Sounds like good progress. I still wish they'd post a text version.

I'm usually not big on lawsuits, but this guy should own the town when he's done.

? I must've missed something.

@Zeke get one while you can.....

“It goes without saying that local and county officials are free to express their views on state and federal policies. What they may not do, however, is prevent law enforcement from enforcing validly enacted and generally applicable statutes,” Grewal said. What Grewal apparently did not continue with was that he sees no problem preventing Federal LEO (ICE) from doing their job. Typical hypocritical political scumbag. I truly feel for the good LEO of this State that are lorded over by him and his boss. May it be a short lived reign.

It was an impulse buy. I saw a Heritage Rough Rider .22 revolver pop on on Howell Gun Work's fb page for $150 yesterday. Figured $150 (+nics and tax of course), for a new gun that had pretty good reviews, it was hard to go wrong. Paid for it over the phone, picked it up and shot it today. The "instant" nics took about three hours today. They were still processing checks from yesterday when they started this morning. Not too big of a deal, my parents live nearby so I visited them. Fit and finish is about what one should expect for a $150 revolver. Single action only, 6 shooter; I'd have to buy a replacement cylinder to shoot magnums ($30 I think?). Pleasantly heavier than I expected, although I did read about that in reviews. A groove in the top of the frame acts as the rear sight with a standard post in the front. Trigger was lighter and smoother than I expected, so much so that the first shot caught me a little by surprise. Is that to be expected in a SAO revolver? First time I've shot one. I didn't dry fire it since the mfg warned against doing so multiple times in the owner's manual. Very accurate shooter as well, my wife and I both enjoyed shooting it. There's definitely something to be said about not having hot spent cases coming back at you. I would've preferred a longer grip, I don't have large hands and my pinky just catches. I almost regretted buying it so quickly when HGW posted a Ruger Wrangler shortly after. But the Ruger is $225 and for my intended purpose I didn't see the benefit of paying 150% the price of the Heritage. Besides, I liked the look of the Heritage more anyway. HGW has/had one left. While there I briefly fondled a couple of SIGs (wouldn't want Zeke to be disappointed) a P229 and P320, they had a heavier trigger than I expected. Smooth, but felt heavy to me, maybe I was just expecting lighter for no real reason?

I found the Resolution, the most recent meeting minutes update was from last November. https://oprs.co.monmouth.nj.us/OPRS/Meetings/AgendaFrmHolder.aspx?eid=523&ty=1

That's awesome! Much Thanks to all who were able and willing to make this happen! I thought I had read someplace a month or so ago that the Monmouth County Freeholders refused to even discuss it?

I have been. I competed in two or three IDPA before the range closed for renovations and several USPSA. Couple others too, I don't care as much for Steel. Just busting your stones a little.

No way I can be there. Please post update on how it went.

Zeke, you trying to say something? Stu, bad day for me, pretty sure this would not be an acceptable excuse for missing my niece's wedding. Still eagerly awaiting the reopening of the range and resumption of the matches.

Best wishes.

My last round via NJSP Hamilton (Mercer Co). Applied online 11/12. Emails that my references completed the surveys on 11/12 & 11/13. Email criminal history completed 11/16. Voicemail (I missed the call) from Trooper to my cell on 11/21, he was "having trouble verifying my employment". He called one of my references (happens to be a coworker) the same day; asked him if he knew where I worked, he said yes, we work together and told him where. Trooper thanked him and that was that. I spoke to the Trooper that day, claimed my company would not verify my employment w/out release letter from me. Said the confirmation from my coworker was sufficient. Email I was approved 11/24. Phone call from Trooper to pickup my permits 12/2. Without digging out the permits to check the date for verification, they were dated closer to 11/24 than 12/2. They were however already extended to 6 months. I paid no additional fees when I picked them up, which surprised me. The prior time, I handed in a check when I picked them up, the following week I got a call telling me I had to come in to pay for the permits (that I already picked up). I told him I gave a check. Never heard back, a few days later the check cleared my bank. I have my doubts on the chain of events on the whole letter from my company story, but I was not going to create waves. I never had an issue before. I think where I erred was by giving my desk # on the application. I am NEVER at my desk and do not get notifications when there is a VM. I later checked that line and there was a VM from the Trooper on 11/13 (I was also on vaca during that time), telling me I had to go to the Barracks and sign a release letter. Lessons learned: do not use desk # on application, check for VM daily during application process anyway. Always use coworker as a reference.

That was a thought I had, that the night events might not be the best for me to show up first time. It'd be tough for me to get there by the 5:30 start time as well. My house is being invaded, so I might swing by anyway to use the indoor range. Probably leave the shotgun home though.

I originally put this is in the club section, after 18 hours it had 3 views and no replies. So I figured I'd try here. Anyone going? Thinking of stopping in. I have NEVER shot trap/skeet.

Been going to Mike for years, started back when my wife had her business. On 35 in Wall, next to Coast Honda. https://www.vitolo-associates.com/

One exercise I was shown... Place an empty shell case on the top of the slide, just behind the front sight. Dry fire until you can do so without the case falling off.

I am not a lawyer or law enforcement, I am stating my interpretations of the laws and what I am comfortable doing. I have an extended cab pickup truck without a cap/cover for the bed. While transporting a rifle I keep the rifle unloaded and no mag in a rifle case. Handguns are in a handgun bag (unloaded and no mag) inside of a range bag. Ammo is in a ammo box, mags go in the ammo box (when there is room). Everything goes in the rear seat area (seat and/or floor), and gets covered with a moving blanket. Sometimes I will place the ammo in my locked bed toolbox, but that is usually too full of other stuff to allow room. Place of business means a business you are a owner of. Going from home to where you work as a non-owner employee is, in my understanding of the law an no-no. While going to/from a range, or FFL or gunsmith.... stopping for gas/quick meal/bank/etc... I am comfortable doing so. I will not drive 20 min out of the way to run another errand. I would not house-sit with my firearm. If you are house-sitting and use the owner's firearm, you have made an illegal transfer. The only workaround I see would be if a lease was written up, then you can have your firearm with you, as it would be your residence. Again, IANAL or LEO. I don't know if I would take a firearm to a friend's property for target shooting. If you are a member of a gun club that files a list of it's members to the NJSP, it gives you a little bit more leeway here and with transport laws. IANAL or LEO. I suggest you pick one or many of the many 2A associations available, support them and they will support us. Personally, I am a club member, I am a member of multiple 2A groups, I am a member of US Law Shield, which among other benefits allows me to talk to a lawyer for free at anytime to ask these types of questions. Did I mention, I am not a lawyer or law enforcement and the above is not legal advice?

You might have some trouble finding someone to give you a tour on a weekday. Might be stupid question, but why not have your BIL take you? Members have access 24x7x365; you just can't shoot outdoors at night. I was very nervous putting up that kind of money before spending time there. I took a bit of a leap of faith and have not regretted it.

I get nervous buying online because my local fedex/ups drivers are too incompetent. They like to leave my deliveries at other addresses than mine. And as stated above if local shops are not patronized, there won't be any left to patronize.

A co-worker's daughter has expressed interest; I sent him the link. I don't know if she signed up.

Update from ANJRPC. Not much new. February 3, 2020. Last week, ANJRPC filed an appeal brief in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit asking the middle-level federal appeals court to overturn New Jersey’s 2018 ban on firearms magazines that hold over ten rounds of ammunition.

There's also only two people one person that actually knows what happened.
