I think you are being unfair to try to tarnish the reputation of a great place like this for what is a simple mistake. This is not something they try to do. I would suggest you call them and explain your situation to one of the owners. If this was their mistake I am sure they will treat you well, that is the type people they are. When I bought my gun there they opened up the case and showed and explained to me everything in it before I signed anything.

In this day and age of scarce ammo you are much better off having multiple calibers. Right now in many places it is almost impossible to find .22 cal or 9mm. So, what do you do if all you have are 9mm guns? I too am fairly new and I find that I can shoot just about equally bad with my .40 cal or 9mm

Money order, really? Mine took personal checks.

Sure it is a right, but they can tax it - just like they do with guns. Have a tax for each round that is fired in a movie or tv show or game to help fund mental health issues

Would be curious if you could explain how you get google alerts to do this? I can only see that you can have it monitor the internet for topics not a way to monitor just a specific page at a given web site.

I have been very frustrated that ammo is so hard to find and so expensive. I have used some of the bots like http://ammoseek.com/ and http://www.gunbot.net but most of the time the cheap sites are out of stock or by the time I see it they are sold out. I have even left my e-mail so sites can notify me when the ammo is in, but by the time I get the e-mail even if I check as soon as I see it the ammo is gone. So what is left to do? I have the answer, and this is not an advertisement. Yesterday I scored some cheap 9mm and .45 cal from two different sources and here is how. I found a program called Website-Watcher, I am only running their free 30 day trial right now. You have it monitor the sites you are interested in, I have it doing this every minute. When it sees any change on the web site, or such key words you choose as "available" or "In-Stock" it will notify you. It can pop a message up on your screen and make a sound or you can have it set to email you as well. You can find the program at http://www.aignes.com/ . There are probably other programs that can do the same thing, but this one seems to work well. PLEASE don't share this all over the web, otherwise it will make it even tougher for us Jersey shooters. Hope this helps my friends here.

I watch the news all the time, but not the slime-stream-media. I like to watch the network that pisses off all the Liberals Most people are clueless and think all hand guns fire and endless stream of bullets if you just hold the trigger in.

Yes definitely a "NEED" to allow the idiots in Hollywood showing more people being killed by guns - that is a great idea. I think it is impossible to watch three hours of prime time TV on any given station without seeing someone shot by a gun -- maybe that is why so many people hate guns so much. We would all be better off if they passed lots of laws to reduce gun violence on TV, movies, and video games. IF they did such common sense things then maybe they would not find the need to restrict our legal rights.

Thanks. When I am paying close attention I really don't notice a lot of difference between 9mm and .40 cal. I got a KKM .40 to 9 conversion barrel and G17 mag and have fired some 9mm from the gun as well. I thought it would be cheaper to do that, but not right now. First I can find plenty of .40 cal while 9mm is very hard to find, and the 9mm that is available in many places is actually selling for more than I can buy .40 cal for at the moment.

How do you know how many rounds a used pistol has on it? A car has an odometer, a digital camera has exif data, but a pistol I guess you just have to believe what someone tells you?

Thanks. I am just a newbie, but trying to help out as I can at events like this and by writing our officials. Hope it helps our cause.

First Glock and first gun too!

Don't know if we got to meet, I was the guy in the yellow shirt who got up at the end and was given two minutes to explain what we have to go through in this state to buy a gun. Got a lot of the clueless that came up to me and thanked me after it was over saying they had no clue what it took to buy a gun in NJ.

I was there (bright yellow shirt) and got the moderator to give me two minutes at the end to explain the FID process in NJ so that at least the gun haters in the audience could understand a little bit about how hard it is to buy a gun in this state.

Perhaps get Foxnews to do some interviews with NJ gun group leaders would wake some people up?

I understand what you are saying, but not sure I would call it bogus. Perhaps he was just rushing his shots more because he knew he had to make the changes? As far as the guy running. I think it shows that the person has to be sure that the firing has stopped, and then by the time he accelerates and starts running it is too late as the shooter has already started again. I found the issues about the NYC police missing so much (and they are supposed to be the experts) good reason to not cut down citizens ability to defend themselves, especially since we are not the "experts" that the politicians "know" the police are.

This video should be mandatory viewing for every senator and the governor before they vote on reducing magazine size: It presents lots of facts about magazine size and how even police need larger not smaller magazines. It also gives several demonstrations of the time needed to shoot 30 rounds with 15, 10 and 6 rounds in a magazine. The best part is towards the end they have a runner that is 25 feet from the shooter and he starts when the guy goes to change a mag and then stops when the next shot is fired -- HE NEVER GETS CLOSE TO THE SHOOTER!!!!! Please send a brief summary along with the video to your senator and our governor!

Chris, thanks for the feedback. You ask some good questions, now I guess I need to come up with some answers. I'm a new shooter, just recently got my first gun - a Glock G22 Gen4. Everyone, whoever they are, tells me I should get a 1911, so I was looking at them today. I know there are many many to choose from. I was at the Range today and was just looking around and this Kimber just really felt good in my hand. I liked the solid weight of it and it just seemed to fit right. This one was $1,600 which is sort of at the high end of what I would want to spend, obviously if I can get something for less that would be better. Actually I think I might like something with a longer barrel, as I will never be able to carry in the people's republic of jersey. I consider the glock to be the reliable HD gun, so the 1911 would really just be for having fun at the range. Any suggestions you can make would be very welcomed.

I'm think of a 1911 as my next acquisition and liked the weight and feel of a Kimber Super Carry Pro HD. Does anyone here have one or have any experience with them? Wondering if you like or don't like it. Wish there was some place I could try before I buy. Perhaps if anyone has one and goes to RTSP they could let me give it a try Thanks.

Well I guess it all depends on what it cost upfront to buy the stuff. I am not impressed with the spokesperson they have on the web page, I watch him sometimes when he is on Foxnews and he has some very strange ideas about some things. I know their deluxe system would not even come close to what I would need for my house, probably about three times the stuff. I wonder how many zones it can accommodate. Also, many of the companies like ADT will install the base system for free. Like anything else it is a trade-off between capital costs and operating costs. I have a system that I installed myself years ago, but it does run about $30 a month for the central station, but I think you can find cheaper monitoring that that on the net, I just have been too lazy to look

I put the HiViZ light tubes on the front of my G22 and love it. Even with minimal light at the range I can pick up the orange dot much better than the stock sights.

Welcome from one Morris County new shooter to another.

Ours don't run, they know they have it too good at home! We have an electric fence that contains them in the yard, they never challenge it even when chasing deer and small prey. The trick to catching a husky that does run is to get it's attention and then run AWAY from it. The dog will think you are playing and will reverse course and chase you.

Most are very scared of my doggies, they think they are wolves

So if you can demonstrate that in the course of handing this cash you were in the past shot AND killed, then they might see the need.
