DSD1026

I don't know if all the accusations are false or not (that will come out in time). That said, the suit lost me when he started talking about loss of business because he couldn't bring prospective clients to the range and emotional stress. But I agree that the BOD seems to have mis-handled the initial questions.

This.. exactly what i did. not 100% complete yet (need my scope, mags, etc) but i built my lower and bought a complete upper from PSA.. boom, done.

Yup.. pretty much feel the same about her.. lol

Oh, fuck Beth.. didnt really care about her.. she was a side character to me.. i was more upset about Andrea... but.... its about time it came back.. i just want to see what happens with Morgan damnit

I wish I knew how to quit you!

eh... not really a "few years".. a year or just over a year, yes.. but not more than that

regardless of squabbling, its still a great place to shoot...

BWAHAHAHA

http://njgunforums.com/forum/index.php/topic/74970-annual-i-love-you-sale-is-on/ Monmouth Arms having his annual "I Love You" sale. If you're lookin for a Sig 229 or 226, fantastic price. Tell him you love him to get the deal..

its not like we're giving people the locations of our weapons, the codes to the alarm systems or the breed of dogs. im not sure anyone here is THAT stupid... (i hope)

This.. have it in all 3 of my 9mm's in the house

i personally prefer a bit of a shorter rail on a 16" barrel. the one I bought was 12".. leaves just enough of the barrel out, but not too much. but if its purely cosmetic, and you like the look of basically just the brake sticking out, more power to ya

Alarm system. Dog. then pistol (either VP9 or Beretta depending on where I am) until I can get to my shotgun or my AR (once it's completed),

i said the same thing for about a year. was shooting at BA since I really only had pistols and a 22 rifle, so using the full range at CJ wasnt really on my radar.. and then they shut down (BA) and it kind of forced me to pony up the money (I did split it, as blk mentioned) and now that I am almost done building my AR, I can take full advantage of the outdoor parts of CJ. Buy once, cry once and all that..

worse comes to worse, you could buy new springs. theyre cheap enough.. im curious, though, on the point of this thread. seems that you bought advertised 10 round mags, but were not permanently blocked and were easily altered to hold 15 (still legal in NJ). Is it really just a question in general about blocking mags, or about these specific mags?

Well, you pretty much have public ranges or private ranges, unless you want to go to someplace like Clinton WMA... Really depends on where you live

Garden State is top notch for sure. They do just about everything there and have tons of specialists. We have take 3 of our dogs there in the past for various problems (stomach surgery, seizures, etc). Now, are they cheap? No. But they will certainly give you great care for your dog/cat/whatever..Please note - if you end up going there, you will have to pay half up front, that's how they do it.

Yeah, I think the national weather service should have a class action suit filed against them..

HAHAHA..

I would load your pics to a hosting site and link them, its sometimes easier than trying to upload directly to this server, which doesnt allow for much space..

LOL.. What a complete waste of time this was. Monmouth county was predicted to get 12-24".. Yeahhhhh, cut that by 2/3 and we MIGHT have gotten that much. Maybe 4" right now. Im also glad we didnt get the total they predicted, but mainly because I'm lazy and didnt really feel like blowing snow & shoveling too much..

KABOOOOOOOM

Listen to this man. He is spot on with his answers. You did ask a LOT of questions, and you will get a LOT of different answers. The one thing most will agree on is to take an NRA Basic/First Pistol class. This will give you the ground floor fundamentals on owning a pistol. What the parts mean, the different kinds (semi auto v. revolver, etc) and how to break one down and clean it, etc. I learned a lot from the shit ton of research I did on the internet, but having someone guide you through a bit can be nothing but helpful (as long as they know what they are talking about). Depending on how much you want to immerse yourself into this sport/hobby/whatever you want to call it is going to determine how much you learn and how fast. If you are uncomfortable with 40 or 45, then start with 9mm (or one could even say .22lr, but it all depends on the individual). I personally started with 9mm and stuck with it. Its a decent enough home defense round (this can be argued all day long, and usually is) and to be honest, its the cheapest centerfire round out there and the ammo is (finally) readily available. Absolutely nothing wrong with starting with 9mm. I will not make any recommendations on which gun because that is something extremely subjective. Some will tell you Glock (as they already have), some will tell you Sig, some will tell you CZ, some will tell you Beretta.. It all depends on what is comfortable to YOU. Going to a range and renting different models (or going with a friend who has some different models) is the best way to get a feel for what you are comfortable with. Not to mention, your tastes/preferences will change over time (someone else mentioned this above). Accessories - Oh boy there are too many to mention. Note that guns are not the cheapest sport/hobby to get into, so be prepared for that. Cleaning kits, range bags, extra magazines for semi auto pistols, speed loaders (for either semi auto or revolvers) and most (and i mean MOST) importantly - AMMO - are the best accessories you can get up front. But please note that if you rent guns, you will probably have to buy the ammo from the range you are renting at (usually a range rule). One other suggestion - dont try to learn everything all at once. It will overwhelm you. I am 2 years into my love for guns, and I learn new shit every single day. Good luck and please do not be afraid to ask questions as you go. That is the only way you will learn. I asked a lot of questions, as did many here.
