my understanding....if you buy a pistol out of state.......it must be shipped to a nj ffl who will then run nics and will require the normal paperwork. this happens regardless if it's a private sale or a ffl selling it to you. long guns, you can purchase out of state and bring home with you providing you pass the nics checks.

the sub2k is light enough, and folds up small enough that should one be so inclined, one could legitimatley keep one in their get-home bag, or bugout bag. it takes up such a small amount of space when folded, and would add what? a couple pounds to the weight of the bag? of course this is only if one were so inclined.

one thing i'd left out earlier...'cause mom hadn't told me till tonight.....she took her out in the yard the other day. neighbor came home, and saw kylie. neighbor used to have a super cool rot.....but she passed about a year ago. so anyway......becky comes over to talk to mom, and meet kylie.....kylie getting over-excited, yanked the leash, knocking mom down. she only bruised her knee and pinky finger, but it's something that shoudn't have happened. i want kylie to be able to protect mom when i'm not around. that all said...becky....my neighbor....suggested cutting a hotdog into little pieces, and using that as reward for little things. i did that tonight. while she normally won't sit on first command, when she saw i had a treat in my hand, she sat without me having to say anything. this leads me to believe that someone's done that with her. gave mom the treat and kylie just looked at her. mom told her to sit, and she sat 2nd time. i told her to praise her and sound excited as she gave the treat to her. i had her do this three times for now......mom got tired of it, lolol. now i gotta decide who to go to for her training........

i am truly sorry to hear of your loss.....and in addition to all of the fantastic advice, your post just gave me incredible hope!

while i don't make the money i think you do.......i don't think i'd trust someone that was cheap. if this is the route i go(and it most likely will be), then i'd rather pay more now, and be good to go, with a good obedient, protective and loving dog/pet/friend.

this is my issue. no one needs to know(nor do they have a right or a reason to know) what i may or may not have.

i actually just picked up a harness that's got the d-ring in front at the chest. gonna try that. enlarged text......that's where i'm at. i feel that me trying to train her myself would be like a plumber trying to diagnose his own emissions failure on his 2018 beemer. it's possible....just not really very smart or effective. this is kylie(my gsd). she always looks at me like she's an innocent bystander. "i din do nuffin!"

I didn't mean i was averse to an electronic collar being used on her......i just don't want to do it myself as a first option, other than possibly while we're walking her.....

JT CUSTOM GUNS HAS THME I THINK. ALSO WHITTAKER ARMS IN FOLSOM I THINK HAS A COUPLE.

i'm sitting eating lunch, reading the faqs on andersons site. gonna sound like a dumb question.....but if during obedience training, she's being trained only by the trainer.....and the owner's not there....how then does that teach her to listen to us? one of you guys mentioned hand signals. that would be good for mom. she just can't project her voice loud/authoritative like most of us can.

i'm guessing no one down here 'round camden county area offers them?

thanks guys. i'm giving her time to learn our house, our habits, and the area. this is why i'm only walking her right now. i can tell she's still learning the area by the way she's constantly looking 'round, and when in the yard, she seems to track the scents of the stray cats and/or the deer in the area. should this become permanent(99%chance it will, 'cause she's awesome!) i'll fence in the rear of my yard(i border on a lake so only 3 sides fenced). it's not a crazy big yard, but is 120x140.....so if i can let her have the run of the yard, i know she'll get tons of exercise. there's a couple dog parks nearby i can take her to also. as mentioned, i'd considered a zap collar for her.....but if i can avoid it, i'd rather not. i'm not rich by any stretch, but i don't mind paying a good trainer to get her at least to the point where i could then take over, and that she'd listen to mom. aaaaahahaahahahahahahahahahahaha

what are those training courses that nj requires?

i'd be interested in hearing opinions on this too....from people that aren't as paranoid as me about letting someone they don't know have info on what i may or may not own......

chances are good i'm about to adopt a 2 year old GSD. she seems to have had some training, as she's relatively well behaved....but she doesn't listen, which leads me to believe that she hasn't had too much. she's not good around other dogs. simple commands it's hit or miss if she obeys or not for me....and she refuses to listen to mom(who's trying to help me with her). she's always pulling at the leash when i try to walk her, and she's easily distracted. she'll bark at other dogs, and she barks at other people. those last 2 lead me to believe that she's not had much training in that, and that she was possibly not socialized at all.... my questions are....at this age, is she trainable? as in can i reasonably expect to train her to be as good as we all know shepherds are? is it something i can do myself, or would i be better off seeking a local trainer? if it's better to seek a trainer, does anyone have any local to cherry hill area recommendations? right now, she's with me at my house. both myself and the family i'm considering adopting her from are waiting to see if we can get her to fall into place here before we make it permenant.

while the actual number may be low.....the percentage of applicants refused is very high.

until they take it away.

you may be right on that....but the status quo went on a ton longer than fatboy(miss him yet?) was governor. like i said....i'm really not trying to be a dick about it....i just wanna know. if the status quo lawyers keep going that way, then this will all be for naught. on the other hand...cheesman and almeida had different lawyers, and seemed as if they were making headway.

i'm gonna ask a question that's gonna sound like i'm being a dick....but i gotta ask. i am not intending this in any way bad mean or offensive. i thought there was some convo going on that the 2 lawyers that seem to handle most of the 2a cases here in pfrnj were both pretty much in favor of the status quo? now we're depending on one of them to get us outta the status quo?

it is. i've seen em put them in the floor, and ceiling. i generally make it a point to point these things out to the rso on duty, 'cause i don't need some dimwit shooting me 'cause he's incompetent.

no. we all like to think we're "billy badass" and will do everything perfectly. the fact is that we can practice and train to mitigate the possibility of mistakes some....but 99% of us will end up doing something not nearly as well as we like to think we'll do it under the circumstances.

i've watched guys do mag dumps at only 5-7 yards, and not put a single round on paper.

AAHHH.....but...suppose the defender does not score a hit in the chest, considering that many(most) will not be accurate under the duress of home defense? i'm not seeing a ton of rudeness? i'm seeing people discussing.....sometimes being a little belligerent....but not rude. that's what we see in the 1a lounge.

within you dwelling, this does not exist.

well....i'm running behind at the shop. by the time i get caught up, we'll be seeing if this is nothingburger, or fantastic stuff. i'd prefer to see fantastic stuff. i hate complaining....and i know i'm one of the biggest complainers here....i'd love to not be able to complain.
