Something to think about if you get a cheap safe... www.forbes.com/sites/marcwebertobias/2012/07/27/unsafe-gun-safes-can-be-opened-by-a-three-year-old/

I'm going to checkout the PPQ M2, assuming my gun store has it in stock. I'm still considering another M&P pistol, the gritty trigger is a bit annoying though -- takes forever to break it in. Haven't dabbled w/ the Apex kit yet...

How about the PPQ?

Aren't there 2 different trigger options ?

I was at the Bayonne range today. Firing my M&P 9mm and my brother's HK USP 9mm. I really liked the trigger on this gun, is the trigger on the HK P30 similar? I have one more permit to use, I was thinking of getting a M&P9c, however I think I'm going to try something different. Still need to shoot a Glock too before I make up my mind...

Welcome. I grew up in Union County. What town are you a firefighter? My brother volunteers for Garwood.

I have my FID and will be burning my second purchase permit very soon. If I want 2 more handgun purchase permits, do I really need to go through the whole reference process again? For example the first time around my PD contacted my 2 personal references AND my employer. I thought that was only to obtain my FID, however the purchase permits use the same application which requires references.

Maybe I'll see you there. I'm going around 11AM. Bringing M&P9, Ruger. 22 and HK P30.

I think I'm bailing on Sunday. My brother wants to go to a range near him. Maybe I will meet up with you guys during the week.

Ray Ray, you work there sometimes right? Can I bring my own targets?

I think they're open from 10AM - 3PM

Hmmm doesn't matter to me. Preferably the morning? I just got a M&P 9, haven't shot it yet.

Anyone going? I think I'm going in the morning if anyone wants to meet up.

Bulk Ammo has some FMJ in stock. 124gr Blazer Brass, Federal, etc. They are price gouging big time though... I was going to buy but then decided to wait. I'd rather give the business to my local gun store considering the price.

Thanks for the info. I'm going to lock both the guns and ammo, separately. I'd prefer to be extra cautious than have a local LEO arrest me or give me a hard time for a law even they don't fully understand.

Yes, sounds like over kill :-) Better safe than sorry though!!

I live in Hoboken and went through the same process. After I got finger printed, I had my FID and permits within 20 days. It all depends how quickly your references and EMPLOYER respond to the Hoboken PD letter. Gotta love how they don't include a return envelope or include instructions with the letters they send out. I micro managed the process as best I could. I would not suggest hiring an attorney, try to stay under the radar, at least until you get your ID and permits!! Good luck!! P.S. They fed me the same 3-4 month turn around story. Edit: after reading your post again, it sounds like you have more forms than me. I filled out the two state forms and then one Hoboken PD form which was near identical to the state form.

Valid point, I'll invest in a lockable ammo box. No reason to chance it. Thanks.

I know there is a sticky dedicated to this topic, however I didn't seem to find an exact answer to my specific question. I drive an SUV (no locking trunk). I have a gun bag with 3 compartments. 2 of the compartments are padded and hold handguns, both are lockable. The last compartment is not lockable and is larger. All three compartments are separate from each other. My questions is can I carry my ammo and magazines in the middle compartment which is NOT lockable. The side gun compartments would be locked, and hand guns would be w/o their magazines. I read on the NJSP website that even ammo needs to be locked if it's not placed in a lockable trunk but then there are some people that say it doesn't have to be locked if it's separate from the locked handguns? I would assume I should go w/ what's posted on the NJSP website to be 100% safe, however I'd prefer not to have to buy a lockable ammo case if it's not needed, considering I just bought one that does NOT lock.... Can someone provide some guidance?

Assuming I get home from work soon, I'm thinking of stopping by tonight. This is my first visit, anything specific I should know? I hear it is $15 a hour plus you have to use their targets? $1 each? Thanks.

How do you like the Shield?

Do you have kids? Don't cheap out on the safe. I own a Mesa safe. It's a tank and somewhat large, but nobody is getting into it (except me) ...

Welcome, I live in Hoboken as well!!

I own a full size M&P9, looking to pick up a compact now. Should I go 9mm or.40 ccal?
