Weshoot Incident
I stand corrected, RUTGERS95 is right on, if you have the cash for initial outlay CJRPC is definitely the place to go. I'm recently retired, so still figuring out financials but would join in a heartbeat when possible. I'd wait until spring also, but not sure what the wait time to join is. They also have a small indoor range open 24/7 I believe. The facilities are really nice.

Are the NJSP trying to Limit Us Further / Handgun Purchases
Although I consider it a banner year if I get two per year, I will be very interested in the response, if any, you get Bob. There had to be some discussion along the line comparing the previous process while developing what is now. On the other hand, I can see some gunless software developer not having a clue as to what collectors such as yourself may require.

Where Do Our Guns Come From?
It's not like I have a safe full, but 30% from FFL, 70% online. All were purchased sight unseen, fortunately no major issues with any of them.

Finally !
Bob, glad someone asked, always wondered why revolver .45 ACP came about.

FBI is urging retests for anyone who got coronavirus tests at N.J. lab
Doesn't the FBI have more important things to investigate, like maybe a fraudulently manipulated presidential election? Good job Wray!

The Last Forgotten Muscle Car
Not a muscle car per se, but my 2nd car was a '69 Thunderbird coupe with a 429. Had the wrap around backseat. Stuck it at 120 mph a few times, I was young and stupid.

Why the Delay (FPID & P2P)?
I haven't done the FARS online thing yet, but Hamilton Twp. (The one near Trenton) has been great in regard to the fpid/ p2p process, always just under a month and notified same or next day. I understand that the NJSP may be overwhelmed with applications (it doesn't seem to take much...covid, threat of unpeaceful protests, full moon), but isn't the entire process required to be completed in 30 days? I think the Murphy/Grewal/Callahan bromance seems rather evident.

Will Birchwood Casey Lead Remover/Polishing cloth change the finish of a stainless revolver?
I would suspect that anything that removes the rings is abrasive, even if only to a very slight degree. I have been using the Birchwood Casey cloths on the cylinder face of my brushed SS GP100 for more than a few years now and have noticed no change in the appearance. It does take a little elbow grease, and I don't clean them off every time I shoot it.

ANJRPC 10 Round Magazine case has had our en banc petition denied.
Cuomo only changed the policy because he didn't want to get the SCOTUS involved, just like they did in the recent 2A case in NYC. Roberts disingenuously supported the idea of the issue being moot, knowing full well that Cuomo could/would have immediately gone back to the prior religious liberties restrictions he instituted once the court backed off. Roberts is clearly on the left, especially after pontificating that the SCOTUS doesn't have a partisan bone in it's body, and how dare we question their integrity. Have a Happy Thanksgiving all!

ANJRPC 10 Round Magazine case has had our en banc petition denied.
Oh good, on to the SCOTUS! They've been all in on 2A cases! Sorry for the sarcasm, and I do appreciate the efforts made by many to defend our rights, but the judicial process as it exists doesn't exude confidence to do what is right.

The Limits Of PA Governor Wolf's Power
The secret is to drive over the bridge in reverse so it looks like you are leaving. Not sure how that would work on the Washington Crossing bridge though.

Face-to-Face Ammo Sales
Didn't think of that. If true, what are exempted places? As I read it the law states one can possess hollow points in home, while hunting, or to and from a range, or from the place of purchase, as long as person possesses a fpid/permit. It doesn't specify restrictions on types of places of purchase.

Face-to-Face Ammo Sales
Just FPID and DL, no restrictions on where the sale occurs, although I would probably avoid the middle of a MDA rally.

Got our first Handguns a month ago. Already looking at what's next
I also would reccommend a revolver. My second handgun purchase was a Ruger GP100. It is one of my favorites, and I would never part with it (on second thought, I wouldn't part with any of my guns). I only shoot it in DA, and think it has helped my trigger discipline with my DA/SA and striker-fired pistols. I really wanted a S&W revolver in 357, but every time I inquired about one someplace they always told me it was put on hold for some guy named Bob. Although it's a little on the heavy side, I would guarantee you and your wife would have a blast shooting 38s especially.

Thanks to Dajonga and Shooters!
Funny thing is, I didn't know about Shooters until last October. I had a p2p close to expiring (on principle I hate to waste those things) and a few extra bucks and decided to pick up a Wrangler. Found out Shooters had a few for the same price as the big online stores. When I first walked in it reminded me of a mini Cabela's. The place was much less crowded, and NICs took all of 10 minutes, with the same great service.

Thanks to Dajonga and Shooters!
A few months ago my son received his FPID and P2Ps. Of course, pickings were slim to none and I lamented this fact someplace on the forum. Our very own Dajonga (David) sent me a pm explaining he worked at Shooters and would be willing to keep an eye out for him. After a few weeks of pms back and forth my son picked up his first handgun with David's help, a full size S&W M&P at a very reasonable price with all that's going on. We had been to Shooters 2 or 3 times through the process, and even though the place was crazy busy, we were never rushed and were treated with the utmost proficiency and professionalism. I just wanted to publicly thank David and Shooters for their excellent service, and look forward to dealing with them again.

So I'm guessing at the next Starbucks meet Bob is buying?

Projected Impact of Dem Win on G&A
Maybe he meant to say restored instead of reformed?

Projected Impact of Dem Win on G&A
You misunderstand, I certainly don't hate you or anyone else with a different opinion than mine. If it's really you Fidel please say hello to Elvis and Tupac.

Projected Impact of Dem Win on G&A
El Jefe? Where have I heard that name before? Oh, I believe that was one of Fidel Castro's nicknames. Guns are dangerous, but so are votes. Just ask those who had relatives die in nursing homes because of the actions of two other well known dictators, Murphy and Cuomo. I actually have no problem with your comment about asking someone to take a 2 hour class and shoot 30 rounds, as long as it is a request and not a requirement/infringement. Furthermore, to suggest that since something hasn't occurred in the past won't occur in the future seems to ignore the rabid proclivity of members of a certain political party towards socialism.

Projected Impact of Dem Win on G&A
I'm not concerned with the polls, I'm concerned with the guaranteed fraudulent mail in ballots. But to answer the question, I don't see prices coming down any time soon no matter who wins. Or at least until the used gun market is flooded once the panic has passed, unless you live in Portland.
