  1. I can only speak of steel doors Some companies produce wood doors with steel inside, they look nice and inviting from the outside but good luck breaking one down. Steel doors will rust (given time/exposure to enough salt air and moisture) and dents will easily show, fiberglass is strong if not as strong as steel for this application. As pointed out by others the door is one thing but you need to concentrate of the jams and mounting hardware, cheap hardware and jams that are not reinforced would be counterproductive.
  2. As pointed out in this thread, if you must move a prohibited firearm into NJ (not suggesting anyone try it): - Good registration, inspection, valid insurance. - Make sure signal, brake and headlights work. - No pro-gun stickers on the car/truck/van, that means no NRA or "honk I'm reloading" decals. - Drive the speed limit or slightly under it. - Pack whatever it is you are carrying out of sight, in the trunk covered up with a blanket or in the back of a truck/van with clothing, etc. thrown on top. - No warrant = no search, if you get out of the vehicle lock the doors and if LE asks to take a look be firm and refuse on the grounds of privacy. Not suggesting anyone break the law but if you must the above is common sense and should keep you from enjoying a free ride in a police car.
  3. I'm adding to what you typed, making it very clear for anyone reading not to try it.
  4. You cannot bring a non-compliant firearm into NJ, go ahead and try it if you are stopped expect to be arrested. Makes no difference if you are a resident or non-resident, or if you are going to and from a range. It's illegal.
  5. If anything I learned to shop at local non big-name stores whenever possible, I would give my money to a small business owner whenever possible after that experience. Sometimes they have deals, always get flyers in the mail and sometimes in the AC Press but I avoid the temptation....not worth the cost of blood pressure meds lol
  6. Just wanted to clarify 100% for the other poster who thought I burned them. I avoid paying cash for anything over $500, if it's a lemon and the company leaves you stranded you are screwed but at least AMEX will try and make things right.
  7. To clarify, they were picked up separate by the same driver who works my route. I told him make sure it goes back the shittiest and slowest way possible in a joking way, he couldn't believe Dicks didn't think after the 1st incident to check the 2nd replacement for damage before shipping (or the 3rd which was scratched but otherwise usable). None of those safes ever made it back to Dicks, the PRO number shows it stuck in the mid-west and I'm glad they never made it back or Dicks would have pushed them on someone else. When you spend over $2K on a safe plus freight it should be delivered in new (as advertised) condition. mistakes happen but 3 times and something is lacking. The thing is, the carton/pallet/etc. showed no damage so Dicks shipped me JUNK and the freight company didn't mishandle the freight.
  8. Never ripped them off, I hate Dicks but wouldn't stoop to that level with any business. The 3rd safe had scratches on the door and side, pretty shitty looking so I sent pictures of all 3 safes to AMEX and they determined the merchant was at fault, apologized for the incident and covered me. American Express works with the merchant and if the merchant decides to thumb it's nose at AMEX they will cover the cost. AMEX will also cover electronics and other products if the merchant or manufacturer refuses to step in and make things right.
  9. Got it, I know I heard it before and it pissed me off knowing they took advantage of people. Nothing but bad experiences with Dicks,
  10. Shipped me the first safe, it was defective and they accepted the return. Shipped me the second safe...also defective and they refused to accept the return saying I should have known it was defective and refused freight but the freight company is not going to sit for 45 minutes while I unpack it when they have other deliveries to make. Call Dicks corporate and told them I want to return it, no they said I'm stuck with it. Really? well they changed the story and told me I could return it but would have to front the money for freight without refund from Dicks. Dicks got tired of me calling and said "OK, we will generate a pickup request". Third safe comes and has scratches but otherwise is OK, so I called and let them know. I wait and wait and wait....no refund from Dicks for the first two purchases. I call Dicks and they told me it's not arrived but I have proof it was picked up by R+L on such and such a day and time...they get shitty and refuse to call me back. At this point AMEX steps in and tells them to issue a full refund for all three safes, I send photos of all three safes to AMEX and they agree. My AMEX concierge calls and says "don't worry, taken care of" and I received my full refund. I never stole from Dicks, but Dicks had no problem earning interest on my money while leaving me with JUNKERS!
  11. BTW Jennings owner was charged with beating his wife and ATF allowed him to retain the FFL for almost a year before he had someone else obtain the FFL.
  12. It's fine. A felon can enter a gun store and look all he/she wants, it only becomes illegal if they leave the store with one which wouldn't happen with NICS. Parole might set conditions restricting you from entering a store that sells firearms/ammunition. A felon could also finance a gun store no problem but the license could not be in his/her name but he could be listed on the company board just not directly involved with the firearms aspect of the business.
  13. I have over a dozen rifles and shotguns with no serial number, never had a problem completing the NJSP forms or ATF 4473 just put "None" or "NA" in the serial box and be done with it. As long as the serial wasn't ground/filed off or tampered with it's fine which has been pointed out in this thread. If the serial has been tampered with run far away from that gun... But made with no serial number is OK and was common for many 22 rifles and shotguns.
  14. That's disgusting, if I buy something and pay for it I should receive it or a refund or my choice of product of equal value. Selling guns they others bought in advance (and paid for) is nothing short of fraud. Bunch of scumbags!
  15. Not legal in NJ = instant felon if stopped. You cannot transport anything banned in NJ into NJ (even if it's just for a few hours at the range) unless they are registered assault weapons in NJ which is unlikely. This is common sense, leave it in PA and don't even think about driving into NJ with it. Only exception would be if you were a NJ FFL w/ retail firearms license or have a NJ machine gun/assault weapon license and that's not going to happen IMO from my research.
  16. No, they stole from me and sold me JUNK. Thank god for AMEX, they took care of it and told Dicks to refund me or they would initiate a reversal...Dicks told them no and AMEX made good. Sending some TWO VERY EXPENSIVE safes that are DAMAGED not from shipping but bad stock and refusing to pay return freight, replace the product, etc. that is not legitimate practice any business should engage in. Edit: And they floated my money (several thousand dollars) for months and made interest on it...now that's stealing!
  17. I will never ever give them another penny! the two safes they shipped me were scrap and had massive dents, couldn't refuse the freight since it wasn't obvious until the bands were broken/pallet discarded/mile of plastic wrap removed... They shipped a second, same thing and basically told me "tough, it's on you". Got corporate on the phone and they sent me a third safe. Anyway when UPS freight came to pickup the two safes I know the driver and told him to make sure it never gets back to them...to this day (2 years later) they never got them back...they were lost in freight Oh and I filed a charge back with AMEX and they refunded me for all three safes, so I ended up paying nothing for the good one and got my money back for the clunkers they sold me. Horrible company IMO and what you posted about the AR's makes me sick.
  18. tell them it's for a carbine, you have a Marlin Camp 9mm carbine
  19. Also some stores carry "carbine" and "pistol ammo". When buying ammo I always tell them it's for a carbine, the 9x19 carbine ammo had the same load / specs as the pistol ammo just different wording.....
  20. I stopped going to Dicks after they dicked me by send two defective safes via freight to my home... I buy online and have it shipped. As posted above, make a copy (better yet, scan with highest setting) the FPID card and produce a backup to carry. I keep mine on me 24/7 (it's in my wallet where it should be) but the store is enforcing it's own policy as I've been told rifle/shotgun ammo is good to go with DL for age only, FPID is needed for handgun ammo.
  21. Just did a transfer switch installation myself, manual not automatic and covers interior lights and exterior lights plus some appliances (fridge and microwave, everything else is gas/propane). Here is the newest generator, not from them but can be found online and on craigslist much cheaper: https://colemans.com/shop/military-generators/4-3-3-0kw-generator-gas-powered/ Of course if you have the room go for one of these: https://colemans.com/shop/military-generators/generator-10kw-diesel/
  22. It's actually required (by law) that the FPID be issued or denied within 30 days of submitting the application. When it hits 30 days call them and be polite, keep this up and if nothing by the 60 day mark contact Evan Nappen who is the top gun lawyer in NJ. He has made plenty of calls for me over the last 2 years and never asked for a penny. Edit: When he called my local PD I got a call at 6 AM from the Detective telling me my card was ready out of thin air, they fear lawyers and especially publicity which Nappen loves Best of luck and please update us
  23. You do need to list the employer on the State forms but don't worry about the employer being out of State. Have them send the reference to your local HR. Here are links to the forms, print these out and take them with you but DO NOT SIGN OR DATE until the officer is present. STS-033 http://www.njsp.org/info/pdf/firearms/sts-033.pdf SP-66 http://www.njsp.org/info/pdf/firearms/sp-066.pdf Edit: Make it worth while and apply for 3 pistol permits too, just check "initial firearms purchaser identification card" and "application to purchase a handgun" and mark 3 in the quantity box, it is $6 for three permits ($2 each). Remember, in NJ BB guns are considered real guns. The Daisy BB rifle you are buying is seen as a AR-15 in the eyes of NJSP.
