2AS. But I do discuss values. The family unit and respect for the rule of law for one. But you'll find that with any 2A group.

10 rounds? You're optimistic. I could easily see 5 rounds passing. Cryan proposed a bill.

The Utah course is basically a powerpoint on Utah law plus some pistol safety. However Charlie at Gun for Hire makes it interesting with the pictures.

I usually am covered in OFF when I am outside and I also spray my clothes with Sawyer (permethrin). Good for 6 washes with the Sawyer. I do it primarily for tick defense but it keeps away all the other bugs too.

I'm not into strippers either. The fakery bothers me.

It is not

Weekdays I imagine would not be bad. But others I've talked to say the weekends are PACKED. It must be that good...

How crowded was it? I hear it can be quite packed.

It's purely local ordinances against specifically urinating but it can be defined as lewdness I guess if your privates are showing. I heard you can be forced to register as a sex offender too.

Cory Booker must be so proud of Newark.

I also go to Ohio sometimes so I need Ohio, and AZ doesn't cover that.

Unlike NH, PA is recognized by statute so bloomberg's AG can't modify it. NH can suffer the same fate as FL, VA, AZ. Also, Utah is only $15 to renew. I can see them raising that in the future though. With FL and UT you have most of the USA covered. PA is a concern for me because I live a few miles from there and I go there a lot. I have FL and I'm getting UT and CT. CT only because I go there sometimes on business. CT is an expensive permit. $70 plus $51 plus $15 PLUS NRA Basic with live fire. Nothing less will do. Even if I get NJ at some point in the future (SCOTUS brings us a miracle?) I will still keep my nonres permits.

Because you can get one if you include a copy of your DE permit.

Partially correct. Utah will issue a permit if your state is reciprocal with them, but you must obtain your home state permit first and include a copy with the app. As for the "why" it's good to have a Utah, it's the reciprocity. Delaware isn't as widely recognized as Utah. Utah is like the gold card, all access in many states.

You do have to go to Utah, plus you have to be an NRA instructor or have some other instructor certification before you get the Utah one. However I think that the out of state instructors charge what they charge because they can and it's in demand, especially due to PA dropping FL, VA, AZ non-res. No big deal, it's capitalism and your choice. I went with GFH because they are who I trust. They charged $200 inclusive of the filing fee and mailing. AS for the timeline, someone in NJ2AS said they just got theirs and they took the class March 30. However it came with a letter saying Utah BCI didn't get back the background check from the FBI yet so if anything bad comes up they'll revoke the permit. Not a big deal if you have a clean background.

Guy with a shot gun (Joe Biden, you listening?) opens fire, killing 4. He gets shot and killed by the cops. http://www.foxnews.com/us/2013/06/21/north-carolina-gunman-shoots-four-before-being-shot-by-police/

And it can be an FFL from that state. Doesn't have to be a NJ FFL.
