Excellent - welcome aboard!

Bump. Anyone else want to join us? Kimber45, are you able to make it?

I have a confirmed booking for one of the special events bays so we're on - so long as the weather's OK. It won't be much fun if it's wet. You do not need to be a member of EFGA to join in. As I have booked it as a training event all comers are welcome. Half of the fee goes to EFGA for the use of their range. In case anyone is worried, I am an IDPA certified Safety Officer, NRA certified pistol instructor and I am fully insured as an instructor. I'll be there from around 1pm to set up. The session is officially going to start at 2pm. When you arrive, park along the access road near the rifle range, or park by club house and walk up. Please do not park past the gate for the special events bay area. The bays can be found by just continuing straight, parallel to the railroad instead of bearing right towards the rifle range and practice bay. The roster so far is: 1. NJSigfan 2. Blackjack988 3. 10X 4. acaixguard 5. BullzeyeNJ 6.

Is there much interest in an introduction session? I can book one of the special events bays so we won't be disturbed by anyone else. I'm thinking of Sunday June 1st at 2pm but we can adjust if that doesn't work for people. I will provide targets, pasters, stands, timer and instruction. You would need to bring: a pistol or revolver 2 mags/speedloaders minimum strong-side hip holster that covers trigger guard completely mag/speedloader pouches 100-200 rounds depending on how many people attend and how long we go on for Eye and ear protection To cover costs I would need to charge $20 per head.

I just got the regular stuff as I have a bed cover so it lives in the dark most of the time. Doing the whole truck gets expensive as the masking is much more complicated and therefore time consuming. Sent from my SCH-I800 using Tapatalk 2

I have a Line-x spray in and it stands up to anything from oil to mulch and pitchforks. Sent from my SCH-I800 using Tapatalk 2

The match at Somerset next month will be a classifier. Sent from my SCH-I800 using Tapatalk 2

It would be at EFGA and the time would be whatever fits the people wanting to come. Sent from my SCH-I800 using Tapatalk 2

Are there any takers for Sunday June 1st? Sent from my SCH-I800 using Tapatalk 2

Sure it does. Women always skip a few years, usually in their early forties. Sent from my SCH-I800 using Tapatalk 2

Although I will get a 1911 again someday, I had a real eye-opener after I put the PRP trigger in my XD. The question in my mind would be what do I want to do with the gun. My next is likely going to be a .357 mag revolver for IDPA use. I also could use a .22 semi-auto.

Either a 686 or GP100 4" for IDPA Sent from my SCH-I800 using Tapatalk 2

The only information about the gun being purchased is whether it is a pistol or long gun. The make, model, serial #, caliber, etc. are not passed to NJSP for a NICS. FtF are not logged at all. Pistols, on the other hand are all registered if you buy them in NJ as a copy of the PtPH (and form of register) goes to NJSP.

Yes there are many people who do this every day. Many of them are gang members who make places like Newark, Camden and Jersey City dangerous places. As you may have gathered, no-one on here, and I'm sure we all consider ourselves responsible, law abiding gun owners, would do this. Sent from my SCH-I800 using Tapatalk 2

Things are pretty busy for me for the next 2 weeks. How are you set for 26 thru 28 May? Is there anyone else who would like to join us for an introduction session? Sent from my SCH-I800 using Tapatalk 2

Not true. If you can legally possess you can open carry except in a city of the first class (i.e. Philly) Sent from my SCH-I800 using Tapatalk 2

The point is that if you were relying on a UT permit to do this, it no longer applies. Therefore you need to disarm in a vehicle. Sent from my SCH-I800 using Tapatalk 2

The unlimited has a much better ride than the short wheel base. Try it, you may like it. If you're planning to keep it long term and get the soft top, expect to replace it every few years. Sent from my SCH-I800 using Tapatalk 2

I think I need to clarify what's a requirement as per IDPA and what are local club requirements. When you go to your first match at any club you will be given a safety briefing which will cover the rules as provided by IDPA and any location specific items. This has always been the case. Last year the rule book was revised and text was added stating that the Safety Officers carried more responsibility for the shooters' actions. Some clubs brought in a local rule that previously unknown shooters needed to prove a minimum level of safety awareness before being accepted into a match. For Philipsburg, Easton and Hellertown the rule is you must have passed an NRA safety course or have proof of previous practical shooting sports participation as evidenced by holding a classification in IDPA, USPSA or ICORE. At Somerset we do not have this requirement but you will still receive a safety briefing. If you display unsafe gun handling you will be disqualified and will not be allowed to shoot for the rest of the day - just the same as anyone else, noone gets a pass for a safety violation. If we feel that you are just too unfamiliar with handling your gun we will advise you to get some training before attempting another match. IDPA is not a good way to learn to shoot. You need to have the fundamentals of shooting in your toolkit already before you can learn to shoot any of the practical shooting sports. There is no need to rush to get classified. It is intended to be a way to measure your level of skill so you compete against similar folks. For your first few matches you should be concentrating on safety and procedure and your times will not be comparable to anyone else. Once you have learned the game then it becomes more important. If you want to shoot IDPA at one of the clubs that require a minimum level of training then I recommend getting at least an NRA first steps course under your belt. It will be accepted as a nationally recognized qualification that can be used for more than just getting into your first IDPA match. You can get into a course at most of the commercial ranges in NJ or ask on these forums for qualified instructors. There are many of us on here and I sure you'll be able to find one in your area that can help you out. If you are asking about an IDPA specific class I haven't heard of one that is run regularly. I could meet you at EFGA (or a range you can guest me into that allows holster work) and go over the basics if you like. Sent from my SCH-I800 using Tapatalk 2

It has to be voted and passed by the whole Senate first. Assuming they vote on party lines without any thought as usual it is just a matter of time. Sent from my SCH-I800 using Tapatalk 2
