I went through the, as all of you know arduous process to obtain my initial FID and 2 P2P starting in early January and finally culminating in early April with the issuance of said documents. Compared to what I've read about other members misfortunes in applying I didn't do to bad. That is till today when I went to purchase my first handgun. I fill out the "non instant criminal search" form and give it to the clerk with my FID and she says something is wrong. Apparently the number on the card is short by 2 digits. The clerk called over the owner who looks at the card and says he thinks they must have typed the wrong number on the card. Being a customer oriented guy he tells me to check the number on my permits. That should be correct and he will be able to submit the NICS check. Guess what? The same short number is on both my permits. I even checked my wife's card and permit and her number is six digits and one letter and hers was issued a month prior to mine. Mine has only four digits and a letter. I'm hoping that this will not take to long to fix. Has anyone ever had an issue like this or am I the lucky lottery winner? They let me put a deposit on the gun and will hold it but this is a bit inconvenient.

Stopped in Sunday morning. Nice facility but too far for me to travel to regularly. Very friendly and helpful staff.

I had the same problem. A tree fell during Sandy and destroyed my Jeep damaged my FJ and my house. My neighbors response " i hope you had insurance" He has another 100 foot tall tree that leans toward my house so I notified the town but they can't force him to remove it because the lot is under an acre. He said he would cut it down but when the tree service came they only removed some branches. He already removed a dozen or so trees from the other end of his lot and probably does not want to add to his expense. Since he was notified of the tree I imagine he will pay my deductibles should it fall.

I saw you applied in Lyndhurst. Are you or your wife originally from Lyndhurst? I ask because I used to live there and my grandfather was a captain.

I saw that one listed on Gunbroker but did not win the bid. I spoke to Rick on the phone prior to bidding and you are correct he's a real nice guy.

Can't wait to see it finished. Love the place now. It's going to be outstanding in a few months.

It amazes me how employers seem to lose these forms. Mine were "lost" also the first time they were sent in.

A forum member has one listed under the WTS forum.

Thanks for the tip but with transfer fees and shipping it would be pretty close to what my local dealer sells it for and in that case I would purchase it there.

They state in the listing that is how they received it. It's from a shop in CT so it could be a limit issue.

Hi everyone I am looking for a little advice on a purchase. I want to get a Beretta M9. I see a used one on Gunbroker for a very good price but the firearm does not come with a magazine. Should this raise a red flag? I see mags for this are readily available and not very expensive. It is being sold as is and the seller states it has not been test fired. Any advice would be appreciated.

Any idea when you're going to get the regular 9mm back in? The last 3 times I was in all that was available was the finnochi(sp) frangible for $22.50. I'm not complaining just hoping to save a few bucks in the future.

Yes she is.

Didn't I read a while back that a FFL nixed a transfer because a forum member didn't have his FID yet and he was in the store with his wife who was getting the firearm? She had her FID but the FFL claimed straw purchase.

He wants to appear like he is doing something so he bans a firearm that very few people will purchase. Most anti gun folks will say he is doing a good job, not realizing the thing cost 10k.

There's the rub. The out the door price at the local dealer even factoring in transfer and shipping is still 15% more than the last few auctions on GB. That's why I'm leaning towards GB. I would prefer to buy local and would pay what it would cost with the transfer and shipping but I just can't bring myself to pay 15% more than that just to buy local.

Congrats. The wife is looking at one of those or the m9.

I saw it and thought it was pretty good. They are teaching the kids not to be victims.

I know we should support our local dealers but I have been shopping around for a handgun and I have been following the sold prices on Gunbroker. The gun I want has been selling for almost $100 less on Gunbroker including the transfer fee and shipping than what my local dealer is selling it for. I would rather use the local dealer and if the price was $20-$30 different I could eat that but $100 will buy lots of ammo. So what do you think am I being cheap or am I a smart shopper?

Has anyone been to a show here? Was it any good? Another question. How likely will it be that I find a dealer there that will ship to NJ? I'm in the market for a hand gun.

In The Record they said a few WW2 era lugers were surrendered. To bad the owners didn't know they could get 10x to 20x what the county was paying from a collector.

Quick thinking.

Really surprised at people hating on the owner for his pricing. Do I think it's expensive yes for me it is. The facility looks top notch and I will probably stop by after it's open just to be nosy when I'm in the area. I wish them the best of luck.

1. Application type: Initial FID and P2P for my wife and myself 2. Police Department where you applied: Township of Denville 3. Name of the person you dealt with at the PD: Debra Egbert Records Clerk 4. Time taken to issue FID and/or permit: 2 months for my wife 2 month 3 weeks for me. Delay caused by my employer not returning the reference form 5. Documents required by the PD (aside from the standard application and the mental health release form): Standard 6. Notes - anything pertaining to the application process (unforeseen difficulties, chief of police calling your home, you hiring an attorney, etc.): Debra was a pleasure to work with. She returned all calls and emails promptly and quickly sent a 2nd reference form to my employer after they claimed to have lost the first one. By quick I mean the second one was received 2 days after I was told what the hold up was.

Like many posters before me have said Weber is the way to go. My 4th year into my 1st one a squirrel chewed through the gas line for the second time. While on the phone with customer support to order another regulator the rep said you ordered one 2 years ago whats going on? I explained the squirrel problem and she suggested a squirrel guard. I asked how much and was told no charge we'll put it in with the regulator. The guard is only a spring that fits over the hose to protect it but how many companies will throw in an accessory 4 years after you purchase their product? That Weber is now 13 years old and still cookin'.
