How to buy a handgun online? (first time)
I just purchased my first online gun last week off Gunbroker. I've been looking for a PPK/S and got an amazing Buy It Now deal on a barely used Smith model after not being able to find one anywhere locally. Ron from Legacy Firearms was very helpful in guiding me through the process step by step. I was somewhat overwhelmed by the whole process having never done it before, but it was easy. Here's my story: After winning the gun, I paid for it by phone and credit card. The seller said he didn't have my FFL's info, I called my FFL to send it to the seller. The seller shipped the gun to my FFL who called me when it arrived. I went to my FFL and walked out with it 10 minutes later. Total time from the end of auction to having my gun was only 5 days, including the weekend.

Flight radar
FlightRadar24 app is even better. Has even more info than FlightAware. Has all different types of filters and real time info.

In stock CZs and STIs?
Picked up a P01 from RTSP a couple of months ago. I don't recall what others they had though.

FPID and Employment reference
My town (Ocean Twp) called my direct supervisor at work and asked basically if I was having any issues at my job that should prevent me from getting a firearm. I'm fortunate that my boss is a very down to earth person and I get along with him well. But I could imagine in some instances that could make for some awkward workplace conversations the next day.

Thanks everyone. Picked up my first pistol, a CZ75 P01, a few weeks ago and have been enjoying working on my skills at Shore Shot. I wonder what my next acquisition will be!

FID & PP Card Township Paperwork Requirements
Ocean Township was just under 12 weeks from FPID/P2P submitted application/fingerprinting(same day) to completion and that was with the holidays. The clerk at the town hall was friendly and even told me to come if I needed a P2P extension...

Hello from Ocean Township. After lurking for a bit, I finally decided to join. Before and during my FID /P2P process, this site was an invaluable resource. Right now, I'm reading thread after thread, anxiously killing time till my NICS clears on my first pistol! Grump
