DSD1026

i have one that they sent me, but havent put it on my car.. wondering if i should soon just to (apparently) piss people off because of a sticker/decal.. lol

are you referring to a home warranty? i have used The Warranty group.. i have had my furnace, a/c unit and hot water heater all replaced in the last 4 years for a total OOP cost of about $2,500 (it covers some things but not everything). BUT, they sometimes have a hard time finding contractors to do work for them because warranty companies dont pay them very quickly

Im too new and I dont know enough about them all yet to form a comprehensive list.. but from what I know right now: 1911 stainless .357 revolver (S&W 686 or Ruger GP100) Beretta 92FS Inox AR rifle (not sure what kind yet because im new to rifles and don't know a lot yet - just got a 15-22 to start with) Ruger 10/22 (for the wife) Im sure that liste will get larger the more i learn about everything

poll is pretty close.. seems quite a few agree with Taylor Ham.. lets put it this way, I was introduced to it when i moved to NJ in '99 as Taylor Ham.. I know it is technically "pork roll" but since I was introduced to it as Taylor Ham, that's what I call it..

i dont give a crap what its called, its delicious

how long before this gets locked?

it seems to be a more valid question as time goes on.. we're up to 18 days, so if the "good for 30 days" start from when you actually first fill out the NICS paperwork, then its becoming more of a close call, through no fault of the buyers'. I thought the NICS "good for 30 days" started when they gave the approval and you had 30 days to pick it up without having to re-run the NICS for that firearm. Apparently I was wrong about that..

they can feel free to send me my 5 backordered f*cking boxes from early March if they had these in stock today...

http://www.woodburyoutfitters.com/product_p/1845.htm persuader.. 18.5" barrel.. $339.. in stock.. its where i bought my Maverick 88 from.. they were great people to deal with (as much as you can say that about ordering online)

arghhhhh.. still at 1 box for 9mm.. and they dont have 22.. the 2 calibers i have.. DOH

i cant believe so many people have responded to this. he's clearly taking the piss or just here to wind people up. If he truly has been shooting for 50+ years, then he would damn well know how these little spikes happen from time to time and would not get so bent out of shape about it., This spike just happens to be larger than others but we also have an unprecedented amount of media spotlight on our "interest" and a government that is doing their darnedest to make it impossible for us to have this right. Hell, I've been shooting for all of 4 months and even I know this. (Although, I guess I am part of the problem in his eyes, as I'm one of those damned newbies who is buying everything up at jacked prices) Seriously though.. Unless he's serious and is willing to put his guns and ammo where his keyboard is, please don't give him any more of your precious time. Note how the OP hasnt posted again since his initial post..

could be that the mag that came with the gun was over the allowable mag size in whatever state it was in.. or that the mag was removed before the original purchaser received the gun (some places pull over the limit mags before they ship to restricted states) and the guy got rid of it since it didnt have any mags... just threories of course.. you could contact the seller and ask why it has no mags

up to 2 boxes per caliber now? a couple weeks ago when i went it was 1 box..

done

I will try to be as pragmatic and level headed as I can be with my reply.. Whilst I agree that its stupid that apartment complexes should not allow pets, it is unfortunately within their legal rights to do so. Knowing that they do not allow pets should have, in fact, steered you to look elsewhere unless you were ready to give up your cats. If the apartment complex finds out that you have snuck cats into the apartment against the rules of your lease agreement, they can evict you (although not easily) but they WILL force you to get rid of them immediately if they find out. You will not have 30 days, than can legally force you to get rid of them the next day (or the same day if they really want to be arseholes about it). I used to live in an apartment complex, and while they did allow pets (for more rent per month), if they found out that you had pets without paying for it, they would either force you to pay more that same month (and every month that you lived there that you had the animal) or ask you to remove the animal(s) if you were not willing to pay. Trying to go around the rules is within your right, but its also your problem when/if you get caught skirting them. Just know the ramifications before you do it. Above aside, I do not believe that you can use high blood pressure as a disability. A disability is something that you cannot manage or cure with medical help or a lifestyle change. Medications or better diet/exercise can lower your blood pressure (and I am betting that you are already on them or will be soon), and I am guessing that you will not find many doctors who would be willing to try sending such a letter on your behalf just so you can keep your cats in an apartment that you knew didnt take pets before you decided to move in. Even if you can find such a doctor, the apartment complex management does not have to accept that letter, as they are well versed in the disability laws, and probably know (either themselves or through lawyers) whether or not that HBP can be used as a definition of a disability under the law. Conversely, being diagnosed with HBP will not make you lose your guns. Unless your HBP prevents you from using the guns safely, they wont be taken away for that.. My advice (FWIW) is that if you really want to live in that apartment complex, try to find someone to take the cats before you move in. As someone else said, giving them up to a shelter will often lead to them being euthanized (unless you take them to a no-kill shelter). Good luck

tried out the canned heat 22lr from Fiocchi last weekend.. have to say, it worked great.. not a single FTF between the 22 rifle and buckmark we used them in... if i ever find them again (at a reasonable price), i would have no hesitation in buying them..

Yeah Russ, it was her.. But i dont want to get HER a new gun.. I want to get a new gun that she will be comfortable shooting when we go to the range.. in fact, that gun will be the M&P22.. Also going to be getting the M&P 15-22.. she enjoyed shooting my dad's .22 Marlin over the weekend

shot the buckmark this weekend.. thats a nice shooting 22.. dont like the look myself, but it did shoot well

OOS when i go to put in cart...

shore shot is nowhere near union county

i snagged at 14.99.. still an OK price right now

Congrats on the first firearm.. Good choice.. The 92fs Inox was on my short list for my first pistol..

Some of the responses in this are so laughable.. If they are looking for a terrorist that may be hiding in your neighborhood and you know they are doing home searches, you can be damn sure I'm going to let them in with proper ID.. I would certainly warn them before opening the door that I had a firearm on me or next to me or wherever it was.. I'm sure that the might have encountered that in some homes.. In a situation like this, if they come in, and ask me to put my hands up to make sure I have no intention of harming them, I'd do it.. They are doing their f'ing jobs people and its its a serious situation that could effect a multitude of people.. Get over your "not in my home, cops" theories and let the authorities try to make sure the community safe.. (This is directed at no one in particular, just in general)

would definitely be interested, but going to NY this weekend.. maybe if we also do it another weekend in the future...

i am quite new to this "sport" (or whatever you guys want to call it). I had never fired any weapons, outside of a BB gun, in my life until New Years Eve of this past year. My wife has had a .38spl since before I knew her, and had her FID just so she could own that revolver, even though she only ever shot it once (although she had shot other revolvers a long time ago). We had made plans to go shooting at a range in the summer of last year, but never got around to doing it. After witnessing the incidents that happened in the following months after the summer, we were sitting around in December and thought that it was probably about time that I learn to shoot. I was not "afraid" of guns, but since I had never actually fired one, I guess you could call me apprehensive in a way. We went to SS the first time we went shooting because we decided that we were really interested in getting a different gun than the little snubbie my wife owned (she didnt like it, had too much recoil for her, as she had shot much longer barreled revolvers in the past) and they rented guns. So we made the trip to SS and rented a Glock 17 and a Ruger 357 revolver (but used 38's since neither of us had shot it before). Their RO showed us how to shoot those guns (see, i dont dislike everything about SS) and he was quite helpful. Before I took my first shot, I noticed my hand shaking ever so slightly. I guess that was the nervousness you feel right before you fire your first ever weapon. Well, I took that first shot, and while it didnt hit bullseye, it wasnt all that far off either. After that, the trembling ceased and i found it to be quite exhilarating. The experience was perfect, since I was not a huge fan of the Glock (it bit me more than once). However, it did not put any of that apprehension back into me. Before I purchased my first pistol, I did an enormous amount of research and joined this place to get more information. As I got more knowledge and more information about guns, I knew it was the right thing to be doing. Between reading up on how to break them down, how to clean them, how each of the different types of handguns work, getting as much information about them beforehand is imperative. As others have mentioned, taking a class is also a great idea (even though I have not yet). It is good to have as much info as you can, and that alleviates some of the fear. So.. in the end, people who have grown up and never really been around guns (whether it be long guns or handguns) will always have a bit of nervousness around them to start off with. If they are brought into it slowly and with a manageable caliber gun for a noob, they are much more likely to stick with it (bringing in someone new and telling them to shoot a 357 or a 45 is probably not the best idea). Starting off with a 38 or a 9mm (or a .22lr) is the way to break through that bout of apprehension. Some of this doesnt necessarily apply to the OP, as he had been around long guns previously. But for others, such as myself who had no experience, its right to start off slowly, and the bug will catch... And as always, be safe with ANY gun. (something I learned from the very start).. Sorry for the ramble, but I have grown to REALLY enjoy shooting in a relative short amount of time!
