I believe any of those orgs will properly "Retire" flags.

Too bad it's not labeled as a gun safe. No NJ sales tax on gun safes.

I would think that an active retention of some sort would be a good idea, yes.

That's exactly what I'm trying to avoid.

Dan Your shoe buying analogy is a good one. The difference is shoe stores tend have a good selection and I can try them on. So far I've seen limited selection in shops. I "assume" if the shop had my gun in stock they "may" let me do a test fit? So far I have not seen a holster in a shop that I liked enough to ask that question. Kevin

I've seen a few posts regarding holsters along lines of which style or brands but none that seem to really address how one goes about choosing a holster. In my thinking picking one out of a picture from a magazine or website seems like a less than ideal method. I'd want to actually handle it and use it. This obviously brings up some challenges, such as selection and bringing my HG to a shop for test fitting. So how did you pick out a holster? By recommendation, by guessing and hoping, by ordering several and returning/selling ones that didn't work for you? While I'm more looking for the how than an actual recommendation I know it will be asked what I'm looking for. I'm looking for a quality owb holster that would likely only be used during times like Sandy when I'm outside tending to my property. I'm in a fairly rural area and in all reality have only myself to protect my family and property.

What's the connection with Grizzly? I have a fair amount of stuff from them.

Sorry for your loss. As bh said we only come when invited by the family. If you need assistance getting in touch with State Captain PM me and I will try to help. Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk

I am in possession of my Grandfather's Sears 101.1 Model 94C 20 gauge. I know it is a Savage. I know the only real value of it is my personal value and heritage. What I do not know is whether or not it is safe to use. My Grandfather passed before I was born and my Father has no idea of the operability of it. He thinks he recalled it was in need of a firing pin. I'd like to have it looked over and made operational again if feasible. Ideally I'm looking for someone nearby (I'm in Western Monmouth County) with familiarity of this SG that can perform an initial inspection while I wait, but am willing to travel if needed.

What other 22 pistols do you have in stock? I like the thought of the MP22 as I have a MP9 already and I like the thought of a similar platform for muscle memory. But I've read the Ruger and/or Browning is a "better" gun. I'd like to get my hands on all three, ideally at the same time. I have permit in hand, just waiting out my 30 days (about 2 weeks to go).

Also permits dated 10/30. Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk

Thanks. Good luck with yours. Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk

Yeah. I found their holiday schedule online today. At least I got the call today it came back approved. Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk

I found out the hard way when I went to pick up the pistol I bought 3 months ago after my 5 month wait for permit. I thought he said they closed early though, not the whole day? Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 4

Got the call today permits in. Go to barracks, in and out in about 5 min with permits in hand. Go across 130 to Cheyenne's. Wait about 20 min for my number to be called. Told still can't take home the gun I paid for because NICS is closed......election day. Of course they can not vote before work like anyone else that works past "normal" business hours.

Current status (short version). Stopped in barracks last Friday, given usual answer but also given names of Trooper and Sgt to call "during banker's hours". Called today and was told he doesn't know why I was told I was approved because no one knows that until permit actually comes back from Div HQ. Said I'm not in "his pile" and since I applied in June he estimates within a month. Get off phone with him and call AG office. She tells me to call Div HQ and ask for firearms bureau. If they are no help call back and she will send me to another dept. Call Div HQ, after some time I'm told she approved my app yesterday and it is in a pile off 100+ others waiting to go back to the barracks. She estimated I would get a call next week. When I asked about the differing stories and change of procedure (order) she said it all comes down to manpower. So if the person that does step 4 has more time they will do their part before step 3 then app goes back to step 3. She said she has an all time low of 165 apps currently on her desk, the numbers have been running in the 600s. And they passed last year's number in June. Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 4

Been there a few times. Unlike other indoor ranges I've been to there is nobody right there standing 5 feet behind you, the RSO sits up in a tower looking down. Sure the RSOs can be strict but seeing as how there is no prerequisite training/certification to shoot there I'd rather have a strict RSO with a sharp eye for a careless shooter on the range. I've also been to indoor ranges with an unmanned RSO window looking onto the ranges and seen enough stupidity to pack up and leave. Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 4

Range14 too far north for you? Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 4

I stopped in Hamilton Barracks this morning. The Trooper I spoke to was very professional/polite with zero negative attitude/vibe etc... He said it is not uncommon for Ft. Monmouth & Hamilton assignments to overlap, they are considered the same barracks. He had no answer as to why my references were called a month after I was told Trenton had my application. With that said he took my DL in the back to see what he could determine. Within just a couple of minutes he came back and said I had just been approved by Division HQ. The next step was for the permits to be interoffice mailed back to Hamilton and I would then be notified by phone I could pick them up. He estimated this to take about a week or two.

I'd need to check my notes but I believe I was told to expect 2-3 months. Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 4

So no way it actually went to Trenton already? Calls to references always take place before being sent to Trenton? Def going to work on writing up some letters. Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 4

I dealt with Hamilton for a FID change of address. That was almost 10 years ago though. Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 4

Dwamp...... Which barracks you drop off to? I'm thinking every town/barracks maybe even individual LEO does things differently. Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 4

Amazing. It gets more interesting. According to NJSP website there is no barracks in Ft Monmouth. Troop C (HQ in Hamilton) covers that area. But no physical substation aka barracks there. I think it's almost time to either make some phone calls or write some letters. Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 4
