Yup. works great. Thanks Howard!

I got mine yesterday too. First thing i saw was the made in china label - would have happily donated extra for a US made version. Then i was briefly upset because the US flag appeared backward to me, quick check online showed me wrong. Didn't realize the star field went forward on apparel, thought it was always top left - live and learn.

Saw the open sign lit last night so i stopped in. They are still in the process of setting up the store, but Joe took the time to talk to me and offer a noob some advice - seems like a good guy. Look forward to seeing the store setup.

Sorry for your loss.

Do you need your FID to purchase ammunition? i don't have mine yet.

How long has it been on the sergeants desk? I applied in April, the last time i called Leslie (who has always been very friendly and helpful) she said they are just waiting on something from the county so it shouldn't be much longer. She also mentioned that they were assigning another detective to help process applications on Monday because they had so many new ones to get through. I was optimistic till i read your post...

Good point Dan. I guess I need to adjust my perspective. Since I don't actually own anything yet I was concentrating on the dollar signs. Thanks.

I haven't even purchased my first gun, and already brought another person (maybe 2) into shooting. I took my second NRA course with ShootNJ - great instructors and a lot of fun. I did the pistol basic a few weeks ago, and just took rifle basic this weekend with my teenage son. I'm brand new to the sport (still waiting for initial FID), and feel much more comfortable bringing firearms into the house now that we have some education under our belts. I thought after I got my handgun, I might pick up a .22 rifle so we could go to the range together if he enjoyed it. Enjoyed is an understatement - He had a blast, was safe, and put up some impressive groups for a first time shooter! I guess video games really do help hand-eye. That part of my plan might have been a mistake (to my wallet) - the boy is already putting together a wish list of rifles to buy, way more than the $2-300 I was planning on for a 10-22 or 795 never mind the price difference between .22 ammunition and the .223 and .308 he really liked. oh, and as we were leaving range 14, he saw the trap/skeet shooting and asked when (not if) we would be learning shotgun... My wife expressed interest in trying it out after she listened to my son describe all he learned, and the fun we had at the range - Looking forward to spending some extra quality family time together, but not so much the cost of my new found hobby.

Since Paul is moving, are there any other FFL's that offer this service, either pinning or epoxying magblocks? Don't know which is better, but i would also like to purchase an XDm.

Thank you, Paul You are only about an hour away from me, Once my paperwork goes through, I'll make a run down to your shop.

13/13 - The chart at the end is disturbing.

I just realized I may have goofed. I recently applied for my FID. While looking through the for sale thread, I saw a sale that did not go through because the FID and the DL didn't match. I live in Manchester, but my mailing address is Toms River. When i filled out the FID paperwork I used Manchester as my town, because that is my local police station, and technically my town. My mailing address and driver's license use Toms River. The woman who took my application at the police department was very friendly, she didn't question the entry. Will this cause a problem when i go to purchase a firearm because the town names do not match ? zip code is the same on both.

Hello all! I just applied for my FID 2 weeks ago. I've been wanting to learn to shoot and possibly hunt for some time now, finally decided to take the plunge. This site seems to be a great resource, I look forward to learning a lot from you guys.

I searched google for information to start educating myself about NJ laws. Registered after about 3 weeks.
