I'll take it if still available.

I would not suggest he put down unemployed. Then he is lying on the form, which would cause an entire other level of grief if caught.

Welcome, 1. Depends on the department and the officer doing the background check. 2. Threatening to call an employer acts as a deterrent, just like it is possibly doing for you. NJ does not want any citizen to be armed, at all, in any instance.

I got mine last week, returned it the next day. Check has not been cashed yet. I'm a newer member, this is my third year. Every single year there's been issues. Was there ever not an issue?

I second Simmons' as a good to go company.

I don't even pay attention to what Trenton says regarding weather anymore.

I just took a look at the old emails. It seems most were in early morning 0500-0800 more recently. Older ones came through at other times during the day or late night. These are the ones that came from the NJ Portal address.

Most likely. I don't have a local PD, only have to deal with the NJSP.

To answer one of your questions, they don't do the email about passing the background check anymore. I have not gotten them the last two rounds of permits. Side note, NJSP approved mine in 9 calendar days this last time. Also, they give a link for the E-FID each time now as well.

NJSP will usually post the status/backlog here. As of this morning, they were working on submissions from Friday. https://www.njportal.com/NJSP/NicsVerification

It's not just talk. It was approved at the January meeting. Capacity set to 4200 members. We're currently a tad under 4100, maybe over that by now.

I feel bad for the owners of the bike and the car he hit. I need to figure out how to get a slow-speed version of it. Best shot I could quickly get just pausing the yt video.

I went down this rabbit hole because I was wondering when the last "popular" or "mainstream" cartridge was created. If I go by number of manufacturers as a judge of the popularity and filter out fewer than four, then sort by year, it seems the answer would be 1994 when the .357 SIG came out.

Here I've sorted by number of manufacturers producing it. I removed the Nation filter, because I realized 9mm was filtered out, since it came from Germany. I'll try to edit the above post. Maybe I'll see if I can find numbers for actual rounds manufactured in a given year.

Reddit for the win. I was able to import the table from wiki into excel. I then filtered out rifles and non-US and sorted by the year. The way I read the "Factory Loadings" column, is that is the number of manufacturers producing that cartridge when the table was created. One could assume the more factories producing it, the higher the demand. This first image is sorted by date. Edit: I removed the filter for Nationality when I realized 9mm was missing. So this now includes all Nations, still handgun only, sorted by year. Obviously, I have not validated any of this data for accuracy.

Yes, I wish I could export it as a .csv file to bring into excel. Then I could filter out the rifles and sort the handguns by year, or any other item. I found another wikipedia that listed only handgun, but that didn't have a date column.

I finally found a list by year. It's rifle & handgun though, .327 Federal Magnum seems to be the most recent from 2008. The 30 SC is not on the list. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Table_of_handgun_and_rifle_cartridges

Yes, after I posted, I saw the .380 was from 1908. The .40 S&W was introduced in 1990. The 10mm Auto is from the 1980s. My unscientific guesstimate says the .40 S&W is more popular?

I didn't even think about the headaches it would cause sorting brass. I'm thinking more of the 30 SC and 9mm brasses getting stuck together like 9mm & .45 cases do now. Anyone have a source for timeline of when cartridges were introduced? A quick google search is failing me. When/what was the last new cartridge that became somewhat mainstream, .380 maybe?

I did a search, didn't see any posts about it. It seems Federal has created a new cartridge they've named 30 Super Carry. It's sized in between a .380 and 9mm. I found out about it via a marketing email from S&W announcing they've got two guns chambered in that caliber now. I did some (very) quick reading online about it. My initial reactions are 1: it solves a problem that didn't exist and 2: a mixture of anger and bewilderment. The anger and bewilderment over Federal spending time and resources when we're in an ammo shortage. Those feelings subsided a little bit when I realized they probably started the R&D on this years before the current shortages. But still, for every press making 30 SC, that's one press not making 9mm. For every pallet of primers used to manufacture 30 SC, that's one less pallet available for 9mm or reloaders. One article I read, includes a graphic (from Federal) which to me, shows the 30 SC hollow point would perform worse in a Self Defense use than .380 or 9mm. It has increased penetration over .380 and 9mm as well as the smallest diameter expansion of the three. I know I have zero interest in making a switch. Anyone willing to consider it? Anyone think this cartridge is needed? Link to the one article I referenced: https://gununiversity.com/30-super-carry/#handguns

Yes, the Insurance company did total the Honda, got a pretty good payout. We got "lucky" and found a 22 Subaru Outback.

I scanned/saved my permit application from when I applied in 2019. Said the same thing.

Yes. For now. If Bucky gets his way you won't be able to buy any ammo online. Some retailers will want a copy of FOID & DL, some retailers won't care, some will decline to ship anything to NJ.

Preliminary estimate came in from the body shop. I'd be shocked if the insurance company doesn't total it. Stopped in at a few dealers today. Only asked one guy about pricing, he said the price on the sticker is the price, that was for used, he had nothing new that we were interested in. Guy at Dayton Toyota asked if I knew about the "premium pricing"; they're tacking on an extra $3-4k on top of everything. I told him I understood that was the dealer's business decision, and I'd be willing to pay sticker but not over. I don't get paid a premium salary. He still wanted my info so he could add me to his spam list and harass me. I declined. We sat in a CX-5. Pretty nice, it's a possibility, I think the CX-9 will be beyond budget. Didn't drive anything today. Outback & Forester are nice also, RAV4 decent. I think Nissan is out due to bad taste from their CVTs. Ford and GM probably a no-go due to their stupid shifter setups. Didn't get to a Honda dealer today.
