I love this range. I was there for 3 hours today, my favorite part is bringing everything and setting up lots of targets at different distances. Plus you can bring anything to shoot, as long as its not gonna shatter or shred and is non perishable. I bring soda cans (full) and they are fun. People bring real estate signs, clay pigeons, plastic bottles, etc etc.

Today I zeroed in the new scope at ft. Dix. I am super happy with it so far. It's crystal clear, bright and very very easy to use. I highly recommend people consider this as serious contender to some of the scopes that cost 2 or 3 times as much. Once zeroed in the 24x makes shooting at 200 yards unbelievably easy. Hoping to push it out to 500 yards next week.

Mine went in last Tuesday at noon. Lets have a race, first one to get the cleared check back wins a dollar.

My springfield range officer does not do that. The slide rests flush with the bottom frame in back. I assume you've taken it apart and ensured the innards are put back together correctly and the slide catch, spring, and spring stopper are all correctly seated and facing the right way etc.

I know it sounds like a load of bs, but i would have. I strongly believe in supporting my local stores when possible. I've bought 5 guns locally and one from gun broker. 4 of the 5 i bought locally i paid $100 to $200 dollars more than i could have online, and i didn't each time purposefully and knowing i was supporting local business. But when I called at least 4 stores and gave them the opportunity to try to get this PPQ for me. They didn't even try. Anyone of them could have found it on gun broker, bought it themselves and resold it to me oh well. I'll try again next time to force them to take my business. From my experiences so far, local shops will sell you what they have in stock. Before the sandy hook madness they would also try to talk you into letting them order from the manufacturer. Now a days if they don't have it stock they can't hang up on you fast enough. I think they are missing out on some chances to use gun broker themselves and find guns for their local customers.

Here is my most recent experience. I wanted a walther ppq. I called 4 local gun stores and asked them all if they could get me one. They all but laughed at me and told me that they were impossible to find. I went on to gun broker and bought one in 5 minutes and had it shipped. Why didn't any of the 4 stores tell me they would check around and then take my name and look themselves on gun broker. I mean they could have asked me to pay mark up and I'd have never know and would have paid it.

My wife is doctor, she had her eye's done by this group, dr. wong. They are the best in NJ and she would not have had it done anywhere else. http://www.princetoneyegroup.com/

I have a mako bipod for my ar. The kind that folds into a forward grip then splits into a bipod with legs that drop. I like it as a handle but its not stable enough as a bipod. My repr is 10 pounds and the wind can blow it over at ft dix on the mako, which makes me nuts! I have to lay the gun on its side when I go down range. That never happened with the cheap bipod I originally had. The mako just doesn't spread wide enough apart. I have a Harris 6-9 on my Remington 700, and am happy so far but just got it.

The reason I went for the basement was because my wife doesn't exactly know how many guns I have. She is ok with not knowing but I don't want to have to make a big trip from the master bedroom when i want to go to the range or when I want to show my guns to my friends I like the privacy of the basement. I have a fingerprint safe in the bedroom with a single loaded gun, but the collection in the safe is in the basement.

I got a ruger p89 mostly because the price was right. I was still in college. I've had it for almost 17 years and its never had a single issue after what has to be 10 or 20 thousand rounds. I've never changed any part of it or done anything other than clean it.

Ok maybe I miss read or miss understood you. I read your quote of the law of open carry followed by "take your guns. Have fun be happy" and advice to open carry while in pa. In any case that is why I made my smart ass comment about telling that to the judge. Nuff said ill end it hear with an apology

Listen, I was poking fun for your re quote of yourself as if you were so crystal clear and authoritative that your post and repost end the discussion. Don't get your panties in a bunch. I've now done a lot of research and the law is not a crystal clear as you want it to be. I see plenary of reason to carry and pray to be able to do it some day legally. I can't find any open invitation for an nj resident with no carry permit to bring his gun to pa, strap it on open and walk around no matter where it is. I think that is poor advice.

Yes that's right your honor... Bonesinium told me it was legal for me to do it, so i did it

I still say it's a fishing spider a.k.a Dolomedes. I have those around my house and they are HUGE and are shaped exactly like the OP's picture. But the picture is too blurry to see the stripes for sure.

Did you post the right link? It takes me state of New York assault weapon registration form.

I've done some research since my initial post. There is no pa law that explicitly outlaws "open carry" except to make it illegal at schools in motor vehicles and government buildings and parks. Concealed carry is done by permit only. That being said in reality today most police in pa would stop you and hassle you if not incorrectly arrest you for open carry. It's not common place except in rural areas and on private lands. So bottom line is I would recommend against it for someone out of state. What do you stand to gain from doing it... Nothing I can think of

The picture isn't clear enough for me to the legs and if they have stripes but it looks to me like a fishing spider. We have and pond and swamps and they come from there. They are too big to make webs and can hide in the mud and catch tadpoles and Minos by lunging at them. We had one under our deck that was at least 8 inches from front leg tip to back leg tip.

Ditto. Some towns, have no discharge at all, some allow it everywhere, and some have certain areas where it is ok. I am actually legally allowed to discharge firearms on my property.

I was googling for how long the wait for a pistol permit was in east brunswick and it came up with a thread here, I wanted to reply to so i joined up. Glad to have a virtual community here to turn to for help and opinions.

I have never been to RTSP and hold no opinion about their service or friendliness, but i do want to comment on the thread. I don't agree with the premiss that people have no right to complain in public unless they first address their issues in private with the management of an establishment. I see that posted here several times and I've seen it in other threads and disagree. I think this is a forum of peers and we all have the rights to our opinions and the ability to share them for the benefit of others. If we take issue with our own guns we would post the negative feedback about the gun without first contacting the manufacturer and providing them the opportunity to fix the gun first. Or if we were complaining about how long it takes to get a pistol permit we would post that without first reaching out the mayor of our town to see if he wants to fix it. Or if we were a forum about restaurants and eating out we would expect to be able to post about rude wait staff or bad service without first contacting the manager of the restaurant, etc. etc.

Eh what fun is that.

What year did they make open carry legal?

Well crap... Put a dress on me smack my ass and call me Sally. I had no idea... Sorry for doubting.

Now hang on just a second... I lived in Pennsylvania for 22 years and in no way shape or form was open carry legal. Unless something changed in the last 10 years since I moved to NJ that is some re diculous miss information. You can't strap a gun to your belt and walk in to Home Depot... That is Arizona. When I lived there you could acquire a concealed carry permit but you must have the permit. Otherwise it was the same as jersey, transport to and from location to location only unloaded and ammo locked separate.

I'm in the same position... Going to spend a weekend and my friend's family's hunting cabin in the poconos and i wanted to bring a rifle and a handgun for a range trip while we were there. I was googling for ranges around there and could only come up with two crappy looking ones.
