COE's would only work for long guns, correct? If it's a handgun you'd need to use a permit to take possession of it.

That's fine... the shipping was probably another $24.99 per box.

You mean SP-066? I don't think that's new. I've needed it every time (FID and P2P). The form revision is dated 11/07, so it's been required at least since then.

The only "requirements" in the law are: * Form STS-033: Application for FID/P2P * Some PD's may want two copies, others just need one copy. * $2/permit (my town wants cash AFTER permits are approved and picked up) * Form SP-066: Consent for Mental Health Records Search * Some PD's may want two copies, others just need one copy. * Do NOT sign until witnessed in person at the PD * Form SBI-212A: Criminal History Record * Get YELLOW form in person at local PD or info regarding the online application. * Money order/cashier's check for $18 payable to "NJSP, SBI" if doing paper, otherwise pay online (I think $20) Anything above and beyond that should be met with a copy of the recent court decision about PD's not being allowed to tag on additional requirements.

I just dropped off an application for more permits in Hackettstown. The detective mentioned that they'll be transitioning to the online system soon (still took my paper copy this time) and that it should be 4 to 5 days for online vs. 5 to 10 for the paper.

How did you even get a .38 round into your 9mm magazine? The overall length is like 1/4" different...

I took the class for Utah CCW at my gun club. The instructor came to our site, and we had club members there to take/print photos and get our fingerprint cards inked. I would think that some places may just do the course-work and you have to get your own photo (Walmart prints are OK) and fingerprint card (local police?) The course was 4-5 hours, no live fire. It covered basic firearms safety and Utah laws (they do NOT officially cover PA laws, but the instructor was friendly and willing to entertain questions/conversations about his experiences and *opinions* regarding other states). After that the instructor signs your attendance form, you mail it (along with photo, fingerprint card, and check for $51) to Utah and wait about 60 days for the CFP card to come back or a form requesting clarifications on any information that may be missing or not acceptable.

If it were me I would find another spot to vacation, avoiding NY like the plague (even upstate... they still elected the same governor). Otherwise it sounds like a good reason to pick up a bolt-action .22 for plinking.

If you are legally carrying, keep it holstered where it is... that's my opinion. That, or transition it to an alternative location when you first get in the car (i.e. console mounted holster, etc.) that may already be out of sight from a passerby.

Half lug - yuck Ugly wood grips - yuck Fiber optic sights - OK, cool, but not worth $140 more than the 4" stainless/Hogue grip version (that I have and love).

Ordered a couple boxes of #4 buckshot for home defense (to reduce wall penetration compared to the 00 buck I have loaded now). Would have tried #1, but they were out of stock. I never see it in the stores, so I figure it was worth $8 and a gift card

Local vendors are great, but I like the fact that these are 15 round magazines, not blocked 20 or 30 rounders. Something about that wasted space would just keep bugging me!

Shipping isn't too bad. I just ordered 3 and with USPS Priority mail it was $5.85 shipping (estimated, but no reason to believe it will change since there's no hazmat fee, etc.) UPS Ground would have been $9.85, and from there it goes up as you pick express, overnight, etc.

So 1,000 (or any quantity) rounds of live ammo typically incurs no additional hazmat fee, but shipping primers by themselves does require this? Weird.

I'm on the fence about whether I want to try steel case 9mm in my SR9 but the vast majority of the .223 I own is Tula/Wolf steel, and although I've only fired a few hundred rounds, every one has gone bang and extracted properly from my S&W rifle. If you do try it, buy a small quantity first to see if there are any feeding/extraction problems with your particular gun. Some can be picky and either bind up in the magazine, FTE, etc...

I think 30 cents per round, or under, shipped is a decent deal for steel cased .223 I've seen it pop up on gunbot between 24 and 29 cents before shipping several times in the recent past.

gunbot.net is free and works fine on my phone. Does this app search different vendors?

If the property owner authorizes you to shoot there, wouldn't that count? If not, where does the authorization come from?

Should be able to pick up all three permits at once, and the LGS/private seller sends in the state copy I believe (I never had to do anything other than take the gun home to admire my new addition...)

As much as I disagree with the onerous gun laws, I 100% support the idea that police should have to follow them just like any other citizen for off-duty use. Carve-outs is what gives them the power to create these bad laws because they get the support (and votes) from their buddies who are exempted.

That's why I joined the NRA and the SAF, but it's still a bit annoying to get the "Thanks for joining, but now we need MORE money" reminders every single week. The constant dumb letters from Chris Cox and Wayne that ramble on for 5 pages before the inevitable donation check boxes just make me feel like my first $39 goes to administrative waste. Also, quit asking me to renew 1 month after I extend my membership for 3 years! If I want to donate, I will. I sent money to the recall Morse and Hudak efforts without them soliciting me as I felt like those recalls, even though local to Colorado, may have national implications. So far I haven't gotten any invites to the "Recall Morse Wine Club". (Also, the SAF is not far behind NRA on the constant begging...)

More junk mail asking for donations, because you've proven that you have $$$.

I got my weekly renewal letter (even though my membership expires in 2016) and I had the $500 + jacket offer. Hey NRA - maybe you'd have more money to spend on actual issues if all of my membership dues didn't go towards the postage for all the crap that you send me.

Problem is the NJ law says "M1 Carbine Type" http://www.njsp.org/info/pdf/firearms/062408_title13ch54.pdf It's on Page 3 of that document.

Just reading that sentence hurt my shoulder.
